## Abstract

According to one embodiment, a system includes a receiver, a controller, and a transmitter. The receiver receives a plurality of stroke data, which correspond to a plurality of strokes handwritten on first contents in a plurality of terminals, from the plurality of terminals. The controller stores the plurality of stroke data in a storage medium, the plurality of stroke data associated with an identifier of a terminal which is a sender. The transmitter transmits to a first terminal of the plurality of terminals one or more first stroke data of the plurality of stroke data. The one or more first stroke data are stroke data associated with an identifier of a terminal other than the first terminal.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system comprising:
a receiver configured to receive a plurality of stroke data, which correspond to a plurality of strokes handwritten on first contents in a plurality of terminals, from the plurality of terminals;
a controller configured to store the plurality of stroke data in a storage medium, the plurality of stroke data associated with an identifier of a terminal which is a sender; and
a transmitter configured to transmit to a first terminal of the plurality of terminals one or more first stroke data of the plurality of stroke data, the one or more first stroke data being associated with an identifier of a terminal other than the first terminal.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1,
wherein the plurality of stroke data are associated with time information corresponding to handwriting timings of the plurality of stroke data, and
wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit to the first terminal the one or more first stroke data and the time information corresponding to the one or more first stroke data.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of stroke data are associated with an identifier corresponding to the first contents.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of stroke data comprises a thickness or a color of a stroke corresponding to each of the plurality of stroke data.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of stroke data includes erase stroke data corresponding to a stroke which is handwritten in an erase mode.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the transmitter is further configured to determine a terminal from which stroke data is to be provided to the first terminal, in response to a request from the first terminal.

### Claim 7

A data providing method comprising:
receiving a plurality of stroke data, which correspond to a plurality of strokes handwritten on first contents in a plurality of terminals, from the plurality of terminals;
storing the plurality of stroke data in a storage medium, the plurality of stroke data associated with an identifier of a terminal which is a sender; and
transmitting to a first terminal of the plurality of terminals one or more first stroke data of the plurality of stroke data, the one or more first stroke data being associated with an identifier of a terminal other than the first terminal.

### Claim 8

A computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon a computer program which is executable by a computer, the program controlling the computer to execute functions of:
receiving a plurality of stroke data, which correspond to a plurality of strokes handwritten on first contents in a plurality of terminals, from the plurality of terminals;
storing the plurality of stroke data in a storage medium, the plurality of stroke data associated with an identifier of a terminal which is a sender; and
transmitting to a first terminal of the plurality of terminals one or more first stroke data of the plurality of stroke data, the one or more first stroke data being associated with an identifier of a terminal other than the first terminal.

### Claim 9

An electronic apparatus comprising:
a transmitter configured to transmit to a system first stroke data corresponding to a first stroke which is handwritten on first content displayed on a display of the electronic apparatus;
a receiver configured to receive from the system second stroke data corresponding to a second stroke which is handwritten on first content displayed on a display of another terminal; and
a drawing process module configured to draw the second stroke on the first content displayed on the display of the electronic apparatus, based on the second stroke data.
