COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, SERVER, AND TERMINAL
First Claim
1. A communication system including a repeating device to relay contents data to multiple terminals participating in a conference, and a file sharing device to provide a file to the multiple terminals, comprising:
- a section to generate location information of a shared folder to be accessed commonly by the multiple terminals, the generated location being indicated to the multiple terminals; and
a table of participating terminals for registering identification information of the multiple terminals participating in the conference, associated with identification information of the conference,wherein the file sharing device includesa shared folder to be generated at the location designated by the location information of the shared folder;
a file sharing table to register the location information of the shared folder associated with the identification information of the conference; and
a first file synchronizing section to send file information of a file sent by a terminal, to other terminals participating in the same conference, if the file sent from the terminal is stored in the shared folder;
wherein each of the multiple terminals includes;
a folder mounting section to make a request to the file sharing device to mount the shared folder on the requesting terminal; and
a second file synchronizing section to send a file stored in a storage area generated with the mounting to the shared folder.

Abstract
A communication system having a repeating device to relay contents data to multiple terminals in a conference, and a file sharing device to provide a file to the terminals, includes a section to generate location information of a shared folder accessed commonly by the terminals, which is indicated to the multiple terminals, and a table of participating terminals. The file sharing device includes a shared folder, a file sharing table, and a first file synchronizing section to send file information of a file sent by a terminal, to other terminals in the same conference, if the file sent from the terminal is stored in the shared folder. Each of the terminals includes a folder mounting section to mount the shared folder on the requesting terminal, and a second file synchronizing section to send a file to be shared to the shared folder.

8. A server including
a repeating device to relay contents data to multiple terminals participating in a conference, a file sharing device to provide a file in a shared folder to the multiple terminals, the server being connected via a network to each of the multiple terminals which includes a folder mounting section to make a request to the file sharing device to mount the shared folder on the requesting terminal itself, and a second file synchronizing section to send a file stored in a storage area generated with the mounting to the shared folder, the server comprising: -
a section to generate location information of a shared folder to be accessed commonly by the multiple terminals, the generated location being indicated to the multiple terminals; a table of participating terminals for registering identification information of the multiple terminals participating in the conference, associated with identification information of the conference, a shared folder to be generated at the location designated by the location information of the shared folder; a file sharing table to register the location information of the shared folder associated with the identification information of the conference; and a first file synchronizing section to send file information of a file sent by one of the multiple terminals, to other terminals participating in the same conference, if the file sent from the terminal is stored in the shared folder.
