First Claim
1. A user interface of a video communication terminal unit having a shoot means for shooting a terminal user, a display means for displaying a video image and a video communication processing means for executing video communication between said terminal user and a remote terminal user, said user interface comprising:
- a location detection means for detecting a location of said terminal user shot by said shoot means and generating information on said terminal user'"'"'s location;
a location judgement means for determining whether or not said terminal user is within an appropriate shoot range of said shoot means and generating notification control information based on the determination result; and
a notification means for notifying said terminal user of his/her deviation from said shoot range if said notification control information indicates said terminal user'"'"'s deviation.

Abstract
A local user'"'"'s location detection section 101 detects local user'"'"'s location, generates location information 104 and sends the location information 104 to a local user'"'"'s location discrimination section 102. The local user'"'"'s location discrimination section 102 stores information on a shoot range of a camera section, judges whether the local user is in the shoot range of a camera section 602, generates notification control information 105 and sends the notification control information 105 to a notification section 103. According to the notification control information 105, the notification section 103 generates an video image 291 for notifying the local user itself whether the local user is in the shoot range of the camera section or out of the shoot range of the camera section, and sends the video image to a display section 603. If the local user is in the shoot range of the camera section, the remote user'"'"'s video image 290 is sent to the display section as it is.
