(1) homeTalking: after the first mobile terminal enters a call, the first mobile terminal joins a unique room mapped by the unique session id session1, a video call is carried out in the room, and a heartbeat message is polled to the url1 address of the CSE, so that the call process is ensured to be continuously carried out.

(2) homeTalking: after the intelligent television enters a call, the intelligent television joins the unique room mapped by the unique session id session1, a video call is carried out in the room, and a heartbeat message is polled to the url1 address of the CSE, so that the call process is ensured to be continuously carried out.

(3) And (5) Check: and the second mobile terminal sends a request to the API, wherein the request carries the deviceid and the customerid of the first mobile terminal, and the deviceid and the customerid of the intelligent television.

(4) Ret OK: the API checks whether the deviceid of the customerid of the smart tv authorizes the deviceid video call of the customerid of the second mobile terminal. If authorized, an ok message is returned. If not, returning unauthorized information. If the return message is not authorized, the call is ended. If ok information is returned, step (5) is performed.

(5) A homeInvite: and the second mobile terminal initiates a call request to the CSR of the video call.

(6) A homeInvite: the CSR receives the call request, selects a CSE, and forwards the call request to the CSE.

(7) Task: the CSE receives the call request, distributes a unique session id session2 of the call, and sends a push request to the message platform, wherein the push request carries the unique session id session2, the url2 address of the CSE, the customerid of the smart television, the deviceid and customerid of the second mobile terminal, and the calling number.

(8) Response: the CSE returns information to the CSR carrying the unique session id session2 and the url2 address of the CSE.

(9) Response: and the CSR forwards the information returned by the CSE to the second mobile terminal.

(15) homeRing msg: the second mobile terminal receives the url2 address of the CSE and thereafter polls the CSE waiting for the smart tv to listen.

(10) Message: and the message platform sends the message to the deviceid corresponding to the customer of the called intelligent television.

(11) Receive task: the message platform returns a message pushing result to the CSE, and the message pushing result comprises whether the message is pushed to the called party. And if the intelligent television is not on line, the CSE ends the call. The second mobile terminal gets a reply of the end of the call in the poll of (15) (homeRing msg). The second mobile terminal ends the call.

(12) And (5) Check: and the intelligent television sends a request to the API, wherein the request carries the deviceid and the customerid of the intelligent television, and the deviceid and the customerid of the second mobile terminal.

(13) Ret OK: the API checks whether the deviceid of the customerid of the second mobile terminal is authorized by the deviceid of the customerid of the called smart tv. If authorized, ok information is returned. If not, returning unauthorized information.

(14) homeRing is _ busy =1 busy _ type =1 msg: the intelligent television acquires the unique session id session2, the url2 address of the CSE, the customerid of the intelligent television, the deviceid and customerid of the second mobile terminal and the calling number from message pushing. If not, sending unauthorized information to the CSE. The second mobile terminal is replied to the call unauthorized in the polling at (15). The second mobile terminal ends the call. And if the authorization is successful, sending a answering success message to the CSE, wherein the answering success message comprises the unique session id session1 of the calling and the url1 address of the calling CSE. The second mobile terminal is replied in the polling of (15) that the call is successfully answered.

(16) homeReceive: and the second mobile terminal acquires the unique session id session1 in the call and the url1 address of the CSE in the call from the polling message (15), and initiates a call joining request to the url1 address of the CSE, wherein the request carries the unique session id session1, the deviceid and customerid of the second mobile terminal and the calling number.

(17) homeTalking: after the second mobile terminal enters a call, the second mobile terminal joins the unique room mapped by the unique session id session1, a video call is carried out in the room, and a heartbeat message is polled to the url1 address of the CSE, so that the call process is ensured to be continuously carried out.

(18) homeTalking: the intelligent television keeps on conversation, continues to carry out video conversation in the unique room mapped by the unique session id session1, polls heartbeat messages to the url1 address of the CSE, ensures that the conversation process continues, and synchronously acquires the information of newly added members through polling messages.

(19) homeTalking: the first mobile terminal continues to keep the call, continues to perform the video call in the unique room mapped by the unique session id session1, polls the heartbeat message to the url1 address of the CSE to ensure that the call process continues, and synchronously acquires the information of the newly-added member through the polling message.
