A communication method according to an aspect of the present invention comprises the steps of (A) measuring communication speed of a communication network by a computer for performing conversion of de-duplication with respect to partial data obtained by dividing transmission data and transmitting the converted data to the communication network, (B) measuring, by the computer, a total processing time for the conversion, and (C) switching, by the computer, to a system for not performing the conversion in the case where it is determined that a situation holds in which transmission efficiency deteriorates by performing the conversion, as compared to the case where the conversion is not performed, on the basis of the communication speed, a total volume of the partial data, the total processing time, and a total volume of the converted data. |
