Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a communication scenario suitable for use with embodiments of the present application.

The communication scenario involves a first electronic device 310, a second electronic device 320, and a third electronic device 330.

A first subscriber identity module (subscriber identity module, SIM) is provided in the first electronic device 310, a second SIM is provided in the second electronic device 320, and a third SIM is provided in the third electronic device 330.

Wherein the first electronic device 310 may be a wristwatch, and the first SIM may be an embedded-SIM (eSIM) provided in the first electronic device 310. The watch and the mobile phone may use the same or different software systems.

The third electronic device 330 may be a mobile phone and the third SIM may be a SIM card inserted in the third electronic device 330. The first SIM and the third SIM may have a primary-card-secondary relationship, e.g., the first SIM in the first electronic device 310 is a secondary card and the third SIM in the third electronic device 330 is a primary card.

Fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart of a communication method.

In S401, the second electronic device 320 transmits a call request.

As shown in fig. 3, when the second electronic device 320 initiates a call request to the third electronic device 330 provided with the third SIM or the first electronic device 310 provided with the first SIM using the second SIM, the first electronic device 310 and the third electronic device 330 may each receive the call request. The user may conduct a turn-on operation on the first electronic device 310 so that the first electronic device 310 may talk with the second electronic device 320 based on the first SIM. Alternatively, the user may perform a turn-on operation on the first electronic device 310 to cause the third electronic device 330 to talk with the second electronic device 320 based on the third SIM.

For example, the user performs exercise outdoors, and the third electronic device 330 is bulky, inconvenient to carry, and is placed indoors by the user. The user can talk with the second electronic device 320 using the first electronic device 310 that is carried around.

Next, an example will be described in which the user performs an on operation on the first electronic component 310.

In S402, the first electronic device 310 acquires a turn-on operation of the user.

In S403, the first electronic device 310 performs a call with the second electronic device 320 according to the on operation.

After S403, the first electronic device 310 has a situation that is unfavorable for the call to proceed.

The condition that the call service is not easy to be carried out can be the equipment reasons such as too low electric quantity and too high battery temperature, or the call mode does not meet the requirements of users. For example, the sound of the first electronic device 310 is too small for the user to hear the conversation content in public or the first electronic device 310 outputs the sound in a play-out manner, and the conversation content relates to the user privacy.

In this case, the user may perform an end-call operation on the first electronic device 310.

In S404, the first electronic device 310 acquires an end call operation of the user.

In S405, the first electronic device 310 ends the call with the second electronic device 320 according to the end call operation.

After S404, the user may establish a new call with the second electronic device 320 using the third electronic device 330. For example, to continue to communicate with the user of the second electronic device 320, the user ends the workout, returns to the room, finds the third electronic device 330, and establishes a new call with the second electronic device 320 using the third electronic device 330.

In S406, the third electronic device 330 acquires a call initiation operation of the user.

The call initiation operation instructs the third electronic device 330 to send a call request to the second electronic device 320.

In S407, the third electronic device 330 transmits a call request to the second electronic device 320 according to the call initiation operation.

Thus, the third electronic device 330 may establish a new call with the second electronic device 320 so that the user continues to communicate with the user of the second electronic device.

In the communication method shown in fig. 4, in the process that the user uses the call between the first electronic device and the second electronic device to communicate with the user of the second electronic device, if the user determines that the first electronic device is not suitable for continuing the call, the user needs to perform more operations, so that the call between the third electronic device and the second electronic device is reestablished, and the user using the third electronic device and the second electronic device continues to communicate, so that the user experience is poor.

In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the application provides a communication method and electronic equipment.

The following describes in detail the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present application with reference to fig. 5 to 8.

Fig. 5 is a schematic flow chart of a communication method provided by an embodiment of the present application.

The communication method shown in fig. 5 is applied to the first electronic device, and includes steps S510 to S520, which are described in detail below, respectively.

Step S510, establishing a telephone conference according to the first call which is in progress with the second electronic equipment, wherein the telephone conference is used for the first electronic equipment, the second electronic equipment and the third electronic equipment to carry out the call.

That is, before proceeding to S510, a first call is established between the first electronic device and the second electronic device.

The first electronic device may determine whether to establish the conference call based on a device state of the first electronic device. For example, the first electronic device may establish a conference call in the event that the power of the first electronic device is below a preset power, or the temperature of the first electronic device exceeds a preset temperature.

Alternatively, the first electronic device may establish the conference call in response to the call switching operation after acquiring the call switching operation of the user.

The user's call switch operation may be an operation on the first electronic device by the user if it is determined that the first electronic device is unfavorable for the first call to proceed.

Under the condition that the first electronic device outputs an electric quantity reminder or a temperature reminder, the user can determine that the first electronic device is unfavorable for the first call to continue. The first electronic device may output an electric quantity alert when the electric quantity is lower than a preset electric quantity. The first electronic device may output a temperature alert if the temperature exceeds a preset temperature.

Or, the user may determine, according to the call content, the call environment, and the like, whether the first electronic device is unfavorable for the first call to proceed.

The third electronic device may be an electronic device that is bound to the first electronic device.

Alternatively, the third electronic device may be an electronic device determined according to a call switching operation of the user. The user's talk switch operation may indicate the third electronic device.

For example, the call switching operation of the user may include an operation in which the user selects the identification of the third electronic device from among the identifications of the at least one electronic device, or the call switching operation may also include an operation in which the user inputs the identification of the third electronic device. The first electronic device may determine the third electronic device based on the identification of the third electronic device.

The call switching operation indicates the third electronic equipment, so that the determining mode of the third electronic equipment is more flexible, and the user experience is improved.

The first call may be a call based on a first SIM in the first electronic device and a second SIM in the second electronic device. That is, the first call may be a base call. The conference call may be established based on the first SIM, the second SIM, and the third SIM.

The electronic equipment is provided with the SIM, and the SIM card interface of the electronic equipment can be connected with the SIM card, or the electronic equipment is embedded with the eSIM, namely the eSIM is in an open state.

The identification of the different electronic device may be a phone number corresponding to the SIM in the different electronic device. The call switching operation of the user may be understood to include an operation in which the user selects a target phone number corresponding to the third SIM by clicking or pressing a plurality of phone numbers, or an operation in which the user inputs a phone number corresponding to the first SIM.

The binding relationship between the third electronic device and the first electronic device may be a binding relationship between a third SIM in the third electronic device and a first SIM in the first electronic device. The binding relationship between the third SIM and the first SIM may be understood as the binding relationship between the phone number corresponding to the third SIM and the phone number corresponding to the first SIM. The binding relationship may be recorded in the first electronic device.

The binding relationship between the third electronic device and the first electronic device may be determined according to whether the first electronic device is the same as the user of the third electronic device. The same electronic device as the user of the first electronic device may have a binding relationship with the first electronic device. In the case where the first call is based on the first SIM and the second SIM, the electronic device that is the same as the user of the first electronic device and provided with the SIM may have a binding relationship with the first electronic device.

The binding relationship between the third electronic device and the first electronic device may also be set according to a user operation. The user may set the electronic device of the object of co-living or working as an electronic device having a binding relationship with the first electronic device.

When the first call is based on the first SIM and the second SIM, the electronic device having a binding relationship with the first electronic device may be an electronic device where the SIM having the same user as the first SIM is located, or an electronic device where the relationship with the first SIM is a relationship between the main card and the sub card. The two SIMs of the relationship of the primary card and the secondary card can be understood as two SIMs sharing the service packages provided by the operator.

In the case where the first call is based on the first SIM and the second SIM, the first electronic device may also establish a second call with the third electronic device before the first electronic device establishes the conference call. The first electronic device may establish a second call with the third electronic device based on the first SIM and the third SIM.

Thus, at S510, the first electronic device can establish a conference call based on the ongoing first call and second call.

The process of establishing the conference call by the first electronic device may include: establishing a second call with the third electronic device based on the first SIM and the third SIM; under the condition that the second session is successfully established, conference initial establishment request information is sent to the server, and the conference initial establishment request information is used for indicating the server to establish an initial telephone conference; and sending adding request information to a server, wherein the adding request information is used for instructing the server to request the second electronic device and the third electronic device to join the initial teleconference.

The server may be used to implement the functionality of an internet protocol (internet protocol, IP) multimedia system (IP multimedia subsystem, IMS) teleconferencing center.

A conference call may be understood as an initial conference call after the first electronic device sends the addition request information.

The first electronic device may send a call request to the third electronic device. And under the condition that the third electronic device acquires the switching-on operation of the user, the second call can be established with the first electronic device. The user's on operation indicates that the user agrees to the establishment of the second call.

The first electronic device may send the addition request information to the server after a preset time period after sending the conference initial establishment request information. Alternatively, the first electronic device may send the addition request information to the server upon receiving the acknowledgement information sent by the server. The confirmation information may be sent by the server in case the initial conference call setup is completed.

The specific flow of the first electronic device establishing the conference call may be seen from the description of fig. 6. The conference initiation setup request information may be carried in the conference initiation request message shown in fig. 6. The acknowledgement information may be carried in an acknowledgement message as shown in fig. 6. In the addition request information, information for instructing the server to join the second electronic device to the teleconference may be carried in a first addition request message shown in fig. 6, and information for instructing the server to join the third electronic device to the teleconference may be carried in a second addition request message shown in fig. 6.

And establishing a telephone conference for the first electronic equipment, the second electronic equipment and the third electronic equipment to carry out conversation by using a telephone conference establishment flow, so that the compatibility of the scheme of the application is improved, and the realization and application of the communication method provided by the embodiment of the application are facilitated. The communication method provided by the embodiment of the application does not need to modify the telephone conference establishment flow, and can reduce the labor cost.

In response to receipt of the addition request information, the server may send first meeting request information to the second electronic device and second meeting request information to the third electronic device. The first conference request information is used for requesting the second electronic device to join the initial conference call, and the second conference request information is used for requesting the third electronic device to join the initial conference call.

The first conference request information may be carried in the first conference request message shown in fig. 6, and the second conference request information may be carried in the second conference request message shown in fig. 6.

A conference call may also be understood as an initial conference call after the server sends the first conference request information and the second conference request information.

Step S520, the conference call is exited.

After the first electronic device exits the teleconference, the second electronic device and the third electronic device can continue to communicate through the teleconference, so that the connection of the first communication is realized.

After the first electronic device sends the addition request information to the server, it is understood that the established teleconference may be used for a call between the first electronic device, the second electronic device, and the third electronic device. Thus, after sending the addition request information to the server, the first electronic device may proceed to S520 to exit the teleconference. For example, the first electronic device may exit the teleconference after a preset time period after transmitting the addition request information.

In some cases, if no electronic device remains in the teleconference, the teleconference ends. In order to avoid the situation that the telephone conference is ended due to unreasonable exit time of the first electronic device, and the second electronic device and the third electronic device cannot communicate through the telephone conference, the first electronic device can determine that the second electronic device or the third electronic device joins the telephone conference, and exit the telephone conference.

The conference call is established by the first electronic device. The first electronic device has support person rights for a conference call.

An electronic device with moderator rights may be referred to as a conference support person, in some cases, if the conference support person exits the teleconference, it may result in the teleconference ending. In order to avoid the situation that the first electronic device exits the teleconference to cause the teleconference to end, and the second electronic device and the third electronic device cannot communicate through the teleconference, the first electronic device may exit the teleconference under the situation that the second electronic device or the third electronic device is determined to join the teleconference and the host authority is transferred to the electronic device joining the teleconference.

After the first electronic device exits the teleconference, the user can use the third electronic device to communicate with the second electronic device through the teleconference. That is, the users of the first and third electronic devices may be the same. In order to facilitate subsequent control of the teleconference by the user, the first electronic device may request transfer of the moderator right to the third electronic device in case the third electronic device joins the teleconference, and exit the teleconference in case the moderator right is transferred to the third electronic device.

And, during the transfer of the presenter's rights, confirmation by the user of the electronic device may be required after the transfer. Transferring the host permission to the third electronic device, and not relying on the perception of the user of the second electronic device on the establishment and progress of the teleconference or the operation of the user of the second electronic device on the second electronic device, so that the stirring of the user of the second electronic device is reduced, and the user experience is improved.

For example, the first electronic device may exit the conference call if no user operation is acquired within a preset period of time in the case where the presenter authority is transferred to the third electronic device. Or, the first electronic device may display a prompt message by using the image user interface when transferring the host authority to the third electronic device, where the prompt message is used to prompt the user to confirm whether the first electronic device exits the teleconference. And under the condition that the confirmation exit operation of the user is acquired or the reverse indication of the user is not acquired after the preset time period, the first electronic equipment can exit the telephone conference.

According to the communication method provided by the embodiment of the application, the first electronic equipment can establish the telephone conference under the condition that the first electronic equipment is not suitable for carrying out the first call and the like, the telephone conference is used for the first electronic equipment, the second electronic equipment and the third electronic equipment to carry out the call, and the first electronic equipment exits the telephone conference under the condition that the third electronic equipment joins the telephone conference. Therefore, the user can utilize the third electronic equipment to continue to communicate with the user using the second electronic equipment, so that the continuous connection of the call is realized, the operation of the user is reduced, and the user experience is improved.

The first addition confirmation message may be understood as a response message to the first addition request message.

In step S610, the first electronic device sends a second addition request message to the server.

The first add request message is used to instruct the server to join the third electronic device to the established conference call. The first addition request message may include a phone number corresponding to the third SIM.

The first addition request may be sent according to a second session. The first electronic device performing the second call may determine, according to the second call, a phone number corresponding to the third SIM.

In step S611, the server sends a second conference request message to the third electronic device.

After the server receives the second addition request message sent by the first electronic device, the server may send a second conference request message to the third electronic device. The second conference request message is used to invite the third electronic device to join the established conference call.

The third electronic device may join the conference call according to the received call establishment request information.

In step S612, the third electronic device sends a second conference confirm message to the server.

After the third electronic device joins the teleconference, the third electronic device may send a confirmation message to the server indicating that the third electronic device joins the teleconference successfully. The second conference confirm message may be understood as a confirm message of the second conference request message.

In step S613, the server sends a second addition confirmation message to the first electronic device.

After receiving the second conference confirm message sent by the third electronic device, the server may send a second add confirm message to the first electronic device. The second add-confirm message is used to indicate that the third electronic device joined the conference call successfully. The second addition confirmation message may be understood as a response message to the second addition request message.

It should be understood that step S606 and step S610 may be performed simultaneously or sequentially. Step S607 and step S611 may be performed simultaneously or sequentially. That is, the first electronic device may invite the second electronic device and the third electronic device to join the conference call at the same time.

After the first electronic device sends the first addition request message and the second addition request message to the server, the server invites the second electronic device and the third electronic device to join the teleconference, so that the teleconference can be used for conversation among the first electronic device, the second electronic device and the third electronic device.

Through all or part of the steps in step S603 to step S613, the establishment of a conference call for the first electronic device, the second electronic device, and the third electronic device to perform a call in the communication method shown in fig. 5 can be achieved.

An example of the communication method shown in fig. 5 is explained below with reference to fig. 7 to 9.

Fig. 7 is a schematic flow chart of a communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

The communication method shown in fig. 7 may include steps S701 to S708, which are described in detail below.

In step S701, the second electronic device sends a call request to the first electronic device based on the second SIM.

The second electronic equipment is provided with a second SIM, the first electronic equipment is provided with a first SIM, and the third electronic equipment is provided with a third SIM.

The first electronic device, the second electronic device, and the third electronic device are different electronic devices.

For example, the first SIM and the third SIM may have a primary card and secondary card relationship.

Under the condition that the first SIM and the third SIM have the relation of the main card and the auxiliary card, the second electronic device can receive the call request sent by the second electronic device based on the call request sent by the second SIM to the first SIM or the call request sent by the second electronic device based on the second SIM to the third SIM, namely, the call request sent by the second electronic device to the first electronic device where the first SIM is located and the call request sent by the third electronic device where the third SIM has the relation of the main card and the auxiliary card with the first SIM, namely, the first electronic device where the first SIM is located and the third electronic device where the third SIM is located can receive the call request sent by the second electronic device, and the user is notified in a ringing or vibrating mode.

The first electronic device and the third electronic device may be different electronic devices belonging to the same user. The user may select the first electronic device or the third electronic device to establish a call with the second electronic device, so that the user may communicate with the user of the second electronic device using the selected electronic device.

In the following, an example will be described in which a user selects a first electronic device from the first electronic device and the third electronic device, and a call is established between the first electronic device and the second electronic device.

In step S702, the first electronic device receives a turn-on operation of a user.

In step S703, the first electronic device starts a first call with the second electronic device according to the on operation.

After step S703, the first electronic device is not adapted to continue the first call.

In the case where the first electronic device determines that it is not appropriate to continue the first call, S705 may be performed.

For example, the first electronic device may output the alert information if it is determined that the first communication is not suitable to continue. The output reminding information is used for reminding the user that the first electronic equipment is not suitable for continuing the first call. In the case where the user reverse instruction is not received, the first electronic device may proceed to S705.

Alternatively, the user may determine that the first electronic device is not suitable for continuing the first call.

Under the condition that the user obtains the reminding information output by the first electronic equipment under the conditions of excessively low electric quantity, excessively high temperature and the like, the first electronic equipment can be determined to be unsuitable for continuing the first call.

The user may also determine that the first electronic device is not suitable for continuing the first call in a case where the voice of the first electronic device is too small to cause the user to hear the call content in a public place or the first electronic device outputs the voice in a manner of being put aside while the call content relates to user privacy, or the like.

In the case that the user determines that the first electronic device is not suitable for continuing the first call, the user may perform a call switching operation on the first electronic device.

In step S704, the first electronic device obtains a call switching operation.

If the first electronic device is a cellular phone, the first electronic device may display a graphical user interface (graphical user interface, GUI) as shown in fig. 8 (a) using a display screen during the first pass of the first electronic device with the second electronic device. The GUI is a call interface 810 of the first electronic device. The call switch operation may be the user clicking on a call switch icon 811 on the call interface 810. In the case that only one SIM bound to the first SIM is recorded in the first electronic device, the SIM bound to the first SIM is the third SIM. When the first electronic device detects a call switching operation in which the user clicks the call switching icon 811, S705 may be performed.

It should be appreciated that the location of the call switch icon 811 in the call interface 810 may be fixed. Alternatively, the call changeover icon 811 may be moved in the call interface 810 with a sliding operation by the user. That is, the session switch icon 811 may be provided in a floating manner, and the session switch icon 811 may also be referred to as a "connection capsule".

If the first electronic device is a wristwatch, the first electronic device may display a GUI as shown in (b) of fig. 8 using the display screen during the first pass of the first electronic device with the second electronic device. The GUI is a call interface 820 of the first electronic device. The call switch operation may be the user clicking on the call switch icon 821 on the call interface 820. In the case that only one SIM bound to the first SIM is recorded in the first electronic device, the SIM bound to the first SIM is the third SIM. When the first electronic device detects a call switching operation in which the user clicks the call switching icon 821, S705 may be performed.

The third SIM bound to the first SIM may be any SIM other than the first SIM, e.g., the first SIM and the third SIM may have a primary card to secondary card relationship.

The following describes an example in which the first electronic device is a mobile phone.

The first electronic device may also display a call selection interface in case the acquisition user clicks the call switch icon 811 on the call interface 810. The GUI shown in fig. 8 (c) is a call selection interface 830. The call selection interface 830 includes a plurality of contact icons 831 through 833, with different contact icons corresponding to different telephone numbers. Different telephone numbers correspond to different SIMs. When the first electronic device detects that the user clicks one of the contact icons, it may be determined that the phone number corresponding to the contact icon clicked by the user is the phone number corresponding to the third SIM.

That is, the call switching operation may include an operation in which the user clicks the call switching icon 811 on the call interface 810 and an operation in which the user clicks one of the contact icons in the call selection interface 830.

The phone numbers corresponding to the plurality of contact icons 831 through 833 may be all or part of the phone numbers stored in the address book of the first electronic device. Alternatively, SIMs corresponding to the plurality of contact icons 831 through 833 in the call selection interface 830 may be SIMs bound to the first SIM.

The call selection interface 830 may also include an input icon 834. In the event that the first electronic device detects a user clicking on the input icon 834, the first electronic device may display an input interface 840 as shown in fig. 8 (d).

The input interface 840 includes a keyboard 841, the keyboard 841 including a plurality of symbol icons, each symbol icon corresponding to a different number symbol. The first electronic device may determine, according to the plurality of symbol icons clicked by the user and the order of clicking, a phone number corresponding to the third SIM input by the user. The phone number corresponding to the third SIM includes a plurality of digital symbols, where an i-th digital symbol of the plurality of digital symbols may be a digital symbol corresponding to an i-th symbol icon clicked by the user, and i is a positive integer.

The input interface 840 may also include an input symbol icon 842 and a determination icon 843. The input symbol icon 842 records at least one number symbol, wherein the i-th number symbol may be the number symbol corresponding to the i-th symbol icon of the user clicking the keyboard 841. When the first electronic device detects that the user clicks the ok icon 843, the first electronic device may use the plurality of digital symbols recorded by the input symbol icon 842 as the phone number corresponding to the third SIM.

That is, the call switching operation may include an operation in which the user clicks the call switching icon 811 on the call interface 810, an operation in which the user clicks the call selection interface 830 to input the icon 834, an operation in which the user clicks a plurality of symbol icons in the keyboard 841 in the input interface 840, and an operation in which the user clicks the determination icon 843.

After acquiring the call switching operation, the first electronic device may proceed to S705.

In step S705, the first electronic device establishes a teleconference according to the first call, where the teleconference is used for the first electronic device, the second electronic device, and the third electronic device to perform a multi-person session.

In the process of the first electronic device making a first call with the second electronic device, the process of establishing a teleconference for the first electronic device, the second electronic device, and the third electronic device making a call may be described with reference to fig. 6.

In the case where the first electronic device confirms that the third electronic device joins the teleconference, the first electronic device may proceed to S706 and S707.

In step S706, the first electronic device transfers the moderator right to the third electronic device.

The moderator rights can also be understood as rights to manage the teleconference. The host rights include inviting other electronic devices to join the teleconference, forcing other electronic devices in the teleconference to exit the teleconference, ending the teleconference, controlling the other electronic devices in the teleconference to mute, setting the rights of other electronic devices to invite to join the teleconference, and the like.

The first electronic device may send a moderator right transfer request message to the server, the moderator right transfer request message being used to instruct the server to transfer the support right to the third electronic device. The server is used for providing services for the teleconference. In response to receipt of the moderator permission transfer request information, the server may transfer the moderator permission to the third electronic device.

After transferring the presenter's right to the third electronic device, the server may also send presenter's right transfer confirmation information to all or part of the electronic devices in the conference call, the presenter's right transfer confirmation information indicating that the presenter's right has been transferred to the third electronic device.

After determining that the moderator right is transferred to the third electronic device, the first electronic device may proceed to S707.

In some embodiments, after determining the preset duration for which the moderator rights are transferred to the third electronic device, the first electronic device may proceed to S707.

In other embodiments, if the first electronic device does not acquire the operation of the first electronic device by the user within the preset time period for determining that the presenter' S right is transferred to the third electronic device, the first electronic device may proceed to S707.

In still other embodiments, in the event that a transfer of moderator rights to the third electronic device is determined, the first electronic device may display a GUI, i.e., a talk alert interface 850, as shown in fig. 8 (e). The call alert interface 850 includes a reminder information 851, a confirmation icon 852, and a cancel icon 853. The prompt 851 is used to prompt the user to confirm whether the first electronic device exits the teleconference.

In a case where the first electronic device acquires an operation of the user clicking the confirm icon 852, the first electronic device may proceed to S707. In the case where the first electronic device acquires the operation of the user clicking the cancel icon 853, the first electronic device may not proceed with S707.

For example, if the first electronic device does not acquire the user' S click operation on the confirm icon 852 or the cancel icon 853 within the preset time period after the first electronic device displays the call alert interface 850, the first electronic device may proceed to S707.

In step S707, the first electronic device exits the conference call.

After the first electronic device exits the teleconference, the teleconference may be used for the third electronic device to communicate with the second electronic device.

Through S701 to S707, in the case that there is a first call between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, if there is a situation that the first electronic device does not utilize the call, the user may establish a conference call with the first electronic device, and the first electronic device may exit the conference call in the case that the third electronic device joins the conference call, so that the user may utilize the third electronic device to continue to communicate with the user of the second electronic device, so that the user operation is simple, and the user experience is improved.

Similar to SIM-based calls, during a voice over IP (voice over internet protocol, VOIP) call between two electronic devices, there may be situations where one electronic device is not suitable to continue the VOIP call.

For example, in a process that the first electronic device performs a VOIP call with the second electronic device, the second electronic device shares a screen, that is, the second electronic device sends a desktop image to the first electronic device. In the case where the display screen of the first electronic device is small, the user may not be able to see the desktop image sent by the second electronic device on the first electronic device.

Fig. 9 shows a schematic flow chart of a communication method. The method describes the process of VOIP call of the user. The method shown in fig. 9 includes steps S901 to S909.

In step S901, a user clicks a VOIP client icon installed on a first electronic device.

In step S902, the first electronic device displays a VOIP interface according to a click operation of the user on the VOIP client icon.

In step S903, the user inputs conference information on the VOIP interface.

The meeting information includes a meeting number and a meeting password.

In step S904, the first electronic device sends conference information to the VOIP server.

In step S905, the VOIP server joins the first electronic device to the VOIP conference according to the conference information.

In step S906, the VOIP server sends a desktop image shared by the second electronic device in the VOIP conference to the first electronic device.

In step S907, the first electronic device displays the received desktop image using the VOIP interface.

If the display of the first electronic device is small, the user cannot view a clear desktop image. The user may perform a logout conference operation on the first electronic device.

In step S908, the user performs a conference exit operation on the VOIP interface.

In step S909, the first electronic device exits the VOIP conference according to the user' S conference exit operation.

Thereafter, the user may enter meeting information on other electronic devices that join the VOIP meeting so that the user may view the shared desktop image with the other electronic devices.

Alternatively, in the communication scenario illustrated in fig. 10, there is a communication connection between the first electronic device 1210 and the third electronic device 1230. In the process of performing the VOIP call between the first electronic device 1210 and the second electronic device 1220, the first electronic device 1210 may transfer the current VOIP call to the third electronic device 1230, and serve as an intermediate device for performing the VOIP call between the third electronic device 1230 and the second electronic device 1220 to transfer the data such as audio and video of the VOIP call.

Under the condition that the electric quantity of the first electronic equipment is low, the first electronic equipment can not perform data forwarding of the VOIP call. In this case, the user may control the certain electronic device to exit the VOIP call, and then input information of the VOIP call on the third electronic device, thereby controlling the third electronic device to join the VOIP call. The user operation is complicated.

In order to solve the problems, the embodiment of the application provides a communication method which can reduce the complexity of user operation and improve the user experience.

Fig. 11 is a schematic flow chart of a communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The communication method shown in fig. 11 includes steps S1001 to S1007.

In step S1001, the first electronic device performs a VOIP call with the second electronic device.

In the process of VOIP call, the second electronic equipment can share the desktop. Thus, the first electronic device may receive and display a desktop image of the second electronic device. If the display screen of the first electronic device is smaller, and a clear image cannot be seen on the first electronic device, a user of the first electronic device can determine that the first electronic device is not suitable for continuing the VOIP call.

If the power of the first electronic device is too low and is lower than the preset power, the user can also determine that the first electronic device is not suitable for continuing the VOIP call. Under the condition that the electric quantity of the first electronic equipment is lower than the preset electric quantity, the first electronic equipment can output electric quantity reminding information so as to inform a user that the electric quantity of the first electronic equipment is too low.

And under the condition that the user determines that the first electronic device is not suitable for continuing the VOIP call, the user can perform VOIP switching operation on the first electronic device.

In step S1002, the first electronic device obtains a VOIP switching operation of the user.

In the process of making a VOIP call, the first electronic device may display a GUI as shown in (a) of fig. 12 using a display. The GUI is a VOIP interface 1110 of the first electronic device. VOIP interface 1110 may include VOIP switch icon 1111. In the event that the user determines that the first electronic device is not suitable for continuing the VOIP call, the user may click on the VOIP switch icon 1111.

In some embodiments, after obtaining the operation of the user clicking the VOIP switching icon 1111, the first electronic device may display at least one device icon 1121 to 1123 in the VOIP interface 1110 as shown in (b) in fig. 12. Different electronic device identifiers are displayed in different device icons, and the different electronic device identifiers are used for representing different electronic devices. That is, different device icons correspond to different electronic devices. The plurality of electronic devices corresponding to the at least one device icon 1121 through 1123 are each in communication with the first electronic device.

The communication connection between the first electronic device and the other electronic devices may be implemented using one or more of bluetooth, wi-Fi, USB, wireless ad hoc network technology, and the like.

The Bluetooth technology is a global standard for wireless data and voice communication, uses ultra-high frequency (ultra high frequency, UHF) radio waves in the industrial scientific medical (industrial scientific medical, ISM) band of 2.4-2.485 gigahertz (GHz), and is a radio technology supporting short-distance communication (generally within 10 m) of equipment. Bluetooth technology includes bluetooth low energy (bluetooth low energy, BLE), serial communication protocol (serial port profile, SPP), and the like.

Wi-Fi, also known as "mobile hotspot," is a wireless networking technology that, in effect, converts wired network signals into wireless signals, using wireless routers for use by electronic devices supporting the technology.

USB is a serial bus standard, and is also a technical specification of an input/output interface. USB is an external bus standard that standardizes the connection and communication of electronic devices to external devices. The USB interface has a hot plug function. The USB interface may connect to a variety of peripherals. The USB has the advantages of high transmission speed, convenient use, hot plug support, flexible connection, independent power supply and the like, and is widely applied.

The wireless ad hoc network technology can meet a great deal of information interaction between devices. Some wireless ad hoc network technologies can be spread farther than other wireless modes under the same power consumption condition, and low power consumption and long-distance unification are realized.

In other embodiments, after obtaining the user click on the VOIP switch icon 1111, the first electronic device may determine at least one candidate electronic device among at least one electronic device in communication with the first electronic device, the candidate electronic device being the same electronic device as the user of the first electronic device. The candidate electronic device may be the same as the user of the first electronic device and may be the same as an account logged on the first electronic device.

That is, after the operation of clicking the VOIP switching icon 1111 by the user is acquired, the first electronic device searches for the electronic devices connected to the first electronic device, and performs information interaction with each electronic device through the communication connection with the electronic device, so as to determine whether the account registered on the electronic device is the same as the account registered on the first electronic device. Thus, the first electronic device may determine at least one candidate electronic device that is the same as the user of the first electronic device among the at least one electronic devices that are in communicative connection with the first electronic device.

After determining the at least one candidate electronic device, the first electronic device may display at least one device icon 1121 through 1123 at the VOIP interface 1110. Different device icons correspond to different candidate electronic devices. The user may click on one of the device icons.

After the first electronic device obtains the operation of clicking a certain device icon by a user, the electronic device corresponding to the certain device icon can be used as a third electronic device.

The VOIP switching operation may include an operation of clicking the VOIP switching icon 1111 and an operation of clicking the device icon by the user.

The user VOIP switching operation is used for indicating the first electronic equipment to send the communication information of the VOIP communication to the third electronic equipment.

In step S1003, the first electronic device determines a third electronic device.

The first electronic device may determine the third electronic device according to a VOIP switching operation of the user.

In the case where the VOIP call is a multi-person call, the first electronic device may proceed with S1005.

In the case where the VOIP call is a two-person call, the first electronic device may perform S1004.

In step S1004, the first electronic device converts the VOIP call from a two-person call to a multi-person call.

The VOIP server is used for providing service for the VOIP call. The first electronic device may send a multi-person call request message to the VOIP server to request the VOIP server to convert the VOIP call to a multi-person call.

After step S1004, the first electronic device may perform S1005.

In step S1005, the first electronic device sends VOIP request information to the third electronic device.

The VOIP request information is used for requesting the third electronic equipment to join the VOIP call. The VOIP request information comprises call information of the VOIP call. For example, the call information of the VOIP call may include a conference number and a password of the VOIP call. The conference number may be understood as a conference Identification (ID) or a conference access code.

In step S1006, the third electronic device sends the joining request information to the VOIP server.

The joining request information is used for requesting joining the VOIP call. The join request information may include call information for the VOIP call.

The server can be operated with a VOIP server, and the electronic equipment can be provided with a VOIP client. A VOIP client installed on an electronic device may run on the electronic device. A VOIP client may be understood as an application with voice conferencing capabilities.

The VOIP server is used for providing service for VOIP calls between a plurality of electronic devices running with the VOIP client. The first electronic device, the second electronic device and the third electronic device can be provided with VOIP clients.

The VOIP request message may also include client information indicating the VOIP client. Thus, the third electronic device may send the join request information to the server using the VOIP client indicated by the client information.

At S1002, after the first electronic device obtains the operation of clicking the VOIP switching icon 1111 by the user, each of the electronic devices corresponding to the at least one device icons 1121 to 1123 displayed by the first electronic device using the VOIP interface 1110 may be an electronic device installed with a VOIP client.

That is, after the operation of clicking the VOIP switching icon 1111 by the user is acquired, the first electronic device may search for at least one electronic device connected to the first electronic device, and perform information interaction with the electronic device through a communication connection with each electronic device, to determine whether a VOIP client is installed in the electronic device. The first electronic device may use, as a candidate electronic device, an electronic device having a VOIP client installed in at least one electronic device connected to the first electronic device. After determining the at least one candidate electronic device, the first electronic device may display at least one device icon 1121 through 1123 at the VOIP interface 1110. Different device icons correspond to different candidate electronic devices.

The candidate electronic device may also be an electronic device having a communication connection with the first electronic device, the same as the user of the first electronic device, and having a VOIP client installed, for example.

The account in which the electronic device logs in can also be understood as the account in which the VOIP client of the electronic device logs in.

After proceeding to S1005, the first electronic apparatus may proceed to S1007. Alternatively, the first electronic device may perform S1007 if it is determined that the third electronic device joins the VOIP call.

For example, the account that the first electronic device is logged in to and the account that the third electronic device is logged in to may be the same or different. In the process of joining the VOIP call, each electronic device in the VOIP call can send the device identifier of the electronic device and the account identifier of the account in which the electronic device logs in to the VOIP server. For example, the VOIP request information sent by the third electronic device to the VOIP server may include a device identifier of the third electronic device and an account identifier of an account on which the third electronic device logs.

The VOIP server can obtain the device identification and logged-in account of each electronic device in the VOIP call. Therefore, under the condition that the account registered by the first electronic device and the third electronic device is the same, the VOIP server can sense that different electronic devices with the same account exist in the VOIP call.

Step S1007, the first electronic device exits the VOIP call.

If the first electronic device has the presenter authority of the VOIP call, the first electronic device can transfer the presenter authority to the second electronic device or the third electronic device. After the first electronic device transfers the host authority to the second electronic device or the third electronic device, the first electronic device may perform S1007, and exit the VOIP call.

Under the condition that the first electronic device converts the VOIP call from the double call to the multi-call, the first electronic device can have the host authority. The moderator's rights can also be understood as rights to manage VOIP calls.

Through steps S1001 to S1007, in the process of the first electronic device and the second electronic device performing the VOIP call, the call information of the VOIP call is sent to the third electronic device, and the VOIP call is exited. Therefore, under the condition that the third electronic equipment joins the VOIP call according to the call information of the VOIP call, the user of the first electronic equipment can continue to communicate with the user of the second electronic equipment in the VOIP call by using the third electronic equipment, and the connection of the VOIP call is realized.
