Claim:
1. A communication control method for a communication control apparatus, the method comprising: receiving data, acquired by respective terminals, through a communication network that includes a network for wireless communication; accumulating the received data in an information recording medium; obtaining an intra-network transmission time, which is an estimated value of a maximum time taken for transmission from when the data are acquired by the respective terminals until the data are received through the communication network; determining, of the data accumulated in the information recording medium, the data whose time from an acquisition time point when the data is acquired by the respective terminals until a current time is shorter than the intra-network transmission time; excluding, of the data accumulated in the information recording medium, the data whose time is determined to be shorter than the intra-network transmission time from data used for predetermined processing; and executing the predetermined processing by using, of the data accumulated in the information recording medium, the data excluding the data whose time is determined to be shorter than the intra-network transmission time, wherein in the obtaining the intra-network transmission time, a communication status of the communication network is obtained each time the predetermined processing is performed, and the intra-network transmission time is calculated based on the obtained communication status.
