Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

An information processing method to be executed by an information processing apparatus under a network environment in a cloud in a control communication system for control communication with physical equipment, the information processing method comprising:

• generating first control communication information of a first communication method for one-to-many communication from among control communication information required for the control communication based on a control communication protocol, the first control communication information being generated with use of information acquired from a network environment manager not included in a network in the cloud along a path different from a communication path, where the first communication method is not supported, of the control communication on the network in the cloud;
• and
• transmitting and receiving the control communication information according to the control communication protocol.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program configured to cause an information processing apparatus under a network environment in a cloud in a control communication system for control communication with physical equipment to execute operations comprising:

• generating first control communication information of a first communication method for one-to-many communication from among control communication information required for the control communication based on a control communication protocol, the first control communication information being generated with use of information acquired from a network environment manager not included in a network in the cloud along a path different from a communication path, where the first communication method is not supported, of the control communication on the network in the cloud;
• and
• transmitting and receiving the control communication information according to the control communication protocol.
