Abstract

L'invention porte sur un système de support de conférence qui comporte une section de collecte d'informations entrées, une section de recherche de salle de conférence et une section de réservation. La section de collecte d'informations entrées collecte des informations de dissimulation entrées à partir d'un dispositif d'entrée. La section de recherche de salle de conférence se réfère à une base de données de salles de conférence associant la présence/l'absence de dissimulation à une pluralité de salles de conférence, et calcule des salles de conférence appropriées correspondant aux informations de dissimulation parmi la pluralité de salles de conférence où une conférence peut être tenue. La section de réservation réserve une salle de conférence devant être réservée parmi les salles de conférence appropriées.
