Abstract
Call processing apparatus and method in a video communication network of the present invention transmits real-time dynamic or still image data of a caller to a receiving terminal when a ring signal is generated to the receiving video terminal in the call connection between the receiving video terminal and an calling video terminal, so that the receiving terminal display the image data thereon, by which a receiver can easily identify an actual caller based upon the displayed dynamic or still image of the caller to selectively enable a call connection with the identified caller. In this fashion, the present invention can promote the convenience of users.
Claims18
A call processing method in a video communication network, comprising steps of:
- transmitting a first message from a first video terminal to a second video terminal via the video communication network, the first message containing call-related information of the first video terminal;
- transmitting a second message from the second video terminal to the first video terminal via the video communication network, the second message containing call-related information of the second video terminal;
- and
- transmitting real-time image data of a user of the first video terminal from the first video terminal to the second video terminal via the video communication network according to the call-related information of the second video terminal before call connection between the first and second video terminals.
A call processing method in a receiving video communication terminal, comprising the following steps of:
- receiving a first message from an originating video communication terminal via a video communication network, the message containing call-related information of the originating video communication terminal;
- transmitting a second message to the originating video communication terminal via the video communication network, the second message containing call-related information of the receiving video communication terminal;
- and
- receiving and displaying real-time image data of a user of the originating video communication terminal via the video communication network before call connection with the originating video communication terminal.
A call processing method in an originating video communication terminal, comprising the following steps of:
- transmitting a first message to a receiving video communication terminal via a video communication network, the first message containing call-related information of the originating video communication terminal;
- receiving a second message from the receiving video communication terminal via the video communication network, the second message containing call-related information of the receiving video communication terminal;
- and
- transmitting real-time image data of the originating video communication terminal to the receiving video communication terminal via the video communication network based upon the call-related information of the receiving video communication terminal before call connection with the receiving video communication terminal.
A video communication terminal comprising:
- a transceiver for receiving, from a server of a video communication network, a first message containing call-related information of an originating video communication terminal, said transceiver supplying a reply message to said originating video communication terminal through said server and receiving real-time image data of a caller from said originating video communication terminal in response to said reply message;
- and
- a controller for controlling call setup and call connection, said controller controlling a display unit to display said real-time image data of said caller upon receiving the real-time caller image data via the server before establishing a call connection with the originating communication terminal.
