Abstract

Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for displaying hologram of a mobile communication terminal. The present invention can create hologram from two-dimensional image by providing a hologram processing function for a mobile communication terminal and provide the hologram to a user. Further, the mobile communication terminal with the hologram processing function can perform medical diagnosis on a user, and thus can save a life by performing accurate medical diagnosis in emergency through hologram communication with an emergency center.

Claims

1. A hologram displaying apparatus of a mobile communication terminal comprising:

a RF processing section for wirelessly transmitting/receiving data;

a camera section for demodulating digital image data inputted with an image processing;

a backup section for backing up and outputting the demodulated image data;

a control section for demodulating image data received through the RF processing section at a hologram mode so as to output the corresponding digital image data to the camera section and making the backup section output the backup data;

a panel interface section for receiving the image data outputted from the backup section, image-processing the received data and then outputting the image-processed data; and

a hologram processing section for projecting hologram using the image data outputted from the panel interface section.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the hologram processing section comprises,

a light source generating section for generating light:

a optical switching section for switching the light according to the image data and outputting two-dimensional image signal;

a hologram displaying section for creating and displaying hologram from the two-dimensional image signal by using difference of angle of vision between two eyes; and

a light source lens for enlarging and projecting the hologram to the space.

3. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the optical switching section comprises a digital micromirror device for receiving red light, a digital micromirror device for receiving blue light, and a digital micromirror device for receiving green light through the optical switching.

4. The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the hologram displaying section comprises image pixels separated from each other with a predetermined gap and transmitting the two-dimensional image signal and a mask pitch comprising transparent slits and a lattice pattern and projecting the two-dimensional image signal to the light source lens through the transparent slits.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the hologram processing section comprises a light-emitting lamp;

a red mirror, a green mirror and a blue mirror separating the light into primary color light of red, green and blue, respectively, according to the image data;

a mono liquid crystal panel for reflecting light of other colors than the primary colors and projecting only the primary color light;

a LCD panel for resynthesizing the projected light of the primary colors so as to create two-dimensional image;

a combiner tube for creating hologram from the two-dimensional image by color combination; and

a lens for enlarging and projecting the created hologram.

6. The apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a medical diagnosis section for performing medical diagnosis on a user of the terminal and outputting corresponding diagnosis data and a displaying section for receiving the diagnosis data and displaying it to the user according to control of the control section.

7. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the control section compares the diagnosis data with a previously stored medical reference value, and transmits the diagnosis data to a preset emergency center through the RF processing section when it determines the user'"'"'s condition as abnormal.

8. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the control section converts a mode of the terminal into a hologram mode according to a choice of the user, and transmits image data regarding the user photographed through the camera section to the emergency center through the RF processing section.

9. The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the control section converts a mode of the terminal into a hologram mode according to a choice of the user, and transmits image data regarding the user photographed through the camera section to the emergency center through the RF processing section.

10. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the control section demodulates analog image data received from the emergency center through the RF processing section and outputs corresponding digital image data to the camera section and makes the backup section output the backup data.

11. A method for displaying hologram of a mobile communication terminal comprising processes of:

performing medical diagnosis on a user through a medical diagnosis section contacting with the user and outputting corresponding diagnosis data;

comparing the diagnosis data with a previously stored medical reference value, and setting up call with a preset emergency center to transmit the diagnosis data, in the case of an abnormal state as a result of the comparison;

photographing the user through a camera section according to a choice of the user and transmitting corresponding image data to the preset emergency center; and

demodulating analog image data received from the emergency center to digital image data, creating hologram using the demodulated digital image data and displaying the hologram to the user.

12. The method according to claim 11, wherein the process of displaying the hologram comprises steps of:

backing up and image-processing the digital image data;

switching light projected from light source according to the processed image data and projecting the light to transparent slits of a mask pitch through image pixels to display the hologram; and
