More Information
Summary:In addition to a conference server 100, a record server 200 is provided. The conference data of a real-time conference is stored in a storage section 214 of the record server 200 (S 2 ). A conference terminal 300 a performs connection processing to the conference (S 1 ) and then transmits a catch-up playback request to the record server 200 (S 3 ). The record server 200 determines whether or not catch-up playback is enabled (S 4 ) and then distributes the past conference data (S 6 ), and notifies the conference terminal 300 a that the catch-up playback end point has come (S 7 - 1 ). Accordingly, the connection of the conference terminal 300 a is switched to the conference server 100 (S 9 ) and the conference terminal 300 a is connected to the real-time conference (S 10 ).
