Abstract
A method of collecting data into a server from multiple client computers is provided as a first aspect of the invention. The method includes the steps of: reconstructing a collection network in a tree structure having the server acting as a highest node and the multiple client computers acting as child nodes every time the data is collected; the server broadcasting a parent-child declaration to nodes placed at the lower level; and each of the nodes transferring data to a node placed at the higher level.
