Video Conference Speaking Ban Control With Participant Self-Unmute
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In multi-point video conferences, imposing a speaking ban on participants by the chairman end requires manual operation to lift, which is inefficient and inconvenient, especially when multiple participants need to speak, affecting conference efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that utilize a multi-point control end to manage speaking bans, allowing participants to automatically lift bans through permission-based requests and notifications, reducing the need for manual intervention by the chairman.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual operation is used to lift speaking bans, then the chairman end can control speaking permissions, but the operation becomes inefficient and time-consuming when multiple participants need to speak
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables participants to lift speaking bans autonomously without requiring manual intervention from the chairman end. When a participant needs to speak, they can send a speaking request to the multi-point control end, and the system automatically processes the request and notifies the participant when the speaking ban is lifted, making the system self-serving and eliminating the need for continuous manual operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the multi-point control end receives speaking requests from participants, processes them according to permission information, and sends notifications back to participants when speaking bans are lifted. This automated feedback loop eliminates the need for manual checking and operation by the chairman end, significantly reducing time loss.
2Productivity
If the chairman end manually manages speaking bans, then speaking control is maintained, but conference efficiency is reduced when multiple persons apply to lift the ban
Solution Approach 1:
The system transfers the speaking ban management task from the chairman end to the multi-point control end. The multi-point control end automatically processes speaking requests from multiple participants, manages permission information, and notifies participants when bans are lifted, making the system self-managing and eliminating the operational burden on the chairman end.
Solution Approach 2:
The multi-point control end acts as an intermediary between the chairman end and participants. It receives speaking requests from participants, checks permission information, and manages the speaking ban status automatically. This intermediary role eliminates the need for the chairman end to directly manage speaking bans, simplifying operations and improving conference efficiency.
3Ease of operation
If participants must privately message the chairman end to request speaking ban lifting, then the chairman end maintains control, but the operation becomes inconvenient for participants
Solution Approach 1:
The multi-point control end serves as an intermediary that handles speaking ban lifting requests automatically. Instead of participants needing to privately message the chairman end, they simply send speaking requests to the multi-point control end, which processes them and notifies participants when bans are lifted. This intermediary mechanism simplifies the communication protocol and improves participant convenience.

AI summary
Provided in the present application are a method for lifting a speaking ban at a video conference, and a device and a computer-readable storage medium. The method comprises: receiving a speaking ban request from a chairman end, wherein the speaking ban request carries permission information, which allows clients to lift a speaking ban (S100); according to the speaking ban request, sending a speaking ban notification to the clients, so as to impose the speaking ban on the clients (S200); and when a speaking ban lifting request is received from a target client, sending a speaking notification to the target client according to the lifting request and the permission information, wherein the target client is one or more of the clients (S300).
