Server apparatus, information processing method, and computer program product

An information processing method, comprising:

• receiving, from at least one first client apparatus, first reception data in which identification information for identifying the first client apparatus and first acquired data that is acquired by the first client apparatus are associated with each other;
• receiving, from at least one second client apparatus, second reception data in which a first criterion for determining the first acquired data and the identification information are associated with each other;
• classifying the at least one first client apparatus into at least one group;
• selecting, for each group and as a second criterion, a first criterion that is most likely to satisfy from among the first criteria that are associated with the pieces of identification information of the first client apparatuses included in the group;
• determining whether the first acquired data satisfies the second criterion for the group including the first client apparatus that has transmitted the first acquired data;
• and
• performing an individual determination process that determines whether the first acquired data satisfying the second criterion satisfies the first criterion associated with the identification information of the first client apparatus that has transmitted the first acquired data satisfying the second criterion.

computer program product comprising a non-transitory compute readable medium including a computer program causing a computer to function as:

• a first reception unit configured to receive, from at least one first client apparatus, first reception data in which identification information for identifying the first client apparatus and first acquired data that is acquired by the first client apparatus are associated with each other;
• a second reception unit configured to receive, from at least one second client apparatus, second reception data in which a first criterion for determining the first acquired data and the identification information are associated with each other;
• a classification unit configured to classify the at least one first client apparatus into at least one group;
• a second criterion selection unit configured to select, for each group and as a second criterion, a first criterion that is most likely to satisfy from among the first criteria that are associated with the pieces of identification information of the first client apparatuses included in the group;
• a group determination unit configured to determine whether the first acquired data satisfies the second criterion for the group including the first client apparatus that has transmitted the first acquired data;
• and
• an individual determination unit configured to perform an individual determination process that determines whether the first acquired data satisfying the second criterion satisfies the first criterion associated with the identification information of the first client apparatus that has transmitted the first acquired data satisfying the second criterion.
