call-importance-level determination means for referring to the transmission-source-information storage means to determine a call importance level corresponding to the transmission-source telephone number extracted by the connection-request receiving means, for the telephone registered member identified by the connection-request receiving means;
schedule determination means for referring to the schedule-information storage means to determine whether the current time falls in the response-rejection time zone of the telephone registered member identified by the connection-request receiving means;
connection determination means for determining that telephone calling is necessary when the schedule determination means determines that the current time does not fall in the response-rejection time zone; and
for determining whether the call importance level determined by the call-importance-level determination means is equal to or higher than a reference importance level specified in advance, when the schedule determination means determines that the current time falls in the response-rejection time zone, and for determining that telephone calling is necessary when the call importance level determined by the call-importance-level determination means is equal to or higher than the reference importance level; and
telephone calling means for performing telephone calling directed to a terminal corresponding to the transmission-destination telephone number extracted by the connection-request receiving means when the connection determination means determines that telephone calling is necessary.

Abstract
A computer-readable recording medium having recorded therein a telephone-call connection program for controlling telephone calling with the schedule of the other party of a call and a call importance level therefor being taken into account. A connection-request receiving block extracts a transmission-source telephone number and a transmission-destination telephone number and identifies the other party of the call from the transmission-destination telephone number. Then, a call-importance-level determination block determines the call importance level of the call for the other party of the call. A schedule determination block determines whether the current time falls in a response-rejection time zone of the other party of the call. A connection determination block determines according to the response-rejection time zone and the call importance level whether telephone calling is necessary. When telephone calling is necessary, a telephone calling block makes telephone calling directed to a terminal corresponding to the transmission-destination telephone number.
