Abstract

The present invention relates to a group environment setting method in a system where plural participants form a group and perform a cooperative operation. Environment setting information for an application environment setting of a cooperative operation is registered in a group unit. When a group is designated by a participant, environment setting information corresponding to the designated group is read from the registered environment setting information, and applied as environment setting information of the participant. A data structure of the environment setting information has a hierarchical structure, and information related to the designated environment setting items is selected from the read environment setting information.
