Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a connection control device includes a request acceptor to accept a connection destination determination request transmitted from a first communication device; and a determiner to determine a server being a connection destination of the first communication device from among a plurality of servers. At least one first server among the servers is scheduled to stop running at a first time point. The determiner determines the connection destination of the first communication device in accordance with a number of communication devices connected to each of the servers, based on history information on connection durations by the first communication device with the servers or history information on connection durations by communication devices with the first server, so that a number of the communication devices connected to the first server before the first time point arrives is suppressed.

Claim (Index 10):
A connection control system comprising a first communication device, a first control device that remotely controls the first communication device, and a connection control device, wherein\n the connection control device comprises: a first circuit to transmit an acquiring request of state information to a plurality of relay servers including a temporary server and a normal server via a network and receive the state information transmitted from the relay servers wherein the temporary server has a scheduled stop time point and a scheduled start time point set therein and stops running at the scheduled stop time point and restarts the running at the scheduled start time point and the normal server continues running without stopping, the plurality of relay servers are configured to connect between control devices and communication devices controlled by the control devices, a second circuit to receive a connection destination determination request transmitted from the first communication device which is not connected to any relay server yet via the network; and a third circuit to select a relay server to be connected by the first communication device from among the plurality of relay servers based on the state information, the third circuit determines whether a time period until the scheduled stop time point of the temporary server is reached is longer than a predetermined length of time period, and when the time period is longer than the predetermined length of time period, selects a relay server so that load is equally distributed between the temporary server and the normal server, the second circuit transmits address information of the relay server selected by the third circuit to the first communication device via the network, the address information being required for the first communication device to connect to the selected relay server, the first communication device transmits the connection destination determination request to the connection control device, receives the address information of the selected relay device and connects to the relay server identified by the address information by transmitting a connection request, the first control device transmits a connection destination determination request containing information specifying the first communication device to the connection control device, the third circuit of the connection control device determines connection destination of the first control device by selecting same relay server as the relay server selected for the first communication device, and the second circuit transmits address information of the relay server determined by the third circuit to the first control device via the network, the address information being required for the first control device to connect to the determined relay server, and the first control device connects to the relay server identified by the address information received from the connection control device by transmitting a connection request.
