  • Publication number: 20140189486
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores instructions executed by a processor of a terminal device to perform following processes. The processor acquires data indicating a document shared between a plurality of terminal devices, and displays, on a display device of the terminal device, a display range indicating at least a portion of the document. The processor receives annotation data indicating an annotation superimposed on the document in another terminal device, and determines whether the annotation is inside the display range in the document. If the annotation is not inside the display range, the processor displays a marker indicating that the annotation data has been received. The processor determines whether operation information acquired from an operation device of the terminal device indicates an operation targeting the marker.
