SEAMLESS CALL TRANSITIONS WITH ESCALATION-AWARE NOTIFICATIONS

摘要

While a device is engaged in an audio-only call, an incoming video call can be received. Video call context information can be included as part of the incoming video call notification, and such information can include an indication that the incoming video call is in fact an escalation of the audio-only call. Based on the call context information, a variety of actions can be taken. For example, the audio-only call can be seamlessly transitioned to the video call.
