Abstract
The resource controlling unit controls a resource usage state. The receiving unit receives from a first terminal a first message containing a first condition for maintaining a connection that is used to transfer a message exchanged between the first terminal and the second terminal. Based on the first condition contained in the received first message and the resource usage state, the determining unit determines a second condition that is to be accepted for maintaining the connection. The adding unit adds the second condition to the first message. The transmitting unit transmits the first message to which the second condition is added to an external device or the second terminal. The maintaining unit maintains the connection under the second condition.
