A communication apparatus includes: a display state detecting unit that detects a display state of an image to be displayed on the basis of a received moving image data; and a control information transmitting unit that transmits, to a transmission source of the moving image data, control information regarding transmission of the image data, in accordance with the display state.

Communication apparatus

A bandwidth used in communication processing to transmit and receive different types of information via a communication line is monitored. A priority definition file previously defining the processing priority of information corresponding to a combination of the different types of information transmitted and received is provided. When the monitor result of monitoring the bandwidth indicates that the amount of information being transmitted/received is a given value or more, the priority definition file is referenced, the appropriate bandwidth for the information being transmitted/received is set in accordance with the processing priority, and the bandwidth of the information being transmitted/received is controlled based on the setup appropriate bandwidth.

Communication information bandwidth control apparatus and method

In a network conference system, a promoter terminalhas: a speaker selecting sectionwhich selects the promoter terminalitself or one of participant terminalsand, as a speaker terminal which is used by a speaker who makes an announcement in a conference; and a usage function controlling sectionwhich, in accordance with a result of the selection by the speaker selecting section, controls the speaker terminal and the terminal other than the speaker terminal so that a predetermined application is available only in the speaker terminal. Further, method for using the network conference system is provided.

Network conference system and method for using the same

In an automatic scanning tuner which stops at tuned stations in scanning up and down a range of frequencies, apparatus is provided for ignoring stations at which a user does not wish the tuner to stop as it moves up or down the dial. Information regarding the stations to be ignored may be stored in advance in a memory, such as a RAM.
