Abstract
An individual information screen is displayed for each of operators on the same table surface and it is possible to surely acquire shared information required for conversation between the operators. The data on each of individual information screens cannot be viewed by the other operators. A shared information screen and a plurality of individual information screens are displayed in a display surface arranged on a table surface. The individual information screens are used by each operator and display individual information on each of the operators. Among the individual information displayed on each individual information screen, those which can be viewed by the other operators may be displayed as shared information on the shared screen by a predetermined operation on the respective individual information screen. It becomes possible to display the individual information screens at predetermined positions at arbitrary positions on the table surface.
