When a server apparatus 10 accepts an access of a user, the server apparatus
10 saves both identification information of the user and an access time
instant of the user into a file 27 during a preselected time period, and
also counts identification information related to the same user, which has been
saved in this file 27. Then, when a counted number is larger than, or equal
to a certain number, the server apparatus 10 judges that this user intensively
accesses the server apparatus 10 within a short time period. Thus, users
who access the server apparatus 10 are classified into a user who intensively
access this server apparatus 10 within a short time period, or another user
who does not intensively access this server apparatus 10 within a short
time period. As to such a user who intensively accesses a server apparatus within
a short time period, log information of this user is not recorded, so that loads
given to the server apparatus are reduced.
