Method for dispatching MCU resource, business server and system

Abstract

The invention provides a method for dispatching MCU resources, a business server and a system. The method comprises the following steps of: the business server determines a candidate MCU collection; the business server constructs a terminal list which records a terminal set needed by a current conference; each terminal set comprises at least one terminal; the business server distributes the terminal set to the MCU in the candidate MCU collection according to a scheduled strategy; the available resource supplied by the MCU distributed to the terminal end is larger than or equal to the sum of the distributed resources needed by the terminal end; according to the corresponding relationship between the terminal end and the MCU, the topological relation of a cascaded conference is determined. By applying the technical proposal, according to the available resources supplied by different MCU, the corresponding relationship between the MCU and the terminal set is determined; and according to the relationship, the topological relation of a cascaded network is established, thus realizing the automatic dispatching of the MCU resources in a TV conference system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to video conference technology, in particular to a method for scheduling MCU resources, a service server and a system. Background technique [0002] In the current situation where the network scale of conference TV is getting larger and larger, the single-level Multipoint Control Unit (MCU, Multipoint Control Unit) video conference system can no longer meet the needs of large conferences. It has become a necessary function of the conference video system to provide support for large-scale conferences. [0003] In view of the special time of the meeting and the characteristics of less MCU resources, it is generally necessary to make an appointment in advance before the official meeting. The essence of the meeting reservation is the reservation of the MCU resources. Generally, it is divided into the following steps: The terminal selects an appropriate MCU; secondly, the resource verification method is used to calculate the scheduled...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] In the process of implementing the present invention, the inventor found at least the following problems in the prior art: the prior art must plan the use of MCUs in advance, and the number or number prefix of the terminal must be manually configured on each MCU, so it cannot be automated configuration; since the terminal number or number prefix configured on each MCU is fixed, terminals with the same number or number prefix will always be scheduled to the same MCU during resource scheduling, so MCU load balancing cannot be achieved, even in The reservation from the terminal cannot pass when there are still MCU resources; and because the cascading scheme is manually statically planned in advance, not only the efficiency is low, but also the cascading scheme cannot flexibly respond to changing situations
