Abstract

A method performed by a first terminal is provided. The method includes identifying capabilities of the first terminal connected to at least one component device, establishing, via a server, a session associated with an augmented reality (AR) service based on the capabilities of the first terminal, performing pre-processing on 3 dimensional (3D) media data acquired by the at least one component device, and transmitting, to a second terminal, the pre-processed 3D media data.

Claims (54)

1. A method performed by a first terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

identifying capabilities of at least one component device which is connected to the first terminal;

receiving, from a server, information indicating a list of extended reality (XR) services and configuration information for the XR services;

determining, an XR service among the list of XR services, based on the capabilities of the at least one component device and the configuration information for the XR services;

receiving, from the server, information indicating an entry point corresponding to the XR service;

establishing a session for the XR service, wherein the session for the XR service is associated with the entry point; and

performing at least one processing on three dimensional (3D) media data for the XR service, wherein the 3D media data is further processed by a cloud, based on a capability of the first terminal, and

wherein the processed 3D media data is transmitted to a second terminal.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining at least one processing to be performed by the cloud, based on the capability of the first terminal.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

requesting the cloud to perform the determined at least one processing.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the 3D media data is acquired by the at least one component device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a format associated with the 3D media data is determined during the establishment of the session.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the XR service includes an XR call between the first terminal and the second terminal.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one component device includes a camera.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the 3D media data is transmitted in real-time.

9. A method performed by a second terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

identifying capabilities of at least one component device which is connected to the second terminal;

receiving, from a server, information indicating a list of extended reality (XR) services and configuration information for the XR services;

determining an XR service among the list of XR services, based on the capabilities of the at least one component device and the configuration information for the XR services;

receiving, from the server, information indicating an entry point corresponding to the XR service;

establishing a session for the XR service, wherein the session for the XR service is associated with the entry point;

receiving, from a first terminal, three-dimensional (3D) media data for the XR service, wherein the 3D media data is processed by a cloud, based on a capability of the second terminal;

performing at least one processing on the 3D media data; and

rendering the processed 3D media data on the second terminal.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

determining at least one processing to be performed by the cloud, based on the capability of the second terminal.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

requesting the cloud to perform the determined at least one processing.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein a format associated with the 3D media data is determined during the establishment of the session.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the XR service includes an XR call between the first terminal and the second terminal.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the at least one component device includes a camera.

15. A first terminal in a wireless communication system, the first terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to:

identify capabilities of at least one component device which is connected to the first terminal,

receive, from a server via the transceiver, information indicating a list of extended reality (XR) services and configuration information for the XR services,

determine an XR service among the list of XR services, based on the capabilities of the at least one component device and the configuration information for the XR services,

receive, from the server via the transceiver, information indicating an entry point corresponding to the XR service,

establish, via the transceiver, a session for the XR service, wherein the session for the XR service is associated with the entry point, and

perform at least one processing on three dimensional (3D) media data for the XR service, wherein the 3D media data is further processed by a cloud, based on a capability of the first terminal,

wherein the processed 3D media data is transmitted to a second terminal.

16. A second terminal in a wireless communication system, the second terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to:

identify capabilities of at least one component device which is connected to the second terminal,

receive, from a server via the transceiver, information indicating a list of extended reality (XR) services and configuration information for the XR services,

determine an XR service among the list of XR services, based on the capabilities of the at least one component device and the configuration information for the XR services,

receive, from the server via the transceiver, information indicating an entry point corresponding to the XR service,

establish, via the transceiver, a session for the XR service, wherein the session for the XR service is associated with the entry point,

receive, from a first terminal via the transceiver, three-dimensional (3D) media data for the XR service, wherein the 3D media data is processed by a cloud, based on a capability of the second terminal,

perform at least one processing on the 3D media data, and

render the processed 3D media data on the second terminal.
