  • Publication number: 20180020181
    Abstract: A video display system for a meeting includes a video information terminal device typified by a liquid crystal projector, a video display unit typified by a whiteboard, a server which stores information and a user terminal (mobile terminal) held by a member of the meeting. A host of the meeting transmits information regarding the time of the meeting, members, and contents thereof to the server. A reservation list and a participant list are displayed and updated depending on an attendance/nonattendance answer from a member. A diagram or letters written on the whiteboard during the meeting are captured by the video information terminal device, inverted in brightness, stored in a memory, and displayed as a video image. At the end of the meeting, video data is stored as a file. When the meeting is resumed, the stored file is reproduced, developed in the memory, and displayed as a video image.
