A control system includes a session controller to control establishing a session for transmitting information between a communications terminal and other communications terminals, in response to a request from the communications terminal, and a start request receiver to receive, after a first session for transmitting information between a first communications terminal and a second communications terminal and a second session for transmitting information between a third communications terminal and a fourth communications terminal have been established, a communications start request for starting communications between the first communications terminal and the fourth communications terminal. When the start request receiver receives the communications start request, the session controller decouples the first session and the second session, and establishes a session for transmitting information between the second communication terminal and the third communications terminal and a session for transmitting information between the first communication terminal and the fourth communications terminal.

Control system, communications terminal, communications system, control method, and recording medium

A terminal is disclosed including a receiving unit receiving list data specifying destination terminals with which the terminal initiates communications and status data representing statuses of the destination terminals; a creation unit creating a list to display identifiers of the destination terminals using the data, wherein a sequence in which the identifiers are arranged in the list is updated; and a display unit displaying the list including identifiers of the destination terminals and a cursor to select the identifier; wherein the display unit selects one of modes depending on whether one of the identifiers at a position is pointed to by the cursor in response to a user operation, and in one mode, the display unit maintains the cursor at the position despite a change in a position of the selected identifier resulting from the update, and in another mode, the display unit moves the cursor to a new position.

Information processing terminal, information processing method, and program

A communication server includes a terminal management unit managing data identifying each of a plurality of communication terminals in association with group identification data identifying a group to which the communication terminals belong; a determination unit determining, when a session for transmitting and receiving content data is established between first and second communication terminals, whether group identification information sets of the first and the second communication terminals associated with the session are the same as each other based on the group identification data; and a report unit reporting, when the group identification information sets of the first and the second communication terminals are the same as each other, shared location information indicating a location of a shared memory area shared between the first and the second communication terminals to the first and the second communication terminals associated with the session while the session is being established.

Communication server, communication system, program, and communication method

A transmission management system for controlling data transmission between a first transmitting terminal and a second transmitting terminal is provided. The transmission management system includes a receiving unit that receives location information about the second transmitting terminal; and a transmitting unit that transmits first presence information about the first transmitting terminal to the second transmitting terminal depending on first location information about the second transmitting terminal received by the receiving unit, and transmits second presence information about the first transmitting terminal to the second transmitting terminal depending on second location information about the second transmitting terminal received by the receiving unit.

Transmission management system, transmission system, transmission management method, and storage medium

An information processing apparatus is communicably connectable to a first transmission terminal, which is communicably connected with a second transmission terminal via a network. The information processing apparatus includes an aspect ratio change unit that transforms a shape of a display region in a screen which is displayed on a display unit so that an aspect ratio of the display region is changed to a predetermined value, the display unit being integrated with the information processing apparatus or being connected to the information processing apparatus; an acquisition unit that acquires display data displayed in the display region, an aspect ratio of the display region having been changed to the predetermined value by the aspect ratio change unit; and a data transmission unit that transmits the display data displayed in the display region acquired by the acquisition unit to the first transmission terminal.

Information processing apparatus, information processing system and information processing method

A transmission system includes a transmission management system including: a first receiving unit that receives user identification information from transmission terminals; a user identification information management unit that stores user identification information in association with transmission terminal identification information of transmission terminals serving as transmission sources of the user identification information in the first storage unit; a first extracting unit that refers to, when the first receiving unit receives request for presentation from a certain transmission terminal, the first storage unit and extracts transmission terminal identification information of transmission terminals in transmission and user identification information associated with the transmission terminal identification information; and a second transmitting unit that transmits the extracted transmission terminal identification information and the extracted user identification information in association with each other to the transmission terminal serving as the transmission source of the request for presentation.

Transmission system

A communication server includes a checking unit that checks a terminal management table, a determination unit that determines whether group identification information of a first terminal of a plurality of terminals participating in a videoconference is a same as group identification of a second terminal of the plurality of terminals based on group identification data from the terminal management table, an updating unit that updates a shared location table including shared location information indicating a location of a shared memory area shared by the same group when the group identification information of each of the first and second terminals is determined as being the same, a memory access information creation unit that creates memory access information for accessing the shared memory area, and a notification unit that sends a notification of the shared location information and the memory access information to the same group.

Communication server, communication system, and communication method
