Communication terminal, communication system, communication management method, and medium

A display control method executed by a communication terminal, the method comprising:

• obtaining attribute information that represents, for each destination candidate, one or more attributes of the destination candidate, and state information that represents, for each of the destination candidates, whether the destination candidate is in a state of being ready to start communication;
• determining, based on the attribute information and the state information obtained by the obtaining, for each of the attributes, which destination candidate among the one or more destination candidates associated with the attribute is in the state of being ready to start the communication;
• displaying, for each of the attributes determined by the determining with which at least one of the destination candidates is in the state of being ready to start the communication, information that represents the attribute in association with information that represents that said at least one of the destination candidates is in the state of being ready to start the communication, and to display, for each of the attributes determined by the determining with which none of the destination candidates is in the state of being ready to start the communication, information that represents the attribute in association with information that represents that said none of the destination candidates is in the state of being ready to start the communication;
• selecting the attribute, wherein the attribute is an available language, medical treatment, name of a place, or type of goods;
• and
• transmitting a start request for the communication to a plurality of destination terminals as the destination candidates in the state of being ready to start the communication that are identified based on the state information obtained by the obtainer, among the destination candidates associated with the selected attribute, and in a case where a plurality of responses to the start request are transmitted from the plurality of destination terminals among the destination candidates to the communication terminal, establishing the communication with one of the plurality of destination terminals among the destination candidates that is a transmission source from which the response was received first.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having a program stored therein for causing a communication terminal to execute a display control method, the method comprising:

• obtaining attribute information that represents, for each destination candidate, one or more attributes of the destination candidate, and state information that represents, for each of the destination candidates, whether the destination candidate is in a state of being ready to start communication;
• determining, based on the attribute information and the state information obtained by the obtaining, for each of the attributes, which destination candidate among the one or more destination candidates associated with the attribute is in the state of being ready to start the communication;
• displaying, for each of the attributes determined by the determining with which at least one of the destination candidates is in the state of being ready to start the communication, information that represents the attribute in association with information that represents that said at least one of the destination candidates is in the state of being ready to start the communication, and to display, for each of the attributes determined by the determining with which none of the destination candidates is in the state of being ready to start the communication, information that represents the attribute in association with information that represents that said none of the destination candidates is in the state of being ready to start the communication;
• selecting the attribute, wherein the attribute is an available language, medical treatment, name of a place, or type of goods;
• and
• transmitting a start request for the communication to a plurality of destination terminals as the destination candidates in the state of being ready to start the communication that are identified based on the state information obtained by the obtainer, among the destination candidates associated with the selected attribute, and in a case where a plurality of responses to the start request are transmitted from the plurality of destination terminals among the destination candidates to the communication terminal, establishing the communication with one of the plurality of destination terminals among the destination candidates that is a transmission source from which the response was received first.
