As a result, the organizer of the conference "Mary Smith" is registered in the participant management unit 44, and the user ID "user001", the external service setting ID "connect1a", and the e-mail address are added to the participant management information list shown in FIG. "Office1@office.example.com" is associated and saved.

In step S84 of FIG. 18, for example, in the procedure shown in FIG. 23, a process of adding a participant selected from the participant candidates 1052 to the participant management information list of FIG. 8 is performed. FIG. 23 is a flowchart of an example of a process of adding a participant selected from the candidate participants to the participant management information.

In step S110, the participant management unit 44 of the electronic blackboard device 14 receives the user ID of the participant selected from the participant candidates 1052. In step S112, the participant management unit 44 inquires the external service setting information unit 20 of the external service setting information of the user ID. Proceeding to step S114, the participant management unit 44 participates in the participant management information list of FIG. 8 selected from the participant candidates 1052 based on the participant's external service setting information selected from the participant candidates 1052. Add a person.

For example, when "Kudoh" is selected from the participant candidates 1052, the participant management unit 44 inquires the external service setting information unit 20 for the external service setting information corresponding to the user ID "user006".

The participant management unit 44 uses the external service setting information "connect6a" corresponding to the user ID "user006" returned from the external service setting information unit 20, and is an e-mail address of the user ID "office6" from the user service 30. Acquire "office6@office.example.com". Then, the participant management unit 44 can add the user ID "user006", the external service setting information "connect6a", and the e-mail address "office6@office.example.com" to the participant management information list of FIG.

By such a procedure, in the present embodiment, the information (shared site information) associated with the shared site used for the conference by the electronic blackboard device 14 and the participants of the conference is stored, and the selected sharing is performed. The conference participants associated with the site are used as participant candidates 1052. As a result, participants who have attended in the past in the conference using the shared site can be proposed as the candidate 1052 of the participant, so that it is possible to reduce the trouble of identifying the participant of the conference and the information of the participant of the identified conference. Can be used to provide various services related to meetings, such as sending e-mails of the contents of the board and notifications about meetings.

Further, in the present embodiment, it becomes easy to put a participant who has not been authenticated by the IC card 700 into a participating state and a participant who does not have the IC card 700 into a participating state.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, the participation corresponding to the selected shared site is performed by associating the participants of the conference with the shared site as the shared site information based on the usage information of the electronic blackboard device 14.

Further, the user information server device 10 has a configuration including an external service setting information unit 20, a user information unit 22, and a shared site management unit 24.

The screen control unit 43 of the electronic blackboard device 14 can realize the same function as the shared site management unit 42 of FIG. 4 by using the shared site management unit 24 of the user information server device 10. For example, the electronic whiteboard device 14 can access the shared site service 32 via the user information server device 10 without acquiring, for example, an authentication token for an external service from the user information server device 10.

Further, the information processing system 1 may have a functional configuration as shown in FIG. 25, for example. FIG. 25 is a functional configuration diagram of an example of the information processing system according to the present embodiment. The information processing system 1 of FIG. 25 has a configuration in which a number grasping unit 49 is added to the shared site management unit 42 of FIG. The number grasping unit 49 grasps the number of participants in the conference room from the captured image of the conference room taken by the camera 660. The shared site management unit 42 is a participant when the number of participants added to the participant management information list in FIG. 8 is smaller than the number of participants in the conference room grasped by the number grasping unit 49. The proposal screen 1050 is displayed, and when the same or more, the participant proposal screen 1050 is not displayed. When displaying the participant proposal screen 1050, the number of participants added to the participant management information list in FIG. 8 and the number of participants in the conference room grasped by the number grasping unit 49 The difference (insufficient number of people) may be displayed.

In the information processing system 1 of FIG. 25, for example, the processing of the participant proposal of FIG. 18 in the information processing system 1 of FIG. 4 is changed to the processing of the participant proposal as shown in FIG. FIG. 26 is a flowchart of an example of the processing of the participant proposal. FIG. 27 is an image diagram of an example of the UI displayed on the electronic blackboard device.

In step S120, the electronic blackboard device 14 acquires the current number of participants from the participant management information list of FIG. Proceeding to step S122, the electronic blackboard device 14 acquires the number of participants in the conference room grasped by the number grasping unit 49. Proceeding to step S124, the electronic blackboard device 14 determines whether or not the current number of participants is smaller than the number of participants in the conference room grasped by the number grasping unit 49.

If the current number of participants is smaller than the number of participants in the conference room grasped by the number grasping unit 49, the electronic blackboard device 14 proceeds to step S126 and displays the participant proposal screen 1050 of FIG. 27. In the participant proposal screen 1050 of FIG. 27, an insufficient number of people such as "One participant is small" is additionally displayed on the participant proposal screen 1050 of FIG. As a result, the user can easily grasp the number of people to be added on the participant proposal screen 1050 of FIG. 27. The processing of steps S128 and S130 after step S126 is the same as that of steps S84 and S86 of FIG.

If the current number of participants is the same as or greater than the number of participants in the conference room grasped by the number grasping unit 49, the electronic blackboard device 14 has no participants to be added to the participant management information list. Therefore, the process of steps S126 and S128 may be skipped so that the participant proposal screen 1050 of FIG. 27 is not displayed.

Due to the configuration using the number grasping unit 49, the participant proposal screen 1050 is displayed only when there are participants in the conference room who are not recognized as participants in the conference by the participant management unit 44, so that all participants participate. It is possible to prevent the participant proposal screen 1050 from being displayed even though the person has already been recognized.

In addition, when the user is recognized by the electronic blackboard device 14 in a meeting (sudden meeting) in which the schedule is not registered in the schedule service, or the schedule schedule information registered in the schedule service is not included in the planned participants. In order to authenticate the user with the electronic blackboard device 14, it is basically necessary to accept information such as an ID and a password from the user.
