Abstract
A transmission/reception unit of a management system receives a relay device ID transmitted by a selection device. Also, the transmission/reception unit transmits communication control request information to another management system based on the relay device ID. Consequently, a relay device to be used to relay content data to be transmitted/received among terminals can be selected from relay devices that the another management system can control.
Claims9
A transmission management system to receive a request of start of communication between transmission terminals, comprising:
- a receiver to receive an input of relay device identification information identifying a relay device to be used to relay information transmitted/received between the transmission terminals;
- and
- a control request information transmitter to transmit control request information indicating a request of control to another transmission management system that is capable of executing control associated with the start of communication using the relay device identified by the relay device identification information, when it is determined, based on the received relay device identification information, that the control cannot be executed by the transmission management system.
