[0042] 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.

[0043] Figure 2 A conference control method for a video network provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown, which is applied to a proxy server. The method comprises the following steps:

[0044] Step 201, receiving the intermediate conference control information sent by the video networking terminal.

[0045] It should be noted that the intermediate conference control information is information obtained by encapsulating the received initial conference control information through the visual networking protocol. The initial conference control information is information sent by the target terminal to the visual networking terminal through the local area network. Preferably, the initial conference control information is information generated by the target terminal using the Internet protocol to encapsulate the conference control instructions. Among them, the conference control instructions include but are not limited to conference start instructions, conference recording instructions, auxiliary source control instructions, switching instructions, etc.

[0046] The visual network terminal and the proxy server are connected through the visual network, and a visual network transparent transmission channel is established between the two. The visual network terminal sends the intermediate conference control information to the proxy server through the visual network transparent transmission channel.

[0047] 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.

[0048] Step 202, parse the intermediate conference control information through the visual networking protocol, and repackage the parsing result using the Internet protocol to obtain the target conference control information.

[0049] It should be noted that both the video networking terminal and the proxy server support the video networking protocol, so the proxy server can identify and parse the intermediate conference control information encapsulated by the video networking protocol. At the same time, in order to transmit the data information carried in the intermediate conference control information from the unified scheduling server to the conference management server; the Internet protocol can be used to re-encapsulate the parsing results to obtain the target conference control information; the Internet protocol is the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).

[0050] Step 203: Send the destination conference control information to the conference management server through the unified scheduling server, so that the conference management server starts the conference or controls the started conference according to the destination conference control information.

[0051] It should be noted that the proxy server, the unified dispatch server and the conference management server can communicate with each other. Preferably, the proxy server, the unified dispatch server and the conference management server of the network are located in the same intranet, which is an IP (Internet Protocol) network, so that the destination conference control information can be transmitted to the conference management server without going through the external network. Figure 3 In the application architecture diagram of the conference control method of the visual network shown, the proxy server and the unified scheduling server are both set in the operation and maintenance server; the autonomous server, the third visual network server, the operation and maintenance server and the conference management server are located in the same IP network. The visual network scheduling tablet, the visual network terminal, the streaming media server, the recording and broadcasting server, the first visual network server, the second visual network server and the visual network devices are connected through the visual network.

[0052] The conference management server is a server that manages and schedules network conferences in the visual network. The unified scheduling server can be the background server of the visual network conference scheduling application installed in the target terminal.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present invention, a conference control method of a visual network is applied to a proxy 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. 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. Compared with the way of transmitting information over the Internet, the intermediate conference control information is sent by the visual network terminal through the visual network protocol, which can improve the security of data transmission. The intermediate conference control information is parsed through the visual network protocol, and the parsing result is re-encapsulated using the Internet protocol to obtain the destination conference control information; the destination conference control information is sent to the conference management server through the unified scheduling server, so that the conference management server starts the conference or controls the opened conference according to the destination conference control information. The proxy server can realize the conversion of data information between the visual network protocol and the Internet protocol. When the target terminal initiates conference control, the conference control information is transmitted by the visual network terminal; and the conference control information is transmitted to the conference management server through the proxy server. In this process, the target terminal can be prevented from being directly connected to the Internet. This improves security while allowing meetings to be controlled even without the Internet.

[0054] Optionally, the method further includes:

[0055] Receive target information sent by the meeting management server through the unified scheduling server;

[0056] 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.

[0057] 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.

[0058] like Figure 4 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:

[0059] Step 401: receiving initial conference control information sent by a target terminal via a wireless local area network.

[0060] 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.

[0061] The initial conference control information is information generated by the target terminal using the Internet protocol to encapsulate the conference control instructions, wherein the conference control instructions include but are not limited to conference start instructions, conference recording instructions, auxiliary source control instructions, switching instructions, etc.

[0062] Step 402, encapsulate the initial conference control information through the visual networking protocol to obtain intermediate conference control information.

[0063] 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.

[0064] Step 403, the intermediate conference control information is sent to the proxy server, so that the proxy server parses the intermediate conference control information and repackages the parsing result using the Internet protocol to obtain the target conference control information, and sends the target conference control information to the conference management server through the unified scheduling server.

[0065] It should be noted that the proxy server supports the visual networking protocol and the Internet protocol, so that the information sent by the visual networking terminal can be sent to the device supporting the Internet protocol after protocol conversion, thereby sending the destination conference control information to the conference management server through the unified scheduling server.

[0066] 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 and the proxy server, which can ensure that the conference management server receives the conference control information smoothly and avoid the target terminal from directly connecting to the Internet. Thus, while improving security, the conference control can be completed even without the Internet.

[0067] 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:

[0068] Create a wireless LAN through the wireless LAN module;

[0069] A connection is established between the visual networking terminal and the target terminal through a wireless local area network.

[0070] 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.

[0071] like Figure 5 As shown, it is an application architecture diagram of the conference control method of the visual network provided by the embodiment of the present invention, including: a target terminal, a visual network terminal, a proxy server, a unified scheduling server, and a conference management server;

[0072] The target terminals include:

[0073] The business processing module is decoupled from the communication module and uses the communication interface layer to implement data encapsulation and transmission.

[0074] 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.

[0075] 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.

[0076] 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.

[0077] 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 proxy server.

[0078] The proxy server parses the received conference control information encapsulated by the visual network protocol through the visual network protocol module, re-encapsulates it using HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) protocol module, and sends it to the conference management server via the HTTP interface processing module and business processing module of the unified scheduling server. The conference management server receives the conference control information sent by the unified scheduling server through its own HTTP interface processing module. Preferably, the proxy server, the unified scheduling server and the conference management server are located in the same IP intranet.

[0079] The conference scheduling and conference management business processing modules of the conference management server are used to perform corresponding processing according to the received conference control information, which will not be repeated here. The conference management server can publish messages by push, and the published messages are sent to the target terminal via the message subscription and TCP message push modules of the unified scheduling server, the TCP protocol module and the visual network protocol module of the proxy server, and the visual network protocol processing module, media forwarding module and hotspot module of the visual network terminal. The target terminal is also provided with a real-time message processing module for processing messages published by the conference management server.

[0080] Preferably, the target terminal is also provided with a communication software development package, which provides a unified data sending and receiving interface service and supports TCP protocol and HTTP protocol communication.

[0081] The target terminal can also directly initiate a video phone service through the wireless local area network created by the video networking terminal, using the video networking terminal's own video networking number, and 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 video phone 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.

[0082] 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.

[0083] 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.

[0084] 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.

[0085] 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.

[0086] For the target terminal, you can use Figure 6 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.

[0087] 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;

[0088] The interface layer includes the communication interface; the communication + data module includes HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol over SecureSocket Layer) and WebSocket.

[0089] See also Figure 7 , which is a signal flow diagram of a conference control method for a video network provided by an embodiment of the present invention;

[0090] The target terminal sends a start-meeting instruction through the wireless local area network created by the visual network terminal. The visual network terminal re-encapsulates the start-meeting instruction using the visual network protocol and sends it to the proxy server through business transparent transmission; the proxy server performs protocol conversion, re-encapsulates the start-meeting instruction using the Internet protocol, and sends the re-encapsulated start-meeting instruction to the unified scheduling server. The unified scheduling server first detects the validity of the meeting. If the meeting is invalid, it returns an invalid meeting or failure message; if the meeting is valid, it sends a start-meeting instruction to the conference management server. The conference management server starts the network conference according to the start-meeting instruction and returns the conference status to the target terminal. The conference management server can also push the status information of the participants to the target terminal. After receiving the status information, the target terminal updates the status of the participants.

[0092] The first receiving module 81 is used to receive the intermediate conference control information sent by the visual networking terminal; wherein the intermediate conference control information is the information obtained by the visual networking terminal by encapsulating the received initial conference control information 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;

[0094] The first sending module 83 is used to send the destination conference control information to the conference management server through the unified scheduling server, so that the conference management server starts a conference or controls the started conference according to the destination conference control information.

[0095] Optionally, the initial conference control information is information generated by the target terminal by encapsulating the conference control instruction using the Internet protocol.

[0096] Optionally, the device further comprises:

[0097] The first return module is used to receive the target information sent by the conference management server through the unified scheduling server;
