Television telephone
First Claim
1. A communication terminal comprising:
- an input video processing unit adapted to be connected to a camera taking in an image and providing video signals of the image, the input video processing unit processing the video signals from the camera and outputting processed video signals;
an output video processing unit adapted to be connected to a display and processing the processed video signals from the input video processing unit and other video signals from another unit for display on the display; and
a display indication processing unit which includes a memory having a first store portion and a second store portion which store image data from said input video processing unit and said another unit and a memory control unit which controls writing and reading out of the image data from said memory and which controls display of an output from the output video processing unit on the display by controlling writing and reading out of the image data from said memory and a signal multiplex unit which multiplexes the image data from the first store portion and the second store portion of the memory so that the output from the output video processing unit representing the other video signals from the another unit are displayed at a first portion of the display and the output from the first store portion of the output video processing unit representing the processed video signals of the image taken in by the camera are displayed at a second portion of the display as a mirror image of the image taken in by the camera.

Abstract
A television telephone including a movable head section, a support section and a bottom section. The movable head section includes an imaging device for inputting images and a display for displaying images. The bottom section includes a communication controller for transmission and reception of encoded information of at least one of audio and visual signals to and from a communication network, and a telephone controller for controlling transmission and reception functions and including a key console unit. The support section serves for connecting the bottom section and the movable head section and for supporting the movable head section and includes an image encoder/decoder for encoding image input signals and for decoding received image signals.
