Publication number: 20060126950Abstract: Disclosed is a method for managing image files in a mobile communication terminal capable of classifying a compressed image file in each field unit and then restructuring the compressed image file only with a field including essential information among the classified fields, thereby storing and managing the files. The method comprises processes of retrieves a compressed image file, which is produced in itself in the mobile communication terminal or received via the communication process, in a byte unit, classifying it in each field unit, and extracting only field information which is essential information to restructure the compressed image file. Thereby, the mobile communication terminal stores and manages the compressed image file restructured only with the essential information in the internal memory, and increasing an overall efficiency of the terminal memory and decreasing a possibility of an error occurrence during the decoding operation and the image acquisition operation for the compressed image file.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2005Publication date: June 15, 2006Inventors: Jin Chul Ahn, Sung Lee
