Abstract: A determination unit determines which one of a first and a second method has shorter response time when the first method is to analyze, in real time, all of information items designated as analysis targets in an analysis request and the second method is to analyze, in non-real time, some of the information items and analyze the remaining information items in real time. If the first method has shorter response time, an analysis management unit causes a first process unit to analyze all the information items in real time. If the second method has shorter response time, the analysis management unit causes the first process unit to analyze, in real time, information items other than the information items to be analyzed in non-real time, and causes a second process unit to analyze, in non-real time, the information items to be analyzed in non-real time.
