Abstract: Various electronic equipments used in a network conferencing system are integrally managed and presentation is made in a simple manner. When each attendant electronic equipment becomes a chairman terminal having an equipment management function, it inquires the availability of an electronic equipment used for a conference, then obtains information related to an available equipment from a client control section of a conference management server, and determines whether the electronic equipment used for the conference is an output electronic equipment such as a projector or a generating electronic equipment such as a scanner. Thus, an icon display of the generating electronic equipment and an icon display of the output electronic equipment are provided while separating an area for the icon display of the generating electronic equipment and an area for the icon display of the output electronic equipment, by the display function of each attendant electronic equipment.

Abstract: This invention is intended to build a system with service cores integrated. A user terminal sends authentication information and area information to an image service providing server via a network. The image service providing server receives the authentication information and the area information from the user terminal, selects an authentication server of an area corresponding to the area information from among authentication servers of all areas, and sends the authentication information received from the user terminal to the selected authentication server via the network. The authentication server receives the authentication information of the user terminal from the image service providing server and executes the authentication of the user terminal on the basis of the received authentication information. The present invention is applicable to image service providing systems which provide image-based services.

Abstract: A conferencing system made up of an attendant terminal, a presenter terminal and a chairman terminal is provided. Particularly, attendance authentication is carried out and the contents of a supplementary explanation given by a presenter are presented only to the presenter at the time of preview display. Attendant equipments attending a conference have a presentation function, a chat function, a file transfer function, a teleconference control function, a proceedings control function and a user authentication/equipment management function. On of a plurality of attendant electronic equipments acquires one of the authority to be the presenter terminal having the presentation function, the authority to be the chairman terminal having the authentication function, equipment management function and proceedings control function, and the authority to be the attendant terminal having the presentation contents browsing function.

Abstract: The proceedings are prepared in a simple manner.
