Abstract

[Problem] When registering a new destination candidate to the destination list, the management server queries the transmission terminal that is to be the new destination candidate to ask whether it is OK to register it as a destination candidate. If the transmission terminal approves the registration, the new destination candidate is registered. However, when the transmission terminal does not manage the destination list itself, and the management server manages the destination list, there has been no method disclosed to remove a destination candidate from the destination list. [Solution] The administrator terminal 20a sends a deletion request to the transmission management system 40 to delete the transmission terminal 10ca, which is not under management, from each destination list (destination list management DB) of the transmission terminals under management (10aa, 10ab) (ST31). As a result, the transmission management system 40 performs a batch deletion from each destination list (destination list management DB) (ST32) and sends a deletion completion notification to each transmission terminal (10aa, 10ab, 10ca) (ST33).

Claims (10)

  1. A transmission management system for managing destination candidates for a predetermined transmission terminal, A storage means for storing related information which associates initiation terminal identification information for identifying an initiation terminal that is a transmission terminal requesting the commencement of communication among the aforementioned transmission terminals, and destination candidate identification information for identifying a destination candidate for said initiation terminal. A receiving means that receives a deletion request to delete a specific destination candidate identification information from among the destination candidate identification information associated with a specific starting terminal identification information, A deletion means that deletes the specific destination candidate identification information from among the destination candidate identification information associated with the specific starting terminal identification information in the related information, based on a deletion request received by the receiving means, A transmission management system characterized by having the following features.
  2. A transmission management system according to claim 1, A transmission management system characterized by having a transmission means for sending a deletion completion notification indicating that the deletion has been completed to a destination candidate indicated by the destination candidate identification information deleted by the deletion means.
  3. The transmission management system according to claim 2, characterized in that the transmission means transmits the deletion completion notification to the starting terminal indicated by the specific starting terminal identification information.
  4. If the deletion request indicates the deletion of specific destination candidate identification information associated with a plurality of specific initiating terminal identification information, the deletion means is characterized in that it deletes each specific destination candidate identification information associated with the plurality of specific initiating terminal identification information in the related information, as described in any one of claims 1 to 3.
  5. If the deletion request indicates the deletion of specific destination candidate identification information associated with all initiating terminal identification information, the deletion means deletes each specific destination candidate identification information associated with all initiating terminal identification information in the related information, as described in any one of claims 1 to 3.
  6. If the deletion request indicates the deletion of multiple specific destination candidate identification information among the destination candidates associated with a specific initiating terminal identification information, the deletion means is characterized in that it deletes the multiple specific destination candidate identification information associated with the specific initiating terminal identification information in the related information, as described in any one of claims 1 to 5.
  7. If the deletion request indicates the deletion of all destination candidate identification information among the destination candidates associated with a specific initiating terminal identification information, the deletion means deletes all of the destination candidate identification information associated with the specific initiating terminal identification information in the related information, as described in any one of claims 1 to 5.
  8. The aforementioned deletion means is characterized by deleting data in a batch, as described in claims 4 to 7 of the transmission management system.
  9. A management method performed by a transmission management system that manages destination candidates for a predetermined transmission terminal, The transmission management system has a storage means for storing related information which is associated with initiating terminal identification information for identifying an initiating terminal that is a transmission terminal that requests the start of communication, and destination candidate identification information for identifying a destination candidate for the initiating terminal. The aforementioned transmission management system is A receiving step that receives a deletion request to delete a specific destination candidate identification information from among the destination candidate identification information associated with a specific initiating terminal identification information, A deletion step in which, based on the deletion request received in the receiving step, the specific destination candidate identification information is deleted from among the destination candidate identification information associated with the specific starting terminal identification information in the related information, A management method characterized by performing the following actions.
  10. A program for causing a computer to perform the method described in claim 9.

Description

This invention relates to an invention for managing destination candidates for a predetermined transmission terminal. In recent years, with the demand to reduce travel expenses and travel time, transmission systems that conduct video conferencing via communication networks such as the internet have become widespread. In such transmission systems, when a call is initiated between multiple transmission terminals, image and audio data are transmitted and received, enabling video conferencing. Furthermore, to make it easier for users to select their desired destination terminal from a list of call destination candidates, the initiating terminal requesting the call can display a destination list, allowing the user to select their preferred destination terminal (see Patent Document 1). Additionally, when registering a new destination candidate to the destination list, the management server queries the transmission terminal designated as the new destination candidate to inquire whether it is acceptable to register it as a destination candidate. If the transmission terminal approves the registration, the new destination candidate is registered (see Patent Document 2). On the other hand, it is well known that, in the case of mobile phones, users can delete potential recipients from their registered recipient list.
