Video Media Playback in Multimedia Ring Back Tone Services
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The low popularity of video calls due to high costs and user habits hinders the widespread adoption of video coloring ring back tones, making it difficult to achieve a good popularization effect for multimedia services.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for playing video media in multimedia coloring ring back tones, which involves receiving an audio call request, acquiring and playing video media information, and using specific message protocols (such as 183, UPDATE, and 200 OK messages) to manage video media playback on both network and terminal sides, allowing for customizable video media playback during calls.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If video coloring ring back tone service is promoted, then multimedia service richness is improved, but user adoption rate deteriorates due to high costs and unfamiliar habits
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the copying principle by reusing the成熟的 audio coloring ring back tone service framework and applying it to video services. The system copies the audio service architecture, signaling protocols, and business logic, adapting them for video content delivery. This allows video coloring ring back tone to leverage existing infrastructure and user familiarity with ring back tone services, reducing adoption barriers while enriching multimedia capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements universality by designing a multi-functional system that can handle both audio and video coloring ring back tone services through the same technical framework. The network side device and terminal device can universally process different media types (audio/video) using unified protocols and mechanisms, making the service adaptable to various multimedia scenarios while maintaining consistent user experience and simplifying deployment
2Adaptability or versatility
If video media playback is implemented in coloring ring back tone, then service functionality is improved, but system complexity increases due to additional protocol management
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the video media playback functionality into distinct modular components: media acquisition module, media playback module, and protocol management module. The signaling process is segmented into specific message types (183 message for early media indication, UPDATE message for media parameter negotiation, 200 OK message for confirmation). This modular segmentation allows each component to be independently managed and optimized, reducing overall system complexity while enhancing service functionality
3Ease of operation
If video media is played during audio calls, then user experience is improved, but network configuration requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a network side device as an intermediary that mediates between the terminal devices and the media content delivery. The network side device acquires video media information, manages the playback timing, and coordinates the signaling messages (183, UPDATE, 200 OK) to enable video playback during audio calls. This intermediary approach simplifies the configuration requirements for terminal devices while enabling enhanced user experience through integrated audio-video services
