DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0023] The present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. The specific examples are merely for the purpose of illustrating the relevant inventions, and are not intended to limit the inventions. For the sake of convenience, only the parts relevant to the relevant inventions are shown in the drawings.

[0024] It should be noted that, unless inconsistent, the embodiments and configurations of the embodiments according to the present disclosure may be combined with each other. Hereinafter, the present disclosure will be described in detail by way of examples with reference to the drawings.

[0025] During a video conference, when users share content, the screen is typically divided into a larger shared content display area and a smaller conference participant display area. The shared content video stream is displayed in the shared content display area, while each conference participant's multimedia data (e.g., the conference participant's video stream or conference participant avatar) is displayed in the conference participant display area. Currently, video conferences also allow users to individually select a conference participant and provide their multimedia data. The selected conference participant's multimedia data is then displayed in the shared content display area where the original shared content was displayed. By individually specifying an independent area within the conference participant display area to display the shared content, and sequentially narrowing down the multimedia data of each conference participant originally displayed, the area displaying the selected conference participant's multimedia data is different before and after the selection. As shown in FIG. 1A , the shared content is displayed in area 101, and the conference participant multimedia data of four conference participants A, B, C, and D are displayed in conference participant display areas 1021, 1022, 1023, and 1024 in area 102, respectively. 1B , when a user selects area 1022 for displaying conference participant B's multimedia data, the multimedia data of conference participant B is displayed in area 101, while the shared content is displayed in a predetermined area 1011 in conference participant display area 102, and the conference participant multimedia data of each of the original conference participants A, B, C, and D is narrowed down in order, that is, the conference participant multimedia data of conference participants A, B, and C is displayed in conference participant display areas 1022, 1023, and 1024, respectively, while the conference participant multimedia data of conference participant D is narrowed down until it cannot be currently displayed in the interface. In many cases, for example, when a user selects area 1022 using a mouse, the position of the mouse is continuously maintained within area 1022.If the user wishes to cancel the enlarged viewing of the multimedia data of the selected conference participant B alone, that is, if the user no longer wishes to view the multimedia data of the selected conference participant B alone and wishes to display the shared content in the shared content display area 101, the user must move the mouse to a predetermined independent area 1011 in the conference participant display area 102 that is currently displaying the shared content and perform a selection operation (e.g., double-click). If the user does not move the mouse, the mouse position will still be in area 1022, and what is currently displayed in area 1022 is the multimedia data of conference participant A. Therefore, when the user performs a selection operation, the multimedia data of conference participant A will be displayed in the shared content display area 1011. This is clearly not desirable for the user.

[0026] For these reasons, the current video conference interface interaction method has problems such as inconvenient operation, inconsistent interaction, limited multimedia data of conference participants, cluttered modules, and poor appearance.

[0027] In order to solve the above problems that exist in the video conference interface interaction methods of the prior art, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a video conference display method, apparatus, terminal device, and storage medium. When content is shared during a video conference, the content displayed in the selected conference participant display area and the content displayed in the shared content display area are exchanged, thereby enriching the interaction method between the user and the terminal device during the video conference.

[0028] FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary system architecture 200 of an embodiment to which the videoconference display method, apparatus, terminal device, and storage medium according to the present disclosure may be applied.

[0029] 2, system architecture 200 includes terminal devices 201, 202, and 203, a network 204, and a server 205. Network 204 is a medium used to provide a communication link between terminal devices 201, 202, and 203 and server 205. Network 204 may include various connection types, such as wired, wireless communication links, or fiber optic cables.

[0030] Users can use terminal devices 201, 202, and 203 to interact with a server 205 via a network 204 to receive and send information, etc. The terminal devices 201, 202, and 203 can be equipped with various communication client terminal applications, such as video conferencing applications, short video social applications, web page browser applications, shopping applications, search applications, instant messaging tools, mailbox client terminals, and social platform software.

[0031] The terminal devices 201, 202, and 203 may be hardware or software. When the terminal devices 201, 202, and 203 are hardware, they may be various terminal devices having an audio collection device (e.g., a microphone), a video collection device (e.g., a camera), and a display, including, but not limited to, smartphones, tablets, e-book readers, MP3 players (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer III, a moving picture experts compressed standard audio layer 3), MP4 (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer IV, a moving picture experts compressed standard audio layer 4) players, laptop portable computers, and desktop computers. When the terminal devices 201, 202, and 203 are software, they may be implemented in the above-listed terminal devices. They may be realized as multiple software programs or software modules (e.g., for providing a video conferencing display service) or as a single software program or software module. This is not specifically limited.

[0032] It should also be understood that the video conference display method provided by the present disclosure is generally performed by the terminal devices 201, 202, 203, whereas the video conference display device may be provided in the terminal devices 201, 202, 203.

[0033] It should be noted that server 205 may be hardware or software. If server 205 is hardware, it may be realized as a distributed server cluster consisting of multiple servers, or as a single server. If server 205 is software, it may be realized as multiple software programs or software modules (e.g., for providing distributed services), or as a single software program or software module. There are no specific limitations here.

[0034] It should be understood that the number of terminal devices, networks, and servers in Figure 2 is merely exemplary, and any number of terminal devices, networks, and servers may be included depending on the requirements of the implementation.

[0035] 3, a flow chart 300 of an embodiment of a video conference display method according to the present disclosure is shown, which includes step 301 of performing a display area swapping operation in response to detecting a predetermined selection operation for a target conference participant display area among a predetermined number of conference participant display areas in a video conference interface.

[0036] In this embodiment, after the start of a video conference, if there is a conference participant who wants to share content, an executing entity of the video conference display method (e.g., terminal devices 201, 202, and 203 shown in FIG. 2) executes a display area swapping operation in response to detecting a predetermined selection operation for a target conference participant display area among a predetermined number of conference participant display areas in the video conference interface. Here, the display area swapping operation includes displaying the content currently displayed in a predetermined shared content display area in the video conference interface in the target conference participant display area, and displaying the content currently displayed in the target conference participant display area in the predetermined shared content display area. In other words, the display content of the predetermined shared content display area and the target conference participant display area are swapped.

[0037] In practice, when a conference participant wants to share content, the shared content is displayed in a predetermined shared content display area in the video conference interface, and conference participant multimedia data is displayed in a predetermined number of conference participant display areas, where if a conference participant activates a camera, the conference participant multimedia data may be the conference participant video stream collected by the camera, and if a conference participant does not activate a camera, the conference participant multimedia data may be the conference participant avatar.

[0038] The video conference interface may include a predetermined shared content display area and a predetermined number of conference participant display areas, and the area of ​​the predetermined shared content display area may be larger than the area of ​​each of the conference participant display areas for the convenience of enlarged viewing in the shared content display area.

[0039] In some optional embodiments, the predetermined number of conference participant display regions may be formed into a contiguous region array. For example, the predetermined number of conference participant display regions may be formed into a region array of I rows and J columns, where the vertical ends of the regions in each row are aligned and the horizontal left ends of the regions in each column are aligned, where I and J are positive integers.

[0040] The shape of the predetermined shared content display area and each conference participant display area may be various shapes, and the present disclosure does not specifically limit this, and may be, for example, a rectangle or a rectangle with rounded corners.

[0041] In some optional embodiments, the area of ​​a given shared content display area may be greater than the sum of the areas of a given number of conference participant display areas.

[0042] In some optional embodiments, each conference participant display area may be the same shape and size.

[0043] Here, the shared content refers to a video stream corresponding to the content currently being shared in the video conference. It should be understood that the content currently being shared in the video conference may be the content shared by the conference participant corresponding to the above-mentioned executing entity using the terminal device, or may be the content shared by another conference participant using another terminal device.

[0044] Here, the predetermined number may be a predetermined number that is set in advance, or an interface for setting the predetermined number may be provided and the number may be custom-input by the user as needed through the provided setting interface.

[0045] There may be N conference participants currently in a video conference, and the video conference interface may have a predetermined number, M, of conference participant display areas for displaying the conference participant multimedia data, where N and M are positive integers. If N>M, the video conference interface displays the multimedia data of M conference participants, while the multimedia data of the other (NM) conference participants cannot be displayed on the video conference interface. Of course, the video conference interface may provide an operation object, such as a down or up arrow icon, for changing or selecting the conference participant displayed on the video conference interface. If N≦M, the video conference interface currently displays the multimedia data of N conference participants. That is, all of the conference participant multimedia data can be displayed on the video conference interface.

[0046] Here, the target conference participant display area may be any one of a predetermined number of conference participant display areas.

[0047] Furthermore, a predetermined pin selection operation (also referred to as a pin operation) for the target conference participant display area may be an operation for triggering various predetermined display area replacement operations. For example, the predetermined pin selection operation may be sliding or moving the mouse within the target conference participant display area to a predetermined trajectory (for example, a circle).

[0048] In some optional embodiments, the predetermined selection operation on the target conference participant display area includes at least one of the following operations: a click (e.g., single click or double click) operation on the target conference participant display area, such as a single click with the left mouse button within the target conference participant display area, a single click with the right mouse button or a single click on a touch panel, a double click with the left mouse button within the target conference participant display area, a double click with the right mouse button or a double click on a touch panel, etc.; a slide operation from the target conference participant display area to a predetermined shared content display area; and a slide operation from the predetermined shared content display area to the target conference participant display area.

[0049] In some optional embodiments, specifically, the above display area swapping operation may be any one of the following three swapping operations.

[0050] The first swapping operation displays the shared content currently displayed in the specified shared content display area in the target conference participant display area, and displays the conference participant multimedia data currently displayed in the target conference participant display area in the specified shared content display area.

[0051] That is, before the predetermined nail selection operation is detected, what is displayed in the predetermined shared content display area is the shared content. In other words, the shared content is enlarged and displayed. In contrast, what is displayed in the target conference participant display area is the conference participant multimedia data. After the predetermined nail selection operation for the target conference participant display area is detected, the conference participant multimedia data originally displayed in the target conference participant display area is enlarged, but the currently shared content is displayed in the target conference participant display area.

[0052] The second swapping operation displays the conference participant multimedia data currently displayed in the specified shared content display area in the target conference participant display area, and displays the shared content currently displayed in the target conference participant display area in the specified shared content display area.

[0053] That is, before a predetermined nail selection operation is detected, certain conference participant multimedia data is enlarged and displayed in the predetermined shared content display area, and the shared content is displayed in the target conference participant display area. After a predetermined nail selection operation for the target conference participant display area is detected, the shared content is enlarged and displayed in the predetermined shared content display area, but the conference participant multimedia data originally displayed in the predetermined shared content display area is no longer enlarged and is instead displayed in the target conference participant display area.

[0054] The second swapping operation displays the first conference participant multimedia data currently displayed in the specified shared content display area in the target conference participant display area, and displays the second conference participant multimedia data currently displayed in the target conference participant display area in the specified shared content display area.

[0055] That is, before the predetermined pin selection operation is detected, the first conference participant multimedia data is enlarged and displayed in the predetermined shared content display area, and the second conference participant multimedia data is displayed in the target conference participant display area. After the predetermined pin selection operation for the target conference participant display area is detected, the second conference participant multimedia data is enlarged and displayed in the predetermined shared content display area, but the first conference participant multimedia data that was originally displayed in the predetermined shared content display area is no longer enlarged and is displayed in the target conference participant display area.

[0056] 4, Figures 4A to 4C are schematic diagrams illustrating application scenarios of the video conference display method according to this embodiment. In the application scenario of Figure 4A, shared content is displayed in shared content display area 401, and conference participant multimedia data of four conference participants A, B, C, and D are displayed in conference participant display areas 4021, 4022, 4023, and 4024 in area 402, respectively.

[0057] When a user wishes to enlarge and display only the multimedia data of conference participant B, the user may perform a predetermined selection operation (e.g., double-click) on area 4022 in which conference participant B's multimedia data is displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. 4B , conference participant B's multimedia data and the shared content are displayed with their positions swapped. That is, conference participant B's multimedia data is displayed in shared content display area 401 where the shared content was previously displayed, while the shared content is displayed in conference participant display area 4022 where the original conference participant B's multimedia data was previously displayed. In other words, the first swap operation described above is realized.

[0058] In the scene shown in FIG. 4B, when the user wishes to cancel the enlarged display of conference participant B's multimedia data alone, i.e., when the user wishes to return to the enlarged display of the shared content, there is no need for the user to move position; the user simply performs a predetermined selection operation (e.g., double-click) in the conference participant display area 4022 where the conference participant B was originally located. Then, as shown in FIG. 4C, the multimedia data of conference participant B and the shared content are displayed with their positions swapped. That is, conference participant B's multimedia data is displayed in the conference participant display area 4022 where it was originally displayed, while the shared content continues to be displayed in the shared content display area 401 where it was originally displayed. In other words, a second swap operation is realized.

[0059] In the scene shown in FIG. 4B, if the user no longer wants to enlarge and display the multimedia data of conference participant B alone and instead wants to display the multimedia data of conference participant C alone, the user may move their position to conference participant display area 4023 where conference participant C's multimedia data is located and perform a predetermined selection operation (e.g., double-click). Then, as shown in FIG. 4D, the multimedia data of conference participant B and the multimedia data of conference participant C are displayed with their positions swapped. That is, the multimedia data of conference participant B is displayed in conference participant display area 4023 where conference participant C's multimedia data is displayed, while the multimedia data of conference participant C is displayed in shared content display area 401. That is, a third swap operation is realized.

[0060] The video conference display method provided in the above embodiments of the present disclosure achieves the following technical effects (including but not limited to) by exchanging the display areas of the selected and individually enlarged video stream of the conference participant and the shared content video stream when sharing content during a video conference.

[0061] First, the video conference has a rich interaction method between users and terminal devices.

[0062] Second, after selecting the individually enlarged conference participant display area, the user can cancel the individually enlarged conference participant display by simply selecting the original area without moving the mouse, and switch back to the scene displaying the shared content in the shared content display area, thereby shortening the interaction path and more in line with the user's intuition.

[0063] Furthermore, the display areas of the selected and individually enlarged conference participant multimedia data and the shared content are swapped. The shared content is not displayed in a single conference participant display area, and the currently displayed, individually enlarged conference participant multimedia data display areas that are not selected are not changed. This reduces the impact on the conference participant multimedia data, reduces user distraction, and enhances the user's visual experience of the overall interface.

[0064] Furthermore, referring to Fig. 5, the present disclosure provides an embodiment of a video conferencing display device for implementing the methods shown in the above figures. The embodiment of the device corresponds to the embodiment of the method shown in Fig. 3. The device can be specifically applied to various terminal devices.

[0065] 5, the video conference display device 500 according to the present embodiment includes a selection unit 501. In addition, the selection unit 501 is configured to perform the following display area swapping operations in response to detecting a predetermined selection operation for a target conference participant display area among a predetermined number of conference participant display areas in the video conference interface: displaying content currently displayed in a predetermined shared content display area in the video conference interface in the target conference participant display area, and displaying content currently displayed in the target conference participant display area in the predetermined shared content display area.

[0066] In this embodiment, the specific processing performed by the nail selection unit 501 of the video conference display device 500 and the technical effects achieved thereby can be referred to the description of step 301 in the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 3, which will be omitted here.

[0067] In some optional embodiments, the display area swapping operation includes: displaying the shared content currently displayed in the specified shared content display area in the target conference participant display area, and displaying the conference participant multimedia data currently displayed in the target conference participant display area in the specified shared content display area; or displaying the conference participant multimedia data currently displayed in the specified shared content display area in the target conference participant display area, and displaying the shared content currently displayed in the target conference participant display area in the specified shared content display area; or displaying the first conference participant multimedia data currently displayed in the specified shared content display area in the target conference participant display area, and displaying the second conference participant multimedia data currently displayed in the target conference participant display area in the specified shared content display area.

[0068] In some optional embodiments, the predetermined nail selection operation and the predetermined nail cancellation operation may be any one of a double click, a single click, a slide, or setting a movement path to a predetermined path.

[0069] In some optional embodiments, the predetermined number of conference participant display regions may be arranged in an adjacent region array.

[0070] In some optional embodiments, the area of ​​the predetermined shared content display area may be greater than the sum of the areas of the predetermined number of conference participant display areas.

[0071] In some optional embodiments, the area of ​​the predetermined shared content display area may be larger than the area of ​​each of the conference participant display areas.

[0072] In some optional embodiments, each of the conference participant display areas may be the same in both shape and size.

[0073] For details of the implementation and technical effects of each unit in the video conferencing display device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, please refer to the descriptions of other embodiments of the present disclosure, and further description will be omitted here.
