  • Patent number: 7761510
    Abstract: A conference system includes a terminal that displays a document presented by a presenter in a conference and that is capable of receiving writing inputs from a participant for enabling exchange of opinions, and a document storage unit that stores the document used in the conference and the written information. The document storage unit stores image data of respective pages of the document, shared overwrite data for each page including shared written information written by the presenter or participants, and personal overwrite data for each participant provided for each page and including personal memo information written by the participant. The terminal includes a read unit that selectively reads out from the document storage unit, concerning each page, the image data of the presented document, the shared overwrite data, and a participant's personal overwrite data, and a display controller that overlaps the read-out data and displays the overlapped data on a display.

  • Patent number: 7752187
    Abstract: A scanned-document management system includes a first user identification information reading unit that acquires identification information of a user who operates a document reading unit. An attribute information generating unit acquires information of a user identified by the user identification information and generates attribute information based on the acquired information of the user. A document registration unit registers the document data and the attribute data in a document management unit. A second user identification information reading unit acquires identification information of the user. A request information generating unit acquires information of a user identified by the user identification information acquired by the second user identification information reading unit and generates document acquisition request information. A corresponding document selection unit selects document data related to the user based on document acquisition request information and the attribute information.

  • Publication number: 20060259490
    Abstract: A multifunction device transmits an acquisition request including a user ID read from an IC card by a card reader to acquire data identifying a conference to which a user belongs from an information management server; automatically produces attribute information including a scanner ID, a time when the scanning was performed, and a location; and adds the information to a scanned document to register the information in a scanned document management server. An information terminal device transmits an acquisition request including a user ID read from an IC card by a card reader to acquire from an information management server information such as a conference to which the user belongs, a conference member, and a conference place. Moreover, the acquired information is compared with attribute information of each scanned document registered in the scanned document management server to select the scanned document to be downloaded onto the information terminal device.
