SERVER AND REMOTE QUALITY MEASUREMENT METHOD

1 . A server comprising:

a collector configured to collect a response to a signal transmitted to each of a plurality of remote devices to be remotely monitored; and

a comparison and determiner configured to perform comparison and determination using a plurality of responses obtained from the plurality of remote devices at a timing when the responses have been obtained from all of the plurality of remote devices.

2 . The server according to claim 1 , wherein the collector holds a flag indicating whether or not a response has been obtained for each remote device, each time a response is obtained from each remote device, changes a state of the flag corresponding to a remote device from which a response has been obtained to a state indicating that the response has been obtained, and outputs an activation signal for causing the comparison and

determiner to execute processing to the comparison and

determiner at a timing when the state of the flag has become a state indicating that responses have been obtained from all of the plurality of remote devices, and

the comparison and determiner performs comparison and determination using a plurality of responses obtained from all of the plurality of remote devices when the activation signal is acquired.

3 . The server according to claim 1 , wherein the collector holds a flag indicating whether or not a response has been obtained for each remote device, each time a response is obtained from each remote device, changes a state of the flag corresponding to a remote device from which a response has been obtained to a state indicating that the response has been obtained, and

the comparison and determiner monitors a flag in the collector and performs comparison and determination using a plurality of responses obtained from all of the plurality of remote devices at a timing when a state of the flag has become a state indicating that responses have been obtained from all of the plurality of remote devices.

4 . The server according to claim 1 , further comprising a timing adjuster configured to predict a time at which responses are received from the remote devices,

wherein the collector holds a flag indicating whether or not a response has been obtained for each remote device, each time a response is obtained from each remote device, changes a state of the flag corresponding to a remote device from which a response has been obtained to a state indicating that the response has been obtained, and notifies the timing adjuster of a time when the state of the flag has become a state indicating that responses have been obtained from all of the plurality of remote devices as a reception completion time,

the timing adjuster calculates a predicted reception time that is a time at which a response is received next from the remote device on the basis of information on the reception completion time, and outputs an activation signal for causing the comparison and determiner to execute processing to the comparison and determiner at the calculated predicted reception time, and

the comparison and determiner performs comparison and determination using a plurality of responses obtained from all of the plurality of remote devices when the activation signal is acquired.

5 . The server according to claim 4 , wherein, in a case in which a time is required for processing of a response in the collector, the timing adjuster adds the time required for processing of a response to the predicted reception time and outputs the activation signal to the comparison and determiner.

6 . A remote quality measurement method comprising:

collecting a response to a signal transmitted to each of a plurality of remote devices to be remotely monitored; and

performing comparison and determination using a plurality of responses obtained from the plurality of remote devices at a timing when responses have been obtained from all of the plurality of remote devices.
