Further, the plurality of modules may be executed by one computer, or one module may be executed by a plurality of computers by a computer in a distributed or parallel environment. It should be noted that one module may include another module. In addition, hereinafter, "connection" is used not only for physical connection but also for logical connection (data transfer, instruction, reference relationship between data, etc.). "Predetermined" means that it is determined before the target process, not only before the process according to the present embodiment starts, but also after the process according to the present embodiment starts. However, if it is before the target process, it is used with the intention that it is determined according to the situation / state at that time or according to the situation / state up to that point. When there are a plurality of "predetermined values", they may be different values, or two or more values (including, of course, all values) may be the same. Further, the description "if A, do B" is used to mean "determine whether or not it is A, and if it is determined to be A, do B". However, this excludes cases where it is not necessary to determine whether or not it is A. Further, when a thing is listed such as "A, B, C", it is an example list unless otherwise specified, and includes a case where only one of them is selected (for example, only A).
In addition, a system or device is configured by connecting a plurality of computers, hardware, devices, etc. by communication means such as a network (including a one-to-one correspondence communication connection), and one computer, hardware, device, etc. It also includes cases where it is realized by such means. "Device" and "system" are used as synonymous terms. Of course, the "system" does not include anything that is nothing more than a social "mechanism" (social system) that is an artificial arrangement.
In addition, for each process by each module or when multiple processes are performed in the module, the target information is read from the storage device, and after the processes are performed, the process results are written to the storage device. be. Therefore, the description of reading from the storage device before processing and writing to the storage device after processing may be omitted. The storage device here may include a hard disk, a RAM (Random Access Memory), an external storage medium, a storage device via a communication line, a register in a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and the like.

The information processing device according to the present embodiment is used for a conference system, and transmits materials related to the conference to the terminals of the participants, and communicates as shown in the example of FIG. It has an interface module 105, a conference processing module 110, and a data storage module 140. The meeting may be a meeting in which a plurality of people gather to discuss, and includes a meeting, a consultation, a discussion, a meeting, a meeting, and the like. Also, the meeting does not have to be gathered in one place, and the participants may be dispersed in remote areas.
The user terminal 150A and the user terminal 150X are used by the conference participants. In this example, two user terminals, a user terminal 150A and a user terminal 150X, are illustrated, but the number may be three or more. Further, the user terminal 150A will be described as a user terminal already connected to the information processing device 100, and the user terminal 150X will be described as a user terminal that has made a connection request to the information processing device 100.

The communication interface module 105 is connected to the conference processing module 110, and is also connected to the communication interface module 155 of the user terminal 150A and the communication interface module 155 of the user terminal 150X via the communication line 195.

The connection processing module 115 receives a connection request from the user terminal 150 of the conference participant and performs connection processing with the information processing apparatus 100. The connection process here includes the process of joining the conference. Therefore, the user terminal 150 already connected to the information processing apparatus 100 is participating in the conference.
The load state determination module 120 measures the load of the information processing apparatus 100. As the load, for example, the CPU processing speed, the communication speed, the reading processing speed of the storage device such as a hard disk, the number of user terminals 150 participating in the conference (the number of user terminals 150 already connected to the information processing device 100), and the like. The data size of the material is applicable.

When the allocation processing module 125 receives a connection request from the user terminal 150X (first terminal) of a conference participant, the allocation processing module 125 distributes materials related to the conference to the user terminal 150X according to the state of the information processing apparatus 100. A user terminal 150A (second terminal) already connected to the information processing apparatus 100 is assigned as the device to be processed. Here, the "material" includes a document used for the meeting. A document (also called a file or content) is text data, numerical data, graphic data, image data, video data, audio data, etc., or a combination thereof, and is a target for storage, editing, searching, etc., and is a system or use. Those that can be exchanged as individual units between persons, including those similar to these. Specifically, it includes a document created by a document creation program, an image read by an image reader (scanner or the like), a Web page, and the like. Further, "already connected to the information processing device 100" includes the concepts of "currently connected to the information processing device 100" and "participating in a conference".

Further, the allocation processing module 125 may allocate the already connected user terminal 150A when the load of the information processing apparatus 100 is larger than or greater than a predetermined threshold value. That is, when the information processing apparatus 100 has no margin, the user terminal 150A distributes the material related to the conference to the user terminal 150X. For example, when the number of user terminals 150 already connected to the information processing apparatus 100 is larger than or greater than a predetermined threshold value, the user terminal 150A is assigned to the user terminal 150X.
Further, the allocation processing module 125 may perform a process of allocating according to the load of the user terminals 150 among the plurality of user terminals 150 (user terminals 150 group already connected to the information processing device 100). .. Specifically, when the load of the user terminal 150A is equal to or less than or less than a predetermined threshold value, the allocation process may be performed.
Further, the allocation processing module 125 may limit the number of user terminals 150X to be allocated according to the performance of the user terminal 150. Here, the "performance of the user terminal 150" includes, for example, CPU processing capacity, communication speed, and the like.
Further, when the load of the information processing device 100 is equal to or less than or less than a predetermined threshold value, the allocation processing module 125 allocates the information processing device 100 as a device for distributing materials related to the conference to the user terminal 150X. May be good. That is, in a state where the information processing device 100 has a margin (for example, a state in which the number of user terminals 150 already connected is small), the information processing device 100 distributes materials related to the conference to the user terminal 150X.

The distribution module 130 is connected to the data storage module 140. The distribution module 130 distributes materials related to the conference to the terminals of the conference participants (for example, the user terminal 150A).
Specifically, when the information processing device 100 is assigned by the allocation processing module 125, the distribution module 130 distributes the material when there is a material distribution request (also referred to as a material acquisition request) from the user terminal 150X. do.
Then, the distribution module 130 transmits the information necessary for connecting to the user terminal 150A assigned by the allocation processing module 125 to the user terminal 150X. Here, the "information necessary for connection" is at least the information necessary for the user terminal 150X to distribute the materials related to the conference from the user terminal 150A. For example, the user terminal 150A serves as a server and the user terminal. Information for the 150X to be a client to the server, and specifically, there is a terminal ID (MAC address, etc.) of the user terminal 150A.
Further, the distribution module 130 transmits information necessary for connecting to the information processing apparatus 100 assigned by the allocation processing module 125 to the user terminal 150X.

Further, when the user terminal 150A already assigned by the allocation processing module 125 is absent, the allocation processing module 125 may allocate a third user terminal 150 other than the absent user terminal 150A. Here, "when the user terminal 150A is absent" indicates a state in which the user terminal 150A is away from the conference. For example, the user terminal 150A has a power cutoff or a communication cutoff (a state in which communication is not possible). In the case of (including), the user terminal 150A may be in a state of not participating in the conference.
For example, the case where the information processing apparatus 100 detects that the user terminal 150A is absent may be regarded as the case where the user terminal 150A is absent.
Further, the case where the allocation request is received from the user terminal 150X may be the case where the user terminal 150A is absent. That is, it is a case where the user terminal 150X detects that the user terminal 150A is absent. At this point, the user terminal 150X is already connected to the information processing apparatus 100, and the user terminal 150A is assigned to the user terminal 150X. Then, the user terminal 150A has not delivered the materials related to the conference.
Then, the distribution module 130 may again transmit the information necessary for connecting to the third user terminal 150 assigned by the allocation processing module 125 to the user terminal 150X.

Further, the allocation processing module 125 may allocate the user terminal 150 having a high possibility of distribution to the user terminal 150X.
For example, the allocation processing module 125 may allocate a plurality of user terminals 150 as the user terminals 150 having a high possibility of distribution.
Further, for example, the allocation processing module 125 may allocate a user terminal 150 other than the presenter's user terminal 150 as the user terminal 150 having a high possibility of distribution.
Then, the distribution module 130 may transmit the information necessary for connecting to the plurality of user terminals 150 assigned by the allocation processing module 125 to the user terminal 150X.

The material processing module 135 is connected to the material storage module 140. The material processing module 135 processes materials related to the conference. It is a process for materials necessary for holding a meeting, and includes, for example, page turning (page turning) processing, cursor movement processing, enlargement / reduction processing, writing processing, and the like. Requests for these processes correspond to requests other than requests for distribution of materials.
The material storage module 140 is connected to the distribution module 130 and the material processing module 135 of the conference processing module 110. The material storage module 140 stores materials related to the conference, and passes the materials related to the conference to the material distribution module 130 and the material processing module 135.

The connection request module 165 transmits a connection request to the information processing device 100 according to the operation of the user who is a conference participant, and connects to the information processing device 100. That is, the process of joining the conference is performed. The connection request for joining the conference is made to the information processing apparatus 100, but the distribution request of the material related to the conference is not always made to the information processing apparatus 100, and another user terminal 150 is assigned. In that case, the assigned user terminal 150 is requested to distribute the materials related to the conference.
The receiving module 170 is connected to the data storage module 185. The receiving module 170 receives the material related to the conference transmitted from the information processing apparatus 100 or another user terminal 150, and stores it in the material storage module 185.

The material processing request module 175 transmits a material distribution request to the user terminal 150 assigned by the information processing apparatus 100. For example, when the user terminal 150A is assigned to the user terminal 150X, the material processing request module 175 of the user terminal 150X transmits a material distribution request to the user terminal 150A.
Further, the material processing request module 175 may transmit a request other than the material distribution request to the information processing apparatus 100.

In step S302, the user terminal 350 joins the conference according to the operation of the user 340.
In step S304, the information processing apparatus 300 connects to the user terminal 350 (the user terminal 350 is made to participate in the conference).
That is, in the process of participating in the conference, the information processing apparatus 300 performs the same processing (the same processing regardless of the user terminal 350) for each user terminal 350.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of processing in which the information processing apparatus 300 distributes materials to all conference participants. That is, it is a processing example of distributing the material when the conference participation processing is performed by the flowchart shown in the example of FIG.
The information processing apparatus 300 stores materials A: 310 and materials B: 320 related to the conference. At the meeting, when the distribution request of the document A: 310 is received from each user terminal 350 (user terminal 350A, user terminal 350B, user terminal 350C ... user terminal 350X in FIG. 4), the information processing apparatus 300 receives a request. Distribute the material. In this case, access may be concentrated on the information processing apparatus 300. For example, when the presenter selects a material, the information processing device 300 is accessed (delivery request) from all the user terminals 350, so that the responsiveness deteriorates when there are many user terminals 350. For example, it occurs when the first material is selected at the start of a meeting or when switching to another material during the meeting.
Specifically, the following processing is performed.
(1) Each user terminal 350 participates in the conference by processing the flowchart shown in the example of FIG.
(2) Select document A: 310 on the user terminal 350A for the presenter.
(3) The information processing apparatus 300 notifies all user terminals 350 that the document A: 310 has been selected.
(3) The user terminal 350 requests the information processing apparatus 300 to distribute the document A: 310 (for example, in page units).
(4) The information processing apparatus 300 responds to the delivery request. That is, the document A: 310 (for example, the first page) is delivered to the user terminal 350 that has requested the delivery. Here, the concentration of access occurs.
The same thing can occur when the presenter switches the material from the material A: 310 to the material B: 320.
Further, when the presenter (user terminal 350A) selects the material first, the user terminal 350 is notified of the material at the time of connection and requests the information processing apparatus 300 for distribution.

By the process shown in the example of FIG. 3, the participants of the conference are associated with the user terminal 350 used by the participants. For that purpose, for example, a conference participant table 500 is generated. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a data structure of the conference participant table 500. The conference participant table 500 has a participant ID column 510 and a terminal ID column 520. The participant ID column 510 stores a participant ID (IDentification, information for uniquely identifying a participant in the present embodiment). The terminal ID column 520 stores the terminal ID of the user terminal 150 used by the participant (information for uniquely identifying the user terminal 150 in the present embodiment).

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a processing example of material distribution. That is, an example of processing material distribution in a system in which the information processing device 300 distributes materials to all conference participants (user terminals 350) (a conference system not equipped with this embodiment) is shown. ..
In step S602, the user terminal 350A selects the document A: 310 according to the operation of the user 340A. Therefore, the user terminal 350A notifies the information processing apparatus 300 of the material ID.
In step S604, the information processing apparatus 300 notifies the user terminal 350 of the material ID. Although the user terminal 350A is also notified, the processing can be performed without distinguishing it from other user terminals 350, and the processing can be simplified.
In step S606, the user terminal 350A transmits a material acquisition request to the information processing apparatus 300.
In step S608, the user terminal 350 transmits a material acquisition request to the information processing apparatus 300.
In step S610, the information processing apparatus 300 responds to the data acquisition request.
In step S612, the user terminal 350A acquires and displays the material.
In step S614, the user terminal 350 acquires and displays the material.

In addition, in order to manage the materials in the meeting, for example, the material table 700 is provided. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a data structure of the data table 700. The material table 700 has a material ID column 710 and a material column 720. The material ID column 710 stores information (material ID) for uniquely identifying the material in the present embodiment. The material column 720 stores the material of the material ID.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing a processing example according to the present embodiment.
If the information processing device 100 is under load when the user terminal 150X is connected to the information processing device 100, the already connected user terminal 150A is assigned as a material distribution server, and the distribution server (user terminal 150A) is assigned to the user terminal 150X. Get the materials from. Operation commands other than the delivery request communicate with the information processing apparatus 100 as before.
As a result, the access load of the information processing apparatus 100 is reduced, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in responsiveness at the time of acquiring materials.
Further, as a result, it is possible to prevent a decrease in responsiveness of transmission / reception of operation commands performed after acquisition of materials performed via the information processing device 100.

In the example of FIG. 8, the following processing is performed at the start of the conference.
(1) Each user terminal 150 participates in the conference. Specifically, it is connected to the information processing apparatus 100.
(2) The information processing apparatus 100 determines the load state (for example, the number of connected user terminals 150, the data size of the material, etc.), and if the load state is high, the user terminal 150X that participates after that. As the distribution request destination of the material of, another user terminal 150A is assigned to the distribution server by the allocation processing module 125, and the user terminal 150X is notified. For example, the allocation order may be determined in the order of connection to the information processing apparatus 100.
(3) The user terminal 150X is connected to the assigned user terminal 150A.
(4) Document A: 810 is selected in the user terminal 150A which is the presenter terminal.
(5) The information processing apparatus 100 notifies all user terminals 150 that the document A: 810 has been selected.
(6) The user terminal 150 makes a distribution request (page unit) for document A: 810 to the assigned distribution server.
(7) The information processing apparatus 100 and the distribution server (user terminal 150A) respond to the distribution request by the distribution module 130 and the distribution module 180. That is, the document A: 810 (for example, the first page) is delivered to the user terminal 150 that has requested the delivery.
If the distribution server itself has not acquired the document A: 810, it waits for the distribution request from the user terminal 150X and responds as soon as it can acquire the document A: 810.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a processing example according to the present embodiment.
In step S902, the user terminal 150 joins the conference according to the operation of the user 840.
In step S904, the information processing apparatus 100 connects to the user terminal 150 (the user terminal 150 is made to participate in the conference).
In step S906, the load state determination module 120 determines whether or not the information processing apparatus 100 is in a high load state (for example, the number of connected user terminals 150 exceeds the threshold value), and if the information processing device 100 is in a high load state, the process proceeds to step S908. In other cases, the process proceeds to step S914.

In step S908, the allocation processing module 125 lists the distribution server candidates having the smallest number of distribution destinations, and allocates the one with the earliest connection time to the distribution server.
In step S910, the user terminal 150 connects to the assigned distribution server.
In step S912, the connection is made with the delivery destination.

In step S914, the allocation processing module 125 allocates the information processing device 100 to the distribution server of the connection source client (that is, the information processing device 100 becomes a distribution server candidate), and notifies the user terminal 150.
The terminal ID of the distribution server (information processing device 100) is transmitted to the user terminal 150 in step S914, but since the connection with the information processing device 100 has already been completed in step S904, steps S910 and S912 are performed. No processing is required.

For example, the distribution server allocation table 1000 is generated by the flowchart shown in the example of FIG. FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a data structure of the distribution server allocation table 1000. The distribution server allocation table 1000 has a terminal ID column 1010, a connection date / time column 1020, a distribution server allocation column 1030, and a distribution destination column 1040. The terminal ID column 1010 stores the terminal ID of the user terminal 150. The connection date / time column 1020 stores the date / time (year, month, day, hour, minute, second, second or less, or a combination thereof) when the user terminal 150 is connected to the information processing device 100. There is. The distribution server allocation column 1030 stores a distribution server (information processing device 100 or another user terminal 150) that distributes materials to the user terminal 150. In the distribution destination column 1040, the user terminal 150 serves as a distribution server, and the user terminal 150 as a distribution destination is stored.
In the example of FIG. 10, in the first to third lines, the user terminal 150A, the user terminal 150B, and the user terminal 150C indicate that the information processing apparatus 100 is assigned as a distribution server. The first line shows that the user terminal 150A is the distribution server of the user terminal 150X. On the contrary, in the last line, the user terminal 150X indicates that the user terminal 150A is assigned as a distribution server.

FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing a processing example according to the present embodiment. An example of the allocation status will be described.
An example is shown in which the number of user terminals 150 already connected to the information processing device 100 is used to determine the load of the information processing device 100, and the threshold value is set to five. That is, up to five user terminals 150 allocate the information processing device 100 as a distribution server, and the sixth and subsequent user terminals 150 are other user terminals 150 (user terminals 150 already connected to the information processing device 100). ) Is assigned as a distribution server.
(1) Up to the fifth threshold value, the information processing apparatus 100 is assigned as a distribution server as shown in the distribution server allocation table 1000 shown in the example of FIG. 11A.
(2) When the threshold value is exceeded, among the distribution server candidates (user terminal 150A, user terminal 150B, user terminal 150C, user terminal 150D, user terminal 150E), the one with the smallest number of distribution destinations is listed, and among them. , Assign the one with the earliest connection date and time as the distribution server.
For example, as the user terminal 150F, a user terminal 150 (user terminal 150A, user terminal 150B, user terminal 150C, user terminal 150D, user terminal 150E) having 0 distribution destinations (delivery destination column 1040) as a distribution server candidate is a candidate. Then, the user terminal 150A having the earliest connection date and time is assigned as the distribution server.
As the user terminal 150G, the user terminal 150 (user terminal 150B, user terminal 150C, user terminal 150D, user terminal 150E) whose distribution destination (delivery destination column 1040) is 0 as a distribution server candidate is a candidate, and the connection is made among them. The user terminal 150B with the earliest date and time is assigned as the distribution server. The distribution server allocation table 1000 shown in the example of FIG. 11B is obtained.
Hereinafter, the allocation process is performed in the same manner.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a processing example according to the present embodiment. In this processing example, the user terminal 150A on the left end and the user terminal 150 in the third row show an example in which the user terminal 150 on the right end is assigned as a distribution server. Further, when the user terminal 150, which is a distribution server, has not acquired the target material even though the material acquisition request has been received (when the target material is not stored in the user terminal 150). A processing example of is also shown.

In step S1202, the user terminal 150A selects the document A: 810 according to the operation of the user 840A. Material A: The material ID of 810 (which may include the page ID of the target page) is transmitted to the information processing apparatus 100.
In step S1204, the information processing apparatus 100 notifies the user terminal 150 of the material ID.
In step S1206, the user terminal 150A transmits a material acquisition request (including a material ID) to the assigned distribution server.

In step S1208, the user terminal 150 transmits a material acquisition request (including a material ID) to the assigned distribution server.
In steps S1206 and S1208, the material acquisition request is transmitted to the user terminal 150 (the user terminal 150 at the right end), which is the distribution server, but the information processing device serves as the distribution server according to the flowchart shown in the example of FIG. When 100 is assigned, a material acquisition request is transmitted to the information processing apparatus 100.
In step S1210, the distribution server determines whether or not the relevant material has been acquired, and if it has been acquired, proceeds to step S1214, and if not, proceeds to step S1212 (material acquisition request to the information processing apparatus 100 (material ID). Includes)).

In step S1212, the information processing apparatus 100 responds to the data acquisition request. That is, the document A: 810 is transmitted to the distribution server.
In step S1214, the distribution server transmits the corresponding document A: 810 to the requesting user terminal 150 (user terminal 150A and the user terminal 150 in the third row).
In step S1216, the user terminal 150A acquires and displays the document A: 810.
In step S1218, the user terminal 150 acquires and displays the document A: 810.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a processing example according to the present embodiment. It shows a processing example of an operation command (an example of a request other than a data acquisition request). In this processing example, the distribution server is not involved in the distribution of the operation command. That is, the user terminal 150 and the information processing device 100 directly transmit and receive. This is because the transmission / reception of operation commands does not impose a load on the information processing apparatus 100 as compared with the distribution of materials.
In step S1302, the user terminal 150A operates the document A: 810 according to the operation of the user 840A. Then, an operation command (including an operation type, a document ID, a page number, etc.) is transmitted to the information processing apparatus 100.
In step S1304, the information processing apparatus 100 notifies the user terminal 150 of the operation command.
In step S1306, if the user terminal 150 displays the corresponding material, the user terminal 150 executes an operation command. As a result, the display of the user terminal 150A operated by the presenter is synchronized with the display of the other user terminal 150.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a processing example according to the present embodiment. When a participant other than the presenter wants to display the document B: 820, the processing example when it is not necessary to synchronize the display on the other user terminal 150 is shown. That is, it shows an example in which a participant personally displays the document B: 820 only on his / her own user terminal 150. In this case, since it is not necessary to synchronize with each user terminal 150, it is unlikely that access to the information processing apparatus 100 will be concentrated. Therefore, in the case of a material acquisition request that does not need to synchronize the display, the information processing device 100 is directly accessed (the material acquisition request is sent to the information processing device 100) instead of the user terminal 150 that is the distribution server. ing.
That is, as shown in the example of FIG. 12, when the user terminal 150 is notified of the instruction to acquire the material from the information processing apparatus 100 (for example, the process of step S1204), the user is notified. The terminal 150 transmits a material acquisition request to the corresponding distribution server (which may be the user terminal 150). However, as shown in the example of FIG. 14, when the material acquisition request is transmitted by the operation of the user (participant) of the user terminal 150 (when the material is transmitted without the instruction that the material should be acquired from the information processing apparatus 100). That is, in the case of voluntary transmission), the material acquisition request is directly transmitted to the information processing apparatus 100 instead of the distribution server (user terminal 150) associated with the user terminal 150.

In step S1402, the material B: 820 is selected according to the operation of the user 840, and the user terminal 150 transmits the material acquisition request to the information processing apparatus 100.
In step S1404, the information processing apparatus 100 responds to the data acquisition request.
In step S1406, the user terminal 150 acquires and displays the document B: 820.

FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram showing a processing example according to the present embodiment. A specific example of the process shown in the example of FIG. 14 is shown.
When the user terminal 150 for participants selects a material different from the user terminal 150A for presenters, a processing example of inquiring to the information processing apparatus 100 is shown. This is because it is unlikely that the user terminal 150, which is a distribution server, holds materials other than the materials selected by the presenter, and when the user terminal 150 for participants independently selects other materials, This is because it is not the time when access is concentrated on the information processing device 100.
The user terminal 150 for participants can refer to other materials asynchronously with the user terminal 150A for presenters.
As a result, even if the assigned distribution server does not hold the corresponding material, the material can be acquired.

In the user terminal 150A for the presenter, the material A: 810 is selected, but the material B: 820 is not selected. That is, the material A: 810 is stored in the user terminal 150A, but the material B: 820 is not acquired. Here, when the user terminal 150X voluntarily selects the material B: 820 by the operation of the user 840X, the material acquisition request is transmitted to the information processing apparatus 100. Then, the document B: 820 is acquired from the information processing apparatus 100.

Further, the allocation processing module 125 of the information processing apparatus 100 may perform the allocation processing according to the load of the user terminal 150 serving as the distribution server when allocating the distribution server. Further, the number of units to be allocated may be limited according to the performance of the user terminal 150 serving as the distribution server. For the performance and load of the user terminal 150, for example, the conference participant table 1600 may be used. FIG. 16 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a data structure of the conference participant table 1600. The conference participant table 1600 has a participant ID column 1610, a terminal ID column 1620, a performance column 1630, and a load column 1640. The participant ID column 1610 stores the participant ID. The terminal ID column 1620 stores the terminal ID of the user terminal 150 used by the participant. The performance column 1630 stores the performance of the user terminal 150 (CPU processing speed, communication speed, read processing speed of a storage device such as a hard disk, etc.). The performance transmitted from each user terminal 150 may be stored. The load column 1640 stores the load of the user terminal 150. Load transmitted from each user terminal 150 (current CPU processing speed, communication speed, read processing speed of a storage device such as a hard disk, the number of user terminals 150 to which the user terminal 150 is already associated as a distribution server, etc. ) Should be memorized. The load transmitted from each user terminal 150 may be stored.
When the value of the load in the load column 1640 is equal to or less than or less than a predetermined threshold value, the allocation process may be performed.
Further, the number of user terminals 150 to be assigned to the user terminal 150 is determined according to the performance value in the performance column 1630. For example, if the performance value increases, the number of units to be allocated may increase, and the number of units may be limited by using a calculation formula or the like.

FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a processing example according to the present embodiment. FIG. 13 shows an example in which the distribution server is not involved in the distribution of the operation command, while FIG. 17 shows an example in which the distribution server is involved in the distribution of the operation command. The user terminal 150 can transmit a request (operation command) other than the material acquisition request and the material acquisition request without distinguishing between them. However, the distribution server (user terminal 150 other than the information processing apparatus 100) that has received the operation command transmits the operation command to the information processing apparatus 100, and the information processing apparatus 100 transmits the operation command to the other user terminal 150. I am doing it.

In step S1702, the user terminal 150A operates the document A: 810 according to the operation of the user 840A.
In step S1704, the user terminal 150 notifies the information processing apparatus 100 of the operation command.
In step S1706, the information processing apparatus 100 notifies the user terminal 150 of the operation command.
In step S1708, if the user terminal 150 is displaying the corresponding material, the user terminal 150 executes an operation command.
