Abstract

According to one embodiment, a server apparatus includes a memory which stores a call forward table in which a phone ID of a first phone terminal and a phone ID of a second phone terminal differing from the first phone terminal associated with each other, when the first phone terminal among the plurality of the phone terminals performs a transfer registration to transfer an incoming call to the second phone terminal, and a controller which updates the management table to correlate the user ID of the data terminal correlated with the phone ID of the first phone terminal with the phone ID of the second phone terminal based on the call forward table.

Claims

1. A server apparatus which receives a call information event including phone IDs specifying a plurality of phone terminals to which call connections are performed and cooperates communication connections at a plurality of data terminals with the call connections based on a management table with user IDs stored therein, the user IDs assigned to the plurality of the data terminals, respectively, by associating with the phone IDs of the plurality of the phone terminals, comprising:

a memory which stores a call forward table in which a phone ID of a first phone terminal and a phone ID of a second phone terminal differing from the first phone terminal associated with each other, when the first phone terminal among the plurality of the phone terminals performs a transfer registration to transfer an incoming call to the second phone terminal; and

a controller which updates the management table to correlate the user ID of the data terminal correlated with the phone ID of the first phone terminal with the phone ID of the second phone terminal based on the call forward table.

2. The server apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

an update permission memory which stores update permission information showing permission/non-permission of an automatic update of the management table by the transfer registration by associating with the user ID, wherein

the controller executes an update of the management table based on the update permission information.

3. The server apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising:

a release permission memory which stores release permission information showing permission/non-permission of a release of association between the second phone terminal and the second data terminal by associating with the user ID of the first data terminal correlated with the first phone terminal, when the user ID of the second data terminal correlated with the phone ID of the second phone terminal is present, wherein

the controller executes an update of the management table based on the release permission information.

4. The server apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the memory stores a call forward table in which the phone ID of the first phone terminal, the phone ID of the second phone terminal, and transfer type information indicating a type of call forward are associated with one another;

and

the controller executes an update of the management table based on the transfer type information in the call forward table.

5. The server apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the controller updates the management table to delete the phone IDs of the first and the second phone terminals in the call forward table and to associate the user ID of the data terminal correlated with the phone ID of the second phone terminal with the phone ID of the first phone terminal, when the transfer registration by the first phone terminal to the second phone terminal is released.

6. The server apparatus according to claim 5, further comprising:

an update permission memory which stores update permission information showing permission/non-permission of an automatic update of the management table by the transfer registration release by associating with the user ID, wherein

the controller executes an update of the management table based on the update permission information.

7. The server apparatus according to claim 5, further comprising:

a release permission memory which stores release permission information showing permission/non-permission of a release of association between the first phone terminal and the second data terminal by associating with the user ID of the first data terminal correlated with the second phone terminal when the user ID of the second data terminal correlated with the phone ID of the first phone terminal is present, wherein

the controller executes an update of the management table based on the release permission information.
