Abstract

The wireless communication device and the method thereof which implements the 1st function and the 2nd function; when the 1st function is implemented, the video image generator processes a plurality of two-dimensional images and the plurality of two-dimensional images are displayed on the display, and when the 2nd function is implemented, the video image generator processes a plurality of two-dimensional images and a plurality of three-dimensional images, both of which are displayed on the display.

Claims

1. A wireless communication device comprising:

a microphone;

a speaker;

an input device;

a display; and

a video image generator;

wherein said wireless communication device implements a 1st mode and a 2nd mode;

wherein said video image generator generates two-dimensional images and said two-dimensional images are displayed on said display under said 1st mode; and

wherein said video image generator generates two-dimensional images and three-dimensional images and said two-dimensional images and said three-dimensional images are displayed on said display simultaneously under said 2nd mode.

2. The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein said video image generator includes a video processor.

3. The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein each of said three-dimensional images includes a plurality of polygons.

4. The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein said three-dimensional images indicate computer generated three-dimensional objects located in a computer generated three-dimensional space.

5. The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein said 1st mode is terminated and said 2nd mode is initiated or vice versa in accordance with a user input via said input device.

6. The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein said 2nd mode is implemented when a three-dimensional image generating signal is input to said video image generator.

7. A wireless communication device comprising:

a microphone;

a speaker;

an input device;

a display; and

a video image generator;

wherein said wireless communication device implements a 1st mode and a 2nd mode;

wherein said video image generator generates two-dimensional images and said two-dimensional images are displayed on said display under said 1st mode;

wherein said video image generator generates two-dimensional images and three-dimensional images and said two-dimensional images and said three-dimensional images are displayed on said display simultaneously under said 2nd mode; and

wherein when said wireless communication device receives a certain wireless signal while implementing said 2nd mode, said 1st mode is implemented.

8. The wireless communication device of claim 7, wherein said certain wireless signal indicates an incoming phone call.

9. The wireless communication device of claim 7, wherein each of said three-dimensional images includes a plurality of polygons.

10. The wireless communication device of claim 7, wherein said three-dimensional images indicate computer generated three-dimensional objects located in a computer generated three-dimensional space.

11. The wireless communication device of claim 7, wherein said 1st mode is terminated and said 2nd mode is initiated or vice versa in accordance with a user input via said input device.

12. The wireless communication device of claim 7, wherein said 2nd mode is implemented when a three-dimensional image generating signal is input to said video image generator.

13. A method for a wireless communication device comprising a microphone, a speaker, an input device, a display;

and a video image generator, said method comprising;

a 1st function implementing step, wherein said video image generator generates two-dimensional images and said two-dimensional images are displayed on said display; and

a 2nd function implementing step, wherein said video image generator generates two-dimensional images and three-dimensional images and said two-dimensional images and said three-dimensional images are displayed on said display simultaneously;

wherein when said wireless communication device receives a certain wireless signal while implementing said 2nd function implementing step, said 1st function implementing step is implemented.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein said video image generator includes a video processor.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein each of said three-dimensional images includes a plurality of polygons.

16. The method of claim 13, wherein said three-dimensional images indicate computer generated three-dimensional objects located in a computer generated three-dimensional space.

17. The method of claim 13, wherein said 1st function implementing step is terminated and said 2nd function implementing step is initiated or vice versa in accordance with a user input via said input device.

18. The method of claim 13, wherein said 2nd function implementing step is implemented when a three-dimensional image generating signal is input to said video image generator.

19. The method of claim 13, wherein said certain wireless signal indicates an incoming phone call.
