Abstract
A data collection method and system is provided, by which blank time due to a time lag is not generated and a call probability to be broadcast can be calculated based on the number of potentially calling terminals which was counted as recently as possible. In the method, the center broadcasts to terminals a call probability and a control ID number which is increased by one for each broadcast. Each terminal calls up the center based on the received probability value, and if calling up, the terminal informs the center of terminal data and the received ID number. The center manages the probability value and the number of received calls for each ID.
