Apparatus and method for transferring video

A terminal for transferring video, comprising:

• an audio-video splitting/assembling unit for assembling locally acquired video stream and audio stream, or splitting an audio-video assembly sent by a counter-terminal into video stream and audio stream;
• wherein it further comprises:
• a device discovering unit responsible for searching for a first device with image capturing and displaying functions, and
• an audio encoding/decoding and packet assembling unit for performing audio stream transmission with the audio-video splitting/assembling unit, and a remotely waking-up unit responsible for waking-up the first device, when the device discovering unit has found the first device but the audio-video splitting/assembling unit cannot establish a connection to the first device,
• wherein the audio-video splitting/assembling unit is adapted to receive a video stream captured by the first device after the device discovering unit has found the first device, and then to use the video stream for the local audio-video assembly, or the audio-video splitting/assembling unit is adapted to send the split video stream to the first device for display,
• the audio-video splitting/assembling unit obtains the video stream of the first device and the audio stream generated by the audio encoding/decoding and packet assembling unit through encoding sound acquired from a microphone of the terminal, assembles the video stream with the audio stream, and sends it to the counter-terminal, or,
• splits the audio-video stream sent from the counter-terminal, and then sends the video stream and the audio stream to the first device and the audio encoding/decoding packet assembling unit respectively, the audio encoding/decoding packet assembling unit decoding the audio stream and then transmitting it to a user's ears through a speaker of the local terminal.
