[0070] Next, a telephone equipped with a videophone function according to a second embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail.

[0071] Because the front view, rear view, and functional block diagram of the telephone equipped with the videophone function are the same as those described in the first embodiment of the present invention figure 1 The schematic diagrams to FIG. 3 are the same, so their descriptions are omitted.

[0072] In the second embodiment of the present invention, the telephone equipped with the videophone function is configured as follows: that is, in any case of the telephone call operation and the call reception operation, the phone is switched off by the voice off-hook key 6 and the videophone function. The off-hook key 5 all executes two different operation methods to immediately identify four groups of videophone communication states as shown in Table 1.

Abstract

A telephone apparatus having video telephone function capable of transmitting not only an image picked up by a camera but also an image stored in a storage block. The operation required for this is simple like the conventional telephone apparatus. In response to calling, a video telephone off-hook key (5) or an audio off-hook key (6) is operated (step 701 or 702), so that a video telephone arriaval processing is performed (step 703) and a call connection processing is performed (step 704). When the video telephone off-hook key (5) is operated, a camera unit (8) enters an operation state (step 705), and a video signal from the camera unit (8) is encoded (step 706) and input to a central processing unit (21). When the audio off-hook key (6) is operated, a video signal stored in the storage block is read out, encoded (step 708), and input to the central processing unit (21).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a portable telephone equipped with a videophone function, a portable telephone, and other telephones which are equipped with a camera and which can transmit images captured by the camera to a communication partner together with voice. Background technique [0002] Generally, videophones are well known in the art. When the videophone is operated, a telephone call is first sent to the telephone communication partner, and after the telephone connection is established, various videophone operations must be performed between the parties and the telephone communication partner. Therefore, the operation of these videophones and their preparations are troublesome. [0003] In addition, recently, portable phones equipped with electronic cameras have been developed, through which images captured by these electronic cameras can be directly transmitted to a videophone communication partner. [0004] However, these TV phones and p...
