select an attribute value from the plurality of attribute values for the item in the first profile for which the plurality of attribute values are set, according to a purpose of the conference
generate a second profile of the second participant including the selected attribute value, and
provide the second profile of the second participant to the first terminal.
5. The conference assistance system according to claim 4 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to: acquire a face image and the profile of each of the plurality of users, and provide a face image and a profile of the second participant to the first terminal.
6. The conference assistance system according to claim 4 ,
wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to identify the first and second participants among the plurality of users through a comparison process using the face images acquired from the first and second participants and the face images registered in the user database.
7. The conference assistance system according to claim 4 , wherein the first terminal requests the server device to provide information regarding the profile related to the second participant.
8. The conference assistance system according to claim 7 , wherein the first terminal acquires a response to the request for information provision of the profile from the server device and displays the profile related to the second participant based on the acquired response.
9. A conference assistance system comprising:
a first terminal used by a first participant participating in a conference;
a second terminal used by a second participant participating in the same conference as the conference in which the first participant participates; and
a server device, wherein the server device includes one or more memories storing instructions; and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:
acquire a profile of each of a plurality of users who uses the system, and
provide a profile related to the second participant to the first terminal,
wherein the first terminal requests the server device to provide information regarding the profile related to the second participant and acquires a response to the request for information provision of the profile from the server device and displays the profile related to the second participant based on the acquired response,
wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to transmit, to the second terminal, speaker information including at least content of a speech by the first participant when the speech of the first participant is detected,
the second terminal transmits view information including a view of the second participant on the content of the speech by the first participant to the server device, the server device further includes
a participant's view database that manages the content of the speech by the first participant and a view of the second participant in association with each other, and
the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to transmit a response including statistical information regarding the view of the second participant to the first terminal when a request to provide information regarding the profile is acquired from the first terminal.
