Communication control apparatus is provided for implementing a call
relay service that makes it possible to construct and utilize a call relay network
easily and reliably without relying upon special devices and a call relay list.
A related communication control method provides a group composed of prescribed
members with a call relay service having a communication control step. In accordance
with this step, when a request to initiate the call relay service is received from
an initiating member who is any member belonging to the group, control is exercised
to cyclically connect a line between the members of the group, in an order starting
from the initiating member.
