Abstract

The present invention provides at least a method includes: extracting a plurality of partial communities from a plurality of users, based on the relationships of companion messages; computing a first degree of similarity for showing the similarity of the companion partial communities, based on the relationship of a user belonging to one partial community with a user belonging to the other partial community, from among the plurality of communities; computing a second degree of similarity for showing the similarity of companion partial communities, based on words within the messages sent by users belonging to both partial communities and under the condition that the first similarity be higher than a predetermined first threshold value; and creating an integrated community by integrating the companion partial communities under the condition that the second similarity be higher than a predetermined second threshold value.
