Abstract: The server device includes: an acquisition unit; and an information provision unit. The acquisition unit is capable of acquiring a plurality of attribute values for the same item when acquiring the respective profiles of a plurality of users using a conference assistance system. When items exist for which a plurality of attribute values have been set for the profile of a first participant participating in the conference among the plurality of users, the information provision unit selects at least one or more attribute values among the plurality of attribute values. The information provision unit provides, to a second participant participating in the same conference as the conference in which the first participant is participating, the profile of the first participant that includes the at least one or more attribute values thus selected.

Abstract: Provided is a server device that enables a straightforward search for a person who is equipped with expert knowledge or a person who is highly relevant to a statement by a participant. The server device includes: a management unit; and a search request processing unit. The management unit manages an expert database that stores, for each system user, statements at a conference. The search request processing unit receives, from a terminal, an expert search request that includes a designated keyword. The search request processing unit calculates the respective degrees of expertise of the users by analyzing the statements stored in the expert database. The search request processing unit specifies an expert pertaining to the designated keyword, on the basis of the calculated degrees of expertise. The search request processing unit transmits, to the terminal, information about the specified expert.

Abstract: A server device according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: at least one memory storing a set of instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the set of instructions to: generate minutes of a conference from statements of participants; analyze the generated minutes, thereby extracting a conference state word indicating a state of a discussion in a conference; generate conference information based on the conference state word; and provide the generated conference information to a terminal.

Abstract: Provided is a locker system in which usefulness to a locker user is increased. The locker system comprises an acquisition unit, a determination unit, and a locker control unit. The acquisition unit acquires biological information about the user. The determination unit determines a request relating to the locker use of the user. The locker control unit opens a locker specified on the basis of the request relating to the locker use in relation to a user specified by a comparison process using the biological information.

Abstract: The present invention provides a server device which enables smooth sharing of information in a conference. This server device is provided with a determination unit and an information provision unit. The determination unit analyzes a statement of a participant in a conference, and determines whether or not the statement of the participant matches a predetermined condition. The information provision unit provides predetermined shared information to the participant in the conference if the statement of the participant matches the predetermined condition.

Abstract: The server device includes: a conference reservation database; a conference room management unit; and an authentication request processing unit. The conference reservation database stores the date and time of a conference, the IDs of participants participating in the conference, and the contact information on the participants in association with each other. The conference room management unit selects a conference room to be used for the conference from among a plurality of conference rooms and notifies the participants of the ID of the selected conference room before the date and time of the conference. The authentication request processing unit receives an authentication request for the visitor of the selected conference room from a terminal that controls the entry and exit of the selected conference room, processes the received authentication request, and transmits the authentication result for the visitor to the terminal.

Abstract: Provided is an authentication terminal for appropriately protecting the privacy of a visitor. The authentication terminal is provided with an acquisition unit, an authentication request unit, and an output unit. The acquisition unit acquires the biometric information of a user. The authentication request unit requests an authentication process using the biometric information of the user by a server device and controls the opening/closing of a gate in accordance with the authentication result acquired from the server device. The output unit outputs displayed information based on the authentication result to an aerial display with which it is possible for a person at a prescribed position to visually recognize the displayed information based on the authentication result.

Abstract: Provided is a server device with which a participant in a conference can easily acquire information pertaining to another participant. The server device is provided with an acquisition unit and an information provision unit. The acquisition unit acquires a profile of each of a plurality of users using a conference assistance system. The information provision unit provides, to a first participant participating in a conference from among a plurality of users, a profile pertaining to a second participant participating in the same conference as that in which the first participant is participating.

Abstract: The server device includes an acquisition unit, a user database, an attendee management database, and a processing unit. The acquisition unit acquires biological information for each of a plurality of users using an entry/exit management system. The user database associates the biological information with user IDs respectively identifying the users and stores the same. The attendee management database associates the user ID corresponding to an attendee in a restricted area, into which entry and exit is restricted, with position information for the attendee, and stores the same. The processing unit transmits the position information of a meeting candidate, who a visitor wants to meet, to an authentication terminal. The authentication terminal is a terminal which, if an authentication using the biological information recorded in the user database is successful, permits a successfully authenticated user to enter the restricted area.
