Abstract
A system for forming and transmitting a plurality of video images, at an image transmission rate of at least 1-3 images per sec, from a first cell phone to a second cell phone spaced apart from the first cell phone.

Claims19
A method, comprising:
- capturing facial data associated with a user of a first electronic device, wherein the capturing of the facial data includes receiving image data through a lens of the first electronic device as it operates in a first position;
- capturing audio data at the first electronic device;
- receiving a signal from a keyboard of the first electronic device, wherein at least a portion of the facial data is to be provided with the signal and with the audio data to form an output signal;
- and
- communicating the output signal to a second electronic device.
2 more elements
An electronic device, comprising:
- a keyboard;
- a retroreflector;
- an antenna;
- a processing module;
- and
- a lens, wherein the electronic device is configured to:
- capture facial data associated with a user of the electronic device when the electronic device is in a first position;
- capture image data associated with an object adjacent to the user when the electronic device is in a second position;
- capture audio data at the electronic device, wherein the image data is transmitted at a rate slower than a rate at which the audio data is transmitted;
- receive a signal from a keyboard of the electronic device, wherein at least a portion of the facial data is to be provided with the signal and with the audio data to form an output signal;
- and
- communicate the output signal to a next destination.
