The remote system includes a vehicle equipped with a camera and a remote terminal having a display. The vehicle and the remote terminal are connected via a communication network. The vehicle generates synthesized video in which moving object video changing over time is synthesized with camera video captured by the camera, and transmits the synthesized video to the remote terminal. The remote terminal displays the synthesized video on the display, detects fixation of video displayed on the display based on a change in the moving object video included in the synthesized video, and outputs an abnormality signal in response to detection of the fixation.

Remote system

A communication device transmits a video to a reception-side device connected via N communication lines. N is an integer of 2 or more. The communication device includes a controller. The controller spatially separates an image of one frame into N separate images. Then, the controller transmits the N separate images to the reception-side device in parallel via the N communication lines, respectively.
