[0018]
(First Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of a conference network system according to a first embodiment to which the present invention is applied.
[0019]
In FIG. 1, a conference network system 1 is used, for example, in a conference room, and is used by a terminal device (hereinafter, referred to as a chair terminal device 3) provided at a chair seat for use by a chairman and each member. For this purpose, a terminal device provided at each member seat (hereinafter, referred to as a member terminal device 5) is used as a client computer, and the terminal devices 3 and 5, which are client computers, and a server computer 7 provided separately are used. Connected to build LAN.
[0020]
The server computer 7 is equipped with a caricature-based electronic attendance book 10 for indicating the attendance status of each member of the Diet and the current state of each member of the Diet.
[0021]
The caricature-attached electronic attendance book 10 includes an attendance management unit 11, a caricature display unit 13, a status display unit 15, a communication unit 17, and a data storage unit 19.
[0022]
The attendance management unit 11 checks the attendance status of each member based on the login information from each member terminal device 5.
[0023]
The portrait display unit 13 displays the attendance status of each member as a portrait together with the seat layout of the conference on the chair terminal device 3 based on the information from the attendance management unit 11.
[0024]
When a member of the Diet wants to notify the chairman of the current state, the state display unit 15 notifies the chairman of the input contents by illustration display according to the input from the member terminal device 5.
[0025]
The communication unit 17 connects the chair terminal device 3 and each member terminal device 5 so that they can be individually communicated.
[0026]
The data storage unit 19 stores the portrait data of each member of the Diet used by the portrait display unit 13 and an illustration indicating the state of the student determined in advance, as well as the seat layout of each member of the conference and the attendance management unit 11. The information of the attendance check that has been performed is stored. Here, these memories are all related by the user ID. That is, for the user ID, the name of the member of parliament, portrait data, attendance status, a member terminal device to which the member of the user ID to be described later logs in, the current state, and the like. The data storage unit 19 stores these data using a storage device such as a hard disk of the server computer 7.
[0027]
The chair terminal 3 is equipped with an input device 31 including a keyboard for inputting characters and a pointing device such as a mouse for inputting instructions, a monitor 33 for display, and a microphone and earphone 35. In addition, the chair terminal device 3 converts an audio input from the microphone into digital data and converts received digital audio data into analog audio, and a video for displaying the received video data on the monitor 35. A processing unit is provided.
[0028]
Similarly, the member terminal device 5 is also provided with a keyboard for inputting characters, an input device 51 such as a pointing device such as a mouse for inputting instructions, a monitor 53 for display, and a microphone and earphone 55. I have. The member terminal device 5 also has an audio processing unit that converts audio input from a microphone into digital data and converts received digital audio data into analog audio, and a video processing unit that displays video data on a monitor 55. It has a part.
[0029]
Next, the operation of the electronic attendance sheet 10 with a portrait will be described.
[0030]
First, the operation procedure of attendance confirmation will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a processing procedure of attendance confirmation by the attendance management unit 11 and a flow of data transmission / reception of the server computer 7, the chair terminal device 3, and the member terminal device 5.
[0031]
Here, the process will be described when a certain member is present, but the same process is performed for the chairman and other members. However, in the case of the chair, the operation is performed from the chair terminal device 3, and each member is operated from the member terminal device 5 of each member.
[0032]
First, in FIG. 2, when a member of the Diet attends and starts the member of the Diet terminal device 5, a login process is started, and a user ID and a password previously assigned to the member of the Diet are input from the member of the Diet member device 5. (S1).
[0033]
The member terminal device 5 transmits the input user ID and password to the server computer 7 as login information (S2). As a result, the user ID and the password are transmitted from the member terminal device 5 to the server computer 7 as login information. At this point, the server computer 7 starts the authentication procedure.
[0034]
Then, in the server computer 7, the attendance management unit 11 receives the received login information (T1).
[0035]
The attendance management unit 11 that has received the login information determines whether the input user ID and password are correct (T2). As a result of the determination, if the user ID and the password are not correct, a rejection is returned to the member terminal device 5 to which the member has logged in as authentication information (T3).
[0036]
If the user ID and the password are correct in step T2, the fact that the login has been approved is returned to the member terminal 5 to which the member has logged in as authentication information (T4), and the attendance of the member is recorded in the data storage unit 19 (T5). ). At this time, the member terminal device to which the member has logged in is also recorded. By associating the logged-in member's terminal device with the position of the member's terminal device on the seat layout based on the record of the logged-in member's terminal device, it is specified which seat the logged-in member has logged in, that is, which seat in the conference room.
[0037]
The legislator terminal device 5 that has received the authentication information determines whether the received authentication information is approved (S3). If the authentication information received by the member terminal apparatus 5 is not approved, the fact is displayed (S4), and the process returns to step S1. Therefore, the processing of steps S1 to S4 is repeatedly executed along with the processing of steps T1 to T3 of the server computer 7 until the login of the member is approved. On the other hand, if the authentication information received by the member terminal device 5 is the approval of the login, the fact is displayed (S5), and the login process ends.
[0038]
Thereafter, the attendance management unit 11 transmits the attendance table of each member to the chair terminal device 3 as a list display or a seat layout display. In the list display, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, the names (AK in the figure) of each member and attendance of the member are displayed as a list. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, the seat layout display shows the names of the members who have attended each seat of the seat layout 131 stored in the data storage unit 19 in advance (a clockwise from the chair seat in the figure, a, h, e,..., j) are displayed in a superimposed manner. The display of the name on the seat layout 131 is performed by associating the record of the logged-in member terminal device with the member name from the user ID.
[0039]
These attendance statuses are displayed in response to an attendance display switching instruction from the chair terminal device 3 (U1). The list display and the seat layout display are transmitted by the attendance management unit 11 as information indicating the attendance status of a member of the Diet whose login was authenticated and attendance was confirmed as part of the authentication procedure. That is, when the attendance display switching instruction from the chair terminal device 3 is an instruction to display a list and an instruction to display a seat layout (T6: No), the attendance management unit 11 performs a list display or a seat layout display in accordance with those instructions. The attendance table is transmitted (T7). Then, the chair terminal 3 receiving the attendance display by the list display or the seat layout display displays them (U2). Thereafter, the authentication procedure processing by the attendance management unit 11 ends.
[0040]
If the portrait display is selected in the attendance display switching instruction (U1) (T6: Yes), the process proceeds to the portrait display process (T8). As a result, the attendance status is displayed by the portrait of each member by the function of the portrait display section 13.
[0041]
Next, an operation procedure for performing the portrait display will be described.
[0042]
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a processing procedure for displaying a portrait by the portrait display unit 13 and a flow of data transmission and reception between the server computer 7 and the chair terminal device 3.
[0043]
The portrait display section 13 starts the process when the portrait display is selected in the attendance display switching instruction (U1) from the chair terminal device 3 (T8 in FIG. 2).
[0044]
The portrait display unit 13 acquires the seat layout, attendance data of each member, and the login position from the data storage unit 19 (T11). The attendance data is, as described above, confirmed by the attendance management unit 11 and recorded in the data storage unit 19, and the login position is a record of the logged-in member terminal device.
[0045]
Subsequently, the portrait display unit 13 extracts the portrait data for each of the acquired attending members from the data storage unit 19 using the member's user ID as a key (T12).
[0046]
Then, the portrait display section 13 transmits the acquired seat layout, portrait data of the attending member of parliament, and display position data of the portrait on the seat layout to the chair terminal device 3 as a portrait attendance display (T13). The display position data of the portrait is determined to be a position on the seat layout corresponding to the position of the member terminal device based on the record of the member terminal device to which each member has logged in.
[0047]
As a result, in the chair terminal device 3, attendance display of members of parliament is performed by a portrait (U3). In the presence / absence display by a portrait, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, a portrait 133 of each attending member is displayed on the seat layout 131, while a portrait 135 of the absent member is not displayed. This makes it possible to visually confirm the attendance of members of the Diet.
[0048]
With the above, the processing of the portrait display in the server computer 7 is completed, but the attendance display switching instruction (U1) from the chair terminal device 3 can switch to the attendance display by the list display or the seat layout display described above at any time. The attendance display may be printed out from a printer (not shown) connected to the LAN in any of the list display, the seat layout display, and the portrait display.
[0049]
As the portrait data of each member used for the portrait display, for example, an illustration depicting the characteristics of each member, an illustration drawn by extracting a characteristic line from the photograph data, or the photograph data itself can be used. .
[0050]
The caricature displayed by default is a caricature with a facial expression meaning "healthy", and if it is otherwise unwell, add an illustration indicating that, change the facial expression of the caricature, or change the color of the caricature itself To display.
[0051]
Such a display of the state of the member is performed by the state display unit 15.
[0052]
FIGS. 7 and 8 show the processing procedure of the member state notification operation by the state display unit 15 and the subsequent processing procedure of the individual communication operation by the communication unit 17, and the data of the server computer 7, the chair terminal device 3, and the member terminal device 5. It is a figure which shows the flow of transmission / reception.
[0053]
First, a state input for notifying the current state of the member of parliament is performed from the member terminal device 5 (S21). In this state input, various states may be displayed on a menu in advance, and the state may be selected from the menus, and a comment may be input by character input as necessary. As the menu display, for example, it is preferable to provide, for example, the current physical condition such as a cold or an injury, poor physical condition due to sudden change during a meeting (for example, feeling unwell), and temporarily leaving the seat if necessary.
[0054]
When the input of the state and the comment is completed, the member terminal device 5 transmits this to the server computer 7 as state information (S22).
[0055]
In the server computer 7, the status display unit 15 receives the status and the comment transmitted as status information (T21). Then, the status display unit 15 records the received status and the comment in the data storage unit 19 (T22).
[0056]
Subsequently, the state display unit 15 selects an option display of a portrait corresponding to the received state from the data storage unit 19 (T23). Since the received state is previously selected from the menu display, the option display is also stored in the data storage unit 19 in advance with an illustration corresponding to the menu display, so that the user can select from the illustrations. ing. The illustration of the option display includes, for example, a mask pattern for a cold, a bandage pattern for an injury, a crying face pattern for a sudden change in physical condition, and a cross mark for a temporary leaving. Of course, the illustration used for such display may be determined arbitrarily, and is not limited to these. Also, the color of the portrait of a member of the Diet may be changed instead of or together with the illustration.
[0057]
Subsequently, the status display unit 15 transmits the selected option display to the chair terminal device 3 (T24). At this time, the status display unit 15 also transmits the display position of the option display. This is because the option is displayed on the seat layout by superimposing the portrait of the member who has notified the state on the seat layout.
[0058]
Upon receiving the option display indicating the status, the chair terminal device 3 displays the option display illustration superimposed on the portrait based on the received display position (U21).
[0059]
For example, when the chairman has closed the attendance table, the chair terminal device 3 displays a message indicating that the status notification has been received on the monitor 33 of the chair terminal device 3 by a pop-up display 137 as shown in FIG. It is good to be notified by reception. Then, by clicking this pop-up display 137, the attendance display by the portrait display is displayed, and the option display may be displayed so as to be superimposed on the portrait of the member who notified the state.
[0060]
On the other hand, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, when the attendance table 138 or the seat layout display by the list display is open, the member who has notified the state may be highlighted or blinked 139. Then, by pointing to the highlight or blink, the option display may be displayed after the portrait display.
[0061]
As a result, the chairperson can visually and immediately understand the state of each member by displaying a portrait and an illustration.
[0062]
Further, from the chair terminal device 3, it is possible to know a more detailed state of each member. For this purpose, the chair terminal 3 first determines whether or not there has been a detail request (U22). This detail request is performed, for example, by pointing a displayed portrait of a member of the Diet with a mouse cursor (such as hitting or clicking the cursor on the portrait) and determining this as a detail request.
[0063]
When there is a detail request, the chair terminal device 3 transmits a detail request to the server computer 7 (U23). If it is not a detail request in step U22, the process proceeds to step U25.
[0064]
In the server computer 7 which has received the detail request, the status display unit 15 determines whether or not the detail request has been received (T25). The feature of the member registered in advance, for example, the name, age, and if registered, the history of the member is transmitted to the chair terminal device 3 (T26). If the detail request has not been received in step T25, the process proceeds to step T27.
[0065]
The chairman terminal device 3 having received this displays the received comment and the characteristics of the member (U24).
[0066]
FIG. 11 is a drawing for explaining the detailed display.
[0067]
As shown in the figure, when the portrait of the member of the Diet S is pointed by the cursor 41, a request for details of the member of the Diet is made, whereby a pop-up message 43 for indicating the details of the member of the Diet is displayed from the portrait of the member of the Diet. Have been. The pop-up message 43 displays the name 45 and physical condition 47 of the member of the Diet, and the comment 49 if there is an input comment.
[0068]
In addition to the request for details, the chair terminal device 3 can directly perform voice communication individually with each member.
[0069]
To do this, the chair terminal 3 first determines whether there is an individual communication request (U25). The communication request is made, for example, by pointing and double-clicking a portrait of a member of the Diet to be communicated with the mouse cursor (or by selecting it separately from a menu), and determines that this is a communication request.
[0070]
If there is an individual communication request, the chair terminal device 3 transmits an individual communication request with the designated member to the server computer 7 (U26). If there is no individual communication request in step U25, the process returns to step U22.
[0071]
The server computer 7 that has received the communication request determines whether or not the communication unit 17 has received the communication request (T27). If the communication request is a communication request, the server computer 7 transmits a communication connection request to the designated member terminal device 5. (T28).
[0072]
Upon receiving this, the chair terminal 3 displays that a communication request has been made (S23), and starts communication connection (S24).
[0073]
The communication connection is relayed between the member terminal device 5 and the chair terminal device 3 by the server computer 7 (T29), and is performed as mutual communication (U27).
[0074]
Thus, various messages can be exchanged between the chairman and the member of the Diet individually.
[0075]
With this status display and communication function, even if a member of the Diet suddenly becomes ill during a meeting, for example, the member of the Diet can easily inform the chairman of the condition and, if necessary, communicate by voice. It becomes.
[0076]
As described above, according to the first embodiment, it is possible to confirm the attendance of each member of the Diet by a method with a high visual effect called a portrait. Therefore, the attendance status can be grasped at a glance.
[0077]
In addition, since each member of the Diet can notify his / her status to the chair, he / she can notify the chair of his / her health condition, and can also easily notify the chair even if his / her physical condition suddenly deteriorates. Furthermore, the communication function allows various messages to be exchanged individually with the chair. As a result, the chairman can easily manage the health of members, and can quickly respond to sudden changes in physical condition.
[0078]
