Network Device, Called Terminal, and Method for Processing Third-Party Call

A method for a called terminal to process a third-party call, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the called terminal, a calling phone number of a third party at a time when the called terminal is in a call process with a peer number;
• determining a priority of the calling phone number of the third party and a priority of the peer number;
• comparing the priority of the calling phone number of the third party with the priority of the peer number;
• determining a processing suggestion on the third-party call according to a result of the comparing;
• and
• sending the processing suggestion on the third-party call to a network device so that a network device can process the third-party call according to the processing suggestion on the third-party call.

A network device comprising:

• a judging module;
• a number extracting and sending module;
• and
• a processing module;
• wherein the judging module is configured to send a request for extracting a calling phone number of a third party to the number extracting and sending module when determining that a called terminal has activated call waiting service and is in a call process when the third-party originates a call to the called terminal;
• wherein the number extracting and sending module is configured to extract the calling phone number of the third party in response to the request of the judging module and to send the phone number to the called terminal;
• and
• wherein the processing module is configured to receive a processing suggestion on the third-party call from the called terminal and to process the third-party call according to the processing suggestion on the third-party call.

A terminal comprising:

• a receiving and parsing module configured to receive a calling phone number of a third party that originates a call when the terminal is in a call process with a peer number;
• a priority determining module configured to determine a priority of the calling phone number of the third party and a priority of the peer number;
• a result determining module configured to compare the priority of the calling phone number of the third party with the priority of the peer number and to determine a processing suggestion on the third-party call according to a result of the comparison;
• and
• a result sending module configured to send the processing suggestion on the third-party call to a network device so that a network device can process the third-party call according to the processing suggestion on the third-party call.
