Method for the handling of disturbances during the transfer of a chronological sequence of digital images from one Transmitter to at least one Receiver, wherein the images to be transferred at least intermittently show the face of a speaker, wherein disturbances during the transfer of a chronological sequence of digital images are losses of data or transfer errors, which can also be caused by temporary reduction of the available bandwidth, characterized by the fact, a) that multiple images of the chronological sequence which cannot be decoded in a satisfactory manner, or at all, due to the disturbance on the side of the Receiver or over the transmission channel to a Receiver, are replaced by a sequence of a plurality of synthetic images, which are selected using sound data from a library of synthetic images of the at least one Speaker, b) wherein a plurality of synthetic images is to be understood to mean a library of synthetic images, which are stored in a device for the storage of digital image data, c) wherein there is an assignment that exists amongst images of such a library and possible sounds, that can be extracted from a sound data extraction of the speech data of a speaker, by means of which at least one synthetic image that corresponds to a sound can be determined in the library, and d) wherein the sound data are extracted through a sound recognition from digital speech data of the speaker and the digital speech data are transmitted together with the digital image data, e) that then, when a disturbance of the transmission was now to occur, in particular by means of an intermittent reduction of the available data rate or bandwidth, the or some of the images of the image sequence are replaced by synthetic images, for which at the output of the Receiver, a mixer is provided for this purpose in the Receiver, which emits a mixed image sequence (P, I) in place of the original image sequence, in which individual or a plurality of the original images are replaced by synthetic images, wherein the speech data are preferably emitted unchanged, and f) that, in a first phase of the transmission of the video data, the images of such a library are created by a device for the creation of synthetic images and are stored in the library, so as to in the case of a disturbance in the transmission of a chronological sequence of digital images, are selected in a second phase of the transmission of video data by a device for the selection of digital images subordinately to the extracted sound data and are transmitted instead of the original images. a) that multiple images of the chronological sequence which cannot be decoded in a satisfactory manner, or at all, due to the disturbance on the side of the Receiver or over the transmission channel to a Receiver, are replaced by a sequence of a plurality of synthetic images, which are selected using sound data from a library of synthetic images of the at least one Speaker, b) wherein a plurality of synthetic images is to be understood to mean a library of synthetic images, which are stored in a device for the storage of digital image data, c) wherein there is an assignment that exists amongst images of such a library and possible sounds, that can be extracted from a sound data extraction of the speech data of a speaker, by means of which at least one synthetic image that corresponds to a sound can be determined in the library, and d) wherein the sound data are extracted through a sound recognition from digital speech data of the speaker and the digital speech data are transmitted together with the digital image data, e) that then, when a disturbance of the transmission was now to occur, in particular by means of an intermittent reduction of the available data rate or bandwidth, the or some of the images of the image sequence are replaced by synthetic images, for which at the output of the Receiver, a mixer is provided for this purpose in the Receiver, which emits a mixed image sequence (P, I) in place of the original image sequence, in which individual or a plurality of the original images are replaced by synthetic images, wherein the speech data are preferably emitted unchanged, and f) that, in a first phase of the transmission of the video data, the images of such a library are created by a device for the creation of synthetic images and are stored in the library, so as to in the case of a disturbance in the transmission of a chronological sequence of digital images, are selected in a second phase of the transmission of video data by a device for the selection of digital images subordinately to the extracted sound data and are transmitted instead of the original images.
