Receiving terminal communicator 100B, 100C are respectively in instruction information interpreting unit 108, based on the instruction information received Determine corresponding video, in content-data receives unit 106, from this video, intercept image (step S1106, S1108), and The seizure image of intercepting is saved in seizure image holding unit 109 (step S1107, S1109).

More than as, in one of them communicator 100 in multiple communicators, user have input instruction from video Middle intercepting and preserve image image preserve instruction in the case of, this video send receive all communicators 100 in, enter Row is from this video intercepting image and as catching the process that image preserves.Thus, all of communication receiving this video is being sent In device 100, the image that catches comprising same picture material is stored in the seizure image holding unit of each communicator 100 In 109, can the sharing of same picture material in the multiple communicator of real-time implementation 100.

Further, the seizure image intercepted out in multiple each devices of communicator 100 is likely not necessarily same The image that timing intercepts out, but at least (being have input image by user and preserving the moment of instruction) from sometime is regular The image intercepted out in video captured after between, is the image comprising same picture material.Such as, each place is being used to set The communicator 100 put is connected in the meeting in each place, in the case of the data of shooting regulation carries out meeting simultaneously, according to One mode of the technology of the present invention, can preserve, in each communicator 100, seizure image (that is, the shooting comprising same picture material The image of the data of regulation).

Additionally, in the action shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, illustrate to preserve bag in all communicators 100 constituting system The situation catching image containing same picture material, but such as can also the most specific 1 or multiple stage communicator 100 (belong to The communicator 100 of specific group) carry out catching the preservation of image.Such as, this can be sent only to belong to by instruction information This communicator of specific group 100 or be not belonging to this communicator of specific group 100 and ignore instruction information and realize.

(during interruption)

Additionally, each communicator 100 preserves instruction at image based on user's input or instruction information performs the guarantor of image When depositing process, it is also possible to disconnect (interruption) other same instruction.Such as, based on user's input or the image of instruction information In the case of preserving the intercepting process that instruction has started image, the instruction information generating unit 107 of communicator 100 or instruction letter Breath Interpretation unit 108, in the intercepting of this image processes, even if receiving the new instruction of the preservation of image, it is also possible to ignore this New instruction.Additionally, for example, it is also possible to by defeated for the instruction in GUI (Graphical User Interface: graphic user interface) Enter to preserve the button inactive (being set to the state that can not click on) etc. of image, it is impossible to carry out the user of preservation for indicating image Input itself.Thus, even if be transfused to instruction at multiple places (multiple communicator 100) and carried out regarding from certain the most simultaneously The image intercepting and preserving image in Pin preserves the instruction of instruction, the most only foremost effectively, can not repeat preservation and contain same The image of picture material.

During further, interrupt newly indicating in the intercepting of image processes, in can only interrupting processing about the preservation of image The new image of video preserves instruction, does not interrupt the instruction of the video different about the video in processing from the preservation of image, or Person, it is also possible to not only interrupt the new image of the video in processing about the preservation of image and preserve instruction, and interrupt about with The preservation of image process in the new instruction (that is, all of new image preserve instruction) of the different video of video.Such as, this can Realized by identification, so that video or multiple photographing unit, PC, other the video of multiple basic point can be determined respectively The video of transcriber etc..

Additionally, disconnect the period (during interruption) of other same instruction, such as, can be as the regulation determined in advance Period (such as, several seconds), it is also possible to the period till processing as the preservation completing image in this communicator 100, Or can also be as the phase till also being able to confirm to complete the intention of the preservation process of image in other communicators 100 Between.

In the flow chart illustrated in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, as an example, during interrupting, it is illustrated that set each communication dress Put 100A～100C be able to confirm that complete in all of communicator 100A～100C image preservation process intention be The situation (step S1010 of Fig. 3 or step S1110 of Fig. 4) of period only.In the case of Gai, such as, each communicator 100 exists In the case of completing the preservation process of image, the intention that the preservation completing image processes is notified to other communicators 100 (step S1011 of Fig. 3 or step S1111 of Fig. 4), completes at the preservation of image confirming all of communicator 100 In the case of reason, each communicator 100 can also release new image and preserve the interruption of instruction.

Further, confirm that the process completing the intention of the preservation process of image in all of communicator 100 can be passed through Arbitrary method realizes.Such as, as above-mentioned, each communicator 100, in the case of the preservation completing image processes, passes through Other communicators 100 are notified completion notice, it is possible between communicator 100, reciprocally send reception completion notice, can be All of communicator 100 confirms complete the intention that the preservation of image processes.Additionally, for example, it is also possible to by each communication Device 100 (such as, have sent instruction information to the communicator 100 of regulation in the case of the preservation completing image processes Communicator 100, send the communicator 100 of video or the communicator 100 etc. in advance determined) notice completion notice, The state of each communicator 100 grasped by the communicator of this regulation, and is able to confirm that and completes in all of communicator 100 In the case of the preservation of image processes intention, all of communicator 100 is sent and represents the information terminated during interrupting.

Even if additionally, each communicator 100 completes the guarantor of image at the communicator 100 that cannot confirm more than at least 1 In the case of depositing process, it is also possible to release in the case of the period that have passed through regulation during interrupting.Further, at least 1 with On communicator 100 in the case of the preservation of image processes upper failure, this communicator 100 can also pass through some method Carry out image obtains (with reference to (creating the process in the case of the deviation of image) described later) again.

Additionally, in during interrupting, for example, it is also possible to notice carries out the intention of image preservation process or shows relevant new Image preserve user's intention etc. of being interrupted of input of instruction user fed back.In the case of Gai, each communicator 100 As long as just to set in the way of necessarily carrying out this feedback to user in interrupt processing, or instruction information can sent Communicator 100 requests for each user in the case of carrying out this feedback together with instruction information, it is also possible to in each communication The mode carrying out in device 100 feeding back sets.

(determining the imparting of the information catching image)

Additionally, each communicator 100 is for the seizure image preserved, it is also possible to distribution determines the information catching image, enters Row catches the management of image.Determine that the information catching image is, with the seizure image associate management of preservation in each communicator 100 , catch image identification information.

Especially, (image of a certain user is protected to preserve instruction based on same image in essentially all of communicator 100 Deposit input) preserve the seizure image comprising same picture material, so comprising same for preservation in each communicator 100 The seizure image of picture material, gives and determines that the information (following, to be recited as sharing ID) shared catching image is effective.Altogether It is for determining about the seizure image preserved in each communicator 100 with ID, is to preserve instruction based on same image to generate Seizure image and effective information.

The imparting of above-mentioned shared ID can be performed by the ID managing device etc. of arbitrary communicator 100 or additionally setting (share the generation of ID and notify to each communicator 100).Additionally, the timing given for shared ID is also without limiting especially, The seizure image comprising same picture material for preservation in each communicator 100 finally gives shared ID, such as, is carrying out During image display, according to the appointment of this shared ID, each communicator 100 can show the seizure image comprising same picture material ?.Such as, in the process completing to confirm in step S1011 of Fig. 3 or step S1111 of Fig. 4, it is also possible to carry out ID Imparting.

Following, illustrate to preserve the communicator 100 of instruction by being input by a user image, send the communication dress of video The ID managing device (1 in communicator 100 or the ID managing device of additionally setting) of the authority put 100, providing ID to give One of them situation of imparting carrying out sharing ID.

Such as, the communicator 100 preserving instruction by being input by a user image (that is, sends the communication of instruction information Device 100), it is also possible to carry out sharing the imparting of ID.Such as, receiving terminal communicator 100B has and carries out in the example in figure 3 Sharing the authority of the imparting of ID, transmitting terminal communicator 100A has the authority carrying out ID imparting in the example in fig. 4.Additionally, As above-mentioned, the imparting sharing ID can carried out in arbitrary timing, but by such as with send the instruction information (step of Fig. 3 Step S1103 of S1003 or Fig. 4) simultaneously carry out sharing the imparting of ID, the imparting of high efficiency shared ID can be realized.These feelings Under condition, such as, the communicator 100 sending instruction information generates the shared ID distributed when saving image, can be by altogether Being sent collectively to other communicators 100 with ID with instruction information, all of communicator 100 is grasped and is shared ID, based on this In the seizure image of instruction information interception, association shares ID.

Additionally, such as, by sending the communicator of the video of the object as image preservation, it is also possible to carry out the tax of ID Give.Such as, in the example of Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, transmitting terminal communicator 100A has the authority carrying out sharing the imparting of ID.Additionally, such as Above-mentioned, the imparting sharing ID can be carried out in arbitrary timing, but the video of the object such as preserved as image in transmission Communicator 100 also have regulation from video, intercept the timing of image and the function of notice in the case of, by with from video The timing information of middle intercepting image carry out together sharing ID imparting (and, represent the letter of timing intercepting image from video Breath itself can also utilize as shared ID), the imparting of high efficiency shared ID can be realized, and reduce each communicator 100 In the time deviation that preserves of image, carry out image preservation when stabilizing video (with reference to (video steady described later Fixed) and (suppression of image deviations in each communicator)).

Additionally, for example, it is also possible to set in system and have the ID managing device giving the authority sharing ID, this ID manages Device carries out sharing the imparting of ID.This ID managing device can be often to carry out sharing the communication of the regulation of the setting of the imparting of ID Device 100, maybe can also be realized by the communicator different from communicator 100.In the case of Gai, similarly share ID's Imparting can also be carried out in arbitrary timing.Further, manage as ID making the communicator different from communicator 100 have In the case of the function of device, for example, it is also possible to be set in advance, the instruction information sending reception between communicator 100 also arrives This ID managing device, can detect the instruction information sending reception between communicator 100 by ID managing device.

Further, as above-mentioned, even not from arbitrary communicator 100 or ID managing device to all of communicator 100 notices share ID, and each communicator 100 gives ID for seizure image alone to be preserved and (below, is recited as this locality ID) situation, sets certain rule by the local ident for giving, and each communicator 100 also can use same local ident Manage the seizure image comprising same picture material.Such as, each communicator 100, as to the seizure image preserved successively The local ident being managed, it is possible to use by the numbering (ascending order) number being set to start number of regulation.In the case of Gai, respectively communicate dress Put the 100 seizure images that such as can preserve the 1st give ' 0001 ', the seizure image that preserves the 2nd give ' 0002 ' etc. that The local ident shared of sample manages.

Additionally, each communicator 100 can also generate comprises this locality having carried out catching the time information etc. that image preserves ID, carries out catching the management of image.In the case of Gai, each communicator 100 be used as the time information of local ident likely all Communicator 100 in the most identical, but after being transfused to a certain image and preserving instruction in certain period, at each communicator Preserve in 100 and catch image, so can will exist by having the local ident of the time information comprised in the range of certain time period The image that catches managed in each communicator 100 is seen as comprising the seizure image of same picture material.

(stablizing of video)

Additionally, when carrying out image and preserving, it is also possible to carry out in the communicator 100 sending video video stable, Or confirm in the communicator 100 receiving video video stable after carry out image preservation.Stablizing by video, each logical T unit 100 can preserve high-quality image (such as, the image of the high-resolution that image resolution ratio is high), and at each communication dress Put and agonic image (that is, containing the seizure image of same picture material) in 100, can be preserved.

Here, the stablizing of video refers to for suppressing video disorderly because of the variation drastically of the portfolio of communication etc., or The action producing inconsistent situation is engraved when the acquisition of each basic point video.

Such as, the communicator 100 sending video preserves instruction at the image receiving user's input or instruction information In the case of be stable pattern by video transfer, suppress to cut by certain period (such as, to finishing between above-mentioned interval) Change video or greatly change action, it is also possible to reducing the deviation (deviation of the frame that should preserve) of the image that should preserve.

And, as the pattern making video stabilization, it is also possible to the image resolution ratio of this video is preferential, or by error correction or number (communication of this process is utilized according to the further High Level of process (increasing quantity of information, obtain the allowed time etc. fully) retransmitted Stable relation stablizing to video).In addition it is also possible to the video flowing of this video is fixed (semifixed), the most During individual frame, become the unconverted state of video or state with low uncertainty.Such as, the communicator 100 of video is sent for making Video for the object that image preserves, it is also possible to only use frame internal information coding (to compile in frame in during interrupting during Video coding Code).

Additionally, the communicator 100 sending video can also such as transfer to make the meaning of the pattern of above-mentioned video stabilization Purport explicitly notifies to the communicator 100 receiving video.Such as, the communicator 100 sending video carries out instruction information In the case of situation about sending or the imparting carrying out sharing ID, the communicator 100 sending video can also be believed with above-mentioned instruction The transmission of breath or the imparting of shared ID come together to notify to transfer to make the intention of the pattern of video stabilization.Additionally, send video In the case of communicator 100 requests the pattern transferring to make video stabilization at the communicator 100 from reception video, it is possible to To transfer to make the pattern of this video stabilization.

Additionally, such as, in the communicator 100 receiving video, it is also possible to wait for video stable after carry out The intercepting catching image processes, for example, it is also possible to by complete by the recovery (fault-tolerance) of error correction, the video retransmitting the receptions such as control Become certain benchmark using first-class as triggering, carry out intercepting and the preservation of image.Additionally, receive video communicator 100 for Send the communicator 100 of video, it is also possible to explicitly ask to the mode shifts making video stabilization.Such as, video is being received Communicator 100 carry out the transmission situation of instruction information or carry out sharing the imparting of ID in the case of, for sending video Communicator 100, the communicator 100 receiving video can also be together with the imparting of the transmission of above-mentioned instruction information or shared ID Notice request is to the intention of the transfer of the pattern making video stabilization.

(suppression of the image deviations in each communicator)

Additionally, each communicator 100 intercepts from video individually catches image, so such as because of the time delay of communication Or the factor such as processing delay time, it is possible to preserve in each communicator 100 catch image time engrave generation deviation (especially Ground, preserves the moment of image and communicating of have received instruction information in the communicator 100 being transfused to image preservation instruction Deviation (difference) between the moment preserving image in device 100) or likely produce the quality of the image of preservation in each place Deviation (difference) in (such as, image resolution ratio).In the case of being able to ensure that sufficient communication band, necessary information passes The defeated required time is few, and the probability producing the timeliness deviation of such image or the deviation of quality is little, but at communication frequency Band declines, or when the error in data in communication path increases, the transmission of content-data spends the time, or produces what transmission caused The quality deterioration of content-data, so there being the difference of the picture material comprised in truncated picture in each communicator 100 to increase Big trend.

Consider to occur the probability of such situation, it is also possible to arranging all of communicator 100, can to preserve deviation few The mechanism of image.As such mechanism, such as, as above-mentioned, communicate or the stabilisation of video is useful.In various places When point carries out the preservation of image, transfer to make the pattern of video stabilization by sending the communicator 100 of video such that it is able to will Stay-in-grade video or the video that (deviation) is few over time are supplied to other communicators 100.

Additionally, the mechanism of the few image of deviation can be preserved as all of communicator 100, for example, it is also possible to regulation The timing of image is intercepted from video.Intercepted the timing of image from video by regulation, each communicator 100 can the holding time The image (or agonic image) that the upper deviation is few.

The regulation of the timing of image and the notice of this timing is intercepted from video, as the imparting with above-mentioned shared ID, can Performed by the timing information managing device etc. of arbitrary communicator or additionally setting.I.e., such as, intercept from video The regulation of the timing of image and this timing notice, it is also possible to by be input by a user image preserve instruction communicator, The communicator sending video, the timing information managing device of authority providing regulation timing information (can pass through communicator In 1 or the communicator that additionally arranges realize) perform.In addition it is also possible to regulation to be intercepted from video image Timing and to notify that the device of this timing is set to the device of ID shared with imparting identical.

Additionally, intercept regulation and the notice thereof of the timing of image from video, as long as intercepting at each communicator 100 (that is, prior to intercepting the timing of image from video) before the process of image, it is possible to carry out in arbitrary timing.That is, from regarding Intercept the timing information of image in Pin, just need to carry out intercepting from video in each communicator 100 before the process of image Notice, but as long as before the process carrying out intercepting image from video, this notice timing is not particularly limited.

Additionally, as the timing information intercepting image from video, it is possible to use from video, intercept the moment of image (intrasystem shared moment), the frame number determining frame for obtaining the to be preserved video flowing catching image or time stamp, its Comprised in his video flowing can regularly identification information etc..Such as, it is informed about from video, intercepts the timing information of image Each communicator 100 (being notified of the communicator 100 of this timing information too), based on this timing information, carries out cutting of image Take process or preservation processes.In the case of defining the moment as the timing information intercepting image from video, can be by each logical The deviation of the image preserved in T unit 100 was suppressed to about the propagation delay time, additionally, for sending the communication dress of video Put the moment intercepting image in 100, by postponing to be equivalent to by the moment intercepting image in the communicator 100 receiving video Propagation delay time, and also consider the process delay etc. of the decoding of video information, deviation can be reduced further.

On the other hand, the information of the frame determining video flowing is being defined as the timing information intercepting image from video In the case of, each communicator 100 can intercept image from same frame, preserves the figure without time deviation in each communicator 100 Picture.

Additionally, the communicator 100 sending video is consistent with this timing information intercepting image from video, transfer to make The pattern of video stabilization, can by with image interception timing match and stay-in-grade video is supplied to other communicators 100.

Additionally, the device intercepting the timing information of image in regulation from video with the device carrying out sharing the imparting of ID is In the case of same device, caught, as to preserve, the shared ID that image should give, it is possible to use intercept from video The timing information of image or comprise the timing information intercepting image from video information (such as, as shared ID, it is also possible to Use ' Image Name+frame number ', ' Image Name+acquisition time stamp ', ' time: point: the second ') etc.).Thus, can carry out sharing the tax of ID simultaneously Give and intercept from video the notice of the timing information of image.

Additionally, especially, the device of the timing information intercepting image in regulation from video preserves as image with sending The communicator 100 of video of object be same device in the case of, as the shared ID that picture to be saved should be given, Use the information of frame determining video flowing, and easily optionally improve this frame (according to determining the information of frame and identified Frame) quality (such as, image resolution ratio).Thus, in the communicator 100 receiving video, it is possible to reliably preserve high-quality Amount and the seizure image comprising same picture material of timelessness deviation.Additionally, intercept image from video in regulation In the case of the communicator 100 of the video of the object that the device of timing information preserves with transmission image is same device, such as, The timing information of image can also be intercepted from video with transferring to make the notice of the pattern of video stabilization notice of coming together.

(creating the process in the case of the deviation of image)

(save additionally, save the situation of the big image of deviation at communicator 100 and do not comprise same picture material Catch the situation of image), the situation of instruction information can not be received, the intercepting of image processes and can not normally perform and can not enter Row catches the preservation situation etc. of image, at least 1 communicator 100, comprise the guarantor catching image of same picture material In the case of depositing failure, it is also possible to this communicator 100 is reset and carries out the mechanism that the acquisition again of image processes.

Judging whether to save the image that deviation is big, such as, user can carry out visual identity, or is communicating the most very The mistake when situation of the preservation of image, the mistake detected on the communication path of a fixed number, decoding has been carried out under stable state Situation by mistake, from video, intercept the situation of the timing generation deviation of image (such as, according to completing to confirm or later message is handed over Change, confirm as the frame number etc. catching this video that image preserves) under, it is also possible to it is judged as saving the image that deviation is big.This Outward, (according to completing confirmation or later arbitrary message exchange, confirm to be communicated by other in the situation that can not receive instruction information Device 100 has carried out catching the preservation of image) or can not normally perform the intercepting process of image and lose in the preservation of image In the case of losing, image is not saved itself, it is clear that can interpolate that as the preservation at the image comprising same picture material Upper failure.

Comprising in the preservation of image of same picture material in the case of failure, for example, it is possible to for the preservation of image The user of upper failed communicator 100, the user of the communicator 100 that have sent instruction information notify the mistake that image preserves Lose, maybe can also automatically carry out the process that image obtains again.

The method that image obtains again, for example, it is possible to again perform (to carry out i.e., by the process preserving image from video again The most identical process), or (such as, can also be sent this from other communicators 100 succeeded on the preservation of image The communicator 100 of video) obtain seizure image.

Additionally, before performing image interception and processing, such as do not improve severe communication environment in prediction and cannot obtain bag In the case of seizure image containing same picture material, it is also possible to the arbitrary communicator 100 for other asks to catch in advance The agency catching image obtains, and catches the copy (copy) of image from the distribution of these other arbitrary communicator 100.

(picture catching image shows)

Additionally, in arbitrary communicator 100, in the case of referring again to catching image, it is also possible to all of In communicator 100, display comprises the seizure image of same picture material.Hereinafter, with reference to Fig. 5, illustrate in the technology of the present invention In one mode, an example of the image display action in the case of user have input image display instruction.Fig. 5 is to represent at this In one mode of bright technology, the sequential of an example of the image display action in the case of user have input image display instruction Figure.Further, in Fig. 5, it is illustrated that in the system (such as, the system illustrated in Fig. 1) being made up of 3 communicators 100, pass through The communicator (following, to be recited as communicator 100D) indicated from the display of user's input picture and other communicators are (below, It is recited as communicator 100E, 100F) process one example that performs.

In Figure 5, also as Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, often to carry out believing including at least video between multiple communicators 100 Sending premised on the state received (step S2000) of the content-data of breath.Content-data is carried out between multiple communicators 100 Send receive state under, in a certain communicator 100 (communicator 100D), by user have input expression with select Certain catch image show together this seizure image image display instruction in the case of (step S2001), communicator In 100D, instruction information generating unit 107 generate and contain what the image display catching image indicating display to select indicated Instruction information (step S2002).

Additionally, communicator 100D is when generating instruction information, such as, the seizure image determined and select is associated The information (above-mentioned shared ID etc.) catching image is inserted in instruction information.

And, communicator 100D using the instruction information that generates in step S2002 as the display of instruction seizure image Image display instruction is sent to other communicators 100 (communicator 100E, 100F) (step S2003).Further, instruction information Sending method be arbitrary, instruction information can be sent to communication by clean culture, multicast or broadcast etc. by communicator 100D Device 100E, 100F.

Additionally, communicator 100D is parallel, in step with the generation of the instruction information in step S2002 and S2003 and transmission Based on the image display instruction inputted by user in rapid S2001, in communicator 100D self, also begin to the seizure that will select Image shows the process on display picture.Communicator 100D, by catching image sensing element 110, keeps from catching image Unit 109 reads the seizure image of correspondence, such as, receives unit 106 with content-data and restores and together with the video information that exports, The display device of monitor 300 grade connected by information output interface 102 is exported and shows (step S2004).

On the other hand, other communicators 100 (communicator 100E, 100F) receive the finger sent from communicator 100D After showing information, based on the instruction information received, read from the seizure image holding unit 109 of this device and select with communicator 100D That selects catches seizure image corresponding to image (such as, catch, according to determining, the seizure image that the information of image is identified), display In the display device of monitor 300 grade (step S2005, S2006).

During further, carry out the display catching image in each communicator 100, such as, can also change picture display mould Formula, synthesizes other video and seizure image in content-data receives unit 106, or change picture structure.

(GUI)

Then, an example of the GUI of communicator 100 in the technology of the present invention is described.Fig. 6 is represent the technology of the present invention one The figure of one example of the GUI of the communicator 100 of mode.

In an example of the display illustrated in Fig. 6, it is illustrated that show regarding of the content-data from the reception of each communicator 100 Frequently the video information viewing area 600 (picture top) of information and employ thumbnail icons (reducing the image after size) Catch image display area 610 (picture bottom).In Fig. 6, as an example, it is illustrated that the display picture in common communication, example As in video information viewing area 600 video of communication counterpart (communication counterpart A) of regulation by feature at main viewing area (video The left side of information display area 600) in (can also be shown by full frame), additionally, the video of self and other communication counterpart The video of (communication counterpart B) is mirrored in secondary viewing area (right side of video information viewing area 600).Further, can also Have the most in any combination or size configure the video from each place (each communicator 100), self video, other Multiple picture display mode of the video etc. of data video or another photographing unit.

In addition it is also possible to have the part (the vertically region etc. of the banding at the edge of left and right) at picture, will preserve The picture display mode that is displayed side by side of thumbnail icons catching image.In Fig. 6, it is illustrated that the district of the banding on the downside of picture In territory, by having the state shown by the picture display mode catching image display area 610.

Such as, catching image display area 610, such as, can take the time intuitively the seizure figure of sequence for user Picture, it is also possible to show thumbnail icons according to from the order the most sequentially saving seizure image.In addition it is also possible to pass through To respective thumbnail icons distribution number and show, will determine catch image information (above-mentioned shared ID etc.) association display, or Display catch moment that image is saved (or the communication when image preserves start elapsed time) etc., raising the catching of user Catch the identification of image and select upper convenience.

User can also be by the device (remote controller, the Mus that are connected in the information input interface that cooperates with communicator 100 Mark, keyboard, panel etc.), select with reference to catch image thumbnail icons while, it is possible to input picture display instruction. In the case of selected the thumbnail icons of seizure image to have input picture display instruction by user, such as, at display picture On (main viewing area or full frame show), the seizure image of selection is made to show on main viewing area.

Additionally, as above-mentioned, (catching of same picture material can will be comprised with the seizure image catching image corresponding selected Catch image) export the display device of monitor 300 grade of connection on other communicators 100, additionally, at other communicators In the case of have selected seizure image in 100, it is also possible to corresponding seizure image (is comprised the seizure figure of same picture material Picture) export the display device of monitor 300 grade of connection on this communicator 100.

Thus, as result, in all places in the communications, display contains the same image preserved with same timing The seizure image of content.Such as, in meeting etc., in the situation that the subject under discussion of regulation is discussed again etc., can confirm that The data of the answer etc. carried out before these words (being the most just transmitted, as catching the source map picture that image preserves) same Time, carry out high efficiency putting opinion aside.Additionally, now, each communicator 100 keeps the seizure figure of such data etc. individually Picture, so containing, by only sending to receive, the instruction information that image display indicates, just can refer in each place catch image, energy Enough avoid the need for again being continuously transmitted by the video of shooting data etc. and oppressing message volume.

Additionally, use a part for display picture, such as by character or icon will be used (such as, to make still camera The labelling of association) represent the information being in the record catching image, would indicate that further other image preservation instruction is The information of impossible intention (new image preserves the intention that instruction is interrupted) etc. are by showing during interrupting, thus to bag Seizure image containing same picture material, can suppress to be transfused to image in other places simultaneously and preserve instruction, and user can be made to know Road during interrupting in image to preserve the input of instruction be invalid intention.

Additionally, in a mode of the technology of the present invention, in a communications system, being transfused in the plurality of communicator Described image preserves the communicator of instruction also can generate the instruction information comprising the preservation instruction of described image, to except generating The plurality of communicator beyond the communicator of described instruction information sends described instruction information.

According to this structure, the communicator being transfused to image preservation instruction can be for constituting the communication dress of communication system Putting, the image carrying out comprising the image of same picture material preserves instruction.

Additionally, in a mode of the technology of the present invention, in a communications system, based on described image preserve instruction carry out from When obtaining and preserve the process of described image in described video information, the communicator sending described video information can also be by logical Letter mode altering is the pattern making video stabilization.

According to this structure, each communicator can preserve the image comprising same picture material, furthermore it is possible to preserve higher Image (image that image resolution ratio is high) clearly.
