ABSTRACT:
A personal data communication apparatus that provides a camera, a magnified image in a display and a video telecommunication system within a compact handset housing is disclosed. The personal data communication apparatus can include a memory that stores image information from the camera converted into an electrical signal as data. A transmission controlling part accesses the data stored in the memory and transmits to a radio public telecommunication network in response to a user signal requesting a video communication and displays the image information received as an image signal from the public telecommunication network. The personal data communications apparatus can further include a receiver receiving a voice, a viewfinder type display adapted to magnify the image information, a speaker for transmitting a voice and a system driving part for entering system operation control signals by the user. The camera is a compact design using a diffractive optic system to be mounted within a housing. The housing preferably encompasses the personal data communications apparatus with the speaker rotatably attached to an upper portion of the housing to protect the camera in a closed position and the receiver rotatably attached to a lower portion of the housing to protect the display in a closed position.
