These systems allow users to communicate using video communications. The RF module can be used to perform functions such as transmission and reception of signals, synchronization of frequencies, fundamental frequency processing, and digital signal processing. The hardware interface of the SIM card is used to accommodate a SIM card. Finally, the signals are transmitted to the final actuators, a sound input/output unit 190. If it is not a mobile phone, the above is not a necessary device.

The portable device 10 can include a digital signal processor (DSP) 120 or/and a central control unit 100, a codec (not shown), and an analog/digital converter 125. The configuration of the components depends on the application. . A display 160, an operating system (OS) 145 and a memory 155, the memory 155 includes a ROM program memory, a RAM memory, and a nonvolatile FLASH memory. All of the above units are coupled to the central control unit 100 or DSP 120, respectively. The above memory may be a micro hard disk. A wired input/output interface 150 is coupled to the central control unit 100. The wired input/output interface may be a universal serial bus (USB) or IEEE 1394.

The portable device 10 can include a second wireless data transmission module 200B. In one embodiment, it employs a wireless short-range (area) network module and is compatible with regional or metropolitan network protocols or other specifications, such as Wi-Fi specifications or 802.11x (x refers to a, b, g, n) modules with compatible specifications. Short distance means that the communication distance is shorter than the communication distance of the mobile phone. Furthermore, the wireless local area network module is compatible with WiMAX specifications or standards. The user wants to be able to couple to the internet or hotspot via WiFi or WiMax.

The image capture device 600 and the image generation module 650 are coupled to the DSP 120 or/and a central control unit 100 described above. The user image data is captured by the image capturing device 600, and then the image data is converted into digital data. The converted image data is composed or compressed or processed to form a data stream. The image is generated by the image generation module 650, which is then displayed on the display 160, such as a user's image, either immediately or in a timely manner. Based on its dynamic and timely image, it can be used by users as a virtual mirror. When the user wants to use a mirror to face, mirror or apply a lipstick, the present invention provides a convenient function to replace the mirror if there is no mirror around. Users do not need to bring a mirror to go out. The image generation module 650 can be implemented by using a software, a firmware or a computer readable command. Currently, there are various programs for generating images. Currently, there are many kinds of application software for generating images in computer technology, and currently digital cameras are also used. There are a variety of programs available for visualization. Other imaging software such as photo-impact, photoshop and other application software can produce images.

To facilitate the use of the present invention, the present invention provides a single or multiple multi-illumination sources module 700 coupled to the control unit 100 to produce a mirror image in a dim or low light environment. Thus, a selection interface 720 is coupled to the multiple illumination source module 700 to facilitate selection of modes. A photo sensor 709 is coupled to a plurality of illumination source modules 700. When the intensity of the light is less than a predetermined level, the control unit will initiate illumination for the signal detected by the light sensor 709 to provide the light required for video communication or photography. One mode of the illumination source may be a night vision mode such as an infrared (IR) mode. It can Support shooting in dark environments. The above lighting module includes an infrared device or an LED. Furthermore, the lighting module includes a xenon illumination device. For example, a gas system, a mixed gas, which is primarily nitrogen and has a specific amount of argon, helium, neon or krypton to provide a catalyst for ionizing nitrogen. The user can select the appropriate lighting according to different conditions and different purposes. In particular, the invention can be practiced in dimly lit environments.

The portable device 10 includes an image dividing unit 126 coupled to the control unit 100 for synchronously dividing the display area on the display to display images in multiples. For the method of dividing the display, reference is made to U.S. Patent Nos. 7,171,019 and 7,142,689, both to the name of U.S. Pat. Therefore, the purpose of multi-party video communication is achieved. The received image will be assigned to the divided display area on the display, and the display area can be independent (separated, overlap or partial overlap). See second figure The plurality of input images are transmitted to a multi-tasking module 500 for processing images received by the plurality of parties. The multiplex processing module 500 is coupled to the image segmentation unit 126 as shown in the second figure. Before transmitting the image data signal to the display 160, the image will be processed first by the image segmentation unit 126. The image processing unit 510 can be used to adjust the processed image prior to display.
