Abstract

A communication terminal 100 capable of communicating among a plurality of communication terminals includes a reception unit 14 for receiving image data from the plurality of communication terminals, a display unit 16 for displaying the image data from the plurality of communication terminals received by the reception unit 14 , an input unit 17 for accepting a choice of at least one image data among the image data of the plurality of communication terminals displayed on the display unit 16 and a control unit 19 for controlling to transmit information indicating that the communication terminal corresponding to the image data chosen by the input unit 17 has been designated as the party of another communication separate from the communication being executed among the plurality of communication terminals.

Claims (22)

1. A communication terminal capable of communicating among a plurality of communication terminals, comprising:

a reception unit for receiving image data from the plurality of communication terminals;

a display unit for displaying the image data from the plurality of communication terminals received by the reception unit;

an input unit for accepting a choice of at least one image data among the image data from the plurality of communication terminals displayed on the display unit, and

a control unit for controlling to transmit information indicating that the communication terminal corresponding to the image data chosen by the input unit is designated as a party of another communication separate from a communication being executed among the plurality of communication terminals to the communication terminal, wherein

when the reception unit receives a response indicating that the designation is accepted from the communication terminal designated as the party of the another communication, the control unit controls to transmit audio data of its own terminal to only the designated communication terminal, and

when the reception unit receives the response indicating that the designation is accepted from the communication terminal designated as the party of the another communication, the control unit controls to suspend transmission of image data of its own terminal.

2. A communication terminal capable of communicating among a plurality of communication terminals, comprising:

a reception unit for receiving image data from the plurality of communication terminals;

a display unit for displaying the image data from the plurality of communication terminals received by the reception unit;

an input unit for accepting a choice of at least one image data among the image data from the plurality of communication terminals displayed on the display unit; and

a control unit for controlling to transmit information indicating that the communication terminal corresponding to the image data chosen by the input unit is designated as a party of another communication separate from a communication being executed among the plurality of communication terminals to the communication terminal, wherein

when the reception unit receives a response indicating that the designation is accepted from the communication terminal designated as the party of the another communication, the control unit controls to transmit audio data of its own terminal to only the designated communication terminal, and

the control unit controls to use image data previously stored to the communication being executed among the plurality of communication terminals.

3. The communication terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the information indicating designation is information for calling the communication terminal as a destination.

4. A control method of a communication terminal capable of communicating among a plurality of communication terminals, comprising:

receiving image data from the plurality of communication terminals;

displaying the received image data from the plurality of communication terminals;

accepting a choice of at least one image data among the displayed image data from the plurality of communication terminals; and

controlling to transmit information indicating that the communication terminal corresponding to the chosen image data is designated as a party of another communication separate from a communication being executed among the plurality of communication terminals, wherein

when a response is received indicating that the designation is accepted from the communication terminal designated as the party of the another communication, audio data of its own terminal is transmitted to only the designated communication terminal, and

when the response is received indicating that the designation is accepted from the communication terminal, transmission of image data of its own terminal is suspended.
