Abstract

A data allocation method executed by a data allocation system. The data allocation method includes allocating to a first processing apparatus included among a plurality of processing apparatuses and allocating based on a first communication speed of the first processing apparatus, data having communication amount information on a frequency at which the processing apparatuses access the data, and further supplying first priority level information to the first processing apparatus; and exchanging based on variation of a communication speed of at least one processing apparatus among the processing apparatuses, the data or the first priority level information, and data or second priority level information allocated to a second processing apparatus included among the processing apparatuses and having a second communication speed.

Claims

1. A data allocation method that is executed by a data allocation system, the data allocation method comprising:

allocating to a first processing apparatus included among a plurality of processing apparatuses and allocating based on a first communication speed of the first processing apparatus, data having communication amount information on a frequency at which the processing apparatuses access the data, and further supplying first priority level information to the first processing apparatus; and

exchanging based on variation of a communication speed of at least one processing apparatus among the processing apparatuses, the data or the first priority level information, and data or second priority level information allocated to a second processing apparatus included among the processing apparatuses and having a second communication speed.

2. The data allocation method according to claim 1, wherein

when the first communication speed is higher than a third communication speed of a third processing apparatus included among the processing apparatuses, the frequency indicated by communication amount information of the data allocated to the first processing apparatus is higher than a frequency indicated by communication amount information of data allocated to the third processing apparatus.

3. The data allocation method according to claim 1, wherein

when the first communication speed is higher than a third communication speed of a third processing apparatus, a priority level indicated by the first priority level information is higher than a priority level indicated by third priority level information supplied to the third processing apparatus.

4. The data allocation method according to claim 1, wherein

the exchanging includes exchanging the first priority level information and the second priority level information, when the second communication speed is higher than the first communication speed.

5. The data allocation method according to claim 1, further comprising

comparing the first communication speed and a second threshold value that corresponds to the second communication speed, when the first communication speed is lower than a first threshold value that corresponds to the first communication speed and a priority level indicated by the second priority level information is higher than a priority level indicated by the first priority level information.

6. The data allocation method according to claim 5, wherein

the exchanging includes exchanging the data of the first processing apparatus and the data of the second processing apparatus, when the first communication speed is higher than the second threshold value.

7. The data allocation method according to claim 6, further comprising:

suspending a program executed by the first processing apparatus;

recording into the data allocated to the first processing apparatus, a stop position of a program code when the program is suspended at the suspending; and

transmitting the data to the second processing apparatus.

8. The data allocation method according to claim 5, wherein

the exchanging includes refraining from exchanging data when the first communication speed is lower than the second threshold value.

9. The data allocation method according to claim 8, wherein

when no exchange of data is executed between the processing apparatuses:

the allocating includes reallocating the data to the processing apparatuses, and

the data allocation method further includes resetting the threshold value based on the communication speed.

10. The data allocation method according to claim 1, further comprising

determining an exchange of the data of the first processing apparatus and the data of the second processing apparatus, when the first communication speed decreases and a priority level indicated by the second priority level information is higher than a priority level indicated by the first priority level information, based on a size of data allocated to the first processing apparatus, a size of data allocated to the second processing apparatus, the first and the second processing speeds, and an amount by which the first communication speed decreases.

11. The data allocation method according to claim 1, further comprising

executing the allocation of data and the priority level information by a predetermined processing apparatus that is included among the processing apparatuses or by a higher order managing apparatus that manages the predetermined processing apparatus.

12. A data allocation system comprising

a CPU in a processing apparatus that transfers data among a plurality of processing apparatuses, wherein

the CPU allocates to a first processing apparatus included among the processing apparatuses and based on a first communication speed of the first processing apparatus, the data having communication amount information on a frequency at which the processing apparatuses access the data, and further supplies first priority level information to the first processing apparatus, and

the CPU exchanges based on variation of a communication speed of at least one processing apparatus among the processing apparatuses, the data or the first priority level information, and data or second priority level information allocated to a second processing apparatus included among the processing apparatuses and having a second communication speed.

13. The data allocation system according to claim 12, wherein

the processing apparatuses are communication terminals that execute radio communication with each other through a base station.
