Then, a registration request is generated and sent to the main device 16 (REGIST_REQ 132). The main device 16 generates an error message based on the validity of this request and the judgment of the processing timeout in the main device 16. The main device 16 outputs the error message 238 generated at time T12A to the registration function unit 66 (E_MESSAGE 238). As a result, the registration function unit 66 determines that the registration request has failed because the registration completion (200 OK) cannot be obtained within a predetermined time after generating and transmitting the registration request. The registration function unit 66 determines that the registration request has failed at time 14B, and notifies the presence client function unit 224 of failure 240 (FAILURE 240). Presence client function unit 224 registers presence information “telephone number“ 1 ”, status information“ offline ”” including presence telephone number which softphone communication function unit 62 tried to register in presence server function unit 222 at time T88A. (REGISTER 242). The presence server function unit 222 registers and holds the presence information “telephone number“ 1 ”, status information“ offline ”” from the presence client function unit 224.

  Further, since the presence client function unit 224 can periodically request presence information as in the case of the above-described success, the presence client function unit 224 sends the presence information “telephone number“ 1 ”” to the presence server function unit. Request to 222 (SUBSCRIBE 234).

  When the presence server function unit 222 is requested by the presence client function unit 224 for the presence information “phone number“ 1 ”” (SUBSCRIBE), the presence server function unit 222 refers to / searches the held presence information by the phone number “1” and finds the corresponding presence information. The information “telephone number“ 1 ”, status information“ offline ”” is taken out and notified to the presence client function unit 224 that requested the presence information (NOTIFY 236).

  The presence client function unit 224, based on the notification (NOTIFY 236) of the presence information “phone number“ 1 ”and status information“ offline ”” supplied from the presence server function unit 222, calls the presence information phone number “1”. Check if "is available and up-to-date."

  In this case, the presence client function unit 224 has confirmed that the telephone number “1” of the requested presence information cannot be used “offline”, so the presence client function unit 224 is added by the setting function unit 70. The context menu information "telephone number" held by the information holding function unit 74 and the data of the telephone number "1" in the associated memory 44 are deleted and the holding is not continued.

  At this time, the information holding function unit 74 uses "Undo", "Cut", "Copy", "Paste", "Delete", "Select All", "Read from right to left", "Unicode control characters". It holds context menu information related to "Display", "Unicode control character insertion", "Open IME" and "Retranslate".

  In this way, the user can realize the context menu 98 in the information terminal device 10 to appropriately select the telephone number that has been confirmed as the latest available.
