Abstract

A communication device, such as a mobile phone, which implements a voice communication mode, a digital mirror mode, and an auto responding mode, wherein the image retrieved from the camera is displayed in an inverted manner when the digital mirror mode is implemented, and a predetermined message is sent to a caller device upon receiving a phone call from the caller device when the auto responding mode is implemented.

Claims (31)

1. A communication device comprising a microphone, a speaker, a display, an input device, a camera, an antenna, and a multiple mode implementor, wherein said multiple mode implementor implements a voice communication mode, a digital mirror mode, and an auto responding mode;

wherein a voice communication is performed by utilizing said microphone and said speaker when said voice communication mode is implemented;

visual data is input via said camera, said visual data is converted to an inverted visual data which is inverted data of said visual data, and said inverted visual data is output from said display when said digital mirror mode is implemented; and

a predetermined message is sent to a caller device upon receiving a phone call from said caller device when said auto responding mode is implemented.

2. A communication device comprising a microphone, a speaker, a display, an input device, a 1st camera, a 2nd camera, an antenna, and a multiple mode implementor, wherein said multiple mode implementor implements a voice communication mode, a digital mirror mode, a non-digital mirror mode, and an auto responding mode;

wherein a voice communication is performed by utilizing said microphone and said speaker when said voice communication mode is implemented;

a 1st visual data is input via said 1st camera, said 1st visual data is inverted, and said 1st visual data which is inverted is output from said display when said digital mirror mode is implemented;

a 2nd visual data is input via said 2nd camera, said 2nd visual data is output from said display without being inverted when said non-digital mirror mode is implemented; and

a predetermined message is sent to a caller device upon receiving a phone call from said caller device when said auto responding mode is implemented.

3. A method for a communication device comprising a microphone, a speaker, a display, an input device, a 1st camera, a 2nd camera, and an antenna, said method comprising:

a voice communicating step, wherein a voice communication is performed by utilizing said microphone and said speaker;

a digital mirror implementing step, wherein a 1st visual data is input via said 1st camera, said 1st visual data is inverted, and said 1st visual data which is inverted is output from said display;

a non-digital mirror implementing step, wherein a 2nd visual data is input via said 2nd camera, said 2nd visual data is output from said display without being inverted; and

an auto responding step, wherein a predetermined message is sent to a caller device upon receiving a phone call from said caller device.

4. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein said camera is capable to face a 1st direction and a 2nd direction, and said digital mirror mode is implemented when said camera faces said 1st direction.

5. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein said multiple mode implementor further implements a non-digital mirror mode, wherein the visual data input via said camera is output from said display without being inverted.

6. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein said camera is capable to face a 1st direction and a 2nd direction, and said digital mirror mode is implemented when said camera faces said 1st direction, said multiple mode implementor further implements a non-digital mirror mode, wherein the visual data input via said camera is output from said display without being inverted, and said non-digital mirror mode is implemented when said camera faces said 2nd direction.

7. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein said multiple mode implementor further implements a non-digital mirror mode, wherein the visual data input via said camera is output from said display without being inverted, said visual data is retrieved in a 1st manner from a data storage area when said digital mirror mode is implemented, and said visual data is retrieved in a 2nd manner from said data storage area when said non-digital mirror mode is implemented.

8. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein said camera is the camera utilized to input visual data when implementing a video phone mode.

9. The communication device of claim 2 , wherein said 1st camera faces the same or similar direction with said display.

10. The communication device of claim 2 , wherein said 1st camera faces a 1st direction and said 2nd camera faces a 2nd direction which is different from said 1st direction.

11. The communication device of claim 2 , wherein said 1st camera faces a 1st direction and said 2nd camera faces a 2nd direction which is different from said 1st direction, and said 1st camera faces the same or similar direction with said display.

12. The communication device of claim 2 , wherein said 1st visual data is retrieved in a 1st manner from a data storage area when said digital mirror mode is implemented.

13. The communication device of claim 2 , wherein said 2nd visual data is retrieved in a 2nd manner from a data storage area when said non-digital mirror mode is implemented.

14. The communication device of claim 2 , wherein said 1st visual data is retrieved from a 1st direction from a data storage area when said digital mirror mode is implemented.

15. The communication device of claim 2 , wherein said 2nd visual data is retrieved from a 2nd direction from a data storage area when said non-digital mirror mode is implemented.

16. The method of claim 3 , wherein said 1st camera faces the same or similar direction with said display.

17. The method of claim 3 , wherein said 1st camera faces a 1st direction and said 2nd camera faces a 2nd direction which is different from said 1st direction.

18. The method of claim 3 , wherein said 1st camera faces a 1st direction and said 2nd camera faces a 2nd direction which is different from said 1st direction, and said 1st camera faces the same or similar direction with said display.

19. The method of claim 3 , wherein said 1st visual data is retrieved from a 1st direction from a data storage area when said digital mirror implementing step is implemented.

20. The method of claim 3 , wherein said 2nd visual data is retrieved from a 2nd direction from a data storage area when said non-digital mirror implementing step is implemented.
