Method and a device for enriching a call
First Claim
1. A method of enriching a call set up between at least a transmitter terminal and a receiver terminal, the method comprising:
- the receiver terminal receiving a first item of visual information of the call from the transmitter terminal and at least one second item of visual enriching information from a server distinct from the transmitter terminal, the at least one second item of visual enriching information comprising at least one of image, video, text or sound information and being received in response to a request sent to the server by either the transmitter terminal or the receiver terminal;
the receiver terminal obtaining at least one parameter relating to at least a network bandwidth and a capacity of the receiver terminal;
the received terminal determining as a function of the obtained parameter, at least one playback model selected from a group of previously-determined playback models comprising spatial positioning parameters enabling the at least one second item of visual enriching information and the first item of visual information of the call to be positioned on a display device associated with the receiver terminal; and
playing back said at least one second item of visual enriching information and the first item of visual information of the call on the display device associated with the receiver terminal in application of the determined playback model, the second item of visual enriching information received from the server enriching the first item of visual information of the call received from the transmitter terminal.

Abstract
A method and a device are provided for enriching a call that is set up between at least a transmitter terminal and a receiver terminal. The method includes a step of the receiver terminal receiving at least one item of enriching information. The enriching method acts as a function of at least one parameter relating to the call to determine at least one playback model for the enriching information. The determined playback model enables the enriching information and a visual stream of the call to be positioned on a display device associated with the receiver terminal. The enriching information and the visual stream of the call are then played back on the receiver terminal in application of the determined playback model.

10. A receiver terminal including a device for enriching a call that is set up between at least a transmitter terminal and the receiver terminal, the device comprising:
-
communication circuitry configured to receive a first item of visual information of the call from the transmitter terminal and at least one second item of visual enriching information from a server distinct from the transmitter terminal, which comprises at least one of image, video, text or sound information; a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon; a data processor configured by the instructions to; obtain a parameter relating at least to a network bandwidth and a capacity of the receiver terminal; act as a function of the parameter relating to the call to determine a playback model selected from a group of previously-determined playback models comprising spatial positioning parameters enabling the at least one second item of visual enriching information and the first item of visual information of the call to be positioned on a display device associated with the receiver terminal; and play back said first item of visual information of the call and the at least one second item of visual enriching information in application of the determined playback model, the at least one second item of visual enriching information comprising at least one of image, video, text or sound information and being received in response to a request sent to the server by either the transmitter terminal or the receiver terminal.
