TRANSITIONING BETWEEN CIRCUIT SWITCHED CALLS AND VIDEO CALLS
First Claim
1. A method performed on a client device for transitioning between a circuit switched audio call and a video call, the client device including a front facing camera to capture video for the video call, the method comprising:
- receiving input from a user of the client device to transition from an established circuit switched audio call to a video call, wherein the established circuit switched audio call has a plurality of participants including the user of client device and a set of one or more remote participants at a set of one or more other client devices;
causing a video call invitation message to be transmitted to the set of other client devices of the remote participants;
receiving a video call accept message from the set of other client devices of the set of remote participants;
transmitting video captured by the front facing camera of the client device to the set of other client devices of the set of remote participants; and
responsive to receiving at least a video frame from each of the set of other client devices of the set of remote participants, transitioning from the circuit switched audio call to the video call.

Abstract
Transitioning between an audio only circuit switched call and a video call. A client device, which is currently connected to one or more other client devices through an established audio only circuit switched call, receives input from a user to transition from the audio only circuit switched call to the video call. A video call invitation message is transmitted to the other client devices. The client device receives a video call accept message from the other client devices and begins transmitting video captured by its front facing camera to the other client devices. Responsive to receiving at least a video frame from each of the one or more other client devices, the client device transitions from the audio only circuit switched call to the video call. After transitioning to the video call, the circuit switched call is dropped.
