Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of display technology. Specifically, this application relates to a method and apparatus for displaying video windows in a video conference, as well as a video conference system. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in a conference room environment, a conference tablet is often used for online meetings. A conference tablet is an intelligent tablet integrating functions such as intelligent writing, wireless screen sharing, video conferencing, and remote collaboration. The conference tablet can install video conferencing software to conduct video conferences with other online users. The window arrangement of the video conferencing interface of the existing conference tablet is generally arranged in a way of one large picture and multiple small pictures. For example, Figure 1 as shown Figure 1 is a common picture arrangement diagram for video conferences. The large window picture will automatically switch to the picture of the video window of the user with the largest microphone volume in the current video conference. The small picture windows are the pictures of each user's video windows, arranged in a list of multi-page video windows.

[0003] When a user needs to find and focus on a user, they need to continuously switch on the video window list to find the video picture of the focused user. When the number of users in the video conference is small, the user can still find the focused video picture. However, when the number of users in the video conference is large, such as reaching several hundred people, since there are too many video pictures on the list, it will become extremely difficult for the user to find the video window they want to focus on among these video pictures, seriously affecting the search efficiency for the video picture of the user they are interested in.

[0069] The video window display solution for video conferencing provided by the present application can be applied to the scenario of a conference tablet. In the case of a large picture and multiple small pictures, without affecting the display of the large picture, the video windows of the users to be concerned are displayed on the same interface. In a multi-person video conference, when there are multiple video pictures of users to be concerned, it is possible to avoid constantly switching to search for the users to be concerned, thereby improving the efficiency of searching for video pictures.

[0070] Reference Figure 2 as shown Figure 2 is a flowchart of a video window display method for a video conference in an embodiment, which mainly includes the following steps:

[0071] S110, create at least one custom video window on the large window picture of the video conference interface; wherein, the custom video window is used to display the video pictures of the users to be concerned.

[0072] In this step, multiple custom video windows are created on the large picture window to display the video pictures of the users to be concerned.

[0073] In addition, before creating a custom video window, the view mode of the video conferencing system can be selected first. In the "one large and multiple small" mode, a view interface with one large video and multiple small videos is displayed on the video conferencing interface; in the "custom window" mode, enter the view mode of the custom window position. At this time, these created custom video windows can be used to add the video images of the users to be followed.

[0074] S120, select the user to be followed from the user list on the video conferencing interface, and extract the video image corresponding to the user to be followed from the video window list.

[0075] In this step, the user to be followed is selected from the user list, and the function of adding a video image is triggered, so as to extract the video image of the user to be followed from the video window list of the video conference and prepare for the addition process.

[0076] As an embodiment, the solution for selecting the user to be followed may include the following:

[0077] a. Expand the user directory in the user list on the video conferencing interface; refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of selecting the user to be followed; first, open the user list and then open the user directory.

[0078] b. Select any user in the user directory as the user to be followed, and trigger the operation of adding a user video window for the user to be followed.

[0079] Specifically, as Figure 3 , select a user in the user directory as the user to be followed, and then select the "add user video window" function, which triggers the function of adding the video image of the user to be followed to the custom video window.

[0080] S130, add the video image corresponding to the user to be followed to the custom video window for display.

[0081] In this step, after setting the user to be followed, the corresponding video image is added to the custom video window for display, so as to facilitate the user to quickly find the user to be followed.

[0082] In the solution of the above embodiment, at least one custom video window is created on the large window screen of the video conferencing interface to display the video screen of the user to be followed. Then, the user to be followed is selected from the user list, and the corresponding video screen of the user to be followed is extracted and added to the custom video window for display. This solution can select the user to be followed on the interface of the conference tablet and display their video screen on the same interface without affecting the display of the large screen, avoiding the situation where users need to constantly switch to view the video screen of the user they are following in a multi-person video conference and improving the search efficiency for the video screen of the user to be followed.

[0083] To make the technical solution of this application clearer, several embodiments of this application will be further elaborated below.

[0084] For the position of the set custom video window, two methods of fixed position and draggable position can be adopted, specifically as follows:

[0085] (1) At least one video window is created on the large window screen of the video conferencing interface according to the set number of video windows and the resolution of each video window; the video windows are arranged according to the set layout rules; wherein, the positions of the video windows are fixed.

[0086] As Figure 4 shown, Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the custom video window corresponding to the display of 180p video screen; in the figure, 12 custom video windows are preset, and each custom video window corresponds to the display of 180p video screen. Again, as Figure 5 shown, Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the custom video window corresponding to the display of 360p video screen. In the figure, 8 custom video windows are preset, and each custom video window corresponds to the display of 360p video screen; the positions of these custom video windows are fixed and arranged or sorted according to certain rules. Taking Figure 3 as an example, the 12 custom video windows in the figure all have corresponding numbers and resolutions. Similarly, Figure 4 the 8 custom video windows in

[0087] (2) According to the set resolution of the video window, a video window is created on the large window screen of the video conferencing interface; the video window is placed at a default position; wherein, the position of the video window is draggable.

[0088] This solution means that the custom video window creates at least one default video window at a specified position on the large window screen. Initially, the video window is placed at a default position, for example, it can be placed at the center of the large window screen, and each video window can be dragged arbitrarily. As Figure 6 shown,Figure 6 It is a schematic diagram showing a custom video window in the default position. In the figure, there are custom video windows of 180P and 360P. After each video picture is added, the user can drag these custom video windows to move their positions.

[0089] In one embodiment, for the display process of step S130, based on the two cases of custom windows provided in the foregoing embodiments, accordingly, the following two display schemes (1) and (2) can be designed. It should be noted that these two methods are exemplary schemes, and other types of schemes can also be adopted in actual applications. The following elaborates on these two schemes.

[0090] (1) If the position of the custom video window is fixed, then the method of step S130 may include:

[0091] Obtain the sorting information of the custom video window and its window usage status; add the video picture corresponding to the concerned user to the target custom video window for display according to the sorting information and window usage status; wherein, the target custom video window is the custom video window that is not in use and has the smallest window number.

[0092] Specifically, as Figure 4 shown in, in the order of numbers 1-12, and according to the occupancy situation of the window, add the video picture to the custom video window that is not in use and has the smallest window number.

[0093] In the scheme of the foregoing embodiment, the user can add the video pictures of the concerned users to the video windows at fixed positions according to needs. This scheme for adding video pictures is relatively simple, and the video pictures can be directly sent to the custom video windows.

[0094] As an embodiment, after the video picture is added, the video picture can also be removed from the custom video window. Accordingly, the scheme of the present application may further include:

[0095] (a) Select any concerned user on the user list, trigger an operation to remove the user's video window for the concerned user, and remove the video picture of the concerned user from the custom video window.

[0096] In this scheme, by selecting any concerned user on the user list, an operation is triggered to remove their video pictures from the custom video window.

[0097] (b) Select the video picture of any concerned user in the custom video window; trigger the removal control preset on the custom window to remove the video picture corresponding to the concerned user from the custom video window.

[0098] In this solution, by selecting any video frame and using the "Remove" control on the custom open window where the video frame is located, after the user selects it, the video frame will be removed; refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of removing a video frame, where Figure 7 (a) is the schematic diagram before removal, Figure 7 (b) is the schematic diagram after removal. In the figure, there are frame A, frame B, and frame C, and frame B is removed. Further, as Figure 8 shown, Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of the display position of the newly added video frame. When adding frame D, frame D is added to the video window with the smallest window number that is not in use in the custom video window, that is, the original position of frame B.

[0099] As an embodiment, after the video frame is displayed, the display position of the video frame can also be adjusted. Accordingly, this application also provides a solution for changing the position of the video frame by dragging, which specifically includes:

[0100] Perform a drag operation on the video frame corresponding to the concerned user displayed in any custom video window of the video conference interface; continuously judge the distance between the dragged video frame and each other custom video window. When the distance between the video frame and any custom video window reaches the set threshold, move the video frame to this custom video window for display.

[0101] Specifically, as Figure 8 shown, Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of changing the position of the video frame by dragging. Among them, Figure 8 (a) is the schematic diagram before dragging, Figure 8 (b) is the schematic diagram during dragging, Figure 8 (c) is the schematic diagram after dragging is completed. Assume that frame A is to be dragged to the unused custom video window 5 (i.e., the preset position 5). During the dragging process, it is judged that when the condition is reached, the window position can be changed. The judgment method is as follows: the coordinates (x1, y1) of the upper left corner of the custom video window where frame A is located and the coordinates (x2, y2) of the upper left corner of the preset position 5 are used to calculate the straight-line distance D between the two points. When D is less than a set constant value, it can be considered that the custom video window of the current frame A meets the condition of being replaced to the preset position 5. If this condition is not met, frame A returns to its original preset position.

[0102] In addition, during the dragging process, the boundaries of the custom video window can also be highlighted to facilitate real-time viewing of the dragging state.

[0103] The solution of the above embodiment provides a solution for dragging the position of a custom video window, which facilitates the user to drag the video picture to be displayed on another custom video window. During the dragging process, it is judged by determining the distance between the video picture and other custom video windows. When the distance reaches the set threshold, it indicates that the user wants to display the video picture on the corresponding custom video window. When this condition is met, the video picture is moved to the custom video window for display.

[0104] Furthermore, the present application also provides a solution for swapping the positions of video pictures. Accordingly, this solution may further include:

[0105] Performing a dragging operation on the video picture corresponding to the concerned user displayed in any custom video window of the video conference interface; when the video picture is dragged to a set distance from the video picture corresponding to the concerned user displayed in another custom video window, swap the positions of the video pictures corresponding to the concerned users in the two custom video windows.

[0106] Refer to Figure 9 as shown. Figure 9 is a schematic diagram after swapping the positions of video pictures; on the basis of Figure 7 (a), drag picture A to the position of picture B, use the distance as the trigger condition, and after triggering, pictures A and B exchange positions, and the result is as Figure 9 shown.

[0107] In the above embodiment, when a video picture is dragged to another custom video window, it is considered that the user hopes to swap with the video picture in the custom video window, so as to perform the operation of swapping the positions of the video windows.

[0108] (2), for the custom video window whose position is draggable, the method of step S130 may include:

[0109] Display the video picture corresponding to the concerned user on the custom video window at the default position; move the corresponding video picture to the target position for display according to the dragging operation performed by the user on the defined video window.

[0110] Specifically, as Figure 10 shown, Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of freely dragging a video picture. After each video picture is added to the custom video window, the video picture is defaultly displayed at the center position of the large window picture. As shown in the two video pictures with different resolutions in the figure, the user can drag the custom video window to move the position of the video picture, and the two pictures can be placed at any position.

[0111] Further, the resolution of the video picture can also be switched. Accordingly, this solution may further include:

[0112] Trigger the resolution switching control preset on the custom window to switch the resolution of the video picture corresponding to the concerned user.

[0113] Furthermore, the video picture can also be removed. Accordingly, this solution may further include:

[0114] Select the video picture of any concerned user in the custom video window; trigger the removal control preset on the custom window to remove the video picture corresponding to the concerned user from the custom video window.

[0115] As Figure 11 shown, Figure 11 is a schematic diagram of switching resolution and removing video pictures. In the figure, resolution controls are respectively set on the custom video window. After being triggered by the user, the resolution can be switched. At the same time, a removal control is also set. After being triggered by the user, the video picture is removed. The size and resolution of the custom video window at the time of default generation shown in the figure are 180P. Buttons can be displayed after clicking on the window, and the size and video resolution of the current window can be changed.

[0116] Integrating the solutions of the above embodiments, for the custom video window, two methods of fixed position and draggable position are provided. Users can add the video pictures of concerned users to the video window at a fixed position or the draggable video window according to their needs. The video pictures on the video window at a fixed position can be dragged to other positions, and the positions of the video windows can also be interchanged. While the video pictures of the draggable video window can be dragged to any position for display; this solution enriches the display form of the video window and improves the usage effect of the solution.

[0117] To improve the display effect, the technical solution of this application also provides a technical solution for changing the transparency of the custom video window, so that the transparency of the displayed video picture can be controlled. Accordingly, this solution may further include:

[0118] Trigger the transparency parameter adjustment control on the custom video window to control the transparency of the video pictures of the concerned users displayed on the custom video window respectively.

[0119] In addition, this solution may also include:

[0120] Obtain the input transparency parameter and uniformly control the transparency of the video pictures of the concerned users displayed on all custom video windows.

[0121] The above two methods can control the transparency of the video screens of the followed users. They can control each custom video window individually or uniformly. Through the transparency control, the video screens of the followed users can be displayed according to requirements, which can not only reduce the impact on the content of the large window screen but also enable users to observe the video screens of the followed users in real time, showing good application effects.
