Abstract:
1. A transmission management system which, when a plurality of transmission terminals perform communication concerning transmission and reception of content data via a relay apparatus, selects a relay apparatus from among a plurality of relay apparatuses that relay the communication and carries out control for causing the plurality of transmission terminals to perform the communication via the selected relay apparatus, the transmission management system comprising: a memory that stores, for the respective transmission terminals, first attributes that indicate attributes concerning networks that the transmission terminals are connected to and are managed for respective companies, and second attributes that indicate attributes concerning geographical areas where the transmission terminals are connected to a network; and a processing circuit that selects the relay apparatus identified by the second attributes from among the plurality of relay apparatuses when the relay apparatuses identified by the respective first attributes of the first and second transmission terminals stored by the memory are not the same but the relay apparatuses identified by the respective second attributes of the first and second transmission terminals stored by the memory are the same, wherein the transmission management system performs control for causing the first transmission terminal that is a request source of the request for starting communication and the second transmission terminal that is a request target of the request for starting communication to communicate with one another via the selected relay apparatus.
