Abstract

The value relating to the average of the length of processing time required to process a plurality of information sets is reduced. In one embodiment, an information processing device comprises: a receiving component receiving information elements contained in respective information sets having one or more information elements; an information processing component carrying out processing of the information elements thus received; and a determining component determining a processing sequence for the two or more information sets or the plurality of information elements, and determining a processing sequence different from the reception sequence, in which a value relating to the average of the length of processing time for the two or more information sets becomes equal to or less than the value that would be obtained were the plurality of information elements or the two or more information sets to be processed in accordance with their reception sequence.
