Or zoom out, or select two video images on the smartphone side to swap the display areas of the video images on the two smartphones.

Step 406: Collect a video image of the video source device side by using the camera.

Step 407: Send the video image of the video source device side to the at least one terminal by using a video interaction channel with each of the at least one terminal.

Similar to the step 404, when the video source device sends the video image on the video source device side to the terminal, the video source device sends the video image on the video source device side to the cloud server through the video interaction channel between the video source device and the cloud server. The cloud server further pushes the video image of the video source device side to the terminal through a video interaction channel between the cloud server and the terminal.

In order to facilitate the video side of the TV set top box, the camera can also be equipped with a built-in camera. During the video interaction, the set-top box collects the local video image through the built-in camera and sends it to the ongoing video interaction. Various smartphones. At the same time, the TV set-top box can also capture the local video image of the TV set-top box through the built-in camera and project it into a designated area in the display screen of the television or the display, and the designated area can be turned on or off by the remote controller.

It should be noted that the above steps 404-405 and steps 406-407 are two processes that are executed synchronously, and the execution order may be performed simultaneously without any order.
