Abstract
A teleconference terminal apparatus including: an input unit which receives a speech signal; an analyzing unit which calculates a target size on a predetermined segment basis of a speech signal; a coding unit which codes the speech signal to generate a data stream, so that the coded data size on a predetermined segment basis becomes the target size corresponding to each predetermined segment; a stream transmitting unit which transmits to a network the data stream; a receiving unit which receives the data stream transmitted from another terminal apparatus; a filtering unit which determines whether segment data is to be decoded based on data size for each predetermined segment in the received data stream, the segment data being included in the data stream; a decoding unit which decodes segment data determined to be decoded to generate a speech signal; and an output unit which outputs the generated speech signal.
