Communication terminal apparatus
First Claim
1. An open/close communication terminal apparatus including a first case with a display unit and a second case with an input unit connected with the first case, the apparatus comprising:
- a transmission and reception unit which transmits or receives a signal including a voice signal or an image signal;
a first control unit which controls the transmission and reception unit and processes voice communication processes;
a second control unit which controls the display unit and processes expansion processes of compressed image data;
a first power supply unit adapted to supply electric power to the first control circuit;
a second power supply unit adapted to supply electric power to the second control circuit; and
an open/close detection unit which detects an open/close status of the communication terminal apparatus;
wherein the control of the display unit is switched from the second control unit to the first control unit responsive to the communication terminal apparatus being opened for a given period of time.

Abstract
A communication terminal apparatus which improves the a quality of an additional function such as image processing, music reproduction etc. over repressing power consumption is provided. The communication terminal apparatus has a transmission and reception unit adapted to transmit or receive a signal including a voice signal or an image signal, a decode processing unit adapted to decode a received signal, a first control circuit for controlling the transmission and reception unit and the decode processing unit, a second control circuit for processing an image signal which is outputted from the decode processing unit, a first power supply unit adapted to supply electric power to the first control circuit, and a second power supply unit adapted to supply electric power to the second control circuit, and in case that the communication terminal apparatus is not operated for a given length of time, the second power supply unit reduces electric power to the second control circuit.
