Abstract: In a conferencing system comprising telephones and workstations to assist a cooperative work, a conference display control method for a visual user interface is provided. A conference window is displayed on a workstation display during execution of a teleconference. The conference window includes a meeting table area as a shared space and a local area which cannot be seen by the other participants. Document objects corresponding to a document application program which is used in the conference are arranged on those areas. The distribution of the documents, reference of information, and execution of the application program can be executed by direct manipulation of objects using a mouse. In the conference window, the document object can be operated at both the cooperative work place and the local work place. The operations during the conference can be simplified.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an isothiocyanated cyclodextrin derivative which can label various kinds of organic compounds containing an amino group as their functional group. In some embodiments, the derivative can be a cyclodextrin derivative in which at least one primary hydroxyl group is substituted by an isothiocyanato group and expressed by the compound expressed by formula (I), ##STR1## wherein n is an integer from 5 to 7.

Abstract: A cooperative information processing system in which a cooperative execution application program can utilize an auxiliary application program that is being executed locally. The communication control program has the request conversion unit, the input conversion unit and the server-dependent information table. The communication control program utilizes the server-dependent information table to interpret the format of an inter-application message between the sites and carries out a proper conversion. Thus, communication between the cooperative execution application program and the auxiliary application program locally executed at a specific site, such as for example, the Japanese inputting front end program, is made possible.
