Information processing apparatus, control method, and program

An information processing system comprising a first apparatus and a second apparatus,

• wherein the first apparatus includes:
• a determining unit that computes determination accuracy representing a probability that it is correct to use a first result as a result of a predefined determination on a determination target, and performs the predefined determination on the determination target based on the computed determination accuracy, the determining unit outputting the first result as the result of the predefined determination in a case where the determination accuracy is greater than a first threshold value, and outputting a second result as the result of the predefined determination in a case where the determination accuracy is smaller than a second threshold value (the first threshold value >the second threshold value),
• a requesting unit that transmits a first request for requesting the predefined determination on the determination target to the second apparatus in a case where the determination accuracy is equal to or greater than the second threshold value and is equal to or smaller than the first threshold value, and
• an updating unit that updates at least one of the first threshold value and the second threshold value based on the result of the predefined determination performed by the second apparatus, and
• the second apparatus includes a determining unit that performs the predefined determination on the determination target by a method different from the determining unit of the first apparatus in response to receiving the first request from the requesting unit, and transmits the result of the predefined determination to the first apparatus.

A control method executed by a computer, the control method comprising:

• computing determination accuracy representing a probability that it is correct to use a first result as a result of a predefined determination on a determination target, and performing the predefined determination on the determination target based on the computed determination accuracy;
• in the determining step, the first result being output as the result of the predefined determination in a case where the determination accuracy is greater than a first threshold value, and a second result being output as the result of the predefined determination in a case where the determination accuracy is smaller than a second threshold value (the first threshold value >the second threshold value);
• transmitting a first request for requesting the predefined determination on the determination target to a first other apparatus in a case where the determination accuracy is equal to or greater than the second threshold value and is equal to or smaller than the first threshold value;
• and
• updating at least one of the first threshold value and the second threshold value based on the result of the predefined determination performed by the first other apparatus,
• wherein the first other apparatus performs the predefined determination by a method different from the control method.
