A computer-readable recording medium which stores a computer-executable computer program for causing a computer to control communication between telephone apparatuses performing the communication with each other via a network, the computer program comprising instructions for causing the computer to execute:

• sensing a call originated from one of the telephone apparatuses via the network;
• detecting a telephone apparatus on a calling side and a telephone apparatus on a called side when the call is sensed;
• acquiring first use type information indicating a type of use preset for the detected telephone apparatus on the calling side;
• acquiring a present position of the detected telephone apparatus on the called side;
• acquiring second use type information indicating the type of use preset for the present position of the telephone apparatus on the called side;
• determining whether or not presence of an incoming call from the telephone apparatus on the calling side to the telephone apparatus on the called side is reported to a given communication apparatus on a basis of the acquired first use type information and second use type information;
• and
• sending an instruction to output the presence of the incoming call from the telephone apparatus on the calling side to the telephone apparatus on the called side to the given communication apparatus when it is determined that the presence of the incoming call is reported to the given communication apparatus.
