Abstract

A security system including a multiple number of terminals and a delivering apparatus, the terminal including: an acquiring portion for acquiring information to be delivered; a reception portion for accepting a recipient selected from the plural terminals; and a controller which, when the reception portion accepts the recipient, transmits a session initiation request and recipient information representing the recipient to the delivering apparatus and which, when receiving session establishment information that indicates that a communication session has been established between the recipient and its terminal, transmits the information to be delivered that was acquired by the acquiring portion to the delivering apparatus, wherein the delivering apparatus includes: a manager which, when receiving the session initiation request and the recipient information, establishes a communication session between the sender of the session initiation request and the recipient and transmits session establishment information that indicates that a communication session between the sender and the recipient has been established, to the sender; and a delivering portion which, when receiving the information to be delivered from the sender, pushes and delivers the information to be delivered to the recipient.

,

a transmission control unit which, when receiving a right-to-speak acquisition notice from said delivering apparatus, transmits the information to be delivered acquired by said acquiring unit to said delivering apparatus,

said management unit, when receiving said right-to-speak acquisition request, further gives the right to speak to the sender of the right-to-speak acquisition request and transmits said right-to-speak acquisition notice to, at least, the sender, and

said delivering unit, when receiving said information to be delivered from said sender having the right to speak, pushes and delivers the information to be delivered to said recipient.

3. The security system according to claim 2, wherein said right-to-speak management unit, when transmission of said information to be delivered is complete, further transmits a right-to-speak release request to said delivering apparatus, and

said management unit, when receiving said right-to-speak release request, releases the right to speak release request that has been given to the sender of the right-to-speak release request.

4. The security system according to claim 1, further comprising an output unit which displays terminals other than its terminal among said plural terminals, as the recipient candidates, wherein said reception unit accepts the candidate selected from the recipient candidates as the recipient.

5. The security system according to claim 1, wherein said plural terminals and said delivering apparatus communicate with one another based on a PoC scheme.

6. A terminal capable of communicating with a delivering apparatus, comprising:

an acquiring unit which acquires information to be delivered;

a reception unit which accepts a recipient; and

a control unit which, when said reception means accepts said recipient, transmits a session initiation request and recipient information representing the recipient to said delivering apparatus and which, when receiving session establishment information that indicates that a communication session has been established between said recipient and its terminal, transmits the information to be delivered that was acquired by said acquiring means to said delivering apparatus.

7. The terminal according to claim 6, wherein said control unit includes:

a right-to-speak management unit which, when receiving said session establishment information from said delivering apparatus, transmits a right-to-speak acquisition request to said delivering apparatus; and

,

a transmission control unit which, when receiving a right-to-speak acquisition notice from said delivering apparatus, transmits the information to be delivered that was acquired by said acquiring unit to said delivering apparatus.

8. The terminal according to claim 7, wherein said right-to-speak management unit, when transmission of said information to be delivered has been completed, further transmits a right-to-speak release request to said delivering apparatus,

9. The terminal according to claim 6, further comprising an output unit which displays terminals other than its terminal among said plural terminals that can commutate with said delivering apparatus, as the recipient candidates, wherein said reception unit accepts the candidate selected from the recipient candidates as the recipient.

10. The terminal according to claim 6, which communicates with said delivering apparatus based on a PoC scheme.

11. An information delivering method for a security system comprising a plurality of terminals and a delivering apparatus capable of communicating with said plural terminals, comprising:

acquiring information to be delivered, which is carried out by a particular terminal among said plural terminals;

accepting a recipient selected from said plural terminals, which is carried out by said particular terminal;

transmitting a session initiation request and recipient information representing the recipient to said delivering apparatus when accepting said recipient, which is carried out by said particular terminal;

establishing a communication session between the sender of the session initiation request and the recipient when receiving said session initiation request and said recipient information and transmitting session establishment information that indicates that a communication session between the sender and the recipient has been established, to said sender, which is carried out by said delivering apparatus;

transmitting said information to be delivered to said delivering apparatus when receiving session establishment information that indicates that a communication session between said recipient and its terminal has been established, from said delivering apparatus, which is carried out by said particular terminal; and

,

pushing and delivering the information to be delivered to said recipient when receiving said information to be delivered from said sender, which is carried out by said delivering apparatus.

12. The information delivering method according to claim 11, wherein said transmission of said information to be delivered to said delivering apparatus includes:

transmitting a right-to-speak acquisition request to said delivering apparatus when receiving said session establishment information from said delivering apparatus; and

transmitting said information to be delivered to said delivering apparatus when receiving a right-to-speak acquisition notice from said delivering apparatus,

further comprising, when receiving said right-to-speak acquisition request, giving the right to speak to the sender of the right-to-speak acquisition request and transmitting said right-to-speak acquisition notice to, at least, the sender, which is carried out by said delivering apparatus, and
