Abstract
As shown in FIG. 4, a remote electronic conference system (102) related to the present invention comprises: a notebook personal computer PCi (i=1-4) having a GUI function and processing arbitrary information; a presentation apparatus (10A) for processing at least the information transferred from the personal computer (PCi) and providing electronic information contents including display information; and a wireless LAN for connecting this apparatus (10A) and each of the personal computers ID (PC1-PC4), in which at the presentation apparatus (10A) or the notebook personal computer (PCi), a GUI function of this personal computer (Pci) is utilized to perform authentication processing for the purpose of identifying an original user. With this, it is possible to refuse an unauthorized user from entering this system (102). In addition, it is possible to prevent a third party for performing unauthorized use of network-constituent devices including this presentation apparatus (10A).
