Abstract:
[Problem] To provide an audio communication system wherein a relaying device is connected to terminal devices, which are communication devices, via a communication network and wherein the relaying device is caused to manage the group of the terminal devices. [Solution] An audio communication system comprises: a master relaying device; one or more slave relaying devices connected to the master relaying device via a communication network; and one or more terminal devices connected to each relaying device via a communication network. Each slave relaying device transfers, to the master relaying device, audio signals received from the terminal device in charge of the slave relaying device. The master relaying device transfers the audio signals, which were received from each slave relaying device, to the slave relaying devices other than that slave relaying device.

Claim (Index 2):
An audio communication system, comprising:\n a plurality of relaying devices; and a plurality of terminal devices, wherein the relaying devices control a group communication which is communication with terminal devices belonging to a group, one of the plurality of relaying devices functions as a master relaying device, and the other of the plurality of relaying devices functions as a slave relaying device, each of the relaying device comprises\n a network communication unit connected to a communication network and communicating with the terminal devices and another relaying device over the communication network, and \n a table for storing a transfer destination of an audio signal of the group communication, \n the master relaying device stores a master-subordinate-group terminal device and a slave-group relaying device as the transfer destination in the table, master-subordinate-group terminal devices being both belonging to the group and subordinate to the master relaying device, the slave-group relaying device being the slave relaying device communicating slave-subordinate-group terminal devices, the slave-subordinate-group terminal devices being both belonging to the group and subordinate to the slave-group relaying device; the master relaying device transfers an audio signal of the group communication received form the master-subordinate-group terminal device to other master-subordinate-group terminal device and the slave-group relaying device, and\n transfers an audio signal of the group communication received from the slave-group relaying device to the other slave-group relaying device and the master-subordinate-group terminal device, \n the slave relaying device stores a slave-subordinate-group terminal devices and the master relaying device as the transfer destination in the table, the slave relaying device transfers an audio signal of the group communication received from the slave-subordinate-group terminal device to other slave-subordinate-group terminal device and the master relaying device, and\n transfers an audio signal of the group communication received from the master relaying device to the slave-subordinate-group terminal device.
