FIG. 2B shows two clients 222.
And 223 are network (ISDN or dedicated line) 22
The portion connected by 1 is extracted and shown. Each of the clients 222 and 223 has a television 231 and a video conference controller 232, respectively. The video conference controller 232 has a camera 233 and a microphone 234.

A video conference is a communication tool that allows a user to have a real-time conversation while viewing a face image with a remote party using a public line such as ISDN or a dedicated line, and is used for meetings and meetings. The present invention is not limited thereto, and can be applied to distance education, distance medicine, and the like.

FIG. 3 shows a screen 300 displayed on the display device of each client. Here, a video conference held by a securities company will be described as an example. When a client who is a member of the conferee accesses a predetermined Web homepage via the network, the screen 304 displays the content 304 of the Web homepage. Also, the camera 215 of FIG. 2A generates moving image data of its own conferee,
The microphone 212 inputs voice and generates voice data.
Each client transmits the generated moving image data and audio data to the other client in real time via the network 201,
The moving image data and the audio data are received from the client of the other party via the client device 01. The received moving image data is HT
Converted to ML (Hypertext markup language) format,
A moving image 301 of the other party is displayed on the screen 300 in real time. In addition, a moving image 302 of the own conferees captured by the camera 215 is also displayed on the screen 300 in real time. The received voice data of the other party is reproduced and output from the speaker 216 in real time.

An operation button 303 is also displayed on the screen 300. Each conferee can give various instructions by clicking the operation button 303 with a mouse.
The operation buttons 303 include the following buttons. The conference connection button 311 is a button for selecting the other party to be conferenced and starting the conference. Conference end button 312

The recording start button 313 is a button for recording moving image data and audio data at the time of a conference on the hard disk 213. The hard disk 213 has
Only the moving image 301 of the other party may be recorded, or both the moving image 301 of the other party and the own moving image 302 may be recorded. The recording end button 314 is a button for ending the recording of the moving image data and the audio data. The recording stop button 315 is a button for stopping the recording of the moving image data and the audio data.

The recording transmission button 316 is a button for transmitting the moving image data and the audio data recorded on the hard disk 213 to the database server 113 via the Internet 100 in FIG. 1 for recording.
The database server 113 can record moving image data and audio data from both itself and the other party.

Since the hard disk of each client is not necessarily large in capacity, it is difficult to record a large amount of moving image data and audio data. Therefore, by recording the data in the database server 113, it can be utilized as a data warehouse, and each client does not need to prepare a large-capacity hard disk, and can hold a meeting any number of times to record the contents. In addition, since the contents of the meeting are not distributed to the hard disk of each client but are recorded centrally in the database server 113, they can be managed collectively and the minutes of the meeting can be easily created.

When the board start button 317 is clicked on with a mouse, a whiteboard application is started, and a whiteboard 305 is displayed on the screen 300 of the display device of the client. If any one of the clients clicks the board start button 317, the same whiteboard 305 is displayed on the screens of all clients. In other words, the client displays the whiteboard 305 on its own screen 300 and transmits a command for displaying the whiteboard 305 also on the screen of the other party to the other party via the network and the Internet 100.

The whiteboard 305 can input and write figures, texts, and the like using a cursor from an input unit of the system. When writing is performed by the whiteboard 305, the client redisplays the written content as the whiteboard 305 and transmits a command for displaying the written content also on the screen of the other party to the other party via the Internet 100. The written whiteboard 305 is displayed on both the screen of the user and the screen of the other party. When each client instructs saving on the whiteboard 305, the written contents are recorded on the hard disk 213.

The board transmission button 318 is a button for transmitting the content written on the whiteboard 305 recorded on the hard disk 213 to the database server 113 via the Internet 100 in FIG. By recording the written contents in the database server 113, the same effect as in the case of the moving image data and the audio data described above can be obtained.

A recording / playback button 319 is a button for receiving moving image data and audio data recorded in the database server 113 via the Internet 100, recording the data on the hard disk 213, and reproducing the data. The reproduction end button 320 is a button for ending the reproduction of the moving image data and the audio data. The pause button 321 is a button for temporarily stopping the reproduction of the moving image data and the audio data. The rewind button 322 is a button for rewinding the moving image data and the audio data. The fast-forward button 324 is a button for fast-forwarding the moving image data and the audio data.

The board read button 323 is a button for receiving whiteboard data recorded in the database server 113 via the Internet 100, recording the data on the hard disk 213, and activating and reading the whiteboard.

As described above, during a video conference, in addition to the moving image data 301 and 302 and the audio data of the conferee, the Web site content 304 and the whiteboard 305 as an application are integrated and displayed on a display device. Therefore, the conferees can share the data as conference materials, and an efficient video conference can be performed.

FIG. 4A shows a file name 401 for recording moving image data and audio data in the database server 113. FIG. 4B shows a file name 402 when whiteboard data (both shared write data) is recorded in the database server 113. Each of the file names 401 and 402 includes its own login ID 411, the other party's login ID 412, conference start date 413, conference start time 414, and extension 415, respectively.

Since the file names 401 and 402 have the above information 411 to 415, it is easy to search for predetermined conference data. The extension 415 of the file name 410 of the moving image data and the audio data is “rm”, and the extension 415 of the file name 402 of the whiteboard data is “N”.
