Control unit 89, which has a microcomputer or the like, in addition to the call processing, to perform the data transmission processing described later. The video device 90 is, for example, a video camera, and this video camera outputs video data to the mobile phone 80.

The operation of the first embodiment will now be described with reference to FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 are timing charts showing the data holding processing of the service center 10, the base station 60, and the mobile phone 80. 6 and 7
Shows the display contents of the display panel 86 of the mobile phone 80.
First, the branch unit 640 is controlled by the control unit 66, as well as opening a baseband unit 63 and the data holding unit 641, for connecting the base band unit 63 and the interface 65.

Here, the cellular phone 80 transmits a call signal to the service center 10 via the base station 60 via the base station controller 50 in order to call the service center in response to an operation on the key operation section 88 by the user. (Step 200). Then, the service center 10 transmits service menu data including a service menu to the mobile phone 80 through the base station 60 via the base station controller 50 (step 210).

Next, the portable telephone 80 displays the contents of the service menu on the display panel 86 based on the service menu data (step 220). As a result, the display panel 86 displays the contents of the service menu as shown in FIG.
As shown, the selection of the "service: MPEG1, M
.. PEG2, MPEG4....

Here, the contents of the service menu indicate that the user of the portable telephone 80 is prompted to select one of the data compression formats, and the contents of the respective data are changed in accordance with the operation of the key operation unit 88. When any one of the compression formats is selected, a selection signal indicating the selected data compression format is sent to the service center 10 via the base station 60 and the base station controller 50.

Next, the service center 10 receives the selection signal and instructs the base station 60 through the base station controller 50 to perform data compression in the selected data compression format (step 230). Then, the base station 60 starts preparing for data compression (step 240). That is, the control unit 66 receives an instruction from the service center 10 through the interface 65, the compressor 642
And activates the storage device 643 and sets the selected data compression format in the compression device 642.

Next, the service center 10 transmits a data transfer destination selection signal to the base station 60 via the base station controller 50.
Through to the mobile phone 80 (step 250).
Here, the data transfer destination selection signal indicates that the user of the mobile phone 80 is prompted to select a data transfer destination.
Therefore, the mobile phone 80 causes the display panel 86 to display each candidate of the data transfer destination based on the data transfer destination selection signal (step 20).

[0039] As a result, the display panel 86,: to display the contents, such as "data transfer destination selection own terminal specified terminal (adress) temporary storage ...". Here, when any one of the candidates of the destination in response to operation of the key operating unit 88 is selected, a selection signal indicating the selected transfer destination, the base station controller 50 through base station 60 It is sent to a service center 10 through.

Next, the service center 10 instructs the base station 60 via the base station controller 50 to transfer the compressed data to the selected transfer destination after the data compression processing (step 270). Then, the base station 60 performs preparation processing after compression (step 280). That is,
The control unit 66 sets the transfer destination of the compressed data in accordance with the instruction of the service center 10 and sets the branching device 640
Is switched to

Thus, the branching device 640 connects the baseband unit 63 and the data holding unit 641 and opens the space between the baseband unit 63 and the interface 65. Thereafter, completion signal indicating that completion of the preparation for receiving data is sent to the service center 10 via the base station controller 50 (step 290).

Next, the service center 10 transfers the completion signal to the mobile phone 80 via the base station controller 50 and the base station 60 (step 300). The mobile phone 80 transmits the video data from the video device 90 to the mobile phone 80. The signal is transmitted to the base station 60 via the base station controller 50 (step 31).
0). Along with this, the base station 60 starts the process of compressing and storing the video data from the mobile phone 80 (step 3).
20).

That is, in the base station 60, the compression device 642 receives video data as reception data through the conversion unit 62 and the baseband unit 63 via the RF amplifier unit 61, and converts the video data into the selected data compression format. And stores the compressed data in the storage device 643 (step 320).

Next, in the portable telephone 80, the video equipment 9
When the transmission of the video data of 0 is completed, a transmission completion signal is transmitted to the service center 10 via the base station controller 50 through the base station 60 (step 330). Thereafter, the base station 60, when it is completed to store the compressed data in the storage device 643, the base station controller a storage completion signal 50
And transmits to the service center 10 via (Step 34
0).

Next, upon receiving the storage completion signal, the service center 10 notifies the mobile phone 80 through the base station 60 via the base station controller 50 that the compression processing of the video data has been normally completed (step 350). ). Then, the user is notified from the mobile phone 80 that the compression processing has been normally completed. Thereafter, in the base station 60, the compressed data is called from the storage device 643 and transmitted to the selected transfer destination.

[0046] For example, as a data transfer destination selection, when the own terminal is selected, the compressed data is transferred to the mobile phone 80. As the data transfer destination selection, designated terminal is selected, when subjected to the specified destination address, the compressed data by specifying the address is transferred. For example, when the specified address of the home computer 40, the compressed data, a public network 30 through the mobile switching system 20
Is transferred to the personal computer 40 at home. When the temporary storage is selected, the storage of the compressed data in the storage device 643 is continued.

Hereinafter, features of the present embodiment will be described.
In the base station 60, as described above, for compressed by the selected data compression format by the mobile phone 80, the user, by the portable telephone 80, by specifying the desired data compression format, the compressed data from the base station 60 , The compressed data can be decompressed / reproduced without any inconvenience. In addition, the cellular phone 80, because receives the compressed data, as compared with the case of receiving video data before the compression process, it is possible to reduce the amount of received data, such as reproduction of received video data Processing can be performed easily.

Further, in the above embodiment, the base station 6
0, by the compressor 642, by compressing the video data, an example has been described to reduce the amount of data is not limited to this, simply by modifying and saving the data format of the video data in the storage unit 643 Is also good. In this case, the cellular phone 80, the base station through the Service Center 106
The storage format of the video data is changed to the specified storage format, and the storage unit 643 stores the video data in the storage format.

[0049] Furthermore, the practice of the present invention is not limited to the case of performing the compression processing of the video data in the base station 60, the compression processing of the video data, if the communication network side, may be carried out in any device. In the above embodiment has been explained example of compressed video data is not limited thereto,
Various audio and image data may be compressed.

Also, a program for executing the above-described functions is distributed via a network, or stored and distributed in a storage medium, and the program is downloaded and installed using the communication function of the mobile phone 60. It may be used.
