A transmission management system stores association information that associates, for each one of a plurality of starting terminals, starting terminal identification information for identifying the starting terminal capable of requesting to start communication with one or more candidate counterpart terminals, and candidate counterpart terminal identification information for identifying each one of the one or more candidate counterpart terminals. In response to receiving a request for deleting at least one candidate counterpart terminal selected from the one or more candidate counterpart terminals, for at least one starting terminal selected from the plurality of starting terminals, the management system specifies candidate counterpart terminal identification information of the selected candidate counterpart terminal using the association information, and deletes the candidate counterpart terminal identification information of the selected candidate counterpart terminal from one or more candidate counterpart terminals being associated with the selected starting terminal.

Apparatus, system, and method of managing data, and recording medium

A transmission management apparatus, method, and recording medium are provided, including a memory configured to store address information that associates, for each one of a plurality of request source terminals, request source terminal identification information and candidate counterpart terminal identification information; a receiver configured to receive connection request information from a transmission terminal as the request source terminal; and processing circuitry configured to: determine whether to provide status information of the transmission terminal of another transmission management apparatus, based on information of said another apparatus associated with the at least one candidate counterpart terminal, to generate a determination result when the receiver receives the connection request information, provide the status information of the transmission terminal of said another apparatus based on the determination result, and acquire status information of the at least one candidate counterpart terminal managed by said another apparatus included in the address information of the transmission terminal.
