This is a general term for conferences held while using. This embodiment is suitable, for example, for implementing an interactive wall (registered trademark) manufactured by Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd., which is already commercially available as an electronic conference system, with a processing function described later. A description will be given assuming that the device 12 is a touch panel display device.

  Hereinafter, a process from when an electronic conference is started to when a conference participant sends a message to an external party by e-mail during the electronic conference using the electronic conference system according to the present embodiment will be described.

  First, the process up to joining the conference is the same as in the prior art. That is, when a participant who is seated in a predetermined seat in the conference room logs in to the system and participates in the electronic conference, the IC card reader 41 reads the self-owned IC card. The user ID of the participant read by the card reader 41 is transmitted to the information management server 20 to inquire about the attribute of the IC card owner. The information management unit 22 of the information management server 20 authenticates the user by confirming the right or wrong of the participant of the conference by the sent user ID, and returns the authentication result to the user authentication unit 43. In addition, the information management unit 22 updates information related to the user, such as a meeting attended by the user, as necessary. When the user is authenticated by the user authentication unit 43, the user information acquisition processing unit 44 acquires information about the participant from the information management server 20. In this embodiment, at least information (repository information) and address book information related to the storage destination that the participant uses personally, information (repository information) and address book information related to the storage destination shared by the conference body to which the participant belongs. To get. In this way, you will participate in the conference.

  The conference is started, and the presenter of the conference proceeds with the conference using the presenter terminal 10. The screen image displayed on the touch panel display device 12 of the presenter terminal 10 is displayed on the display 42 of each participant terminal 40. When the screen image displayed on the touch panel display device 12 is changed, the changed screen is displayed. The display content of the display 42 of each participant terminal 40 is changed in real time according to the image. When the conference participant presses the “screen save” button displayed on the display 42, the screen image storage processing unit 46 writes and stores the screen image displayed on the display 42 in the storage data temporary storage unit 50. Alternatively, the currently displayed screen image may be automatically saved when it is determined that the same screen is displayed for a predetermined time. As described above, when the screen image is stored, it is sequentially displayed in the display area 63 of the display 42.

  Here, when a conference participant wants to write a memo on the screen image displayed on the main screen 61 of the display 42 using the memo editing function, the conference participant performs the writing by performing a predetermined input operation using a mouse or the like. When contact with the main screen 61 is detected, the service function processing unit 45 determines that the memo editing process is started, activates the memo editing processing unit 51, and starts the memo editing process. When the participant presses the “save screen” button to end the memo editing process, the memo editing processing unit 51 ends the process, and the screen image saving processing unit 46 temporarily stores the screen image in which the memo is written. Write to the unit 50 and save.

  Next, characteristic mail transmission processing in the present embodiment will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. 4 and the screen display examples shown in FIGS.

  Assume that a meeting participant wants to immediately obtain materials that were not prepared at hand due to the contents of the discussion in the meeting. In this case, for example, in the state displayed on the screen in FIG. 5, writing to the main screen 61 is performed using the memo editing function. The memo editing processing unit 51 performs memo editing processing according to the memo writing operation (step 110). The conference participant writes a necessary message on the main screen 61 and then presses the “send mail” button 62. FIG. 6 shows a screen display example in which a part written by the conference participant is surrounded by a broken line 67.

  When the end of writing is recognized by detecting the pressing of the “mail transmission” button 62 (step 120), the service function processing unit 45 activates the mail processing unit 52 and starts mail transmission processing. First, the mail processing unit 52 causes the screen image storage processing unit 46 to temporarily store a screen image including the memo-written message (step 130). Then, the mail processing unit 52 reads each address book information of the conference participant acquired at the time of login and the address book stored in a storage location that can be specified from each address book information of the conference body to which the conference participant belongs, The registrant name and e-mail address registered in the address book are acquired (step 140). Then, a display screen for displaying a list of information acquired from both address books is generated, and the generated display screen is displayed on the main screen 61 (step 150). A display example of the generated mail address list display screen 68 is shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the mail address list display screen 68 is overwritten and displayed on the main screen 61. The mail address list display screen 68 displays the name of each registrant in the address book and each registrant as a destination. A list of email addresses corresponding to the first name is displayed. The conference participant then checks a check box corresponding to the destination to which the message is to be sent. FIG. 7 shows an example in which “u2” is selected by the conference participant. The conference participant checks the check boxes corresponding to all the destinations to be sent, and then presses the “Send” button 69 provided on the mail address list display screen 68. When detecting that the “send” button 69 is pressed, the mail processing unit 52 identifies the registrant whose check box is checked. Then, the temporarily saved screen image is transmitted by specifying the specified registrant's email address as the destination (step 160). In the screen image storage process in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the screen image is stored in the bitmap image format. Therefore, in order to reduce the transmission data amount, the transmission data is compressed by converting the bitmap data into a data format that can reduce the file size relatively, such as the JPEG format. It is preferable to apply such a size reduction process to the screen image and then send it to a designated destination as an email attachment.

  According to the present embodiment, as described above, the individual conference participants and the conference body register their address book information in the server computer on the network accessible from any participant terminal 40, and participate in the conference. E-mail address registered in the address book held by the individual and the conference body can be obtained even from the participant terminal 40 that is not private, so even if you want to send a message to an external person by e-mail, You can easily specify the destination. In addition, since the message to be sent is written to the screen image being displayed using the memo editing function and the screen image on which the message is written is sent, the creation of the message is extremely easy. Can be made. Thus, according to this embodiment, it is possible to easily and quickly send a message. If it is not desired to show the screen image being displayed to an external person, the conference participant may display a blank paper as a memo paper on the main screen 61 and write and send a message.

  According to the above example, the conference participant can have the material that he / she wants to bring to the conference room be delivered immediately by the person to whom the e-mail is sent.

  In this embodiment, the case where a message is sent by e-mail to an external person in order to obtain materials has been described as an example, but this shows an example of the use form of this embodiment, The purpose of sending a message to an external party is not limited to this example.

  Further, any person who is listed on the mail address list display screen 68 can designate the destination of the screen image on which the message is written. Therefore, it is not necessarily limited to outside persons, and can be transmitted to other conference participants in the same conference room.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the e-mail addresses registered in each address book of the individual and the conference body are simply merged and displayed as a list. However, there may be e-mail addresses registered in both the address book of the individual and the conference body. In such a case, check the e-mail address so that the same e-mail address is not displayed more than once, then the list It is desirable to display it.

  In the present embodiment, the e-mail address registered in both the individual and the address book of the conference body is simply displayed. For example, the absence of a conference that can be acquired by referring to the conference management information Information that can be used as an index for selecting a destination of a message such as a department or job title that can be acquired by referring to the user information may be displayed together with an e-mail address. Also, considering the case where the number of registered e-mail addresses is enormous, without displaying all e-mail addresses registered in the address book as a list, for example, only individual or conference address books, meeting absentees, A conference participant may be able to input and specify in advance a list display condition for narrowing down e-mail addresses that are subject to list display, such as a department manager or higher.

  By the way, in the above, the mail transmission for the message transmission which is the characteristic of this Embodiment was demonstrated. However, there is a possibility that an e-mail such as an inquiry about the message content is returned from the mail recipient to this sent mail. Therefore, it is desirable to provide a configuration for responding to a reply mail for the transmission of an electronic mail using the present embodiment, such as reception and display of a reply mail.
