Audio Video Conference Role Configuration via Third-Party Server
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing audio-video conference services provide limited customizable roles and lack extendibility, failing to meet the requirements of diverse third-party applications.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that allow a third-party application server to convert role requirements into conference configurations, enabling the audio-video conference server to control behaviors based on user identifications, thereby allowing for free customization of conference behaviors and improving extendibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the audio-video conference service presets behaviors for specific roles, then the service can provide customized roles, but the service can only provide limited customized roles and has no extendibility
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses configuration files to copy and store role-behavior mappings externally. Instead of hardcoding roles in the system, the conference server reads role configurations from external files, allowing third-party applications to define custom roles by copying the configuration format without modifying the core system code.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces configuration files as an intermediary between the third-party application and the conference server. The configuration files serve as a mediator that translates role requirements into executable conference behaviors, enabling flexible customization without direct system modification.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the audio-video conference service provides preset roles with customization capability, then some roles can be customized, but the service cannot meet the requirements of extensive third-party applications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal configuration format that can accommodate any role type across different third-party applications. The conference server uses a single configuration parsing mechanism that works for all role types, making the system universally applicable to interview systems, online education, corporate meetings, and other scenarios without requiring separate implementation for each application type.
3Productivity
If the system uses preset roles with limited customization, then the implementation is straightforward, but the system cannot support diverse business scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary configuration setup by pre-defining the configuration file format and role-behavior mapping structure. Third-party applications can prepare their role configurations in advance using the standardized format, and the conference server automatically parses and applies these configurations when conferences are initiated, eliminating the need for complex runtime customization.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for configuring an audio and video conference, and a server and a storage medium. In the present disclosure, a conference configuration request is initiated by a third-party application server side, and a conference configuration is submitted to an audio and video conference server side, such that the audio and video conference server side can search the conference configuration for a behavior configuration corresponding to a user identifier of a conference participating user, so as to control a conference behavior of the corresponding user. Therefore, a third party can freely customize a conference behavior according to requirements of a role thereof, thereby efficiently meeting various role-based conference behavior customization requirements.
