Abstract
A method for performing a camera function in a mobile communication terminal. When the mobile communication terminal is switched to a camera mode in a state in which it is connected to an earphone with a predetermined key for performing call connection and termination functions, the predetermined key of the earphone is configured as a shutter key for capturing an image. When a signal of the predetermined key processed as the shutter key is input from the earphone, the image is captured. A clearer image can be captured without blur when the call connection and termination key serves as the shutter key in an earphone or a wireless headset connected to the mobile communication terminal, rather than the shutter key provided in the conventional mobile communication terminal.
Claims4
A method for performing a camera function in a mobile communication terminal, comprising the steps of:
- configuring a predetermined key of an earphone as a shutter key for capturing an image, when the mobile communication terminal is switched to a camera mode in a state in which the mobile communication terminal is connected to the earphone, which comprises the predetermined key for performing call connection and termination functions;
- detecting an incoming call received by the mobile communication terminal in the camera mode;
- switching the mobile communication terminal to a call mode when the incoming call is detected;
- and
- configuring the predetermined key as a call connection and termination key when the mobile communication terminal is switched to the call mode.
A method for performing a camera function in a mobile communication terminal, comprising:
- configuring a predetermined key of a wireless headset as a shutter key for capturing an image, when the mobile communication terminal for transmitting and receiving data is switched to a camera mode in a state in which it is connected to the headset, which comprises the predetermined key for performing call connection and termination functions in a wireless fashion;
- and
- capturing the image when an input signal of the predetermined key recognized as the shutter key is received from the headset.
