Abstract
A real-time audio/video communication method for use on the Internet in conjunction with a homepage and a device therefor are provided. According to the method of a real-time audio/video communication between each terminal using the Internet, the communication capability and the current status of a receiving party are registered in a homepage within a terminal or a web server connected by the receiver, and a sending party accesses the receiver's homepage within the web server to initiate communication. This method allows the receiver to receive realtime audio/video communication data at any time without being always connected to the Internet. Furthermore, in the real-time audio/video communication device, an Internet Service Provider provides a homepage so that the ISP may recognize the communication status of each terminal to access the sending and receiving terminals under optimum communication conditions, and decodes the optimum communication conditions.
