[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, the process of creating a conference number in the existing conference system includes the following contents. First, after the conference server receives the conference number generation request from the client, the interface needs to be locked to avoid concurrency, and then the system generates a conference number, that is, generates a candidate conference number. After that, a database query is performed, and the system needs to access the database to check whether the candidate conference number has been used by other ongoing conferences, that is, to check whether the candidate conference number is repeated. If the candidate number is in use, the system must regenerate a new conference number and execute the query again, repeating the judgment and processing until an unused conference number is found. Finally, the conference number is allocated: once it is verified that the conference number is not in use, the conference number will be allocated, that is, the system will assign the number to the newly created conference.

[0033] The above existing conference number generation methods have the following problems: High performance consumption: Each time a meeting is created, since the generation of the conference number needs to be locked to avoid concurrency, the system throughput will be very low. At the same time, the system needs to perform multiple database queries to ensure the uniqueness of the number, which not only consumes system resources, but may also increase the database load due to multiple queries. Long delay time: Due to the reliance on continuous database queries to confirm the uniqueness of the number, the entire process may cause significant delays, especially when the system load is high or the database response is slow. The problem of poor scalability: As the number of users and the frequency of meetings increase, the efficiency problem of this conference number generation and verification mechanism will become more and more obvious, affecting the scalability and user experience of the entire system.

[0034] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a method for determining a conference number. By pre-generating a conference number, the above problems caused by generating a conference number when a conference needs to be created in the prior art can be solved, thereby improving the user experience.

[0035] In order to facilitate understanding and description, the following describes the execution process and actions of the real-time communication method of the present application in a real-time communication system as an example rather than a limitation.

[0036] The following is combined with Figure 2 The overall structure of a conference system provided by an embodiment of the present application is exemplarily described.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, a conference system provided by an embodiment of the present application includes: a client and a conference server.

[0038] The client in the embodiment of the present application may also be referred to as a user end or user equipment or terminal equipment. In the real-time example of the present application, the terminal equipment may be installed with a browser, and real-time communication may be performed through the browser, or an APP or applet may be installed, and real-time communication may be performed through the APP or applet. The terminal equipment in the present application may include a smart phone, a tablet computer, (personal digital assistant, PDA personal digital assistant), a computer, a game console, a wearable device, a tablet computer (portable android device, PAD), etc., and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, the conference server may also be referred to as a server, a video conference server, a remote server or a cloud server, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto. The conference server may determine the conference number based on the request of the client. The server may also generate the conference number in advance and put the conference number into the conference number pool so that the conference number can be directly selected after the client request is obtained.

[0040] It should be understood that Figure 2 The video conferencing system shown may be a WebRTC-based conferencing system. The corresponding communication architecture may be a mesh architecture, a multipoint conferencing unit (MCU) architecture, or a selective forwarding unit (SFU) architecture, but the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0041] The following is combined with Figure 3 The following is an exemplary description of a method for determining a conference number provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0042] like Figure 3 The method shown is applied to Figure 2 In the conference system shown, Figure 3 The methods shown include:

[0043] 310. The client sends a conference creation request to the conference server.

[0044] Correspondingly, the conference server obtains the conference creation request sent by the client.

[0045] For example, when a user needs to create a meeting, the user sends a meeting creation instruction, such as triggering the instruction through the create meeting function button on the client interface, or through other third-party applications, or through the user's voice command, etc. The client responds to the user's instruction, generates a meeting creation request, and sends it to the conference server.

[0046] It should be understood that there may be other situations in which the client sends a conference creation request. For example, the client automatically triggers the generation and sending of the conference creation request based on the user's reservation or pre-configuration, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0047] 320, the conference server directly selects the target conference number from the conference number pool.

[0048] The number pool includes a plurality of pre-generated conference numbers, the plurality of pre-generated conference numbers are different from each other, and the plurality of pre-generated conference numbers are also different from the conference number of the ongoing conference.

[0049] It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the conference server can randomly select a number from the conference number pool as the target conference number, or select the target conference number one by one in order, or select the target conference number according to preset rules. The embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

[0050] The embodiment of the present application generates a conference number in advance. When a conference needs to be created, the conference number can be directly selected from the pre-created conference numbers. Since there is no need to temporarily generate a conference number, the existing conference number can be directly used, which can shorten the response time and improve the user experience.

[0051] It should be understood that the target conference number can be any conference number in the number pool. Optionally, the conference server deletes the target conference number from the conference number pool after selecting it. That is, each time the conference server selects a conference number, there is one less number in the conference number pool.

[0052] Optionally, as another embodiment, Figure 3 The method shown may also include the conference server pre-generating a conference number pool. Specifically, the conference server may pre-generate an initial number set; filter out duplicate numbers in the initial number set to obtain a first number set; compare the numbers in the first number set with the numbers in the conference, remove the duplicate numbers with the numbers in the conference, obtain a second number set, and use the numbers in the second number set as the numbers in the number pool.

[0053] It should be understood that the numbers in the initial number set may be randomly generated by the conference server, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0054] There are many ways to filter out duplicate numbers in the initial numbers, such as matching them in pairs. For example, the characteristics of redis map can be used for filtering. For example, the numbers in the initial number set can be used as keys to perform hash calculations to obtain values. The numbers of the keys corresponding to the duplicate values ​​are filtered, and only one key corresponding to the value is retained. Similarly, the numbers in the first number set can be compared with the numbers in the meeting. The conference number in the meeting can be compared with the numbers in the first number set to remove duplicates. The above-mentioned hash calculation method can also be used to remove duplicates. The embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0055] It should be understood that the number of numbers in the above-mentioned initial number set can be greater than or equal to the capacity of the vacant numbers in the number pool. As an embodiment, the number of numbers in the initial number set is the capacity of the vacant numbers in the number pool; in this case, waste of resources can be avoided, but when there are duplicate numbers, the number in the number pool may not reach the upper limit. As another embodiment, the number of numbers in the initial number set is greater than the capacity of the vacant numbers in the number pool; in this case, there is a certain degree of redundancy, and when there are duplicate numbers, the first number set can be made as large as possible or equal to the capacity of the vacant numbers, and the number of the final second number set cannot be made as large as possible or equal to the capacity of the vacant numbers, thereby enabling the number of valid numbers in the number pool to reach the upper limit.

[0056] It should be noted that, when the number in the above-mentioned second number set is greater than the capacity of the vacant numbers, the conference server can select numbers corresponding to the capacity of the vacant numbers from the second conference number set and put them into the conference number pool. For example, it can be randomly selected, or numbers with the capacity of the vacant numbers can be selected sequentially. The embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0057] Furthermore, as another embodiment, after two deduplications, when the number of the second number set is less than the capacity of the vacant numbers in the number pool, the method may also include: continuing to generate new number sets, and deduplicating themselves and the numbers in the conference, and using the deduplicated numbers as the numbers in the number pool until the numbers in the number pool reach the preset number pool capacity.

[0058] 330. The conference server sends a target conference number to the client.

[0059] Correspondingly, the client receives the target conference number sent by the conference server.

[0060] Optionally, as an embodiment, the method may further include: regularly checking the number of numbers in the number pool, and determining whether to generate new numbers for supplementing the number pool according to the vacancy of numbers in the number pool.

[0061] For example, the conference server can detect the number of numbers in the conference number pool at fixed intervals. When the vacancy situation reaches the generation condition, the conference server automatically generates a conference number and adds the conference number to the pool until the upper limit of the conference number pool is reached. It will no longer be generated. When a vacant number is generated again in the number pool and needs to be generated, the number generation will continue to be triggered. It should be understood that the above-mentioned fixed period can be one minute, ten minutes, thirty minutes, one hour or one day, etc., and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this. The above-mentioned generation condition can be that the number of vacancies exceeds the preset number, or the vacancy ratio exceeds the vacancy ratio, for example, the vacancies exceed 20%, 30% or 50%, etc., and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0062] Optionally, as an embodiment, the method may further include: if it is determined that the number consumption rate of the number pool meets the expansion condition, expanding the number pool capacity of the number pool.

[0063] That is to say, the capacity of the number pool in the embodiment of the present application can be dynamically expanded and shrunk as needed. When the number pool in the embodiment of the present application is initialized, the upper limit of the number pool can be initialized according to the configured maximum capacity, minimum capacity and consumption rate. For example, the default initialization selects the minimum capacity. Once the number pool consumption speed reaches the threshold of the consumption rate, the capacity of the number pool is expanded to the maximum capacity. It should be understood that the threshold of the consumption rate can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation, such as digesting 500 in one minute, or digesting 1000 in one day. The above-mentioned maximum capacity can be twice the minimum capacity, for example, the minimum capacity is 1000, the maximum capacity is 2000, and the number of initialized number pools is 1000. Once the consumption is too fast, it exceeds the threshold of the fire rate. For example, the consumption speed reaches 500 in one minute, and the capacity of the number pool is expanded to the maximum capacity, i.e., 2000.

[0064] The embodiment of the present application sets the number pool to the minimum capacity by default to avoid waste of resources. When the fire rate is fast, the capacity can be expanded to increase redundancy and ensure that there are sufficient numbers in the number pool to reduce the number response time and improve the user experience.

[0065] Optionally, as an embodiment, the method may further include: when the number in the number pool is empty, immediately initializing the number pool.

[0066] It should be understood that the numbers in the number pool here are empty, which can be understood as all consumed, or can be understood as basically consumed, with only a small part left, for example, only 30%, 20%, etc.

[0067] Specifically, in actual applications, there may be a situation where the numbers in the number pool are emptied in a short time. For example, the number pool capacity is 1000, and 700 numbers are extinguished within one minute. In this case, the embodiment of the present application can generate numbers in an emergency. Once the number pool is empty, the emergency generation of numbers can be triggered to ensure normal number consumption. For example, it can be initialized immediately, that is, the number of numbers with a surplus is generated at one time. For example, if the capacity is 1000 and there are 300 numbers in it, 700 numbers are generated at one time to ensure normal number extinguishing.
