Abstract
An information processing system, an information processing method, and a non-transitory recording medium. The information processing system receives from a device, a number of times of writing operations to one or more memories included in the device and counter information of the device, determines whether there is a malfunction or a probability of malfunction based on the number of times of writing operations received from the device, and identifies software that causes or is likely to cause the malfunction based on the counter information in response to determination of the malfunction, or the probability of malfunction.
Claims6
An information processing system comprising one or more information processing apparatuses, the information processing system including:
- circuitry configured to:
- receive, from a device having counter information stored therein, the counter information and a number of times of writing operations to one or more memories included in the device;
- determine whether there is a malfunction, or a probability of malfunction based on the number of times of writing operations received from the device;
- identify software that causes or is likely to cause the malfunction based on the counter information in response to determination of the malfunction, or the probability of malfunction;
- predict a future number of times of writing operations from a relationship between a date and time when the number of times of writing operations is received from the device and the number of times of writing operations;
- and
- determine whether there is a malfunction, or a probability of malfunction based on an expiration date during which the number of times of writing operations reaches a life of the one or more memories included in the device.
An information processing method performed by an information processing apparatus capable of communicating with a device through a network, the information processing method comprising:
- receiving, from the device having counter information stored therein, the counter information and a number of times of writing operations to one or more memories included in the device;
- determining whether there is a malfunction, or a probability of malfunction based on the number of times of writing operations received from the device;
- identifying software that causes or is likely to cause the malfunction based on the counter information, in response to determination that there is a malfunction or a probability of malfunction;
- predicting a future number of times of writing operations from a relationship between a date and time when the number of times of writing operations is received from the device and the number of times of writing operations;
- and
- determining whether there is a malfunction, or a probability of malfunction based on an expiration date during which the number of times of writing operations reaches a life of the one or more memories included in the device.
A non-transitory recording medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors on an information processing system, causes the processors to perform an information processing method, comprising:
- receiving, from a device having counter information stored therein, the counter information and a number of times of writing operations to one or more memories included in the device and counter information of the device;
- determining whether there is a malfunction, or a probability of malfunction based on the number of times of writing operations received from the device;
- identifying software that causes or is likely to cause the malfunction based on the counter information, in response to determination that there is a malfunction or a probability of malfunction;
- predicting a future number of times of writing operations from a relationship between a date and time when the number of times of writing operations is received from the device and the number of times of writing operations;
- and
- determining whether there is a malfunction, or a probability of malfunction based on an expiration date during which the number of times of writing operations reaches a life of the one or more memories included in the device.
