Abstract
A method for acquiring communication information in a communication system between a plurality of user communication terminals via a host computer on a network. The method includes registering, for each user communication terminal, beforehand in the host computer a user information including a communication confirmation schedule. The host computer transmits user information of a second user communication terminal to a first user communication terminal. This occurs when the host computer detects a communication connection from the first user communication terminal to the second user communication terminal.
