  • Patent number: 10671153
    Abstract: Each user terminal apparatus is connected with a service business enterprise system by a connection business enterprise system in a state that a live image can mutually be transmitted through the service business enterprise system. An user beforehand sets its live image to be appropriately utilized as an advertisement medium, and chooses selling goods to be advertised. A live image transmitted from the user terminal apparatus of the user who performed the aforesaid setting receives a superposed image, for example, by the superposing the T shirt of the user or the like with the image signal of the selling goods as the advertisement object in the service business enterprise system, and then the processed live image signal is transmitted to the user terminal apparatus of a communication companion.

  • Patent number: 7425979
    Abstract: The present invention provides an easy-handling and highly-convenient communication system having sufficient adaptability even when a user does not want to transmit a live picture. In a user database for a service provider system, the user establishes beforehand information on designating image data to be transmitted to a communicated party according to each communication condition such as time, the communicated party or the like, and registers the image data to be used in an image database. When connections are established between a plurality of users via an access provider system, a server apparatus receives the live pictures from each user, determines data to be transmitted to each user by referring to the user database, reads out contents of the image database as required, and transmits to each user selectively the live picture or the read-out image data.
