Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of mixed reality technology, and in particular to a file management method, electronic device and storage medium for virtual meetings that create an efficient workflow in a virtual space. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of mixed reality technology, virtual meetings have become an important tool for modern enterprise management and team collaboration. Existing virtual meeting systems are mostly based on audio and video communications. Participants join meetings through computers or mobile devices and communicate using video and audio. However, these traditional audio and video conferencing systems have significant limitations in handling complex file management and efficient collaboration.

[0003] The description of the prior art and its shortcomings are as follows:

[0004] Limitations in interactive experience: Existing virtual conference systems mainly provide basic audio and video interactive functions, but lack effective support for file and multi-task operations. When processing complex documents or conducting data analysis, participants can only rely on limited screen sharing functions, and cannot perform flexible file management and efficient real-time collaboration. This single interactive mode limits the user's freedom of operation and is difficult to meet the needs of efficient work.

[0005] Inconvenient file operations: In current virtual conference applications, users lack a convenient transfer space when operating files between personal space and public display space. Users need to find files in their personal folders and then manually place them in the public display area, which is a cumbersome and error-prone process. The user's switching operation between personal files and public display is complicated and unintuitive, which can easily waste time in important meetings and affect the smooth progress of meetings.

[0006] The readability of document display: Due to the particularity of virtual space, the readability of document display is often not as good as traditional screen display. When displaying documents, the clarity of text and the resolution of images in existing VR systems may not be high enough, causing users to feel strenuous when reading documents, affecting the efficiency of meetings and user experience.

[0007] Chaotic multi-file management: Existing technologies are difficult to provide effective multi-file management tools. Users are inefficient when handling multiple tasks, which can easily lead to file confusion and information loss.

[0008] Limitations of interactivity and privacy: Although mixed reality virtual meetings provide a relatively interactive meeting method, they usually require users to provide higher permission settings in terms of file sharing and screen sharing, which may involve privacy leakage. In addition, file interactions in existing systems are usually one-way, that is, from one user to all users, and do not support flexible management of files from public areas back to personal areas. Summary of the invention

[0009] In view of the above technical problems, the present invention provides a file management method, an electronic device and a storage medium for a virtual meeting, so as to improve the work efficiency and user experience in the virtual meeting.

[0010] A first embodiment of the present invention provides a file management method for a virtual conference, the method comprising:

The files of each remote participant can be displayed and managed in the public projection area. The personal workbench is used to display and manage each remote participant's own files and is invisible to other remote participants. Remote participants select shared files that need to be shared and displayed through their personal workbenches and project them to the public projection area for other remote participants to view.

[0012] Optionally, the method further includes: projecting the shared file to a public projection area, allowing the projector and the conference host to edit the shared file.

[0013] Optionally, the method further includes: the personal workstation is presented through a virtual interface, and the remote participant operates the file through gestures, voice or a controller.

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal connection of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances. In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0027] In view of many problems existing in the prior art, the present invention proposes a file management method for virtual meetings, which is particularly suitable for virtual meetings in a mixed reality (MR) environment. In the prior art, the file management and sharing methods of virtual meetings have the problems of low efficiency and poor user experience. In view of these technical problems, the present invention proposes a file management method based on the combination of a personal workbench and a public projection area to improve the work efficiency and user experience in virtual meetings.

[0028] The present invention provides a file management method for a virtual conference, the method comprising:

[0029] A public projection area and a personal workbench corresponding to each remote participant are set up in a virtual meeting created in a virtual space. The files of each remote participant can be displayed and managed in the public projection area. The personal workbench is used to display and manage the files of each remote participant and is invisible to other remote participants.

[0030] Remote participants select the shared files to be shared and displayed through their personal workstations and project them to the public projection area for other remote participants to view.

[0031] For details, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown in the figure, in the virtual space, multiple users (remote participants) enter the virtual meeting space through mixed reality. The virtual meeting room is equipped with a public projection area, multiple personal workstations, and a 3D model sharing default area for displaying 3D models. Please refer to Figure 2As shown, the public projection area is located in front of the conference table in the virtual space, which can be understood as a projection area for public use. Each user's files can be displayed and managed in the public projection area. Multiple personal workstations are set up in sequence, which can be arranged in a U-shaped or V-shaped manner, for displaying and managing each remote participant's own files and other remote participants are invisible. The default area for 3D model sharing is located between the personal workstation and the public projection area. Users can open the file list on the personal workstation and select the documents, videos, pictures, models and other files to be opened. These files are only displayed on the personal workstation, visible only to the user himself, and invisible to other users. When the file does not need to be projected for other users to view, the user edits the file on the personal workstation. The operation in the personal workspace is presented in the form of a virtual interface. The user operates the file through gestures, voice or controller. Specifically, the user displays, edits, processes graphics and analyzes the file on the personal workstation. The personal workstation includes multiple areas, which are used for the classification and management of different types of files. When a file needs to be projected for other users to view, the user selects the shared file to be shared and displayed through the personal workbench and projects it to the public projection area for other users to view. The projector and the conference host can interactively edit the shared file projected to the public projection area. The projector decides whether to cancel the projection and can copy the shared file from the public projection area to the personal workbench for display and interactive editing. Specifically, the remote participant can copy the shared file projected to the public projection area to the personal workbench for viewing and editing through gesture drag and drop or UI interaction.

[0032] The present invention sets a personal workbench as a file transfer station for users in a virtual meeting. After users open files in a virtual meeting, these files will be displayed on the personal workbench. A public projection area and a personal workbench are set in the virtual meeting. The personal workbench is used to display the files of remote participants, that is, the users themselves, and edit the files. When the user enters the virtual meeting, the files opened by the user are displayed on the personal workbench. The personal workbench is the user's personal operation space. The user can view and manage all opened files in this space. Before these files are projected to the public area, the viewing and operation of the files are only visible to the user himself. The user selects the files to be shared and displayed through the personal workbench, and projects them to the public area so that all participants can see the files. For the files projected in the public projection area, the projector and the conference host can interact by marking, etc. The other members can see the file content in the projection area. If they want to interact, they can drag the files projected from the public screen to the personal workbench for interaction.

[0033] Each user interface of the present invention has a personal workbench that is visible only to the user, allowing the user to pre-process the file before sharing to ensure the accuracy of the content, further improving the efficiency of the meeting and the user experience. The present invention solves the problem of inefficient file management and sharing in existing mixed reality meetings. The present invention provides an independent personal workbench where users can organize and pre-process files, thereby avoiding confusion and misoperation that may occur when performing file operations in the public projection area. The public projection area ensures the effective sharing and display of files, allowing all participants to view and discuss file contents synchronously.

[0034] Through the separation design of the personal workbench and the public projection area, the present invention allows users to manage and share files more efficiently, thereby improving the overall workflow efficiency of the meeting. Secondly, the user's operations on the personal workbench will not affect the meeting experience of other participants, avoiding interference from the public area. In addition, the file copying function from the public projection area to the personal workbench allows users to edit and preview files in their personal space, improving the flexibility and convenience of file operations. The present invention provides an innovative and efficient file management method, which significantly improves the user experience and work efficiency in virtual meetings.

[0035] The personal workbench of the present invention is a private operating space for each user in a virtual meeting. After the user opens files in the meeting, these files will be displayed on the personal workbench for the user to view and manage. The personal workbench is presented through a virtual interface, and the user can perform file operations through gestures, voice or controller. The workbench contains multiple areas for the classification and management of different types of files, such as document areas, picture areas and model areas. The present invention provides an independent file management space, so that users can efficiently organize and pre-process files in meetings and avoid confusion in public areas.

[0036] The public projection area of ​​the present invention is used to display files selected by users for sharing, and all participants can see and participate in the discussion. The public projection area is created in the conference space through virtual reality technology, and users select files through their personal workstations and project them to the public area. The present invention supports simultaneous projection of multiple files and automatically arranges files to optimize the display effect. In addition, users can also independently switch the display priority of files in the projection area through gestures. The present invention provides an efficient file sharing and display method, allowing all participants to synchronously view and discuss file contents, thereby improving the interactivity and efficiency of the meeting.

[0037] The present invention allows users to copy files in the public projection area to their personal workstation for preview and editing. Specifically, through simple gesture drag-and-drop operations or UI interactions, users can copy files from the public projection area to their personal workstation. The copied files can be edited and preprocessed in detail on the personal workstation. The present invention provides a flexible file management method, allowing users to perform in-depth file operations in their personal space, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of file processing.

[0038] The user of the present invention can pre-process the file on the personal workbench, such as adding comments, marking important content or adjusting the format. The personal workbench provides a series of tools, including text editing, image processing and data analysis tools, which the user can use to pre-process the file. It enables the user to make necessary modifications and checks before sharing the file to ensure that the file content is accurate and improve the professionalism and efficiency of the meeting.

[0039] The present invention uses a separate design of a personal workbench and a public projection area, so that users can manage and share files more efficiently, significantly improving the overall work efficiency of the meeting. Operations on the personal workbench will not affect other participants, avoiding interference in the public area, and improving the user's operating experience and meeting fluency. The file copy function from the public projection area to the personal workbench allows users to freely edit and preview files in their personal space, improving the flexibility and convenience of file operations.

[0040] In addition, the present invention allows users to freely operate files on their personal workstations through gestures and voice, which increases the user's interactive freedom and improves operating efficiency. Through the classification management of different types of files, the personal workstation makes file management clearer and more organized, avoiding file confusion and information loss. The personal workstation provides an independent operating space, so users do not have to worry about privacy leaks when processing sensitive files, which improves the security of file management. It supports multiple users to perform file operations on their respective personal workstations at the same time, and collaborate and discuss through the public projection area to improve team collaboration efficiency. According to the needs of the participants, the public projection area can dynamically adjust the arrangement and display of files to optimize the display effect.

[0041] Unlike traditional virtual conference systems, the present invention introduces a personal workbench, allowing each user to have an independent file management area in the virtual space. The prior art only supports file display and operation in public areas and lacks personalized management tools. The personal workbench function of the present invention enhances the user's control over files and provides a more efficient way to handle files. In addition, the present invention improves privacy protection and security. Before projection, the present invention displays files only on the user's personal workbench, and files that are not projected will not be seen by other participants. In the prior art, file sharing and display often have the problem of insufficient privacy protection, which can easily lead to information leakage. The present invention effectively protects the user's privacy and improves the security of the meeting through the design of a personal workbench.

[0042] The present invention has flexible file interaction, supports users to freely copy and edit files between the public area and the personal workstation, and provides a more flexible file interaction mode. Compared with the relatively single file display and operation mode in the prior art, the two-way interactive design of the present invention enables users to preview and edit files more efficiently, thereby improving the collaborative efficiency of the meeting.
