Because it is output and displayed on the monitor or the like of another member (other party) of the first WEB conference via the first video output unit 180, the other party connected in the first WEB conference and the second It is possible to establish video communication with the other party connected in the WEB conference.

As described above, according to the network integrated system of the present embodiment, the partner connected to the first communication network and the partner connected to the second communication network can be easily and surely connected without the need to construct a new private branch exchange. It is possible to provide a network integrated system capable of establishing video and voice communication with the user.

In the above embodiment, the user who performs network integration has described the case where the user leaves the network due to the integration (transfer), but the present invention is not limited to this.

For example, a mixer or the like capable of voice synthesis may be connected between the first voice input unit 130 and the first switching unit 100 (or between the second voice input unit 230 and the second switching unit 200). The voice of the first communication module 110 (or the second communication module 210) is combined with the voice output of the first branch module 120 (or the second branch module 220), and the first voice output unit 140 (or the second voice output unit) is combined. By branching the voice of 240) and outputting it to the first communication module 110 (or the second communication module 210), the user may also be configured to enable voice communication in the integrated network.

Similarly, a screen capable of video composition (composite division display) between the first video input unit 170 and the first communication interface X10 (or between the second video input unit 270 and the second communication interface X20). By connecting a compositing device and synthesizing the image (user's self-image) of the first video communication module 160 (or the second video communication module 260), the user can also configure the video communication to the integrated network. good. Supplementally, in this case, since the image of the integrated WEB conference is displayed on the monitor of the first network device X1 or the second network device X2, the first video output unit 180 (or the second) is intentionally displayed. It is not necessary to branch and display the output video from the video output unit 280).

Further, in the present embodiment, the case where the first switching unit 100 and the first video switching unit 150 (the second switching unit 200 and the second video switching unit 250) are independently configured has been described, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the first switching unit 100 may be provided with all or part of the functions of the first video switching unit 150 (the second switching unit 200 may be provided with the second video switching unit 250). On the contrary, the first video switching unit 150 may be provided with all or a part of the functions of the first switching unit 100 (the second video switching unit 250 may be the second switching unit 200). For example, when the first communication module 160 (or the second communication module 260) is a WEB camera with a microphone (or a speaker in some cases), the first video switching unit 150 (or the second video switching unit 250) has a second position. The functions of the 1 switching unit 100 (or the 2nd switching unit 200) may be integrated and configured.
