Abstract
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 for the management of communications between communication terminals, the device comprising:
- a memory storing the identifiers of users in correspondence with lists of at least one communication terminal identifier;
- and
- processing means for, on receipt of a call request to a called user from a calling user, accessing said memory in order to extract the lists of identifiers of terminals which are associated with the identifiers of said calling users and said called users, and then determining, from said extracted lists, a calling terminal and a called terminal which is likely to establish a call between the calling terminal and the called terminal which satisfies said call request of said calling user, in accordance with at least one availability criterion.
