The editable authentication information can contain some prompt statements, for example, "I am ****, please confirm" and so on. It is also possible to preset or save the authentication picture directly on the terminal A without requiring the user to edit, for example, an identity photo or a short video, etc., which can be selectively configured by the user. Step S702, the terminal A initiates a video call to the terminal B to establish a video call bearer. Step S703, the terminal A determines whether the identity authentication function is enabled. If the identity authentication function is enabled, step S704 is performed. If the identity authentication function is not enabled, step S708 is performed to perform a regular video call. Step S704, sending identity authentication information to the peer mobile phone. For example, pictures or videos, etc. Step S705: The terminal B receives the authentication information, and the terminal B user determines whether the calling user passes the authentication by using the authentication information. The terminal B receives the authentication information, decodes the authentication information (for example, a picture or video), and displays it on the screen of the terminal B to prompt the user. If the user passes the authentication, δΡ, the user views the information content and accepts the authentication information, step S706 is performed. If the authentication fails, SP, if the terminal B receives the authentication information, and the user views the content of the information and rejects, step S709 is performed to hang up the visual call link, and the entire process ends. Step S706, the terminal B sets the authentication information, and sends the authentication information to the terminal A after the setting is completed. The setting process is the same as that of terminal A step S701, and can be edited by the user himself or by setting default authentication information. Step S707: The terminal A determines that the authentication information sent by the terminal B is received, and the terminal A user determines whether the called user passes the authentication by using the authentication information. The terminal A user confirms whether the authentication is passed. If the confirmation is passed, step S708 is performed to perform a video call process between the user of the terminal A and the user of the terminal B. If the authentication is not passed, that is, if the terminal A receives the authentication information, but the user rejects the authentication information after viewing the information content, step S709 is performed to hang up the video call link, and the entire process ends. It should be noted that, in the above preferred embodiment, the user confirmation mode of the terminal A or the terminal B may be, but not limited to, sending a specific key value or a designated character to the other party by pressing the confirmation key, and determining whether the content is satisfied by the other end. FIG. 8 is a flowchart of a method for implementing privacy of videophone protection according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, the process includes the following steps: Step S801: A user of terminal A sets video call authentication information. For example, an editing interface can be given, and the user can preset the questions and answers by himself; the questions and answers can be preset by the system, and the user can perform selective configuration. The authentication content can be a password inquiry, or a question agreed by both parties (for example, do you know ***?), or a randomly generated authentication code or authentication character. Step S802, the terminal A initiates a video call to the terminal B to establish a video call bearer. In step S803, the terminal A determines whether the identity authentication function is enabled. If the identity authentication function is enabled, step S804 is performed. If the identity authentication function is not enabled, step S808 is performed to perform a regular video call. Step S804, if the terminal A turns on the identity authentication function, sends the set authentication information (for example, a password or a question query) to the terminal B. Step S805, the terminal B receives the authentication information, decodes the authentication information and displays the prompting user on the screen, and the terminal B user decides whether to accept the current call. If the user accepts the call, the local user enters the password or If the answer to the question or the authentication character is completed, step S806 is performed. If the user rejects the input, step S809 is performed to hang up the visual call link. Step S806, if the terminal B user inputs the authentication information result, the terminal B performs the encoding process on the input content, and sends the input content to the terminal A, and performs step S807. Step S807, the terminal A receives the result of the authentication information sent by the terminal B, and compares the content preset in step S801.
