According to the above configuration, the operation of a mobile phone device having a function of providing video information of a receiver and a sender according to an embodiment of the present invention and a control method thereof are as follows.

1. When calling

When the user opens the mobile phone to make a call, the operation procedure programmed and stored in the memory 30 is executed by the control unit 20 to start the transmission operation (S10).

When the transmission operation is started, the controller 20 determines whether the user wants to check a list of pictures of the recipient stored in the memory 30 in the mobile phone from the signal input through the keypad 10 (S20). In the picture list of the recipient, the user takes a picture of the receiver in advance, converts it into an electronic file, and stores it in the memory 30 of the mobile phone together with the corresponding telephone number data.

When the user wants to check the list of the picture of the recipient stored in the memory 30 in the mobile phone, the control unit 20 displays the list of the recipient picture and the corresponding telephone number stored in the memory 30 in the mobile phone. 60 is displayed together on the screen (S30).

Subsequently, the controller 20 selects one of the recipient picture lists from the signal input by the user using the keypad 10 (S40).

However, when the user does not want to check the picture list of the recipient stored in the memory 30 in the mobile phone, the control unit 20 receives the receiver's telephone number through the keypad 10 from the user (S50).

Next, the control unit 20 determines whether the user wants to make a call (S60), and when the user wants to make a call, generates an outgoing ring tone (S70), and together with the outgoing ring tone, the caller's video information. The related data is read from the memory 30 and transmitted to the base station using the communication unit 40 (S80). The data of the caller's video information is stored in the memory 30 of the mobile phone by converting the user's picture into an electronic file in advance.

Subsequently, when the phone is connected to the receiver through the base station, the user makes a call using the handset 50 (S90) and ends the operation (S100).

2. Upon reception

When the user opens the mobile phone to receive a call by ringing the phone signal to the mobile phone, an operation procedure programmed and stored in the memory 30 is executed by the control unit 20 to start the receiving operation (S110).

When the operation is started, the control unit 20 receives the data transmitted from the caller through the communication unit 40 (S120) and analyzes it to determine whether the caller's image information is included in the data received from the caller. (S130).

If the caller's video information is not included in the data received from the caller, the controller 20 determines whether the caller's video information is stored in advance in the memory 30 of the mobile phone (S140). In this way, the video information of the caller, which is stored in advance in the memory 30 of the mobile phone, is used as the recipient list (as mentioned above) used when the user makes a call.

If the caller's video information is included in the data received from the caller, or if the caller's video information is stored in advance in the memory 30 of the mobile phone, the control unit 20 displays the caller on the screen of the display unit 60. By displaying the video information and the caller's phone number so that the user can know who the caller is (S150).

On the other hand, when the data received from the caller does not include the caller's video information, and the caller's video information is not stored in the memory 30 of the mobile phone, the control unit 20 displays the display unit 60. By displaying only the caller's telephone number, the user can know who the caller is (S160).

Next, the controller 20 determines whether the user wants to answer a call from a signal input through the keypad 10 (S170).

When the user wants to answer the call, the control unit 20 is to be connected to the caller through the base station, the user makes a call using the handset 50 (S180), after the call ends the operation ends (S190).

As described in the above embodiments, the present invention can provide video information for the receiver in the case of the sender, and improve the convenience of use by providing video information for the caller in the case of the receiver. .
