Abstract

The present disclosure provides a call method and terminal, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The call method includes: receiving or initiating, by a first terminal, a call request to establish a call with a second terminal; detecting, by the first terminal, at least one of the following: a current task being executed by the first terminal, whether there is one or more third terminals capable of assisting in the call, and a current task being executed by a third terminal; and selecting whether a display interface of the first terminal displays a call assisting option according to the current task being executed by the first terminal and/or the current task being executed by the third terminal; wherein the call assisting option is used to prompt a user to select to answer the call with the second terminal through the assistance of the third terminal.

First claim

1 . A call method, comprising:
receiving or initiating, by a first terminal, a call request to establish a call with a second terminal; detecting, by the first terminal, at least one of the following: a current task being executed by the first terminal, whether there is one or more third terminals capable of assisting in the call, and a current task being executed by a third terminal; and selecting whether a display interface of the first terminal displays a call assisting option according to the current task being executed by the first terminal and/or the current task being executed by the third terminal, wherein the call assisting option is used to prompt a user to select to answer the call with the second terminal through the assistance of the third terminal.

2 . The call method according to claim 1 , wherein the selecting whether the display interface of the first terminal displays the call assisting option according to the current task being executed by the first terminal and/or the current task being executed by the third terminal comprises:
controlling a screen of the first terminal to display a first interface when the current task being executed by the first terminal is a first-level task, the first interface comprising an answer option, a reject option and the call assisting option; and controlling the screen of the first terminal to display a second interface when the current task being executed by the first terminal is a second-level task, the second interface comprising an answer option and a reject option, without the call assisting option, wherein a priority of the first-level task is higher than that of the second-level task, and the first terminal comprises any one or more of the following components: a microphone, a speaker, and a display screen.

3 . The call method according to claim 1 , wherein the selecting whether the display interface of the first terminal displays the call assisting option according to the current task being executed by the first terminal and/or the current task being executed by the third terminal comprises:
controlling a screen of the first terminal to display a first interface when the current task being executed by the third terminal is a third-level task, the first interface comprising an answer option, a reject option and the call assisting option; and controlling the screen of the first terminal to display a second interface when the current task being executed by the third terminal is a fourth-level task, the second interface comprising an answer option and a reject option, without the call assisting option, wherein a priority of the fourth-level task is higher than that of the third-level task, and the third terminal comprises any one or more of the following components: a microphone, a speaker, and a display screen.

4 . The call method according to claim 1 , wherein, when there are multiple third terminals, the method further comprises:
acquiring, by the first terminal, position information of the multiple third terminals, and determining a display sequence of multiple call assisting options corresponding to the multiple third terminals on the display interface of the first terminal according to the position information of the multiple third terminals, wherein the multiple third terminals correspond to the multiple call assisting options one to one.

5 . The call method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a first instruction, the first instruction being used to request answering the call with the second terminal through the assistance of the third terminal; wherein the call is implemented among the first terminal, the second terminal and the third terminal in any one of the following ways: collecting and sending, by the first terminal, first voice data to the third terminal for the third terminal to transmit the first voice data to the second terminal, and receiving and playing, by the third terminal, second voice data transmitted by the second terminal; collecting and transmitting, by the third terminal, first voice data to the second terminal, and receiving and playing, by the third terminal, second voice data transmitted by the second terminal; collecting and transmitting, by the third terminal, first voice data to the second terminal, receiving and sending, by the third terminal, second voice data transmitted by the second terminal to the first terminal, and playing, by the first terminal, the second voice data; or collecting and sending, by the first terminal, first voice data to the third terminal for the third terminal to transmit the first voice data to the second terminal, receiving and sending, by the third terminal, second voice data transmitted by the second terminal to the first terminal, and playing, by the first terminal, the second voice data.

6 . The call method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a first instruction, the first instruction being used to request answering the call with the second terminal through the assistance of the third terminal; wherein the call is implemented among the first terminal, the second terminal and the third terminal in any one of the following ways: receiving and transmitting, by the first terminal, first voice data collected by the third terminal to the second terminal, and receiving and sending, by the first terminal, second voice data transmitted by the second terminal to the third terminal for the third terminal to play the second voice data; collecting and transmitting, by the first terminal, first voice data to the second terminal, and receiving and sending, by the first terminal, second voice data transmitted by the second terminal to the third terminal for the third terminal to play the second voice data; or receiving and transmitting, by the first terminal, first voice data collected by the third terminal to the second terminal, and receiving and playing, by the first terminal, second voice data transmitted by the second terminal.

7 . The call method according to claim 5 , wherein, in a process that the call with the second terminal is answered through the assistance of the third terminal, the method further comprises:
detecting, by the first terminal, a distance between the first terminal and the third terminal currently assisting in the call, and controlling a screen of the first terminal to display a switching prompting interface when the distance between the first terminal and the third terminal currently assisting in the call is greater than a first distance threshold, wherein the switching prompting interface is used to prompt switching the third terminal in the call with the second terminal.

8 . The call method according to claim 1 , wherein, in a process that the call with the second terminal is transferred to the third terminal, the method further comprises:
detecting, by the first terminal and/or the third terminal, a quality of voice information in a current call process, the quality of voice information comprising at least one of a data delay, packet loss or jitter, and controlling a screen of the first terminal and/or the third terminal to display a switching prompting interface when the quality of voice information in the current call process is lower than a preset first quality threshold of voice information, wherein the switching prompting interface is used to prompt switching the third terminal in the call with the second terminal.

9 . The call method according to claim 1 , wherein, in a process that the call with the second terminal is answered through the assistance of the third terminal, the method further comprises at least one of the following:
receiving, by the first terminal, a type of the current task being executed by the third terminal, and when the
