Abstract:
A television telephone apparatus comprises:a computer device operable under a first application as a data compressor for performing voice and image compression for transmitting image and voice data and operable under at least one of another application not associated with said voice and image compression; an inputting unit generating a process amount reduction instruction in response to actuation by a user for reducing a compression process amount of the data compressor; and a load amount controller detecting a load amount of the television telephone apparatus including the load amount required by said at least one other application and controlling only the compression process amount of the date compressor based on the load amount in response to the process amount reduction instruction such that the compression process amount is reduced without reducing processing of said at least one other application; wherein the process amount reduction instruction is generated when the load amount for the compression process and a process of an application software exceeds a predetermined threshold level.
