An image communication system includes a first communication terminal including first circuitry and a second communication terminal including second circuitry. The first circuitry of the first communication terminal transmits, to the second communication terminal, first image data representing a first image and second image data representing a second image. The first circuitry of the first communication terminal transmits, to the second communication terminal, position information indicating a predetermined position on the first image. The second circuitry of the second communication terminal combines, based on the position information, the second image with the first image at the predetermined position on the first image to generate a combined image. The second circuitry of the second communication terminal displays, on a display, the combined image.

Communication terminal, image communication system, and display control method

A communication terminal includes circuitry configured to: perform first transmission of connection request information indicating a connection request to a first explainer terminal that preferentially responds to the connection request from the communication terminal provided in an unmanned store; and receive response information indicating a response of connection availability from the first explainer terminal. The circuitry is further configured to perform second transmission of the connection request information to a second explainer terminal that does not preferentially respond to the connection request from the communication terminal provided in the unmanned store, when the circuitry receives the response information indicating that connection is unavailable from the first explainer terminal, or when the circuitry receives from the first explainer terminal no response information indicating whether the connection is available within a certain time period after the first transmission of the connection request information.

Communication terminal, communication system, communication method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium

A communication system includes a first terminal device, a second terminal device, and an advice providing device. The first terminal device is operated by an operator. The second terminal device is operated by a guest. The second terminal device communicates with the first terminal device through a network. The advice providing device includes circuitry that determines advice for the operator based on voice data including first voice data that is related to the operator and transmitted from the first terminal device and second voice data that is related to the guest and transmitted from the second terminal device. The circuitry of the advice providing device further transmits the advice to the first terminal device. The first terminal device receives the advice and displays, on a display, the advice.

Communication system and method for providing advice to improve a speaking style

A communication terminal includes circuitry. The circuitry receives data of a whole image, data of a material image, and superimposition position information indicating a position where the material image is to be superimposed on the whole image, the data of the whole image, the data of the material image, and the superimposition position information being transmitted from another communication terminal. The circuitry superimposes the material image on the whole image at the position indicated by the superimposition position information. The circuitry causes a display to display a predetermined-area image, which is an image of a predetermined area of the whole image. When at least a part of the material image being superimposed is not displayed in the predetermined-area image, the circuitry changes the position where the material image is superimposed such that the material image is displayed at a predetermined position in the predetermined-area image.

A communication terminal for displaying a predetermined-area image, which is an image of a part of a whole image, includes circuitry. The circuitry receives first predetermined information specifying a first predetermined area, the first predetermined information being transmitted from another communication terminal displaying a first predetermined-area image, which is an image of the first predetermined-area. The circuitry calculates a position of the first predetermined area with respect to a second predetermined area, based on the first predetermined information received and second predetermined information specifying the second predetermined area, the second predetermined area being an area of a second predetermined-area image being displayed by the communication terminal. The circuitry controls a display to display the second predetermined-area image including at least one of relative position information indicating the position calculated and direction information indicating a direction of the first predetermined area with respect to the second predetermined area.

An image data communication system includes: a first communication terminal including first circuitry; and a second communication terminal including second circuitry. The first circuitry of the first communication terminal is configured to transmit a plurality of pieces of image data and layer display order information indicating a layer display order in which a plurality of images represented by the plurality of pieces of image data are to be displayed. The second circuitry of the second communication terminal is configured to display the plurality of images represented by the plurality of pieces of image data transmitted from the first communication terminal in the layer display order based on the layer display order information transmitted from the first communication terminal.

Communication terminal, image data communication system, and communication method

A management system, a communication system, and a management method. The management system and the management method include receiving a request to associate identification information of a first user with identification information of a first client application that the first user is authorized to use, and identification information of a second user who has been authenticated and has been authorized to use a second client application, determining whether the identification information of the second user matches certain information that corresponds to the first client application, and associating the identification information of the first user with the identification information of the first client application when the determining determines that the identification information of the second user matches the certain information that corresponds to the first client application. The communication system includes the management system, and a communication terminal that sends the access token to the management system.

Management system, communication system, and management method

A communication terminal for displaying a predetermined-area image includes circuitry. The circuitry receives first predetermined-area information indicating a first predetermined area, the first predetermined-area information being transmitted from another communication terminal displaying a first predetermined-area image. The circuitry calculates a direction of the first predetermined area with respect to a second predetermined area in a whole image, based on the first predetermined-area information and second predetermined-area information. The second predetermined area is an area of a second predetermined-area image being displayed by the communication terminal. The circuitry controls a display to display the second predetermined-area image including display direction information indicating the calculated direction. The circuitry accepts designation of the display direction information. The circuitry controls the display to display the first predetermined-area image based on the first predetermined-area information, which is a source of calculation of the display direction information for which the designation is accepted.

A communication terminal includes circuitry to cause a display to display a predetermined area image. The predetermined area image is an image of a part of a whole image that is shared with another communication terminal communicably connected to the communication terminal. The circuitry further transmits predetermined area information to be received by the other communication terminal. The predetermined area information indicates a predetermined area associated with the predetermined area image displayed with the display.
