Abstract

A communication terminal apparatus includes a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory, configured to when an incoming-call notice is received, determine whether or not, among calls that have been initiated and that have failed to be answered, a call for which a number of a call reception destination matches a number of a call initiation source included in the incoming-call notice and for which a time related to initiation of the call and a time related to the incoming-call notice have a given relationship therebetween has been initiated, and when the call has been initiated, cause the communication terminal apparatus or a communication terminal apparatus that is the call reception destination to output information indicating suppression of initiation of a call.

Claims (34)

1. A communication terminal apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:

when an incoming-call notice is received, determine whether or not a number of the call initiation source matches a number of a call reception destination among calls that have been initiated and that have failed to be answered when a time related to initiation of the call and a time related to the incoming-call notice have a given relationship therebetween, and

when the call has been initiated, cause the communication terminal apparatus or a communication terminal apparatus that is the call reception destination to output information indicating suppression of initiation of a call.

2. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to transmit the information indicating suppression of initiation of a call to a communication terminal apparatus that is the call reception destination, and

automatically initiate a call to the call reception destination when the information is transmitted.

3. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

display, on a display of the communication terminal apparatus, the information indicating suppression of initiation of a call, and

transmit, to a communication terminal apparatus that is the call reception destination, information prompting the communication terminal apparatus that is the call reception destination to initiate a call to the communication terminal apparatus.

4. The communication terminal apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein, based on comparison between the number of the call initiation source included in the incoming-call notice and the number of the communication terminal apparatus, the processor is configured to select the communication terminal apparatus or a communication terminal apparatus that is the call reception destination as a destination to output the information indicating suppression of initiation of a call.

5. A call-initiation suppression method for a communication terminal apparatus, the method comprising:

determining, when an incoming-call notice is received, whether or not a number of the call initiation source matches a number of a call reception destination among calls that have been initiated and that have failed to be answered; and

causing, when the call has been initiated, the communication terminal apparatus or a communication terminal apparatus that is the call reception destination to output information indicating suppression of initiation of a call.

6. The call-initiation suppression method according to claim 5 ,

wherein, the information indicating suppression of initiation of a call is transmitted to a communication terminal apparatus that is the call reception destination, and

wherein the call-initiation suppression method further comprises automatically initiating a call to the call reception destination from the communication terminal apparatus when the information is transmitted.

7. The call-initiation suppression method according to claim 5 ,

wherein the information indicating suppression of initiation of a call is displayed on a display of the communication terminal apparatus, and information prompting a communication terminal apparatus that is the call reception destination to initiate a call to the communication terminal apparatus is transmitted to the communication terminal apparatus that is the call reception destination.

8. The call-initiation suppression method according to claim 5 ,

Wherein-based on comparison between the number of the call initiation source included in the incoming-call notice and the number of the communication terminal apparatus, the communication terminal apparatus or a communication terminal apparatus that is the call reception destination is selected as a destination to which the information indicating suppression of initiation of a call is output.

9. A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor of a communication terminal apparatus to perform operations comprising:

determining, when an incoming-call notice is received, whether or not a number of the call initiation source matches a number of a call reception destination among calls that have been initiated and that have failed to be answered when a time related to initiation of the call and a time related to the incoming-call notice have a given relationship therebetween; and

causing, when the call has been initiated, the communication terminal apparatus or a communication terminal apparatus that is the call reception destination to output information indicating suppression of initiation of a call.

10. The non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program according to claim 9 ,

Wherein the information indicating suppression of initiation of a call is transmitted to a communication terminal apparatus that is the call reception destination, and

wherein the program further comprises automatically initiating a call to the call reception destination when the information is transmitted.

11. The non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program according to claim 9 ,

Wherein the information indicating suppression of initiation of a call is displayed on a display of the communication terminal apparatus, and information prompting a communication terminal apparatus that is the call reception destination to initiate a call to the communication terminal apparatus is transmitted to the communication terminal apparatus that is the call reception destination.

12. The non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program according to claim 9 ,

Wherein based on comparison between the number of the call initiation source included in the incoming-call notice and the number of the communication terminal apparatus, the communication terminal apparatus or a communication terminal apparatus that is the call reception destination is selected as a destination to which the information indicating suppression of initiation of a call is output.
