when the computer program code is loaded into and executed by a computer the computer becomes an apparatus for practicing the invention the present invention can also be embodied in the form of computer program code for example whether stored in a storage medium loaded into and or executed by a computer or transmitted over some transmission medium such as over electrical wiring or cabling through fiber optics or via electromagnetic radiation wherein when the computer program code is loaded into and executed by a computer the computer becomes an apparatus for practicing the invention when implemented on a general purpose microprocessor the computer program code segments combine with the microprocessor to provide a unique device that operates analogous to specific logic circuits a person having ordinary skill in the art will understand that although a conferencing system having just two nodes is shown and described in fig1 the invention can be used with networks having a great many remotely located nodes such as the internet to enable a still image captured at one of the nodes to be transmitted to all of the other nodes furthermore the invention has been described above in reference to conferencing systems it should be understood that the term conferencing system is used broadly to include a node or station capable of capturing and transmitting video or still images and is not limited.
