Abstract
This invention provides an information sharing system management apparatus which efficiently manages a TV conference without requiring the user to join it. When a terminal A is started, a first system acquires information such as the start time, participants, and the like of a video conference system from that video conference system, and transmits the acquired information to a second system on a terminal A . The second system stores the received information. When the operator inputs a conference record command on the terminal A , the first system requests the video conference system to send a conference record including speech and the like, and transmits the received conference record to the second system. The second system stores the received conference record. The operator at the terminal A can display and observe the conference information and conference record stored by the second system as needed. Such information is updated every required times.
