摘要：A communication management apparatus is provided which includes: a start request acceptance unit configured to accept a request to start a program from a terminal; a query unit configured to query the program whether communication with the terminal is available upon acceptance of the start request; and a response transmission unit configured to transmit to the terminal, in response to the start request therefrom, a message indicating whether communication is available between the program and the terminal as a result of the query about the availability of communication therebetween.

主权项：1. A communication management apparatus comprising: a communication management program configured to generate a communication management process executable by an information processing apparatus, wherein said communication management process accepts a request to start a program from a terminal, and, upon receiving said request, queries the program as to whether communication is available with the terminal, wherein said program notifies said communication management process: as to whether communication with the terminal is available, and if so, the port number of the information processing apparatus through which said terminal can transmit information to the program, wherein upon receiving notification that communication with the terminal is available, said communication management process transmits a two-part message to the terminal indicating: that communication with the program is available, and identifying said target port number, wherein upon receiving notification that communication is not available, said communication management process transmits a message to the terminal indicating that communication with the program is not available, and wherein in response to said two-part message said terminal transmits a process execution request comprising a request to display a subtitled moving image to the program via said port number thereby causing the program to execute said process, wherein the communication management program includes a start process that starts the program, if the program for which the start request has been accepted, has yet to be started, said communication management process queries the program started by the start process whether communication is available with the terminal, and, upon start of the program, if a display apparatus to which an image generated by execution of the program is output remains switched off, the start process turns on power to the display apparatus, and wherein said program comprises a moving image reproduction process, wherein when said program receives said request to display a subtitled moving image, said moving image reproduction process accesses a moving image URL related to said request to obtain the moving image, and also accesses a separate subtitle URL related to said request to acquire the subtitle data.
