Portable videophone unit

Abstract

The object is to realize an automatic response to an incoming call and two-way communication using at least images. In a memory, a personal identification number for identifying opposite party who is permitted to have communication in an automatic response mode and mode information, which indicates whether or not the automatic response mode is activated, are stored. Upon detection of an incoming call, the central processing unit first judges whether or not the automatic response mode is activated (S2). If the result of the judgement is ''yes'', a personal identification number in the calling data received is compared with the personal identification number stored in the memory (S4). As a result, if the personal identification numbers are the same, the unit automatically responds to the incoming call, and two-way communication using images and sound can be carried out (S5). On the other hand, if the automatic response mode is not activated, or if the personal identification number has not been input or is not the same as the personal identification number stored, a normal response is performed (S3).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a video mobile phone equipped with a camera and a monitor, which uses a public wireless network to transmit and receive images and sounds. Background technique [0002] Originally, it is well known that a video mobile phone uses a camera and a monitor to input and output images, and a microphone and an earpiece to input and output sound. On the other hand, it decodes the image and sound signal obtained from the other party, displays the image on the monitor, and sends the sound through the earpiece, so as to realize the dialogue while looking at the image of the other party. [0003] In addition, we know that the original telephone has the following automatic answering functions. [0004] ① The automatic off-hook function of the mobile phone. That is, after being paged, it can automatically receive the information sent by the other party. [0005] ②When eating in a quiet restaurant, in a music venue, or attending an ...

[0008] However, none of these functions can successfully realize the two-way conversation according to the image and sound after the automatic answering.

[0009] Moreover, the original automatic answering function is based on the premise of answering all the paging calls of unspecific dialers, and cannot meet the requirement of automatically answering only specific dialers.
