PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a naturalistic video image without a sense of incongruity by providing an image pickup means that photographs an image of the user using a remote conference terminal and an image pickup direction variable means that varies an image pickup direction of the remote conference terminal. SOLUTION: A user 15A opens a liquid crystal display panel section 13A, turns a camera head section 14A, raises it from a container section 16A to photograph the user itself. After the end of photographing, the user turns the camera head section 14A and puts it in the container section 16A and closes the liquid crystal display panel section 13A. A microphone picking up a voice signal and a speaker outputting a voice of an opposite party are placed respectively at a prescribed position of a PC 11A. When an instruction is received from the user 15A by various operation keys, a photographed image 18A of the user 15A and the picked-up voice signal are sent to a PC 11B used by the user of the opposite party via a communication line 12 and then the image is displayed on a screen and the voice is outputted. |
