Information output apparatus, electronics conference system, information output method, and storage medium in which control program is stored

An electronic conference system comprising:

• a signal receiving apparatus;
• a display apparatus;
• a printing apparatus;
• a signal detection section for detecting, from a signal received by the signal receiving apparatus, a signal of emergency information that is information for an emergency situation;
• a storage apparatus for storing evacuation information that is associated with the emergency information and is used in an evacuation from an installation site of the display apparatus;
• and
• a control section which, if the signal detection section detects the signal of the emergency information, (i) causes the storage apparatus to store display information that is being displayed on the display apparatus, (ii) reads the evacuation information out of the storage apparatus, (iii) causes the display apparatus to display the evacuation information and the emergency information, and (iv) causes the printing apparatus to print out the evacuation information, the storage apparatus employing an optical information storage medium comprising:
• a first storage layer which allows only information reading by use of a laser beam, in which first storage layer the evacuation information is stored;
• and
• a second storage layer which is a re-writable storage layer, the control section causing the second storage layer to store the display information, and reading the evacuation information out of the first storage layer.

An information output method using an information output apparatus,

• the information output apparatus comprising:
• a signal receiving apparatus;
• a display apparatus;
• a printing apparatus;
• a signal detection section for detecting, from a signal received by the signal receiving apparatus, a signal of emergency information that is information for an emergency situation;
• and
• a storage apparatus for storing evacuation information that is associated with the emergency information and is used in an evacuation from an installation site of the display apparatus, the storage apparatus being an optical information storage medium comprising:
• a first storage layer which is a storage region allowing only information reading by use of a laser beam, in which first storage layer the evacuation information is stored;
• and
• a second storage layer is a re-writable storage layer,
• the information output method comprising the steps of:
• in a case where the signal detection section detects the signal of the emergency information, (i) writing information that is being displayed on the display apparatus on the second storage layer;
• (ii) reading the evacuation information out of the first storage layer;
• (iii) causing the display apparatus to display the evacuation information and the emergency information;
• and
• (iv) causing the printing apparatus to print out the evacuation information.

A computer-readable storage medium for storing a control program for controlling an information output apparatus comprising:

• a signal receiving apparatus;
• a display apparatus;
• a printing apparatus;
• a signal detection section for detecting, from a signal received by the signal receiving apparatus, a signal of emergency information that is information for an emergency situation;
• and
• a storage apparatus for storing evacuation information that is associated with the emergency information and is used in an evacuation from an installation site of the display apparatus, the storage apparatus being an optical information storage medium comprising:
• a first storage layer which is a storage region allowing only information reading by use of a laser beam, in which first storage layer the evacuation information is stored;
• and
• a second storage layer is a re-writable storage layer, the control program causing a computer to execute the steps of:
• in a case where the signal detection section detects the signal of the emergency information, (i) writing information that is being displayed on the display apparatus on the second storage layer;
• (ii) reading the evacuation information out of the first storage layer;
• (iii) causing the display apparatus to display the evacuation information and the emergency information;
• and
• (iv) causing the printing apparatus to print out the evacuation information.
