Abstract
A selection device 80 outputs domain information that indicates a management system 50 capable of executing control associated with the start of communication using a selected relay device 30. Consequently, the control associated with the start of communication using the selected relay device 30 can be executed by any of the management systems 50 indicated by the domain information. That is, a load based on the control of the start of communication can be dispersed into a plurality of management systems 50, and thus there is an effect of reducing a load to the management systems 50.
Claims8
A relay device selection device for selecting a relay device to relay information transmitted/received between first and second transmission terminals, comprising:
- a memory to store domain information identifying a transmission management system capable of executing control associated with a start of communication using the relay device, for each of candidate relay devices;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to
- select at least one relay device from among the candidate relay devices based on information of the first and second terminals stored in the memory;
- extract, from the memory, the domain information identifying a transmission management system capable of executing the control associated with the start of communication using the selected relay device;
- and
- output the extracted domain information, the extracted domain information being associated with information of the selected relay device in the memory.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with an executable program stored thereon and executed by processing circuitry, wherein the program instructs the processing circuitry to perform:
- selecting at least one relay device to relay information transmitted/received between first and second transmission terminals from among candidate relay devices based on information of the first and second terminals stored in a memory;
- extracting, from the memory, domain information identifying a transmission management system capable of executing control associated with a start of communication using the selected relay device;
- and
- outputting the extracted domain information, which is associated with information of the selected relay device in the memory.
