PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To clearly inform the opposite party of the difference between a still picture generated from the state of interrupting communication and a still picture in holding state by synthesizing a moving character or symbol with the still picture and transmitting it. SOLUTION: In speech state, switches a3 and b6 are connected to a side A and the image of an object 1 shot by a video camera 2 is successively stored in an image memory 7 as a still picture and outputted through a coding part 4 to a communication line 5 in real time as a moving image. In the holding state, on the other hand, the switches a3 and b6 are connected to a side B and the still picture of the object 1 stored in the image memory 7 is synthesized with the moving character or symbol, which shows the holding state, outputted from a signal generating part 8 by a signal synthesizing part 9, and outputted through the image coding part 4 to the communication line 5. The moving character or symbol showing the holding state is the flicker, scroll move or rotary move of character or symbol, for example. |
