Information processing apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor, configured to:

compare items of capability information concerning a plurality of devices and extract a capability which is not sufficiently provided in a first device but is provided in a second device, the plurality of devices including the first and second devices;

create a menu to be used in the first device, the first device being able to display the extracted capability by using an icon in a mode different from an icon representing another capability and to display device information which indicates that the capability is available in the second device; and

send the menu to the first device.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, as the second device, the processor selects a device that is available for an operator to use the first device.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein, if a plurality of the second devices are available for the operator of the first device, the processor creates the menu so that the plurality of the second devices are displayed in ascending order of a distance from the second devices to the first device or in descending order of the capability of the second devices.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein, as the second device, the processor selects a device that is available in an organization in which the first device is installed and a device that is installed in a building in which the first device is installed and that is available for anyone.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

obtain the capability information and the device information concerning each of the plurality of devices from the plurality of devices.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein:

the processor obtains the capability information and the device information immediately before the creating a menu or receives the capability information and the device information voluntarily sent from the plurality of devices; and

if the processor has received the capability information and the device information voluntarily sent from the plurality of devices, the processor creates a menu immediately after receiving the capability information and the device information.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the device information includes information concerning a location of the second device.

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

comparing items of capability information concerning a plurality of devices and extracting a capability which is not sufficiently provided in a first device but is provided in a second device, the plurality of devices including the first and second devices;

creating a menu to be used in the first device, the first device being able to display the extracted capability by using an icon in a mode different from an icon representing another capability and to display device information which indicates that the capability is available in the second device; and

sending the menu to the first device.

9. An information processing apparatus comprising:

extracting means for comparing items of capability information concerning a plurality of devices and extracting a capability which is not sufficiently provided in a first device but is provided in a second device, the plurality of devices including the first and second devices;

creating means for creating a menu to be used in the first device, the first device being able to display the capability extracted by the extracting means by using an icon in a mode different from an icon representing another capability and to display device information which indicates that the capability is available in the second device; and

sending means for sending the menu to the first device.
