Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'entrée d'image permettant de créer facilement une image et de l'introduire dans un téléphone portable. Le dispositif d'entrée d'image (10) comporte un écran (20), une première caméra de prise de vue (22) pour photographier un client, et une seconde caméra de prise de vue (26) pour photographier un objet détenu par le client. Un circuit de commande (54) du dispositif d'entrée d'image (10) importe l'image numérisée dans l'image du client prise par la première caméra de prise de vue (22), crée des données texte à ajouter à un message libre à afficher sur l'image numérisée. Ce circuit importe ensuite sur le téléphone portable (42) ces données dans une image de synthèse résultant de la combinaison entre, d'une part la première image numérisée telle que prise par la première caméra de prise de vue (22), et d'autre part la seconde image numérisée telle que prise par la seconde caméra de prise de vue (26). L'utilisateur peut importer l'image numérisée dans l'image originale et dans les données texte que seul le client peut faire entrer dans le téléphone portable (42), ce qui permet de personnaliser son téléphone portable.
