Referring to the example shown in FIG. 5 , among the four users (12-1, 12-2, 12-3, 12-4) belonging to the same working group, three users (12-1, 12-2) who are in the room , 12-3) is expressed in a state of going to work in a virtual office space, and one user 12-4 in an out-of-work state is expressed in a state not going to work in the virtual office space. An on-the-go user expresses an avatar corresponding to the user as sitting at a desk in a virtual office space, and an on-the-go user makes the user's desk empty in the virtual office space or opaque the avatar corresponding to the on-the-go user express

In step 306, the remote work management server 11 transmits the generated virtual office image to the user terminal 12 belonging to the associated working group. The remote work management server 11 transmits the virtual office image generated in step 305 to the user terminals 12 belonging to the working group associated with the virtual office image, respectively. The user terminal 12 of users included in the same working group may output the virtual office image transmitted from the remote work management server 11 to provide users with the status of other users to users belonging to the same working group. . Users can perform tasks online based on the provided virtual office image.
