Dual (redundant) operation support servers are used to improve the reliability of a video conferencing system and ensure the stability of communication. Switching automatically one operation support server to another enables a video conference to be smoothly continued without interruption. Multiple operation support servers are provided, each including a synchronization function which synchronizes site connection information and live camera information between the operation support servers and prevents an operation support server in a standby state from writing live camera information in a folder for each site. Each site PC 14 includes an automatic server change function which, when an operation support server 11 in service fails, switches connection from the operation support server 11 to an operation support server 12 in a standby state. When the operation support server in service fails, the operation support server in a standby state writes live camera information into a folder for each site and each site PC changes connection from the operation support server that was in service to the operation support server in a standby state.

Touch panel operation devices, methods, and programs set a touch-off determination time, and determine that the touch-off has occurred if the state at which the touch panel detects the user not touching the touch panel has continued for the set touch-off determination time or more after the touch-off was detected. When the user is touching the touch panel, the devices, methods, and programs acquire a touch coordinate, select an object corresponding to the acquired touch coordinate, and scroll-display the selected object based on a displacement of the acquired touch coordinate. The devices, methods, and programs determine whether the touch coordinate was acquired and displaced just before the touch-off was detected, and if the touch coordinate was acquired and displaced just before the touch-off was detected, set the touch-off determination time to be longer than if the touch coordinate was acquired and not displaced just before the touch-off was detected.

Taught herein is a clutch control apparatus that suppresses oil leakage from a seal member of a hydraulic cylinder even when vibration occurs, without enhancing sealability of the seal member per se. The clutch control apparatus includes normally-closed first clutch, a hydraulic cylinder, a piston, a lip seal and a pressure holding control section. The first clutch is disposed between an engine and driving wheels and is held in engagement by an elastic force applied to the first clutch CL1 by a diaphragm spring. The lip seal is disposed on the piston and enhances sealability between the piston and a housing slide surface in accordance with an increase in hydraulic pressure in the piston chamber. When the first clutch is engaged, the pressure holding control section applies a hydraulic pressure to retain the sealability of the lip seal to the piston chamber while maintaining engagement of the first clutch.
