Information processing program, method, and transfer processing device

A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer-readable program, the computer-readable program causing a transfer management device, included in a system including a plurality of transfer processing devices and one or more transfer management devices, the transfer processing devices transferring data transmitted every predetermined time period from a plurality of transfer source devices to corresponding transfer destination devices, to execute:

• calculating a reception estimated time when the data are to be received based on a last reception time of the data and a reception time interval of the data for each of the plurality of the transfer source devices;
• calculating a shift completion estimated time based on a shift time period which is necessary to shift an assignment of a data transfer process of a transfer source device of the plurality of the transfer source devices from the transfer processing device to another transfer processing device;
• and
• transferring the assignment of the data transfer process from the transfer processing device to the another transfer processing device, the assignment of the data transfer process being relevant to a transfer source device having the calculated reception estimated time later than the shift completion estimated time and closer to the shift completion estimated time than any other transfer source devices.

A transfer processing device transferring data transmitted every predetermined time period from a plurality of transfer source devices to corresponding transfer destination devices, the transfer processing device comprising:

• a first calculator configured to calculate a reception estimated time when the data are to be received based on a last reception time of the data and a reception time interval of the data for each of the plurality of the transfer source devices;
• a second calculator configured to calculate a shift completion estimated time based on a shift time period which is necessary to shift an assignment of a data transfer process of a first transfer source device of the plurality of the transfer source devices from the transfer processing device to another transfer processing device;
• and
• a shift unit configured to shift the assignment of the data transfer process from the transfer processing device to the another transfer processing device, the assignment of the data transfer process being relevant to a transfer source device having the calculated reception estimated time later than the shift completion estimated time and closer to the shift completion estimated time than any other transfer source devices.
