Abstract

A method of a video call between a first user and a second user is disclosed. The method includes initiating the video call between a first terminal associated with the first user and a second terminal associated with the second user, and determining languages of the first user and the second user who participate in the video call. The method further includes, in case the first user's language is a first language and the second user's language is a second language different from the first language, displaying a transliteration of a greeting of the second language in the first language.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of a video call, the method comprising:
initiating a video call, at a first terminal associated with a first user, with a second terminal associated with a second user; and
in response to a first language corresponding to the first user being different from a second language corresponding to the second user:
displaying, on the first terminal, a first text display area including a first set of characters of the first language and a second set of characters of the first language, wherein the first set of characters of the first language is a transliteration of at least one word of the second language, and the second set of characters of the first language is a translation of the at least one word of the second language; and
displaying, on the second terminal, a second text display area including a first set of characters of the second language and a second set of characters of the second language, wherein the first set of characters of the second language is a transliteration of at least one word of the first language, and the second set of characters of the second language is a translation of the at least one word of the first language.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one word of the second language includes a greeting in the second language.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first language corresponding to the first user is identified based on a language setting of the first terminal.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying, on the first terminal, a third set of characters of the first language guiding the first user to vocally read the first set of characters of the first language.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
transmitting, to the second terminal, a video stream associated with the first user in response to the first user vocally reading the first set of characters of the first language.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first set of characters of the first language are displayed on the first terminal when the video call starts.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first set of characters of the first language are displayed over at least one of a video associated with the first user and a video associated with the second user.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first language corresponding to the first user is identified based on processing information related to a received voice of the first user.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first language corresponding to the first user is identified based on a location of the first terminal.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting, to at least one server, data including at least one of a received voice of the first user, a language setting of the first terminal, and information on a region in which the first terminal is located; and
receiving, from the at least one server, information on the first language of the first user.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting, to the second terminal, data including at least one of a received voice of the first user, a language setting of the first terminal, and information on a region in which the first terminal is located; and
receiving, from the second terminal, information on the first language of the first user.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying the first language corresponding to the first user;
receiving, from the second terminal, a voice of the second user;
processing, at the first terminal, the voice to identify the second language of the second user; and
acquiring, at the first terminal, the first set of characters of the first language based on the identified first language and a result of the processed voice.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first set of characters of the first language are retrieved from a database of the first terminal or a server, and wherein the database includes transliterations of the at least one word of the second language in a plurality of languages including the first language.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first set of characters of the first language and the second set of characters of the first language are separated from each other by a space placed between the first set of characters of the first language and the second set of characters of the first language.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first set of characters of the first language and the second set of characters of the first language are separated from each other by a punctuation mark placed between the first set of characters of the first language and the second set of characters of the first language, the punctuation mark comprising a quotation mark.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing computer-executable instructions, the computer-executable instructions configured to cause a computing device having at least one processor and at least one memory to perform a method of a video call, the method comprising:
initiating a video call, at a first terminal associated with a first user, with a second terminal associated with a second user; and
in response to a first language corresponding to the first user being different from a second language corresponding to the second user:
displaying, on the first terminal, a first text display area including a first set of characters of the first language and a second set of characters of the first language, wherein the first set of characters of the first language is a transliteration of at least one word of the second language, and the second set of characters of the first language is a translation of the at least one word of the second language; and
displaying, on the second terminal, a second text display area including a first set of characters of the second language and a second set of characters of the second language, wherein the first set of characters of the second language is a transliteration of at least one word of the first language, and the second set of characters of the second language is a translation of the at least one word of the first language.

17. A first terminal comprising:
a display; and
at least one processor being in data communication with the display and configured to:
initiate a video call with a second terminal associated with a second user, and
in response to a first language corresponding to a first user being different from a second language corresponding to the second user, display, on the display, a first text display area including a first set of characters of the first language and a second set of characters of the first language, wherein the first set of characters of the first language is a transliteration of at least one word of the second language and the second set of characters of the first language is a translation of the at least one word of the second language, wherein the second terminal displays a second text display area including a first set of characters of the second language and a second set of characters of the second language, wherein the first set of characters of the second language is a transliteration of at least one word of the first language, and the second set of characters of the second language is a translation of the at least one word of the first language.

18. A method of a video call between a first user and a second user at a server, the method comprising:
coordinating to establish the video call between a first terminal associated with the first user and a second terminal associated with the second user; and
in response to a
