Abstract
A calling method for use in a terminal configured to communicate with a device, includes: establishing a data channel with the device for assisting a call, when the terminal is conducting the call with the device through a voice channel; and exchanging interaction information with the device through the data channel, the interaction information being configured to assist a first user of the terminal and a second user of the device in coordinating and interacting when conducting the call.
Claims20
A terminal, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- establish a data channel with a device for assisting a call, when the terminal is conducting the call with the device through a voice channel;
- and
- exchange interaction information with the device through the data channel, wherein the interaction information is configured to assist a first user of the terminal and a second user of the device in coordinating and interacting when conducting the call, and wherein the exchanging of the interaction information with the device includes:
- receive first interaction information provided by the device through the data channel;
- present the first interaction information in a predetermined form, wherein when the first interaction information includes a service-information page, the presenting of the first interaction information in the predetermined form includes:
- parsing the service-information page;
- and
- presenting the service-information page in a user interface;
- and
- transmit second interaction information to the device through the data channel.
A server associated with a telephone, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- establish a data channel with a terminal for assisting a call, when the telephone is conducting the call with the terminal through a voice channel;
- and
- exchange interaction information with the terminal through the data channel, wherein the interaction information is configured to assist a first user of the terminal and a second user of the telephone in coordinating and interacting when conducting the call, and wherein the exchanging of the interaction information with the terminal includes:
- transmitting first interaction information to the terminal through the data channel;
- when the first interaction information includes a service-information page, controlling presentation of the service-information page in the terminal;
- receiving second interaction information provided by the terminal through the data channel;
- and
- presenting the second interaction information in a predetermined form or using the second interaction information.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor of a terminal configured to communicate with a device, causes the terminal to perform a calling method, the method comprising:
- establishing a data channel with the device for assisting a call, when the terminal is conducting the call with the device through a voice channel;
- and
- exchanging interaction information with the device through the data channel, wherein the interaction information is configured to assist a first user of the terminal and a second user of the device in coordinating and interacting when conducting the call, and wherein the exchanging of the interaction information with the device includes:
- receiving first interaction information provided by the device through the data channel;
- presenting the first interaction information in a predetermined form, wherein when the first interaction information includes a service-information page, the presenting of the first interaction information in the predetermined form includes:
- parsing the service-information page;
- and
- presenting the service-information page in a user interface;
- and
- transmitting second interaction information to the device through the data channel.
