ABSTRACT:
A video telephone system which automatically switches during a normally operating communicating function to a minimum voice signal and a sub-power source when a master power source fails, and automatically switches back to the normally operating communicating function when the failure is remedied. The system includes first CODEC equipment which encodes a voice signal input from voice input-output equipment, and outputs various signals. Image pickup equipment receives an image signal and display equipment displays the image signal. The first CODEC equipment, the image pickup equipment and the display equipment function as voice and image signal encoding and decoding equipment. Second CODEC equipment encodes an input voice signal from the voice input-output equipment and outputs various signals. Line control equipment selectively outputs a signal input from the first or second CODECs for controlling switching of the first and second CODECs to the transmission path. Switching control equipment inputs a signal indicating the condition of the master power source, outputs a control signal in accordance with the input signal, and automatically controls voice communication by switching the first and second CODECs if the master power source fails.
