METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING DISTRIBUTION STATE OF CONTENT IN WIRELESS PEER-TO-PEER COMMUNICATION, MOBILE TERMINAL AND PROGRAM THEREOF

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for measuring a distribution rate of contents in wireless peer-to-peer communication.

SOLUTION: In a wireless peer-to-peer (W-P2P) network 100, many user terminals 1, stepping terminals 3 having relay functions and measuring terminals 2 are connected in P2P connections by radio one another. The measuring terminal 2 acquires identifying information of the contents communicated among a plurality of user terminals 1 participating in the network 100 when data is relayed to send the information to a measuring server 4. The measuring server 4 calculates the distribution rate of the contents, based on the received information.
