Abstract

A mobile terminal communicates with a remote terminal via a video call. The mobile terminal searches for at least one peripheral smart television to acquire device information of the at least one television to establish a TV list, and selects a target television. The mobile terminal then negotiates with the remote terminal to change session description of the video call to make the remote terminal directly send media stream to the target television. The mobile terminal also controls the target television to acquire media stream of the video call and directly send media stream to the remote terminal.

Claims (46)

1. A mobile terminal comprising:

at least one processor; and

a nontransitory computer readable medium coupled to the processor, storing instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

communicate with a remote terminal via a video call, the remote terminal acquiring media stream data;

search for at least one smart television to acquire device information of the smart television;

establish a TV list;

select a target television from the TV list;

negotiate with the remote terminal to change a session description of the video call to set a destination address of the media stream data of the remote terminal as an IP address of the selected target television;

instruct the remote terminal to send the media stream data directly to the target television;

control the target television to acquire additional media stream data for the video call;

control the target television to set a destination address of the media stream of the target television as an IP address of the remote terminal, thereby enabling the target television to send the media stream data directly to the remote terminal.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the searching for the at least one smart television surrounding the mobile terminal is implemented via Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), the negotiating with the remote terminal is implemented via Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), and the controlling the target television is implemented via UPnP.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the device information comprises an NFC tag, an IP address and device abilities of the at least one smart television.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 3 , wherein the searching for the at least one smart television surrounding the mobile terminal is started upon condition that an NFC induction to a first smart television is detected.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 4 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:

distinguish each of the at least one smart television via the NFC tag;

determine the at least one smart television to be optional televisions when the device abilities of the at least one smart television meet a default requirement that is preset by users; and

automatically select the first smart television as the target television when the first smart television is one of the optional televisions.

6. A method for modifying video call, applied in a mobile terminal, the method comprising:

communicating with a remote terminal via a video call, the remote terminal acquiring media stream data;

searching for at least one smart television to acquire device information of the smart television;

establishing a TV list;

selecting a target television from the TV list;

negotiating with the remote terminal to change a session description of the video call to set a destination address of the media stream data of the remote terminal as an IP address of the selected target television;

instructing the remote terminal to send the media stream data directly to the target television;

controlling the target television to acquire additional media stream data for the video call;

controlling the target television to set a destination address of the media stream of the target television as an IP address of the remote terminal, thereby enabling the target television to send the media stream data directly to the remote terminal.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the searching step is implemented via UPnP, the negotiating step is implemented via SIP, the controlling step is implemented via UPnP.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the device information further comprises a NFC tag, a IP address and device abilities of the at least one smart television.

9. The method as described in claim 6 , wherein the searching step is started upon condition that a NFC induction to a first smart television is detected.

10. The method as described in claim 6 , further comprising:

distinguishes each of the at least one smart television via the NFC tag;

determining the at least one smart television to be optional televisions when the device abilities of the at least one smart television meet a default requirement that preset by users; and

automatically selecting the first smart television as the target television when the first smart television is one of the optional televisions.

11. A smart television comprising:

at least one processor;

a storage system; and

one or more programs that are stored in the storage system and are executed by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:

receiving searching commands from a mobile terminal;

responding to the mobile terminal device information of the smart television after receiving searching commands from the mobile terminal;

configuring a destination IP address of media stream of the smart television as a IP address of a remote terminal, according to the control commands from the mobile terminal;

directly receiving media stream from the remote terminal; and

directly sending media stream to the mobile terminal.

12. The smart television of claim 11 , wherein the device information comprises a IP address and device abilities of the smart television.

13. The smart television of claim 11 , wherein the device information further comprises a NFC tag when the smart television has a NFC component.

14. The smart television of claim 11 , where the responding is further occurred upon condition that a NFC induction to the mobile terminal is detected.
