<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a realistic sense of a conference, etc. by an improved audio articulation and sound image direction of a voice synchronized with a visual image. <P>SOLUTION: Terminal equipment provided on a multiplicity of points are connected to a network. Each terminal equipment includes a plurality of audio output channels 109 and a plurality of video output channels 107. An audio superposition unit 150 performs superposition processing, corresponding to the number of audio output channels connecting speakers, etc., based on each audio information set of other terminal equipment fetched via the network. Also, a video superpositing unit 140 performs superposition processing, corresponding to the number of video output channels connecting monitors, based on each video information set of other terminal equipment fetched via the network and the video information fetched from a camera 182. Thus, the voice and the video images from each point are output, with the appropriate distribution of the voice and video images to the plurality of channels. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI |
