Embodiment Construction

[0029] like Figure 1A ~ 1C As shown, the camera-equipped portable telephone device 10 is mainly composed of three parts: a first housing 11, a second housing 12, and a hinge part 13 for connecting the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 to be freely opened and closed.

[0030] The first housing 11 has a display 15, an antenna 16, a camera portion 17, and a telephone receiver (speaker) 18 provided on its main surface 111 to be hidden inside when the portable telephone device is closed. The display 15 may be a liquid crystal display on which necessary information such as a calling phone number, an email message or a captured image is displayed. The camera section 17 is equipped with a small and thin image capturing device such as a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) or a CMOS image sensor, which will be incorporated into the first housing 11 . The lens portion of the camera portion 17 is exposed on the main surface 111 at its upper position.

[0031] The second housing 12 has...

Abstract

A portable communication device includes: an image capture section that captures an image according to an operation of a shutter key; and a character recognition section that recognizes a character from the captured image. Sets the character sizing indicator on the display. The character size adjustment indicator is sized to provide a sufficiently high character recognition success rate when at least one character included in the captured image fits within the reference frame.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a portable communication device such as a portable telephone device or a personal information terminal, and more particularly, to a portable communication device equipped with an image capturing device. Background technique [0002] Generally, portable telephone devices on the market include various information input devices, for example, operation keys including a ten-key pad, and image capture devices such as digital cameras. Various camera-equipped cellular phones have been proposed (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-232544). [0003] The portable telephone device has memory incorporated therein designed to store telephone numbers, mail addresses and other character data. Usually, these characters are manually entered one by one through an input device such as a ten-key keyboard. Therefore, it is difficult to input character data in a short time without any operation error. [0004] On th...
