Conferencing system, server, information processing device and non-transitory recording medium

A server that is connected to multiple information processing devices over a network and provides each of the multiple information processing devices with a conference screen, thereby supporting a video conference, comprising:

• a participant information generator performing face detection processing to extract a face image associated with a first participant and a face image associated with a second participant based on an image captured by a first information processing device;
• a first participant information obtaining unit that determines, based on the face image associated with the first participant, first participant information corresponding to the first participant, wherein the first participant participates in the video conference by using the first information processing device;
• a second participant information obtaining unit that determines, based on the face image associated with the second participant, second participant information related to, wherein the second participant indirectly participates in the video conference using the first information processing device;
• and
• a display controller that:
• displays the first participant information obtained by the first participant information obtaining unit in a first position providing first identification information on a predetermined display area on the conference screen;
• and
• displays the second participant information obtained by the second participant information obtaining unit in a second position providing second identification information on the predetermined display area on the conference screen, wherein the second position displays the second participant, wherein the first position and the second position are different.

An information processing device that is connected to a server over a network and conducts a video conference using a platform for a video conference provided by the server, comprising:

• a first participant information generator that:
• performs face detection processing to extract a face image associated with a first participant based on an image captured by a first information processing device;
• generates, based on the face image associated with the first participant, first participant information corresponding to the first participant, wherein the first participant participates in the video conference by using the first information processing device;
• and
• transmits the first participant information to the server;
• a second participant information generator that:
• performs face detection processing to extract a face image associated with a second participant based on the image captured by the first information processing device;
• generates, based on the face image associated with the second participant, second participant information corresponding to the second participant, wherein the second participant indirectly participates in the video conference using the first information processing device;
• and
• transmits the second participant information to the server;
• a conference screen obtaining unit that obtains a conference screen in which the first participant information is displayed in a first position providing first identification information on a predetermined display area, and the second participant information is displayed in a second position providing second identification on the predetermined display area from the server, wherein the first position and the second position are different;
• and
• a display unit that displays the conference screen obtained by the conference screen obtaining unit.

A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable program to be executed by a hardware processor in a server that is connected to multiple information processing devices over a network and provides each of the multiple information processing devices with a conference screen, thereby supporting a video conference wherein the computer readable program causes the hardware processor executing the computer readable program to:

• perform face detection processing to extract a face image associated with a first participant and a face image associated with a second participant based on an image captured by a first information processing device;
• determine, based on the face image associated with the first participant, first participant information corresponding to the first participant, wherein the first participant, participates in the video conference by using the first information processing device;
• determine, based on the face image associated with the second participant, second participant information related to the second participant, wherein the second participant indirectly participates in the video conference using the first information processing device;
• displaying the determined first participant information in a first position providing first identification information on a predetermined display area on the conference screen, and
• displaying the determined second participant information in a second position providing second identification information on the predetermined display area on the conference screen, wherein the second position displays the second participant, and wherein the first position and the second position are different.
