1. An information processing apparatus comprising: an obtainment section that obtains, via a network, information updated at a distribution origin on the network; a determination section that determines an obtainment rule relating to a timing of the obtainment by the obtainment section of update information for the distribution origin; and a decision section that determines whether or not update information is successfully obtained by the obtainment section from the distribution origin on the basis of a result of the obtainment by the obtainment section of update information from the distribution origin on the basis of the obtainment rule; wherein the obtainment section obtains update information on the basis of a predetermined learning rule for a first distribution origin for which obtainment rule has not been determined by the determination section, the determination section determines an obtainment rule for the first distribution origin on the basis of a result of the obtainment by the obtainment section of update information from the distribution origin on the basis of the learning rule, the obtainment section, in response to the determination of the obtainment rule by the determination section, obtains update information from the first distribution origin on the basis of the obtainment rule, the obtainment section, in response to the determination by the decision section that update information is not successfully obtained from the distribution origin, obtains update information from the distribution origin on the basis of a predetermined relearning rule, the determination section redetermines the on the basis of the obtainment rule a result of the obtainment by the obtainment section of update information from the distribution origin on the basis of the relearning rule, and the obtainment section, in response to the redetermination of the obtainment rule by the determination section, obtains update information from the distribution origin on the basis of the redetermined obtainment rule.
