Abstract

Provided are a method and an apparatus for video telephony in a mobile communication terminal. According to the method, when a calling mobile communication terminal attempts video telephony, call connection between the calling mobile communication terminal and a called mobile communication terminal is made. The calling mobile communication terminal checks whether video telephony profile data of the called mobile communication terminal has been registered. When the video telephony profile data of the called mobile communication terminal has been registered, the calling mobile communication terminal selects the video telephony profile data and transmits the profile data to the called mobile communication terminal to form a video telephony channel.

Embodiment Construction

[0029] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, for clarity and conciseness, structures and functions known in the art are not described in detail.

[0030] Fig. 2 is a diagram showing a mobile communication network used for a video phone according to the present invention.

[0031] Referring to Figure 2, the circuit-switched mobile communication network includes Node Bs (202 and 252) used as base stations, Radio Access Networks (RAN) (204 and 254) (they are the base station subsystems of Node B), and a mobile service switching center (MSC) / visited location register (VLR) (206 and 256) (corresponding to the core network of the circuit switched domain), home location register (HLR) (208 and 258), and gateway MSC (210 and 260). The MSC manages call control and movement of user terminals. The VLR and HLR provide functions for registering and managing user terminal data.
