Abstract:
1. An information processing device comprising: a communication unit conducting a videophone call by sending and receiving sound and image data; a memory storing a telephone directory which registers at least each individual telephone number and is capable of registering a portrait image associated with the individual telephone number; a portrait image registration determination unit determining whether or not a portrait image of calling party is registered in the telephone directory by referring to the telephone directory based on a telephone number of calling party when outgoing or incoming of a call by the videophone function; a portrait image capturing unit capturing a one-frame, still portrait image from a moving image received from a calling party as a calling party portrait image if the portrait image registration determination unit determines that the portrait image of the calling party is not registered in the telephone directory; a portrait image automatic registration unit automatically registering in the memory the portrait image captured by the portrait image capturing unit as the calling party portrait image; a multiple portrait image registration setting unit providing multiple portrait image registration setting information indicating whether registration of multiple portrait images is allowed; a multiple registration determination unit determining whether registration of multiple portrait images is allowed to the calling party based on the multiple portrait image registration setting information; a display control unit outputting the registered multiple portrait images to a display unit while switching among the multiple portrait images at a predetermined interval when the telephone directory registers a plurality of portrait images of a calling party in the telephone directory, during a call-out process by the videophone function, wherein, if the multiple registration determination unit determines that registration of multiple portrait images is allowed and if the portrait image registration determination unit determines that an additional one-frame, still portrait image from an additional moving image of the calling party is not registered, then the portrait image capturing unit captures the additional one-frame, still portrait image received from the calling party for registration of the additional one-frame, still portrait image so as to constitute registered multiple portrait images, wherein the capturing unit captures the calling party portrait image at a lapse of a predetermined time from a start of call.
