For example, display image input unitsR,L detect additional information indicating left and right directionality from images for display. Then, in a stereoscopic display device having a display device for the right eye and a display device for the left eye, a switchercapable of switching the connections between input and output input-output is controlled so that the correct image for display is provided to the correct display device. With such a configuration, even when the cables are connected incorrectly, it is still possible to input stereoscopic images to the stereoscopic display device so that such images are always displayed in the correct left-right relation.

Stereoscopic display device and control method therefor

A communication system, and an apparatus therefor, are used in combination with an integrated service digital network. The proposed system, and the apparatus, can achieve a change of service from an equipment to another, for example from a telephone unit to a facsimile unit, both connected to the same telephone line, without disconnecting a call made through the telephone line. For this purpose, the proposed system or apparatus has a discriminating unit for identifying a request for communication released from another unit connected to the same telephone, and a communication control unit for automatically communicating with a destination unit with which said other unit has been communicating through said telephone line.
