Data processor, data processing method and electronic equipment
View Patent ↗A cellular telephone including a function of a videophone is provided. During connection through a communication path, character data is combined with image data to obtain composite data. Thus, it is no longer necessary to transmit the character data through a different channel from the image data. Moreover, during connection of the communication path, the character data in the composite data relevant to the contents of the talk, for example, can be displayed on a display. Thus, the contents of the talk (information) can be quickly and accurately transmitted.
