There is provided a network system and its associated devices and
techniques which allow a terminal device to utilize functions of another
terminal device without the need to provide any dedicated interface or
system switch. A server 12 receives a service request from a first
terminal device 13 or a second terminal device 16 while the first and
second terminal devices 13 and 16 are in voice communication with each
other. Upon receipt of the service request, the server 12 searches
position information on the second terminal device 16 from an identifier
contained in the service request to specify a processor 18 located in the
neighborhood of the second terminal device 16 on the basis of the
position information. Then the server 12 establishes a new connection
(communication lines 2B and 2C) for image communication. Thus the image
data is transferred from the first terminal device 13 to a reception
device 17 through the communication lines 2B and 2C, and displayed on a
large screen of the processor 18.
