  RADIOCOMMUNICATION TERMINAL ALLOWING THE CREATION OF

MULTIMEDIA MESSAGES

  The present invention relates to a terminal for

  radiocommunication allowing the creation of multimedia messages.

  Wile relates more precisely to a radiocommunication terminal associated with a photographic device and a sound recording device by means of which at least one image

  can be photographed and at least one sound can be recorded.

  It is known to transmit by MMS (Multimedia Message Service) by means of a portable telephone a photographic or a

  its created by means of such devices.

  However, image and sound are not associated and if he wishes to associate them, the user must attach image and sound one after the other

at MMS.

  The object of the invention is to suppress this processing by proposing a specific command on the radiocommunication terminal allowing the creation of multimedia or image messages and its related wind, possibly from the recording of the sound and the taking of [ image and at least to the creation of a

  multimedia message and this with a minimum of manipulation.

  To do this, the invention provides a radiocommunication terminal associated with a photographic device and a sound recording device by which at least one image can be photographed and at least one sound can be recorded, characterized in that it comprises a means of creating a multimedia message according to a model containing an image field and a sound or wind field respectively recorded the image and led it

its related to each other.

  i This terminal allows you to send multimedia messages, such as MMS, of photographs with the ambient sound precisely recorded at the time of taking the photograph and

  truly share the moment with a distant person.

  According to a preferred embodiment, the terminal comprises a means of at least temporary saving of said image

  photograph and audit its recorded sound linked to each other.

  Advantageously, it comprises a means of saving said photographed image and said recorded sound linked to each other.

Jo in a permanent memory.

  The said multimedia message model may include a

text field.

  The terminal may include a means for creating a series of timed models or a series of dedicated models is recorded.

images and / or said sounds.

  Advantageously, it comprises a means of simultaneous switching to said photographic device and to said device.

sound recording.

  Preferably, said photographic device and said device

  sound recording integrated wind.

  11 may include a means of creating local tools from

of said image and said sound.

  The invention relates in particular to a portable telephone.

  The invention is described below in more detail with the aid of figures.

  representing only preferred embodiments of the invention.

  Figure 1 is a schematic representation of the device

in accordance with the invention.

  Figure 2 is a schematic representation of the device

  according to the invention according to another embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a portable telephone 1 is associated with a photographic device and a sound recording device thanks to which an image can be photographed and a sound can be recorded. Preferably, as represented, this photographic device and these measures

  sound recording wind integrated on the phone 1.

  The portable telephone 1 also includes a means for simultaneously switching the photographic device and the sound recording device. For example, this means may consist of long control of the photographic device. By long pressing of the corresponding button 3, the sound recording device constituting the microphone of the telephone 1 is put into operation. A special order quoted "animation" can also be considered. Alternatively, switching the photographic device and

  that of the sound recording device can be successive.

  The user can therefore take a photograph or image,

  The sound recording being automatically associated.

  By a specific command of the portable telephone 1, wind carried out successively: a temporary backup step 2 of the photographed image 4 and of the recorded sound 5 linked to each other, this backup being able to be made in the internal memory of the telephone , on an associated memory card or on a remote memory, for example on the Internet, At a stage of creation of an MMS 6 from this image or this sound according to a model containing an image field and a sound or wind field respectively recorded

  ['image and sound linked to each other.

  This model 2 can be created by the user or can be integrated into the mobile phone 1, his photographic device or his

sound recording device.

  This model of the MMS message 6 can contain a text field 7 allowing the user to complete his message with written text. Optionally, the sound and / or the image can be saved in a permanent memory 8 of the telephone, to constitute a bank or an album of photographs and associated sounds. This album can be used for the creation of local tools

  o such as wallpapers, home or end pages, etc.

  In this case, the telephone 1 advantageously includes a means of selecting images or sounds in the permanent memory and of creating an MMS containing this file, so as to no longer send an "live" MMS but after selection in

I'album.

  Thanks to the telephone according to the invention, it is also possible to send by MMS a timed series of models where a series of images and / or sounds is recorded as above.

  described. We can thus obtain an "animation" effect.

  This embodiment is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 2.

  According to the example represented, the photographic user five

  images and record trots of sounds associated with trots of images.

  The user selects a specific command and this series of photographed images imgl to img5 and these recorded sounds s1, s3 and s4 are saved temporarily in F, linked and a MMS 6 '

is created containing this data.

  This 6 'MMS message then contains flawed text fields.

  Possibly, related images and sounds saved in a permanent memory 8 of the telephone, on an associated memory card or on a remote memory, for example on the Internet, as previously described. It is then from this

backup that is created the MMS.

  The timing of the sequence of images and sounds can be preset on the telephone and configurable image by image by the user. Wile can also be defined by duration

  recorded sound, when a sound is associated with the image.

  To do this, the telephone 1 includes a means of creating an MMS comprising a series of successive models, timed according to a fixed period of time or chosen by the user, in each 0 model being recorded an image and an associated sound or only

a picture.

  The embodiments described above are examples

  for carrying out the process according to the invention. Other examples

  equivalents can be envisaged, covered by the invention.

  For example, the temporary backup step can be deleted and the M MS 6 created directly by a device provided on the camera or mobile phone. By this command, the MMS is created, a photograph is taken and a sound recorded and the image photographed and the sound associated with wind

  directly recorded in the MMS model.

  The invention has been described above in relation to a portable telephone but can relate to any radiocommunication terminal

  such as for example a personal organizer.
