For distributing a user image corresponding to the user position in a virtual space, the invention provides a method of fetching the user image taken with a video camera into the main body of a computer (S 1 ), judging the user position in the virtual space (S 2 ), setting a large quantization coefficient in case of an office view (S 3 ) but setting a small quantization coefficient and an even smaller quantization coefficients for a face area in other cases (S 4 ), then compression encoding the image data with the designated quantization coefficient ((S 5 ) and transferring the image data to a host server apparatus 12 through a network (S 6 ). The user terminal receives images of other users from the host server apparatus (S 7 ), expands the image data (S 8 ) and displays the image data on a display apparatus 44 (S 9 ).
