Abstract
Provided is an operation method of a server for relaying a call. The server relays a preliminary call between a first terminal and a second terminal for a preset time, based on matching of a first user of the first terminal and a second user of the second terminal, and after the preset time has elapsed, receives, from the first terminal and the second terminal, a response as to whether to continue the preliminary call. The server may determine whether to proceed with a main call based on the received response.
Claims20
An operation method of a server, the operation method comprising:
- identifying whether matching between a first user of a first terminal and a second user of a second terminal is completed;
- relaying a preliminary call between the first terminal and the second terminal based on the matching, wherein the duration of the preliminary call is pre-determined to be a preset time;
- allowing conversation between the first user and the second user during the preliminary call;
- terminating the conversation of the preliminary call after the preset time elapses;
- asking each of the first terminal and the second terminal whether to proceed with a main call after the preset time has elapsed during the preliminary call;
- receiving, from each of the first terminal and the second terminal, a response as to whether to proceed with the main call after the preset time has elapsed during the preliminary call;
- determining whether to proceed with the main call, based on the response,
- wherein a first graphical user interface is displayed on a display of each of the first terminal and the second terminal during the preset time and a second graphical user interface is displayed on the display of each of the first terminal and the second terminal while the main call is in progress, and
- wherein the first graphical user interface and the second graphical user interface are different from each other;
- and
- resuming the conversation between the first user and the second user if proceeding to the main call.
8 more elements
A device for relaying a call, the device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing at least one program containing instructions that when read by the processor direct the processor to perform operations including:
- identifying whether matching between a first user of a first terminal and a second user of a second terminal is completed;
- relaying a preliminary call between the first terminal and the second terminal based on the matching, wherein the duration of the preliminary call is pre-determined to be a preset time;
- allowing conversation between the first user and the second user during the preliminary call;
- terminating the conversation of the preliminary call after the preset time elapses;
- asking each of the first terminal and the second terminal whether to proceed with a main call after the preset time has elapsed during the preliminary call;
- receiving, from each of the first terminal and the second terminal, a response as to whether to continue the main call after the preset time has elapsed during the preliminary call;
- determining whether to proceed with the main call based on the response,
- wherein a first graphical user interface is displayed on a display of each of the first terminal and the second terminal during the preset time and a second graphical user interface is displayed on the display of each of the first terminal and the second terminal while the main call is in progress, and
- wherein the first graphical user interface and the second graphical user interface are different from each other;
- and
- resuming the conversation between the first user and the second user if proceeding to the main call.
11 more elements
A first terminal comprising:
- a communication unit configured to
- receive a like signal transmitted from a second user of a second terminal to a server,
- transmit a like signal regarding the second user of the second terminal to the server, and
- receive a request for establishing a communication connection between the first terminal and the second terminal;
- and
- a control unit configured to perform a preliminary call with the second terminal, according to the request, wherein the duration of the preliminary call is pre-determined to be a preset time and the preliminary call is terminated after the preset time elapses,
- wherein the communication unit receives, from the server, a request for input as to whether to proceed with a main call with the second terminal after the preset time has elapsed,
- wherein the communication unit transmits, to the server, a response as to whether to proceed with the main call with the second terminal after the preset time has elapsed during the preliminary call,
- wherein a first graphical user interface displayed on a display during the preset time and a second graphical user interface displayed on the display while the main call is in progress, and
- wherein the first graphical user interface and the second graphical user interface are different from each other.
