Communications apparatus and method of communication using the same

摘要

A communications apparatus, usable in a communications terminal (1), for relaying and transmitting both motion picture information and code data. The apparatus includes first and second memories (13,14) for storing motion picture information for transmission and coded data, respectively. This apparatus is provided with receiving means (11) for receiving motion picture information from another terminal (5) and also transmitting means (17) for transmitting motion picture information and code data to another terminal (2). The transmitting means (17) is adapted to read motion picture information from the first memory (13) in preference to code data stored in the second memory (14) and to transmit the motion picture information it has read in frame units. Code data, read from the second memory (14), is inserted between the frame units of motion picture information.
