An information processing method for a computer having a memory and a processor coupled to the memory, and the computer is coupled between a plurality of transmission nodes and a reception node. The method including: calculating coefficients of an equation, the coefficients corresponding to a number of transmission nodes having an abnormality among a plurality of transmission nodes, based on a numeric value including state information of transmission nodes having the abnormality and identification information for identifying the transmission nodes having the abnormality; and transmitting the coefficients to a reception node that extracts the numeric value from a solution of the equation using the coefficients.
