Information processing apparatus, information processing system, and information processing method
An information processing apparatus includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to one or more terminals, wherein the processor: acquires, from the one or more terminals, a snapshot of shared information shared with another information processing apparatus at a time during a conference and a first identifier of the conference; determines whether or not the first identifier is stored in the memory by referring to the memory that stores a second identifier received from the another information processing apparatus; when determining that the first identifier is stored in the memory, performs coupling to the another information processing apparatus that is a source of the second identifier stored in the memory; and reproduces the shared information shared with the coupled another information processing apparatus from the snapshot.
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
store, in the memory, a second identifier to identify a conference with another information processing apparatus, which is coupled to the information processing apparatus for the conference, and a location identifier to identify a location of the conference in association with each other;
acquire, from one or more terminals coupled to the information processing apparatus, a first snapshot of shared information which is shared with the another information processing apparatus at a time during the conference and a first identifier to identify the conference;
determine whether or not the first identifier matches the second identifier stored in the memory by referring to the memory;
when determining that the first identifier matches the second identifier stored in the memory, determine whether or not the location identifier for the second identifier matches a location identifier for the information processing apparatus;
when determining that the location identifier for the second identifier does not match the location identifier for the information processing apparatus, perform coupling to the another information processing apparatus that is a source of the second identifier stored in the memory and acquire a second snapshot from the another information processing apparatus; and
reproduce the shared information shared with the coupled another information processing apparatus from one of the first snapshot and the second snapshot.
2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein when determining that the first identifier does not match the second identifier stored in the memory, the processor transmits the first identifier to the another information processing apparatus.
3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein when determining that the first identifier does not match the second identifier stored in the memory, the processor stores the first identifier in the memory.
4. An information processing system comprising:
a plurality of information processing apparatuses; and
one or more terminals coupled to the plurality of information processing apparatuses and each including a first memory that stores a first snapshot of shared information which is shared by the plurality of information processing apparatuses at a time during a conference, and a first identifier to identify the conference, each of the plurality of information processing apparatuses is configured to:
store, in a second memory, a second identifier to identify a conference with another information processing apparatus, which is coupled to the information processing apparatus for the conference, and a location identifier to identify a location of the conference in association with each other;
acquire the first snapshot and the first identifier from the terminals;
determine whether or not the first identifier matches the second identifier stored in the second memory by referring to the second memory;
when determining that the first identifier matches the second identifier stored in the second memory, determine whether or not the location identifier for the second identifier matches a location identifier for the information processing apparatus;
when determining that the location identifier for the second identifier does not match the location identifier for the information processing apparatus, preform coupling to the another information processing apparatus as a source of the second identifier stored in the second memory and acquire a second snapshot from the another information processing apparatus; and
reproduce the shared information shared with the coupled another information processing apparatus from one of the first snapshot and the second snapshot.
5. The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein when determining that the first identifier does not match the second identifier stored in the memory, the plurality of information processing apparatus transmit the first identifier to the another information processing apparatus.
6. The information processing system according to claim 5 , wherein when determining that the first identifier does not match the second identifier stored in the memory, the plurality of information processing apparatus store the first identifier in the memory.
7. An information processing method comprising:
storing, in a memory, a second identifier to identify a conference with another information processing apparatus, which is coupled to an information processing apparatus for the conference, and a location identifier to identify a location of the conference in association with each other;
acquiring, by a computer, from one or more terminals coupled to the information processing apparatus, a first snapshot of shared information which is shared with the another information processing apparatus at a time during the conference and a first identifier to identify the conference;
determining whether or not the first identifier matches the second identifier stored in the memory by referring to the memory;
when determining that the first identifier matches the second identifier stored in the memory, determining whether or not the location identifier for the second identifier matches a location identifier for the information processing apparatus;
when determining that the location identifier for the second identifier does not match the location identifier for the information processing apparatus, performing coupling to the another information processing apparatus that is a source of the second identifier stored in the memory and acquiring a second snapshot from the another information processing apparatus; and
reproducing the shared information shared with the coupled another information processing apparatus from one of the first snapshot and the second snapshot.
8. The information processing method according to claim 7 , wherein when determining that the first identifier does not match the second identifier stored in the memory, the first identifier is transmitted to the another information processing apparatus.
9. The information processing method according to claim 8 , wherein when determining that the first identifier does not match the second identifier stored in the memory, the first identifier is stored in the memory.
