Abstract
Multimedia communication apparatus includes a communication unit that transmits and receives plural types of media information in multiplexed form. When the communication unit is to transmit a first type of media information, a large-capacity transfer speed is allocated to transmission of the first type of media information by first transmission speed selection, but when the communication unit is to receive the first type of media information, a small-capacity transfer speed is allocated to the transmission of the first type of media information, so as to receive the first type of media information and transmit necessary control data. The data transmission speed is flexibly changed dependent on the multiplexed condition of other than data type media information to enable smoother multimedia communication.
