Abstract

Selon l'invention, un appareil de gestion de communication (110) gère la connexion d'un appareil terminal de communication (120) à une ligne de communication (130). Un élément de détermination (111) détermine, en fonction de l'état de paiement relatif à la facturation de la connexion établie par l'appareil terminal de communication (120) sur la ligne de communication (130), si la connexion établie par l'appareil terminal de communication (120) sur la ligne de communication (130) doit être autorisée ou non. Un élément de génération (112) génère, en fonction d'un résultat de détermination déterminé par l'élément de détermination (111), des informations de commande pour commander la fonction de communication de l'appareil terminal de communication (120). Un élément de transmission (113) transmet les informations de commande générées par l'élément de génération (112) à l'appareil terminal de communication (120).
