摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable each client to individually switch a composite image and a specific individual image under a prescribed bit rate, and also, to realize high-definition display of an individual image in a communication conference system.;SOLUTION: When a client requests the display of the composite image, a server device composites a scalable bit stream with a bit stream composition processor 13, and after that, transmits encoding data after cutting them so as to fit into the designated bit rate by a bit rate transcoder 16. When the display of the individual image of a specific client is requested, the scalable bit stream of the individual image of the client is selected by an individual image selector 14, and the encoding data are transmitted after being cut so as to fit into the designated bit rate by the bit rate transcoder 16.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
