Communication system, communication method, and electronic apparatus

A communication method performed by a first electronic whiteboard, the communication method comprising:

• setting, by first circuitry of the first electronic whiteboard, the first electronic whiteboard according to setting information;
• acquiring, from a second electronic whiteboard, acquisition information indicating whether the second electronic whiteboard is to acquire the setting information from the first electronic whiteboard;
• determining, by the first circuitry, whether or not the acquisition information indicates that the second electronic whiteboard is to acquire the setting information;
• transmitting, in response to determining that the acquisition information indicates that the second electronic whiteboard is to acquire the setting information, the setting information to the second electronic whiteboard;
• and
• determining, in response to determining that the acquisition information indicates that the second electronic whiteboard is not to acquire the setting information, not to transmit the setting information to the second electronic whiteboard.

An electronic whiteboard, comprising:

• a memory configured to store setting information, and
• circuitry configured to
• set the electronic whiteboard according to the setting information;
• receive, from another electronic whiteboard, acquisition information indicating whether the another electronic whiteboard is to acquire the setting information from the electronic whiteboard;
• determine whether or not the acquisition information indicates that the another electronic whiteboard is to acquire the setting information;
• transmit, in response to determining that the acquisition information indicates that the another electronic whiteboard is to acquire the setting information, the setting information to the another electronic whiteboard, and
• determine, in response to determining that the acquisition information indicates that the another electronic whiteboard is not to acquire the setting information, not to transmit the setting information to the another electronic whiteboard.
