2. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said display unit converts said key information into a picture that can be displayed by said information display unit and superimposes said picture on an image of the display information.

3. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

a display panel, wherein said display unit displays said key information on said display panel as at least one of a character or an image.

4. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said key information distributing unit further includes a sound output unit configured to output sound for distributing said key information, and the distribution range of said key information is such that a sound outputted by said output unit can be heard within the presentation room.

5. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said key information distributing unit further includes a transmitting unit configured to transmit said key information by infrared transmission, and the distribution range of said key information is such that the infrared rays transmitted by said transmitting unit can be received within the presentation room.

6. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the communication apparatus authenticated by said authenticating unit is further equipped with a display information transmitting unit configured to transmit the display information displayed by said display unit.

7. The apparatus as claimed in claim 6, wherein said display information transmitting unit encrypts the display information to be transmitted such that the encrypted display information can be decoded by said communication apparatus.

8. A system for displaying information comprising:

a communication apparatus within a presentation room including information to be presented to multiple users in the presentation room;

an apparatus within the presentation room to receive the information from the communication apparatus and comprising;

a key information producing unit including a processor configured to produce key information used to authenticate said communication apparatus;

a key information distributing unit including a processor configured to distribute said key information only to the presentation room;

an authentication information receiving unit including a processor configured to receive authentication information from the communication apparatus in the presentation room;

an authenticating unit including a processor configured to authenticate said communication apparatus by verifying whether or not said authentication information was formed based upon said key information;

a display information receiving unit including a processor configured to receive display information from said authenticated communication apparatus; and

an output unit to display the display information received from said authenticated communication apparatus to the multiple users in the presentation room;

wherein said authenticated communication apparatus has a distribution range during reception of said key information such that said outputted key information can be acquired;

wherein said key information distributing unit includes a display unit configured to visually display said key information, and the distribution range of said key information is such that said key information displayed on said display unit can be visually viewed within the presentation room.

9. The system as claimed in claim 8, wherein said display unit converts said key information into a picture that can be displayed by said information display unit and superimposes said picture on an image of the display information.

10. The system as claimed in claim 8, further comprising:

a display panel, wherein said display unit displays said key information on said display panel as at least one of a character or an image.

11. The system as claimed in claim 8, wherein said key information distributing unit further includes a sound output unit configured to output sound for distributing said key information, and the distribution range of said key information is such that a sound outputted by said output unit can be heard within the presentation room.

12. The system as claimed in claim 8, wherein said key information distributing unit further includes a transmitting unit configured to transmit said key information by infrared transmission, and the distribution range of said key information is such that the infrared rays transmitted by said transmitting unit can be received within the presentation room.

13. The system as claimed in claim 8, wherein the communication apparatus authenticated by said authenticating unit is further equipped with a display information transmitting unit configured to transmit the display information displayed by said display unit.
