DEVICE AND A METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A CAMERA PHOTOGRAPHING OPERATION IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL, ESPECIALLY WITH REGARDS TO PREVENTING A MOBILE PHONE FROM BEING USED AS AN ILLEGAL HIDDEN CAMERA

摘要

PURPOSE: A device and a method for controlling a camera photographing operation in a mobile communication terminal are provided to encode an image into video data, and to insert ID information into the encoded video data, then to transmit the inserted ID information to a management server, thereby tracking a mobile communication terminal and a user. CONSTITUTION: When a camera photographing button is inputted(S10), an MSM encodes a subject image into digital video data(S11). The MSM temporarily stores watermark data inserted into the video data in a buffer memory(S13), and monitors whether a terminal is in standby mode(S14). If so, the MSM carries out a series of network access operations(15). If a connection to a management server is completed, the MSM reads the watermark data to send the data to the management server(S16), and carries out an operation requested by a user(S17). The MSM repeats the procedure until a system is terminated(S18).
