  • Patent number: 11647059
    Abstract: A communication management apparatus includes a memory and circuitry. The memory stores a hierarchical data structure in which each page of a plurality of pages forming a display screen shared by a plurality of communication terminals is associated with one or more objects included in the each page. The circuitry receives, from one communication terminal of the plurality of communication terminals, an operation request that requests an operation on a particular object of the one or more objects. When editing of the particular object and editing of data in a lower layer associated with a higher layer of the particular object are both allowed, the circuitry transmits a success notification to the one communication terminal to notify success of the operation on the particular object.

  • Publication number: 20220309133
    Abstract: A management system includes circuitry to receive an operation request for a specific device of one or more devices from a communication terminal used by a user for who user authentication has been successfully performed by a management system. The one or more devices and the communication terminal are communicating with each other to execute an event managed by the management system. The circuitry stores, in a memory, operation identification information and access information in association with each other. The operation identification information identifies a device operation associated with the operation request. The access information is associated with the user and used to access external storage. The circuitry uploads data acquired by the specific device according to the device operation corresponding to the operation identification information to the external storage using the access information associated with the operation identification information.

  • Publication number: 20210126955
    Abstract: A communication terminal includes an interface and circuitry. The interface communicates with a counterpart communication terminal to share data with the counterpart communication terminal that is input with first image data. The circuitry causes a display to display an image associated with second image data. The second image data is compressed data of the first image data. The circuitry further transmits, to a server, a capture image acquisition request that is a request for a capture image corresponding to the image associated with the second image data and displayed on the display. The server manages shared data to be shared with the counterpart communication terminal. The circuitry further receives, from the server, capture image data of an image associated with the first image data. The capture image data is acquired by the counterpart communication terminal in response to the capture image acquisition request.
