Abstract
A resource management system of the invention includes: one or more functional units 501 that provide a predetermined function as a service; a resource allocation unit 502 that allocates a resource for executing a service, to each of the functional units 501; and a points management unit 503 that, for each user and each of the functional units 501, manages the number of points held, said points being virtual currency required for receiving a service. Each of the functional units 501 provides a service for exchanging for each of the points held by the requesting user or other functional unit. The resource allocation unit 502 allocates the resource by reducing each of the points held by a functional unit that is the allocation destination.
Claims21
A resource management system comprising:
- one or more functional units which provide a predetermined function as a service;
- a resource allocation unit which allocates a resource for executing a service, to each of the functional units;
- and
- a points management unit which, for each user and each of the functional units, manages the number of points held, said points being virtual currency required for receiving a service,
- wherein each of the functional units provides a service for exchanging for each of the points held by the requesting user or other functional unit, and
- the resource allocation unit allocates the resource by reducing each of the points held by a functional unit that is the allocation destination.
A management device comprising:
- an information holding unit which holds points management information, with which the number of points held, said points being virtual currency required for receiving a service is capable of being grasped, for each user and each of one or more functional units that provide a predetermined function as a service;
- and
- a points updating unit which performs processing of moving each of the points from the requesting user or other functional unit to a functional unit of a request destination in accordance with provision of the service in each of the functional units and processing of reducing each of the points held by a functional unit that is the allocation destination in accordance with allocation of the resource to the functional unit by updating or editing the points management information held by the information holding unit.
A resource management method in a resource management system including:
- one or more functional units which provide a predetermined function as a service;
- and a resource allocation unit which allocates a resource for executing a service, to each of the functional units,
- wherein one or more information processing devices:
- for each user and each of the functional units, manage the number of points held, said points being virtual currency required for receiving a service;
- move each of the points from the requesting user or other functional unit to a functional unit of a request destination in accordance with provision of the service in the functional unit;
- and
- reduce each of the points held by a functional unit that is the allocation destination in accordance with allocation of the resource to the functional unit.
