2. Video networking packet definition

2.1 Access network packet definition

The data packet of the access network mainly comprises the following parts: destination Address (DA), Source Address (SA), reserved bytes, payload (pdu), CRC.

As shown in the following table, the data packet of the access network mainly includes the following parts:

DA

SA

Reserved

Payload

CRC

wherein:

the Destination Address (DA) is composed of 8 bytes (byte), the first byte represents the type of the data packet (such as various protocol packets, multicast data packets, unicast data packets, etc.), there are 256 possibilities at most, the second byte to the sixth byte are metropolitan area network addresses, and the seventh byte and the eighth byte are access network addresses;

the Source Address (SA) is also composed of 8 bytes (byte), defined as the same as the Destination Address (DA);

the reserved byte consists of 2 bytes;

the payload part has different lengths according to different types of datagrams, and is 64 bytes if the datagram is various types of protocol packets, and is 32+1024 or 1056 bytes if the datagram is a unicast packet, of course, the length is not limited to the above 2 types;

the CRC consists of 4 bytes and is calculated in accordance with the standard ethernet CRC algorithm.

2.2 metropolitan area network packet definition

The topology of a metropolitan area network is a graph and there may be 2, or even more than 2, connections between two devices, i.e., there may be more than 2 connections between a node switch and a node server, a node switch and a node switch, and a node switch and a node server. However, the metro network address of the metro network device is unique, and in order to accurately describe the connection relationship between the metro network devices, parameters are introduced in the embodiment of the present invention: a label to uniquely describe a metropolitan area network device.

In this specification, the definition of the Label is similar to that of the Label of MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switch), and assuming that there are two connections between the device a and the device B, there are 2 labels for the packet from the device a to the device B, and 2 labels for the packet from the device B to the device a. The label is classified into an incoming label and an outgoing label, and assuming that the label (incoming label) of the packet entering the device a is 0x0000, the label (outgoing label) of the packet leaving the device a may become 0x 0001. The network access process of the metro network is a network access process under centralized control, that is, address allocation and label allocation of the metro network are both dominated by the metro server, and the node switch and the node server are both passively executed, which is different from label allocation of MPLS, and label allocation of MPLS is a result of mutual negotiation between the switch and the server.

As shown in the following table, the data packet of the metro network mainly includes the following parts:

DA

SA

Reserved

label (R)

Payload

CRC

Namely Destination Address (DA), Source Address (SA), Reserved byte (Reserved), tag, payload (pdu), CRC. The format of the tag may be defined by reference to the following: the tag is 32 bits with the upper 16 bits reserved and only the lower 16 bits used, and its position is between the reserved bytes and payload of the packet.

In the related art, in the process of proceeding the convergence video conference, when a monitoring terminal needs to replace a video stream of a participant terminal, a bridge server needs to allocate a pair of new bridge numbers to the monitoring terminal, all bridge numbers configured by the bridge server cannot be cancelled in the whole process of proceeding the convergence video conference, if the monitoring terminal needs to exchange multiple groups of terminal streams, multiple groups of bridge number pairs are occupied all the time, and the bridge server can release the bridge number pairs until the convergence video conference is finished. Thus, the resource of the bridge number is wasted.

In view of the above, based on the characteristics of the above-mentioned video network, one of the core concepts of the present invention is proposed: when the converged video conference is carried out, an information storage object is created for the converged video conference and used for storing bridge number pair information, wherein the bridge number pair information can comprise a pair of bridge numbers for audio and video transmission between a monitoring terminal and a terminal in a second video network, when the monitoring information sent by a second conference management platform is received, the bridge number pair information is updated, so that a bridge number pair to be released is determined according to the updated bridge number pair information, and finally, a number release signaling is sent to a bridge server, so that the bridge server releases the bridge number pair to be released.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, fig. 5 is a communication environment diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 6 is a flow chart illustrating steps of a number management method based on a video network according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, the video networks include a first video network and a second video network, wherein the first video network and the second video network are two different video networks, a first conference management platform is provided in the first video network and a second conference management platform is provided in the second video network, and the first conference management platform and the second conference management platform are both in communication connection with a bridge server.

The first conference management platform and the second conference management platform may be responsible for internal logic processing of the video networking convergence video conference operation, such as: speaker switching, conference opening/conference stopping, dynamic addition/deletion of participants, and the like. The first video network is processed by the internal logic of the video network integrated video conference operation of the first conference management platform, and the second video network is processed by the internal logic of the video network integrated video conference operation of the second conference management platform.

The bridging server forwards audio and video data between the first video network and the second video network in the video network integrated video conference, and can adopt a video network dual-network architecture to realize communication docking of one video network and the other video network. The first conference management platform is connected with n terminals located in the first video network, and the second conference management platform is also connected with m terminals located in the second video network.

In this embodiment, the first video network is a 64-bit video network, and the second video network is a 16-bit video network; or, the first video network is a 16-bit video network, and the second video network is a 64-bit video network. The 64-bit video network and the 16-bit video network are incompatible, and in the converged video conference, the two are communicated and docked through a bridging server generally.

As shown in fig. 6, the first conference management platform may be configured to execute a number management method based on a video network, and specifically may include the following steps:

step S601: and creating an information storage object for the preset fusion conference object, wherein the information storage object is used for storing a plurality of pieces of bridge number pair information.

Each bridge number pair information comprises a bridge number pair, and the bridge number pairs are used for audio and video data transmission between a monitoring terminal in the first video network and a terminal in the second video network.

In this embodiment, the monitoring terminal is a video conference role in the video conference, and when a certain terminal is set as the monitoring terminal, the terminal can monitor video streams of a plurality of terminals participating in the video conference. The monitored terminals can comprise terminals in a first video network and terminals in a second video network. When the monitored terminal is a terminal located in the second video network, the monitoring terminal successfully calls the video stream of the terminal and needs the bridge server to perform communication docking, and under the condition, the bridge server allocates a pair of bridge numbers for the monitoring terminal and the terminal located in the second video network to perform transmission of audio and video data.

The bridge number refers to the number of the virtual terminal configured on the bridge server. In one embodiment, the pair of bridge numbers includes two bridge numbers, one of which corresponds to the monitoring terminal in the first video network and the other of which corresponds to the terminal participating in the video conference in the second video network.

To facilitate understanding of the present application, reference is made to fig. 7, which shows a schematic diagram when a supervising terminal needs to supervise a video stream of a terminal located in a second video network. As shown in fig. 7, the bridge server allocates a set of bridge numbers 001 and 0023, where the bridge number of 001 is used for communicating with the monitoring terminal a located in the first video network, and 0023 is used for communicating with the terminal a located in the second video network, in this case, the bridge server receives the video of the terminal a through the virtual terminal corresponding to the 0023 number, and sends the video of the terminal a to the monitoring terminal a through the virtual terminal corresponding to the 001 number.

In this embodiment, the preset convergence conference object may be understood as a convergence video conference currently managed by the first conference management platform, and when the convergence video conference starts, the first conference management platform may create an information storage object for the convergence video conference, and the first conference management platform may store a bridge number pair configured for the monitoring terminal by the bridge server to the information storage object, so as to obtain bridge number pair information.

Wherein, one bridge number pair corresponds to one bridge number pair information. In this way, the monitoring terminal has multiple bridge number pairs and thus multiple bridge number pair information when viewing multiple video streams from terminals located in the second video network. In a specific implementation, the bridge number pair information may reflect a usage of the bridge number pair, where the usage includes, but is not limited to, the following cases: the terminal corresponding to the bridging number pair and located in the second video network, the service time of the bridging number pair and the like.

In this embodiment, when the video conference starts, the bridge number pair information that is initially stored in the information storage object may be generated by the first conference management platform according to the monitoring information sent by the second conference management platform. That is, in the converged video conference, the second conference management platform may send the monitoring information to the first conference management platform, and the first conference management platform may execute the logic processing in the monitoring information to control the corresponding monitoring terminal to monitor the video streams of the terminals participating in the video conference and generate the corresponding bridge number pair information.

For example, for the converged video conference H, a new container v _ bridged dev may be added, and the new container v _ bridged dev is an information storage object corresponding to the converged video conference H. The v _ bridge dev may store bridge number pair information. The information structure of the bridge number pair information may be as follows:

dev (the supervising terminal bound this time); bridge _16 (16-bit bridge number); bridge _64 (64-bit bridge number).

Step S602: and in the process of running the preset fusion conference object, receiving the monitoring information sent by the second conference management platform, and updating the information of the currently stored bridge number in the information storage object according to the monitoring information.

In this embodiment, after the bridge number pair information is generated for the first time, the first conference management platform may receive the monitoring information sent by the second conference management platform in real time in the whole process of the video conference. In practice, the second conference management platform may send the monitoring information to the first conference management platform at any time according to the video conference requirement, so that the monitoring terminal switches the video stream of the monitored terminal, or a new monitoring terminal is added, and the video stream of the terminal is monitored by the new monitoring terminal.

In this case, the first conference management platform may update the information of the bridge number currently stored in the information storage object according to the monitoring information each time the monitoring information sent by the second conference management platform is received. The monitoring information at least includes a monitoring terminal identifier currently needing video monitoring, and respective identifiers of a plurality of terminals needing monitoring by the monitoring terminal. The first conference management platform can determine the change conditions of the plurality of terminals monitored by the monitoring terminal and the change conditions of the monitoring terminal in the first video network according to the monitoring information, and update the information of the bridge number pair according to the change conditions of the plurality of terminals monitored by each monitoring terminal and the change conditions of the monitoring terminal.

In some specific embodiments, the updating the information about the bridge number pair may be updating the usage of the bridge number pair. For example, according to the monitoring information, it is determined that the monitoring terminal a does not watch the video of the terminal a, then the first conference management platform updates the usage of the bridge number pair (001-.

Step S603: and determining the bridge number pair to be released according to the updated information of the plurality of bridge number pairs.

In this embodiment, the current usage of each bridge number pair may be determined according to the updated bridge number pair information, and when the current usage of one or more bridge number pairs is not used, it may be determined that one or more bridge number pairs are bridge number pairs to be released, where the bridge number pairs to be released may be understood as bridge number pairs that can be released by the bridge server.

For example, if the usage status of the bridge number pair (001-.

In some embodiments, the first conference management platform may poll the information of the plurality of bridge number pairs in the information storage object through a special thread to determine the bridge number pair to be released.

Step S604: and sending a number release signaling to a bridge server according to the bridge number pair to be released so that the bridge server releases two bridge numbers in the bridge number pair to be released.

In this embodiment, when determining the bridge number pair to be released, a number release signaling may be sent to the bridge server, where the number release signaling may carry the bridge number pair to be released, and thus, the bridge server may release two bridge numbers in the bridge number pair to be released in response to the number release signaling.

In some embodiments, the bridge server may identify whether the bridge number is used by setting a status of the bridge number. Specifically, after the monitoring terminal and the terminal in the second video network are allocated with the bridge number pair, the states of two bridge numbers in the bridge number pair may be set to a busy state to identify that the bridge number is used. Releasing both bridge numbers in the pair of bridge numbers may accordingly refer to setting the status of both bridge numbers to be released to an idle state to identify that the bridge number is unused.

For example, if the bridge number pair to be released is (001-.

In this embodiment, in the whole process of the converged video conference, the first conference management platform may update the bridge number pair information in time according to the monitoring information sent by the second conference management platform, and may release the bridge number pair to be released according to the updated bridge number pair information. Furthermore, the used bridging number can be released after the fused video conference is finished, so that the unused bridging number can be released in time to be used in audio and video data transmission of other terminals, the waste of the bridging number is avoided, and the resource utilization rate of the bridging number is improved.

In some embodiments, after sending a number release signaling to the bridge server according to the bridge number pair to be cancelled, the first conference management platform may further delete bridge number pair information corresponding to the bridge number pair to be cancelled from the information storage object. Therefore, useless bridging numbers in the information storage object can be cleared timely to reduce the occupancy rate of the information storage object, and the condition that the useless bridging number pair information is repeatedly determined as a bridging number pair to be released is avoided, so that the normal management of the bridging numbers is ensured.

In some application scenarios, a terminal located in the second video network and participating in the converged video conference may be monitored by multiple monitoring terminals, for example, a terminal a located in the second video network may be monitored by both a monitoring terminal a and a monitoring terminal B in the first video network, in this case, in order to save bridge number resources, the same bridge number may be used for both the video stream supporting the monitoring terminal a to watch the terminal a and the video stream supporting the monitoring terminal B to watch the terminal a.

For example, if the bridge number pair is (001-.

For the application scenario, in order to facilitate accurate statistics on the use condition of the bridge number pair and to facilitate management of each bridge number pair, each bridge number pair information includes a reference count, and the reference count is used to record the number of the broadcast monitoring terminals associated with the bridge number pair, specifically, a broadcast monitoring terminal associated with one bridge number pair is a broadcast monitoring terminal using the bridge number pair. The greater the number of the supervising terminals using one bridge number pair, the greater the reference count. Of course, in some embodiments, the reference count for one bridge number pair of information may be the same as the number of supervising terminals using the bridge number pair.

In this embodiment, when updating the information of the bridge number stored in the information storage object according to the monitoring information, the method may specifically include the following steps:

step S6021: and determining whether a newly-added watching terminal and a terminal to be released corresponding to the monitoring terminal exist or not according to the monitoring information, wherein the newly-added watching terminal and the terminal to be released are both positioned in the second video network.

In this embodiment, the broadcast monitoring information at least may include a broadcast monitoring terminal identifier that needs to perform video monitoring currently, and respective identifiers of a plurality of terminals that need to be monitored by the broadcast monitoring terminal. The first conference management platform can analyze the monitoring information to extract the monitoring terminal identifier and respective identifiers of a plurality of terminals which need to be monitored by the monitoring terminal.

The newly added watching terminal is a terminal which is positioned in the second video network and needs to be monitored this time, and the terminal to be relieved is a terminal which is positioned in the second video network and needs to be monitored this time.

In a specific implementation, when determining whether there are a new viewing terminal and a terminal to be cancelled corresponding to the monitoring terminal according to the monitoring information, the following steps may be performed:

step S60211: and extracting a plurality of target terminal identifications from the monitoring information, wherein the target terminal identifications are identifications belonging to the second video network.

In this embodiment, since the first video network and the second video network are different video networks, different identifiers can be assigned to terminals located in different video networks in the video networks. For example, for a 16-bit video network, the terminal identification of the terminal in the 16-bit video network may be a 16-bit identification, while for a 64-bit video network, the terminal identification of the terminal in the 6-bit 4-video network may be a 64-bit identification. In a specific implementation the identities belonging to said second network of view can be determined according to the byte length of each terminal identity.

Step S60212: and determining whether a newly-added watching terminal and a terminal to be released corresponding to the monitoring terminal exist or not based on the plurality of target terminal identifications and the identifications of the terminals corresponding to the video streams currently watched by the monitoring terminal.

In this embodiment, the bridge number pair information may include, in addition to the bridge number, an identifier of a terminal corresponding to the bridge number pair and an identifier of a broadcast monitoring terminal corresponding to the bridge number pair, where the terminal is a monitored terminal in the second video network. In this way, in a specific implementation, the first conference management platform may determine whether each of the plurality of monitoring terminals corresponds to a newly added viewing terminal and a terminal to be cancelled corresponding to the newly added viewing terminal based on a terminal identifier of the terminal, a monitoring terminal identifier, and the plurality of target terminal identifiers, where the plurality of bridge number pair information stored in the information storage object respectively includes the terminal identifier, the monitoring terminal identifier, and the plurality of target terminal identifiers.

Specifically, for the broadcast monitoring terminal identifier included in the broadcast monitoring information, the bridge number pair information corresponding to the broadcast monitoring terminal identifier may be determined from the stored multiple bridge number pair information, and when a target terminal identifier that is inconsistent with the identifier of the terminal in the broadcast monitoring terminal bridge number pair information exists in the multiple target terminal identifiers, it may be determined that a newly added viewing terminal exists. When the identifier not included in the identifiers of the plurality of target terminals exists in the identifiers of the terminals in the bridge number pair information corresponding to the monitoring terminal, it may be determined that the terminal to be cancelled exists.

For example, the target terminal identifiers a and b included in the broadcast monitoring information, and the broadcast monitoring terminal a, indicate that the broadcast monitoring terminal a needs to monitor the video streams of the terminals corresponding to the target terminal identifiers a and b. The identifiers of the terminals corresponding to the stored information of the plurality of bridge numbers are b and c respectively; if the target terminal identifier a is not included in the terminal identifier b and the terminal identifier c, the terminal corresponding to the target terminal identifier a may be determined as a new added viewing terminal that needs to be monitored by the monitoring terminal a. If the terminal identifier c is not included in the target terminal identifier a and the target terminal identifier b, it may be determined that the terminal corresponding to the terminal identifier c is the terminal to be released, where the watching of the monitoring terminal a needs to be finished.

Step S6022: and when the newly-added watching terminal exists and the bridging number pairs corresponding to the newly-added watching terminal exist in the plurality of bridging number pair information, adding the reference count corresponding to the bridging number pairs corresponding to the newly-added watching terminal.

In this embodiment, when one monitoring terminal has a new viewing terminal, it may be further determined whether a bridge number pair corresponding to the new viewing terminal exists in all the stored bridge number pair information. Specifically, all bridge number pair information may be traversed to determine whether there is a bridge number pair corresponding to the newly added viewing terminal. When one bridge number pair information has the target terminal identification of the newly added watching terminal, the bridge number pair in the bridge number pair information can be determined to correspond to the newly added watching terminal, and under the condition, the first conference management platform can increase the reference count of the bridge number pair information.

In some embodiments, while increasing the reference count, the first conference management platform may send, to the bridge server, a number multiplexing signaling for a bridge number pair corresponding to the identifier of the target terminal, where the number multiplexing signaling may include an identifier of a broadcast monitoring terminal that views the newly added viewing terminal, and the bridge server executes corresponding logic in response to the number multiplexing signaling, so that the bridge number pair may further perform a video streaming service for the newly added viewing terminal and the broadcast monitoring terminal.

Continuing the above example, the terminal corresponding to the target terminal identifier a is determined as the new viewing terminal that needs to be monitored by the monitoring terminal a, and all bridge number pair information is traversed to determine that the bridge number pair information C has the target terminal identifier a, the bridge number pair information C corresponds to the monitoring terminal B, and the bridge number pair is 002-0024, in this case, the reference count in the bridge number pair information C can be increased by 1 on the original basis. It shows that there is one more monitoring terminal for the watching terminal a.

The first conference management platform may send number multiplexing signaling to the bridge server, where the number multiplexing signaling may include an identifier of the monitoring terminal a, and the bridge server performs corresponding logic in response to the number multiplexing signaling, so that the bridge number pair 002-. In this case, the bridge number 002 receives the video stream of the terminal a, and the bridge number 0024 transmits the video stream of the terminal a to the monitoring terminal a and the monitoring terminal B, respectively.

Step S6023: and when the terminal to be canceled exists, determining a bridge number pair corresponding to the terminal to be canceled from the plurality of bridge number pair information, and reducing the reference count corresponding to the bridge number pair corresponding to the terminal to be watched.

In this embodiment, when it is determined that one monitoring terminal has a corresponding terminal to be released, the number of the bridge corresponding to the terminal to be released may be reduced by the corresponding reference technology, for example, by 1. Certainly, in some practical cases, when there may be a plurality of broadcast monitoring terminals having the same corresponding terminal to be released at the same time, that is, the plurality of broadcast monitoring terminals need to release the monitoring of the same terminal, the reference count may still be reduced according to the above steps, where the reduction amount of the reference technology is consistent with the number of broadcast monitoring terminals that need to release the terminal. For example, if there are 3 monitoring terminals that need to release the monitoring of the terminal a, the reference count of the bridge number pair corresponding to the terminal a may be decremented by 3.

In another embodiment, in order to ensure that the first conference management platform can apply for the new terminal or the new monitoring terminal for the bridge number pair through the bridge server when the monitoring terminal is watching the video stream of the new terminal in the second video network and/or to ensure that the new monitoring terminal in the first video network needs to watch the video stream of the terminal in the second video network, so as to ensure that the monitoring terminal normally watches the video stream, the first conference management platform may further perform the following steps:

step S6024: and when the newly-added watching terminal exists, determining that the bridge number pair information does not exist the bridge number pair corresponding to the newly-added watching terminal, and sending a transparent transmission instruction to the bridge server.

In this embodiment, when traversing all the stored bridge number pair information and determining that there is no bridge number pair corresponding to the newly added viewing terminal, a situation may indicate that the newly added viewing terminal has not been monitored by other monitoring terminals before, and then the first conference management platform may send a passthrough instruction to the bridge server. The transparent transmission instruction can carry the target terminal identification of the newly added watching terminal and the monitoring terminal identification of the monitoring terminal for monitoring the newly added watching terminal.

Step S6025: and receiving a newly added bridge number pair returned by the bridge server aiming at the transparent transmission instruction.

In a specific implementation, the bridge server may determine, in response to the transparent transmission instruction, a bridge number corresponding to the first video network side and a bridge number corresponding to the second video network side from among the plurality of bridge numbers already in the idle state, and send the two bridge numbers as a new bridge number pair to the first conference management platform.

Step S6026: and generating bridge number pair information corresponding to the newly added bridge number pair.

Step S6027: and storing bridge number pair information corresponding to the newly added bridge number pair into the information storage object, and initializing reference counts corresponding to the newly added bridge number pair.

In this embodiment, when the first conference management platform receives the newly added bridge number pair, bridge number pair information corresponding to the newly added bridge number pair may be generated, where the bridge number pair information may include the newly added bridge number pair, a reference count, a target terminal identifier of the newly added viewing terminal, and a monitor terminal identifier of a monitor terminal that monitors the newly added viewing terminal.

Specifically, the first conference management platform may store bridge number pair information corresponding to the newly added bridge number pair into the information storage object, where initializing a reference count corresponding to the newly added bridge number pair may refer to initializing the reference count corresponding to the newly added bridge number pair to 1.

In this embodiment, the first conference management platform may poll the reference counts in the information of the plurality of bridge number pairs stored in the information storage object at intervals of a period of time, for example, 5 seconds, and determine the bridge number pair corresponding to the reference count being the preset reference count as the bridge number pair to be released.

The preset reference count may be 0, that is, when the reference count corresponding to a bridge number pair is 0, it may indicate that the bridge number pair is not used by any monitoring terminal and a terminal in the corresponding second video network, and may release the bridge number pair.

In practice, when the number of the broadcast monitoring terminals used by a certain bridge number pair is 0, the bridge number pair is released, but in some services, there may be monitoring for the same terminal at short intervals, for example, when a terminal a is not monitored by any broadcast monitoring terminal, the corresponding reference count is 0, but there is a short interval, for example, 1 second, and a new broadcast monitoring terminal needs to watch the video stream of the terminal a, in this case, the bridge number pair needs to be applied for the terminal a, and thus, the broadcast monitoring efficiency is affected.

Then in some embodiments the bridging number pair information may also include a number of timeouts; the timeout times may represent the times when the reference count is a preset reference count, and before determining a bridge number pair to be cancelled according to the updated information of the plurality of bridge number pairs, the first conference management platform may further perform the following steps:

step S621: and traversing the reference counts corresponding to the information of the plurality of bridge numbers in the information storage object at each preset time interval.

Step S622: and determining first bridging number pair information corresponding to a preset reference count from the plurality of bridging number pair information in the information storage object, and increasing the overtime times in the first bridging number pair information.

Step S623: and determining second bridging number pair information of which the reference count is not corresponding to the preset reference count from the plurality of bridging number pair information in the information storage object, and setting the overtime times in the second bridging number pair information as preset times.

The preset time can be set according to requirements, for example, set to 3 seconds or 5 seconds. When the bridge number pair information is generated for the first time, the number of times of timeout of the bridge number pair information may be set to 0. And in the subsequent process of fusing the video conference, carrying out adaptive adjustment on the overtime times according to the continuously updated bridge number pair information.

In a specific implementation, for each piece of first bridge number pair information with the reference count of the preset reference count, when the reference count in the first bridge number pair information is detected to be the preset reference count, the number of times of timeout in the first bridge number pair information is increased. And when detecting that the reference count in the first bridging number pair information is not the preset reference count, reducing the overtime times in the first bridging number pair information.

In this way, the first conference management platform can dynamically manage the use condition of each bridge number pair. For example, at the time 20 minutes and 00 seconds, the terminal a is monitored by the monitoring terminal a and the monitoring terminal a at the same time, the reference count of the corresponding bridge number pair 002-. If the reference count of the bridge number pair 002-.

In this embodiment, on the basis that the bridge number pair information includes the reference count and the timeout number, when determining the bridge number pair to be released according to the updated plurality of bridge number pair information, the bridge number pair to be released may be determined according to the respective timeout number of the plurality of bridge number pair information.

Referring to fig. 8, a schematic diagram illustrating management of a bridge number pair by the first conference management platform in a further embodiment is shown. As shown in fig. 8, the bridge number pair information includes a reference count and a timeout time, where the first conference management platform may manage bridge number pair information corresponding to a plurality of monitoring terminals. As shown in connection with fig. 8, the first conference management platform may perform the following steps:

step S6031: and determining whether the respective timeout times of the updated information of the plurality of bridge numbers reach the preset timeout times.

Step S6032: and when determining that target bridging number pair information with the overtime times reaching the preset overtime times exists, determining the bridging number pair in the target bridging number pair information as a released bridging number pair.

In this embodiment, the first conference management platform may traverse the respective reference counts of all the bridge number pairs at intervals of a preset time, so as to adjust the respective timeout times of all the bridge number pairs, and determine the bridge number pair corresponding to the timeout times as the preset timeout times as the bridge number pair to be cancelled.

Certainly, the first conference management platform may also traverse the timeout times corresponding to all bridge number pairs in real time to determine whether there is target bridge number pair information whose timeout times are preset timeout times, and when there is target bridge number pair information, determine a bridge number pair in the target bridge number pair information as a bridge number pair to be cancelled.

For example, as shown in fig. 8, the first conference management platform is a 16-bit conference manager, and when the newly added viewing terminal is the first monitored terminal, the bridge server is applied for the bridge number pair for the first time, and when the reference count corresponding to one bridge number pair is 0 and the timeout number exceeds 3 times, the bridge server is applied for releasing the bridge number pair.
