Abstract

A first user equipment establishes a multimedia session with a second user equipment and receives a media stream adding request directed at the multimedia session of the first user equipment. The media stream adding request includes an identity of a third user equipment and the media type of the media flow requested to be added. The third user equipment is controlled to establish a media stream of the media type with the second user equipment.

Claims (40)

1. A method, comprising:

sending, by a first user equipment (UE), a first request to a server for requesting to establish a session between the first UE and a second UE, wherein the first UE is associated with a first identifier (ID);

establishing the session with the second UE; and

sending, by the first UE, a second request to the server for adding a third UE to the session, wherein the third UE is associated with the first ID,

wherein the third UE is added to the session,

wherein the session comprises a first media stream of a first media type received from the first UE and a second media stream of a second media type received from the third UE, and

wherein the first media type is different from the second media type.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first UE and the third UE comprise different terminal devices supporting different media streams.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first media type comprises video, and wherein the second media type comprises audio.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first ID comprises a user name.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first ID comprises an electronic mail address.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first ID comprises a nickname.

7. An electronic device, comprising:

a memory configured to store instructions; and

a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to cause the electronic device to:

send a first request to a server for requesting to establish a session between the electronic device and a second user equipment (UE), wherein the electronic device is associated with a first identifier (ID);

establish the session with the second UE; and

send a second request to the server for adding a third UE to the session, wherein the third UE is associated with the first ID,

wherein the third UE is added to the session,

wherein the session comprises a first media stream of a first media type received from the electronic device and a second media stream of a second media type received from the third UE, and

wherein the first media type and the second media type comprise different media types.

8. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the electronic device and the third UE comprise different terminal devices supporting different media streams.

9. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the first media type comprises video, and wherein the second media type comprises audio.

10. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the first ID comprises a user name, an electronic mail address, or a nickname.

11. A computer program product comprising instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by a processor, cause an electronic device to:

send a first request to a server for requesting to establish a session between the electronic device and a second UE, wherein the electronic device is associated with a first identifier (ID);

establish the session with the second UE; and

send a second request to the server for adding a third UE to the session, wherein the third UE is associated with the first ID,

wherein the third UE is added to the session,

wherein the session comprises a first media stream of a first media type received from the electronic device and a second media stream of a second media type received from the third UE, and

wherein the first media type and the second media type comprise different media types.

12. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the electronic device and the third UE comprise different terminal devices supporting different media streams.

13. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the first media type comprises video, and wherein the second media type comprises audio.

14. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the first ID comprises a user name, an electronic mail address, or a nickname.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein one of the first media type or the second media type comprises audio.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein one of the first media type or the second media type comprises video.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein one of the first media type or the second media type comprises real-time text messages.

18. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein one of the first media type or the second media type comprises audio.

19. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein one of the first media type or the second media type comprises video.

20. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein one of the first media type or the second media type comprises real-time text messages.
