In this step, the mobile terminal records the mobile TV program according to the prior art, and encodes the decoded YUV (or RGB) image and the PCM audio data into MPEG video files, and saves the video files to a flash memory or an SD card.

Step 502: Open the call module and start the call.

In this step, the type of the call can be a voice call or a video call.

Step 503: The call ends, the recording of the mobile TV program is stopped, the TV image and the accompanying sound are re-presented on the screen and the speaker (or the earphone), and the process ends.

When the user selects to answer the voice call while playing the mobile TV program, the operation of the mobile terminal is as shown in FIG. 6, and includes the following steps:

Step 601: The mobile terminal continues to play the mobile TV, and the output volume of the mobile TV program is weakened, so as not to affect the user's call; In this step, the mobile terminal reduces the output volume of the mobile TV program to the volume level set by the user in advance, and of course, the output volume of the mobile terminal is also freely adjustable by the user.

Step 602: The phone is connected, but the normal call interface is not presented. If the other party initiates a video call, the mobile terminal drops the call type to a voice call, that is, converts to a normal voice call, and does not transmit an image;

Among them, the output volume of the mobile TV program (ie, the TV sound) and the gain of the downlink voice during the call can be separately controlled (controlled by the digital gain controller and the analog gain controller respectively in FIG. 2), or can be synchronously controlled (through the figure) 2 in the output gain controller control).

In a preferred embodiment, when the user selects to answer the call while playing the mobile TV, the mobile terminal defaults the voice output device to the currently selected output device of the user, that is, if the user is currently using the speaker to listen to the television sound, the call voice is also Output from the speaker; If the user is currently listening to the TV sound with headphones, the call voice is also output from the headphone channel.

Step 603: After the call ends, the mobile terminal restores the volume of the mobile TV to the original volume value. Of course, the user can manually adjust the volume to end the process.

In other embodiments, any combination of the above response options may also be selected. For example, the response option e and the response option d may be combined, that is, the television program is recorded while the TV audio volume is lowered, so that the user At the beginning of the call, I feel that the content of the phone is not important. If you choose to continue playing the TV program on the mobile phone, but the content of the call may be more important, the user can use the combination of the answer option e and the answer option d.

As can be seen from the above embodiments, the technical solution of the present invention enables the user to simultaneously answer the call while watching the mobile TV program, so as not to miss the phone and the wonderful program, thereby improving the user experience.

The invention may, of course, be embodied in various other embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
