transmitting, by the first device, at least one of the audio and video data of the video call received from the second device to the second external device through the established video call operation session.

5. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising:

receiving at least one of audio and video data according to a user's input from the first and second external devices; and

synchronizing the audio and video data received from the first and second external devices; and

transmitting the synchronized data to the second device.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

pre-registering, in the first device or a server, at least one external device to which the video call operation of the first device can be switched.

7. A first device for switching video communication to at least one external device, the first device comprising:

a display unit;

a communication unit configured to receive a video call from a second device;

a user interface configured to receive a request for switching the video call to an external device; and

a controller coupled with the display unit, the communication unit and the user interface unit,

the controller is configured to:

receive video data of the video call from the second device,

display a switch button for switching the video call received from the second device to at least one external device,

receive a first request for selecting the switch button on a screen,

display a list including a plurality of images and a distance between the first device and each of a plurality of external devices according to the first request, wherein the plurality of images corresponds to a plurality of external devices that are configured to take on a video call operation,

receive a second request for selecting a first external device from among the plurality of external devices, and

transmit the video data of the video call received from the second device to the selected first external device according to the second request.

8. The first device according to claim 7 , wherein the controller obtains the at least one external device from a server.

9. The first device according to claim 7 , wherein the user interface is further configured to:

receive a third request for switching the video call from the first external device to a second external device,

wherein the second external device can perform the video call operation.

10. The first device according to claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

end a communication of the video call operation with the first external device in response to the request for switching the video call to the second external device;

establish a video call operation session with the second external device; and

transmit, through the communication unit, at least one of the audio and video data of the video call received from the second device to the second external device through the established video call operation session.

11. The first device according to claim 9 , wherein the controller further is configured to:

receive at least one of audio and video data according to a user's input from the first and second external devices; and

synchronize the audio and video data received from the first and second external devices and transmit, through the communication unit, the synchronized data to the second device.

12. The first device according to claim 7 , the controller further configured to:

pre-register at least one external device to which the video call operation of the first device can be switched.

13. A method for switching video communication from a first device to an external device, the method comprising:

receiving, by the first device, video data of a video call from a second device;

displaying, by the first device, a switch button for switching the video call received from the second to the external device;

receiving a first request for selecting the switch button;

displaying, by the first device, list including a plurality of images and a distance between the first device and each of a plurality of external devices according to the first request, wherein the plurality of images corresponds to a plurality of external devices that are configured to take on a video call operation;

receiving a second request for selecting a first external device from among the displayed at least one external device; and

transmitting, by the first device, the video data of the video call received from the second device to the selected first external device according to the second request.
