[Brief description of the drawings]

[0038] In order to more clearly describe the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the following will briefly describe the drawings that need to be used in the embodiments or prior art description, and the drawings in the following description are only some of the embodiments described in the present invention, and it is obvious to those ordinary skilled in the art that they can obtain other drawings according to these drawings without creative efforts.

[0039] In order to allow those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described below clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, but it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and are not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments that can be obtained by ordinary skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0040] The inventor of the present invention has found through research that since schedule creation and multimedia conference belong to two independent program modules respectively, in related products, the operation of a user when setting parameters of a multimedia conference associated with a schedule is more cumbersome, and usually, a user needs to first complete the creation of a schedule and then configure the associated multimedia conference. For example, a user first creates a schedule, and after finishing the creation of the schedule, finds a schedule page of the schedule. The schedule page has a portal for setting parameters of a multimedia conference associated with the schedule, and the user triggers the setting of parameters of the multimedia conference through the portal.

[0041] Since the multimedia conference and the schedule are related to each other, the user needs to edit the schedule information and also needs to set the parameters of the multimedia conference. If the setting of the parameters of the multimedia conference can be triggered when editing the related information of the schedule, the process of setting the parameters of the multimedia conference can be effectively simplified and the efficiency of setting the parameters of the multimedia conference can be improved.

[0042] In view of this, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for setting parameters of a multimedia conference, which can improve the efficiency of setting parameters of a multimedia conference by triggering the setting of parameters of the multimedia conference in a schedule editing interface.

[0043] Various non-limiting embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail in conjunction with the drawings.

[0044] Exemplary Methods 1, which is a schematic flowchart of a parameter setting method for a multimedia conference provided by an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the method may be performed by a client, and may include, for example, the following steps S101 to S103:

[0045] In S101, in response to a multimedia conference setting operation triggered by a user in a first schedule editing interface, obtain a first conference link of a multimedia conference, and display a first setting page in the first schedule editing interface.

[0046] The first schedule editing interface is an editing interface related to a schedule, and a user can edit schedule information on the first schedule editing interface, such as the name of the edited schedule, the participants of the schedule, and the occurrence time of the schedule.

[0047] In one example, the first schedule editing interface is used to create a schedule, for example, a user can edit schedule information of the created schedule through the first schedule editing interface after triggering an operation to create a schedule. In another example, the first schedule editing interface is an editing interface of an already created schedule, and correspondingly, a user can change schedule information of the already created schedule through the first schedule editing interface. The schedule information referred to here includes, but is not limited to, information such as the schedule name, schedule participants, and schedule occurrence time described above.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present invention, in addition to editing schedule information on the first schedule editing interface, a user can also trigger a multimedia conference setting operation on the schedule editing interface. For example, the first schedule editing interface may include a first control, the first control is used to trigger a multimedia conference setting operation, and a user can use the first control (e.g., click the first control) to trigger the multimedia conference setting operation.

[0049] Hereinafter, description will be made in conjunction with Fig. 2, which is a schematic diagram of a first schedule editing interface provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 2, 201 in the first schedule editing interface 200 indicates an associated multimedia conference included in a schedule corresponding to the first schedule editing interface, and a user can trigger a multimedia conference setting operation by clicking 202 (corresponding to a first control) in the first schedule editing interface 200.

[0050] Other contents in the schedule details, such as the corresponding conference room, schedule reminder method, etc., can be indicated, for example, by "*****" in the area indicating "Schedule Details" in Fig. 2. Also, Fig. 2 is merely illustrated for ease of understanding and does not limit the embodiment of the present invention, and the contents of the first schedule editing interface are not limited to those shown in Fig. 2.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present invention, after the user triggers a multimedia conference setting operation in a first schedule editing interface, the client can obtain a first conference link of the multimedia conference in response to the multimedia conference setting operation triggered by the user in the first schedule editing interface.

[0052] In one example, the client may include a schedule module and a multimedia conference module, the schedule module is used to process information related to a schedule, and the multimedia conference module is used to process information related to a multimedia conference. The first conference link is assigned by the multimedia conference module, and a schedule participant can initiate or participate in a multimedia conference associated with the schedule by triggering the first conference link. In some embodiments, after a user triggers a multimedia conference setting operation in a first schedule editing interface, the schedule module can send a conference link assignment request to the multimedia conference module in response to the multimedia conference setting operation, and then the first conference link is assigned by the multimedia conference module.

[0053] In another example, the first conference link may be sent from a server to the client. In some embodiments, the client and the server include a schedule module and a multimedia conference module, respectively. After a user triggers a multimedia conference setting operation in a first schedule editing interface, the schedule module of the client can send a conference link allocation request to the multimedia conference module of the server in response to the multimedia conference setting operation, and then the multimedia conference module of the server can allocate the first conference link and send the first conference link to the client.

[0054] In addition, after the user triggers a multimedia conference setting operation in a first schedule editing interface, the client may also display a first setting page in the first schedule editing interface in response to the multimedia conference setting operation. The first setting page is used to set parameters of the multimedia conference. The first setting page can be understood with reference to FIG. 3, which is a schematic diagram of a first setting page provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, a user can set one or more parameters among the authority to participate in a multimedia conference (entrance authority), microphone settings of participants, and conference recording through the first setting page shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is illustrated for convenience of understanding, and does not limit the embodiment of the present invention, and the contents of the first setting page are not limited to those shown in FIG. 3.

[0055] In S102, a first multimedia conference parameter input by the user on the first setting page is obtained.

[0056] After the client displays the first setting page, the user can set parameters of the multimedia conference through the first setting page. In one example, the user can input first multimedia conference parameters in the first setting page, and the first multimedia conference parameters may include at least one parameter. The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the first multimedia conference parameters, and the first multimedia conference parameters may include one or more parameters, such as the authority to participate in the multimedia conference shown in FIG. 3, the microphone settings of the participants, and the conference recording.

[0057] In S103, in response to a save operation triggered by the user on the first setting page, the first multimedia conference parameters and the first conference link are associated and saved.

[0058] After completing input of the first multimedia conference parameters on the first setting page, the user can trigger a save operation on the first setting page, for example, the user can click a second control for triggering a save operation on the first setting page. The second control referred to here may correspond to 301 shown in FIG. 3, for example. After the first user triggers a save operation on the first setting page, the client can associate and save the first multimedia conference parameters and the first conference link in response to the save operation triggered by the user on the first setting page. Here, associating and saving the first multimedia conference parameters and the first conference link refers to saving the correspondence between the first multimedia conference parameters and the first conference link.

[0059] As can be seen from the above description, using the solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, a user can realize parameter setting for the multimedia conference associated with the schedule corresponding to the first schedule editing page by triggering a multimedia conference operation in the first schedule editing interface, which simplifies user operation and accordingly improves the efficiency of setting parameters for the multimedia conference.

[0060] As described above, the first schedule editing interface is an editing interface related to a schedule. A user can edit schedule information on the first schedule editing interface. In one example, after a user completes editing schedule information on the first schedule editing interface, a save operation can be triggered on the first schedule editing interface. For example, in the first schedule editing interface shown in FIG. 2, after a user inputs schedule information on a schedule addition page, the user can click a "Save" control shown in FIG. 2.

[0061] After a user triggers a save operation on the first schedule editing interface, the client can save the schedule information edited and completed by the user in the first schedule editing interface in response to the save operation triggered by the user on the first schedule editing interface, and further, the client can display the schedule information edited and completed in the first schedule editing interface in a schedule interface.

[0062] Regarding the schedule interface, the embodiment of the present invention is not specifically limited, in one example, each information in the edited and completed schedule information may correspond to one display area in the schedule interface, where the schedule interface may include a display area related to a multimedia conference, and the display area may display, for example, the first conference link mentioned above.

[0063] With respect to storing the edited and completed schedule information, it should be noted that in addition to storing the schedule information in the client of the schedule creator of the first schedule, the clients of the other participants in the first schedule also store the edited and completed schedule information. In one example, the client of the schedule creator of the first schedule can transmit the edited and completed schedule information to a server, and the server can transmit the edited and completed schedule information to the clients of the other participants in the first schedule.

[0064] Accordingly, the other participants' schedule interfaces may also display the edited and completed schedule information.

[0065] Here, a schedule creator of the first schedule can send a schedule invitation to other users, and the users who receive the schedule invitation are other participants of the first schedule. In addition, parameters of the multimedia conference associated with the first schedule are also valid for the other participants, and clients of the other participants can save the parameters of the multimedia conference associated with the first schedule. In one example, it is assumed that a user needs to change the first multimedia conference parameters after setting the first multimedia conference parameters. In view of this, the method may further include the following steps A1 to A3.

[0066] At A1, in response to a multimedia conference setting operation triggered by the user for an already created schedule, a second setting page is displayed, where the second setting page includes the first multimedia conference parameters, and the already created schedule is a schedule corresponding to the first schedule editing page.

[0067] The already-created schedule referred to herein may be a schedule corresponding to the first schedule editing interface described above. In one example, the already-created schedule may be a schedule created via the first schedule editing interface.

[0068] In one example, the user can trigger the multimedia conference setting operation in a schedule interface of the already created schedule, for example, the schedule interface includes schedule information of the already created schedule and a third control for triggering a multimedia conference setting operation, and the user can trigger the multimedia conference setting operation through the third control (e.g., by clicking the third control).

[0069] In another example, the user can trigger the multimedia conference setting operation in a schedule editing interface of the already-created schedule. For specific content of the user triggering the multimedia conference setting operation in the schedule editing interface of the already-created schedule, please refer to the part describing the user triggering the multimedia conference setting operation in the first schedule editing interface, and will not be described again here.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present invention, after the user triggers a multimedia conference setting operation for an already created schedule, the client can display a second setting page in response to the user triggers a multimedia conference setting operation for an already created schedule, where the second setting page includes the first multimedia conference parameters. Regarding the second setting page, reference can be made to the first setting page shown in Fig. 3, and detailed description will not be repeated here.

[0071] At A2, in response to a change operation triggered by the user on at least one of the first multimedia conference parameters displayed on the second setting page, a changed parameter is obtained.

[0072] In A3, in response to a save operation triggered by the user on the second setting page, second multimedia conference parameters are associated with the first conference link and saved, where the second multimedia conference parameters include the changed parameters and the unchanged parameters in the first multimedia conference parameters.

[0073] After the client displays the second setting page, the user may change at least one parameter of the first multimedia conference parameters based on the first multimedia conference parameters displayed on the second setting page. In response, the client may obtain the changed parameters. After the user completes the changes, the user may trigger a save operation on the second setting page (e.g., click a control for triggering a save operation). In response to the save operation triggered by the user on the second setting page, the client may associate and save the second multimedia conference parameters with the first conference link. Here, the second multimedia conference parameters include the changed parameters and unchanged parameters in the first multimedia conference parameters. The association and saving of the second multimedia conference parameters with the first conference link refers to saving a correspondence between the second multimedia conference parameters and the first conference link.

[0074] As described above, the first schedule editing interface is an editing interface related to a schedule. In one example, the schedule corresponding to the first schedule editing interface is a periodic schedule.

[0075] Regarding the periodic schedule, it should be noted that the so-called periodic schedule means a schedule that is repeatedly executed according to a certain period. The embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the period for repeatedly executing the periodic schedule, and the period may be, for example, a natural day, a week, or a month, which will not be enumerated and described here. When creating a schedule, a user can set the schedule as a periodic schedule. For an already created non-periodic schedule, a user can also change the non-periodic schedule to a periodic schedule by making parameter changes to the already created schedule.

[0076] In one example, if the schedule corresponding to the first schedule editing interface is a recurring schedule, the first conference link and the first multimedia conference parameters can be applied to each schedule of the recurring schedule.

[0077] In some embodiments, if the schedule corresponding to the first schedule editing interface is a periodic schedule, the user can change the parameters of the first schedule in the periodic schedule. The embodiments of the present invention do not specifically limit the changed parameters of the first schedule, and the changed parameters of the first schedule may be schedule participants of the first schedule, or other parameters of the first schedule, such as the name of the first schedule. Not listed here. Here, the user can change the parameters of the first schedule through the editing interface of the first schedule, and the editing interface of the first schedule can be understood with reference to FIG. 2, and will not be described here repeatedly.

[0078] The parameters of the first schedule are changed as follows, with an example being given here.

[0079] The periodic schedule is a seminar for a specific project that is conducted on a weekly basis. The schedule participants of the overlapping schedule are the participants of the project. Assuming that a new member is added to the project at a certain time (e.g., before the occurrence time of the first schedule), the user can add the new member as a schedule participant of the first schedule.

[0080] In some scenarios, when a user changes parameters of a first schedule, the user may not need to change parameters of the multimedia conference associated with the first schedule. In such a case, the user may not change parameters of the multimedia conference associated with the first schedule. It is assumed that the change of parameters (e.g., participants) of the first schedule may change the information disclosure scope of matters related to the overlapping schedule, so that a conference link may be reassigned to the multimedia conference associated with the first schedule to protect information security. Specifically, the following is performed.

[0081] If parameters of the first schedule have been changed and parameters of the multimedia conference associated with the first schedule have not been changed, the client may obtain a second conference link for the multimedia conference associated with the first schedule in response to parameters of the first schedule in the recurring schedule being changed and parameters of the multimedia conference associated with the first schedule not being changed, the second conference link referred to herein being different from the first conference link.

[0082] The specific implementation of the client acquiring the second conference link is similar to the specific implementation of the client acquiring the first conference link, but differs in that the trigger condition for acquiring the first conference link is different from the trigger condition for acquiring the second conference link. The trigger condition for acquiring the first conference link is "a multimedia conference setting operation triggered by a user in the first schedule editing interface" mentioned in S101, and the trigger condition for acquiring the second conference link is "the parameters of the first schedule in the periodic schedule are changed, and the multimedia conference parameters associated with the first schedule are not changed." For the specific implementation of acquiring the second conference link, reference can be made to the description related to the acquisition of the first conference link in the previous section, and the description will not be repeated here.

[0083] It is also assumed that in the case of a first schedule among the periodic schedules, the user may want the parameters of the multimedia conference associated with the first schedule to be consistent with the parameters of the multimedia conference associated with the schedule whose parameters are not changed in the periodic schedules. Therefore, the client can obtain the multimedia conference parameters corresponding to a second schedule among the periodic schedules, where the second schedule is any one of the schedules whose schedule parameters are not changed in the periodic schedules, and can further associate and store the second conference link with the multimedia conference parameters corresponding to the second schedule. Here, the multimedia conference parameters corresponding to the second schedule refer to the parameters of the multimedia conference associated with the second schedule. In other words, if the parameters of the multimedia conference associated with the first schedule are not changed by the user, the client can directly use the parameters of the multimedia conference associated with the second schedule as the parameters of the multimedia conference associated with the first schedule, thereby simplifying the user's operation while satisfying the user's needs.

[0084] In one example, the multimedia conference parameters corresponding to the second schedule referred to herein may be the first multimedia conference parameters mentioned above. Of course, if the user changes the multimedia conference parameters corresponding to the periodic schedule before changing the parameters of the first schedule, for example, if the user changes the multimedia conference parameters corresponding to the periodic schedule from the first multimedia conference parameters to the second multimedia conference parameters mentioned above, the multimedia conference parameters corresponding to the second schedule may be the second multimedia conference parameters mentioned above.

[0085] When changing a parameter of the first schedule, a user can determine the scope of application of the change. In one example, the parameter change to the first schedule can be effective for at least one third schedule among the periodic schedules. For example, the parameter change to the first schedule can be effective for all schedules that are not executed among the periodic schedules. Also, for example, the parameter change to the first schedule can be effective for schedules that are executed after the first schedule among the periodic schedules. In another example, the parameter change to the first schedule can be applied only to the first schedule.

[0086] In one example, when at least one third schedule among the periodic schedules is enabled due to a parameter change to the first schedule, it is assumed that an information disclosure scope of the matter related to the first schedule and an information disclosure scope of the matter related to the at least one third schedule are the same. Therefore, in such a case, the multimedia conference parameters corresponding to the at least one third schedule can be matched with the multimedia conference parameters corresponding to the first schedule, and the multimedia conference link corresponding to the at least one third schedule can be matched with the multimedia conference link corresponding to the first schedule. In other words, in response to at least one third schedule among the periodic schedules being enabled due to a parameter change to the first schedule, the client can save the second conference link and the multimedia conference parameters corresponding to the second schedule as the multimedia conference link and the multimedia conference parameters of the at least one third schedule.

[0087] In one example, it is assumed that when the parameter change for the first schedule is applied only to the first schedule, it means that only the information disclosure range of the items related to the first schedule among the periodic schedules is changed, and the information disclosure range of the items associated with the other schedules among the periodic schedules is not changed. Therefore, in such a case, the multimedia conference parameters and the multimedia conference link of the other schedules other than the first schedule among the periodic schedules are maintained as they are. In other words, in response to the parameter change for the first schedule being applied only to the first schedule, the client can maintain the multimedia conference parameters and the multimedia conference link of the other schedules other than the first schedule among the periodic schedules as they are. For example, the multimedia conference parameters of the other schedules can be maintained as the first multimedia conference parameters described above, and the multimedia conference link of the other schedules can be maintained as the first conference link. Also, for example, the multimedia conference parameters of the other schedules can be maintained as the second multimedia conference parameters described above, and the multimedia conference link of the other schedules can be maintained as the first conference link.

[0088] In some embodiments, if the schedule corresponding to the first schedule editing interface is a periodic schedule, the user can change parameters of a fourth schedule in the periodic schedule. The embodiments of the present invention do not specifically limit the parameters of the fourth schedule to be changed, and the parameters of the fourth schedule to be changed may be schedule participants of the fourth schedule, or other parameters of the fourth schedule, such as the name of the fourth schedule. Not listed here. Here, the user can change parameters of the fourth schedule through a second schedule editing interface, and the second schedule editing interface can be understood with reference to FIG. 2, and will not be described here repeatedly.

[0089] In some scenarios, a user may set parameters of a multimedia conference associated with a fourth schedule when changing parameters of the fourth schedule. Specifically, the user may set an operation for the multimedia conference triggered in the second schedule editing interface. In addition, since it is assumed that the information disclosure scope of matters related to the overlapping schedule may be altered due to the change in participants of the fourth schedule, a conference link may be reassigned to the multimedia conference associated with the fourth schedule to protect information security. Specifically, the client may obtain a third conference link in response to a multimedia conference setting operation triggered by a user in the second schedule editing interface. Then, the client may display a third setting page in the second schedule editing interface. The third setting page may be enumerated with reference to the first setting page shown in FIG. 3, and will not be described again here.

[0090] A user may set parameters of a multimedia conference associated with the fourth schedule on the third setting page. In response, the client may obtain the third multimedia conference parameters input by the user on the third setting page. After the user completes inputting the third multimedia conference parameters on the third setting page, the user may trigger a save operation on the third setting page, for example, the user may click a fourth control for triggering a save operation on the third setting page. After the save operation triggered by the first user on the third setting page, the client may associate and save the third multimedia conference parameters with the third conference link in response to the save operation triggered by the user on the third setting page. Here, associating and saving the third multimedia conference parameters with the third conference link means saving a correspondence between the third multimedia conference parameters and the third conference link.

[0091] The third conference link mentioned here is different from the first conference link. The specific implementation of the client acquiring the third conference link is similar to the specific implementation of the client acquiring the first conference link, but differs in that the trigger condition of acquiring the first conference link is different from the trigger condition of acquiring the third conference link. The trigger condition of acquiring the first conference link is the "multimedia conference setting operation triggered by the user in the first schedule editing interface" mentioned in S101, and the trigger condition of acquiring the third conference link is the "multimedia conference setting operation triggered by the user in the second schedule editing interface". The specific implementation of acquiring the third conference link may refer to the description related to the acquisition of the first conference link in the previous section, and will not be repeated here.

[0092] When changing a parameter of the fourth schedule, a user can determine the scope of the change. In one example, the change to the parameter of the fourth schedule can be effective for at least one fifth schedule among the periodic schedules. For example, the change to the parameter of the fourth schedule can be effective for all schedules among the periodic schedules that are not executed. Also, for example, the change to the parameter of the fourth schedule can be effective for schedules among the periodic schedules that are executed after the fourth schedule. In another example, the change to the parameter of the fourth schedule can be applied only to the fourth schedule.

[0093] In one example, when at least one fifth schedule among the periodic schedules is enabled due to the change to the parameters of the fourth schedule, it is assumed that the information disclosure scope of the items related to the fourth schedule and the information disclosure scope of the items related to the at least one fifth schedule are the same. Therefore, in such a case, the multimedia conference parameters corresponding to the at least one fifth schedule can be matched with the multimedia conference parameters corresponding to the fourth schedule, and the multimedia conference link corresponding to the at least one fifth schedule can be matched with the multimedia conference link corresponding to the fourth schedule. In other words, in response to at least one fifth schedule among the periodic schedules being enabled due to the change to the parameters of the fourth schedule, the client can associate and store the third conference link and the third multimedia conference parameters as the multimedia conference link and the multimedia conference parameters of the at least one fifth schedule.

[0094] In one example, it is assumed that if the change to the parameters of the fourth schedule is applied only to the fourth schedule, it means that only the information disclosure scope of the matters related to the fourth schedule among the periodic schedules is changed, and the information disclosure scope of the matters related to the other schedules among the periodic schedules is not changed. Therefore, in such a case, the multimedia conference parameters and the multimedia conference link of the other schedules other than the fourth schedule among the periodic schedules are maintained as they are. In other words, in response to the change to the parameters of the fourth schedule being applied only to the fourth schedule, the client can maintain the multimedia conference parameters and the multimedia conference link of the other schedules other than the fourth schedule among the periodic schedules as they are. For example, the multimedia conference parameters of the other schedules can be maintained as the first multimedia conference parameters described above, and the multimedia conference link of the other schedules can be maintained as the first conference link. Also, for example, the multimedia conference parameters of the other schedules can be maintained as the second multimedia conference parameters described above, and the multimedia conference link of the other schedules can be maintained as the first conference link.

[0095] In one example, for a particular schedule, such as a first schedule, after the creation of the first schedule is completed and the parameter configuration of the multimedia conference associated with the first schedule is completed, the participants of the first schedule can initiate or participate in the multimedia conference associated with the first schedule on the schedule page of the first schedule, where the participants of the first schedule include the creator of the first schedule and other participants of the first schedule. The participants of the first schedule can trigger an operation of entering a schedule interface of the first schedule through a schedule interface.

[0096] As can be seen with reference to Figures 4a and 4b, Figures 4a and 4b are schematic diagrams of schedule pages provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0097] If a multimedia conference associated with the first schedule has not been created, the schedule interface of the first schedule is shown in FIG. 4a, and the user can click “Initiate Conference” shown in FIG. 4a to initiate a multimedia conference associated with the first schedule.

[0098] If the multimedia conference associated with the first schedule has already started, the schedule interface of the first schedule is shown in FIG. 4b, and the user can click “Enter Conference” shown in FIG. 4b to enter the multimedia conference associated with the first schedule.

[0099] "**.**.**" shown in Figures 4a and 4b is the multimedia conference link of the multimedia conference associated with the first schedule.

[0100] The schedule interface of the first schedule may further include other contents, which are indicated by "****" in Figures 4a and 4b. Also, Figures 4a and 4b are merely shown for ease of understanding, and are not intended to limit the schedule interface.
