A device is dedicated to the management of communications between communication terminals (TMi, TFi and PCi). This device includes a memory (M) which stores user identifiers in correspondence with lists of at least one communication terminal identifier, and processing means (PM) which are charged, when they receive a call request to a user, known as the called user, from another user, known as the calling user, to access the memory (M) in order to extract from it the lists of identifiers associated with the calling and called users, and then to determine, from these extracted lists, a calling and a called terminal which are likely to establish a call between them that will satisfy the call request, in accordance with at least one availability criterion.
A device (D) for the management of communications between communication terminals (TMi, TFi, PCi), characterised in that it includes a memory (M) capable of storing the identifiers of users in correspondence with lists of at least one communication terminal identifier and processing means (PM) arranged, on receipt of a call request to a user known as a called user (Uj) from a user known as a calling user (Ui), to access said memory (M) in order to extract the lists of identifiers of terminals which are associated with the identifiers of said calling (Ui) and called (Uj) users, and then to determine, from these extracted lists, a calling and a called terminal which is likely to establish a call between them which satisfies the call request of the calling user, in accordance with at least one availability criterion.
A call server (CS) for a communication network (N), characterised in that it includes at least one management device (D) in accordance with one of the preceding claims.
