CONFERENCE MULTIMEDIA SUMMARY SUPPORT SYSTEM AND METHOD

A system and a user interface make it possible to easily edit important items of a program, such as a conference, in a short time using multimedia information. A retrieving file is generated by extracting a keyword from multimedia information input through a dynamic image input unit such as a camera, a voice input unit such as a microphone, a handwritten character input unit, a pointing unit such as a mouse, and a key-input unit such as a keyboard. A report preparation supporting system and a user interface make it possible to easily edit a report in a short time by referring to the retrieving file and retrieving and editing a scene in which an important item appears when the report is prepared.
