At the same time, the voice of the speech made by the participant at the place where the electronic board device 12 is installed is converted into a voice signal by the microphone 34.
It is transmitted to the mobile terminal 16 and output as voice. If the user of the mobile terminal 16 wants to speak in addition to the speaker's nomination by the organizer, the mobile terminal 16 participates on the display device 30 by sending data to the electronic board device 12 inviting to speak. A message indicating that the person is requesting to speak is displayed. When the organizer performs an operation for designating a statement on this display, the designation information is sent to the mobile terminal 16 and the statement can be made.

When the electronic board device 12 receives utterance requests from a plurality of mobile terminals 16 at the same time, the speaking right is designated to any one of the mobile terminals 16 according to the utterance priority mode set at that time. Then, the voice communication is started. If the data terminal 18 and the facsimile device 20 also have the same data and voice communication function as the mobile terminal 16, data communication with the electronic board device 12 of the office 10 via the network 14 is performed in the same manner. And conference participation by voice call can be realized.

When the series of conferences are completed, the electronic board device 12 notifies the mobile terminal 16 of the end of the conference by the operation of the conference organizer. Further, the image displayed on the display device 30 during the conference can be output to the printer 38 from the data output unit 36 each time as needed. It can also be stored in a memory (not shown) if necessary.

Although the system shown in FIG. 2 is based on the example of communication with the electronic board device 12 by a wireless line, the electronic board device 1 is connected by a wired line in addition to the wireless line.
It is also possible to connect to 2 and participate in the conference. FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the electronic board device of the present invention which functions as an electronic action schedule together with the system configuration.

Here, as for the office leaving time and the office leaving time, for example, the office leaving and office automatic management system of the office using a magnetic card or the like is used to automatically display the respective office leaving time and office leaving time. Each person's schedule can be written, changed, deleted, etc. using the mobile terminal 16, the telephone 42, or the input / output board 22.

For example, the case of rewriting the electronic action schedule from the outside using the mobile terminal 16 is as follows. When it is desired to change the action schedule using the mobile terminal 16 from outside the company, the mobile terminal 16 transmits the change information by voice, that is, the time, the destination, the leaving time, and the like. In the electronic board device 40, the voice signal from the mobile terminal 16 is analyzed by the voice processing unit 46 and converted into data, and at the same time, the mobile terminal 16 sends an ID number indicating a name. Change information is written at the position of the schedule specified by the number.

At the time of changing the action schedule, a flicker display is performed on the display portion of the changed schedule. The content displayed on the action schedule is converted into a voice signal for confirmation, transmitted to the mobile terminal 16, and output as voice. Therefore, the user of the mobile terminal 16 hears the content returned from the electronic board device 40, and if correct, transmits the confirmation data to the electronic board device 40 and completes the processing. The electronic board device 40 that has received the confirmation data from the mobile terminal 16 switches the display contents that had been blinking until then to lighting, and ends the series of processes.

Here, the electronic board device 40 manages the scheduled input time of the action schedule on a daily basis, for example. If the action plan is not entered even after the input time has passed, for example, change the corresponding column of the person who has not entered the action plan from the normal display color "black" to "green" and enter the action plan. Indicates that is delayed. Further, the electronic board device 40
Is formatted, for example, every start-work start time according to the change of the date and time displayed in the action schedule. in this case,
If the dates of action schedules are over, the schedule contents are not erased and the display is carried forward.
