1. A communications intermediating method for mediating communications user terminals carry out sharing virtual spaces on a network, the communications intermediating method:

  • furnishing network resource symbols to the user terminals;

    setting up in advance a correspondence table in which identifiers for the virtual spaces and identifiers for the symbols are correlated;

    providing an intermediating terminal enabling communication with the user terminals, and based on the correspondence table enabling conversion between the symbol identifiers and the virtual-space identifiers;

    sending the symbol identifiers from the user terminals to the intermediating terminal; and

    reporting from the intermediating terminal to the user terminals the virtual-space identifiers that correspond to the symbols;

    wherein based on the reported virtual-space identifiers the user terminals participate in the virtual spaces and initiate communication with other user terminals having the same symbols.
