Abstract

A method for reducing a risk of a call connection failure in a video communication providing a multimedia ring back tone service includes replying to a call connection request from a calling terminal, receiving a first message, determining whether the first message includes predetermined data and if the first message includes the predetermined data, setting a second message from the calling terminal as an initial value for a Numbered Simple Retransmission Protocol (NSRP) session with the calling terminal. The predetermined data may include a video temporal spatial tradeoff command, miscellaneous video temporal spatial indication, or a video fast update picture command. A system to perform the method includes a receiving unit, a determination unit, and a setting unit.

Claims

1. A method for reducing a risk of call connection failure, comprising:

replying to a call connection request from a calling terminal;

receiving a first message;

determining whether the first message includes predetermined data, the predetermined data comprising data to be sent to a call connection video server; and

if the first message includes the predetermined data, setting an initial value using a second message from the calling terminal for a Numbered Simple Retransmission Protocol (NSRP) session with the calling terminal,

wherein the predetermined data includes at least one of a video temporal spatial tradeoff command, miscellaneous video temporal spatial indication, and video fast update picture command.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining whether the first message corresponds to a first received message that is received after replying to the call connection request.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the setting an initial value using the second message comprises:

setting a sequence number of an NSRP layer using an H.245 message, the H.245 message being the second message.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining a source of the first message; and

if the first message was to be transmitted to a call connection video server, disregarding the first message and invalidating the initial value.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein if a video call session with the calling terminal is opened after replying to the call connection request, the first message is a message received while a capability exchange or a level detection is performed.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

if the first message does not include the predetermined data or does not correspond to a first received message that is received after replying to the call connection request, setting the initial value for the NSRP session with the calling terminal using the first message.

7. A computer comprising a processor and an internal memory, and adapted to execute a program stored on the internal memory or on a computer-readable recording medium, the program comprising a method for reducing a risk of call connection failure, wherein the method comprises:

replying to a call connection request from a calling terminal;

receiving a first message;

determining whether the first message includes predetermined data, the predetermined data comprising data to be sent to a call connection video server; and

if the first message includes the predetermined data, setting an initial value using a second message from the calling terminal for a Numbered Simple Retransmission Protocol (NSRP) session with the calling terminal,

wherein the predetermined data includes at least one of a video temporal spatial tradeoff command, miscellaneous video temporal spatial indication, and video fast update picture command.

8. A system to reduce a risk of call connection failure, comprising:

a receiving unit to reply to a call connection request from a calling terminal and to receive a first message;

a determination unit to determine whether predetermined data is included in the first message, the predetermined data comprising data to be sent to a call connection video server; and

a setting unit to set an initial value using a second message from the calling terminal for a Numbered Simple Retransmission Protocol (NSRP) session with the calling terminal if the first message includes the predetermined data,

wherein the predetermined data includes at least one of a video temporal spatial tradeoff command, miscellaneous video temporal spatial indication, and video fast update picture command.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the determining unit determines whether the first message corresponds to a first received message that is received after the receiving unit replies to the call connection request.

10. The system of claim 8, wherein the setting unit sets a sequence number of an NSRP layer using an H.245 message, the H.245 message being the second message.

11. The system of claim 8, wherein the setting unit determines if the first message was to be transmitted to a call connection video server, and if so, the setting unit then disregards the first message and invalidates an initial value erroneously set based on the first message.

12. The system of claim 8, wherein if a video call session with the calling terminal is opened after replying to the call connection request, the first message is a message received while a capability exchange or a level detection is performed.

13. The system of claim 8, wherein if the first message does not include the predetermined data or does not correspond to a first received message that is received after replying to the call connection request, the setting unit sets the initial value for the NSRP session with the calling terminal using the first message.
