Description

This application is filed based on the Chinese patent application No. 202210800411.3, filed on July 8, 2022, and claims priority from that Chinese patent application, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. The embodiments of this application relate to, but are not limited to, the field of communications, and more particularly to video call control methods, communication equipment, and storage media. Currently, 5G user calls belong to a passive response interaction category, lacking guidance and sensing capabilities for user needs. Furthermore, the system design is complex, the operation flow is cumbersome, and the prompting method is monotonous, hindering the development of self-service interaction services. 5G user calls lack engaging conversations for both parties. Even if a new system customization feature is developed to enhance user experience, after its successful development, users will need to learn and understand how to use the new feature. This creates a psychological burden on users, reducing their interest in experiencing the new product and hindering service adoption and application.
