Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) With the advances in IP and multimedia technologies, various multimedia services such as videophone and video-streaming are being developed and provided. To provide these services with sufficient quality, we must properly evaluate, design, and manage users’ perceptual quality of service, i.e., Quality of Experience (QoE). In this paper, we present a multimedia quality integration function that can estimate the overall quality of a videophone service considering multimodality and interactivity. That is, it takes into account individual audiovisual qualities and their delays. Subjective quality assessment tests were conducted using a point-to-point interactive videophone application to clarify how overall multimedia quality characteristics depend on the individual audiovisual qualities, absolute audiovisual delay, and media synchronization. From the test results, we formulated a multimedia quality integration function that can accurately evaluate overall multimedia quality. In addition, verification test results showed that this function achieved good performance in terms of correlation coefficient and evaluation error between subjective and estimated qualities. This function was adopted by ITU-T as a part of Recommendation G.1070 in April 2007.
