Zusammenfassung:	In a chat system 1, chat servers 18a, 18b, 18c, ··· are disposed in a distributed fashion in different regions. A client terminal 10a issues an opening request for opening a chat room in response to a user's action. A gateway 12 acquires the region of the client terminal 10a as a request source from the opening request signal. A relay point allocation server 14 selects an appropriate chat server 18a or a region thereof from the standpoint of regions and communication speeds, and requests the chat server to open a chat room. The chat server 18a relays chat data among the client terminals 10a, 10b, and 10c.
