Abstract

A method for transmitting video data includes the following steps. A first portable electronic device is activated, and a video image is captured and displayed on a second portable electronic device. The second portable electronic device determines whether to enable a data synchronization function to transmit a to-be-transmitted file. If the data synchronization function is enabled, the second portable electronic device determines and transforms the format of the to-be-transmitted file. The second portable electronic device transmits the transformed to-be-transmitted file to the first portable electronic device to display the transformed to-be-transmitted file on the first portable electronic device.

Claims

1. A method for transmitting video data, comprising:

activating a first portable electronic device for capturing and displaying a video image on a second portable electronic device;

determining whether to enable a data synchronization function to transmit a to-be-transmitted file by the second portable electronic device;

determining and transforming a format of the to-be-transmitted file by the second portable electronic device if the data synchronization function is enabled; and

transmitting the transformed to-be-transmitted file to the first portable electronic device by the second portable electronic device to display the transformed to-be-transmitted file on the first portable electronic device.

2. The method for transmitting video data according to claim 1, wherein the format of the to-be-transmitted file is converted to a picture format from a text data format.

3. The method for transmitting video data according to claim 1, wherein the format of the to-be-transmitted file is converted to a videophone format from an image format.

4. The method for transmitting video data according to claim 1, wherein the to-be-transmitted file is a global positioning system (GPS) map.

5. The method for transmitting video data according to claim 1, wherein after the transformed to-be-transmitted file is transmitted to the first portable electronic device, the second portable electronic device further determines whether to disable the data synchronization function.

6. A method for transmitting video data, comprising:

activating a first portable electronic device for capturing and displaying a video image on a second portable electronic device;

determining whether to enable a data synchronization function to receive a to-be-transmitted file by the second portable electronic device;

closing the video image by the second portable electronic device if the data synchronization function is enabled; and

receiving and displaying the to-be-transmitted file by the second portable electronic device.

7. The method for transmitting video data according to claim 6, wherein the to-be-transmitted file and the video image are displayed on the same window on the screen of the second portable electronic device.

8. The method for transmitting video data according to claim 6, wherein the to-be-transmitted file and the video image are displayed on different windows on the screen of the second portable electronic device.

9. The method for transmitting video data according to claim 6, wherein the to-be-transmitted file is displayed in a full screen on the screen of the second portable electronic device.

10. The method for transmitting video data according to claim 6, wherein after the to-be-transmitted file is received, the second portable electronic device further determines whether to disable the data synchronization function.
