Patent Images
1. A mobile phone for displaying a three-dimensional (3D) image, comprising:
- a memory for storing at least one 3D image code and a 3D image mapped to each 3D image code; and
a controller for, when a text-based message is created, inserting a 3D image code mapped to a 3D image selected by a user into the text-based message, and sending the message.

Abstract
A message service method supporting a three-dimensional (3D) image on a mobile phone, and a mobile phone therefor, are provided. A memory stores at least one 3D image code and a 3D image mapped to each 3D image code. When a text-based message is created, a controller inserts a 3D image code mapped to a 3D image selected by a user into the text-based message and sends the message. When the 3D image is dynamically displayed along with text of the message, a sender can better express his or her emotions. A 3D moving image is a more effective means of expression than a still image or text.

9. A mobile phone for displaying a 3D image, comprising:
-
a determiner for determining whether a 3D image code is inserted into a message received from an external transmission; a code extractor for, when the determiner determines that the 3D image code is inserted into the message, extracting the 3D image code inserted into the message; and a message display for displaying a read 3D image and message content by reading the 3D image mapped to the 3D image code extracted by the code extractor. - View Dependent Claims (10)
