Abstract

According to one embodiment, a server apparatus includes a memory configured to store a management table, wherein the management table showing a correspondence relationship among the terminal ID, a remaining amount of the battery, and an additional service concerning call origination and call termination, an acquisition module configured to acquire remaining information of the battery from the first terminal, and a controller configured to refer to the management table based on the remaining information of the battery, when an execution request for the additional service is issued, and execute an additional service corresponding to the remaining amount of the battery based on a reference result of the management table.

Claims

1. A server apparatus for executing communication connection between a first terminal being connected to a first communication network, and a second terminal being connected to a second communication network differing from the first communication network, wherein the first terminal is assigned a terminal ID and is driven by electricity from a battery, the server apparatus comprising:

a memory configured to store a management table, wherein the management table showing a correspondence relationship among the terminal ID, a remaining amount of the battery, and an additional service concerning call origination and call termination;

an acquisition module configured to acquire remaining information of the battery from the first terminal; and

a controller configured to refer to the management table based on the remaining information of the battery, when an execution request for the additional service is issued, and execute an additional service corresponding to the remaining amount of the battery based on a reference result of the management table.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein

the memory stores a transfer destination table as the management table, wherein the transfer destination table showing a correspondence relationship among the terminal ID, the remaining amount of the battery, and an incoming call transfer destination;

and

the controller refers to the transfer destination table based on the required remaining amount of the battery when an incoming call terminated at the first terminal, and performs incoming call control to an incoming call transfer destination corresponding to the remaining amount of the battery based on a reference result of the transfer destination table.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the memory stores an electric quantity table and a media determining table for determining a communication media depending on the remaining amount of the battery as the management table, wherein the electric quantity table showing a correspondence relationship among the terminal ID, a communicable communication media type, and consumed electricity for executing media communication, and

the controller refers to the electric quantity table and the media determining table based on the acquired remaining amount information of the battery and consumed electricity by the first terminal, when a use request for the communication media for the first terminal, and assigns the communication media to the first terminal.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the memory stores an incoming call priority table as the management table, wherein the incoming call priority table showing a correspondence relationship among the terminal ID, the remaining amount of the battery, and an incoming call preferential party, and

the controller refers to the incoming call priority table based on the required remaining amount information of the battery, when an incoming call for the first terminal is terminated, and performs incoming call control to an incoming call preferential party corresponding to the remaining amount of the battery based on a reference result of the incoming call priority table.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the memory stores an incoming call notice table as the management table, wherein the incoming call notice table showing a correspondence relationship among the terminal ID, the remaining amount of the battery, and incoming call notice media, and

the controller refers to the incoming call notice table based on the acquired remaining amount of the battery, when an incoming transfer or an incoming call rejection for the first terminal has occurred, and performs incoming call notice to the first terminal by an incoming call notice media corresponding to the remaining amount of the battery based on a reference result of the incoming call notice table.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising:

an update module configured to update content of the management table, when a data change request is issued.

7. A terminal apparatus which is connected to a first communication network, and is driven by electricity applied from a battery, the terminal apparatus comprising:

a connector configured to connect to a server apparatus which is connected to a second communication network differing from the first communication network, wherein the server apparatus executes an additional service corresponding to the remaining amount of the battery for the terminal apparatus;

a detector configured to detect a remaining amount of the battery; and

a transmitter configured to transmit an execution request for the additional service to the server apparatus based on the remaining amount of the battery, when the execution request for the additional service is issued.

8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the transmitter transmits an incoming call transfer request to the server apparatus based on the remaining amount of the battery, when receiving an incoming request.

9. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the transmitter transmits an incoming call rejection to the server apparatus based on the remaining amount of the battery, when receiving an incoming call request.
