Abstract

A sensor value is obtained by a sensor included in a terminal from among a plurality of terminals each of which includes the sensor, the acquired sensor value is stored along with an identifier used to identify a terminal with which the acquired sensor value was acquired, identifiers are extracted with which a difference of corresponding stored sensor values is equal to or smaller than a threshold value by comparing stored sensor values corresponding to different identifiers, an instruction for acquiring the sensor value is transmitted to at least one of the terminals corresponding to the extracted identifiers, and an instruction for extending an interval of acquiring the sensor value is transmitted to the terminals which are other than the at least one of the terminals corresponding to the extracted identifiers.
