1. An information processing method, comprising:
acquiring, by an information processing device, numerical value information pertaining to an attribute of a network slice, the numerical value information being obtained by converting input information, which has been inputted through a user interface for receiving a user demand related to communication quality;
selecting, by the information processing device, a network slice with reference to the numerical value information from among a plurality of network slices as a candidate to which a terminal device is to be connected;
accumulating the user demand; and
carrying out, in accordance with whether or not a number of the user demands, which has been accumulated in the accumulating, is greater than a predetermined number, at least one of:
a process comprising adding a new network slice to the plurality of network slices; and
a process comprising deleting a certain network slice from the plurality of network slices,
wherein the process comprising deleting the certain network slice from the plurality of network slices comprises, in a case where a number of user demands to increase reliability has fallen below a predetermined number in a predetermined time period, deleting a network slice having attribute information of highest reliability among the plurality of network slices from the plurality of network slices.
