On the other hand, in a group system, meetings are frequently conducted to collect opinions of members. Recently, due to the development of information and communication, remote video conferencing using a video camera and a computer has been put to practical use at a long distance. This teleconference has the advantage that the user can join the meeting online without attending the conference room directly. However, it is inconvenient for all the members who attend the meeting to access the computer at the same time, and when using the intranet in the company, the network equipment is expensive and the trouble of preparing a video camera is required.

Since recording a video conference as a data requires a large amount of memory, it is difficult for an administrator to record a conference because management equipment is expensive.

In addition, the current level of video conferencing has not been considered how the meeting organizer can easily announce the meeting and how to attend the meeting.

Therefore, a meeting system using a network requires a technology that facilitates meeting transfer without a video camera, allows meetings to be conducted without all members attending the same time, and facilitates recording of meetings.

In order to solve the limitations of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to participate in an internet conference through a mobile terminal and a computer with internet access, and to provide a web of remarks and answers (text and attachments) received from a participant over a period of time. Managed by the server and mobile server to conduct meetings and database the meetings, participants can attend meetings at any time (within the designated meeting period) without having to be connected to the Internet at the same time. We would like to provide an internet conferencing system for reviewing records and how to operate them.
