Abstract
Various electronic equipments used in a network conferencing system are integrally managed and presentation is made in a simple manner. When each attendant electronic equipment becomes a chairman terminal having an equipment management function, it inquires the availability of an electronic equipment used for a conference, then obtains information related to an available equipment from a client control section of a conference management server, and determines whether the electronic equipment used for the conference is an output electronic equipment such as a projector or a generating electronic equipment such as a scanner. Thus, an icon display of the generating electronic equipment and an icon display of the output electronic equipment are provided while separating an area for the icon display of the generating electronic equipment and an area for the icon display of the output electronic equipment, by the display function of each attendant electronic equipment.
