Registration method and system for multipoint control unit cascade conference

Abstract

Disclosed are a registration method and system for a multi-point control unit (MCU) cascade conference. The method comprises: an ASC receives a conference request from a GUI, wherein the conference request carries the name and alternate name of a conference requested to be held; the ASC divides the conference into multiple sub-conferences according to resource idle condition of the multiple MUCs managed by the ASC; the ASC judges whether each sub-conference is a main conference or a standby conference, if a sub-conference is the main conference, then the ASC generates a registration name for the sub-conference according to the name and alternate name of the conference, and if the sub-conference is a standby conference, then the ASC generates a registration name for the sub-conference according to the alternate name of the conference; for each sub-conference, the ASC respectively sends the registration name of the sub-conference to the MCU corresponding to the sub-conference, and registers the conference in a GK via the multiple MCUs. In the present invention, the requirement for professional knowledge of a user during conference registration is greatly reduced, and the system is capable of automatically distributing the sub-conferences on the multiple MCUs.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communications, in particular to a registration method and system for a multipoint control unit cascade conference. Background technique [0002] With the continuous maturity of multimedia technology and network technology, video conferencing, one of the ways of combining multimedia and network, can support more and more data capacity, which can reach the level of telecom level, resulting in the current single-level multi-point The control unit (Multi-Point Control Unit, referred to as MCU for short) video conferencing television system can no longer meet the requirements of large-capacity conferences. Therefore, in order to provide support for large-scale video conferences, cascading multiple MCUs to meet the capacity requirements of large-scale video conferences has become an inevitable solution for video conference systems. [0003] In the existing multi-MCU video conferencing television system, when a ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

As a result, when a multi-MCU cascading conference is held, the user needs to configure the multiple sub-conferences held at the bottom layer one by one. The configuration process is very complicated and requires a high degree of professionalism of the user, resulting in low operation efficiency and poor user experience. Low
