Abstract: A processor associates with one another terminal identifiers for identifying terminals. Each terminal identifier includes a to-be-authenticated section common to the terminal identifiers and used to authenticate a user. The processor associates the terminal identifiers with one another as respective terminal identifiers for a communication source and a communication destination that can perform communication with the communication source. Upon receiving from a first terminal as a communication source a first terminal identifier for identifying the first terminal and a second terminal identifier for identifying a second terminal as a communication destination, the processor transmits a request to the second terminal to start communication with the first terminal for a case where the first and second terminal identifiers are associated with one another. Otherwise the processor does not transmit a request to the second terminal to start communication with the first terminal.
