Sys1: em) is based on Intel ’s Proshare application. This application allows PC users to share file information on the display with each other ′ for a video conference at the same time (v i d e 〇 c ο n f e r e n c e). Microsoft's WindowR and WindowRNT operating systems can support the NetMeeting version 2.0 video conferencing application software provided by Microsoft, which allows a personal computer user to connect to a personal computer running NetMeeting version 2.0 video conferencing application software. Intel ’s Proshare app works with

NetMeet ing application software integration, using appropriate communication standards, such as H. 3 2 0 and Η 3 2 3 communication standards, can make the central computer through the local area network (local area network) or integrated servo digital network (Integrated Service Digital Network (ISDN) connects with other personal computers for video conferencing. However, 'When a user does not consider using Intel's Director: Intel TeamStationTM System based on cost considerations', he intends to assemble a video conference system by himself. , Network communication transceivers, sound effects systems and other equipment, and integrated with a personal computer operating system that can execute video conference applications. Therefore, when a user wants to integrate a video conference system by himself, it is inevitable that it will take time and labor ’not to pay for it or to display it efficiently. Therefore, a communication module with a camera function that can be directly connected to a personal computer that can execute one of the videoconferencing application software came into being.
