Abstract
Provided are methods, apparatuses and a system for synchronizing call media and content. In a process of playing call media to a user and displaying content associated with the call media, a terminal acquires new call media from a call media server and acquires, after querying a synchronization server for content information corresponding to the new call media, content associated with the new call media from a content server, respectively, in response to a user operation. The terminal plays the new call media to the user, and displays the content associated with the new call media simultaneously.
Claims7
A method for synchronizing call media and content, comprising:
- in a process of playing call media to a user and displaying content associated with the call media, acquiring, by a terminal, new call media from a call media server and acquiring, by the terminal after querying a synchronization server for content information corresponding to the new call media, content associated with the new call media from a content server, respectively, in response to a user operation;
- and
- playing, by the terminal, the new call media to the user and displaying, by the terminal, the content associated with the new call media simultaneously;
- wherein acquiring, by the terminal after querying the synchronization server for the content information corresponding to the new call media, the content associated with the new call media from the content server comprises:
- querying, by the terminal, the synchronization server for the content information corresponding to the new call media, wherein the synchronization server is arranged to store and provide a correspondence between call media and content associated with the call media;
- sending, by the terminal, an instruction for acquiring the content associated with the new call media to the content server according to the content information returned by the synchronization server;
- and receiving, by the terminal, the content that is associated with the new call media and returned by the content server according to the instruction;
- or,
- querying, by the terminal, the synchronization server for the content information corresponding to the new call media, wherein the synchronization server is arranged to store and provide a correspondence between call media and content associated with the call media;
- and receiving, by the terminal, the content that is associated with the new call media and returned by the content server, wherein the content associated with the new call media is pushed by the content server upon reception of a notification, which is sent to the content server by the synchronization server after finding the content information and sending the content information to the content server.
7 more elements
An apparatus for synchronizing call media and content, comprising a hardware processor arranged to execute program modules comprising:
- a call module, arranged to acquire, in a process of playing call media to a user, new call media from a call media server in response to a user operation;
- a synchronization module, arranged to query a synchronization server for content information corresponding to the new call media;
- and
- a content module, arranged to acquire, in a process of displaying content associated with the call media to the user, content associated with the new call media from a content server according to the content information acquired by the synchronization module;
- wherein the synchronization module comprises:
- a query unit, arranged to query the synchronization server for the content information corresponding to the new call media, wherein the synchronization server is arranged to store and provide a correspondence between call media and content associated with the call media;
- and
- an informing unit, arranged to inform the content module of the acquired content information;
- wherein the content module comprises:
- a sending unit, arranged to send an instruction for acquiring the content associated with the new call media to the content server according to the content information informed by the synchronization module;
- a second receiving unit, arranged to receive the content that is associated with the new call media and returned by the content server according to the instruction;
- and
- a displaying unit, arranged to display the content associated with the call media to the user and display the content associated with the new call media to the user.
