COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, ADMINISTRATIVE SERVER, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR

To provide a communication system which makes a real-time communication possible with a feeling that a party at a distant place is located just near by.SOLUTION: The present invention relates to a communication system configured by including a plurality of terminals and an administrative server. Each of the plurality of terminals comprises: receive means for receiving an uttered speech; first transmitting means for transmitting voice data based on the uttered speech to the administrative server; and output means for outputting the voice data received from the administrative server. The administrative server comprises: receiving means for receiving voice data from a first terminal among the plurality of terminals; first analysis means for identifying a second terminal which becomes a connection destination among the plurality of terminals, on the basis of the voice data; connection means which establishes a connection for performing speech communication within a group including the first terminal and the second terminal; and second transmitting means for transmitting the voice data which are received from the first terminal, to the second terminal.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】遠隔地にいる相手がすぐそばにいるような感覚でのリアルタイムのコミュニケーションが可能なコミュニケーションシステムを提供する。【解決手段】複数の端末と、管理サーバとを含んで構成されるコミュニケーションシステムであって、前記複数の端末それぞれは、発話を受け付ける受付手段と、前記発話に基づく音声データを前記管理サーバに送信する第１の送信手段と、前記管理サーバから受信した音声データを出力する出力手段とを有し、前記管理サーバは、前記複数の端末のうちの第１の端末から音声データを受信する受信手段と、前記音声データに基づいて、前記複数の端末のうちの接続先となる第２の端末を特定する第１の解析手段と、前記第１の端末と前記第２の端末とを含むグループ内において通話を行うための接続を確立する接続手段と、前記第２の端末に対して、前記第１の端末から受信した音声データを送信する第２の送信手段とを有する。【選択図】図１
