An information processing system in which the necessary information can be transferred via a network by the time this information becomes actually necessary, without damaging the utility and convenience from the user's point of view. An information transfer to a first information processing apparatus from a second information processing apparatus via a network is realized by predicting a necessary information which will be required by a user using the first information processing apparatus in future and a necessary time by which the necessary information will be actually required by the user, according to a knowledge concerning an activity schedule of the user; and controlling the transfer of the necessary information from the second information processing apparatus to the first information processing apparatus via the network such that the necessary information will be transferred by the necessary time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an information processing system in which the necessary information can be transferred via a network by the time this information becomes actually necessary, without damaging the utility and convenience from the user's point of view, even in a case in which the cost for the cache processing varies in time due to the activity of the user of the mobile terminal.
According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided an information processing apparatus to be connected to a network in order to receive a transfer of information via the network from an information management apparatus storing various information, comprising: prediction means for predicting a necessary information which will be required by a user in future and a necessary time by which the necessary information will be actually required by the user, according to a first knowledge concerning an activity schedule of the user and a second knowledge concerning a relationship between a user's activity and an attribute of information; transfer control means for requesting the transfer of the necessary information to the information management apparatus via the network such that the necessary information will be received by the necessary time; and storage means for storing the necessary information transferred via the network.
According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided an information transfer control apparatus for realizing an information transfer to a first information processing apparatus from a second information processing apparatus via a network, comprising: prediction means for predicting a necessary information which will be required by a user using the first information processing apparatus in future and a necessary time by which the necessary information will be actually required by the user, according to a knowledge concerning an activity schedule of the user; and transfer control means for controlling the transfer of the necessary information from the second information processing apparatus to the first information processing apparatus via the network such that the necessary information will be transferred by the necessary time
