METHOD FOR FORMING AN AUDIOVISUAL CALL IDENTIFIER, A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND A CALL IDENTIFIER

摘要

In the invention, an audiovisual call identifier (200) comprising image and sound is formed for a mobile communication device (100). The call identifier is repeated on the display (102) and in the loudspeaker (104) of the communication device when a call comes in, i.e. it functions in the same way as an ordinary ring tone when it is used. The first step in the method is to take a shot comprising moving image and sound by a video camera (110). The shot taken is saved in the memory (106) of the communication device as a video clip (108) and set as a call identifier of the communication device. The video clip can be taken either by a video camera belonging to the communication device or by a separate device. The call identifier can be set as a general notification sign or it can be associated with a certain phone number or numbers (114) in the phone memo (112) of the communication device, in which case the video clip is repeated on the display and in the loudspeaker of the communication device when a call comes from the phone number(s) in question. The call identifier or a part thereof can also be used as a notification of a phone call arrived in the communication device, which has not been answered.
