In order to freely select, locate and display an image from a remote place on a monitor to facilitate observer's use, disclosed are apparatus and methods arranged to perform operation of drag and drop of a symbol to a specific position on a map showing the symbol indicating information of the position where an image generator is set, thereby establishing logical network connection with a video transmission terminal to which the image generator is connected, to display a video in an arbitrary display area, to perform the drag and drop operation of the video displayed in the video display area to another video display area, thereby changing a video display position, and to perform the drag and drop operation thereof to a display stop symbol, thereby disconnecting the logical network connection to stop the video display of the video camera.
A communication apparatus characterized in that a continuous logical network connection is maintained between a receiving terminal and a network and a connection to at least one image transmission terminal is established in response to selection of one of said at least one image transmission terminals via a display instruction at said receiving terminal, and while received image data from said selected image transmission terminal is displayed on a monitor of said receiving terminal, continuous network connection with said image transmission terminal for communicating image data continuously is maintained based on said display instruction for display on said monitor of the received image data from said imne transmission terminal.
