Multi-party communication system, terminal device, multi-party communication method, program and recording medium

摘要

The present invention provides a multi-party communication system in which the speaking party can be identified aurally and the speech contents can be accurately transmitted to the party at the receiving terminal. A multi-party communication server and a plurality of terminal devices with a communication function make up the multi-party communication system. Each terminal device with the communication function includes a speech right management unit, a speaking party name output unit and a buffer unit. The speaking party name output unit outputs the voice data of the speaking party identification information such as the name of the speaking party. The buffer unit accumulates the speech voice of the user as voice data. The speech right management unit controls the buffer unit to produce an output after the speaking party output unit. The speech right management unit issues a request to cancel the right to speak after completion of the output of the speech voice data.
