CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION (S)

This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2019-125228, filed Jul. 4, 2019; the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD

Embodiments described herein relate generally to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and an information processing system.

BACKGROUND

Increase in work efficiency, efficient use of resources, and the like have been progressed using an information processing technology. For example, in a case where a plurality of packages are packed into a box, it is possible to reduce the number of boxes to be used by performing processing for deciding packing positions of the respective packages so as to increase a packing fraction in the box. In this manner, to achieve a purpose, information considered as appropriate is generated and allocated to a plurality of objects.

However, in a case where the information is allocated to the plurality of objects, it is assumed that an order for allocating the information is optionally decided. For example, in the processing for deciding the packing positions of the packages, normally, the packages that are set as packing objects may be packed in any order. However, packing of a package in a box in a first-in, first-out manner is also commonly practiced as the package has arrived in transportation industries. A related-art technology does not cope with a scheme for deciding the packing position with respect to the package each time the package has arrived. In this manner, instead of the allocation of the information to all the elements at once, a scheme is demanded with which it is also possible to cope with a case where the information is intermittently allocated.
