Abstract

A teleconferencing device includes: a connecting unit fitted into an information processing device; and a storage unit storing: a teleconference application program which is automatically started by fitting the connecting unit into the information processing device; self-location information which is location information of the teleconferencing device; and destination location information which is location information of a connection destination holding a teleconference, wherein the teleconference application program reads the self-location information and the destination location information and connects the information processing device to an information processing device of the connection destination via a network.

Claims (31)

1. A teleconferencing device comprising: a connecting unit for fitting into an information processing device; and a storage unit storing: a teleconference application program which is automatically started by fitting the connecting unit into the information processing device; self-location information which is location information of the teleconferencing device; and destination location information which is location information of a connection destination holding a teleconference, wherein the teleconference application program reads the self-location information and the destination location information, automatically connects the information processing device to an information processing device of the connection destination via a network and automatically initiates a communication between a location of the teleconferencing device and a location of the connection destination after the connection is completed.

2. The teleconferencing device according to claim 1 , further comprising

a starting module which starts the teleconference application program.

3. The teleconferencing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the self-location information and the destination location information are included in the teleconference application program.

4. The teleconferencing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the self-location information and the destination location information include at least one of an IP address, a name of a location, and conference environment information.

5. The teleconferencing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the destination location information is destination location information on a plurality of locations.

6. The teleconferencing device according to claim 1 , further comprising

a code key which codes communication signals with the location of the connection destination.

7. The teleconferencing device according to claim 1 , wherein

the teleconferencing device is a portable storage device.

8. The teleconferencing device according to claim 7 , wherein

the portable storage device is an USB memory.

9. The teleconferencing device according to claim 1 , wherein the teleconference application program reads the self-location information and the destination location information, automatically connects the information processing device to the information processing device of the connection destination via the network and automatically initiates a teleconference between the location of the teleconferencing device and the location of the connection destination after the connection is completed.

10. A teleconference initiating method of a teleconferencing device including a teleconference application program which is automatically started by fitting the teleconferencing device into an information processing device, self-location information which is location information of the teleconferencing device, and destination location information which is location information of a connection destination holding a teleconference, the method comprising:

starting the teleconference application program;

acquiring device information required for the teleconference;

reading the self-location information and the destination location information;

automatically connecting the information processing device to an information processing device of the connection destination via a network, on the basis of the self-location information and the destination location information; and

automatically initiating a communication between a location of the teleconferencing device and a location of the connection destination after the connection is completed.

11. A teleconference initiating program product for enabling a computer to initiating a teleconference using a teleconferencing device including a teleconference application program which is automatically started by fitting the teleconferencing device into the information processing device, self-location information which is location information of the teleconferencing device, and destination location information which is location information of a connection destination holding a teleconference, the program product comprising:

software instructions for enabling the computer to perform predetermined operations; and

a computer readable medium storing the software instructions,

wherein the predetermined operations comprise:

starting the teleconference application program;

acquiring device information required for the teleconference;

reading the self-location information and the destination location information;

automatically connecting the information processing device to an information processing device of the connection destination via a network, on the basis of the self-location information and the destination location information; and

automatically initiating a communication between a location of the teleconferencing device and a location of the connection destination after the connection is completed.
