Abstract

A method and apparatus allows proximity connections to an image enabled mobile terminal to exploit image capabilities of the mobile terminal. Mobile terminals (504 and 512) interact with Personal Computers (PC) (506 and 510) via Bluetooth connections (516 and 522) to transfer audio/video data as required to support specified activities. Video conferencing scenario 500 is enabled by exploiting imaging capabilities of the mobile terminals in lieu of a PC mounted camera. Other applications involve security, licensing, video enhancement, and gaming features that may be implemented with the present invention.
