An information processing system and a method for operating same are provided. The information processing system (100) includes a first information processing apparatus (30A) and a second information processing apparatus (30B). The first information processing apparatus (30A) is configured to display a first synchronous image in a first window, the first window having an operation right. The second information processing apparatus (30B) has a synchronous state or an asynchronous state. The second information processing apparatus (30B) is configured to: display a second synchronous image; in response to a first request, switch from the synchronous state to the asynchronous state; and in response to a second request, switch from the asynchronous state to the synchronous state.
