Communication system, connection management server apparatus, and recording medium on which program is recorded
First Claim
1. A communication system comprising:
- a plurality of data link activating side apparatuses which use Internet;
a plurality of data link activated side apparatuses which are connected to said data link activating side apparatuses through a circuit switched network to relay data to be transmitted/received between said data link activating side apparatuses and the Internet; and
a connection management server apparatus which is arranged for said plurality of data link activated side apparatuses to systematically manage information of logical link resources to be used to connect the Internet, and when one of said data link activating side apparatuses newly calls one of said data link activated side apparatuses, provides information that represents a free logical link resource and a data link activated side apparatus having the logical link resource to said data link activated side apparatus that is newly called.

Abstract
A communication system includes a plurality of data link activating side apparatuses, a plurality of data link activated side apparatuses, and a connection management server apparatus. The data link activating side apparatuses use the Internet. The data link activated side apparatuses are connected to the data link activating side apparatuses through a circuit switched network to relay data to be transmitted/received between the data link activating side apparatuses and the Internet. The connection management server apparatus is arranged for the plurality of data link activated side apparatuses to systematically manage information of logical link resources to be used to connect the Internet. When a data link activating side apparatus newly calls a data link activated side apparatus, the connection management server apparatus provides information that represents a free logical link resource and a data link activated side apparatus having the logical link resource to the data link activated side apparatus that is newly called.

15. A recording medium which stores a program which causes a computer to execute processing of managing a dormant function of a communication system comprising
a plurality of data link activating side apparatuses serving as terminal apparatuses of users who use Internet, and a plurality of data link activated side apparatuses which are connected to the data link activating side apparatuses through a circuit switched network to relay data to be transmitted/received between the data link activating side apparatuses and the Internet, wherein the program comprises a program which causes the computer to execute: -
a function of, when one of the data link activating side apparatuses newly calls one of the data link activated side apparatuses, providing information that represents a free logical link resource and a data link activated side apparatus having the logical link resource to the data link activated side apparatus that is newly called; and
a function of, when the data link activating side apparatus which returns from a dormant state to an active state newly calls the data link activated side apparatus, providing to the data link activated side apparatus that is newly called information that represents a logical link resource that was ensured in correspondence with the data link activating side apparatus before the data link activating side apparatus is set in the dormant state and represents a data link activated side apparatus having the logical link resource. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
