Abstract
This invention provides an information sharing system management apparatus which efficiently manages a TV conference without requiring the user to join it. When a terminal A1 is started, a first system acquires information such as the start time, participants, and the like of a video conference system from that video conference system, and transmits the acquired information to a second system on a terminal A0. The second system stores the received information. When the operator inputs a conference record command on the terminal A1, the first system requests the video conference system to send a conference record including speech and the like, and transmits the received conference record to the second system. The second system stores the received conference record. The operator at the terminal A0 can display and observe the conference information and conference record stored by the second system as needed. Such information is updated every required times.
