Abstract
An estimation device includes: a collection unit configured to collect first information that has correlation with a display time of a web page from devices transmitting data in a network; a conversion unit configured to convert the first information into second information per unit time of each area including one of the devices; and a calculation unit configured to calculate an estimated value of the display time in each area in the unit time based on the second information and characteristics of the display time with regard to the first information. Thus, a display time of a web page is estimated from information which can be measured in a network.
Claims18
An estimation device, implemented by one or more computers, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- at least one computer memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- collecting, from one or more devices transmitting data in a network, first information that has correlation with a display time of a web page measured in each of the one or more devices;
- converting the first information into second information per a unit time that is a predefined time interval;
- and
- calculating an estimated value of the display time in each of estimation target areas including the one or more devices per the unit time based on the second information and characteristics of the display time with regard to the first information, the characteristics of the display time in which the display time increases with a decrease in an average throughput of an estimation target area,
- wherein converting the first information into the second information comprises:
- based on a collection time period of the first information being shorter than the unit time, converting the first information into the second information using the unit time as a criterion, and
- based on the collection time period of the first information being longer than the unit time, calculating the second information per the unit time using information regarding times before and after the collection time period of the first information.
An estimation method causing a computer to perform:
- a collection procedure of collecting, from one or more devices transmitting data in a network, first information that has correlation with a display time of a web page measured in each of the one or more devices;
- a conversion procedure of converting the first information into second information per a unit time that is a predefined time interval;
- and
- a calculation procedure of calculating an estimated value of the display time in each of estimation target areas including the one or more devices per the unit time based on the second information and characteristics of the display time with regard to the first information, the characteristics of the display time in which the display time increases with a decrease in an average throughput of an estimation target area,
- wherein the conversion procedure further includes:
- based on a collection time period of the first information being shorter than the unit time, converting the first information into the second information using the unit time as a criterion, and
- based on the collection time period of the first information being longer than the unit time, calculating the second information per the unit time using information regarding times before and after the collection time period of the first information.
A non-transitory recording medium storing a program, wherein execution of the program causes one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
- collecting, from one or more devices transmitting data in a network, first information that has correlation with a display time of a web page measured in each of the one or more devices;
- converting the first information into second information per an unit time that is a predefined time interval;
- and
- calculating an estimated value of the display time in each of estimation target areas including the one or more devices per the unit time based on the second information and characteristics of the display time with regard to the first information, the characteristics of the display time in which the display time increases with a decrease in an average throughput of an estimation target area,
- wherein converting the first information into the second information further includes:
- based on a collection time period of the first information being shorter than the unit time, converting the first information into the second information using the unit time as a criterion, and
- based on the collection time period of the first information being longer than the unit time, calculating the second information per the unit time using information regarding times before and after the collection time period of the first information.
