PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To send pictures taken by an IP telephone having no videophone function to a display at a calling party in real time and display pictures sent from the calling party on a display at own station. SOLUTION: With both IP telephones 100, 110 being connected for calling, one acquires an URI of an IP television/camera service from a resource record of the calling party and transfers the URI of the IP television/camera service to an IP television/camera adapter 123 at the IP telephone to request image transmission. The resource record of the calling party corresponds to the telephone number of the IP telephone 110 taken by connecting this telephone to a DNS server 104. The IP television/camera adapter 123 connects a call with an IP television/camera adapter 133 from the IP telephone 100, using the URI of the IP television/camera service of the calling party, thus performing the image transmission.

Abstract:
This invention provides a video conversation/monitoring system that has a remote monitoring function and remote peripheral device control function in addition to a video-phonic conversation function, and is suitable for various user-intended guidance services. The system consists of a center station (2) and multiple end stations (3, 4) linked through the ISDN network (1). The center station includes a video conversation/monitoring means (5), video input means (7), video output means (6), audio input means (30), audio output means (28), system controller (9), facsimile (8) and ISDN line terminating unit (14), and each end station includes a video conversation/monitoring means (10), system controller (16), first video input means (12), second video input means (15), audio input means (321), audio output means (322), calling means (29), first notification means (110), second notification means (109), detection means (108), facsimile (13) and ISDN line terminating unit (14). Based on the remote monitoring function of the video input means and the remote control function of the system controller for switching the video input means, various guidance services are accomplished in addition to the video-phonic conversation service. The integrated unit enables easy desk-top installation, the application of the ISDN network reduces the communication cost, and the provision of various state detection means in the end stations enables the image-based monitoring and state monitoring in addition to the conversation.
