Abstract

A video telephony terminal includes a session verification unit to verify whether stuffing data is received from a motion picture ring back tone (RBT) server and a terminating terminal with respect to a request for a video telephony connection, and a communication unit to perform the video telephony connection with the terminating terminal if reception of terminal side stuffing data is verified before reception of server side stuffing data associated with the motion picture RBT server is verified. A method for controlling a video telephony terminal includes performing a video telephony connection with the terminating terminal if terminal side stuffing data is received from the terminating terminal with respect to the request for a video telephony connection before a reception of the server side stuffing data associated with the motion picture RBT server is verified.

Claims (36)

1. A video telephony terminal, comprising:

a session verification unit to verify whether server side stuffing data is received from a motion picture ring back tone (RBT) server with respect to a request for a video telephony connection, and to verify whether terminal side stuffing data is received from a terminating terminal with respect to the request for a video telephony connection; and

a communication unit to perform the video telephony connection with the terminating terminal if a reception of the terminal side stuffing data associated with the terminating terminal is verified before a reception of the server side stuffing data associated with the motion picture RBT server is verified,

wherein the server side stuffing data comprises a connection message received from the motion picture RBT server in response to the request for the video telephony connection, and the terminal side stuffing data comprises a connection message received from the terminating terminal in response to the request for the video telephony connection.

2. The video telephony terminal of claim 1 , wherein if the server side stuffing data is not received within a first time interval and the terminal side stuffing data is received within a second time interval, the communication unit performs the video telephony connection with the terminating terminal.

3. The video telephony terminal of claim 2 , wherein the first time interval is shorter than the second time interval.

4. The video telephony terminal of claim 2 , wherein the second time interval at least partially overlaps with the first time interval.

5. The video telephony terminal of claim 1 , wherein the session verification unit comprises:

a server session verification unit to verify whether the server side stuffing data is received via a server session with the motion picture RBT server; and

a terminal session verification unit to verify whether the terminal side stuffing data is received via a terminal session with the terminating terminal.

6. The video telephony terminal of claim 5 , wherein:

if the server session verification unit verifies that the server side stuffing data is not received, the communication unit releases the server session, and

if the terminal session verification unit verifies that the terminal side stuffing data is received, the communication unit performs the video telephony connection with the terminal session.

7. The video telephony terminal of claim 5 , wherein if the terminal session verification unit verifies that the terminal side stuffing data is not received, the communication unit invalidates the request for the video telephony connection.

8. The video telephony terminal of claim 1 , wherein:

if the reception of the server side stuffing data is verified before the reception of the terminal side stuffing data is verified, the communication unit receives RBT data from the motion picture RBT server via a server session with the motion picture RBT server that is set according to the request for the video telephony connection, and

if the terminal side stuffing data is received while the communication unit receives RBT data from the motion picture RBT server, the communication unit releases the server session.

9. A method for controlling a video telephony terminal, comprising:

verifying whether server side stuffing data is received from a motion picture ring back tone (RBT) server with respect to a request for a video telephony connection, and verifying whether terminal side stuffing data is received from a terminating terminal with respect to the request for a video telephony connection; and

performing the video telephony connection with the terminating terminal if a reception of the terminal side stuffing data associated with the terminating terminal is verified before a reception of the server side stuffing data associated with the motion picture RBT server is verified,

wherein the server side stuffing data comprises a connection message received from the motion picture RBT server in response to the request for the video telephony connection, and the terminal side stuffing data comprises a connection message received from the terminating terminal in response to the request for the video telephony connection.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein if the server side stuffing data is not received within a first time interval and the terminal side stuffing data is received within a second time, the video telephony connection is performed with the terminating terminal.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first time interval is shorter than the second time interval.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the second time interval at least partially overlaps with the first time interval.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the verifying comprises:

verifying whether the server side stuffing data is received via a server session with the motion picture RBT server; and

verifying whether the terminal side stuffing data is received via a terminal session with the terminating terminal.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising:

releasing the server session if the server side stuffing data is not received; and

performing the video telephony connection via the terminal session if the terminal side stuffing data is received.

15. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

invalidating the request for the video telephony connection if the terminal side stuffing data is not received.

16. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

receiving RBT data from the motion picture RBT server via a server session with the motion picture RBT server that is set according to the request for the video telephony connection if the reception of the server side stuffing data is verified before the reception of the terminal side stuffing data is verified; and

releasing the server session if the terminal side stuffing data is received while receiving the RBT data from the motion picture RBT server.

17. A computer comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a program, when executed, to perform the method of claim 9 .
