20140171139 | INTERCOMMUNICATION METHODS AND DEVICES BASED ON DIGITAL NETWORKS - The present application discloses methods and devices for intercommunication between mobile terminals based on digital networks. A first mobile terminal may connect to a uniquely identified server based on a first terminal identifier corresponding to the first mobile terminal. In addition, the first mobile terminal may connect to the server through a default connection setup embedded in the first terminal identifier. By acquiring terminal identifiers corresponding to interacting mobile terminals, the first mobile terminal may establish communication channels with the interacting mobile terminals. After adding the terminal identifiers of the interacting mobile terminals to the contact lists of the first mobile terminal, different regions of the first mobile terminal may be designated to the interacting mobile terminals so that the regions may display the status of communication and serve as interfaces to control receiving, playing, recording, and transmitting digital contents encoding voice messages. | 06-19-2014 |
20140323166 | METHOD, DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR VOICE COMMUNICATION - A method is performed at a computer server for enabling voice communication between two terminals through IM service. Upon receiving a message from a remote computer, the message including an IM identifier of a callee terminal user and a mobile device identifier of the terminal, the computer system updates an entry for the callee terminal user in a database. Upon receiving a request from a caller terminal user at a caller terminal to start voice communication with the callee terminal user, the computer server identifies the entry that includes the IM identifier of the callee terminal user and sends a voice communication request to a service control point (SCP) in a switched telephone network. The SCP then returns an IP address and a port number of the callee terminal and launches a call request against the callee terminal. The computer server establishes a voice communication channel between the two terminals. | 10-30-2014 |
