  • Patent number: 8319817
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for a video call using transmission of divided image frames are provided. A transmitting mobile terminal captures a still image with the first resolution at a predefined period, divides the captured image into images with the second resolution that is smaller than the first resolution, and transmits the divided images to a receiving mobile terminal. Then the receiving terminal receives the divided images at a predefined period, creates a combined image corresponding to the initial still image from the divided images, and outputs the combined image on a display unit.

  • Patent number: 6801765
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for locking and unlocking a mobile telephone. The method comprises setting a locking mode by receiving a locking voice, a locking-wait time and a locking number; receiving a locking voice when there is a key input in the locking mode; partially releasing the locking function when the received locking voice is identical to a registered locking voice; switching an operation mode of the mobile telephone to an idle mode, after partially releasing the locking function; and switching the operation mode of the mobile telephone back to the locking mode, when there is no key input in the idle mode until the locking-wait time has elapsed.

  • Patent number: 6714799
    Abstract: A system for allowing a GSM subscriber to use a SIM card in a CDMA service area. A CDMA terminal having a mountable SIM card, includes a SIM interface for interfacing between the SIM card and a controller of the CDMA terminal. The CDMA terminal reads unique subscriber information for SIM card verification from the SIM card and sends the read unique subscriber information, when the SIM card is mounted therein, and enables the SIM card upon receipt of verification for the SIM card. A CDMA subsystem sends a verification confirm request for the SIM card to a GSM subsystem using the unique subscriber information and information about a predetermined agreement with a GSM system upon receipt of the unique subscriber information for SIM card verification; and assigns a unique virtual management number for the CDMA terminal mounted with the SIM card and sends SIM card verification to the CDMA terminal when the GSM subsystem verifies the SIM card.
