Abstract

A unidirectional service implementation method and an apparatus for transmitting media content collected by a terminal in a wireless communication system are provided. The unidirectional service implementation method includes registering with a server by transmitting a registration message, transmitting a first unidirectional service request message including information requesting a first unidirectional service, and establishing a first session based on the first unidirectional service request message.

Claims

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

registering with a server by transmitting a registration message to the server;

identifying that a first unidirectional service is triggered, the first unidirectional service being triggered based on at least one sensor of the first terminal;

transmitting a first service request message including information requesting the first unidirectional service to the server, the first service request message including a service commencement mode indicating whether the first unidirectional service is to be started automatically or manually;

establishing a first session for the first unidirectional service with a second terminal without response of the second terminal if the service commencement mode indicates that the first unidirectional service is to be started automatically, the first session being used only for the first terminal to transmit ambient media of the data first terminal; and

transmitting the ambient media through the first session for the first unidirectional service to the second terminal.

2. The method of claim 1,

wherein the first unidirectional service comprises a service transmitting the ambient media in a unidirectional manner.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a second service request message for requesting a second unidirectional service; and

determining whether to accept the second service request message based on at least one of service priority information or user information.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

transmitting, when the second service request message is accepted, a release message for releasing the first session;

establishing a second session with another terminal requesting the second unidirectional service; and

transmitting, when the second service request message is not accepted, a reject message for rejecting the second service request message.

5. A first terminal in a communication service, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to;

register with a server by transmitting a registration message to the server,

identify that a first unidirectional service is triggered, the first unidirectional service being triggered based on at least one sensor of the first terminal,

transmit a first service request message including information requesting the first unidirectional service to the server, the first service request message including a service commencement mode indicating whether the first unidirectional service is to be started automatically or manually,

establish a first session for the first unidirectional service with a second terminal without response of the second terminal if the service commencement mode indicates that the first unidirectional service is to be started automatically, the first session being used only for the first terminal to transmit ambient media of the first terminal, and

transmit the ambient media through the first session for the first unidirectional service to the second terminal.

6. The first terminal of claim 5,

wherein the first unidirectional service comprises a service transmitting the ambient media in a unidirectional manner.

7. The first terminal of claim 5, wherein the controller is further configured to:

receive, from another terminal, a second service request message for requesting a second unidirectional service,

determine whether to accept the second service request message based on at least one of service priority information or user information,

transmit, when the second service request message is accepted, a release message for releasing the first session,

establish a second session with the other terminal, and

transmit to the other terminal, when the second service request message is not accepted, a reject message for rejecting the second service request message.

8. A method by a server in a communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a first terminal, a first service request message including information requesting a first unidirectional service between the first terminal and a second terminal if the first unidirectional service is triggered, the first service request message including a service commencement mode indicating whether the first unidirectional service is to be started automatically or manually;

performing authority authentication to determine whether to accept the first service request message, the authority authentication comprising determining that the first terminal has unidirectional service capability; and

transmitting to the first terminal, when the authority authentication is successful, a message for establishing a first session for the first unidirectional service between the first terminal and the second terminal, the first session being used only for the first terminal to transmit ambient media,

wherein the first unidirectional service is triggered based on at least one sensor of the first terminal,

wherein the first service request message includes a service commencement mode indicating whether the first service request message is to be accepted automatically or manually, and

wherein the first session is established without response of the second terminal if the service commencement mode indicates that the first unidirectional service is to be started automatically.

9. The method of claim 8,

wherein the first unidirectional service comprises a service transmitting the ambient media acquired by the first terminal in a unidirectional manner.

10. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

receiving, from another terminal, a second service request message for requesting a second unidirectional service; and

determining whether to accept the second service request message based on at least one of service priority information or user information.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

transmitting, when the second service request message is accepted, a message for establishing a second session between the first terminal and the second terminal; and

transmitting to the other terminal, when the second service request message is rejected, a reject message for rejecting the second service request message.

12. A server in a communication system, the server comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to;

receive, from a first terminal, a first service request message comprising information requesting a first unidirectional service between the first terminal and a second terminal, if the first unidirectional service is triggered, the first service request message including a service commencement mode indicating whether the first unidirectional service is to be started automatically or manually,

perform authority authentication to determine whether to accept the first service request message, and

transmit to the first terminal, when the authority authentication is successful, a message for establishing a first session for the first unidirectional service between the first terminal and the second terminal, the first session being used only for the first terminal to transmit ambient media,

wherein the first unidirectional service is triggered based on at least one sensor of the first terminal,

wherein the first service request message includes a service commencement mode indicating whether the first service request message is to be accepted automatically or manually, and

wherein the first session is established without response of the second terminal if the service commencement mode indicates that the first unidirectional service is to be started automatically.

13. The server of claim 12,

wherein the first unidirectional service comprises a service transmitting the ambient media acquired by the first terminal in a unidirectional manner.

14. The server of claim 12, wherein the controller is further configured to:

receive from another terminal, a second service request message for requesting a second unidirectional service, and

determine whether to accept the second service request message based on at least one of service priority information or user information.

15. The server of claim 14, wherein the controller is further configured to:

transmit, when the second service request message is accepted, a message for establishing a second session between the first terminal and the second terminal requesting the second unidirectional service, and

transmit, to the other terminal, when the second service request message is rejected, a reject message for rejecting the second service request message.
