Communication terminal device
First Claim
1. A communication terminal device including:
- first codec means for coding and decoding image data, the first codec means having prescribed communication ability;
second codec means for coding and decoding image data, the second codec means having communication ability lower than the prescribed communication ability of the first codec means;
image reading means for reading a prescribed image and converting the read image into image data;
image printing means for printing an image of image data; and
control means for starting calling of communication, wherein when the image is read by the image reading means and the converted image data is coded by the first codec means, or when coded image data is decoded by the first codec means and an image of the decoded image data is printed by the image printing means, if a calling demand of communication is generated, the control means starts calling of the communication after waiting for processing completion of the coding or the decoding by the first codec means.

Abstract
A communication terminal device by which it is possible to reduce the communication expenses, and to improve operational performance. The communication terminal device includes a CODEC circuit which has communication ability of a V.34 mode, is formed by a hardware, and codes and decodes image data. The communication terminal device includes a CODEC program which has the communication ability equal to or lower than a V.17 mode, and codes and decodes image data. When reading an image by an image reading unit and coding the image data by the CODEC circuit, or when decoding a coded image data by the CODEC circuit and printing the image of the image data by an image printing unit, if a calling demand for the communication is generated, a main control unit waits for processing completion of coding or decoding by the CODEC circuit, and starts the calling of the communication.

15. A communication method in a communication terminal device including first codec means having prescribed communication ability and including second codec means having communication ability lower than the prescribed communication ability of the first codec means, said method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) judging whether or not reading of an image by the device to code the read image by the first codec means or decoding of image data by the first codec means to print an image of the decoded image data is being carried out, when a calling demand is generated;
(b) starting calling of communication after waiting for processing completion of the first codec means if in the step (a), it is judged that reading of the image by the device to code the read image by the first codec means or decoding of the image data by the first codec means to print the image of the decoded image data is being carried out;
