While using a communication system in which groups of destinations on a network are managed, and any one of the groups can be specified as a destination, if a group needs to be changed, added, or deleted, updating the system on the network is required, which increases load of maintenance. To address such a problem, an operation input receiving unit of a terminal receives selection of a group including destination information that represents destination candidates of communication. A destination management unit of the terminal determines a destination among the destination candidates represented by the destination information included in the selected group. A sending and receiving unit of the terminal makes a request for starting communication with the determined destination, to a management system.

Communication terminal, communication system, communication management method, and medium

An information processing terminal includes: circuitry to receive from a management system via a network, a candidate identifier of each one of one or more candidate counterpart information processing terminals that are previously registered for the information processing terminal; and to determine, in response to acceptance of an identifier that has been input, whether the accepted identifier matches any one of the candidate identifiers being received. Based on a determination indicating that the accepted identifier matches any one of the candidate identifiers, the circuitry transmits to the management system first request information requesting to start communication with the candidate counterpart information processing terminal identified with the accepted identifier. Based on a determination indicating that the accepted identifier does not match any one of the candidate identifiers, transmit to the management system second request information requesting to start communication with a counterpart information processing terminal identified with the accepted identifier, the circuitry transmits the second request information including destination information that differs from destination information included in the first request information.

A communication terminal including a processor to output a first display image generated by a first application for communication preferentially over a second display image generated by a second application for communication. The processor causes the first application to output state information indicating a state corresponding to an event generated by the second application.

An information processing apparatus includes: a transmitter to transmit content data to one or more counterpart information processing apparatuses through a network to have a communication with the one or more counterpart information processing apparatuses, the content data being at least one of image data and audio data; a receiver to receive, from a first information processing apparatus of the one or more counterpart information processing apparatuses, a recording start notification indicating that the first counterpart information processing apparatus starts recording or is recording the content data that is transmitted from the information processing apparatus, the recording start notification being transmitted with first identification information of the first counterpart information processing apparatus that is recording; and circuitry to output, based on the recording start notification, notification information indicating that recording of the communication is being performed, in association with information regarding the first counterpart information processing apparatus.

Disclosed is a transmission system to manage sessions established between a plurality of terminals for performing voice communications. The transmission system includes an acquisition part configured to receive a user's request from a user of a first terminal when a session start request is transmitted from a first terminal to a second terminal, a first sender configured to send the received user's request together with the session start request, a second sender configured to send to the second terminal the session start request from the first terminal by attaching the user's request to the session start request when the second terminal is in a communication capable status, and a presenting part configured to present the user's request to the second terminal at an arrival of an incoming call from the first terminal to the second terminal.

Transmission system, transmission management apparatus, and recording medium

A cylinder which can precisely feed a piston rodinto three different positions. The cylinder includes a spring receiving memberwhich is placed coaxially with the piston rod in a piston room. Movement of the pistonis limited by one end of the piston room and a stopperformed on the piston rod which prevents the piston from moving in the opposite direction. A first spring memberis disposed in the cylinder tubeto separate the spring receiving member from the piston. A hollowis formed on the periphery of the piston rod at a further position from the piston than the stopper and a stop pinin the cylinder tubewhich is biased in the direction of the hollow by a second spring memberengages with the hollow. A load port utilizes the cylinder for a production system.
