Method for implementing interworking of video conference terminals and gatekeeper therefor

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for implementing interworking of video conference terminals and a gatekeeper therefor. The method comprises the following: the gatekeeper judges whether a calling video conference terminal and a called video conference terminal come from a same network segment or not; when the calling video conference terminal and the called video conference terminal come from different network segments or both from a public network, the gatekeeper returns the public network address of the called video conference terminal to the calling video conference terminal; when the calling video conference terminal and the called video conference terminal come from a same private network, the gatekeeper returns the private network address of the called video conference terminal to the calling video conference terminal; and the calling video conference terminal initiates the connection with the called video conference terminal according to the public network address or the private network address. Through the above processing, the function of end-to-end interworking can be realized by using a uniform configuration whether the gatekeeper is in the public network or the private network, and the operation of the user is greatly convenient.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication, and in particular, to a method for implementing intercommunication between video conferencing terminals and a gatekeeper. Background technique [0002] In related technologies, the main function of a video conference system, that is, a real-time multimedia multipoint conference system is to realize instant communication. At present, the real-time multimedia multipoint conference system uses standard communication protocols (for example, H.323, H.320, etc.) to establish a collaborative interaction environment through synchronous interaction technology, and allows multimedia terminals distributed in different areas to join the environment Through real-time interactive video, voice, text, whiteboard, etc., real-time interactive conferences can be realized, which can build a good communication platform within or between enterprises. [0003] Currently, in a multi-segment environment, a gatekeeper (Gate...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] Considering the problem that gatekeepers in the related art cannot intercommunicate terminals in different private networks, or respectively in the public network and private network, the present invention is proposed. Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a videoconferencing terminal intercommunication Implementation method and gatekeeper, to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in related technologies
