Satisfaction level indexes in the respective continuous values of the parameters indicating communication quality, the satisfaction degree indexes in the respective continuous values of the parameters indicating the communication cost, and the satisfaction degree indexes of the quality and the cost are synthesized as the request condition of the communication service users.
