知らしめる秘話モード設定通知手段を有している。The video conference device of the present invention reproduces images of people and other objects between a plurality of distant points on each other's television receiver, and simultaneously transmits collected sounds to each other's loudspeaker. A video conferencing device configured to playback, comprising a video playback circuit and a video switching circuit,
The video switching circuit switches from the recorded transmission video signal to a video signal of a certain preset pattern from the video playback circuit, thereby preventing video interruption on the other party's side and allowing the conference on the other party's side to be completed. The apparatus further includes confidential mode setting notification means for notifying participants that the confidential mode has been set using the video signal from the video reproduction circuit.
次に、本発明について図面を参照して説明する。 Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.
