In an online game in which game players are able to communicate with each other by voice utterance, in order that information such as audio information representing a voice uttered by one of the game players in synchronization with video image information may be output in synchronization with video image information in a terminal on the side of the other game player, a sending end terminal (301) of an online game system (201) plays back sending end video image information when a playback start condition is satisfied, accepts the input of audio information from the game player, transmits to a receiving end terminal (401) audio information (synchronous audio information) and other than the synchronous audio information (asynchronous audio information) both of which were input during the playback. The receiving end terminal (401) receives audio information transmitted from the sending end terminal (301), audibly outputs the received audio information if the received audio information is asynchronous audio information, starts the playing back of receiving end video image information after the received information changes in type from asynchronous audio information to synchronous audio information, and performs buffering with respect to synchronous audio information so that the synchronous audio information is audibly output in synchronization with receiving end audio information. |
