<Processing>
FIG. 5B is a flow chart showing an example of the flow of processing executed by each device in this embodiment.
When the call processing ends (S120), the control unit 11 of the server 10 calculates the time interval between the call end time in the previous call processing and the call end time in the current call processing as an example, not limitation. Then, it is determined whether or not the time interval between calls is shorter than a set time ("60 minutes" as an example, not as a limitation) (S510). Note that the control unit 11 of the server 10 may or may not determine whether the time interval between calls is within the set time.

If it is determined that the time interval between calls is shorter than the set time (S510: YES), the control unit 11 of the server 10 transmits simplified call processing result information obtained by simplifying the call processing result information in the previous call processing. /F14 to transmit to the terminal 20B of the call destination account and the terminal 20A of the call source account (S520). Abbreviated call processing result information includes, by way of example and not limitation, call status information.

If it is determined that the time interval between calls is equal to or longer than the set time (S510: NO), the control unit 11 of the server 10 skips step S520.

After transmitting the call processing result information (S130), the control unit 11 of the server 10 determines whether or not to terminate the processing (S530). In the case of ending the process, as an example, not a limitation, there is a case where the terminal 20 in the talk room selects to end the process. If it is determined to end the process (S530: YES), the control unit 11 of the server 10 ends the process. Otherwise (S530: NO), the control unit 11 of the server 10 returns the process to step S110 as an example and not as a limitation.

When it is determined that the simple call processing result information has been received from the server 10 by the communication I/F 22 (A510: YES), the control unit 21 of the terminal 20A receives the simple call processing result information as a non-limiting example, The call processing result information corresponding to the previous call is overwritten and displayed on the display unit 24 (A520).
When it is determined that the simple call processing result information is not received (A520: NO), the control section 21 of the terminal 20A skips step A520.

When the call processing result information is displayed (A150), the control unit 21 of the terminal 20A determines whether or not to terminate the processing (A530). When terminating the process, as a non-limiting example, termination of the messaging application is selected based on an input to the input/output unit 23 of the terminal 20A. If it is determined to end the process (A530: YES), the control unit 21 of the terminal 20A ends the process. Otherwise (A530: NO), the control unit 21 of the terminal 20A returns the process to step A110 as an example and not as a limitation.

The same applies to the terminal 20B.

In this flowchart, an example is shown in which the latest call processing result information always includes the call notification sound information, but the present invention is not limited to this. If it is determined that the time interval between calls is shorter than the set time (S510: YES), the control unit 11 of the server 10 transmits simplified call processing result information obtained by simplifying the call processing result information in the current call processing. /F14 may be used to transmit to the terminal 20B of the call destination account and the terminal 20A of the call source account. In this case, the control unit 11 of the server 10 skips step S130. Further, the control unit 21 of the terminal 20A causes the display unit 24 to display the received simple call processing result information as the call processing result information for the current call as an example and not as a limitation.

<Effect of the fifth embodiment>
The embodiment displays in the chat room at least first call information associated with a first call between the user and the first user and second call information associated with at least a second call between the user and the first user. The control by the control unit is executed by the terminal, and the first call information and the second call information are the first call information and the second call information when the time interval based on the first call and the second call is shorter than the set interval. When sound information is included in any one of the call information and the second call information, and the time interval based on the first call and the second call is longer than the set interval, the first call information and the second call information 2 shows a configuration in which sound information is included in call information.
As an example of the effect of the embodiment obtained by such a configuration, when the time interval based on the first call and the second call is shorter than the set interval, the first call information and the second call information By including the sound information in any one of them, the user of the terminal can be informed of the sound information related to any one of the first call and the second call. In other words, as an example and not as a limitation, if two calls are made within a short period of time (if calls are made frequently), display of sound information for one of the calls is omitted. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the user of the terminal from feeling annoyed.
On the other hand, if the time interval based on the first call and the second call is longer than the set interval, the sound information is included in the first call information and the second call information. Sound information associated with both the call and the second call can be communicated to the user of the terminal. In other words, as an example and not a limitation, if two calls are made with a certain amount of time between them, unlike the above, the display of the sound information can be prevented from being omitted.
