Status prompt multimedia playing method and system, and apparatus

A status prompt multimedia playing method, comprising:

• receiving, by a status prompt application server and from a telephony application server, a query requesting whether a called party of a called terminal device has customized status prompt multimedia;
• sending, by the status prompt application server and to the telephony application server, a query result indicating that the called party of the called terminal device has customized status prompt multimedia;
• receiving, by the status prompt application server, a first multimedia request sent by the telephony application server, wherein the first multimedia request comprises a non-idle identifier, and wherein the first multimedia request is sent based on a determining result that the called terminal device is in the non-idle state and the query result indicating that the called party of the called terminal device has customized status prompt multimedia;
• implementing, by the status prompt application server in response to the first multimedia request carrying the non-idle identifier, multimedia capability negotiation with a calling terminal device;
• and
• playing, by the status prompt application server, status prompt multimedia corresponding to the non-idle identifier for the calling terminal device.

A telephony application server, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• one or more memories coupled to the at least one processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to:
• receive a call request sent by a calling terminal device to a called terminal device;
• receive a call busy message, a call waiting message, or a call hold message sent by the called terminal device, and determining, based on the call busy message or the call waiting message, that the called terminal device is in a non-idle state;
• querying a status prompt application sever to determine that a called party of the called terminal device has customized status prompt multimedia;
• and
• send, based on the determining that the called terminal device is in the non-idle state and the determining that the called party of the called terminal device has customized status prompt multimedia, a first multimedia request to a status prompt application server to implement multimedia capability negotiation between the status prompt application server and the calling terminal device, wherein the first multimedia request causes the status prompt application server to play the status prompt multimedia for the calling terminal device.
