  • Patent number: 11250388
    Abstract: An information processing system includes a server, an information terminal 4, and a sharing device. If the information terminal determines that a start meeting exists and detects the sharing device, the information terminal transmits predetermined information including identification information of the sharing device detected to the server. Based on the predetermined information and a management table, the server determines whether or not to cause the sharing device to execute a connection process. If the sharing device executes the connection process, the information terminal is wirelessly connected to the sharing device.

  • Patent number: 10942631
    Abstract: A content transmission apparatus displays, on the display screen, an image created based on content. The content transmission apparatus detects a move operation on a selected image. The content transmission apparatus determines whether or not the selected image has been moved to a predetermined transmission-side specified area on the display screen. When the selected image has been moved to the transmission-side specified area, the content transmission apparatus changes the display form of the image, and transmits the content corresponding to the selected image, to a storage area associated with the transmission-side specified area. A content reception apparatus obtains the content from the storage area for display.
