Abstract

A communication line control system and a communication line control method have an architecture, in which if a plurality of calls that should be processed simultaneously occur in one communication terminal incorporating communication functions containing voice communications and data communications and accommodating a plurality of communication lines, a distributed control module utilizing the plurality of communication lines on this communication terminal processes only a specified call among the plurality of calls on the basis of condition data preset in a line control unit without being aware of the plurality of communication lines. With this architecture, it is feasible to enhance a general-purposed characteristic and a simplicity of creation of the software (distributed control module) for controlling the plurality of communication lines, reduce a load thereof and improve its usability.
