An apparatus, system, and method of managing candidate counterpart terminal information, each of which: stores, for each one of a plurality of terminals, attribute information relating to an attribute of the terminal in association with terminal identification information that identifies the terminal; stores, for each one of one or more request sender terminals of the plurality of terminals, a candidate list of one or more candidate counterpart terminals of the plurality of terminals that the request sender terminal is capable of starting communication with; receives a request for adding a specific candidate counterpart terminal of the plurality of terminals in the candidate list of a specific request sender terminal of the plurality of terminals; and determines whether attribute information stored in association with the specific request sender terminal matches attribute information stored in association with the specific candidate counterpart terminal to be added, and stores counterpart terminal identification information that identifies the specific candidate counterpart terminal in association with terminal identification information of the specific request sender terminal to update the candidate list of the specific request sender terminal when a determination result indicates that the attribute information match. |
