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).

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...
