RELAYING DEVICE, AUDIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, PROGRAM AND RELAYING METHOD

摘要

[Problem] To provide am audio communication system configured such that a relaying device and terminal devices are connected via a communication network, and communication between terminal devices is managed on the relying device side on the basis of the priority of communications.;[Solution] The relaying device is provided with a network communication unit, a control unit, and a priority information storage unit. A network communication unit communicates with a plurality of terminal devices via a communication network. A control unit transfers audio signals between terminal devices participating in a communication session. When a calling audio signal specifying a terminal device participating in the existing communication session as a communication partner is received, and the priority of the new communication session is higher than the existing communication session, the control unit causes the terminal device participating in the existing communication session to participate in the new communication session. The terminal devices transmit, to the relaying device, the audio signals to which transferring destination information indicating the transferring information of the audio signal has been applied.

1. A relaying device comprising:
a network communication unit for being connected with a communication network and communicating with a plurality of terminal devices via the communication network; a control unit for establishing a communication session when a calling audio signal is received from the first terminal device, wherein the communication session is participated by the first terminal device and a terminal device of a communication partner designated by the calling audio signal, and transferring the audio signal mutually between the terminal devices participating in the communication session; a priority information storage unit for storing priority information of the communication session; wherein the control unit includes a priority determining unit for determining the priority of the existing communication session and a new communication session which should be established by the calling audio signal on the basis of the priority information on receiving the calling audio signal designating the terminal device participating in the existing communication session as the communication partner; and the control unit makes the terminal device participating in the existing communication session resign from the existing communication session and participate in the new communication session in the case the priority of the new communication session is higher than that of the existing communication session.
