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.
