Abstract

The communication device comprising a multiple function implementer, wherein the multiple function implementer implements a voice communication function, a digital mirror function, a non-digital mirror function, and an email function.

Claims

1. A communication device comprising:

a microphone;

a speaker;

an input device;

a display;

a first camera;

a second camera;

an antenna; and

a multiple function implementer;

wherein said multiple function implementer implements a voice communication function, a digital mirror function, a non-digital mirror function, and an email function;

a voice communication is processed to be performed when said voice communication function is implemented;

a first visual data is processed to be retrieved via said first camera, said first visual data is processed to be inverted, and said first visual data which is inverted is processed to be displayed on said display when said digital mirror function is implemented;

a second visual data is processed to be retrieved via said second camera and said second visual data is processed to be displayed on said display when said non-digital mirror function is implemented, wherein said second visual data is the visual data which is not inverted;

an email is processed to be authored in accordance with the user input and said email is processed to be transferred to another device in a wireless fashion when said email function is implemented.

4. The communication device of claim 1, wherein said first camera faces the same or similar direction with said display.

5. The communication device of claim 1, wherein said first camera faces a first direction and said second camera faces a second direction which is different from said first direction.

6. The communication device of claim 1, wherein said first camera faces a first direction and said second camera faces a second direction which is different from said first direction, and said first camera faces the same or similar direction with said display.

7. The communication device of claim 1, wherein the inverted version of the visual data retrieved via said first camera is generated by reading the stored visual data from a first direction, and the non-inverted version of the visual data retrieved via said second camera is generated by reading the stored visual data from a second direction.

8. The communication device of claim 1, wherein said communication device further implements wireless audiovisual communication.

2. A system comprising:

a communication device comprising a microphone, a speaker, an input device, a display, a first camera, a second camera, and an antenna; and

a multiple function implementer;

wherein said multiple function implementer implements a voice communication function, a digital mirror function, a non-digital mirror function, and an email function;

a voice communication is processed to be performed when said voice communication function is implemented;

a first visual data is processed to be retrieved via said first camera, said first visual data is processed to be inverted, and said first visual data which is inverted is processed to be displayed on said display when said digital mirror function is implemented;

a second visual data is processed to be retrieved via said second camera and said second visual data is processed to be displayed on said display when said non-digital mirror function is implemented, wherein said second visual data is the visual data which is not inverted;

an email is processed to be authored in accordance with the user input and said email is processed to be transferred to another device in a wireless fashion when said email function is implemented.

9. The system of claim 2, wherein said first camera faces the same or similar direction with said display.

10. The system of claim 2, wherein said first camera faces a first direction and said second camera faces a second direction which is different from said first direction.

11. The system of claim 2, wherein said first camera faces a first direction and said second camera faces a second direction which is different from said first direction, and said first camera faces the same or similar direction with said display.

12. The system of claim 2, wherein the inverted version of the visual data retrieved via said first camera is generated by reading the stored visual data from a first direction, and the non-inverted version of the visual data retrieved via said second camera is generated by reading the stored visual data from a second direction.

13. The system of claim 2, wherein said communication device further implements wireless audiovisual communication.

3. A method for a communication device comprising a microphone, a speaker, an input device, a display, a first camera, a second camera, and an antenna, said method comprising:

a multiple function implementing step;

wherein said multiple function implementing step includes a voice communication function implementing step, a digital mirror function implementing step, a non-digital mirror function implementing step, and an email function implementing step;

a voice communication is processed to be performed when said voice communication function implementing step is implemented;

a first visual data is processed to be retrieved via said first camera, said first visual data is processed to be inverted, and said first visual data which is inverted is processed to be displayed on said display when said digital mirror function implementing step is implemented;

a second visual data is processed to be retrieved via said second camera and said second visual data is processed to be displayed on said display when said non-digital mirror function implementing step is implemented, wherein said second visual data is the visual data which is not inverted;

an email is processed to be authored in accordance with the user input and said email is processed to be transferred to another device in a wireless fashion when said email function implementing step is implemented.

14. The method of claim 3, wherein said first camera faces the same or similar direction with said display.

15. The method of claim 3, wherein said first camera faces a first direction and said second camera faces a second direction which is different from said first direction.

16. The method of claim 3, wherein said first camera faces a first direction and said second camera faces a second direction which is different from said first direction, and said first camera faces the same or similar direction with said display.

17. The method of claim 3, wherein the inverted version of the visual data retrieved via said first camera is generated by reading the stored visual data from a first direction, and the non-inverted version of the visual data retrieved via said second camera is generated by reading the stored visual data from a second direction.

18. The method of claim 3, wherein said communication device further implements wireless audiovisual communication.
