<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device available to a plurality of providers through a user communication device using single user ID. <P>SOLUTION: A user communication device 102 requests connection to a device 101 used by a plurality of providers using an exclusive user ID for the device 101. Upon receipt of a connection request from a user, the device 101 extracts one or more contract provider information on the user from a database, and retrieves a network bandpass utilization ratio of each contract provider from a provider connection router 104. The device 101 selects a contract provider having the smallest bandpass utilization ratio retrieved out of contract providers as a provider to be connected, and acquires a user ID and a password used for connection with the provider from the database. The device 101 connects the user communication device 102 with the provider by transmitting the acquired user ID and password to a broadband access server 103. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
