When a plurality of communication terminals with different communication procedures coexist in a communication network, the communication network side conventionally does not know what kind of communication procedure each communication terminal has. In both cases, the communication network does not know how to handle the communication in the case of an incoming call, and therefore it may be impossible to make or receive a call to or from the communication terminal.
Particularly in a mobile communication terminal, in the destination communication network, if the communication network does not know the communication procedure of the mobile communication terminal, it may be impossible to make or receive a call to or from the mobile communication terminal.

As shown in A, the communication terminal 13 1 sends its own terminal identifier and terminal type to the exchange 12 to make a terminal type request.
Upon receiving this, the exchange 12 specifies the database 15 from the terminal identifier, sends the terminal identifier and the terminal type to the database, and makes a registration request. Upon receipt of this registration request, the database 15 specifies the occupied area of the terminal identifier and registers the terminal type. If there is one database 15 in the communication network 11, the database 15
Need not be specified. Further, in the case of mobile communication, when the mobile communication terminal 13 performs the area registration, the terminal type may be transmitted together with an identifier indicating the area in which the area is located, so that the terminal type is automatically registered. .
