First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus for receiving image information via communication means, and for displaying, on a display section, an image provided based on the received image information, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- a conversion section for acquiring sound data related to the image information, and for converting the sound data into a character string;
an analysis section for performing morphological analysis on the converted character string;
a first extraction section for extracting a character string that satisfies a condition set in advance, the character string being extracted from character strings each including a single or a plurality of morphemes obtained as a result of the analysis performed by the analysis section;
a first display control section for displaying, on the display section, the character string extracted by the first extraction section;
a first reception section for receiving selection of any one or a plurality of character strings included in the displayed character strings; and
a second display control section for displaying the selected character string in a superimposed manner at any position on the image provided based on the image information.

Abstract
In a terminal apparatus used by a speaker, sounds are inputted via a microphone to perform sound recognition processing and morphological analysis, a character string obtained as a result of the analysis is extracted using a predetermined condition, and the extracted character string is transmitted to other terminal apparatuses via a conference server apparatus. On each of the other terminal apparatuses, the extracted character string, which has been received, is displayed in a selectable manner. The selected character string is displayed in a superimposed manner on an image of shared document data. The character string converted from sounds uttered by the speaker at a conference is freely placed on the shared image, thereby effectively aiding a conference participant to make a note at the conference.
