A server collects network administration information of terminals connected to the self-segment, assembles the collected network administration information into packets, and transfers the packets to other segments. The server stores the relationship, as a table, between the low-level layer address of each terminal connected to a corresponding segment and the corresponding high-level layer address on the basis of the collected network administration information and the network administration information included in packets transferred from other segments, and performs packet transfer between terminals through the segments by looking up this table.

摘要:
A communication equipment automatically interchanges business card information and displays such information on a display, thus making operation by a user for interchanging business card information unnecessary. The communication equipment includes a business card memory, a business card information display, a business card information reception function, a business card information transmission function, a communication equipment detection function, a network transmission/reception function, a storage device, a display and a mouse. When the communication equipment function detection function finds communicable equipment, the communication equipment displays a list of the communicable equipment. The user then starts communication with the desired counterpart. The business card information is automatically interchanged allowing direct input of the business card information to the equipment.
摘要:
A communication network construction method comprises the steps of grouping the communication devices belonging to a communication network into one or a plurality of communication groups. In a selection step, one or a plurality of representative devices are selected in each communication group formed in the grouping step. In a communication step, each communication device communicates directly with the communication devices belonging to the same group, and communicates with the communication devices belonging to a different group by first transmitting data to the representative device of the same communication group and then causing the representative device to transfer a part or the whole of the data to the representative device of the different communication group.
