System, display position determination method, and computer-readable recording medium

A display position determination method in a system including a first device including a first processor and a second device connected to the first device via a network and having a second processor and a display displaying a chat screen, the method comprising:

• transmitting, by the first device, a first chat instruction including (i) first text data generated by a first user and (ii) first role identification data indicating that the first user has a role of a presenter in a conference, to the second device;
• transmitting, by the first device, a second chat instruction including (i) second text data generated by a second user and (ii) second role identification data indicating that the second user has a role of a non-presenter participant in the conference, to the second device;
• receiving the first chat instruction and the second chat instruction by the second device and displaying the first text data included in the first chat instruction and the second text data included in the second chat instruction on the chat screen of the second device;
• determining, by the second device, a position at which the first text data is displayed on the chat screen of the second device based on a first display position previously associated with the first role identification data;
• and
• determining, by the second device, a position at which the second text data is displayed on the chat screen of the second device based on a second display position previously associated with the second role identification data, the second display position different than the first display position;
• wherein the first display position and the second display position indicate respective positions at which the first text data and the second text data are to be displayed on the chat screen.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium on which programming is recorded for causing execution of a display position determination process in a system including a first device including a first processor and a second device connected to the first device via a network and having a second processor and a display displaying a chat screen, the display position determination process comprising:

• transmitting, by the first device a first chat instruction including (i) first text data generated by a first user and (ii) first role identification data indicating that the first user has a role of a presenter in a conference, to the second device;
• transmitting, by the first device, a second chat instruction including (i) second text data generated by a second user and (ii) second role identification data indicating that the second user has a role of a non-presenter participant in the conference, to the second device;
• receiving the first chat instruction and the second chat instruction by the second device and displaying the first text data included in the first chat instruction and the second text data included in the second chat instruction on the chat screen of the second device;
• determining, by the second device, a position at which the first text data is displayed on the chat screen of the second device based on a first display position previously associated with the first role identification data;
• and
• determining, by the second device, a position at which the second text data is displayed on the chat screen of the second device based on a second display position previously associated with the second role identification data, the second display position different than the first display position;
• wherein the first display position and the second display position indicate respective positions at which the first text data and the second text data are to be displayed on the chat screen.
