Method for Group Call, Terminal, and Application Server

A method for a group call, comprising:

• during a group call, obtaining an identifier of a shielded terminal when a terminal having a speaking right needs to shield a listening right of the shielded terminal;
• and
• sending a start demarcative call message to an application server, wherein the start demarcative call message carries an identifier of the shielded terminal, so that the application server can shield the listening right of the shielded terminal according to the identifier of the shielded terminal.

An application server, comprising:

• a first receiving module, configured to receive a start demarcative call message sent by a terminal having a speaking right, when the terminal having the speaking right needs to shield a listening right of one or more terminals in a group during a group call, wherein the start demarcative call message carries an identifier of a shielded terminal;
• and
• a shielding module, configured to shield a listening right of the shielded terminal according to the identifier of the shielded terminal.

A terminal, comprising:

• an obtaining module, configured to obtain identifiers of group call terminals;
• and
• a sending module, configured to send a start demarcative call message to an application server, wherein the start demarcative call message carries an identifier of a terminal that needs to be shielded in the group call terminals and/or an identifier of a terminal that does not need to be shielded in the group call terminals, so that the application server shields, a listening right of the terminal that needs to be shielded, according to the carried identifier of the terminal.
