Abstract
Image transmission method and apparatus for transmitting/receiving images among a plurality of terminals connected to a network, and an image transmission system including the apparatus. A video camera (30) is connected to each of a plurality of video communication terminals connected to a network (12), and an image picked up by the camera (30) of each terminal is exchanged with another communication terminal via the network (12). In this case, in a certain terminal, a plurality of images received from other terminals are displayed on a display (26), and the names of terminals which are receiving the image picked up by the video camera (30) of the terminal, and the name of a terminal (or the name of an operator) which is operating the video camera (30) of the terminal are also displayed on the display (26). Each terminal displays, on the display (26), an icon which allows an operator to recognize at a glance whether or not an image picked up by the camera of its own terminal is being monitored by another terminal, or generates a warning tone in correspondence with the monitor or operation state of the video camera (30) of its own terminal, thereby calling for an attention of the operator of its own terminal.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
