The communication services and an experimental system for the integrated office information system “Lumiere” are shown. The Lumiere provides office users with advanced integrated communication services. Different types of information not only data, text, image, and voice but also time, information to synchronize the reproduction of acoustic and visual information, are integrated into the Lumiere system. Two communication modes, “store-and-forward mode” and “conversational mode”, provide highly effective communication services. Through independently operable multiple windows, in any desired communication mode, users can carry on multiple separate conversations with others simultaneously. The experimental system shows the effectiveness of these communication services.
