Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a shared screen for shared applications, which can be shared, in a network system of a plurality of connected communication terminals, with other communication terminals when running on the terminals. The communication terminals include a window information acquiring portion for acquiring window information of the application to be shared while running on the terminals. Window controlling portion controls how windows are displayed on the communication terminals. The window controlling portion displays a window of shared space for displaying windows of shared applications collectively on the communication terminals. The windows of the shared applications are displayed as sub-windows in the window of shared space. For the “entire screen sharing type”, the apparatus includes a conference managing device having a conference information managing portion for managing information about communication terminals participating in those conferences, and shared screen controlling portion.

Abstract: The terminal operation apparatus of the present invention is used for an electronic conference and the like, in which an operated terminal having a shared screen is remotely operated through a network, the amount of information flowing through the network is adjusted, and continuity of an operation between the operated terminal and the operating terminal is kept, whereby operability is enhanced. Timers 72 and 73 or a point information detection counter 74 are used to transmit detailed point information with a decreased thinning ratio to the operated terminal for a predetermined period of time after the point information is inputted. A thinning ratio is set in accordance with a pointer movement speed and priorities (the order of connection, a CPU use ratio, whether or not an operation authority is obtained, etc.) among operators.

Abstract: A terminal operation system includes a plurality of terminals connected via a network, wherein an operated terminal can be operated by an operating terminal through an input device, such as a pointer input part or a key input part, connected to the operating terminal. The system controls an appropriate assignment of the operation authority and a smooth transferring of the operation authority among the operating terminals. The operating terminal operates the operated terminal based on a certain level of an operation authority which is layered into a plurality of levels according to the possible function to perform on the operated terminal such as key code input, mouse operation, pointer moving and so on.
