The matrix switcher 30 is capable of computer control of video output switching. Control command data for video output switching is received from the personal computer 20 through the signal line 4 of the RS232C. In the following description, it is assumed that the display 40 is set to always display the image of the video signal line 27 as it is. Reference numeral 80 denotes a writing instrument provided in a separate room. The rewriting device 80 includes a tablet 82, a stylus 83, a controller 81, and a distributor 84 for distributing a video signal when the tablet 82 is of a type capable of displaying liquid crystal. (It may be connected to receive two video signal outputs from the matrix switcher 30 without using the distributor 84.) 90 is a respondent or moderator (chairperson) who answers while looking at the display 41 or 42. It is a writing instrument sometimes used.

Next, the personal computers 10 and 20 will be described in more detail. FIG. 2 shows the personal computer 10 of FIG.
And FIG. 20 is a diagram extracted and drawn. An assumed question and answer database 29 is stored in the hard disk device 28. The assumed question and answer database 29 can be accessed from a computer connected to the LAN 9 through client software of the database. Reference numeral 14 denotes an interactive card selection unit mounted on the personal computer 10. The interactive card selecting means 14 is a type of database client software capable of reading record data of the assumed question and answer database 29.

This means switching the display to the previous page. When activated on the personal computer 20, the card display means 24 keeps an eye on whether or not these command messages have arrived through the LAN 9. When the command messages arrive, the card display means 24 immediately executes necessary processing. As a result, the display on the displays 41 and 42 of the respondent or the chairman's seat is switched. Switching of the matrix switcher 30 will be described later.

FIG. 3 is an operation flow chart for explaining the operation flow of the general meeting support system. Referring to FIG. 3, how the general meeting support system is used will be described. This system is used at the stage of receiving free questions from participants at the general meeting of shareholders or general meetings of various organizations. FIG.
The processing steps indicated by rectangles in the figure indicate processing performed by the general assembly system by computer processing, and the processing steps indicated by trapezoids indicate steps of human operation.

First, a participant (shareholder, union member, etc.) asks a question (S00). Then, the person who heard the content of the question in a separate room, within the range of his / her own responsibility from the prepared assumed question and answer, Then, it is determined whether or not there is an appropriate answer to the question (S02). If there is such an answer, the card number of the assumed question and answer database is input from the ten keys 13 (S04). If there is no appropriate answer (S0
If the question 0 is not the assumed question, the process jumps to step S20.

The interactive card selection means 14 receives the input of the ten keys in step S04 and sets it as an answer candidate (S06). A confirmation display is performed on the display 11 up to the fourth answer candidate (S08). As a result, the contents of the answer card are displayed (only displayed on the display 11 but not yet displayed on the displays 40 to 42). S04 to S08 are repeated as necessary. However, there is an upper limit on the number of answer candidates that can be set. When all the answer candidates are available, one of the persons in charge determines whether there is an appropriate answer to the question (S10). If there is no appropriate answer, the process jumps to step S20. If there is, the person in charge selects one of the four confirmation displays on the touch panel 12 (S12). If necessary, the fifth and subsequent non-confirmed answer candidates are confirmed and displayed to select an optimal answer. The interactive card selecting unit 14 issues a “send designated answer number card” command to the card displaying unit 24. As a result, monitor 4 of the venue
The answer is displayed in 0 to 42 (S14), and the respondent or the chair sees this and answers the question from the participant.

In step S20, the person in charge is the rewriting device 80
Then, the answer is handwritten (S20). Then, by pressing the tablet image transmission button (S22), a setting switching command is transmitted to the matrix switcher 30 (S24), and the display on the monitors 41 and 42 at the venue is changed (S14). The respondent or chair sees this and answers questions from participants. In addition, the respondent or the chair himself can use the rewriting device 90 to display the handwritten images on the monitors 41 and 42 of the venue to explain the image (S
26).

The assumed question and answer database 29 will be described. The assumed question and answer database 29 is a simple card type database. FIG. 13 shows the contents recorded by the one card (one record of the database). FIG. 13 shows the input form of the database 29 as it is. As shown in FIG. 13, one card includes title, card number, category 1, category 2, respondent name, question, answer 1, answer 2, and reference items. The card number is a record number uniquely set for all cards. Other than the card number is text data. The contents of the reference column are not displayed on the screen displayed by the interactive card selection means 14 and the card display means 24.

Next, an interactive screen interface provided by the interactive card selecting means 14 to a person in another room will be described. FIG. 12 shows an interactive processing screen 120 displayed on the display 11 after the interactive card selecting means 14 is activated.

The four small screens 121 are screens for confirmation display. Up to the fourth of the cards set as answer candidates are displayed here. Also, only the card displayed here can be selected as the sending card. Normal,
Items such as title, card number, question, answer 1, and respondent are displayed. Reference numeral 122 denotes an answer candidate card operation unit. This is a group of selection buttons for displaying the set answer candidates as numbers of the select buttons, and for rearranging, deleting, and canceling the set answer candidates. The four buttons on the left side of the cancel button are buttons for selecting the first to fourth cards displayed for confirmation. Four buttons on the right side of the cancel button are buttons for displaying cards set as answer candidates after the fifth and enabling selection. In FIG. 12, up to the fifth (card number 119) is set. After all, in this screen interface 120, up to eight cards can be set as answer candidates.

By operating the buttons displaying the card numbers in the answer candidate card operation section 122 to change the order, for example, selecting the button 119 and subsequently selecting the button 107, they are exchanged with each other.
The contents of the 22 answer cards are displayed on the small screen on which the contents of the 107 card are displayed. Further, by selecting the button displaying the card number in 122 and then pressing the delete one button 128, the answer card of that number can be removed from the queue of answer candidates.

Reference numeral 123 denotes a shortcut key group, which is a group of buttons for directly sending a card frequently used for smooth proceedings to the card display means 24. Buttons 124 and 125 are used to send handwritten images on the tablet to the monitors 41 and 42 in the venue after using the rewriting device 80 in another room. When the user presses 124, the handwritten image is displayed so as to overlap the currently displayed one. When the button 125 is pressed, the currently displayed one disappears and the display is switched to the display of only the handwritten image. The two buttons 126 are scroll buttons. If the answer on the answer card cannot be answered with the answer 1 alone, answer 2
And a button to return to the display of answer 1. When the delete all button 127 is selected, the currently set answer candidate queue is cleared.

Next, the operation of the interactive card selecting means 14 will be described in detail. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the interactive card sending process performed by the interactive card selection unit 14. When activated, the interactive card selection means 14 first performs necessary initial settings and displays the interactive screen 120 on the display 11.
(S30). Next, an input event to the interactive screen interface 120 is waited for (S32). When an input event such as an input of the ten key 13 or a selection of a confirmation display screen by the touch panel 12 is generated, the input event is identified (S34), and the input event is processed. The prepared event processing routine is called (S36). Hereinafter, some event processing routines will be described.

First, according to the flowchart of FIG. 5, when the card number is input by the ten keys 13, that is, when there is an input as a new answer candidate (S0 in FIG. 3).
4) will be described. First, it is checked whether there is a free space in the answer candidate queue. 120 screen interface with queue length 8
Is the case. If the queue is full of answer candidates, it returns immediately. That is, the key input is not accepted as a new answer candidate.

If there is a free space in the answer candidate queue, the input number is set at the end of the queue (S41). For one of the buttons in the answer candidate card operation unit 122 according to the order in the queue, the selected and input card number is set as the caption of the button (S4).
2). Then, the card data of the designated card number is read from the assumed question / answer database 29, and the contents are temporarily stored in the buffer area defined by the interactive card selecting means 14 (S44). If the answer candidate queue is less than or equal to fourth, the contents of the read card data are displayed on the small screen according to the order of the queue in the confirmation display column 121 (S46).

Next, when the person in charge touches any one of the small screens displayed for confirmation with the touch panel 12, that is, when the card to be sent out is finally determined (S12 in FIG. 3).
The processing for step (1) will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, it is checked which of the small screens has been selected, and the order of the answer candidate queue corresponding to the small screen is obtained (S50). It is confirmed whether or not the answer candidate corresponding to the obtained ranking is set in the current answer candidate queue (S52). If the answer candidate is not set, it is a mere touch mistake, and the process ends immediately. Otherwise, send the selected answer card. First, a command message is issued to the card display means 24 to return the setting of the matrix switcher 30 to the normal state (a state in which the handwritten image of the retouching device 80 is not displayed) (S54, and as a result, the card display means 24 20 to the corresponding control command data on the serial signal line 4
To the matrix switcher 30, and the setting of the matrix switcher 30 returns to the normal state). Next, the card number set to the current answer candidate queue order is obtained (S56). Then, a request message for "sending the card number as a designated answer number" is issued to the card display means 24 through the LAN 9 (S58). The above is the event processing operation for the event of touching any of the small screens displayed for confirmation. Card display means 24
Receives the request message, reads the designated card from the assumed question and answer database,
Is displayed on the displays 40 to 42 of the general meeting venue.

Next, the processing when the person in charge selects the delete all item button 127 on the interactive screen 120 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the answer candidate queue is cleared, and the temporary storage buffer storing the data contents of the answer candidate card is also cleared (S60). Next, the display of the four small screens in the confirmation display field 121 is all cleared, and the caption (number display) of the button of the answer candidate card operation unit 122 is also cleared (S62). Then, a "display clear" message is issued to the card display means 24 via the LAN 9 (S64). The above is the event processing operation when the delete all item button 127 is selected. Upon receiving the "display clear" message, the card display means 24 converts the background image into the video signal line 2.
7 and displayed on the displays 40 to 42 of the general meeting venue.

Next, the processing when the staff member selects the secretariat retouching button 124 on the dialogue screen 120 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the person in charge creates a handwritten image on the tablet of the retouching device 80 and selects the secretariat retouching button 124, the interactive card selecting means 14
Indicates the setting of the matrix switcher 30 to the card display means 24,
A command message is issued requesting that the setting be switched to a setting in which the handwritten image is displayed in an overlapping manner (S80). The above is the event processing when the secretariat retouch button 124 is selected. The card display means 24 interprets the sent command message and immediately sends appropriate control command data to the matrix switcher 30 via the serial signal line 4. As a result, the overlapped images are displayed on the displays 41 and 42 at the general meeting venue.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a process performed when the staff member selects the button 125 only on the interactive screen 120. In the same manner as the processing for the case where the secretariat retouch button 124 is selected, the card display means 24
A command message requesting that the setting of the matrix switcher 30 be switched to a setting for displaying only the handwritten image of the retouching device 80 is issued (S82). The above is the event processing for the case where only the button 125 is selected. The card display means 24 interprets the sent command message and immediately sends the corresponding control command data via the serial signal line 4 to the matrix switcher 3.
Send to 0.

As other input events on the interactive screen 120, when the scroll button 126 is selected, when the delete one button 128 is selected, and when the number button is When the selection is made and another number button is subsequently selected (the order of the answer candidate queue is changed), one number button is selected on the answer candidate card operation unit 122 and the cancel button is subsequently selected (operation Cancellation). These processes can be easily designed by a technician having a design knowledge of ordinary interactive software if the above description is understood, and thus detailed description using a flowchart is omitted.

Next, a description of the matrix switcher 30 and control command data for controlling the matrix switcher 30 will be supplemented with reference to FIGS. FIG. 10 is a connection diagram of video signal lines centered on the matrix switcher 30. The matrix switcher 30 has five video signal outputs (A to E) and three video signal inputs (1 to 3).
One of three inputs for each video signal output AE
One can be specified. In an actual device, the number of inputs and outputs is larger, but for simplicity of description, input 3 and output 5 are used. As shown in FIG. 10, the output A is on the display 40, and the output B is the rewriting device 8 installed in a separate room.
The output C is connected to the display 41, the output D is connected to the display 42, and the output E is connected to the rewriting device 90 used by the respondent. Regarding inputs, input 1 is the video output 27 of the personal computer 20, input 2 is the video output 87 of the retouching device 80, input 3 is the video output 97 of the rewriting device 90,
Connect to accept each.

FIG. 11 shows a combination of necessary video displays and a combination of selection of input lines of the respective outputs A to E by the matrix switcher 30 provided in the general assembly support system 100. The display 40 is set so as to always output the video output 27 of the personal computer 20 as it is, and the displays 41 and 42 are connected to the video output 27 according to the operation of the screen interface 120 provided by the interactive card selecting means 14. The handwritten image created by the retouching device 80 is displayed in one of three ways: (I) only the video output 27 is displayed, (II) the both can be displayed in an overlapping manner, and (III) only the image created by the rewriting device 80 is displayed. Select Further, it is assumed that the handwritten image created by the retouching device 90 can always be displayed on the above three types of display. Thus, the displays 40 to 4
2. To use the rewriting devices 80 and 90 properly,
Inputs may be selected for each output of E as shown in FIG. (Here, since the output A is fixedly connected to the input 1 and the outputs C and D are fixedly connected to the input 3, the corresponding grid points are drawn with black circles in FIG. 10).

Therefore, a combination of input selection for each output (input selection of A, selection of B, selection of C, selection of D, E
At the time of sending out the answer card (S54 in FIG. 6).
When the command message of (1) is received from the personal computer 10, it is set to the standard setting (I) (1, 1 / *, 3,
Similarly, when the secretariat retouch button 124 is selected (S80 in FIG. 8), the control command data instructing (3, 1) is set to (II) (1, 1, 3, 3, 2). When the control command data to be instructed is set to (III) when the button 125 alone is selected (S82 in FIG. 9), the control command data to instruct (1, *, 3, 3, 2) is set to the personal computer. What is necessary is just to transmit from 20 to the matrix switcher 30 via the serial signal line 4. Note that * indicates that no input line is selected, and 1 / * indicates that either input 1 or none of the input lines may be selected.

In practice, it may be necessary to increase the number of displays to be set at the venue. However, as long as the number of output ports of the matrix switcher 30 is possible, if appropriate control command data is transmitted by a similar control method, Good. On the other hand, when a small-scale configuration is required, the matrix switcher 30 is not necessarily required. For example, a configuration in which the video output 27 of the personal computer 20 is connected to two displays through a distributor is possible. It is more convenient to have a writing instrument, but it is not an essential configuration. The control command data for switching the setting of the matrix switcher 30 is directly transmitted from the personal computer 10 to the matrix switcher 3.
0 may be connected to the serial signal line 4 (in this case, the interactive card selecting means 14).
The command message for requesting the switching of the matrix switcher 30, which is transmitted to the card display means 24 from the PC, becomes unnecessary.)

In the above general meeting support system 100,
It has been described that the record of the designated card number is read again by the card display means 24 and output to the video signal output 27 in response to the request message of the interactive card selection means 14. As another possible embodiment, the interactive card selecting means 14 adds the record content itself of the card determined to be sent to the request message via the LAN 9 and sends the request message. The configuration may be such that the added data content is displayed on the displays 40 to 42 without access. The length of the answer candidate queue handled by the interactive card selecting means 14 and the number of answer candidates that can be confirmed and displayed on the interactive interface 120 are 8,
It is not limited to four. What is necessary is just to set appropriately so that it may be used easily.

The general meeting support system 100 as a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above in detail. Since the assumed question and answer is stored in a database as the assumed question and answer database 29, the answer content can be immediately taken out by inputting the card number. The screen interface 120 provided by the interactive card selection means 14 can simultaneously display a plurality of answer candidate card contents, so before sending the instruction to the venue display and giving an instruction, confirm whether the answer is really appropriate. can do. In addition, since the general meeting support system 100 employs a configuration in which a plurality of computers are connected by a network, a large number of persons are gathered in a room separate from the general meeting venue, and a thorough system for supporting the respondent or the chairperson or the moderator is prepared. It is possible to take

[0041]

As described above, the general meeting support system according to the present invention not only solves the problems of the conventional method used during the question and answer session of the general meeting, but also allows the general meeting to proceed more smoothly than the conventional method. It has a remarkable effect that it can be performed.
