Abstract

As shown in FIG. 3, a network electronic conference system comprises: at least one notebook personal computer PC1 through PCi each having an input operation function to process arbitrary information; presentation apparatus 10 for displaying image based on information transferred from the notebook personal computer PC1; a creator (5) for storing information contents DIN displayed on the presentation apparatus 10 together with their time information TD and creating electronic information DOUT; and a communication cable 40 and a access point 6, which connect at least the notebook personal computer PCi, communicator 10, and the creator 5 to each other. The apparatus 10 controls the creator 5 so that it can store the mark information CD obtained on the basis of an input operation function of the notebook personal computer PCi together with the time information TD. This configuration allows the contents to easily be created without any complicated editing operation.

Claims

1. A network-information-processing system comprising:

at least one information-processing apparatus for processing arbitrary information, said information-processing apparatus having an input operation function;

information-controlling-and-displaying means for displaying an image based on information transferred from the information-processing apparatus;

information-creating apparatus for storing information contents displayed on the information-controlling-and-displaying means together with their time information to create electronic information contents; and

communication means for connecting at least the information-processing apparatus, the information-controlling-and-displaying means, and the information-creating apparatus,

wherein the information-controlling-and-displaying means controls the information-creating apparatus to store control information obtained on the basis of the input operation function of the information-processing apparatus together with the time information.

2. The network-information-processing system according to claim 1, wherein said information-controlling-and-displaying means includes:

a display apparatus for displaying the image based on the information transferred from said information-processing apparatus; and

information-processing-assisting apparatus for assisting electronic information processing including control of said display apparatus based on the input operation instruction by said information-processing apparatus.

3. The network-information-processing system according to claim 1, wherein the control information is set corresponding to the displayed information contents stored in said information-creating apparatus by using the input operation function of said information-processing apparatus.

4. The network-information-processing system according to claim 1, wherein the control information is set corresponding to the displayed information contents regularly or irregularly.

5. The network-information-processing system according to claim 1, wherein said control information is identification information for setting a mark to the displayed information contents.

6. The network-information-processing system according to claim 3, wherein said control information is identification information for setting a mark and said information-creating apparatus stores a number of mark, time, and title relating to the identification information.

7. The-network-information-processing system according to claim 1, wherein said information-creating apparatus classifies the displayed information contents into arbitrary split information contents based on said control information.

8. The-network-information-processing system according to claim 1, wherein a reproducing order of said split information contents is set using the input operation function of the information-processing apparatus.

9. The-network-information-processing system according to claim 1, wherein the displayed information contents are downloaded from said information-creating apparatus to said information-processing apparatus, and said information-processing apparatus reproduces the displayed information contents.

10. The-network-information-processing system according to claim 1, wherein the displayed information contents are edited using the input operation function of said information-processing apparatus, and said information-creating apparatus creates the electronic information contents based on the displayed information contents thus edited.

11. The-network-information-processing system according to claim 1 further comprising motion image/audio input apparatus for inputting at least image or audio, said image or audio excluding the information transferred from said information-processing apparatus.

12. An information-processing method comprising the steps of:

connecting at least one information-processing system for processing arbitrary information, said information-processing system having an input operation function, an information-controlling-and-displaying system for displaying an image based on information transferred from the information-processing system, and an information-creating system for storing information contents displayed on the information-controlling-and-displaying system together with their time information to create electronic information contents to each other through communication means;

setting control information corresponding to the information-creating system by using the input operation function of said information-processing system; and

storing the set control information with the time information in the information-creating system.

13. The information-processing method according to claim 12, wherein if said displayed information contents are streaming data and said control information is mark information, the mark information is set to the streaming data by specifying a marker previously in storing and the streaming data is reproduced by drifting into a marker position previously specified on the basis of the mark information in reproducing.

14. The information-processing method according to claim 12, wherein reproducing order is previously set for every unit of marker if reproducing the streaming data using the marker.

15. The information-processing method according to claim 14, wherein the reproducing order of the streaming data is replaced.

16. The information-processing method according to claim 14, wherein the streaming data is reproduced with an unnecessary part thereof being deleted.

17. The information-processing method according to claim 14, wherein by setting the reproducing order of the streaming data at random, the streaming data is reproduced at random by a marker unit.

18. The information-processing method according to claim 14, wherein said marker is manually set.

19. The information-processing method according to claim 14, wherein said marker is set every set period of time.

20. The information-processing method according to claim 12, wherein said information-creating system classifies the displayed information contents into arbitrary split information contents based on said control information.
