| 1. A server-client network conference system comprising:
a conference server having
a real-time conference data file containing real-time conference data placed on time series and
an index file used to search the real-time conference data file and having time-of-day information, heading information, and
information to access the real-time conference data file as they are associated with each other; and
a conference terminal as a client connected to the conference server through a network,
wherein, after a real-time conference is over, the real-time conference data file is accessed based on the heading information
in the index file and any desired real-time conference data can be read and played back on the conference terminal,
wherein the conference terminal includes a manual input unit for a user to manually enter a heading insertion request, and
wherein the conference server is configured such that, if a participant of the real-time conference enters the heading insertion
request during the real-time conference, the conference server:
determines a time which precedes a point in time at which the heading insertion request is entered,
sets a manually inserted heading at the determined time, and
records information of the setup heading in the index file.
