METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMAGE CAPTURE, COMPRESSION AND TRANSMISSION OVER A TELEPHONIC OR RADIO TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

摘要

An image capture (76), conversion (72), compression (82), storage (78) and transmission system provides a data signal representing the image in a format and protocol capable of being transmitted over any of a plurality of readily available transmission systems (86) and received by readily available, standard equipment receiving stations. The system is adapted to be installed in a standard cellular phone configuration (10), providing a portable hand held wireless transmission system for transmitting video image signals to a remote receiving station.
