Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a data receiver that receives data from one or more apparatuses, processing circuitry that determines a transfer priority of the data received by the data receiver based on data type, and a data transmitter that transfers the data to apparatuses other than the apparatus that transferred the data in accordance with the transfer priority. The processing circuitry determines if there is any data that has not been transferred during a predetermined data transfer period, and, based on determination indicating that there is data that has not been transferred, modifies the transfer priority of the data that has not been transferred to have a transfer priority higher than that of data to be transferred next, to cause the data transmitter to transfer the data having the modified transfer priority preferentially to apparatuses other than the apparatus that transferred the data.
