These computer programs cooperate to execute arithmetic processing. The storage device 40 stores data such as a conference sheet 41, a conference theme 42, keywords 43, a display frame 44, a selection area 45, ranking information 46, an overall evaluation score 47, etc., as shown in the figure. Specific functions and data structures of these programs will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

FIG. 2 is a hardware block diagram of the computer 12.
The main body control unit 3 of the computer 12 is equipped with the hardware shown in this figure. The internal bus 110 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 111, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 112, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 113, an HDD (Hard Disk) 114, an input / output interface 115, and a network interface 116. Is connected. A display 3, a keyboard 4, and a mouse 5 are connected to the input / output interface 115. A terminal device of a conference participant is connected to the network interface. The above hardware is the same as that of a generally well-known personal computer, and further detailed description is omitted.

  The storage device 40 illustrated in FIG. 1 includes a ROM 112, a RAM 113, and an HDD 114. The arithmetic processing unit 20 illustrated in FIG. 1 includes a CPU 111, a ROM 112, a RAM 113, and the like. Various types of information are mainly stored and saved in the HDD 114. A computer program executed by the CPU 111 is stored in the ROM 112 or loaded into the RAM 113 as appropriate. The display 2 functions as a display device. The keyboard 4 and the mouse 5 function as a specifying unit 23 that operates the display screen and specifies data.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of a network configuration when a computer conference is performed.
In the example of the figure, terminal devices 51 to 58 of eight conference participants are connected to the network 15. And these terminal devices access the server computer 60 by a browser, for example. The server computer 60 is provided with data receiving means 21, display control means 22, specifying means 23, and arithmetic processing means 24 that operate for each terminal device. The server computer 60 has the hardware configuration and functions described with reference to FIGS.

  When the conference is started, the screen for conference progress stored in the storage device 40 of the server computer 60 is displayed on the display of each terminal device by the browser of each terminal device. Each terminal device only needs to have a function for operating a browser, and can be used for a conference using either a mobile phone (terminal device 56) or a palmtop computer (terminal device 58). That is, all the conference calculation processes can be executed on the server computer 60.

  On the other hand, each terminal device may be provided with the data reception means 21, the display control means 22, the designation means 23, and the arithmetic processing means 24 shown in FIGS. In this case, it is not always necessary for each conference participant to connect his / her own terminal device to the terminal devices of other conference participants through the network at the same time. For example, as will be described later, the first stage process that can be performed independently by a conference participant is executed offline, and when the second stage process is started, all terminal devices may be connected to each other via a network. The following examples will be described with a focus on this method.

  Moreover, the data reception means 21, the display control means 22, the designation | designated means 23, and the arithmetic processing means 24 which operate | move for each terminal device may be provided in any terminal device of a conference participant. One of the conference participant's terminal devices has the role of a server computer. Even in such a system, a computer conference by the system of the present invention can proceed.

  When a predetermined theme is given at a general meeting and an opinion for solving it is given, another meeting participant gives an opinion on the opinion. Each conference participant has a different level of understanding of the theme and preliminary study time. If the meeting starts in that state, the participants who have a deep understanding will take leadership. Participants with a low level of understanding are not likely to give their opinions and are not adopted even if they give their opinions. Therefore, in this computer conference, in the previous stage, each conference participant gives out and organizes some opinions using keywords, and further evaluates and ranks their opinions. The computer conferencing system supports the work for automatically and quickly collecting ideas. Further, the ranking result is immediately converted into a keyword list and sent to each conference participant. Each conference participant can understand the thoughts of other conference participants by looking at the keyword list and the result of ranking. Since the amount of data communication between conference participants may be small and strict real-time performance is not required, there is an effect that network traffic can be reduced.

  In the latter part, each participant in the meeting collects and evaluates the opinions judged to be the best. Rank keywords and bring everyone's ranking results. The keywords to be evaluated are specified, and the results of each ranking are scored for comprehensive evaluation. Thereby, the best keyword can be selected by the consensus of all the members. Each conference participant has fully studied the theme in the previous work, so they can understand the opinions of other conference participants well. Also, by looking at the keyword list and ranking information obtained in the previous stage, you can learn the thoughts and thought processes of others. Rather than fighting the opinions of the participants in the meeting, each of them can evaluate each person's opinions individually, and can give and give opinions individually, so they can be dragged to the opinions of specific meeting participants There is no such thing. The amount of data communication for comprehensive evaluation is also small, and network traffic can be reduced.

  Furthermore, in the first stage, keywords that are freely conceived by each conference participant are ranked, and the results are given to other participants. On the other hand, in the latter part, everyone gathers the same number of keywords with the same contents and ranks them. Then, a weighting calculation is performed using the ranking result. Thereby, in the latter part, the opinions of all the conference participants are reflected equally to the opinions of all the conference participants, and the result is transmitted to all the conference participants in a timely manner. Moreover, if there is no need to connect the network in real time and the timing is slightly shifted, data can be aggregated sufficiently efficiently. Since the keywords highly evaluated by many conference participants are automatically arranged and output in a higher rank, the result of reflecting the consensus of all members is obtained.

Referring back to FIG. 1, a specific operation example of the computer conference system 10 will be described.
In the arithmetic processing device 20 shown in FIG. 1, the data receiving means 21 has a function of receiving input of data to be subjected to arithmetic processing. This is for controlling a window for data input / output and corresponds to a screen displayed on a browser. The display control unit 22 has a function of displaying data input to the data receiving unit 21 or data processed by the arithmetic processing unit 24 on a display device (display 2 or the like).

  The designating unit 23 has a function of designating data for executing predetermined processing on any data displayed on the display device. The keyboard 4 and the mouse 5 are applicable. The arithmetic processing unit 24 has a function of executing predetermined arithmetic processing using the data received by the data receiving unit 21 or the data specified by the specifying unit 23. The arithmetic processing means 24 has a function of operating each program module in turn.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an image of the entire conference paper.
It is not necessary to distribute this form to conference participants during a computer conference. However, after the meeting is finished, it is preferable to distribute the data in which the organized information is entered as image data or tabular data. The paper is provided with a theme frame 61, a work area 62, a selection area, and a total area 64. These are sequentially displayed on the computer display as necessary.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a screen displaying the theme frame 61.
The theme processing unit 25 causes the storage device 40 to store the conference theme 42 received by the data receiving unit 21. At the same time, the display control unit 22 displays the image on the display device. It should be noted that a column displaying condition 1 or condition 2 may be provided to display the theme conditions for reference. For example, a condition such as “domestic” is attached to the theme of “expanding sales by 20%”.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a screen displaying the work area 62.
The work area 62 includes display frames 44 arranged in a matrix of N rows and M columns. The display frame 44 is requested to input a keyword related to the theme displayed in the theme frame 61. The input keyword 43 is stored in the storage device 40. At the same time, the display control unit 22 displays the image on the display device. The keyword input order and input position are arbitrary. For example, as shown in the figure, when one keyword is input to the highlighted display frame 44, the adjacent display frame 44 may be automatically highlighted.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a screen displaying the work area 62 and the selection area 45.
The selection area 45 is for ranking the keywords displayed in any of the display frames 44 in the work area 62. Here, the number of ranks is three ranks of large importance, medium, and small. The work area 62 is a 3 × 3 matrix. The selection area 45 is divided into three lines by line. A frame 71 that can accommodate three keywords is provided in one line. That is, the number of display frames 44 in the work area 62 and the number of frames in the selection area 45 are made equal. Then, the work area 62 is divided and displayed. This facilitates keyword movement, ranking, and ranking, which will be described later. The selection area display means 27 (FIG. 1) causes the display control means 22 to display the selection area 45 on the display device.

  First, the keyword selection control means (FIG. 1) highlights one frame 71 having a high importance rank so as to accept a keyword. Here, when any keyword in the work area 62 is clicked by an operation of the mouse or the like, the corresponding keyword is moved to the frame 71. FIG. 7 shows this state. Of the keywords displayed in the work area 62 in the figure, those that are determined to have a high level of importance as a whole are moved to three frames of this high level of importance.

FIG. 8 is an operation explanatory diagram for moving the keyword to the selection area 45 continuously.
When the three frames with the high importance rank are filled, next, one frame 72 with the medium importance level is in the accepting state. After that, when the three frames of medium importance are filled, finally, one frame of low importance is accepted. In this way, all keywords are moved from the display frame 44 to the selection area 45. In this work, the importance level display 80 and the frame highlighting are very effective for confirming the keyword destination by supporting the operation without error. The keyword selection control means 28 executes the process of moving the keyword from the display frame 44 to the corresponding frame in the selection area 45 as described above.

FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram of a display screen example during the ranking process.
First, the keyword ranking unit 28 ranks all the display frames 44 arranged in a matrix with a serial number. In the example of this figure, numerical values 1 to 9 may be assigned to the attribute data of each display frame. Here, for example, when any display frame is designated using a mouse, it is preferable that a ranking display 81 is displayed as shown in the figure. In the keyword ranking mode, it is preferable that the frame 73 containing the keyword of the high importance level in the selection area 45 is highlighted simultaneously with the display of the ranking display 81. Thus, when any keyword that falls within the importance level of the selection area 45 is designated, the keyword is moved to the display frame on which the ranking display 81 is displayed.

FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a screen at the end of the ranking process.
Ranking is No. 1 to No. Up to 3 corresponds to a rank of high importance. Ranking is No. 4 to No. Up to 6 corresponds to the rank of medium importance. Ranking is No. 7 to No. Up to 9 corresponds to a rank of low importance. The keyword ranking unit 29 sets the display frames one by one in order and accepts the keywords designated by the designation unit in the rank selection area 45 corresponding to the corresponding ranking. Execute the process to move to. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 1 to No. Keywords ranked up to 9 are displayed in the work area 62.

  The ranking result transmission means 30 transmits the keyword thus ranked and information indicating the ranking to the terminal devices of all conference participants via the network 14. The work so far can be freely performed by each conference participant before the start of the conference. The above work is typically completed in about 30 minutes. Therefore, it is preferable to prepare the conference progress control data 48 for issuing a pop-up message at the end of each work, sounding a chime, or announcing a message such as “Start keyword ranking”. The conference progress control means reads the conference progress control data 48 in order and prompts the progress of the conference. Moreover, you may prepare progress control data with a little slow pace for an inexperienced participant. Then, for example, the timing at which the keywords and ranking information are transmitted to each other may be limited to a certain time range before the conference start time by schedule management. As a result, all the conference participants have completed the preparation for the previous stage, and can enter the subsequent process all at once.

  Further, the table output means 31 generates a list as shown in FIG. The keywords received from the terminal devices of all conference participants are arranged in a list in the order of information indicating the ranking, and are displayed on the display device by the display control means. Looking at this total area 64, it can be seen which conference participants propose what keywords and which are considered most important. Here, for example, if the control is performed so that the names of the conference participants are masked and displayed, the evaluation can be performed without being conscious of who has given an opinion, so that the objectivity is increased. Each conference participant can see this total area 64, deepen their understanding of the theme, and reevaluate their opinions.

FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram of a screen example displayed at the beginning of the subsequent meeting.
From here, the process proceeds to the latter stage of the conference. First, the keyword input control means 26 collects the keywords with the highest ranking transmitted from the terminal devices of all the conference participants. This indicates a keyword in a horizontal row with a display of 1 on the left side in the total area 64 of FIG. Then, these are arranged in any of the display frames arranged in a matrix of N rows and M columns, and are displayed on the display device by the display control means 22. FIG. 11 shows the result. Next, the selection area display means 27 displays the selection area 45. Further, the keyword selection control means 28 highlights the high importance area of the selection area 45 and puts one of the frames into the accepting state. Here, the keyword designated by the designation means is moved from the display frame to the selection area 45.

FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of keywords ranked on the work area 62.
The keyword ranking unit 29 moves the keywords from the selection area to the display frame by sequentially accepting the ranked display frames one by one in the same manner as in the previous process described above. Then, information indicating all keywords and ranking is stored in the storage device 40. In this way, the same processing as that performed in the previous stage is performed to rank the keywords. The rank is No. In the case of No. 1, 9 points, no. In the case of 2, 8 points, no. In the case of 3, an evaluation score is given in the manner of 7 points,.

FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram of an output example of the table output means.
Thereafter, the table output means 31 collects all conference participant keywords and ranking information. In the latter part, all the conference participants ranked the same nine keywords. Therefore, first, the evaluation points for all conference participants of all keywords are listed using keywords as keys. Next, ranking information (evaluation points) for the same keyword is accumulated, and an overall evaluation point is calculated for each keyword. As shown in FIG. 13, the keyword 43 is displayed at the left end, and the evaluation score of each conference participant is listed on the right side. The names of the conference participants may be replaced with symbols A, B, C... As shown, or the real names may be displayed. And the comprehensive evaluation score which accumulated the evaluation score is displayed on the right end. Finally, the keywords are rearranged in the order of the comprehensive evaluation points to complete the output table. The table output means 31 transmits the result to the terminal devices of all conference participants.

  Compare the output table of FIG. 10 output in the preceding process with the output table of FIG. 13 output in the subsequent process. The output table of FIG. 10 summarizes the keywords that the participants of each conference created for the theme given and ranked by themselves. Since keywords representing each person's thoughts are ranked, rearranged, organized and displayed in a list, a comprehensive comparative analysis of opinions on the themes of all conference participants can be performed. Since the computer can collect the processing results through the network and output such a list instantly, the contents of the opinions of the conference participants are notified to all, and preparation of materials for moving to the subsequent processing is completed in a short time To do. Preparation for moving to the next stage is a task of collecting data that each conference participant ranks first and creating data for evaluation by all conference participants.

  In general meetings, a considerable amount of time is spent on reporting themes and exchanging opinions. Moreover, there are a limited number of people who give opinions, and there are people who do not give opinions even if they have opinions. According to this computer conferencing apparatus, since each person performs the preceding process in a predetermined procedure by computer guidance, there are individual differences, but at least the preceding stage is completed in about 30 minutes. In addition, this computer conference apparatus has a function to draw out everyone's opinions evenly in a short time and introduce them to everyone. At least all the keywords that all the participants in the meeting have at that time can be listed in a state that is ranked to some extent.

  In the case of general meetings, the processing in the first stage corresponds to the work of reporting the theme and exchanging opinions. The latter processing corresponds to the work of making a resolution based on the result of the exchange of opinions. According to this computer conferencing apparatus, it is not a resolution that simply selects one keyword by majority vote. The result of ranking the keywords issued by all members with their opinions reflected equally is output. In other words, in the latter part, each conference participant brings one of his / her opinions that seems to be the best, and ranks those keywords together. Each conference participant ranks independently without being confused by the claims of other conference participants, so their own values appear as they are. When ranking is completed, evaluation points are automatically calculated and an output table is automatically generated. Since the evaluation scores of all the participants in the meeting are accumulated, the opinions of all the members are reflected equally and the corresponding keywords are ranked with the consensus of all the members.

  Neither the first stage nor the second stage fights opinions for a long time, but the conclusions are automatically drawn as a result of the consensus of all members while the differences in opinions and values are adjusted. If the result is insufficient, the previous process may be repeated twice or more. Looking at the output table deepens the understanding of the theme itself and the mutual understanding of the participants. If all the keywords for the number of conference participants obtained as a result are ranked together, a sufficiently effective conclusion should be obtained. In addition, there is not one conclusion but a plurality of ranked conclusions are arranged, so that a flexible and persuasive conclusion can be obtained in consideration of the result.

  In the first half of the meeting, the keywords studied by each meeting participant are summarized in a list in a ranked state. If the conference proceeds immediately to the latter half of the conference, the keyword with the highest ranking may be displayed in the work area 62 on the display of each conference participant without outputting the list. However, for example, in the above-described embodiment, there are cases where overlapping keywords are included in the eight keywords with the highest ranking. In this case, it is preferable to set another keyword as a target for the latter half of the meeting. Therefore, for example, the conference progress person causes the computer to output a list as shown in FIG. 10 and selects an appropriate keyword using a mouse or the like.

  For example, the keyword ranking selection means 33 accepts a keyword ranking change command in a state where the list of FIG. 10 is displayed. Thereafter, the clicked keyword is moved to the top of the list. Subsequently, the keyword input control means 26 refers to the list, transfers the first ranked keyword group to the terminal devices of all conference participants, and arranges them in the display frame in the work area 62. To do. The manager can also operate the keyword ranking selecting means 33 at a management meeting, for example. For example, when a manager collects opinions of major managers, first, the list obtained at the first half of the meeting is viewed. The manager can also grasp each manager's attitude to the theme. After that, you can select any keyword group that you want to hear the opinions of all managers and make them the target of the second half of the meeting. Since the computer conference system of the present invention can execute such an operation instantly, it can efficiently and effectively hold a conference.

FIG. 14 and the following are flowcharts of the operation of the computer conference apparatus 10 described above.
An embodiment of a computer program will be described with reference to these drawings. In addition, about the part already demonstrated in Example 2 etc., duplication is avoided and description is abbreviate | omitted suitably.

FIG. 14 is an operation flowchart of the keyword input control means 26, the selection area display means 27, and the keyword selection control means 28 in the previous stage of the conference.
A mode in which a conference participant inputs a theme from a terminal device and then inputs a keyword is referred to as a keyword input mode. In step S11, an input of a conference theme is accepted using the screen of FIG. In addition, since the theme of a meeting is common to all the meeting participants, for example, it is preferable that the theme has already been input by the meeting organizer before the start of the meeting. In step S12, the input conference theme is displayed.

  In step S13, the screen of FIG. 6 is displayed and the keyword input mode is started. Here, in order to limit the input time of all keywords to, for example, about 10 minutes, the conference progress control means 32 starts a timer T. For example, a clock diagram (not shown) may be displayed on the screen. This is because the process of the former stage is completed by the time when the process of the latter stage should be started. Therefore, for example, the conference progress control means 32 may calculate and control the time schedule so that the input of the start time of the subsequent process is obtained and the previous process is completed by that time. Therefore, it is preferable to notify the preceding process start time, and to display, for example, the keyword input mode end time, the keyword selection mode end time, and the keyword ranking mode end time with sounds and images as the process proceeds. . In addition, if the computer prompts the user to input keywords one after another and the progress is prompted, there is an effect that the contemplation work can be concentrated. Accordingly, necessary data is transferred and aggregated from all the terminal devices immediately before starting the subsequent processing. In the flowchart shown in the figure, a portion indicated by T is a preferred timing for outputting a sound or an image.

  In step S14, the keyword input control means 26 calculates the keyword input position. In step S15, the keyword input position is designated by highlighting. In step S16, keyword data input is accepted. In step S17, the input keyword data is displayed. For example, when the display order is determined in advance from the upper left display frame to the lower right display frame of the work area 62 and the keyword is input, the input position is automatically moved to the next display frame. Good. For keyword input, not only a keyboard but also input by voice recognition is suitable. This computer conferencing device has a detailed work procedure and is intended to make the conference proceed quickly, so that the process proceeds automatically without making the conference participants aware of computer operations as much as possible. It is preferred that

  In step S18, it is determined whether or not the keyword input mode is finished. If a keyword is entered in all display frames, the result of this determination is yes. At that time, the process proceeds to step S19, and when no, the process returns to step S14 to repeat the keyword input process. In step S19, the keyword selection mode is started. The selection area display means 27 displays a screen as shown in FIG. In step S20, the keyword selection control means 28 calculates a keyword destination. In step S21, the keyword destination is displayed by highlighting. High brightness display and blink display are suitable. In step S22, keyword selection is accepted. When the keyword is clicked with the mouse, in step S23, the keyword is moved. In step S24, the keyword selection control means 28 determines whether or not the keyword selection mode has ended. When all the keywords have moved to the selection area 45, the result of this determination is yes. At that time, the process of FIG. 14 is terminated. If no, the process returns to step S20 to repeat the keyword selection process.

FIG. 15 is an operation flowchart of the keyword ranking unit 29.
In step S31, the keyword ranking mode is started. The upper screen of FIG. 10 is displayed. Here, ranking is performed while the keywords divided into three ranks in the selection area 45 are returned to the work area 62. In step S32, the keyword ranking unit 29 calculates a keyword destination. In step S33, the ranking of keywords is displayed using a pop-up. In step S34, a selection frame for designating a keyword is displayed in a highlighted manner. In step S35, selection of a keyword with a mouse or the like is accepted. In step S36, the selected keyword is moved. In step S37, it is determined whether or not the keyword ranking mode has ended. If all the keywords are moved from the selection area 45 to the work area 62, the result of this determination is yes. In that case, the process proceeds to step S38. If no, the process proceeds to step S32 and the ranking process is repeated. In step S38, keywords and ranking information are transmitted in order to convey the ranking results to the terminal devices of other participants. In the case of a web server, keywords and ranking information are aggregated inside the web server, and the results are viewed by each terminal device.

FIG. 16 is an operation flowchart of the ranking result transmission means 30.
With the processing in this figure, the processing in the previous stage is terminated, and the processing in the subsequent stage is started. The lower screen of FIG. 10 is displayed. In step S41, the table output means 31 starts a list creation mode. Each terminal device transcribes the conference participant name in the total area 64 in step S42. At this time, the conference participant name may be a real name or a symbol. In step S43, a keyword transcription source is selected. The output result of the terminal device of a certain conference participant is selected as a data transfer target. In step S44, the keyword transfer destination is calculated. It is determined in which part of the total area 64 the data is to be transferred. In step S45, the keyword is transcribed. Each keyword is posted in the corresponding ranking column.

  In step S46, the table output means 31 determines whether or not the transfer for one person has been completed. If it is determined that all of the keywords for one person have been transferred, the result of this determination is yes. In that case, the process proceeds to step S47 to select another participant. If no, the process proceeds to step S42, and keyword transcription is repeated. When another participant is selected in step S47, it is determined in step S48 whether or not the table output means 31 has finished transcription of all participants. If the result of this determination is yes, the process proceeds to step S49. If no, the process moves to the process of step S42 to move to another participant's keyword transfer. In step S49, the list creation mode ends. This completes the list of FIG. Before creating the list, keywords and ranking information are transmitted from each terminal device. At this time, it is preferable to display a message “I will send keywords and ranking information to other conference participants” and wait for an input of “OK”.

FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the keyword ranking processing operation at the subsequent stage.
In advance, the keyword input control means 26 determines the number of each conference participant in the list of FIG. One keyword is listed in the work area 62. In this example, since there are eight conference participants, eight keywords are displayed in the work area 62. This is the best number of participants in the conference, but five people are allowed. Further, for the latter stage, the number of display frames in the work area 62 may be increased so that there are 10 or more conference participants.

  In step S51, the keyword input control means 26 starts a keyword acquisition mode. In step S52, the keyword selection control means 28 calculates the keyword input position on the work area 62 shown in FIG. In step S53, a keyword input position is designated. In step S54, the list shown in FIG. 10 is referred to. In step S55, any one of the ranking keywords is selected. In step S56, the selected keyword is input to the designated display frame. In step S57, the keyword selection control means 28 determines whether or not all participants have been entered. No. of FIG. When all eight keywords of 1 are displayed in the work area 62, the result of this determination is yes. In that case, the process proceeds to step S58, and in the case of no, the process returns to the process in step S54 to repeat the operation.

  In step S58, keyword selection processing is executed. This is the same process as steps S19 to S24 already described in FIG. In step S59, keyword ranking processing is executed. This is the process from step S31 to step S37 already described in FIG. In step S60, the keyword ranking unit 29 starts keyword scoring processing. In step S61, the position of the keyword is detected. Ranking information is previously assigned as attribute information to each display frame of the work area 62. The keyword ranking unit 29 reads this information and calculates the evaluation score of the keyword in step S62. In step S63, an evaluation score is assigned to the attribute value of the keyword. If the evaluation score is fixed as shown in FIG. 12, the evaluation score of each keyword is determined when the keyword moves from the selection area 45 to the work area 62. This may be used as ranking information. Evaluation points are used for the subsequent calculation. 1, no. Information indicating a ranking such as 2 is unnecessary. After this, it moves to the work of creating a list. At this time, data of all participants in the conference must be collected. Therefore, it is preferable that the conference progress control means 31 notifies by sound or image so that the timings can be matched. Thereby, the appropriate schedule management of a meeting can be performed.

FIG. 18 is a flowchart of a list creation process using the subsequent process.
When the process shown in FIG. 17 is executed for each terminal device of the conference participant, the results are totaled. In step S71, the table output means 31 starts the tabulation creation mode. In step S72, one keyword to be counted is selected. In step S73, the evaluation points of all the participants for the keyword are totaled to obtain a total evaluation point. In step S74, it is determined whether or not all keywords have been selected. If the result of this determination is yes, the process proceeds to step S75. If no, the process proceeds to step S72 and the next keyword is selected. In step S75, the keywords are sorted in the overall evaluation score order. Thereby, keywords with a high overall evaluation score are listed in order from the top of the list. In step S76, the list shown in FIG. 13 is output. This is displayed on the terminal devices of all conference participants. This completes the computer conference described in the first and second embodiments.
