Abstract
Provided is an operation method for a terminal performing a call. A first terminal may receive a first like signal transmitted from a second terminal to a server, and may transmit, to the server, a second like signal regarding a second user of the second terminal. At this time, the first terminal may receive a signal for establishing a call connection between the first terminal and the second terminal, and may perform a call with the second terminal based on the signal.
Claims20
An operation method of a first terminal, the operation method comprising:
- receiving a first like signal, regarding a first user of the first terminal, transmitted from a second terminal to a server;
- transmitting a second like signal regarding a second user of the second terminal to the server;
- receiving a signal for establishing a call connection between the first terminal and the second terminal from the server;
- performing a preliminary call with the second terminal based on the signal, wherein, while the preliminary call is in progress, an image of the second user of the second terminal is shown on a display of the first terminal;
- and
- after the preliminary call is terminated:
- outputting a message window on the first terminal, wherein the message window requests a primary response to the preliminary call;
- transmitting the primary response to the server;
- and
- determining whether to proceed with performing a main call, wherein the main call is based at least in part on:
- the primary response to the preliminary call;
- and
- a secondary response transmitted from the second terminal to the server.
A first terminal comprising:
- a communication unit configured to:
- receive a first like signal transmitted from a second terminal to a server;
- transmit a second like signal regarding a second user of the second terminal to the server;
- and
- receive a signal for establishing a call connection between the first terminal and the second terminal;
- and
- a control unit configured to:
- perform a preliminary call with the second terminal based on the signal, wherein, during the preliminary call, a camera of the first terminal is activated in order to capture video of the second user of the second terminal;
- and
- after the preliminary call is terminated:
- output a message window on the first terminal, wherein the message window requests a primary response to the preliminary call;
- transmit the primary response to the server;
- and
- determine whether to proceed with performing a main call, wherein the main call is based at least in part on:
- the primary response to the preliminary call;
- and
- a secondary response transmitted from the second terminal to the server.
An operation method of a server, the operation method comprising:
- receiving, from a second terminal, a first like signal regarding a first user of a first terminal;
- receiving, from the first terminal, a second like signal regarding a second user of the second terminal;
- transmitting a signal for establishing a call connection between the first terminal and the second terminal to at least one of the first terminal and the second terminal;
- relaying a preliminary call between the first terminal and the second terminal based on the signal;
- receiving, during the preliminary call, an image of the second user of the second terminal;
- and
- receiving, after the preliminary call is terminated:
- a primary response to the preliminary call from the first terminal;
- and
- a secondary response to the preliminary call from the second terminal;
- and
- depending on the primary response and the secondary response, relaying a main call.
