Patent Images
1. A data communication apparatus capable of communicating voice and image data, comprising:
- input means for inputting an own image;
display means for displaying a partner image sent from a partner communication apparatus and a call generation operation image plane to be used when an operator of the data communication apparatus executes a call generating operation;
detecting means for detecting a call generating operation to the partner communication apparatus; and
control means for causing said display means to automatically display the own image from said input means together with the call generating operation image plane when said detecting means detects the call generating operation, and for controlling said input means and said display means such that the own image from said input means is automatically and simultaneously displayed in a small area within the call generating operation image plane.

Abstract
Data communication apparatus capable of communicating voice and image data includes an input unit which inputs an image at the apparatus. A display unit displays an image sent from a partner communication apparatus and a call generating operation image plane. A call generation operation to the partner communication apparatus is detected and the input and display units are controlled so that the inputted image at the apparatus is part of a display of the call generation operation image plane when the call generation operation is detected.

6. A data communication apparatus capable of communicating voice and image data, comprising:
-
input means for inputting an own image; display means for displaying a partner image sent from a partner communication apparatus; detecting means for detecting whether there is an incoming call from the partner communication apparatus or not; and control means for causing, when said detecting means detects that there is the incoming call from the partner communication apparatus, said display means to automatically display the own image from said input means together with an image plane for selecting an instruction to respond to the incoming call or not, and for controlling said input means and said display means such that the own image from said input means is automatically and simultaneously displayed in a small area within the image plane for selecting the instruction to respond to the incoming call or not. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)
