1. A monitored image signal delivering system comprising:
- a monitor;
a communication network; and
a plurality of terminals for delivering images obtained by picking up images of subjects to be monitored using said monitor, said picked up images being transmitted to said terminals through said communication network,wherein said monitor having a plurality of image pickup apparatuses for picking up images of the subjects to be monitored and outputting respective monitored image signals of the subjects, and a controller for transmitting the respective monitored image signals which have been obtained by imaging the subjects to be monitored corresponding to ones of said terminals, to ones of said terminals, respectively,wherein said plurality of terminals each having a unit for receiving as its input a monitored image signal which has been obtained by imaging an associated one of the subjects to be monitored corresponding to an associated one of said terminals from said monitor, and a display unit for displaying thereon the monitored image signal thus received, andwherein said monitor further has a unit for obtaining relative positional relationship between the subjects to be monitored on the monitored image signals and associated ones of said image pickup apparatuses which imaged the subjects to be monitored based on the monitored image signals, a unit for recording therein positional information of the obtained positional relationship, and a unit for displaying thereon either the positional information of the subjects to be monitored or position movement information thereof based on the obtained positional relationship.

Abstract
A monitor transmits the monitored image signals which have been obtained by imaging subjects to be monitored corresponding to terminals of image signals from a plurality of image pickup apparatuses to the corresponding terminals, respectively. At the terminals, the monitored image signals which have been obtained by imaging subjects to be monitored corresponding to the terminals are respectively received to display the monitored image signals thus received, respectively.

13. A monitored image delivering method of delivering images in a monitored image signal delivering system including a monitor, a communication network, and a plurality of terminals for delivering images obtained by picking up images of subjects to be monitored using said monitor, said picked up images being transmitted to said terminals through said communication network, said method comprising the steps of:
-
transmitting monitored image signals which have been obtained by imaging the subjects to be monitored corresponding to said terminals from a plurality of image pickup apparatuses to said corresponding terminals, respectively; and receiving the monitored image signals which have been obtained by imaging the subjects to be monitored corresponding to said terminals at said terminals to display the monitored image signals thus received, wherein said monitor further has a unit for obtaining relative positional relationship between the subjects to be monitored on the monitored image signals and associated ones of said image pickup apparatuses which imaged the subjects to be monitored based on the monitored image signals, a unit for recording therein positional information of the obtained positional relationship, and a unit for displaying thereon either the positional information of the subjects to be monitored or position movement information thereof based on the obtained positional relationship, wherein said plurality of terminals each having a unit for receiving as its input a monitored image signal which has been obtained by imaging an associated one of the subjects to be monitored corresponding to the associated one of said terminals from said monitor, and a display unit for displaying thereon the monitored image signal thus received, and wherein said monitor further has a unit for obtaining the relative positional relationship between the subjects to be monitored on the monitored image signals and the associated ones of said image pickup apparatuses which imaged the subjects to be monitored based on the monitored image signals, a unit for recording therein the information of the obtained relationship, and a unit for displaying thereon either the positional information of the subjects to be monitored or the position movement information thereof based on the obtained positional relationship.
