Abstract

In a situation where a plurality of “telephone numbers” as subscriber numbers and “fixed IDs” fixedly assigned to the “telephone numbers” in association with each other are stored and managed in a telephone number table, in a case where an arbitrary site is accessed using one of the “fixed IDs” as information on an accessing party, when registration of an “URL” of this site in a favorites table is instructed, a CPU registers one of the “fixed IDs”, which is stored and managed in the telephone number table, in association with the “URL”. When an access to the registered site is instructed thereafter, the CPU accesses the site using the “URL” associated with the registered site and the “fixed ID”.
