Abstract
In a meeting system, supplied-data which is convertible using a virtual machine is transmitted and received among a plurality of processing apparatuses interconnected via a transmission line, and meeting data is reproduced. At least two of the plurality of processing apparatuses include a meeting data reproducing apparatus respectively. At least one meeting data reproducing apparatus includes converting means including a virtual machine for converting the supplied-data into a data format which allows the meeting data to be reproduced, a communication interface unit for receiving the supplied-data from other processing apparatuses, and storage means in which a generated image is stored and which is accessible by other processing apparatuses via the communication interface unit. Each of at least one meeting data reproducing apparatus described above and another meeting data reproducing apparatus including the converting means and the communication interface unit reads part of the meeting data from the storage means and reproduces meeting data in a task-distributed fashion.
