A communication method controlling system includes a control apparatus and a writing apparatus. The writing apparatus includes a function that employs plural communication methods. When a user selects content by manipulating an operation terminal, a control apparatus detects the content ID, and transmits corresponding content data and communication method information to the writing apparatus. Based on the received content data, the writing apparatus writes the contents data and displays a content image on electronic paper, and changes a communication method according to the received communication method information and uses an LED lamp, for example, to notify the user which communication method has been selected. When the user performs an operation according to the available communication method, information is transmitted from the writing apparatus to a port using the communication method.

Communication method control system

A conference terminal apparatus is used by a speaker of an electronic conference for transmitting image information displayed on a screen and causing a remote conference terminal apparatus used by an audience to display the image information on a remote screen. In the conference terminal apparatus, a screen control part displays a plurality of image information items on the screen. A priority allocation part allocates to each of the displayed image information items priority for being displayed on the remote screen. An information transmission processing part transmits to the remote conference terminal apparatus the displayed image information items and the priority allocated to each of the image information items.

Conference terminal apparatus in electronic conference system, electronic conference system, and display image control method

There is provided an information terminal device in an electronic conference system, including a reception unit that receives information on a state of attendance of participants in a conference, who are present in a plurality of conference holding spaces; a disadvantageous degree calculation processor that calculates a disadvantageous degree indicating a degree of disadvantage which each participant has when participating in the conference, based on the received information; and a disadvantageous degree output processor that outputs the calculated disadvantageous degree.

Electronic conference assistance method, and information terminal device in electronic conference system

There is provided an electronic conference system, including a display controller that arranges and displays a marker for specifying a display position on a display screen of a display apparatus which placed in a conference room, a unit that obtains information concerning the display position of each marker included in an image capturing range obtained by capturing an image of a portion of the display screen by a conference participant using an information terminal device and that specifies an image capturing region on the display screen based on the information concerning the display position of each marker that is obtained, and a unit that combines image data displayed on the display apparatus at the time of image capturing performed using the information terminal device having an image capturing function with display data, to be displayed in the image capturing region that is specified, to generate a screen image.

Electronic conference system, electronic conference controller, information terminal device, and electronic conference support method

An electronic conference support device has a cut screen information management section that stores information related to a cut screen object which forms a portion of a screen image displayed on a presenter-side display unit; a screen image generation processor that generates a screen image based on stored information related to a cut screen object designated from among cut screen objects contained in a screen image displayed on a participant-side display unit, by incorporating the designated cut screen object into image data to be newly displayed on the participant-side display unit; and an edit screen information storage unit that stores, in association with each other, information related to the generated screen image and information related to the cut screen object incorporated into the screen image.

Electronic conference support device, electronic conference support method, and information terminal device of electronic conference system

An electronic conference control device has a display controller that controls display of common screen images commonly displayed on display devices, local screen images displayed only on a connected one of the display devices, cut screen images generated by extracting a screen image portion contained in a closed space having a region designated by a user on a screen image displayed on the connected one of the display devices, and common cut screen images commonly displayed on the display devices on the connected one of the display devices, and a screen-dividing processor that, upon selection of one or multiple common cut screen images from among common cut screen images contained in a common screen image displayed on the screen and input of an instruction to start a local discussion at the site, to thereby manage the selected common cut screen image also as a local cut screen image.

Electronic conference control device, electronic conference assistance method, storage medium, and computer data signal

A scanned-document management system includes a first user identification information reading unit that acquires identification information of a user who operates a document reading unit. An attribute information generating unit acquires information of a user identified by the user identification information and generates attribute information based on the acquired information of the user. A document registration unit registers the document data and the attribute data in a document management unit. A second user identification information reading unit acquires identification information of the user. A request information generating unit acquires information of a user identified by the user identification information acquired by the second user identification information reading unit and generates document acquisition request information. A corresponding document selection unit selects document data related to the user based on document acquisition request information and the attribute information. A display control unit displays the selected document data.

Document management system, document management method, and recording medium storing program for document management

An information management system which enables analysis on basis of a processing history of content with use of a portable displaying-and-recording medium, includes a log recording function of managing user identification data to specify a user who owns the portable displaying-and-recording medium and content identification data to specify content, and recording the user identification data and the content identification data in an associated manner after the user performs processing of the content. Preferably, the portable displaying-and-recording medium records/retains data in a state where content is displayed and is capable of rewriting the content.

Information management system and information management method

Use right processing for mere viewing and listening of information and utilization right processing for utilization in users' own works can be separately performed, thereby reducing useless right processing in the process of creation and efforts to negotiate singly with an author for right processing. Virtual electronic information manipulation spaces are created on a network and managed by a management part. Information within the spaces is accumulated by an information accumulation part. An information manipulation space control part presents the virtual electronic information manipulation spaces to users while communicating with the management part over the network and obtains information managed by the management part by users' operations. Information in the information manipulation spaces is manipulated by an information manipulation part. When information is transferred out of the information manipulation spaces, right processing is performed by a right processing part.
