[0045] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0046] Figure 2 A conference control method for a visual network provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown, which is applied to a conference scheduling server. The method includes the following steps:

[0047] Step 201, receiving the intermediate conference control information sent by the video networking terminal.

[0048] It should be noted that the intermediate conference control information is the information obtained by encapsulating the received initial conference control information by the visual networking terminal through the visual networking protocol; the initial conference control information is the information sent by the target terminal to the visual networking terminal through the local area network. Preferably, the initial conference control information is the conference control information encapsulated by the target terminal using the Internet protocol. Among them, the conference control information is used to start a network conference or control an already started network conference. The Internet protocol is the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).

[0049] The target terminal can be a dedicated video networking tablet, whose functions include but are not limited to: initiating, establishing, and controlling meetings; the target terminal can also be a smart device with a video networking conference scheduling application installed, such as a smart phone with a video networking conference scheduling application installed. The video networking terminal is equipped with a wireless network module for creating a wireless local area network and connecting to the target terminal.

[0050] Step 202: Identify the service type to which the intermediate conference control information belongs.

[0051] It should be noted that the initial conference control information and the intermediate conference control information are conference control information encapsulated by different protocols, and the information they carry for controlling the conference is the same. Preferably, the conference control information can be divided into a scheduling business type and a management business type according to the business type it involves. The conference control information of the scheduling business type is used to implement conference scheduling and perform basic operations in the conference, including starting a meeting, suspending a meeting, switching speakers, etc. The conference control information of the management business type is used to implement conference management and perform basic management business processing, including user authentication, conference appointment management, address book management, remote control control, resource on demand, etc.

[0052] Step 203: When the service type to which the intermediate conference control information belongs is a scheduling service type, scheduling service processing is performed according to the intermediate conference control information.

[0053] It should be noted that the scheduling service is processed according to the information for controlling the conference carried by the intermediate conference control information. For example, if the intermediate conference control information is to start the conference, the conference scheduling server performs a conference validity check according to the conference start, and starts the conference if the conference is valid.

[0054] When the business type to which the intermediate conference control information belongs is a management business type, the intermediate conference control information is sent to the conference management server so that the conference management server performs management business processing according to the intermediate conference control information. For example, if the intermediate conference control information is to obtain conference group information, the conference scheduling server will send the obtained conference group information to the conference management server, and the conference management server will obtain the conference group and transmit the obtained conference group information to the target terminal through the conference scheduling server and the visual network terminal in turn. The scheduling business and the management business are processed separately by different services, which can make the business logic clearer and more hierarchical.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present invention, a conference control method of a visual network is applied to a conference scheduling server, and the method includes: receiving intermediate conference control information sent by a visual network terminal; wherein the intermediate conference control information is information obtained by encapsulating the received initial conference control information by the visual network terminal through the visual network protocol; and the initial conference control information is information sent by the target terminal to the visual network terminal through a local area network. The target terminal can send the initial conference control information to the visual network terminal without connecting to the Internet. The visual network terminal encapsulates and sends the information to the conference scheduling server through the visual network protocol. Compared with the way of transmitting information over the Internet, the security of data transmission can be improved. Identify the business type to which the intermediate conference control information belongs; when the business type to which the intermediate conference control information belongs is a scheduling business type, perform scheduling business processing according to the intermediate conference control information. In the present invention, when the target terminal initiates conference control, the visual network terminal transmits the conference control information to the conference scheduling server, which can ensure that the conference scheduling server successfully receives the conference control information and avoid the target terminal from directly connecting to the Internet. While improving security, the scheduling business processing during the conference can be completed even without the Internet.

[0056] Optionally, based on the above-mentioned embodiment of the invention, in the embodiment of the present invention, identifying the service type to which the intermediate conference control information belongs includes:

[0057] Parse the intermediate conference control information through the visual networking protocol to obtain the parsing result;

[0058] When the parsing result includes a scheduling service identifier, the service type to which the intermediate conference control information belongs is determined to be a scheduling service type; when the parsing result includes a management service identifier, the service type to which the intermediate conference control information belongs is determined to be a management service type.

[0059] It should be noted that both the initial conference control information and the intermediate conference control information carry a service identifier for identifying the type of service to which they belong. Specifically, the target terminal adds the corresponding service identifier when generating the initial conference control information. And during the transmission process, whether the initial conference control information is parsed or repackaged, the service identifier contained therein will not change. For example, when the initial conference control information generated by the target terminal is to start a meeting, a scheduling service identifier is added to the initial conference control information. In the process of processing the initial conference control information to generate the intermediate conference control information, the scheduling service identifier will not change.

[0060] In order to send the information carried in the intermediate conference control information to the conference management server, based on the above-mentioned embodiments of the invention, in an embodiment of the present invention, the intermediate conference control information is sent to the conference management server so that the conference management server performs management business processing according to the intermediate conference control information, including:

[0061] Re-encapsulate the parsing result using the Internet protocol to obtain the destination conference control information;

[0062] The destination conference control information is sent to the conference management server through the visual network transparent transmission channel, so that the conference management server performs management business processing according to the destination conference control information.

[0063] It should be noted that the dispatching business and the management business are processed by different services respectively, which can make the business logic clearer and more hierarchical. The Internet protocol here is the Transmission Control Protocol.

[0064] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0065] Receive target information returned by the conference management server;

[0066] The target information is sent to the target terminal through the visual networking terminal, so that the target terminal displays the target information or updates the status information according to the target information.

[0067] It should be noted that the target information may be push information issued by the conference management server. After the target terminal receives the push information, the received push information is displayed. Of course, the target information may also be the status information of each participant sent by the conference management server. After the target terminal receives the status information, the status of each participant is updated according to the received status information. For example, if the target information is the status information that the conference has been opened, after the target terminal receives the status information, the status of the initiated conference is updated to opened.

[0068] like Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a conference control method for a visual network, which is applied to a visual network terminal, and the method includes:

[0069] Step 301: receiving initial conference control information sent by a target terminal via a wireless local area network.

[0070] It should be noted that the visual networking terminal supports the visual networking protocol and can communicate in the visual networking. The target terminal can be a dedicated visual networking tablet, whose functions include but are not limited to: initiating, establishing, and controlling meetings; the target terminal can also be a smart device with a visual networking conference scheduling application installed, such as: a smart phone with a visual networking conference scheduling application installed.

[0071] The initial conference control information is the conference control information encapsulated by the target terminal using the Internet protocol. The conference control information is used to start a network conference or control an already started network conference. The Internet protocol is the transmission control protocol.

[0072] Step 302, encapsulate the initial conference control information through the visual networking protocol to obtain intermediate conference control information.

[0073] It should be noted that the initial conference control information encapsulated by the visual networking protocol can be sent to the visual networking environment and further processed by a device that supports the visual networking protocol.

[0074] Step 303: Send the intermediate conference control information to the conference scheduling server, so that the conference scheduling server performs scheduling service processing according to the intermediate conference control information when the service type to which the intermediate conference control information belongs is a scheduling service type.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the target terminal initiates conference control, the conference control information is transmitted by the visual network terminal, which can ensure that the conference scheduling server smoothly receives the conference control information and avoid the target terminal directly connecting to the Internet. While improving security, the scheduling business processing during the conference can be completed even without the Internet.

[0076] Optionally, the visual networking terminal is provided with a wireless local area network module; before receiving the initial conference control information sent by the target terminal through the wireless local area network, the method further includes:

[0077] Create a wireless LAN through the wireless LAN module;

[0078] A connection is established between the visual networking terminal and the target terminal through a wireless local area network.

[0079] It should be noted that the wireless local area network module is a wireless Internet access (Wi-Fi) hotspot module. The Wi-Fi hotspot it creates does not need to be connected to the Internet, thus eliminating security risks from the Internet.

[0080] like Figure 4 As shown, it is an application architecture diagram of a conference control method of a visual network provided by an embodiment of the present invention, including: a target terminal, a visual network terminal, a conference scheduling server and a conference management server;

[0081] The target terminals include:

[0082] The business processing module is decoupled from the communication module and uses the communication interface layer to implement data encapsulation and transmission.

[0083] The communication module establishes a TCP long connection with the video network terminal. It realizes the reception and transmission of conference business data, audio and video data. The messages actively pushed by the conference management server are also processed and forwarded by this module. In the process of transmitting communication data, only the protocol header is modified, and no modification is made to other parts of the data.

[0084] The audio and video module 2 is an audio and video software development kit, which is used to encode and decode audio and video data.

[0085] The audio and video module 1 is used to display the audio and video data decoded by the audio and video module 2 on the display unit of the target terminal.

[0086] The hotspot module in the visual networking terminal is used to create a wireless local area network and receive conference control information sent by the target terminal connected to the wireless local area network it created. The conference control information received by the hotspot module is processed by the TCP / IP module and the media forwarding module, and then encapsulated by the visual networking protocol processing module using the visual networking protocol, and the encapsulated conference control information is sent to the conference scheduling server through the visual networking transparent transmission channel.

[0087] The conference scheduling server supports the visual networking protocol. After receiving the conference control information sent by the visual networking terminal, it can parse the conference control information encapsulated by the visual networking protocol; then the TCP processing module uses the transmission control protocol for processing, and the business identification processing module identifies the processing result of the TCP processing module. When it is determined that the business type to which the conference control information belongs is a scheduling business type, the conference scheduling logic processing module processes the conference control information. When it is determined that the business type to which the conference control information belongs is a management business type, the conference control information processed by the TCP processing module is sent to the conference management server, which receives and parses it through the TCP module, and sends the parsing result to the management business processing module for processing. Among them, the management business processing module can perform conference management business processing for the received conference control information. Of course, the message published by the message publishing module can be sent to the management business processing module through the real-time message processing module, and then sent to the target terminal via the TCP module, the conference scheduling server, and the visual networking terminal.

[0088] Preferably, the conference management server is also provided with an HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) interface layer, and the conference management server can be accessed through HTTP requests.

[0089] The target terminal is also equipped with a communication software development package, which provides a unified data sending and receiving interface service and supports TCP protocol and HTTP protocol communication. The target terminal can also directly initiate a videophone service through the wireless local area network created by the video networking terminal, using the video networking number of the video networking terminal itself. The video networking terminal forwards the audio and video streams to the target terminal for display. As the called terminal, if the wireless local area network created by the video networking terminal is connected to the target terminal, the videophone service signaling will be forwarded to the target terminal, and the operation can be performed directly on the target terminal, and audio and video display is supported.

[0090] The target terminal initiates a service request for resource on-demand through the wireless local area network created by the visual networking terminal. The visual networking terminal directly executes the resource on-demand function that it has already implemented, obtains audio and video streams from the recording and broadcasting server by watching live broadcasts, and copies and forwards them to the target terminal.

[0091] It should be noted that the media forwarding module of the visual network terminal supports three types of signaling encapsulation and analysis, as well as audio and video copying and forwarding functions: conference scheduling service, conference management service, and videophone service.

[0092] Signaling analysis can identify the type of application at the sending end. Depending on the initiator and protocol type, service transparent transmission or management transparent transmission can be selected during visual network communication.

[0093] Audio and video copying and forwarding function: the visual network terminal can directly copy a copy of the audio and video stream of the speaker, video phone, and resource on-demand, and forward it to the target terminal; the local video stream of the target terminal is output as the auxiliary source of the visual network terminal.

[0094] For the target terminal, you can use Figure 5 The UI (User Interface) module may include but is not limited to conference control, video phone, resource on-demand, remote control, user login and settings.

[0095] The business modules include but are not limited to the basic conference control module, audio and video processing module, resource on-demand module, password security module, videophone module, real-time message processing module, remote control, user login and setting module. Among them, the basic conference control module includes meeting / pause, speaker switching, one-key call, group management, quick meeting, multi-screen meeting; the audio and video processing module includes audio and video encoding and audio and video decoding; the resource on-demand module includes local on-demand and terminal on-demand;

[0096] The interface layer includes the communication interface; the communication + data module includes HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol over SecureSocket Layer) and WebSocket.

[0097] See also Figure 6 , which is a signal flow diagram of a conference control method for a video network provided by an embodiment of the present invention;

[0098] The target terminal sends conference control information through the wireless local area network created by the visual networking terminal, wherein the conference control information is used to obtain conference group information; after receiving the conference control information, the visual networking terminal encapsulates it using the visual networking protocol, and sends the encapsulated conference control information to the conference scheduling server by means of information transparent transmission; the conference scheduling server parses and identifies it, and when it is determined that the information carried in the conference control information is for obtaining conference group information, it transmits the conference control information to the conference management server by means of information transparent transmission, and the conference management server manages the group information and returns the group information to the target terminal via the conference scheduling server and the visual networking terminal.

[0099] Similarly, the target terminal can also send conference control information through the wireless local area network created by the visual networking terminal, where the conference control information is used to start the meeting; when the conference scheduling server receives the conference control information, it determines that the information carried in the conference control information is to start the meeting, and then processes it at this layer, that is, the conference scheduling server performs a conference validity check and starts the meeting when the meeting is valid. The conference scheduling server also returns the meeting start status from the visual networking terminal to the target terminal.

[0100] Of course, the conference scheduling server can also report some conference-related logs to the conference management server, which will store them. At the same time, after confirming that the conference terminal is updated, the conference scheduling server will transparently transmit the updated status message to the visual network terminal, and then send it to the target terminal, which will update the conference terminal status.

[0108] A parsing unit, used for parsing the intermediate conference control information through the visual networking protocol to obtain a parsing result;

[0109] The identification unit is used to determine that the service type to which the intermediate conference control information belongs is a scheduling service type when the parsing result includes a scheduling service identifier; when the parsing result includes a management service identifier, determine that the service type to which the intermediate conference control information belongs is a management service type.

[0110] Optionally, the second processing module is specifically used to repackage the parsing results using the Internet protocol to obtain the destination conference control information; and send the destination conference control information to the conference management server through the visual network transparent channel, so that the conference management server performs management business processing according to the destination conference control information.
