Storage Medium Storing Control Program, Control Method, and Control Apparatus

A control method of performing communication with a plurality of conference servers configured to execute a plurality of processes that controls respective ones of a plurality of teleconferences executed among a plurality of terminal apparatuses, the control method comprising:

• determining, based on first information indicative of a processing load of each of the plurality of conference servers, whether there is a conference server having the processing load larger than or equal to a first threshold among the plurality of conference servers;
• in response to determining that there is a conference server having the processing load larger than or equal to the first threshold, determining, based on the first information and second information, possible combinations from a plurality of combinations of the plurality of processes that is allocated to the plurality of conference servers, the second information being indicative of the processing load of each of the plurality of processes, the possible combinations being the plurality of combinations in which the processing load of each of the plurality of conference servers is smaller than or equal to a second threshold;
• calculating evaluation information for evaluating the plurality of processes corresponding to each of the possible combinations, the evaluation information being calculated for each of the possible combinations based on at least one of the plurality of conference servers that executes the plurality of processes and the plurality of terminal apparatuses participating in the plurality of teleconferences controlled by the plurality of processes;
• determining, based on the evaluation information, one of the possible combinations as an execution combination that is a combination of the plurality of processes to be executed by each of the plurality of conference servers;
• and
• transmitting a notification to the plurality of conference servers such that the plurality of processes is executed by the execution combination, thereby allocating the plurality of processes to the plurality of conference servers.

A control apparatus comprising:

• a communication interface configured to be connected to a plurality of conference servers configured to execute a plurality of processes that controls respective ones of a plurality of teleconferences executed among a plurality of terminal apparatuses;
• a controller;
• and
• a memory storing instructions, the instruction, when executed by the controller, causing the control apparatus to perform:
• determining, based on first information indicative of a processing load of each of the plurality of conference servers, whether there is a conference server having the processing load larger than or equal to a first threshold among the plurality of conference servers;
• in response to determining that there is a conference server having the processing load larger than or equal to the first threshold, determining, based on the first information and second information, possible combinations from a plurality of combinations of the plurality of processes that is allocated to the plurality of conference servers, the second information being indicative of the processing load of each of the plurality of processes, the possible combinations being the plurality of combinations in which the processing load of each of the plurality of conference servers is smaller than or equal to a second threshold;
• calculating evaluation information for evaluating the plurality of processes corresponding to each of the possible combinations, the evaluation information being calculated for each of the possible combinations based on at least one of the plurality of conference servers that executes the plurality of processes and the plurality of terminal apparatuses participating in the plurality of teleconferences controlled by the plurality of processes;
• determining, based on the evaluation information, one of the possible combinations as an execution combination that is a combination of the plurality of processes to be executed by each of the plurality of conference servers;
• and
• transmitting, through the communication interface, a notification to the plurality of conference servers such that the plurality of processes is executed by the execution combination, thereby allocating the plurality of processes to the plurality of conference servers.
