Abstract

The present invention discloses a terminal for leaving video messages, which comprises a video message setting module, a video message management module, a video reception and storage module and a call control module. The video message setting module is configured to: configure a video message function; the video message management module is configured to: manage video message files in the video message storage medium; the video reception and storage module is configured to: receive and store both audio and video information of calling party; the call control module is configured to: control the entire working process of leaving a video message, and to start the video message function according to the configuration parameters when a video call arrives. The present invention also discloses a method for leaving messages on a terminal.

Claims

1. A terminal for leaving video messages, comprising a video message setting module, a video message management module, a video reception and storage module and a call control module;

the video message setting module being configured to;

configure a video message function;

the video message management module being configured to;

manage video message files in a video message storage medium;

the video reception and storage module being configured to;

receive and store both audio and video information of a calling party;

the call control module being configured to;

control a entire working process of leaving a video message, and to start the video message function according to configuration parameters when a video call arrives.

2. The terminal for leaving video messages of claim 1, wherein:

the video message function configured by the video message setting module comprises at least one of following;

carrying out configuration to start the video message function or to stop the video message function;

configuring a video prompt file which is transmitted to the calling party and comprises a prompt file during a video message working process and a prompt file when the video message times out;

configuring different video prompts used by different call numbers; and

configuring a length of time for limiting the video message.

3. The terminal for leaving video messages of claim 1, wherein:

the video message management module is further configured to;

support a deletion operation and play operation of the video message; and

to associate the video messages with call records, so as to find one or a plurality of corresponding video messages through the call records.

4. The terminal for leaving video messages of claim 1, wherein:

the terminal for leaving video messages further comprises a preset message transmission module, which is configured to;

transmit prompt information to the calling party during a video message working process.

5. The terminal for leaving video messages of claim 1, wherein:

the terminal for leaving video messages further comprises a video message work indication module, and the video message work indication module is configured to;

display a video message working status, which comprises prompt information of being in a video message working process and prompt information of having a new video message, on an interface of a called party.

6. The terminal for leaving video messages of claim 1, wherein:

the terminal for leaving video messages further comprises a message timing module, which is configured to;

perform timing on the video message.

7. A method for leaving video messages on a terminal, comprising:

performing a video message configuration on a video terminal; and

receiving and storing content of a video call in a storage medium of a called terminal when the video terminal detects the video call coming in.

8. The method for leaving video messages on a terminal of claim 7, wherein:

the step of performing a video message configuration on a video terminal comprises;

the video terminal opening a video message setting module to perform the video message configuration, wherein the video message configuration comprises at least one of following;

configuring whether to start the video message or not;

carrying out configuration to start up for all incoming calls, a group of the incoming calls, a part of the incoming calls, or a certain incoming call number;

carrying out configuration to start up for all incoming calls, a group of the incoming calls, a part of the incoming calls, or a certain incoming call number during a certain period of time;

carrying out configuration to start up immediately when a call comes in, or to delay a period of time to start up when the video terminal doesn'"'"'t answer proactively;

configuring a prompt file of starting the video message and a prompt audio and video file when message time expires;

configuring a maximum time length of a message;

configuring whether to store in a mobile phone'"'"'s own storage or to store in an extended storage card.

9. The method for leaving video messages on a terminal of claim 7, wherein:

when the terminal has a call control module, the method further comprises;

the call control module detecting the video call, and starting a video message function when the video call comes in and preset conditions are all met.

10. The method for leaving video messages on a terminal of claim 9, wherein the method further comprises:

the call control module transmitting a message to a video reception and storage module of the terminal to store an audio and video file when detecting that a call ends.
