Information processing apparatus, information processing system, and non-transitory computer readable medium storing program

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to

perform grouping on a plurality of devices for each location at which the device is positioned based on position information, which is information related to positions of the plurality of devices;

perform regrouping so that at least one device belonging to each grouped group belongs to another group; and

create a schedule of changing software used in the device for each regrouped group,

wherein the processor is configured to use state information which is information related to use states of the plurality of devices to perform the regrouping,

wherein the processor is configured to use frequencies of use of the devices as the state information to collect a device having a higher frequency of use into at least one group,

wherein the processor is configured to perform the regrouping on devices other than the device having the higher frequency of use.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to create the schedule by using the state information.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is configured to use a frequency of use of the device as the state information, and create a schedule of assigning a time slot at which software is changed, in accordance with the frequency of use of the device.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the position information is at least one of subnet information and installation place information.

5. An information processing system comprising:

a plurality of devices on which software which realizes a predetermined function operates, and

an information processing apparatus which changes the software of the plurality of devices,

the information processing apparatus including a processor configured to

perform grouping on the plurality of devices for each location at which the device is positioned based on position information, which is information related to positions of the plurality of devices;

perform regrouping so that at least one device belonging to each grouped group belongs to another group; and

create a schedule of changing the software for each regrouped group,

wherein the processor is configured to use state information which is information related to use states of the plurality of devices to perform the regrouping,

wherein the processor is configured to use frequencies of use of the devices as the state information to collect a device having a higher frequency of use into at least one group,

wherein the processor is configured to perform the regrouping on devices other than the device having the higher frequency of use.

6. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to realize:

a first distribution function of performing grouping on a plurality of devices for each location at which the device is positioned based on position information, which is information related to positions of the plurality of devices;

a second distribution function of performing regrouping so that at least one device belonging to each group grouped by the first distribution function belongs to another group; and

a creation function of creating a schedule of changing software used in the device for each group regrouped by the second distribution function,

the program further causes the computer to:

use state information which is information related to use states of the plurality of devices to perform the regrouping;

use frequencies of use of the devices as the state information to collect a device having a higher frequency of use into at least one group; and

perform the regrouping on devices other than the device having the higher frequency of use.
