Communications system
First Claim
1. A communications system for communication of a real time signal having a real time requirement, comprising:
- real time signal generating means for generating said real time signal of data rate R with one frame as one unit;
real time signal transmit buffer means for temporarily storing said real time signal;
real time signal transmitting means for transmitting said real time signal;
transmission means, having a transmission rate C (C>
R), over which said real time signal is transmitted;
real time signal receiving means for receiving said real time signal transmitted from said real time signal transmitting means over said transmission means;
real time signal receive buffer means for temporarily storing said real time signal received by said real time signal receiving means; and
real time signal outputting means for outputting said real time signal stored in said real time signal receive buffer means, wherein after sorting said real time signal for a prescribed number, N, of frames in said real time signal receive buffer means, said real time signal outputting means is activated, thereby performing control so that all generated portions of said real time signal can be output at the receiving without interruption, and said real time signal has both image and voice signals which are transmitted simultaneously.
