Disclosed is an image communication terminal including a main processor
that controls operation in accordance with image communications, decodes
video data, and encodes images photographed through a camera, and a modem
processor that processes data in accordance with radio communications,
divides image communication data into video and audio data, and encodes
voice signals input from a microphone to combine encoded audio data with
the video data to transmit them to the communication network.
Accordingly, the utility of the main processor is increased and a
quantity of communication data between the modem processor and the main
processor is reduced. Further, voice quality is provided at an optimal
level.
