The server 1 transmits data IDs to the server 2 on the basis of individual identification information of the user terminals 16-17, 26-27, data IDs for identifying data to be shared among users, and conference connection device identification information, that are acquired through the conference connection devices 12, 22, and associates the individual identification information with the device identification information to manage the information by conference session units for identifying a conference.
