Information processing apparatus for sending and receiving written data with identification information

An information processing apparatus, which has a board to which data can be written, sends written data to other apparatuses, and receives written data from the other apparatuses via a communicating means, comprising:

• transmitting means for adding information inherent of said written data to said written data including identification information of the apparatus, and for transmitting the written data and the inherent information to the other apparatuses;
• receiving means for receiving the written data transmitted from the other apparatuses together with added inherent information;
• and
• display means for displaying the received written data in accordance with the added inherent information including received apparatus identification information, wherein said display means displays the written data transmitted from each apparatus in a different color or kind of line from the written data transmitted from the other apparatuses, and firstly displays the written data received from one apparatus before the data received from any of the other apparatuses.

An information processing apparatus, which has a board to which data can be written, sends written data to other apparatuses, and receives written data from the other apparatuses via a communicating means, comprising;

• writing means for writing data to said board;
• transmitting means for adding information inherent of said written data to said written data including identification information of the apparatus, and for transmitting the written data and the inherent information to the other apparatuses;
• receiving means for receiving the written data transmitted from the other apparatuses together with added inherent information;
• display means for displaying the received written data in accordance with the added inherent information including received apparatus identification information,
• wherein said display means displays the written data transmitted from each apparatus in a different color or kind of line from the written data transmitted from the other apparatuses, and displays said received written data immediately when said received written data are received from the other apparatuses while a user using the display means is not writing data by using said writing means.
