Abstract

In response to an instruction by a user, or by performing reception, detection and assumption processing, the presence state of the user is determined, and corresponding presence mode conversion data are acquired and are set as user presence data. When the presence mode conversion data are referred to, and processing that corresponds to the user's presence state is performed: when the user is present, urgent mail is transmitted, and when the user is absent, a message for the user is accepted.
