  By the conference material creation processing shown in FIG. 14, in the conference material of the reopened conference, the note writing on the conference material received from the presenter of the conference in the completed conference is reproduced.

<< Editing process >>
FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram of an example showing the flow of the editing process. Here, using FIG. 15, the client terminal 11A receives an operation such as page turning to a meeting material or notes from a meeting organizer or participant, and the client terminal 11B displays the shared information received from the meeting support server 10. Explain the flow of the process to be reflected in the meeting materials.

  The conference material operation accepting unit 48 of the client terminal 11A accepts an operation such as page sending for the conference material from the organizer or the participant of the conference. The memo accepting unit 49 accepts writing of notes on meeting materials from the organizer or the participant of the conference.

  The sharing determination unit 50 determines whether an operation on a meeting material, a memo or the like is shared information to be shared by the organizer or the participant of the meeting. For example, operations such as page turning by the presenter of the meeting are determined as shared information to be shared. The operations by participants other than the presenter are not judged as shared information to be shared.

  Also, when writing a note to the meeting material from the presenter of the meeting is a shared note, it is determined as shared information to be shared. When writing notes from the presenter of the meeting to the meeting material is a personal note, it is not judged as shared information to be shared. A note from a participant other than the presenter on the meeting material is not judged as shared information to be shared.

  If the sharing determination unit 50 determines that the information is shared information, the sharing determination unit 50 transmits the shared information to the conference support server 10. The sharing determination unit 50 reflects the operation such as page turning on the meeting material, the memorandum, etc. in the meeting material displayed by the meeting material display unit 47. That is, the conference material display unit 47 of the client terminal 11A reflects the operation such as page turning on the conference material received from the organizer or the participant of the conference, the memo and the like in the conference material and displays it.

  The shared information accepting unit 28 receives, from the client terminal 11A, shared information such as an operation on a conference material and a note. The shared information accepting unit 28 updates the display control information as necessary, if the shared information needs to be updated, such as page switching, to update the display control information. Further, the shared information accepting unit 28 stores the handwritten memo data in the storage unit 30 when the shared information is a shared memo.

  The shared information distribution unit 29 refers to the participants other than the presenter from the display control information, and transmits the shared information to the other client terminals 11B operated by the participants other than the presenter. Based on the shared information received from the conference support server 10, the shared information receiving unit 51 of the client terminal 11B reflects the operation on the conference material, the memo writing, and the like on the conference material displayed by the conference material display unit 47.

  For example, the client terminals 11A and 11B display the conference material received from the conference support server 10, for example, as shown in FIG. 16 before accepting an operation such as sending a page to the conference material or writing notes from the conference presenter or participant. . FIG. 16 is an image diagram of an example of a browsing screen on which the client terminal displays the conference material.

  The viewing screen 1030 in FIG. 16 has a switching button 1031 for switching between personal memos and shared memos, a request button 1032 for requesting a change of a presenter, and a display field 1033 for displaying meeting materials. The presenter of the meeting can perform an operation such as sending a page to the meeting material on the viewing screen 1030 and write a personal note or a shared note. In addition, participants other than the presenter of the conference can also write personal notes on the meeting material on the viewing screen 1030.

  In addition, after the client terminal 11A receives a note for the conference material from the presenter or participant of the conference, the client terminal 11A displays the conference material as shown in FIG. 17, for example. FIG. 17 is an image diagram of another example of the browsing screen on which the client terminal displays the conference material. In the browsing screen 1040 of FIG. 17, a memo note 1044 is added to the meeting material of the browsing screen 1030 of FIG.

  If the memorandum 1044 is a shared memo, the client terminal 11A transmits shared information corresponding to the memorandum 1044 to the conference support server 10. The client terminal 11B can display the conference material including the memo note 1044 as shown in FIG. 17 by receiving the shared information according to the memo note 1044 from the conference support server 10, as in the client terminal 11A.

  FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram of an example for explaining storage of meeting materials and memos. The personal memo is stored in the client terminal 11. The meeting support server 10 stores and manages the shared memo. The meeting support server 10 stores and manages the meeting material and the shared memo as separate data.

  When the meeting is to be held again, the meeting support server 10 transmits the meeting material and the shared memo to the client terminal 11. A format defined by InkML is used to transmit the shared memo. InkML describes handwritten data as XML data, and a recommended specification is recommended by W3C.

  When the client terminal 11 re-holds the conference, the conference material on which the personal memo and the shared memo have been added (displayed in a superimposed manner) from the beginning is displayed. In the electronic conference system 1 according to the present embodiment, the conference support server 10 stores and manages the conference material and the shared memo as separate data, and therefore, a process of deleting or rewriting the shared memo added in the previous holding Becomes easy.

  FIG. 19 is a block diagram of an example of handwritten memo data. The handwritten memo data includes a material ID, an X coordinate value, a Y coordinate value, a line ID, a page number, and the like. The handwritten memo data is managed by the storage unit 30 with each point as one record. The point where the line ID is the same indicates that it is a continuous line. For example, in personal memos and shared memos, for example, when a line 1044 of a memorandum written by selecting a pen 1045 on the browsing screen 1040 and a line drawn by selecting an eraser 1046 intersect, a series of intersecting lines 1044 is deleted. The handwritten memo data is linked to the meeting material by the material ID.

  When the conference material is displayed on the viewing screen 1040, the conference support server 10 reads the handwritten memo data linked to the material ID of the conference material from the storage unit 30, and transmits the handwritten memo data to the client terminal 11 together with the conference material. Then, the client terminal 11 can display the conference material to which the shared memo has been added.

  By the editing process shown in FIG. 15, the electronic conference system 1 according to the present embodiment shares the meeting material with the client terminal 11 of the presenter or the participant, and the presenter performs, for example, the meeting material on the screen of the client terminal 11. By performing the page turning operation, the page of the meeting material is synchronously paged even on the screen of the client terminal 11 of the participant, and the shared memo added by the presenter on the screen of the client terminal 11 is added. The shared memo is also displayed synchronously on the screen of the client terminal 11 of the participant.

  Here, the sharing determination process performed by the sharing determination unit 50 will be further described. FIG. 20 is a flowchart of an example of the sharing determination process.

  In step S11, the sharing determination unit 50 repeats the process of step S11 until there is an operation such as page turning on the meeting material or an action of the user such as a note. If there is a user action, the process proceeds to step S12, and the sharing determination unit 50 determines whether or not the presenter.

  If it is a presenter, the sharing determination unit 50 proceeds to step S13, and determines whether the action of the user is a personal memo. If it is not a personal memo, in other words, if it is an operation such as a shared memo or page feed, the share determination unit 50 proceeds to step S14, determines the content of the user's action as share information, and transmits it to the conference support server 10. In step S16, the sharing determination unit 50 reflects the action from the user on the display of the own device.

  When it is not a presenter at step S12 or it is a personal memo at step S13, the sharing determination unit 50 determines that there is no sharing at step S15. After the process of step S15, the process proceeds to step S16, where the sharing determination unit 50 reflects the action from the user on the display of the own device.

  By the sharing determination process shown in FIG. 20, the action from the user who should be shared by the organizer or the participant of the meeting is determined as the shared information.

<Summary>
Since the electronic conference system 1 of the present embodiment enables reopening of the conference, for example, one conference information may be registered even in a conference where proceedings continue. In addition, since the electronic conference system 1 according to the present embodiment enables reopening of the meeting based on the meeting information of the ended meeting, the meeting material to which the memo or the like is added in the ended meeting can easily be added in the reheld meeting. Available.
