Telephone unit having telephone directory with picture data and method for generating telephone directory with picture data
First Claim
1. A telephone unit having a telephone directory with picture data, comprising:
- receiving means for receiving compressed moving picture data from a communication party;
first decoding means for decoding said compressed moving picture data;
encoding means for encoding one or more frames of the decoded moving picture data into a compressed still picture data;
correlating means for correlating said compressed still picture data with a telephone number of said communication party; and
registering means for registering said compressed still picture data and said telephone number with said telephone directory,wherein the still picture data generated by said encoding means is in conformity with a still picture format which is different from a moving picture format with which the moving picture data is in conformity, andwherein said compressed still picture and said telephone number are registered with said telephone directory in JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format, said telephone number being recorded in a comment segment of a JPEG file.

Abstract
When a telephone unit communicates with a communication party using a television telephone function, a receiving portion of the telephone unit receives compressed moving picture data from the communication party having a moving picture encoder through a communication network. While the received moving picture compressed data is successively decoded by a moving picture decoder and displayed on a displaying device or the like, when the user of the telephone unit performs an inputting operation equivalent to a shutter operation, one frame of decoded picture data at the timing is supplied to a still picture encoder and encoded as still picture compressed data. In addition, a communication party telephone number detecting portion detects the telephone number of the communication party and stores it to a telephone directory along with the compressed still picture data.
