VIDEO CONFERENCE SYSTEM AND METHOD USING SIGN LANGUAGE TO SUBTITLE CONVERSION FUNCTION

摘要

PURPOSE: A video conference system using a sign language-caption converting function and a method thereof are provided to convert a voice of a conference participant into a caption and supply the caption to an impaired participant. CONSTITUTION: A voice-caption converting unit(17) extracts a caption corresponding to a voice from a conference image of a second conference participant. The voice-caption converting unit adds the extracted caption to the conference image. An image mixing unit(13) mixes an image of a first conference image with an image of the second conference participant. An encoder(14) encodes the mixed image. A transmitting unit(15) transmits the encoded mixed image to the terminals of the first and second conference participants.
