Claim:
1. A transmission management apparatus for managing a session performing transmission/reception of content data via a relay apparatus, the transmission management apparatus comprising: service information management processing circuitry configured to manage service management information in which service identification information identifying service content provided to each of a plurality of transmission terminals, and service content corresponding to the service identification information are stored preliminarily; service identification information acquisition processing circuitry configured to acquire service identification information of each of the transmission terminals participating in the session; service content determination processing circuitry configured to determine the service content of the session, based on the service identification information acquired by the service identification information acquisition processing circuitry and the service management information, the service content determination processing circuitry being further configured to determine the quality of the content data from qualities of the content data that the plurality of transmission terminals can commonly use; and session control processing circuitry configured to report session information based on the service content of the session determined by the service content determination processing circuitry to the relay apparatus, the session information including information specifying the quality of the content data which the relay apparatus transfers to each of the transmission terminals participating in the session.
