Abstract: As a result of performing a comparing and determining process of determining the relationship among the bandwidth of distributed data in real time in a local group, the incoming data bandwidth to the local group, and the outgoing data bandwidth from the local group, the increase/decrease management and the connection management of each terminal device in the local group are performed. The comparing and determining process compares, for example, a sum of the total sum of the terminal possessed transfer bandwidths and the incoming data bandwidth from other groups to the local group with a sum of the value obtained by multiplying the bandwidth of distributed data in the local group by the number of terminal devices in the local group, the outgoing data bandwidth from the local group, and a predetermined determination margin.

Abstract: A group management device determines a priority level that represents priority order of allowing a participating terminal to preferentially participate in a group, to which the group management device belongs, based on information relating the participating terminal and information relating to terminals that are managed by the group management device only in a case where the group management device receives information relating to the participating terminal, which has transmitted a participation request to the group, to which the group management device belongs. Based on the determined priority level, the group management device determines whether to transmit the participation request to another group management device and whether to reply to the participating terminal.
