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. When the communication companion clicks this image signal, the user terminal apparatus of the communication companion is further connected with the sponsor system of the selling goods, and can receive a further explanation of the selling goods and can perform the transactions of the selling goods.

Claims

1-34. -34. (canceled)

35. A terminal comprising:

a camera;

a communicator configured to transmit to a server a user ID, video data captured by the camera, and a setting of whether image data is used with the video data; and

a display configured to display video data with image data.

36. The terminal according to claim 35,

wherein the communicator transmits the video data to the server in real time.

37. The terminal according to claim 35,

wherein the display displays the image data being superposed onto the video data.

38. The terminal according to claim 37,

wherein the display displays the image data with a certain transparency rate.

39. The terminal according to claim 37,

wherein the display displays the image data on a predetermined area of a display area of the video data.

40. The terminal according to claim 37,

wherein the display displays the image data on a display area of the video data based on detected feature points of an object within the video data.

41. The terminal according to claim 35, further comprising

a pointing device, and

wherein the communicator transmits a request for additional information in response to a designation by the pointing device to the image data being displayed on the other terminals.

42. The terminal according to claim 41,

wherein the display displays the additional information so that the additional information is partially overlapped with the video data.

43. The terminal according to claim 41,

wherein the display displays the additional information in a display area divided from a display area of video data.

44. The terminal according to claim 41,

wherein the display makes the video data disappear and displays the additional information.

45. The terminal according to claim 41, further comprising

an authentication device, and

wherein the communicator transmits a purchase request of a product related to the additional information, and

wherein the authentication device authenticates the purchase request.
