Abstract:
1. A method for generating a combined signal in a mobile terminal equipped with a camera and an image codec, comprising the steps of: (a) coding each of one or more image signals captured by the camera into still pictures based upon a frame size via the image codec, inserting an image header containing image pattern information and frame size information into each of the coded image signals, and generating moving picture signals based on the coded image signals; (b) after generating the moving picture signals, generating at least one text signal; (c) combining the moving picture signals with a text signal; and (d) storing a combined signal representative of a result of the combining in a memory, wherein the step (b) comprises the steps of: (b-1) deciding maximum length of displayable text according to a playback time required for reproducing the obtained moving picture signals and displaying the reproduced moving picture signals; (b-2) generating a text header containing information indicating a size of the received text signal and a text pattern signal; and (b-3) inserting the text header into the text signal and generating the text signal having the inserted text header.
