The computing unit calculates probabilities of transmitting information from each node to nodes coupled to the added edge, selects a subset of the nodes based on the calculated probabilities, selects nodes included in the subset as the starting points of information, calculates first probabilities of transmitting information from the selected nodes to each node based on the graph obtained at the first timing and second probabilities of transmitting information from the selected nodes to each node based on the graph obtained at the second timing, and detects a change in the communication condition between the first and second timing by comparing the first probabilities with the second probabilities.
