Abstract: A mobile terminal communicates with a remote terminal via a video call. The mobile terminal searches for at least one peripheral smart television to acquire device information of the at least one television to establish a TV list, and selects a target television. The mobile terminal then negotiates with the remote terminal to change session description of the video call to make the remote terminal directly send media stream to the target television. The mobile terminal also controls the target television to acquire media stream of the video call and directly send media stream to the remote terminal.

Abstract: A video conference (VC) device for communicating with VC terminals includes a VC box and a set-top box (STB). The VC box includes a VC controller module, a media stream receiver module, and a decoder module. When a session is established between one of the VC terminals and the VC box, the VC controller detects if the decoder module is available. When the decoder module is available, the media stream receiver module receives a media stream sent from the VC terminal and transmits the media stream to the decoder module, and the decoder module processes the media stream to generate corresponding video and audio signals for the session. When the decoder module is unavailable, the media stream receiver module transmits the media stream to the STB, and the STB processes the media stream to generate corresponding video and audio signals for the session.

Abstract: A method for establishing a video communication using a communication device includes sending local audio signals to the remote communication device, receiving response audio signals from the remote communication device. The method further includes controlling the local UPnP set-top box to send local video signals to the remote UPnP set-top box according to the IP address of the remote UPnP set-top box, controlling the local UPnP set-top box to receive response video signals from the remote UPnP set-top box.

Abstract: A method for testing a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) includes copying a test program from the DRAM to a random access memory (RAM). Start and end physical addresses of the DRAM are respectively stored in first and second registers. First test data is written to the start physical address, and second test data is read from the start physical address. The method further includes determining whether the second test data is the same as the first test data. A fixed value is added to the start physical address to obtain a next start physical address if the second test data is the same as the first test data. The method further includes determining whether the next start physical address is less than the end physical address. A test success result is returned if the next start physical address is not less than the end physical address.

Abstract: A method is provided for detecting connection errors in an Internet telephony gateway (ITG) including a subscriber line interface controller (SLIC). The method includes initializing the SLIC for enabling the SLIC to operate in a forward active state; determining a connection status of the port; enabling the SLIC to operate in a reverse active state if the port is connected; determining whether the SLIC is in an open state after setting the SLIC in the reverse active state; generating connection error information if the SLIC is in the open state, for indicating that a connection error has occurred in the port. An ITG employing the method is also provided.
