Abstract
A communication system and a call processing method, with which a communication attribute of an incoming call or a held call is recognized, and the call is processed on the basis of matching characteristics of the communication attributes of accommodated terminals. When the call does not match with a given terminal in terms of a communication attribute, an associated message is displayed. When a given terminal is matched with the call within an allowable range of its communication attribute, the attribute of the given terminal is set to match with a requested communication attribute simultaneously with a response to the call by the given terminal.
