Abstract
A standardized user interface that can handle a system for cooperatively performing various tasks. Session contents display sections display information concerning sessions using display forms that are consonant with session types. The list of the session contents display sections is displayed by a session list display section, and information concerning the sessions can be displayed for each session. Since the session contents display sections detect the input of instructions for session operations, various types of sessions can be held using a standardized user interface. In addition, the generation and extinguishing of sessions can be performed by the session operation unit, and contents of the session information that is collectively managed by the session information update detecting unit can be reflected in the session contents display section of an individual terminal. Furthermore, all of the events initiated by a user can be handled by a control unit.
