Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: receive a scheduled date and time at which control information managed by a management apparatus is downloaded to a device via an external network and an internal network and is updated, the scheduled date and time being determined by the management apparatus; obtain a predicted traffic amount per predetermined time of the internal network at the scheduled date and time; and, in a case where the predicted traffic amount exceeds an acceptable traffic amount per the predetermined time, the acceptable traffic amount being set for the internal network, give a request to change the scheduled date and time to the management apparatus.

Claims (27)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to

receive a scheduled date and time at which control information managed by a management apparatus is downloaded to a device via an external network and an internal network and is updated, the scheduled date and time being determined by the management apparatus,

obtain a predicted traffic amount per predetermined time of the internal network at the scheduled date and time, and

in a case where the predicted traffic amount exceeds an acceptable traffic amount per the predetermined time, the acceptable traffic amount being set for the internal network, give a request to change the scheduled date and time to the management apparatus.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to obtain the predicted traffic amount at any time point prior to the scheduled date and time.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to obtain the predicted traffic amount at a first time point at which the scheduled date and time is received.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to obtain the predicted traffic amount at a second time point at which the scheduled date and time is reached.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein, in a case where the predicted traffic amount is less than or equal to the acceptable traffic amount at the first time point, and it turns out, at a third time point between the first time point and a second time point at which the scheduled date and time is reached, that the predicted traffic amount increases at the scheduled date and time, if the predicted traffic amount after the increase exceeds the acceptable traffic amount, the processor is configured to give a request to change the scheduled date and time to the management apparatus.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein, in a case where the predicted traffic amount is less than or equal to the acceptable traffic amount at the first time point, and, in a case where the predicted traffic amount at the scheduled date and time is obtained again at a second time point at which the scheduled date and time is reached and the again-obtained predicted traffic amount exceeds the acceptable traffic amount, the processor is configured to give a request to change the scheduled date and time to the management apparatus.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the predicted traffic amount is obtained from past record information that relates a traffic amount serving as a past record with time information.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the predicted traffic amount is obtained from past record information that relates a traffic amount serving as a past record with time information.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the predicted traffic amount is obtained from past record information that relates a traffic amount serving as a past record with time information.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the predicted traffic amount is obtained from past record information that relates a traffic amount serving as a past record with time information.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the predicted traffic amount is obtained from past record information that relates a traffic amount serving as a past record with time information.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the predicted traffic amount is obtained from past record information that relates a traffic amount serving as a past record with time information.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the predicted traffic amount is obtained further from schedule information including a date and time at which an event takes place, and a traffic amount used in the event.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the predicted traffic amount is obtained further from schedule information including a date and time at which an event takes place, and a traffic amount used in the event.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the predicted traffic amount is obtained further from schedule information including a date and time at which an event takes place, and a traffic amount used in the event.

16. The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the predicted traffic amount is obtained further from schedule information including a date and time at which an event takes place, and a traffic amount used in the event.

17. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the predicted traffic amount is obtained further from schedule information including a date and time at which an event takes place, and a traffic amount used in the event.

18. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the predicted traffic amount is obtained at the second time point from traffic circumstances of the internal network.

19. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to receive a change of the acceptable traffic amount after obtaining the acceptable traffic amount.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

receiving a scheduled date and time at which control information managed by a management apparatus is downloaded to a device via an external network and an internal network and is updated, the scheduled date and time being determined by the management apparatus;

obtaining a predicted traffic amount per predetermined time of the internal network at the scheduled date and time; and

in a case where the predicted traffic amount exceeds an acceptable traffic amount per the predetermined time, the acceptable traffic amount being set for the internal network, giving a request to change the scheduled date and time to the management apparatus.
