  • Patent number: 8269847
    Abstract: When an instruction of shooting a moving image is given in a mail writing mode, a mobile communication terminal detects the instruction, controlling an image pick-up unit 10 and image pick-up controlling unit 12 to continuously shoot images for a certain period of time. Plural images are obtained and displayed live for a certain period of time. When non image-moving region is found in all the plural obtained images and is included in the image displayed live, the non image-moving regions of MPEG format are subjected to a transparent process, and an animation file of GIF format is created. Mail data is read from a memory 15 and a description is given to display in line an animation GIF icon of the animation file at a current cursor position in the mail in the process of writing.
