Abstract

The present invention discloses a transmission method in communication of a video phone, which utilize a user input indication messages to include a text message during communication of telephone call, and displays the text message on the calling interface of the terminal, thereby providing transmission of text messages during communication of the video phone. The present invention has improved message interaction between the mobile phones and is suitable for sending and receiving a text message during a telephone call of video mobile phones in the 3G network. The user can directly input words on the calling interface and send them to the other party, and the inputted text message can be directly displayed on the user'"'"'s calling interface after choosing to send the text message.

Claims

1. A transmission method in communication of a video phone, including:

utilizing a user input indication message to include a text message during a telephone call, and displaying text contents of the text message on a calling interface of a terminal;

realizing transmission of the text message during communication of a video phone.

2. The transmission method according to claim 1, before the step of using a user input indication message to include a text message, further including:

editing the text contents of the text message on the calling interface of the user terminal.

3. The transmission method according to claim 2, wherein after completing editing the text contents of the text message, the step of utilizing a user input indication message to include a text message includes:

adding a message header to the text message; and

sending the text message to the other party of the call through the user input indication message;

wherein the message header is used for marking the text message containing text contents that is included in the user input indication message.

4. The transmission method according to claim 2, wherein in the step of displaying the text contents of the text message on a calling interface of a terminal, the other party of the call receives the user input indication message including the text message, and displays the text contents of the text message on the calling interface of his/her own terminal.

5. The transmission method according to claim 4, wherein the calling interface is equipped with an operating interface, when the text message is being edited or received, the text message is displayed on the operating interface.

6. The transmission method according to claim 5, wherein the operating interface includes a display area and provides operating commands for the user or the other party of the call to operate, and the text message is displayed in the display area;

the operating commands for the text contents include;

editing a message, deleting a message, sending a message, saving a message or replying a message.

7. The transmission method according to claim 1, wherein the text message comprises text contents and a message header, and the message header is used for marking the text message containing the text contents that is included in the user input indication message.

8. The transmission method according to claim 2, wherein in the step of editing text contents of the text message:

in a video phone call state, when it is necessary to edit text contents and send them to the other party of the call, the user enters a state of editing the text contents; and

on the calling interface, the user enters an message editing box to input and edit the text contents.

9. The transmission method according to claim 8, wherein before the step of sending the text message through the user input indication message, the text message is saved into the memory of the user terminal to make it easy to send for multiple times.

10. The transmission method according to claim 8, wherein when the text contents of the text message exceed a set value, the text message is sent to the other party of the call in batches.

11. The transmission method according to claim 8, wherein

the text message comprises text contents and a message header, and the message header is used for marking the text message containing the text contents that is included in the user input indication message;

before the step of sending the text message through the user input indication message, the transmission method also includes;

the user terminal first performs handshake negotiation with the terminal of the other party of the call, if the negotiation result is that the terminal of the other party of the call can parse the message header, then the user terminal executes the sending step.

12. The transmission method according to claim 4, wherein the text message comprises text contents and a message header, and the message header is used for marking the text message containing the text contents that is included in the user input indication message;

after the step that the other party of the call receives the user input indication message including the text message, the transmission method also includes;

the terminal of the other party of the call parses the message header to determine that the text message containing the text contents is included in the user input indication message, and extracts the text contents of the text message received to display them on its own calling interface.

13. The transmission method according to claim 12, wherein in the step of displaying the text contents of the text message on a calling interface of a terminal, upon completion of extracting the text contents, the terminal'"'"'s operating interface for the text contents of the text message is accesses;

the text contents of the text message are displayed on the operating interface of the calling interface, and the text contents are operated on the operating interface.

14. The transmission method according to claim 11, further including:

judging based on the message header whether the user input indication message is including a command message or a text message, if the user input indication message contains the message header, then the user input indication message includes a text message, and the text contents after the message header in the text message can be acquired.

15. The transmission method according to claim 11, further including:

if the negotiation result is that the terminal of the other party of the call does not support parsing the message header, then the user terminal will send the text contents of the text message via a short message to the other party of the call so that the other party of the call can access his/her terminal'"'"'s short message module to read the text contents.
