Abstract

Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of communication, and provide a video greeting playing method, system, server and storage medium. The video greeting playing method includes: in response to receiving a call transfer request indicating that a first terminal fails to call a second terminal, acquiring a type of a media channel currently accessed by the first terminal; in response to that the type of the media channel currently accessed by the first terminal is audio, performing video media negotiation with the first terminal; and in response to that the video media negotiation with the first terminal succeeds, sending a video greeting pre-recorded by the second terminal to the first terminal for the first terminal to play the video greeting.

Claims (37)

1 . A video greeting playing method, applied to a server, comprising:

in response to receiving a call transfer request indicating that a first terminal fails to call a second terminal, acquiring a type of a media channel currently accessed by the first terminal;

in response to that the type of the media channel currently accessed by the first terminal is audio, performing video media negotiation with the first terminal; and

in response to that the video media negotiation with the first terminal succeeds, sending a video greeting pre-recorded by the second terminal to the first terminal for the first terminal to play the video greeting;

wherein the video greeting is pre-recorded by the following manner:

in response to receiving a call initiated by the second terminal to the server, acquiring a type of the media channel currently accessed by the second terminal;

in response to that the type of the media channel currently accessed by the second terminal is audio, performing video media negotiation with the second terminal; and

in response to that the video media negotiation with the second terminal succeeds, instructing the second terminal to record the video greeting;

wherein after performing the video media negotiation with the second terminal, the method further comprises:

in response to that the video media negotiation with the second terminal fails, instructing the second terminal to record an audio greeting; and

generating the video greeting according to the audio greeting and a preset default video, and using the generated video greeting as the recorded video greeting.

2 . The video greeting playing method according to claim 1 , wherein after performing the video media negotiation with the first terminal, the method further comprises:

in response to that the video media negotiation with the first terminal fails, sending an audio content in the video greeting pre-recorded by the second terminal to the first terminal for the first terminal to play the audio content.

3 . The video greeting playing method according to claim 1 , wherein after sending the video greeting pre-recorded by the second terminal to the first terminal for the first terminal to play the video greeting, the method further comprises:

instructing the first terminal to record a message according to the video greeting,

wherein the message is an audio message and/or a video message.

4 . The video greeting playing method according to claim 3 , wherein the second terminal plays the message in the following manner:

in response to receiving a call initiated by the second terminal to the server, acquiring a type of the media channel currently accessed by the second terminal;

in response to that the type of the media channel currently accessed by the second terminal is audio and the message is the video message, performing video media negotiation with the second terminal; and

in response to that the video media negotiation with the second terminal succeeds, sending the video message to the second terminal for the second terminal to play the video message.

5 . The video greeting playing method according to claim 4 , wherein after performing the video media negotiation with the second terminal, the method further comprises:

in response to that the video media negotiation with the second terminal fails, playing the audio content in the video message to the second terminal.

6 . A server, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory communicated with the at least one processor,

wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, when the instructions are executed by the at least one processor, the at least one processor performs the video greeting playing method according to claim 1 .

7 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, wherein when the computer program is executed by a processor, the video greeting playing method according to claim 1 is realized.

8 . A video greeting playing system, comprising: a core network, a server, a first terminal and a second terminal,

wherein the core network is configured to send to the server a call transfer request indicating that the first terminal fails to call the second terminal after determining that the first terminal fails to call the second terminal;

wherein the server is configured to receive the call transfer request, and acquire a type of a media channel currently accessed by the first terminal; in response to that the type of the media channel currently accessed by the first terminal is audio, perform video media negotiation with the first terminal; in response to that the video media negotiation with the first terminal succeeds, send a video greeting pre-recorded by the second terminal to the first terminal; and

wherein the first terminal is configured to initiate a call to the second terminal; in response to that the call fails, perform video media negotiation with the server, receive and play the video greeting pre-recorded by the second terminal sent by the server;

wherein the video greeting is pre-recorded by the following manner:

in response to receiving a call initiated by the second terminal to the server, acquiring a type of the media channel currently accessed by the second terminal;

in response to that the type of the media channel currently accessed by the second terminal is audio, performing video media negotiation with the second terminal; and

in response to that the video media negotiation with the second terminal succeeds, instructing the second terminal to record the video greeting;

wherein the server is further configured to in response to that the video media negotiation with the second terminal fails, instruct the second terminal to record an audio greeting; and

generate the video greeting according to the audio greeting and a preset default video, and use the generated video greeting as the recorded video greeting.
