Method and apparatus for controlling image data in a wireless terminal with normal video communication mode and image mute mode

摘要

A method and apparatus for controlling image data in a wireless terminal having a normal video communication mode and a video mute mode is provided. The wireless terminal can be switched to the video mute mode if a user selects the video mute mode during normal video communication mode, thereby enabling image data preselected by the user to be presented on the terminal's display and transmitted to a distant party. The terminal can also display and transmit preselected image data if no video data is received from a distant party within a given time.
