Abstract

In these days, mediated interpersonal communication has increased its diversity. Due to rapid development of mobile communication technology, mediated interpersonal communication with mobile phone is growing popular. Most of mobile phones are camera-equipped and e-mails with still/motion images are actively exchanged by using them. It is quite a contrast to unpopularity of fixed videophone which has similar features to mobile camera phone in terms of multimedia communication. This study intended to investigate the qualitative description of mediated interpersonal communication accompanied with some still or motion pictures by mobile camera phone. A diary survey of 25 mobile camera phone users was conducted to explore the difference of shot images in communication partners and situations. Results shows that most of shot images were not people but everyday objects and the reason of shooting and sending images was significantly different depending on their expected recipient. Based on the results, the role of image information in mediated interpersonal communication for establishing visual joint attention with their communication partner was discussed.
