Abstract
A buddy list manager stores a buddy list sent from a receiver terminal and manages the buddy list. A controller accepts an updating request and identifying information of a third party terminal from the third party terminal. When the controller accepts the updating request and the identifying information from the third party terminal, the controller determines whether the third party has an updating authority for updating the buddy list or not, using the identifying information. If the controller judges that the third party has an updating authority for updating the buddy list, then the controller permits the third party terminal to update the buddy list.
