Next, the video call method of the present invention performed by the mobile terminal will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to the contents described below, it should be noted that it can be applied to various embodiments based on the following embodiments.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a video call method in a portable terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 and 2, when a video call event occurs (step 201), the controller checks whether the function of the present invention is activated (step 203, step 205). That is, it is possible to check whether or not to activate the text mode function provided by converting the voice data during the video call into text data.

Next, when the controller recognizes that the text mode function is activated, the controller may notify the user of information on the set mode (text mode) (step 207). That is, the controller may notify that the text mode is set through an audio signal, a screen signal, or a combination thereof. The audio signal may include a voice signal, a beep sound, and the screen signal may include a message provided in a popup form.

Next, the controller notifies whether the text mode function is activated and then checks whether there is a mode switch request (step 209). If there is a mode switch request, the controller switches the text mode to the voice mode and processes a general video call in the voice mode (step 219). On the other hand, if there is no mode change request, the controller processes the video call in the text mode (step 211).

First, the control unit converts the received voice data from the counterpart mobile terminal into text data during the video call in the text mode (step 213), and then outputs the converted text data according to the set output method (step 215). ). In this case, the text data conversion may be performed using a text data conversion function after buffering the received voice data. Alternatively, the received voice data may be directly converted by the text data conversion function.

In addition, the output of the character data may be provided in various ways according to a setting method, which will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 4b to be described later.

Next, when the controller detects the mode switch request during the video call in the above-described text mode (step 217), the controller may switch the text mode to the voice mode and process the video call in the voice mode ( Step 219). When the video call is terminated by the user or the mobile terminal (step 221), the controller terminates the above-described operation. In addition, when the termination is not completed, the controller may perform a corresponding operation corresponding to the text mode or the voice mode (step 223). In this case, it is also possible to maintain the mode used at the end time and to apply the initial mode when the next video call event occurs.

On the other hand, if it is recognized in step 205 that the text mode function is deactivated, the user may be notified of information on the set mode (voice mode) (step 231). In other words, the controller may notify that the voice mode is set through an audio signal, a screen signal, or a combination thereof.

Next, the controller notifies the voice mode and checks whether there is a mode switch request (step 233). If there is a mode change request, the controller switches the voice mode to the text mode (step 237) and proceeds to step 211 to process the video call in the text mode. On the other hand, if there is no mode switch request, the controller processes the video call in the voice mode (step 235).

Meanwhile, although omitted in FIG. 2, the present invention provides the output of the received voice data along with the text data or removes the output of the received voice data according to a setting method when controlling a video call in the text mode. Only character data can be provided.

3 to 4B, the controller may first check an output method set before outputting the text data (step 301).

First, if it is recognized in step 301 that the preset output method is a pop-up method, the controller generates a pop-up frame (step 303). The controller outputs the character data converted in the above-described step through the pop-up frame (step 305). In this case, the pop-up frame and text data output may be displayed for a predetermined set time, and the display may be removed from the screen when the set time expires. Also, the pop-up frame and / or text data may be updated correspondingly when the next text data is provided. An example of such a screen is shown in FIG. 4A.

As shown in FIG. 4A, reference numeral 410 represents an example of the pop-up frame, and may output text data (eg, “Hello”) obtained by converting received voice data through the pop-up frame 410. The pop-up frame 410 may be set in various pop-up shapes, such as a circle and a rectangle, and in particular, may be provided in the form of a speech bubble.

It may be provided reduced. In addition, the pop-up frame 410 may be automatically generated on one side of the screen by an application such as a face recognition technology so as not to overlap with the image data transmitted from the relative mobile terminal on the screen. In addition, the pop-up frame 410 may recognize the image data by using the above-described face recognition technology, and may be displayed in close proximity to the user's face of the image data. The pop-up frame 410 may be processed in a transparent manner and provided in the form of an overlay on the frame of the image data, so as to secure a time for the image data.

Next, if it is recognized in step 301 that the preset output method is a general method, the controller generates a text input frame (step 313). The controller outputs the character data converted in the above-described step through the character input frame (step 315). In this case, the text input frame and the text data output may be displayed for a predetermined set time, and the display may be removed from the screen when the set time expires. Also, the text input frame and / or text data may be updated correspondingly when the next text data is provided. An example of such a screen is shown in FIG. 4B.

As illustrated in FIG. 4B, reference numeral 430 denotes an example of the text input frame, and may output text data (eg, “Hello”) obtained by converting received voice data through the text input frame 430. have. The text input frame 430 may be fixed because the displayed size is set as a default value, and the size of the text input frame 430 is automatically adjusted according to the size (number of characters, capacity, etc.) of the output text data. It may be provided in an enlarged / reduced manner. In addition, the character input frame 430 may be displayed on any one of the top, bottom, left and right of the screen.

On the other hand, as described above, in the embodiment of the present invention has been described with the video call method according to the text mode and voice mode, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is a matter of course that the video call can be provided by simultaneously supporting the text mode and the voice mode and providing the voice data and the text data according to the setting method. In this case, the controller may provide the image data and the audio data transmitted from the counterpart portable terminal through the display unit and the speaker, and convert the voice data into text data and provide the image data to the display unit together with the image data.

In addition, the embodiment of the present invention has been described with respect to the video call method through the text mode according to whether the function of the present invention is activated. In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the controller may adaptively control the switching between the text mode and the voice mode in response to the surrounding environment to provide a video call. For example, the controller may automatically control the video call mode to the text mode when it determines that the surrounding environment is external, and automatically control the video call mode to the voice mode when it determines that it is internal. This determination may be made through measurement of ambient noise, ambient brightness, and the like. To this end, the mobile terminal of the present invention may further include a sensor for measuring noise or measuring brightness.

In addition, the embodiment of the present invention may further include a function of notifying the counterpart portable terminal of the mode information set in the portable terminal or the mode information changed by the mode switching when the video call is performed.
