Telephone relaying apparatus, telephone relaying method, and program

A telephone relaying apparatus, comprising:

• a published number storage unit that stores, for each of a plurality of telephone terminals, a real number and a published number in correlation with each other, wherein the real number represents a telephone number used for directly connecting to the telephone terminal and the published number represents a number published for a third party as a telephone number of the telephone terminal;
• a first reception unit that receives a first call from a first telephone terminal of the plurality of telephone terminals in which a calling number is the real number of the first telephone terminal and a called number is a telephone number of a second telephone terminal of the plurality of telephone terminals;
• a number transforming unit that determines, in response to the first call, the published number corresponding to the real number of the first telephone terminal from the published number storage unit;
• and
• a relaying unit that performs a second call to the second telephone terminal in which a calling number is the determined published number of the first telephone terminal, and performs a relaying process between the first telephone terminal and the second telephone terminal,
• wherein:
• the first reception unit directly receives the first call from the first telephone terminal,
• when the first reception unit receives the first call, the relaying unit transmits the first call to switching equipment that performs a connection process of the first telephone terminal,
• the first reception unit receives the first call that is returned from the switching equipment, and
• the relaying unit performs the second call through the switching equipment.
