In a transmitting section, image data, voice data and screen data indicating situations of a sender are produced, and converted to generalized situation data by, for instance, thinning those data. Upon request from a receiver, the generalized situation data are transmitted to the receiving section via a network, and output, for instance, in a sequential manner, to allow the receiver to recognize the situations of the sender.

A communication apparatus comprising: a transmitting section comprising: means for capturing situation data representing a communicative status of a sender prior to communicating to the sender, the situation data includes at least one of image data, voice data and computer screen data; data generating means for degrading the situation data to form degraded situation data and to generate generalized status data representing a communicative status of the sender and including the degraded situation data, wherein the degraded situation data renders details of the at least one of image data, voice data and computer screen data imperceptible; transmitting section communication control means for transmitting the generalized status data; and a receiving section comprising: receiving section communication control means for receiving the generalized status data from said transmitting section prior to communicating to the sender, thus enabling recognition of the generalized status of the sender without revealing details of the at least one of image data, voice data and computer data; means for outputting the generalized status of the sender including the degraded situation data; and a network for interconnecting said transmitting section and said receiving section.
