To provide a terminal device and a remote communication system that suppress too much data volume to be transmitted and transmit more surely information important in communication.

When image data taken with a camera includes a face region of an user, image data of a both-eye region corresponding to a both-eye region including both eyes and their surroundings and image data excluding the both eyes corresponding to a region excluding such both-eye region are created using the image data taken (S120). Encoding data of both images are created so that a frame rate of the image data excluding the both eyes is smaller than that of the image data of the both-eye region (S130 and S160). The encoding data such created of the both images and encoding data of a voice from a microphone are transmitted through a transmitting and receiving section (S180 and S190). This can suppress too much data volume to be transmitted and transmit more surely information about the both eyes and their surroundings important in communication.
