[0021] The following description of exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure is made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments of the present disclosure to facilitate understanding, which should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0022] In this disclosure, unless otherwise specified, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to describe various elements is not intended to limit the positional relationship, temporal relationship, or importance relationship of these elements. Such terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. In some examples, the first element and the second element may refer to the same instance of the element, while in some cases, based on the context of the description, they may also refer to different instances.

[0023] The terms used in the descriptions of various examples in this disclosure are for the purpose of describing specific examples only and are not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, if the number of elements is not specifically limited, the element may be one or more. In addition, the term "and / or" used in this disclosure encompasses any one and all possible combinations of the listed items.

[0024] In related technologies, users directly reserve matching conference rooms when initiating a conference reservation request. However, when conference room resources are limited or the timeframe for conference room reservations is restricted, users may encounter difficulties reserving matching conference rooms when initiating a conference reservation request. For example, when a matching conference room is not available at the time of the request, or when a matching conference room is not yet available for reservation. In such cases, users must search the conference room reservation system multiple times for matching conference rooms before the meeting begins. This process consumes users' time and effort, reducing conference room reservation efficiency.

[0025] Based on this, the present disclosure proposes a conference room reservation method, apparatus, computing device, computer-readable storage medium, and computer program product. These methods monitor the availability of a conference room that matches a conference reservation request and automatically reserve the conference room when a preset trigger condition is met. This eliminates the need for users to manually search for matching conference rooms, effectively improving conference room reservation efficiency.

[0026] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Figure 1FIG2 is a schematic diagram of an exemplary system 100 in which the various methods and apparatuses described herein may be implemented according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 , the system 100 includes one or more client devices 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, and 106, a server 120, and one or more communication networks 110 coupling the one or more client devices to the server 120. The client devices 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, and 106 can be configured to execute one or more applications.

[0028] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the server 120 may run one or more services or software applications that enable execution of the method for reserving a conference room.

[0029] In some embodiments, server 120 may also provide other services or software applications that may include non-virtualized environments and virtualized environments.

It should be understood that a variety of different system configurations are possible, which may differ from the system 100. Therefore, Figure 1 is one example of a system for implementing the various methods described herein and is not intended to be limiting.

[0031] The user may use client devices 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and / or 106 to input a conference reservation request. The client device may provide an interface that enables the user of the client device to interact with the client device. The client device may also output information to the user via the interface. Figure 1 Only six client devices are depicted, but one skilled in the art will appreciate that the present disclosure can support any number of client devices.

[0032] Client devices 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, and / or 106 may include various types of computer devices, such as portable handheld devices, general-purpose computers (such as personal computers and laptops), workstation computers, wearable devices, gaming systems, thin clients, various messaging devices, sensors or other sensing devices, and the like. These computer devices may run various types and versions of software applications and operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows, Apple iOS, UNIX-like operating systems, Linux, or Linux-like operating systems (such as Google Chrome OS); or various mobile operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows Mobile OS, iOS, Windows Phone, and Android.

Wearable devices may include head-mounted displays and other devices. Gaming systems may include various handheld gaming devices, internet-enabled gaming devices, and the like. Client devices are capable of executing a variety of different applications, such as various internet-related applications, communication applications (such as email applications), and short message service (SMS) applications, and may utilize various communication protocols.

[0033] The network 110 may be any type of network known to those skilled in the art that can support data communications using any of a variety of available protocols, including but not limited to TCP / IP, SNA, IPX, etc. By way of example only, the one or more networks 110 may be a local area network (LAN), an Ethernet-based network, a token ring, a wide area network (WAN), the Internet, a virtual network, a virtual private network (VPN), an intranet, an extranet, a public switched telephone network (PSTN), an infrared network, a wireless network (e.g., Bluetooth, WIFI), and / or any combination of these and / or other networks.

[0034] Server 120 may include one or more general-purpose computers, specialized server computers (e.g., PC (personal computer) servers, UNIX servers, mid-range servers), blade servers, mainframe computers, server clusters, or any other suitable arrangement and / or combination. Server 120 may include one or more virtual machines running virtual operating systems, or other computing architectures involving virtualization (e.g., one or more flexible pools of logical storage devices that may be virtualized to maintain a server's virtual storage device). In various embodiments, server 120 may run one or more services or software applications that provide the functionality described below.

[0035] The computing units in the server 120 may run one or more operating systems including any of the operating systems described above as well as any commercially available server operating systems. The server 120 may also run any of a variety of additional server applications and / or middle-tier applications, including HTTP servers, FTP servers, CGI servers, JAVA servers, database servers, and the like.

[0036] In some implementations, server 120 may include one or more applications to analyze and consolidate data feeds and / or event updates received from users of client devices 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, and 106.

[0037] In some embodiments, server 120 may be a distributed system server or a server integrated with blockchain. Server 120 may also be a cloud server, or an intelligent cloud computing server or intelligent cloud host equipped with artificial intelligence technology. A cloud server is a host product within the cloud computing service system that addresses the management difficulties and poor scalability of traditional physical hosts and virtual private servers (VPS) services.

[0038] The system 100 may also include one or more databases 130. In some embodiments, these databases can be used to store data and other information. For example, one or more of the databases 130 can be used to store information such as audio files and video files. The data repository 130 can reside in a variety of locations. For example, the data repository used by the server 120 can be local to the server 120, or can be remote from the server 120 and can communicate with the server 120 via a network-based or dedicated connection. The data repository 130 can be of different types. In some embodiments, the data repository used by the server 120 can be a database, such as a relational database. One or more of these databases can store, update, and retrieve data to and from the database in response to commands.

[0039] In some embodiments, one or more of the databases 130 may also be used by applications to store application data. The databases used by the applications may be different types of databases, such as a key-value store, an object store, or a conventional store backed by a file system.

[0040] Figure 1The system 100 may be configured and operated in various ways to enable the application of various methods and apparatuses described in accordance with the present disclosure.

[0041] Figure 2 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for processing conference room reservations according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Hereinafter, the steps of the method are described in detail using the server 120 as an example. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the method can also be applied to any device with a certain data processing capability.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the method may include: step S201, obtaining a conference reservation request; step S202, in response to a preset trigger condition being met, monitoring whether there is a conference room that matches the conference reservation request; and step S203, in response to monitoring at least one conference room that matches the conference reservation request, reserving one of the at least one conference room. This avoids the user having to manually search for matching conference rooms, effectively improving conference room reservation efficiency.

[0043] Regarding step S201, the conference reservation request may include one or more parameters related to the conference. For example, the user may set one or more parameters including information about the conference time, conference room, conference type, conference level, or attendee information through the conference reservation request. The attendee information refers to information about the participants selected by the conference organizer who initiated the conference.

[0044] According to some embodiments, the conference organizer may send a conference reservation request through the conference reservation page.

[0045] For example, Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a conference reservation page according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 As shown, the conference booking page may include conference time parameters and conference room parameters.

[0046] According to some embodiments, an initial conference notification message may be generated according to the conference reservation request, wherein at least one undetermined parameter in the initial conference notification message may be indicated as pending.

[0047] For example, if conference room resources are limited, a user may encounter a situation where there is no matching conference room when submitting a conference reservation request, and the conference room reservation cannot be completed. In this case, the undetermined conference room parameters in the initial conference notification message generated based on the conference reservation request can be displayed as pending.

[0048] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an initial conference notification page according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4As shown, the initial meeting notification page may include the time parameters that have been determined, and the conference room parameters that have not yet been determined, and the conference room parameters are marked as "pending".

[0049] According to some embodiments, the initial conference notification message may be sent to the participants included in the conference reservation request, thereby promptly notifying the participants of current information related to the conference.

[0050] According to some embodiments, based on the initial conference notification message, at least one control object may be displayed on a participant's terminal device, and the participant may reply whether to participate in the conference by controlling the at least one control object.

[0051] For example, based on the initial meeting notification message, buttons representing "Attend the meeting" and "Do not attend the meeting" are displayed on the participant's terminal device. The participant can reply to the meeting organizer to confirm his / her attendance by clicking the "Attend the meeting" button, and reply to the meeting organizer to indicate that he / she cannot attend the meeting by clicking the "Do not attend the meeting" button.

[0052] According to some embodiments, based on the messages replied to by multiple participants, the number and / or proportion of participants, as well as the number and / or proportion of non-participants, can be calculated and determined. The calculation results can be displayed on a display page of the conference organizer's terminal device to enable the conference organizer to determine the attendance intentions of the participants included in the conference reservation request.

[0053] With respect to step S202 , based on the obtained conference reservation request, monitoring of conference room resources may be initiated when a preset trigger condition is met to determine whether there is a conference room that matches the conference reservation request.

[0054] According to some embodiments, when a meeting reservation request includes a meeting start time, the preset trigger condition may include that the time difference between the current time and the meeting start time is less than or equal to a preset duration. This allows the server to limit the time it performs monitoring based on actual needs, thereby reducing the server's burden.

[0055] According to some embodiments, the same preset duration can be set for each conference reservation request, or different preset durations can be set for each conference reservation request based on parameters such as the conference type and level. For example, for important meetings with a higher level, a longer preset duration can be set to increase the probability of successful conference room reservation. This can address the high randomness of conference room reservations in related technologies and achieve the rational allocation of conference room resources.

[0056] According to some embodiments, the preset trigger condition may include that there is no conference room matching the conference reservation request. Thus, if no conference room is matched when the conference reservation request is issued, monitoring of conference room resources can be directly initiated to timely complete the conference room reservation.

[0057] According to some embodiments, the server may store information of multiple conference rooms and their reservation status, wherein each conference room information includes one or more conference room parameters including the location, equipment information, space size, number of people that can be accommodated or type of the conference room, and the reservation status of each conference room includes the time period in which the conference room has been reserved and / or not reserved.

[0058] The server can monitor the stored information of multiple conference rooms and their reservation status to determine whether there is a conference room that matches the meeting request. The monitoring can be achieved by periodically performing a search operation on the server. The frequency of the search can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0059] According to some embodiments, when a meeting reservation request includes a meeting start time and a meeting end time, the meeting rooms that match the meeting reservation request include those that are idle during the time period defined by the meeting start time and the meeting end time. This facilitates the determination of the meeting rooms that match the time parameters in the meeting reservation request.

[0060] The idle conference room refers to a conference room that has not been reserved during the time period.

[0061] According to some embodiments, a conference reservation request may include one or more filtering conditions, and conference rooms matching the conference reservation request include conference rooms that meet each of the one or more filtering conditions. This facilitates determining conference rooms that match the conference room parameters in the conference reservation request.

[0062] The one or more screening conditions included in the conference reservation request may include one or more conference room parameters included in each conference room information stored in the server.

[0063] According to some embodiments, the one or more filtering conditions may include at least one of location, equipment information, room size, capacity, or room type. Thus, a meeting organizer can conveniently define at least one of the location, equipment information, room size, capacity, or room type in a meeting room, so that the server can automatically reserve a meeting room that meets the requirements.

[0064] For example, Figure 3As shown, the conference organizer can enter one or more filtering conditions on the conference booking page, including Building 3 (i.e., location), small (10-20 people) (i.e., capacity), and ordinary conference room (i.e., conference room type).

[0065] Regarding step S203, according to some embodiments, the conference reservation request may include relevant information about each of the multiple participants, and reserving one of the at least one conference room may include: ranking the at least one monitored conference room based on the relevant information about each of the multiple participants; and reserving the conference room with the highest ranking among the at least one conference room. Thus, a preferred conference room among the at least one conference room can be automatically selected and reserved based on the relevant information about the multiple participants.

[0066] The relevant information of the participant may be at least one of the following information: the participant's name, rank, ID, number, email address, work position or work number.

[0067] According to some embodiments, sorting the at least one monitored conference room based on the relevant information of each of the multiple participants may include: determining location information corresponding to the relevant information of each of the multiple participants; and sorting the at least one monitored conference room based on the location information corresponding to the relevant information of each of the multiple participants. In this way, conference rooms that are preferred in terms of location for the multiple participants of the meeting can be automatically selected.

[0068] According to some embodiments, a mapping relationship between the relevant information and location information of multiple users may be stored in the server. Based on the mapping relationship, the location information of multiple participants corresponding to the relevant information of the multiple participants may be determined.

[0069] According to some embodiments, the at least one conference room may be ranked based on the sum of the distances between the multiple participants and each of the monitored conference rooms, wherein the ranking is negatively correlated with the sum of the distances between the conference rooms and the multiple participants.

[0070] According to some embodiments, Figure 5 The present invention is a method for executing a predetermined process on one of at least one conference room according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, the method may include: step S501, displaying a list of at least one monitored conference room name; step S502, receiving a selection operation for one of the conference rooms in the list of names; and step S503, reserving the conference room selected by the selection operation. In this way, a preferred conference room can be determined based on the user's selection, and a conference room that meets the user's expectations can be reserved.

[0071] According to some embodiments, the at least one monitored conference room may be sorted based on the relevant information of a plurality of participants, and the name list may be displayed in the order of sorting.

[0072] According to some embodiments, when at least one conference room that matches the conference request is monitored as a conference room, the conference room may be directly reserved.

[0073] According to some embodiments, the conference reservation request includes communication information of each of the plurality of participants. The method may further include: after reserving one of the at least one conference room, generating a conference notification message based on information about the reserved conference room and the conference reservation request; and sending the conference notification message to each of the plurality of participants based on the communication information of each of the plurality of participants. In this manner, the conference notification message including information about the reserved conference room can be automatically sent to each participant.

[0074] According to some embodiments, when an initial conference notification message has been generated based on a conference reservation request and the conference room parameters in the initial conference notification message are indicated as pending, conference notification information can be generated by modifying the conference room parameters in the initial conference notification message to relevant information of the reserved conference room.

[0075] According to some embodiments, the generated meeting notification information may be displayed via a meeting notification page.

[0076] Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a conference notification page according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 6 As shown, by changing the conference room parameter in the initial conference notification page from "to be determined" to "Conference Room 1, Building 3" (i.e., changing the conference room parameter in the initial conference notification message to the relevant information of the scheduled conference room), the following can be generated. Figure 6 The meeting notification page shown.

[0077] According to some embodiments, the conference reservation request may further include a reservation deadline, and the method may further include: in response to the reaching of the deadline and the failure to detect at least one conference room matching the conference reservation request, providing a reservation failure message. Thus, if a matching conference room is difficult to reserve, the conference organizer can promptly receive the reservation failure message and make adjustments to the meeting.

[0078] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the conference organizer can set the deadline for the conference reservation on the conference reservation page. For example, by setting the monitoring to "5 minutes before" the conference start time of 14:00, the deadline for the reservation can be set to 13:55.

[0079] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, Figure 7 As shown, a conference room reservation processing device 700 is also provided, which may include: an acquisition unit 701, configured to obtain a conference reservation request; a monitoring unit 702, configured to monitor whether there is a conference room that matches the conference reservation request in response to meeting a preset trigger condition; and a reservation unit 703, configured to perform a reservation on one of the at least one conference rooms in response to monitoring at least one conference room that matches the conference reservation request.

[0080] According to some embodiments, the conference reservation request may include a conference start time and a conference end time, and conference rooms matching the conference reservation request include conference rooms that are idle during the time period formed by the conference start time and the conference end time.

[0081] According to some embodiments, the preset trigger condition may include that the time difference between the current time and the meeting start time is less than or equal to a preset duration.

[0082] According to some embodiments, the preset trigger condition may include that there is currently no conference room matching the conference reservation request.

[0083] According to some embodiments, the conference reservation request may include relevant information of each of a plurality of participants, and the reservation unit includes: a sorting subunit, configured to sort at least one monitored conference room based on the relevant information of each of the plurality of participants; and a reservation subunit, configured to reserve a conference room with a higher ranking among the at least one conference room.

[0084] According to some embodiments, the conference reservation request may include communication information of each of a plurality of participants, and the device further includes: a generating unit configured to generate a conference notification message based on relevant information of the reserved conference room and the conference reservation request; and a sending unit configured to send the conference notification message to each participant based on the communication information of each of the plurality of participants.

[0085] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a computing device is also provided, comprising: at least one processor; and a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, and the instructions are executed by the at least one processor to enable the at least one processor to perform the above-mentioned method.
