Information processing apparatus and teleconference system

Abstract

The invention provides an information processing apparatus and a teleconference system for preventing a readability of word document from being reduced even when a user adds a postscript, such as a memo, onto the data of word document. The document data (e.g., conference materials) are transmitted from a conference server apparatus to a terminal apparatus 3 attending a teleconference, and the terminal apparatus 3 utilizes a displaying unit 46 to display the document data on the lower layer, utilizes a accepting unit 45 (e.g., a pen tablet or a mouse) to accept a writing operation performed on the display screen, generates a write-image regarding the writing operation on a layer upper than the lower layer, and displays and overlays the generated write-image on the document data. At that time, the terminal apparatus 3 sets a rectangular write-inhibition area containing character or word included in the sentence of document data. For example, when a leader line is written inside the write-inhibition area, an image regarding the written leader line is displayed outside the write-inhibition area.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device and a communication conference system in which a plurality of users can hold a conference through a network even if they are far apart. Background technique [0002] With the development of network technology, it is possible to send and receive large-capacity data such as video and voice between multiple terminal devices set up at two remote sites or multiple sites with more than three sites. A communication conference system in which users can hold a conference has already been put into practical use. [0003] In addition, among recent teleconferencing systems, there is a teleconferencing system that can share document data and the like among a plurality of terminal devices, and enables users participating in the teleconference to view common document data and the like. Users participating in the teleconference can use terminal devices to perform processes such as adding or editing com...
