Fig. 3 is a block diagram of the software configuration of the electronic device 100A according to the embodiment of the present invention.

The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, each layer having a clear role and division of labor. The layers communicate with each other through a software interface. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into five layers, from top to bottom, an application layer, an application framework layer, an Android Runtime (ART) and native C/C + + library, a hardware abstraction layer, and a kernel layer.

The application layer may include a series of application packages. As shown in fig. 3, the application package may include camera, gallery, calendar, phone call, map, navigation, WLAN, bluetooth, music, video, short message, etc. applications.

For example, the display interface including the short message notification icon may include a view for displaying text and a view for displaying pictures.

The resource manager provides various resources for the application, such as localized strings, icons, pictures, layout files, video files, and the like.

The notification manager enables the application to display notification information in the status bar, can be used to convey notification-type messages, can disappear automatically after a short dwell, and does not require user interaction. Such as a notification manager used to inform download completion, message alerts, etc. The notification manager may also be a notification that appears in the form of a chart or scroll bar text at the top status bar of the system, such as a notification of a background running application, or a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window. For example, prompting text information in the status bar, sounding a prompt tone, vibrating the electronic device, flashing an indicator light, etc.

The campaign manager may provide a campaign manager service (AMS), which may be used for the start-up, switching, scheduling of system components (e.g., campaigns, services, content providers, broadcast receivers), and management and scheduling of application processes.

The input manager may provide an Input Manager Service (IMS) that may be used to manage inputs to the system, such as touch screen inputs, key inputs, sensor inputs, and the like. The IMS takes the event from the input device node and assigns the event to the appropriate window by interacting with the WMS.

The android runtime comprises a core library and an android runtime. Android runtime is responsible for converting source code into bytecode, converting bytecode into machine code, and running machine code. In compilation technology, android runtime supports Advanced Or Time (AOT) compilation technology and Just In Time (JIT) compilation technology, where AOT converts bytecode into machine code and stores it on memory during application installation; JIT converts a portion of bytecode into machine code in real time while an application is running.

The core library is mainly used for providing basic functions of the Java class library, such as basic data structure, mathematics, IO, tool, database, network and the like. The core library provides an API for android application development of users.

The native C/C + + library may include a plurality of functional modules. For example: surface manager (surface manager), media framework (media frame), libc, OpenGL ES, SQLite, Webkit, etc. Wherein the surface manager is configured to manage the display subsystem and provide a fusion of the 2D and 3D layers for the plurality of applications. The media framework supports playback and recording of a variety of commonly used audio and video formats, as well as still image files, and the like. The media library may support a variety of audio-video encoding formats, such as MPEG4, h.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, and the like. libc provides a standard C function library. OpenGL ES provides for the rendering and manipulation of 2D graphics and 3D graphics in applications. SQLite provides a lightweight relational database for applications. Webkit provides support for the browser kernel.

Modules in the application framework layer are written by using Java language, modules in the native C/C + + library are written by using C/C + + language, and communication between the modules and the native C/C + + library can be realized by using Java Native Interface (JNI).

The hardware abstraction layer runs in a user space (user space), encapsulates the kernel layer drive, provides a calling interface for the upper layer, and can contain a display module, a camera module, an audio module and a Bluetooth module.

The kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer can contain display driver, camera drive, audio drive, bluetooth drive, can also include other sensor drive. The kernel layer provides hardware drive and supports functions of memory management, system process management, file system management, power management and the like.

The software and hardware workflow of the electronic device 100A is illustratively described below in connection with the open talk video call scenario.

When the touch sensor 180K receives a touch operation, a corresponding hardware interrupt is issued to the kernel layer. The kernel layer processes the touch operation into an original input event (including touch coordinates, a time stamp of the touch operation, and other information). The raw input events are stored at the kernel layer. And the application program framework layer acquires the original input event from the kernel layer and identifies the control corresponding to the input event. Taking the touch operation as a touch click operation, and taking the control corresponding to the click operation as a connection control of the fluent speech application as an example, the fluent speech application calls an interface of an application framework layer, starts the fluent speech application, further starts a camera drive, a microphone drive and the like by calling a kernel layer, captures a video through the camera 193, plays sound through the speaker 170A and/or the receiver 170B, and inputs sound through the microphone 170C to connect a video call.

The retraction control 136 may receive an operation (e.g., a downward swipe) from user A, and in response to the operation from the user, the electronic device 100A may hide a portion of the control.

It is understood that fig. 7 only illustrates an example of a call interface layout, and a specific layout manner of each call member on a video screen may be flexibly set, which is not limited in the present application.

For example, the layout of the call interface of the user B and/or the user C may be the same as or similar to the layout of the call interface of the user a, and the layout of the call interface of the user B and/or the user C may also be in other forms, which is not described herein again.

In another possible implementation manner, step S401 may also be: user a calls user B, user C, and user D. And the user B, the user C and the user D all answer, but the user D exits the multi-party call in advance.

In another possible implementation manner, step S401 may also be: the user A, the user B and the user C are in the current multi-party call, the user D is not in the current multi-party call, and the user D is called by the multi-party call.

S402: user D views the call log.

S403: the electronic device 100D of the user D queries the cloud server 200 for the current multi-party call status and online members using the room number 1.

S404: and the user D selects the user A to call back.

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of an interface for user D to view call records and select an online member to call back. In fig. 8, (a) and (b) illustrate interface diagrams of one way in which the user D selects an online member to call back, and in fig. 8, (c) and (D) illustrate interface diagrams of another way in which the user D selects an online member to call back.

In a callback mode, as shown in fig. 8 (a), in step S402, when the user D views the call record, the electronic device 100D may display the call record list interface 30. For example, in the call log list interface 30, the call logs may be displayed in chronological order of the calls. In other embodiments, the call records may also be displayed according to the classification of the operator call records and the clear connection call records, or according to the call frequency sequence, which is not limited in this application. The call log column may receive an operation of the user D, as shown in (b) of fig. 8, the call log column is in response to the operation (e.g., a touch operation) of the user, and the electronic device 100D performs step S403, that is, the electronic device 100D queries the cloud server 200 about the current multi-party call state and the online members using the room number 1. The call record may carry the room number information of the missed multi-party call.

When the multi-party call is in progress, as shown in fig. 8 (b), the call record list interface 30 of the electronic device 100D displays a call contact selection window 301. The call contact selection window 301 may display a text prompt 305, and the text prompt 305 may be "select contact to call: the multi-party call is still in progress, a contact person can be selected for calling, and the opposite party can combine the call into the multi-party call after receiving the call. Exemplarily, after the electronic device 100D of the user D obtains the current online call member information from the cloud server 200, the online member icon 302 may be displayed in the call contact selection window 301. Where the online member icon 302 may include avatar information and/or nickname information (or remark information) for the online member in the current multi-party call. In response to an operation (e.g., a touch operation) by user D on the online member icon 302, a selection box 306 appears on the online member icon 302 indicating that the online member is selected. The call contact selection window 301 may also include a cancel control 303 and a determine control 304. A cancel control 303 may be used to cancel the operation of the currently selected contact and a determine control 304 may be used to confirm the current operation and initiate the call. The electronic device 100D may receive an input operation (e.g., a touch operation) of the user D with respect to the determination control 304 after the user D selects a certain online member, and in response to the input operation, the electronic device 100D may initiate a call to the online member selected by the user D. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 8 (B), the call contact selection window 301 displays the current online members of xiaohua (user a), old mother (user B), and brother (user C) to indicate that the xiaohua (user a), old mother (user B), and brother (user C) are in the same multi-party call that is related to the call record selected by the user in fig. 8 (B). In one possible implementation manner, in step S404, after the user D selects the online contact person, namely, the xiao (user a), the electronic device 100D may initiate a call to the xiao (user a) in response to an input operation (e.g., a touch operation) of the determination control 304 by the user D. It is understood that, in step S404, the user D may select any one of the currently online members (user a, user B, or user C) to initiate a call, which is not limited in this application.

In another callback mode, as shown in fig. 8 (c), in step S402, when the user D views the call record, the call record column of the call record list interface 30 may further include a detail understanding control 301. The electronic device 100D of the user D may receive an input operation (e.g., a touch operation) of the user D on the details knowing control 301, and in response to the input operation, the electronic device performs step S403, that is, the electronic device 100D queries the cloud server 200 about the current call state and the online members, and the electronic device 100D may display a call details page interface 31 as shown in (D) of fig. 8. Illustratively, the call details page interface 31 may include all of the multi-party call members icons 311. The multi-party call member icon 311 may include avatar information and/or nickname information (or remark information) of the multi-party call member. In some embodiments, the online member and the offline member of all the multi-party call members can be distinguished by text or avatar color. Illustratively, a selection box 312 may be located next to the currently online member icon 311 for selecting the currently online member to make a call. Call record list interface 30 may also include originating call control 313 and alert message 314. For example, the call control 313 may display a text description (e.g., "initiate call"), and the prompt message 314 may be "this multi-party call is still in progress, you can select a contact call, and the other party can merge you into the multi-party call after receiving the incoming call. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 8 (D), the electronic device 100D may receive an input operation (e.g., a touch operation) of the user D with respect to the initiate call control 313 after the user D selects a certain online member (e.g., a flower), and in response to the input operation, the electronic device 100D may initiate a call to the flower (user a).

Since each participating member can be online and offline at any time during the multi-party call, before the user D selects an online member to call back, the electronic device 100D needs to query the cloud server 200 for the online status of each member in the multi-party call in real time, so as to ensure that the user can select the online member to call back, improve the accuracy of call back, and avoid disturbing the offline user due to call back to the offline user.

In one possible implementation, as shown in fig. 8, when the user D initiates a request to join the current multi-party call, the default user D accesses the current multi-party call in a voice manner, so as to prevent privacy disclosure caused by unfamiliarity with the application program or misoperation of the user D.

In another possible implementation manner, when the user D initiates a request for joining the current multiparty call, the user D may also select to access in a voice manner or in a video manner by himself or herself, so as to improve the flexibility of user selection.

In a possible implementation manner, in step S403, the electronic device 100D queries the current call state and the online members from the cloud server 200, and if the current multi-party call is ended, the electronic device 100D directly calls back the calling party (for example, the user a), so that convenience of the call back operation of the user can be improved, and the user is prevented from calling back all the members of the multi-party call to disturb other users.

In another possible implementation manner, in step S403, the electronic device 100D queries the current call state and the online members from the cloud server 200, and if the current multi-party call is ended, the electronic device may display a callback contact selection window, and the user may freely select any user participating in the multi-party call to callback according to actual situations, so that callback requirements of the user under different situations may be met.

Fig. 9 is a schematic interface diagram during the callback process of the user D.

As shown in fig. 9, in step S404, while the multi-party call is in progress, after the user D selects the user a (xiaohua) to perform callback, the callback interface 32 may be displayed on the full screen of the electronic device 100D in response to the callback operation of the user D. Illustratively, callback interface 32 may include callback information 321. The callback information 321 is information indicating that the user a (xianhua) is called back, which may include avatar information and/or nickname information (or remark information) of the user a, and the callback information 321 may further include a text description (e.g., "connect with multiparty call, be waiting for the other party to approve the join …"). The callback interface 32 may further include a mute control 322, a hang-up control 323, a camera control 324, and an effect control 325, and the functions of the controls may refer to (a) in fig. 7 and the corresponding description thereof, which is not described herein again. In some embodiments, the callback interface 32 may have other forms, such as not including callback information 321, which is not limited in this application.

S415: the cloud server 200 sends a response message that the user D joins the current multiparty call to the user a, the user B and the user C.

Illustratively, the answer message may be used to prompt the current online user that a new user D has joined the current multi-party call. As shown in fig. 12 (B), after user D (xiaoming) joins the current multiparty call, prompts may appear on the call interfaces of user a, user B, and user C. Taking user a as an example, referring to fig. 7 (a), the call interface 13 may present a prompt box 138 to remind the current online user that a new user joins the current multiparty call. Illustratively, a textual description (e.g., "Xiaoming joined the current call") may be displayed on the prompt box 138. In other embodiments, the manner of reminding the user may also have other forms, such as a ring back tone, and the like, which is not limited in this application. In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 12 (b), the call interface 13 may further include a user avatar 139 of the newly joined user. In other embodiments, after the newly joining user joins in a video mode, the call interface 13 may directly display the video image of the newly joining user.

The call interface prompting mode of the user B and/or the user C may be the same as or similar to the call interface prompting mode of the user a, or may also be a different form from the call interface prompting mode of the user a, which is not limited in the present application.

S416: user D joins the current multi-party call.

It can be understood that when a plurality of users make a multi-party call, the typesetting layout of the call interface and the number of paths of video display can have other forms; the number of people for multi-party communication can be two, three or more; in the multi-party call, all users can access in a voice mode, all users can access in a video mode, part of users can access in a voice mode, and part of users can access in a video mode, which are not limited in the application.

Through the communication method provided by the steps, the user who is not accessed or offline can check the progress and the members of the current multi-party communication at any time through the communication record, and select a certain member on the current online to call back, so that the multi-party call back requirements of the calling user are met. In addition, the multi-party call members receiving the call back can decide whether to answer the call independently or combine the call back into the current ongoing call, thereby meeting the call requirements of the users in different scenes.

In some embodiments, when a calling party (e.g., user a) initiates a multi-party call, the multi-party call attribute may be set, and for example, the calling party may set the multi-party call attribute to a closed mode or an open mode. When the user initiates the multi-party call, the sent request message may carry the multi-party call attribute, and the cloud server 200 may control whether the user D is allowed to actively join the multi-party call according to the multi-party call attribute. When the attribute of the multi-party call is in the closed mode, the process of the user D actively joining the multi-party call may refer to the description of the above steps S402-S416, and the closed mode setting may avoid various privacy problems caused by the active joining. When the multi-party call attribute is in the open mode, the user D can directly call back the multi-party call and join the multi-party call by checking the call record without selecting call members to call back and without the agreement of the current call members, and the open mode setting improves the convenience of call back operation. By providing different modes for the user to flexibly select, the interaction usability can be improved.

In some embodiments, in the ordinary two-party call and multi-party call processes, when a member in call receives a new incoming call, the member in call can also select to combine the incoming call into the current call, so that the user can flexibly select the call mode.

In some embodiments, during the multi-party call, the currently online multi-party call member may actively call an unconnected user, a rejected user, or a hung-up user, and the currently online multi-party call member may also invite a new user to join the current multi-party call. Taking user a as an example, as shown in fig. 13 (a), in conjunction with fig. 7, the call member control 135G may receive an operation of the current call member user a, as shown in fig. 13 (b), and in response to the operation (e.g., a touch operation) of the call member control 135G by user a, the electronic device 100A may further display a call member list window 1351. Illustratively, the call member list window 1351 may include a reclaim control 1352, a call control 1353, and an add new member control 1354.

The retrieve control 1352 may receive an operation of the user a (e.g., a downward slide), and in response to the operation of the user a, the electronic device 100A may hide the call member list window 1351.

As shown in fig. 13 (b), a call control 1353 may be included beside the list of currently offline multi-party call members (e.g., unliked, rejected, or hung users), and the electronic device 100A may call back the currently offline multi-party call members (e.g., xiaoming) in response to an operation (e.g., a touch operation) of the user a.

The add new member control 1354 may receive the operation of user a who may select a new member to call, inviting it to join the current multi-party call. As shown in fig. 13 (c), in response to an operation (e.g., a touch operation) of the user a, the electronic device 100A may display a selection window 1355, and the selection window 1355 may include a share current call control 1356 and a contact list selection control 1357. Illustratively, the contact list selection control 1357 may be used to select a user from the contact list to place a call. The share current call control 1357 may be used to share the current multi-party call to other users, for example, the electronic device 100A may receive an input operation (e.g., a touch operation) of the user a on the share current call control 1357, and in response to the input operation, the electronic device 100A may display a share window 1358 as shown in (d) of fig. 13. For example, the sharing window 1358 may display sharing modes selectable by the electronic device 100A, for example: sharing modes such as smooth connection conversation, address list, mail, short message and the like. The sharing window 1358 may also include a cancel control 1359, which the cancel control 1359 may use to cancel the current operation. After receiving the shared multi-party call, the user can join the current multi-party call through calling, so that the user is prevented from being disturbed by direct calling.

In a possible implementation mode, by the method, any one currently online multi-party call member can call back an offline member at any time, and a new member can be invited to join the current multi-party call according to actual conditions, so that the interaction usability is improved.

In another possible implementation, the calling party (user a) may call back the non-online member at any time, or invite a new member to join the current multiparty call according to the actual situation.

In some embodiments, a member of the multi-party call that is not currently online (e.g., user D) may share the multi-party call with other users. As shown in fig. 14 (a), referring to fig. 8 (D), the call detail page interface 31 of the electronic device 100D may include a sharing control 315. For example, the electronic device 100D may receive an input operation (e.g., a touch operation) from the user on the sharing control 315, and the electronic device 100D may display a sharing window 316 as shown in fig. 14 (b). For example, sharing modes selectable by the electronic device may be displayed in the sharing window 316, for example: the sharing modes of smooth connection conversation, address list, mail, short message and the like. User D, who is not currently online, may share the multi-party call to other users through the sharing window 316. The sharing window 316 may also include a cancel control 317, and the cancel control 317 may be used to cancel the current sharing operation. The process of the user who receives the share joining the multi-party call through the sharing interface may refer to the description of the above steps S402-S416.

By the call method provided by the application, the current user who is not on-line can check the progress and members of the current multi-party call at any time through the call records, and can add the current multi-party call by selecting any one on-line member to call back to meet the multi-party call request of the calling user. In addition, the multi-party call members receiving the call back can decide to answer the call of the call back user independently, keep the currently ongoing multi-party call or combine the call back call into the currently ongoing call, thereby meeting the combined call requirement of the called user, providing more call options for the user and meeting the call requirements of the user in different scenes.
