Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to easily record and retrieve a story on an optional printed matter such as a newspaper, a magazine, a periodical publication, a catalogue, a book, and a pamphlet. SOLUTION: Since a user identifier(UID) is normally set and controlled by a service provider and added to each document (original) when distributing the UID by a normal publisher, the UID can be read out by a user, preferably by a simple reader for electronically inputting it to a user's personal archive. Although the personal archive can be maintained by a human or another (or the same) service provider, the archive can be individually set in order to determine the contents of a user's own archive. A controlled access system having access certification (time controllable) issued to a requested user assures a user access to a stored electronic copy.

Abstract: A teleconferencing system 10 comprises one or more telecommunication systems 1;2;3, and two or more subscriber terminals 61;71 connected to said telecommunication systems. An electronic computing means 4 is connected the telecommunication systems of the teleconferencing system. The electronic computing means, which is typically a server-type computer, runs a conference initiating program 5. Means is provided for supplying an availability signal based on presence information associated with each subscriber terminal. The availability signal is accessible to the server. The telecommunication systems cooperate with the conferencing initiating program to initiate a conference between the subscriber terminals. The program 5 initiates a conference between the subscriber terminals by attempting transmission of a conference call when such call is requested by any of said subscriber terminals. The conference call is transmitted to each subscriber terminal as soon as its associated availability signal indicates availability of that terminal.
