Abstract
A mobile telephony system comprising a calling party mobile telephone with an imaging system and a display. The imaging system is operable to capture an image of the calling party. The calling party mobile telephone sends an image of the calling party to a called party mobile telephone over a wireless link, and the called party mobile telephone locally generates a holographic reconstruction of the calling party using a holographic display that is encoded with a hologram. An advantage is that a mobile telephone call may be held in which one party views a holographic reconstruction of the other party.
Claims20
A mobile telephony system comprising a calling party mobile telephone with an imaging system and a display, the imaging system operable to capture an image of the calling party, in which the calling party mobile telephone sends an image of the calling party to a called party mobile telephone over a wireless link, and the called party mobile telephone locally generates a holographic reconstruction of the calling party using a holographic display that is encoded with a computer generated hologram, wherein data processing for three dimensional image display is performed at an intermediate system located on a transmission network between the calling party and called party mobile telephones, the intermediate system including a computer for performing calculations to enable the display of three dimensional computer generated holograms.
A method of providing telecommunications services in which a network operator provides calling party and/or called party mobile telephones, a wireless link and a remote server and where the calling party mobile telephone is provided with an imaging system and a display, the imaging system operable to capture an image of the calling party, in which the calling party mobile telephone sends an image of the calling party to a called party mobile telephone over the wireless link, and the called party mobile telephone locally generates a holographic reconstruction of the calling party using a holographic display that is encoded with a computer generated hologram, wherein data processing for three dimensional image display is performed at the remote server located on a transmission network between the calling party and called party mobile telephones, the remote server including a computer for performing calculations to enable the display of three dimensional computer generated holograms.
A method of making a video call from a calling party mobile telephone with an imaging system and a display, the imaging system operable to capture an image of a calling party, in which the calling party mobile telephone sends an image of the calling party to a called party mobile telephone, which locally generates a holographic reconstruction of the calling party using a holographic display that is encoded with a computer generated hologram, wherein data processing for three dimensional image display is performed at an intermediate system located on a transmission network between the calling party and called party mobile telephones, the intermediate system including a computer for performing calculations to enable the display of three dimensional computer generated holograms.
