  • Patent number: 10509617
    Abstract: There is provided a terminal device for sharing first content to be displayed with another terminal device, comprising: a first content display unit configured to display the first content based on information sent from the other terminal device so that the displayed image of the first content is shared with the other terminal device; a role determining unit configured to determine a role of the terminal device among a plurality of roles that are respectively played by one or more of the terminal devices; and a second content display unit configured to display second content associated with the first content based on a display order for displaying the second content, by acquiring the second content from a second content storage place corresponding to the determined role, wherein the second content to be displayed varies according to the role of the terminal device.

  • Patent number: 10241736
    Abstract: A system includes a first processor and terminals connected to the first processor via a network. Each terminal has a second processor. The terminals includes a first terminal that transmits target data by a first user to a second terminal, so that the target data is received by the second terminal and displayed on a second column. The first processor refers to role data including identification data of the terminals associated with identification data of roles of users, determines a role of the user associated to a name of the first terminal, attaches identification data of a role of the first user to the target data, and transmits the target data and the attached identification data. The second processor receives the target data and the attached identification data and determines a position at which the target data is displayed on the second column based on role display data.

  • Patent number: 10083281
    Abstract: A terminal device for sharing a display of a content with another terminal device, includes a unit configured to determine a role of an own-device, from between a first or second role, the first role for applying an operation performed on the content to the content of the other terminal device, and the second role for performing a part of the operation of the first role; a unit configured to receive a part of the operation of first role, and apply the operation to the content included in the other terminal device, when the own-device has the second role; and a unit configured to display the content included in the own-device upon applying the operation performed at the terminal device having the first role, based on information from the first role, when the own-device does not have the first role.
