Abstract
Disclosed is an object arrangement apparatus which arranges a plurality of objects approximately uniformly to a plurality of arrangement destinations by a comparatively easy processing configuration. This object arrangement apparatus includes an arrangement destination determination means. The arrangement destination determination means refers to sequence information generated based on unique information for objects and refers to corresponding information between arrangement destination identifiers identifying arrangement destinations of the objects and second numbers associated with the arrangement destination identifiers. The arrangement destination determination means generates first numbers by using the sequence information, the first numbers not having a correlation therebetween when the first numbers are generated with different sequence information, and repeats generating a new first number until the first number matches the second number contained in the corresponding information. The arrangement destination determination means determines, when the first number matches any of the second numbers, to arrange the object to an arrangement destination corresponding to the arrangement destination identifier related to the matched second number.
