Patent number: 6515695Abstract: There is disclosed a multimedia communications terminal capable of quickly connecting with the other party with less burden on the exchange station. The terminal has a phone book memory for storing a phone book database and image data. One record consists of a phone book memory number, a phone number, a name, an encrypting flag, a terminal kind number, a send/receive YES/NO flag, a sender information notice flag, and an address at which image data is stored. The terminal further includes a main controller including a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM. The main controller controls all the portions of the terminal to realize the operation of a portable videophone. When an outgoing call is made, the phone book memory is referenced. The outgoing call is made in connection procedures adapted for the kind of the other party.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1999Date of Patent: February 4, 2003Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Jun Sato, Akira Irube, Nobuhiro Inoue, Yoshihiro Kataoka, Yasunori Arai

Patent number: 6377818Abstract: A communication terminal apparatus is separated into a housing that is capable of video/voice communications, and a housing that is capable of only voice communications. Since functions of the housing that is capable of only the voice communications are limited, the housing becomes small, can be stored in a pocket or the like, and can immediately go off-hook upon reception of an incoming call. Upon reception of a videophone communication request, the user goes off-hook using the housing that is capable of only the voice communications to immediately make voice communications with the partner terminal, and can switch the communication mode to the video/voice communications using the housing that is capable of the video/voice communications, as needed. Hence, even a communication terminal having a videophone function can comprise a video input/output function without impairing its portability and storability.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 1998Date of Patent: April 23, 2002Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Akira Irube, Shigenobu Minami, Osamu Yamagishi
