Video call service

A system server comprising:

• a communication interface for communicating with a videophone apparatus and a service provider;
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code;
• the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the system server to:
• connect the system server via a first wireless connection to the videophone apparatus;
• receive authentication information from the videophone apparatus via the first wireless connection to initiate account generation for at least one video call service;
• connect the system server to the service provider of a video call service;
• initiate account generation for the video call service;
• and
• transmit client information to the videophone apparatus based on account information of the generated account to determine a client application in the videophone apparatus based on the client information, to establish a peer-to-peer connection between the videophone apparatus and a peer over a second wireless connection;
• and
• to trigger a video call service over the peer-to-peer connection utilizing the determined client a application and the account generated by the system server.

A method comprising:

• connecting a videophone apparatus via a first wireless connection to a system server;
• transmitting authentication information from the videophone apparatus to the system server via the first wireless connection for initiating account generation for at least one video call service;
• receiving client information from the system server;
• determining a client application based on the received client information;
• establishing a peer-to-peer connection between the videophone apparatus and the peer over a second wireless connection;
• and
• triggering a video call service over the peer-to-peer connection utilizing the determined client application and the account generated by the system server.

A computer program embodied on a computer readable non-transitory medium comprising computer executable program code, which when executed by at least one processor of a videophone apparatus, causes the videophone apparatus to:

• connect a videophone apparatus via a first wireless connection to a system server;
• transmit authentication information from the videophone apparatus to the system server via the first wireless connection for initiating account generation for at least one video call service;
• receive client information from the system server;
• determine a client application based on the received client information;
• establish a peer-to-peer connection between the videophone apparatus and the peer over a second wireless connection;
• and
• trigger a video call service over the peer-to-peer connection utilizing the determined client application and the account generated by the system server.
