Abstract

A mobile videophone terminal capable of transmitting display information obtained through data communication and the like to a receiving end while talking on the videophone to display it at both ends in real time. The mobile videophone terminal simultaneously performs voice communication and video communication using a still image or, a moving image. Further, the mobile videophone terminal has a multiaccess function for performing videophone communication and data communication at the same time. The mobile videophone terminal at a transmitting end transmits display information obtained through data communication by the use of the multiaccess function or display information in which the display information thus obtained is combined with another display information as a transmitting image to a receiving end. By this means, it becomes possible to share the display information obtained by the use of the multiaccess function with each other in real time.
