In each of the groups, one of the game devices (10) is set to a temporary parent node and the remaining two game devices (10) are set to temporary child nodes. Each of the game devices (10) constituting the group generates measurement data indicating a sum of response time for the other devices starting from the local device.

The child nods communicate with other child nodes via the parent node.
