Abstract:

In a multimedia communications system () that provides for two-way interactive calls, multimedia data is provided to callers when interactive calls are placed on hold.

While on hold, the user is invited to accept multimedia data, including, for example, a cartoon, interactive game, information, advertisement or the like (). If the user accepts the invitation (), bearer channels are set up to send the multimedia data (). The user may end the multimedia session if the destination becomes available or may continue the multimedia session during and after the voice call to the destination.
