Abstract

According to one embodiment of the invention, there is provided an information processing apparatus including: an input acceptance unit configured to accept an input of an incoming call condition for causing another information processing apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus; a transmission unit configured to transmit information about the incoming call condition when a call is originated to another information processing apparatus; a determination unit configured to determine whether or not a line disconnection request for requesting disconnection of a line remaining connected to another information processing apparatus, until establishment of a connection to another information processing apparatus is completed; and a line disconnection unit configured to disconnect the line remaining connected to another information processing apparatus if the determination unit determines that the line disconnection request is acquired.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

an input acceptance unit configured to accept an input of an incoming call condition for causing another information processing apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus to perform incoming call processing;

a transmission unit configured to transmit information about the incoming call condition accepted as an input by the input acceptance unit when a call is originated to another information processing apparatus;

a determination unit configured to determine whether or not a line disconnection request for requesting disconnection of a line remaining connected to another information processing apparatus, until establishment of a connection to another information processing apparatus is completed; and

a line disconnection unit configured to disconnect the line remaining connected to another information processing apparatus if the determination unit determines that the line disconnection request is acquired.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, comprising:

a display unit configured to display a message indicating that a line remaining connected to another information processing apparatus is disconnected, if the line disconnection unit disconnects the line remaining connected to another information processing apparatus.

3. An information processing apparatus comprising:

an input acceptance unit configured to accept an input of an incoming call condition for causing another information processing apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus to perform incoming call processing;

a transmission unit configured to transmit information about the incoming call condition accepted as an input by the input acceptance unit when a call is originated to another information processing apparatus;

a receiving unit configured to receive an audio signal, a data signal, or a mail indicating that communicating with a user of another information processing apparatus via a voice is not established, after a line is connected to another information processing apparatus; and

an output unit configured to output information included in the audio signal, the data signal, or the mail received by the receiving unit.

4. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a receiving unit configured to receive from another information processing apparatus information about an incoming call condition for performing incoming call processing when a call is received from another information processing apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus;

a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the incoming call condition received by the receiving unit is fulfilled;

a generation unit configured to generate a line disconnection request for requesting disconnection of the line remaining connected to the information processing apparatus if the determination unit determines that the incoming call condition is not fulfilled; and

a transmission unit configured to transmit the line disconnection request generated by the generation unit to another information processing apparatus.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the incoming call condition comprises a condition where another processing apparatus is in a predetermined area.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the incoming call condition comprises a condition where another processing apparatus is not in a predetermined area.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the incoming call condition comprises a condition where a battery life is sufficient.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the incoming call condition comprises a condition where another processing apparatus is not set to a manner mode.

9. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a receiving unit configured to receive from another information processing apparatus information about incoming call conditions for performing incoming call processing when a call is received from another information processing apparatus connected to the information processing apparatus;

a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the incoming call conditions received by the receiving unit are fulfilled; and

a transmission unit configured to transmit an audio signal, a data signal, or a mail indicating that a connection cannot be established with the information processing apparatus if the determination unit determines that the incoming conditions are not fulfilled.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the incoming call condition comprises a condition where another processing apparatus is in a predetermined area.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the incoming call condition comprises a condition where another processing apparatus is not in a predetermined area.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the incoming call condition comprises a condition where a battery life is sufficient.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the incoming call condition comprises a condition where another processing apparatus is not set to a manner mode.
