Abstract
Collision occurring on a network is reduced in a multi-point image display system for transmitting and receiving images among multiple points and receiving and displaying the image transmitted from one point at a remote point. An image communication terminal used for the multi-point image display system includes a system for issuing an image transmission request to request the transmission of the image to a plurality of image communication terminals disposed at the multiple points, a system for detecting whether the transmission of predetermined image units in the transmission of the image conducted in response to the image transmission request has been completed or not, and a system for notifying the image transmission request to the image transmission terminals when the completion of the transmission of the predetermined image units is detected and controlling the terminals to which the image transmission request is notified in a predetermined order to allow the ordered transmission of the image packets from the image transmission terminals.
