Abstract(in English) Recently, a mobile phone with a videophone function has been put on sale. This kind of mobile phones will be used for signed language distant conversation. The use situation causes certain restriction on signing, because a user has to use one hand to hold the mobile videophone. Deaf people cope with the similar situation in every day life. In this report, we make two experiments: one-handed signing expression experiment in which a signer is asked to express with the use of only one hand (skillful hand); and perception experiment that measures how well a receiver can understand one-handed signing expressions. The results show the possibility of one-handed signed language communication. We also show certain issues to be considered in developing mobile videophones for signed language conversation.
