Abstract

Multi-party call control method and device, and a multi-pass terminal are provided. The method includes: setting up calls with at least two terminals, respectively; and transmitting service data of at least one of the at least two terminals to other terminal of the at least two terminals respectively, or informing a network to transmit service data of at least one of the at least two terminals to other terminal of the at least two terminals respectively. Compared with the existing techniques, in embodiments of the present disclosure, all the remote terminals in the multi-party call may be flexibly controlled according to different session demands and actions.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A multi-party call control method, comprising:
setting up calls with at least two terminals, respectively; and transmitting service data of at least one of the at least two terminals to other terminal of the at least two terminals respectively, or informing a network to transmit service data of at least one of the at least two terminals to other terminal of the at least two terminals respectively.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein transmitting service data of at least one of the at least two terminals to other terminal of the at least two terminals respectively comprises:
for each of the at least two terminals, processing the service data of the terminal and forwarding the processed service data to other terminal of the at least two terminals; or for each of the at least two terminals, directly forwarding the service data of the terminal to other terminal of the at least two terminals.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein informing a network to transmit service data of at least one of the at least two terminals to other terminal of the at least two terminals respectively comprises:
for each of the at least two terminals, informing the network to process the service data of the terminal and forward the processed service data to other terminal of the at least two terminals; or for each of the at least two terminals, informing the network to directly forward the service data of the terminal to other terminal of the at least two terminals.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein setting up calls with at least two terminals, respectively comprises: during the set-up of a new call among the calls, a call among the calls which has been set up is in an activated state.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the calls are based on a radio network connection.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the calls are VoLTE service or VoWiFi service.

7 . A multi-party call control device, comprising:
a second call setting up circuitry configured to set up calls with at least two terminals, respectively; and a transmitting circuitry configured to: transmit service data of at least one of the at least two terminals to other terminal of the at least two terminals respectively, or inform a network to transmit service data of at least one of the at least two terminals to other terminal of the at least two terminals respectively.

8 . The device according to claim 7 , wherein the transmitting circuitry is configured to:
for each of the at least two terminals, process the service data of the terminal and forward the processed service data to other terminal of the at least two terminals; or for each of the at least two terminals, directly forward the service data of the terminal to other terminal of the at least two terminals.

9 . The device according to claim 7 , wherein the transmitting circuitry is configured to:
for each of the at least two terminals, inform the network to process the service data of the terminal and forward the processed service data to other terminal of the at least two terminals; or for each of the at least two terminals, inform the network to directly forward the service data of the terminal to other terminal of the at least two terminals.

10 . The device according to claim 8 , wherein the second call setting up circuitry is configured to: during the set-up of a new call among the calls, control a call among the calls which has been set up to be in an activated state, and control the at least two terminals not to perform service data interaction.

11 . The device according to claim 8 , wherein the calls are based on a radio network connection.

12 . The device according to claim 8 , wherein the calls are VoLTE service or VoWiFi service.

13 . A multi-pass terminal comprising a multi-party call control device, wherein the multi-party call control device comprises:
a second call setting up circuitry configured to set up calls with at least two terminals, respectively; and a transmitting circuitry configured to: transmit service data of at least one of the at least two terminals to other terminal of the at least two terminals respectively, or inform a network to transmit service data of at least one of the at least two terminals to other terminal of the at least two terminals respectively.

14 . The multi-pass terminal according to claim 13 , wherein the transmitting circuitry is configured to:
for each of the at least two terminals, process the service data of the terminal and forward the processed service data to other terminal of the at least two terminals; or for each of the at least two terminals, directly forward the service data of the terminal to other terminal of the at least two terminals.

15 . The multi-pass terminal according to claim 13 , wherein the transmitting circuitry is configured to:
for each of the at least two terminals, inform the network to process the service data of the terminal and forward the processed service data to other terminal of the at least two terminals; or for each of the at least two terminals, inform the network to directly forward the service data of the terminal to other terminal of the at least two terminals.

16 . The multi-pass terminal according to claim 13 , wherein the second call setting up circuitry is configured to: during the set-up of a new call among the calls, control a call among the calls which has been set up to be in an activated state, and control the at least two terminals not to perform service data interaction.

17 . The multi-pass terminal according to claim 14 , wherein the calls are based on a radio network connection.

18 . The multi-pass terminal according to claim 14 , wherein the calls are VoLTE service or VoWiFi service.
