ABSTRACT:
During an electronic conference, an operator is able to have an independent meeting with a number of the participants of the electronic conference. A conference layer and a side conversation layer are provided. When side conversation is to be started, a member to participate in side conversation is selected from members participating in the conference in the conference layer, and the selected member is moved to a member panel. Upon pressing a start button, a side conversation layer is generated and displayed. Side conversation enables selected members to share information independent of the main conference. A layer select button enables to select either of the conference layer or side conversation layer. A layer copy button enables the copying of an image from the conference layer to the side conversation layer.
