Telephony device, base station device and communication method

A telephony device comprising

• an image display unit operable to display, before an off-hook state, information based on multimedia information transmitted by a transmission source telephony device.

A telephony device comprising

• a transmission unit operable to transmit, before a transmission source telephony device is in an off-hook state, image expressing transmission source information.

A telephony device for transmitting an image based on received information to a transmission destination telephony device via a base station device to communicate with the transmission destination telephony device, said telephony device comprising

• a transmission unit operable to transmit, before the transmission destination telephony device is in an off-hook state, transmission source information to the base station device,
• wherein the base station device acquires said image based on the received information.

A telephony device comprising

• an image display unit operable to display, before an off-hook state, image expressing transmission source information transmitted by a transmission source telephony device.

A telephony device comprising

• an image display unit operable to display, before an off-hook state, an image acquired by a base station device relaying communications between a transmission source telephony device and said telephony device,
• wherein the base station acquires the image based on transmission source information.

A telephony device comprising:

• a first image generating unit operable to generate an image based on transmission source information transmitted by a transmission source telephony device;
• and
• an image display unit operable to display the image before said image display unit is in an off-hook state.

A telephony device comprising

• a transmission unit operable to transmit, before a transmission destination telephony device is in an off-hook state, sound signals expressing transmission source information.

A telephony device for transmitting sound signals based on received information to a transmission destination telephony device via a base station device to communicate with the transmission destination telephony device, said telephony device comprising

• a transmission unit operable to transmit, before the transmission destination telephony device is in an off-hook state, transmission source information to the base station device,
• wherein the base station device acquires the sound signals based on the transmission source information.

A base station device comprising:

• a first acquiring unit operable to acquire an image based on transmission source information transmitted by a transmission source telephony device;
• and
• a transmission unit operable to transmit, before a transmission destination telephony device is in an off-hook state, the image acquired by said first acquiring unit to the transmission destination telephony device.

A base station device comprising:

• an acquiring unit operable to acquire sound signals based on transmission source information transmitted by a transmission source telephony device;
• and
• a transmission unit operable to transmit, before an off-hook state, the sound signals to a transmission destination telephony device.

A communication method comprising

• transmitting multimedia information to a transmission destination telephony device before the transmission destination telephony device is in an off-hook state.
