Graphical user interface apparatus and connection method in two-way communication system
First Claim
1. A graphical user interface apparatus, including a processor, for connecting with a location of a participant being connected with a two-way communication system in which a shot image is transmitted through a network to said location of the participant being connected, an image received from said location of the participant being connected through said network being displayed, comprising:
- a display processor, coupled to the processor, that arranges a plurality of display frames to display a plurality of still pictures, each of the plurality of display frames displaying a still picture representing a nominated participant being connected on a screen of the display processor;
a plurality of one touch dial keys arranged corresponding to said plurality of display frames such that each one touch dial key has a one-to-one relation with a display frame; and
a connection processor that performs a multi-point connection with a plurality of nominated participants through said two-way communication system by sequentially pressing each of the plurality of one touch dial keys arranged corresponding to each of the plurality of display frames each of which displays the still picture of the nominated participant to be connected, the still picture being captured when the particular nominated participant is connected in the past,wherein the connection processor performs a multi-point connection with more than two nominated participants through said two-way communication system by sequentially pressing each of the plurality of one touch dial keys arranged corresponding to each of the plurality of display frames each of which displays the still picture of the more than two nominated participants to be connected, without pressing other operators.
