Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent misunderstanding or mistake by sending edited notice data when edit processing is applied to a sent picture so as to allow a reception side to recognize it that a picture is edited. CONSTITUTION:A read section 10 reads a sent picture and allows an edit section 20 to edit the read picture and the edited picture is sent from a transmission section 30. In this case, it is detected by an edit detection section 130 that the picture is edited, and after the end of transmission, an edited notice data read section 50 reads notice data from an edited notice data storage section 60 and the transmission section 30 sends the data. On the other hand, when a picture is sent to a transmission destination and received by a reception section, whether or not the edited notice data detection section added to the received picture is monitored. Thus, when a sender side sends the edited picture, it is noticed to the transmission destination that the picture is already edited.
