Abstract
A method and an apparatus perform a video call service. A transmission communication device provides information on a rotation angle of a video call image transmitted during a video call to a reception communication device corresponding to a counterpart of the video call. Then, the reception communication device renders the received video call image by using the information on the rotation angle of the received video call image, and displays a rendered video call image. Accordingly, an image of a counterpart of the video call can be normally provided during the video call.
Claims20
A method for providing a video call service by a first communication device, the method comprising:
- connecting a video call with a second communication device;
- receiving rotation angle information of a video call image transmitted from the second communication device;
- detecting a rotation angle of the first communication device, based on a reference position of the first communication device;
- identifying a rendering angle of the video call image by using the rotation angle information and the rotation angle of the first communication device;
- rotating the video call image by the rendering angle;
- and
- displaying, by the first communication device, the rotated video call image.
An apparatus for providing a video call service with an first communication device, the apparatus comprising:
- with a video call to a second communication device, receiving rotation angle information of a video call image transmitted from the second communication device, detecting a rotation angle of the first communication device, based on a reference position of the first communication device, identifying a rendering angle of the video call image by using the rotation angle information and the rotation angle of the first communication device, and setting the rendering angle
- an image processor for rotating the video call image by the rendering angle;
- and
- a display screen for displaying the rotated video call image.
