Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize setting of a multi-point conference from a video conference terminal equipment inexpensively without an external device such as a MODEM. CONSTITUTION:A video conference terminal equipment 2 makes a call to a multi-point video conference controller 1 by an ISDN line 3. In this case, conference sponsor information such as number of conference participated terminals is set to a user user information element in a setup message of the ISDN. The multi-point video conference controller 1 receiving a call from the video conference terminal equipment 2 uses at first an ISDN line control section 1-1 to extract conference sponsor information from the user user information element and informs it to a central control section 1-4. The central control section 1-4 discriminates number of connected lines or the like and uses a line exchange section 1-2 to connect required line numbers and gives a command of call processing to the control section 1-1 when a all to other terminals is required. When the conference form is 1-1 conference or the like, the line exchange section 1-2 is used to connect lines only, but in the case of multi-point conference, a multi-point conference control section 1-3 is used to implement separation of picture signals and audio signals, changeover of pictures and addition processing of audio signals.

In such a conventional video conference system, when a command for holding a conference is given from the terminal side, a line and a modem for receiving the instruction from the terminal to the multipoint video conference control device side. Since there is a need for an external device such as the above, there is a drawback that the cost increases. For example, when using an analog line, an analog line 13 and a modem 12 different from the video / audio shown in FIG. 2 are required. Further, when the D channel packet of ISDN is used, the hardware such as the terminal adapter 17 for that purpose and the contract of the line are required. Also, when using the conference reservation control device 15, a dedicated line with the conference reservation terminal 16 is required.

In some cases, the control data is transferred by being multiplexed with video / audio using the B channel of ISDN, but in this case, hardware for extracting the control data from the multiplexed signal is required. Furthermore, control data can be separated when video / audio is separated and processed once as in a multipoint conference, but is multiplexed in the case of circuit-switched connection such as one-to-one connection or broadcast type connection. However, the control data cannot be separated because the data is exchanged as it is without being separated.
