Selective Media Stream Transfer via Application Server
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multimedia session call transfer methods lack customization and cannot meet user requirements for diversified multimedia services, as they transfer all media streams instead of allowing specific media streams to be transferred.
Innovation Solution
A method where an Application Server (AS) instructs User Equipment (UE) to establish specific media streams of a multimedia session, allowing users to request and control the transfer of specific media types between UEs, enabling targeted media stream transfer.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If all media streams are transferred during call transfer, then the transfer process is simple, but the service lacks customization and cannot meet diversified user requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the media stream transfer process by allowing selective transfer of individual media streams (voice, video, data) rather than transferring all media streams together. The AS receives transfer requests that specify particular media stream types, enabling users to customize which media streams are transferred to the target UE while keeping the overall transfer framework relatively simple.
2Adaptability or versatility
If specific media streams are transferred, then user requirements for diversified services are met, but the transfer process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The Application Server (AS) acts as an intermediary that manages the complexity of selective media stream transfer. The AS receives transfer requests from UEs, processes the selection of specific media streams, and coordinates the establishment of media streams between the source and target UEs. This centralizes the complex control logic in the AS, keeping the UE implementations relatively simple while enabling fine-grained media stream selection.

AI summary
A method, Application Server (AS) and User Equipment (UE) for transferring media streams of a multimedia session are provided. A first UE sends a request for transferring media streams of a multimedia session to an AS, where the request carries the ID of a third UE and the media type of media streams requested to be transferred; and the third UE establishes media streams of the media type with a second UE under the control of the AS.
