Abstract
A device and method process voice communication service. A mobile terminal device of the present disclosure includes a microphone arranged at one end of a body of the device; a speaker arranged close to the microphone; a transceiver arranged at the other end of the body; a codec including a coder connected to the microphone, a decoder connected to the speaker, and a switch of which one node is connected to one of the coder and the decoder selectively and the other node is connected to the transceiver; and a communication controller which controls the switch to establish a path between the coder and the transceiver and enables the speaker in speakerphone mode.
Claims20
A mobile terminal device comprising:
- a first microphone arranged at one end of a body of the device;
- a first speaker arranged in proximity to the first microphone;
- a transceiver arranged at another end of the body, the transceiver comprising a second speaker and a second microphone;
- a codec including a coder connected to the first microphone, a decoder connected to the first speaker, and a switch of which one node is connected to one of the coder and the decoder selectively and another node is connected to the transceiver;
- and
- a communication controller configured to control the switch to establish a path between the coder and the second microphone of the transceiver, enable the first speaker, and disable the first microphone, in a speakerphone mode.
A communication service method of a mobile terminal, comprising:
- identifying a current voice communication mode;
- establishing, when the current voice communication mode is speakerphone mode, an outgoing voice path between a coder and a second microphone of a transceiver and an incoming voice path to a first speaker;
- and
- processing signals in speakerphone mode,
- wherein the first microphone and the first speaker are arranged in proximity to each other, the transceiver is arranged at another end of the body, and the mobile terminal further includes the coder connected to the first microphone, a decoder connected to the first speaker, and a switch of which one node is connected to one of the coder and the decoder selectively and another node is connected to the transceiver, and
- wherein, in a speakerphone mode, the path between the coder and the second microphone of the transceiver is established, the first speaker is enabled, and the first microphone is disabled.
A mobile terminal device comprising:
- a first microphone positioned at a first end of a body of the mobile terminal device;
- a first speaker positioned in proximity to the first microphone;
- a transceiver positioned at a second end of the body, the transceiver comprising a second speaker and a second microphone;
- a codec including a coder operably connected to the first microphone, a decoder operably connected to the first speaker, and a switch including a first node operably connected to one of the coder and the decoder selectively and a second node operably connected to the transceiver;
- and
- a controller configured to control the switch to establish a path between the transceiver and one of the coder and the decoder to enable a communication mode of the mobile terminal device, wherein, in a speakerphone mode, the path between the coder and the second microphone of the transceiver is established, the first speaker is enabled, and the first microphone is disabled.
