Abstract

An information processing apparatus to which a plurality of users can log in includes: a display unit configured to display an image; and a display controller configured to display personal region images corresponding to the respective users in a plurality of personal display regions at different positions in a display face of the display unit, display common images in the same common display region among the users in the display face of the display unit, and display images of data acquired on the authority to access of a corresponding user in the personal display regions to be movable, respectively, wherein when any of the users logs out, the display controller finishes displaying the image arranged in the personal display region among the data acquired on the authority to access of the user who logs out, and continues to display the image arranged in the common display region.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing apparatus to which a plurality of users can log in, comprising:
a display that displays an image;
a touch panel that receives a user operation; and
a processor that causes the display to display:
personal region images corresponding to the respective users in a plurality of personal display regions at different positions in a display face of the display, and
common images in the same common display region among the users in the display face of the display, wherein

the processor causes the display to display an image of data acquired on the authority to access of a corresponding user as at least one of the personal region images in one of the personal display regions to be movable, and
when any of the users logs out, the processor finishes displaying the image arranged in one of the personal display regions among the data acquired on the authority to access of the user who logs out, and continues to display the image arranged in the common display region,
the processor executes, in response to a corresponding user logging in, a process comprising:
generating a personal task image including the personal display region and the common display region for each of the users and in which an image of data acquired on the authority to access of a corresponding user is arranged in the personal display region; and
moving an image of data arranged in each of the personal display regions in the display face of the display based on an operation received by the touch panel, and

the processor generates, when any of the users logs out, a common image in which the image arranged in the personal display region among the images of the data acquired on the authority to access of the user who logs out is arranged in the common display region,
the processor displays a combined screen in which one or more personal task images generated by the processing corresponding to one or more logged-in users are combined with the common image on the display,
the processor acquires, when one of the users logs out, data corresponding to an image moved to the common display region by the process corresponding to the logged-out user,
the processor sets an authority to restrain an access to the acquired data,
the processor restrains an access to the acquired data based on an operation received by the touch panel according to the set authority,
the process further comprises:
displaying one or more authority setting regions corresponding to one or more authorities different in restraint contents, respectively, in the common display region,
when an image arranged in the personal display regions is moved to any of one or more authority setting regions, determining an authority corresponding to an authority setting region including a position to which the image is moved in the one or more authority setting regions for the data corresponding to the moved image, and

the processor sets the determined authority for the acquired data.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the one or more authorities include authorities different in restraint contents between before and after all the users log out.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor further deletes the acquired data when an effective period elapses after all the users log out.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor further acquires data corresponding to an image arranged in the personal display region by the process, and
the processor acquires the data acquired in order for the process corresponding to a log-out user to arrange an image in the personal display region.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the authority setting regions receive setting of the authorities while the touch panel receives the operation to move the image of data arranged in each of the personal display regions to the common display region.

6. A conference support method executed by a processor of an information processing apparatus to which a plurality of users can log in, the information processing apparatus including a display and a touch panel, the method comprising:
displaying personal task images corresponding to the respective users in a plurality of personal display regions at different positions in a display face of the display, and displaying common images in the same common display region among the users in the display face of the display;
displaying an image of data acquired on the authority to access of a corresponding user as at least one of the personal region images in one of the personal display regions to be movable; and
when any of the users logs out, finishing displaying the image arranged in one of the personal display regions among the data acquired on the authority to access of the user who logs out, and continuing to display the image arranged in the common display region,
executing, in response to a corresponding user logging in,
a process comprising:
generating a personal task image including the personal display region and the common display region for each of the users and in which an image of data acquired on the authority to access of a corresponding user is arranged in the personal display region; and
moving an image of data arranged in each of the personal display regions in the display face of the display on the basis of an operation received by the touch panel, and

when any of the users logs out, generating a common image in which the image arranged in the personal display region among the images of the data acquired on the authority to access of the user who logs out is arranged in the common display region; and
displaying a combined screen in which one or more personal task images generated by the processing corresponding to one or more logged-in users are combined with the common image on the display,
acquiring, when one of the users logs out, data corresponding to an image moved to the common display region by the process corresponding to the logged-out user,
setting an authority to restrain an access to the acquired data,
restraining an access to the acquired data based on an operation received by the touch panel according to the set authority,
displaying one or more authority setting regions corresponding to one or more authorities different in restraint contents, respectively, in the common display region,
when an image arranged in the personal display regions is moved to any of one or more authority setting regions, determining an authority corresponding to an authority setting region including a position to which the image is moved in the one or more authority setting regions for the data corresponding to the moved image, and
setting the determined authority for the acquired data.

7. The conference support method according to claim 6 , wherein the authority setting regions receive setting of the authorities while the touch panel receives the operation to move the image of data arranged in each of the personal display regions to the common display region.

8. A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable conference support program which is executed by a processor of an information processing apparatus to which a plurality of users can log, the information processing apparatus including a display and a touch panel, the program causing the processor to execute:
displaying personal task images corresponding to the respective users in a plurality of personal display regions at different positions in a display face of the display, and displaying common images in the same common display region among the users in the display face of the display;
displaying an image of data ac
