Abstract: A first imaging unit and a second imaging unit are installed on a first site. An image captured by the first imaging unit and an image captured by the second imaging unit can be alternately displayed on a screen installed on a second site. When a first image, generated based on the image captured by the first imaging unit, is to be displayed on the screen, a display control system displays the first image on the screen irrespective of a position of a predetermined subject included in the first image. When a target image to be displayed on the screen is a second image generated based on the image captured by the second imaging unit, the display control system displays the second image in such a way as to locate an image of a predetermined subject included in the second image at a predetermined position of the screen.

Abstract: A communication system superimposes a mirror-image video obtained at another site and a document image on each other and projects the video and the document image on a screen. The direction and amount of movement of the projected document image are obtained upon detection of an instruction to move the display position of the document image. Then, both the projected video and document image are moved in the obtained direction of movement by an amount corresponding to the obtained amount of movement. Also, the obtained direction and amount of movement are transmitted to the other site.
