Abstract
A transmission system includes a transmission terminal locally reproducing video and voice data and transmitting and receiving the video and voice data via a network; a relay apparatus transmitting the video data and voice data to another transmission terminal or the transmission terminal; and a transmission management apparatus managing a session for a single transmission terminal. Further, the transmission terminal sends a request for establishing a session for a single site to the relay apparatus via the transmission management apparatus, and the relay apparatus establishes the session for the single site related to the transmission terminal so that a connection check process is performed on the transmission terminal within the single site only.
Claims7
A transmission system comprising:
- a transmission terminal configured to locally reproduce video data and voice data and transmit and receive the video data and voice data via a network;
- a relay apparatus configured to transmit the video data and the voice data transmitted from the transmission terminal to another transmission terminal or the transmission terminal that has transmitted the video data and voice data;
- and
- a transmission management apparatus configured to manage a session for a plurality of transmission terminals or a single transmission terminal,
- wherein the transmission terminal is configured to send a request for establishing a session for a single site to the relay apparatus via the transmission management apparatus, and the relay apparatus is configured to establish the session for the single site related to the transmission terminal in response to the request from the transmission terminal as a request source so that a connection check process is performed on the transmission terminal within the single site only,
- wherein the transmission terminal is configured to mute voice input when the connection check process is started and un-mute the voice input when the connection check process is terminated.
A relay apparatus comprising:
- a distribution interface configured to transmit video data and voice data, which are transmitted from a transmission terminal, to another transmission terminal or the transmission terminal that transmits the video data and the voice data as a transmission source, the transmission terminal being capable of locally reproducing the video data and the voice data and transmitting and receiving the video data and voice data via a network;
- and
- a session establishing processor configured to establish a session for a single site for the transmission terminal as the transmission source upon receiving a request for establishing the session for the single site from the transmission terminal via a transmission management apparatus being capable of managing a session for a plurality of the transmission terminals or the transmission source transmission terminal, so that a connection check process can be performed on the transmission terminal within the single site only,
- wherein the transmission terminal is configured to mute voice input when the connection check process is started and un-mute the voice input when the connection check process is terminated.
A transmission terminal comprising:
- a transmission and receiving processor configured to locally reproduce video data and voice data and transmit and receive the video data and the voice data via a network;
- and
- a session establishment request processor configured to send a request for establishing a session to a relay apparatus, which transmits the video data and the voice data transmitted from the transmission terminal to another transmission terminal or the transmission terminal that has transmitted the video data and voice data as transmission source, via a transmission management apparatus capable of managing a session for a plurality of the transmission terminals or the transmission source transmission terminal, so as to establish a session for a single site by sending the request for establishing a session for the single site to perform a connection check process within the single site only,
- wherein the transmission terminal is configured to mute voice input when the connection check process is started and un-mute the voice input when the connection check process is terminated.
