Abstract
The present invention provides a teleconference terminal apparatus for carrying out a teleconference by transmitting/receiving image and voice signals via a communications network. The teleconference terminal apparatus comprises: an image-capturing device which generates an image signal by capturing an image; an image processing section which converts the image signal to a signal mode corresponding to the communications network and outputs the converted signal; a microphone which performs detection of a voice along with the image capturing, and thereby generates a voice signal corresponding to the level of the voice; a voice processing section which converts the voice signal to a signal mode corresponding to the communications network and outputs the converted signal; and a computing section which increases or reduces the amount of data of the image signal outputted from the image processing section, on the basis of the level of the voice signal.
