Abstract

A wireless communication device comprising a camera, a display, an image data producing means, a wireless transmitting means, wherein said camera is capable of facing a first direction and a second direction, said image data producing means is capable of producing a non-inverted image data and an inverted image data, said image data producing means produces said non-inverted image data which is displayed on said display when said camera is facing said first direction and produces said inverted image data which is displayed on said display when said camera is facing said second direction, while said non-inverted image data is transferred in a wireless fashion from said wireless transmitting means.

Claims

1. A communication device comprising a microphone, a speaker, a display, an input device, a camera, an antenna, and a multiple mode implementor, wherein said multiple mode implementor implements a voice communication mode, a digital mirror mode, a video phone mode, and a call blocking mode, said camera faces the same direction with said display, voice data input from said microphone is transmitted via said antenna and voice data received via said antenna is output from said speaker when said voice communication mode is implemented, visual data is input via said camera, said visual data is converted to an inverted visual data which is inverted data of said visual data, and said inverted visual data is output from said display when said digital mirror mode is implemented, voice data input from said microphone and visual data input from said camera are transmitted via said antenna and voice data and visual data received via said antenna are output from said speaker and said display when said video phone mode is implemented, and when said communication device receives an incoming call via said antenna and the identification of said incoming call is determined to be included in a call blocking list, said incoming call is prohibited from communicating with said communication device when said call blocking mode is implemented.

2. A communication device comprising a microphone, a speaker, a display, an input device, a camera, an antenna, and a multiple mode implementor, wherein said multiple mode implementor implements a voice communication mode, a digital mirror mode, a video phone mode, and a call blocking mode, voice data input from said microphone is transmitted via said antenna and voice data received via said antenna is output from said speaker when said voice communication mode is implemented, visual data is input via said camera, said visual data is converted to an inverted visual data which is inverted data of said visual data, and said inverted visual data is output from said display when said digital mirror mode is implemented, voice data input from said microphone and visual data input from said camera are transmitted via said antenna and voice data and visual data received via said antenna are output from said speaker and said display when said video phone mode is implemented, and when said communication device receives an incoming call via said antenna and the identification of said incoming call is determined to be included in a call blocking list, said incoming call is prohibited from communicating with said communication device when said call blocking mode is implemented.
