Description

  The present invention transmits a real-time video photographed by its own camera as a self-video to a counterpart terminal that is a communication partner, and receives and displays the real-time video photographed by the camera on the partner terminal side as a partner video. The present invention relates to a telephone device and a program.

In recent years, with the widespread use of mobile phone devices with camera functions, portable video phone terminals (such as mobile phone devices with a TV function) have been put into practical use. In this portable videophone terminal, if the direction of the camera can be adjusted to an arbitrary direction, a camera image taken in an arbitrary direction can be transmitted to the other terminal instead of the own face image. It is also possible to use the video by checking the video with the other party. For example, when a person who is asked to shop is sending video in the store sequentially while making a videophone call, the communication partner who received the video in the store suddenly said, Even though I was told to buy a car, I often didn't know what that was, and I had to go back and look around the corridor while shooting with the camera.
In such a case, for example, if the video phone has a recording function (see Patent Document 1), it is possible to rewind and display the recorded content to an arbitrary position.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-1111637

However, the above-described videophone of Patent Document 1 is premised on a recording function for an answering machine, and even if the receiver can later confirm the videophone video during the answering machine, the recording function for an answering machine is used. It was not possible to effectively deal with the above-described case only by providing the above.
An object of the present invention is to enable a communication partner to communicate with each other while communicating with each other the video at an arbitrary time point recorded during a videophone communication.

Display means for reproducing and displaying in the first display area and displaying the partner video in the second display area, and the designated video as the common confirmation video to be displayed. And transmitting means for transmitting to the hand terminal, said recording unit, when communication connection with the counterpart terminal is released, and stops the recording operation, among the recordings in the communication connection, the The common confirmation video is stored, and all other videos are deleted .
Furthermore, a program for realizing the main functions shown in the invention described in claim 2 is provided to the computer (the invention described in claim 8 ).

The invention described in claim 1 or 2 described above may be as follows.
When the common confirmation video is transmitted to the counterpart terminal, the common confirmation video is transmitted as a substitute for the self-video (the invention according to claim 3).

  When the common confirmation video is transmitted to the counterpart terminal, the common confirmation video is attached and combined with the self-video (invention according to claim 4).

  The playback video is displayed with an elapsed time from the start of communication connected to the counterpart terminal or the start of recording of the counterpart video to the recording of the video, and the elapsed time. The added reproduced video is transmitted as a common confirmation video to the other terminal (invention according to claim 5).

When an instruction to end recording confirmation is received during the playback operation, the partner video is switched and displayed in place of the common confirmation video being reproduced and transmitted, and the self video is transmitted to the partner terminal instead of the common confirmation video. (Invention of Claim 6 ).

According to the first aspect of the present invention, in addition to sequentially recording the partner video in a state where the real-time video captured by the partner terminal is received and displayed on the first display area, communication with the partner terminal is performed. When a recording confirmation instruction is received during connection, the recorded content is reproduced and displayed in the first display area in place of the partner video, and the partner video is displayed in the second display area. When any video is specified, this specified video is sent to the other terminal as a common confirmation video to be displayed , and when the communication connection with the other terminal is released, the recording operation is stopped and the communication is being established. The common confirmation video is saved and all other videos are deleted . According to the second aspect of the present invention, when a recording confirmation instruction is received during communication connection with the counterpart terminal, the recorded content is read and displayed, and an arbitrary video is selected from the reproduced video. Is designated, the designated video is reproduced and displayed in the first display area in place of the partner video as the common confirmation video to be displayed, and the partner video is displayed in the second display area. When it is sent to the terminal and the communication connection with the partner terminal is released, the recording operation is stopped, and the common confirmation video is saved and all other video is erased from the recorded contents during communication connection. I did it. As a result, it is possible to communicate with each other while confirming each other's video images recorded at any time during videophone communication, and smooth and quick communication support can be realized. For example, in the case of the above-mentioned shopping case, when the shopping request is received and displayed while recording the video in the store, the recorded content is reproduced and displayed and the shopping target is confirmed. Since it is sent to the person who requested the shopping), it is possible to confirm the video showing the shopping object in both. This facilitates communication and makes it easier for children and the elderly to ask for shopping. Further, when the communication connection with the counterpart terminal is released, the recording operation is stopped and the recorded contents during the communication connection are deleted, so that the recording memory can be saved. In this case, it is possible to automatically save only the necessary video if the common confirmation video is saved and all the other videos are deleted from the recorded contents during communication connection.

This video phone screen has a main area ma and a spare area sa. In the main area ma, in addition to a character string indicating that a video phone call is in progress, a real-time video shot by the camera on the partner terminal side is used as the partner video. In addition, in the spare area sa, a real-time video photographed by its own camera is displayed as a self-video (monitor video). In addition, in the spare area sa during a videophone call, a “playback” icon for instructing playback of a video recorded during the videophone call is arranged and displayed, and the “playback” icon is selected by a predetermined key operation. When designated, a reproduction start instruction is given to the CPU 11 in response to this operation.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a display example of a playback screen on the main display unit 4 that plays back and displays a recorded video during a videophone call.
In the main area ma of the reproduction screen, a reproduction video (playback video) is reproduced and displayed in addition to a character string indicating that recording and reproduction are being performed. Here, at the time of playback, an elapsed time (for example, time in minutes and seconds) from the start of a call (at the start of recording) to the recording of the video is obtained and displayed in one corner of the playback video. In addition, in the spare area sa of the playback screen, a self-video (monitor video) is displayed and a partner video (real-time video) received from the partner terminal is displayed.

  In addition, in the spare area sa of the playback screen, in addition to icons for instructing “fast forward” and “rewind” during playback (left / right arrow shapes), an icon for instructing “pause” of playback, A “confirm” icon that designates the currently displayed playback video as a common confirmation video that confirms with the other party, and an “end” icon that indicates the end of the playback operation are arranged and displayed. The instruction corresponding to the icon is given to the CPU 11. Here, when the “confirm” icon is selected and designated, the CPU 11 transmits the currently displayed reproduction video designated as the common confirmation video to the partner terminal. In this case, the playback video to which the elapsed time from the start of the call (at the start of recording) to the recording of the video is calculated and transmitted is transmitted to the partner terminal as a common confirmation video. Here, the common confirmation video (reproduction video) is displayed and output on the main area ma of the videophone screen on the counterpart terminal side.

  Next, the operation concept of the mobile phone device in this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. Here, each function described in these flowcharts is stored in the form of a readable program code, and operations according to the program code are sequentially executed. In addition, the operation according to the above-described program code transmitted via the transmission medium can be sequentially executed. In other words, in addition to the recording medium, an operation peculiar to this embodiment can be executed by using a program / data supplied externally via a transmission medium.

FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are flowcharts showing the operation of the mobile phone device that is started in response to the ON operation of the video phone button that activates the video phone function.
First, the CPU 11 performs a call operation for calling a desired destination in a state where the camera imaging unit 7 is activated and the camera monitor is turned ON in response to the ON operation of the videophone button (step S1). (Step S2), a standby state is established until a line connection with the communication partner is established (Step S3).

  Now, when the line is connected to the partner terminal, the voice microphone 18 is activated (step S4), and then the self-video (monitor video) photographed by the camera imaging unit 7 and the input voice from the voice microphone 18 are sent to the partner terminal. In addition to starting the transmission operation (step S5), after receiving the real-time video captured by the camera on the partner terminal side as the partner video and starting the reception of the partner voice (step S6), the recording / playback unit 20 On the other hand, the start of recording is instructed, and the operation of recording the partner video received from the partner terminal in the recording memory 20a is started (step S7). In this case, call recording is not performed, and only the other party's video is recorded. Then, the videophone screen is switched to that described above, the partner video is displayed in the main area ma, and the self video (monitor video) is displayed in the spare area sa (step S8).

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a display example of each videophone screen on the own side and the other side during normal (non-playback) time.
In the main area ma of the videophone screen, the partner video (real-time video) is displayed in a large size over the entire area, and the self video (monitor video) is displayed in a small size in the spare area sa. In this case, the video displayed in the main area ma on the own side is the video displayed in the spare area sa on the other side, and the video displayed on the spare area sa on the other side is It is the image | video currently displayed on the main area ma.

  In this state, the CPU 11 checks whether or not the call is interrupted (on-hook operation) (step S9) and whether or not the playback instruction is operated (step S10), and returns to step C9 to enter a standby state until any operation is performed. . Here, when the reproduction instruction (playback instruction) of the recorded video during the videophone call is received by selecting and specifying the “playback” icon in the videophone screen (YES in step S10), FIG. Then, the recorded video is reproduced and displayed. Although not shown in the figure, when the videophone button is turned OFF during the videophone operation, the video transmission / reception is disconnected while the call is continued, and the recording operation is terminated.

  The CPU 11 switches from the videophone screen to the playback screen in response to the playback instruction described above, and changes from the main area ma of the playback screen to the spare area sa as the display destination of the partner video (step S17 in FIG. 6). That is, after the received partner video (real-time video) is displayed and output in the spare area sa of the playback screen, the operation of playing back and displaying the recorded video read from the head of the recording memo 20a in the main area ma of the playback screen is started. (Step S18). As a result, the playback video is displayed in the main area ma of the playback screen instead of the partner video. In addition, while continuing to record the received partner video, the recorded content is played back and displayed in parallel. For example, the playback speed is set to a high speed such as 1.3, 1.5, or 2 times the recording speed. By doing so, “chasing playback” is performed in which the playback position follows the recording position.

  Then, the CPU 11 calculates an elapsed time from the start of the call (at the start of recording) until the video is recorded, and displays the elapsed time in a corner of the playback video (step S19). In this case, the elapsed time from the start of the call (at the start of recording) is calculated in consideration of the recording position and recording speed of the video with reference to the start of the call (at the start of recording). Note that the reproduction in this case is video reproduction, and the audio output remains the current call (live audio). During such chasing playback operation, if the “end” icon is selected and designated to end playback (YES in step S23), the playback operation ends and the screen is switched from the playback screen to the videophone screen. After that (step S33), the process returns to step S9 in FIG.

  Also, during the chasing playback operation, any of the “fast forward”, “rewind”, “pause”, and “confirm” icons on the playback screen can be selected from “fast forward”, “rewind”, and “pause”. When a reproduction control instruction is received by selecting and designating that icon (YES in step S20), fast-forwarding processing, rewinding processing, and pause processing are executed as reproduction control corresponding to this icon (step S20). S21), the process returns to step S20. If you can go back to the desired recording position by appropriately operating these “fast forward”, “rewind”, and “pause”, that is, in the above shopping example, If “That” is found, the user (the person who requested the shopping) will select “Confirm” on the playback screen to designate the currently displayed playback video as a common verification video to confirm with the other party. Icon.

When the confirmation video is designated by this (YES in step S22), the designated position is written in the recording memory 14a as the start position of the confirmation video (step S24), and the reproduced video from the designated position is self-video (monitor video). ) Is started instead of transmitting to the partner terminal (step S25). In this case, a playback video to which an elapsed time from the start of a call (at the start of recording) until the video is recorded is transmitted as a common confirmation video to the partner terminal.
FIG. 8 is a display example (video in the store) in the case of the shopping example described above, which is a display example of the playback screen on the own side and the videophone screen on the other side after the designation of the confirmation video. In the main area ma of both screens, a common confirmation video (reproduction video: video of the fish counter) is displayed. In this case, a self-video (monitor video: vegetable section video) is displayed in the spare area sa on the other party's videophone screen, and the other video (real-time video: vegetable) is displayed in the spare area sa on the playback screen on the other side. Sales floor image) and self-image (monitor image: own face image) are displayed.

  In the state where the common confirmation video is displayed as described above, when “fast forward”, “rewind”, and “pause” are instructed in the playback screen (step S26), playback control corresponding to the icon is performed. A fast-forward process, a rewind process, and a pause process are performed (step S27). Even in this case, the reproduced video (common confirmation video) is continuously sent to the partner terminal. Here, when the end of playback is instructed (YES in step S28), the playback operation is ended (step S29), and the end position is written in the recording memory 20a as the end position of the confirmation video (step S30). Further, the CPU 11 switches from the playback screen to the videophone screen, starts transmitting a self-video (monitor video) instead of the above-mentioned common confirmation video (step S31), and receives the received partner video (real-time video) as its main video. After displaying in the area ma (step S32), the process returns to step S9 in FIG.

  Now, when the CPU 11 detects an on-hook operation (YES in step S9), it cuts off the call (step S11), ends the operation of the camera imaging unit 7, turns off the camera monitor, and turns off the voice microphone 18. (Step S12), the partner video recording operation is terminated (Step S13). Then, the contents of the recording memory 20a are checked, and it is checked whether or not the confirmation video has been designated based on whether or not the start position and end position of the confirmation video described above are written (step S14). If the confirmation video is not designated, the entire contents of the recording memory 14a are erased (step S16). If the confirmation video is designated, the recorded video indicated by the start position and the end position is used as the confirmation video. At the same time, the confirmation video is sent to the storage unit 12 or the recording medium 13 for storage (step S15), and then the entire contents of the recording memory 14a are deleted (step S16).

  As described above, in this embodiment, the CPU 11 sequentially receives the real-time video captured by the partner terminal and displays it on the videophone screen of the main display unit 4 in the recording memory 20a. In addition to recording, when a playback instruction is received while connected to the other terminal, the recorded content is read and displayed for playback, and when any video is specified from this playback video, Can be transmitted to the other terminal as a common confirmation video to be displayed, so that the other party can communicate with each other while confirming each other's video recorded during videophone communication. Smooth and prompt communication support can be realized, and communication can be facilitated as in the case of shopping described above. Also, such as will be able to ask the shopping comfortably.

In this case, when the recorded content is reproduced and displayed, the recorded content is switched and displayed in the main area ma of the videophone screen as a substitute for the partner video, so even if it is a small screen such as a mobile phone device. It can be used effectively.
In addition, when transmitting the common confirmation video to the partner terminal, the common confirmation video is transmitted as a substitute for the self-video. Therefore, it is possible to transmit the common confirmation video using the current communication method as it is. Become.

  The playback video is displayed with the elapsed time from the start of communication connected to the other party's terminal or the start of recording of the other party's video to the recording of the video. Since the added reproduced video is transmitted to the partner terminal as a common confirmation video, it is possible to easily grasp the time of the scene with reference to the start of communication or the start of recording.

When the CPU 11 detects an on-hook operation, the CPU 11 stops the recording operation and deletes the recording contents during the communication connection, so that the recording memory 20a can be saved. In this case, since the common confirmation video is saved and all other videos are deleted from the recorded contents during communication connection, only the necessary video can be automatically saved.
In addition, when an instruction to end recording confirmation is received during playback, the other party's video is displayed in place of the common confirmation video that is being played back, and the self video is sent to the other terminal instead of this common confirmation video. Thus, after the confirmation is completed, the screen content can be immediately restored to the original state (the state of the normal videophone screen).

  In the above-described embodiment, when the common confirmation video is transmitted to the partner terminal, the common confirmation video is transmitted as a substitute for the self video (monitor video). However, the common confirmation video is attached to the monitor video. You may make it synthesize | combine and transmit. For example, the common confirmation video may be synthesized with one corner of the monitor video, or conversely, the monitor video may be synthesized with one corner of the common confirmation video, and this synthesized video may be transmitted to the counterpart terminal. In this case, the self-video and the common confirmation video may be transmitted in a time division manner, and the self-video and the common confirmation video may be combined and displayed on the partner terminal side that has received the video. In this way, if the composite image of the monitor image and the common confirmation image is transmitted, or if the self image and the common confirmation image are transmitted in time division, both images are transmitted using the current communication method as it is. It becomes possible to do.

  In the above-described embodiment, when a recorded content is displayed for playback, an elapsed time from the start of a call (at the start of recording) to the recording of the video is added to the playback video to indicate what time the scene is. However, at the time of recording, the current time is acquired as the recording time of the video, and is embedded and synthesized in the video, or the video with the recording time is transmitted to the partner terminal as a common confirmation video. May be. That is, it is only necessary to be able to easily identify what time the scene is, and it is only necessary to be able to guide and display the number of minutes before and the number of seconds before the current time. Moreover, not only time display but you may make it alert | report by audio | voice output.

  Further, in the above shopping example, the requester side receives and records the in-store video from the requestee side, and the requester side uses the video arbitrarily designated at the time of reproduction display of the recorded content as a common confirmation video. However, a video arbitrarily designated between the requester side and the requestee side may be transmitted bi-directionally as a common confirmation video. In addition, it is not limited to shopping examples, and can be used for meetings using videophones. For example, even if the material provided just before is missed, all participants can use the material. Playback can be confirmed.

  In the above-described embodiments, the case where communication is performed between mobile phone devices with a videophone function has been illustrated, but even a mobile terminal device such as a PDA, an electronic camera, an electronic wristwatch, and a video player with a videophone function may be used. The present invention can be similarly applied, and is not limited to a mobile terminal device, and may be a PC with a videophone function or a fixed telephone.
