CONFERENCE SUPPORT APPARATUS, CONFERENCE SUPPORT SYSTEM, CONFERENCE SUPPORT METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM STORING CONFERENCE SUPPORT PROGRAM

摘要

A conference support apparatus includes: a conference management section that stores screen information obtained by the object operation to manage screen transition in the conference; a branch management section that stores branch information for discriminating a branch point in association with the screen on which a branching operation is performed to manage a branch point of the conference when the branching operation is performed to branch the discussion; and a digest creation section that refers to branch information to specify the digest part that connects the start point and the end point from which a branch is excluded when the branch is included between the start point and the end point and extracts screen information about a screen included in the specified digest part to create a conference digest on the basis of the screen information corresponding to the specified digest part when a digest creation operation is performed.

主权项

1. A conference support apparatus adaptable for a conference support system, the conference support system comprising a display that displays an object and an operation acceptor that accepts an operation of an operator for the object displayed on the display and generates a first signal corresponding to the operation of the object accepted by the operation acceptor, the conference support apparatus comprising:
a controller that receives the first signal from the operation acceptor and transmits second signal to the display; and a storage that stores, in a time-series manner, scene information relating to a scene produced in the operation of the object accepted by the operation acceptor, and stores branch information designating a branch point in association with a scene in which the operation acceptor accepts an operation of creating the branch point in a discussion represented with the scene information by setting the scene back to an arbitrary previous time point, wherein the controller refers to information including the branch information stored in the storage when an operation for creating a conference digest including designation of a start point and an end point of the conference digest is accepted by the operation acceptor, specifies scene information corresponding to a period of the conference digest which is defined by the start point and the end point except for a residual path subsequent to the branch point, and creates the conference digest in accordance with the specified scene information.
