Filed: 2007-06-01
Abstract: The application relates to a method and apparatus for showing images, as well as video in a voice-over Internet protocol call. Conventionally the device (110) of the first call participant is not aware that the device (104) of the second call participant is capable of showing images and/or video. This problem is solved in that the first client device obtains device capabilities of a second client device (302) in response to the call. The device capabilities are processed to determine (306) whether the second client device is capable of graphical display, i.e. showing images to a user, or graphical interaction, i.e. display of and interaction with statits images, as well as video. If so, the first client device follows a so-called multimodal call flow (310), i.e. e.g. the first client device sends image data towards the second client device for display. Otherwise, the first client device follows a voice-only call flow (308).
