Abstract

In an image/audio playback technology in a mobile communication terminal, a single image is divided into two halves, i.e., left-half and right-half images, which are displayed on two mobile communication terminals, respectively. In addition, two mobile communication terminals can play left-side and right-side audio data, respectively, which compose stereo audio data, according to the relative locations of the two mobile communication terminals.

Claims (16)

1. An image playback device of a mobile communication terminal, comprising:

a control unit to control a signal for recognizing a relative location of the mobile communication terminal in relation to another terminal via a communication interface, and to generate left-side or right-side location information corresponding to the relative location;

a codec unit to decode image data;

an image dividing unit to divide the decoded image into left-half image data and right-half image data, and to transmit a first one of the two divided image data and to transmit a second one of the two divided image data to the communication interface unit according to the location information;

a display unit to display the first one of the two divided image data; and

the communication interface unit to transmit the second one of the two divided image data to the other terminal.

2. The image playback device of claim 1 , wherein the other terminal is the same type of device as the mobile communication terminal.

3. The image playback device of claim 2 , wherein the other terminal and the mobile communication terminal form a singular display if adjacent to each other.

4. An image playback device of a mobile communication terminal, comprising:

a control unit to control a signal for recognizing a relative location of the mobile communication terminal in relation to another terminal via a communication interface;

a first communication interface unit to receive a first one of two divided image data from a second communication interface unit in the other terminal, the first one of two divided image data corresponding to left-half image data or right-half image data; and

a display unit to display the received image data.

5. The image playback device of claim 1 , wherein the decoded image is a singular image.

6. The image playback device of claim 4 , wherein the one of two divided image data is sourced from a singular image.

7. The image playback device of claim 4 , wherein the other terminal is the same type of device as the mobile communication terminal.

8. The image playback device of claim 7 , wherein the other terminal and the mobile communication terminal form a singular display if adjacent to each other.
