Method and system for centralized monitoring of video session terminals and relevant devices

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and system for centralized monitoring of video session terminals and relevant devices. In the method, an audio-video media transmission channel is established between a monitoring center server and the terminals; collected audio-video signals are compressed, encoded and packaged by the terminals and transmitted to the monitoring center server; the received audio-video signals are unpacked, decoded and synthesized by the monitoring center server and are output by external devices. By adopting the scheme, a video session manager can monitor the work state of a plurality of terminals simultaneously so as to conveniently perform remote control over the terminals; furthermore, safeguard measures can be taken for the broken terminals in time; and therefore, the working efficiency of the video session manager and the support capability for video session businesses can be improved, and the operating cost of enterprises can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the application field of video conferencing services, in particular to a method and system for centralized monitoring of video conferencing terminals and related devices. Background technique [0002] The video conferencing system is a multimedia communication system that supports audio and video transmission. It can enable individuals or groups in two or more different places to transmit sounds, images, and documents to each other through the transmission network and multimedia equipment, realizing instant and interactive communication. [0003] The video conferencing system includes: a video conferencing terminal, a multipoint control unit (MCU, Multipoint Control Units) and a transmission network; the video conferencing terminal (hereinafter referred to as the terminal) includes a codec for compressing and encoding audio, video and other media and decoding processing; the terminal can be connected to peripherals such as mic...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] In the prior art, the conference manager can only monitor one terminal at the same time. figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a traditional video conferencing system, figure 1 There are two places in the system, and several terminals are installed in each place. The PC console monitors the audio and video signals of each terminal through the IP network, but the PC console can only manage a single terminal at the same time, and cannot Multiple terminals are managed at the same time. However, with the popularization of video conferencing applications, more and more terminals are deployed in enterprises or organizations, and the distribution of physical locations is becoming more and more scattered, for example: on different floors of the same building, or on different Between different buildings, if the conference manager can only monitor the working status of one terminal at the same time, it will not be conducive to the guarantee and maintenance of multiple terminals, and will increase the operating cost of the enterprise
