With the development of web conferencing technology, web conferencing applications have been available to share written content among multiple participants in a conference. For example, a particular participant may perform a writing action in a writing area in a local computing device, and other participants may view the particular participant's writing in a display area in respective local computing devices. However, transferring written content between various participants requires the use of various resources of the computing device and additional network bandwidth, which may affect the audio and/or video transfer quality of the web conference. At this time, how to manage the written content in a more efficient manner becomes a problem to be solved.

Example Environment

A variety of conference applications have been developed, and first an overview of the conference application is described with reference to fig. 1. FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of an example environment 100 in which implementations of the present disclosure can be implemented. As shown in fig. 1, a server 150 for providing a web conference service may be accessed by multiple participants via respective computing devices. In particular, participants 110, 120, 122, …, and 124 may access server 150 in network 130 via

respective computing devices

140, 142, 144, …, and 146, respectively. For example, participant 110 may be a presenter in a network conference who may perform written actions and share written content with other participants; and participants 120, 122, …, and 124 may be viewers who may view written content from the presenter.

Participant 110 may perform a writing action in a writing area at computing device 140. It will be appreciated that the writing area herein may be similar to a "sketchpad" in that the participant 110 may select a desired color, line width, etc. to write, draw, etc. on the sketchpad. Alternatively and/or additionally, participant 110 may enter text into the writing area. The content in the writing area may be shared with the other participants 120, 122, … and 124 via the server 150.

At this point, the other participants may view the content in the writing area of participant 110 at the display area at the respective computing devices. The process of sharing written content requires additional computing resources and network bandwidth, which may affect the quality of the transmission of audio and/or video data in a web conference, and thus the user experience. It is therefore desirable to manage written content in a more efficient manner and to improve the use experience of web conferencing applications.

Managing a summary process of written content

To address the deficiencies in the above described solutions, according to one exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, a method for managing written content is provided. In summary, the writing area may be divided into a plurality of writing sections, the writing action in each writing section may be detected separately, and only the content in the writing section where the change occurs is transmitted in the sharing process.

In the following, an overview of one exemplary implementation according to the present disclosure is described with reference to fig. 2, which fig. 2 shows a block diagram 200 for managing written content according to some implementations of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the writing area 210 is located at the computing device 140 of the participant 110 performing the writing action. In order to manage the writing area 210 in a more precise manner, the writing area 210 may be divided into a plurality of writing sections. In FIG. 2, writing area 210 is divided into 9 writing sections, each of which may be identified by row and column coordinates. For example, the identifier of the writing section may be represented as (i, j), where i and j are integers used to represent a row number and a column number, respectively. In the case where the writing area 210 is divided into M N partitions, 1 ≦ i ≦ M and 1 ≦ j ≦ N.

Once the writing section has been partitioned, the content of the entire writing area 210 need not be transmitted when sharing the writing content, but rather only the content of the writing section where the change occurred may be transmitted. In fig. 2, it is assumed that participant 110 has added two tracks within writing area 210, where only the writing contents of section (1,1) and section (1,2) are changed, and the contents of the other sections are unchanged. In sharing written content, only the contents of the partition (1,1) and the partition (1,2) need to be transferred. By using the exemplary implementation manner of the present disclosure, the overhead of various resources and network bandwidth involved in sharing the written content can be greatly reduced, thereby reducing the interference of the shared written content on the web conference application, and further improving the use experience of the participants.

Detailed process for managing written content

Having described a summary of managing written content with reference to FIG. 2, further information in accordance with an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure is described below. According to one exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, a writing action may be detected in the writing area 210 of the computing device 140. The writing action may include multifaceted content and the participant 110 may select a desired writing mode to add writing to the writing area 210.

For example, the participant 110 may choose to draw in the written area 210 using a solid black line. At this time, the trajectory of the input device may describe various trajectory shapes, and these trajectories will be the content of the writing in the writing area 210. As another example, participant 110 may select a desired font and font size to enter text in writing area 210. At this time, the inputted text may be displayed in the selected font and font size, and the book and the written contents in the writing area 210 are formed.

According to one exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, a writing action may span one or more writing sections in writing area 210. If a writing action is detected in a writing section in the writing area, the writing content in the writing section can be acquired and transmitted. In particular, the trajectory and/or text described above may be acquired and transmitted.

It will be understood that the transmission destination is not limited in the context of the present disclosure, and the written content may be transmitted to the server 150 for managing the web conference and forwarded by the server 150 to the computing devices of the other participants. Alternatively and/or additionally, the written content may also be transmitted directly to the computing devices of the other participants. In this way, the written content may be caused to be displayed in a display area of a computing device other than computing device 140.

According to one exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, written content may be transmitted in a message having a predetermined format. FIG. 3 illustrates a block diagram 300 of a message for managing written content, in accordance with some implementations of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, message 310 may include a plurality of fields, which may include, for example, written content 320 for storing content retrieved in a given written partition. In the following, further details regarding written content 320 are described with reference to fig. 4, which fig. 4 illustrates a block diagram 400 of written content in accordance with some implementations of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 4, participant 110 may draw track 410 in writing section 430, at which point track data 412 may include coordinates of various track points in track 410, e.g., (x 1, y 1), (x 2, y 2), …, and (xN, yN). Further, participant 110 may add text 420 to writing section 430, and text data 422 may include specific text content (e.g., "ABC") and where the text is located. The text position may be represented based on a variety of ways, for example, the text position may be represented using coordinates of the lower left corner of the text (or the upper left corner, etc.) in writing section 430. Once the starting position to the left of the text has been determined, the individual characters in the text can be arranged in order, thereby determining the position of the entire text content.

At this time, the written content 320 may include the trajectory data 412 and/or the text data 422 as shown in fig. 4. It will be appreciated that participant 110 may add one or more tracks in writing section 430 and may add one or more text strings. At this time, the written content 320 may include a written trace associated with the current writing action and may also include a previous written trace associated with a previous writing action prior to the current writing action. Further, the written content 320 may include written text associated with the current written action. Previously written text associated with a previously written action prior to the current written action may also be included. According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, the various tracks and text in written content 320 may be stored in a linked list and/or a table, among other ways.

With example implementations of the disclosure, the written content 320 may record all of the content in the writing section, and the computing device 140 may directly and/or indirectly transmit the written content 320 to the computing device 142 so that all of the content in various writing sections in the writing area 210 in the computing device 140 may be shared to the participant 120.

According to an example implementation of the present disclosure, the message 310 may further include a writing section ID 322 to indicate an identifier of the writing section in which the written content 320 is located. Continuing with the example of FIG. 4, assuming writing section 430 is the 1 st writing section of line 1 in writing area 210, writing section ID 322 may be represented as (1,1). The writing partition ID may be transmitted via message 320 to display the written content 320 in the corresponding display partition in the computing device 140.

It will be appreciated that the display area of the computing device 142 may be divided into multiple display sections, in which case the multiple display sections may correspond to multiple writing sections in the writing area 210, respectively. According to one exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, the display area may include 9 display sections, similar to the squared figure approach as shown in fig. 2. At this point, because the message 310 carries the written content 320 and the writing section ID 322, the computing device 142 may display the written content 320 in a display section of the display area that corresponds to the writing section ID 322 based on the received message 310.

With example implementations of the present disclosure, written content may be displayed in respective display sections. In this way, it is not necessary to transmit the written content of the entire writing area 210, but it is possible to transmit only the written content in the writing section in which the change occurs and to specify exactly at which position the written content is displayed by the writing section ID 322. In this way, various resource overheads involved in data transmission may be reduced, thereby improving the performance of the web conference application.

It will be appreciated that as the web conference progresses, the participants 110 may continually update the content in the various writing sections, and may set version numbers for the written content. The version format may be set based on a variety of ways, for example, a time stamp may be used to represent the version, at which point the written content with the latest time stamp is the latest version. Alternatively and/or additionally, the versions may be represented in an incremental manner, in which case the written content with the largest version number is the latest version.

Returning to fig. 3, message 310 may further include version 324. At this point, message 310 carries written content 320, written partition ID 322, and version 324. In this manner, the written content 320 having the latest version (i.e., version 324) may be caused to be displayed in the display section of the computing device 142 corresponding to the writing section ID 322. In this way, written content can be shared in real time and accurately.

According to one example implementation of the present disclosure, the writing pattern in which participant 110 performed the writing action may be recorded so that the written content is displayed in the exact same writing pattern in the display area of computing device 142. For further details regarding writing patterns, reference is made to FIG. 5, which illustrates a block diagram 500 of a writing pattern for specifying a writing action, in accordance with some implementations of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, writing mode 510 may specify multifaceted information of the writing action, which may include, for example and without limitation, at least any of the following: color 520, line width 522, line type 524, font 530, font size 532, style 534.

In particular, when a participant 110 adds a trace 410 in a writing section 430, a color 520 (e.g., black, red, or blue, etc.) of the trace may be selected, a line width 522 (e.g., 0.5 millimeters, 1 millimeter, or 1.5 millimeters, etc.) of the trace may be selected, and a linearity 524 (e.g., solid, dashed, or dashed, etc.) of the trace may be selected. Further, when participant 110 adds text 420 in writing section 430, a color 520 of the text may be selected, a font of the text may be selected (e.g., regular, song, or song-like, etc.), a font size of the text may be selected (e.g., 12, 16, or 20, etc.), and a style of the text may be selected (e.g., a line removed, bolded, or italicized, etc.).

According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, a unique identifier (i.e., a writing pattern ID) may be assigned to each writing pattern, and the writing pattern ID may be used as an index of specific information of the writing pattern. For example, the correspondence of the writing pattern ID and the specific information of the writing pattern may be stored in the mapping table. Specifically, the writing pattern ID "001" may correspond to the following writing pattern: (color = black, line width =1, …), the writing pattern ID "002" may correspond to the writing pattern as follows: (color = red, line width =2, …), and so on.

Returning to FIG. 3, message 310 may further include a writing pattern 326. At this point, the writing mode 326 may indicate which mode to use to draw a trace and/or enter text. In this way, the writing pattern of the content displayed in the display area of the computing device 142 may be ensured to be the same as the writing pattern in the writing area 210 of the computing device 140, and thus accurate sharing of the written content between the

computing devices

140 and 142 may be achieved.

It will be appreciated that after the participant 110 selects a writing mode, multiple writing actions may be performed in succession (e.g., drawing multiple traces, and/or entering multiple text strings, etc.). At this time, the writing mode does not have to be transmitted for each writing action, but only when a selection operation of the participant 110 selecting the writing mode is detected, the selected writing mode is transmitted so that the subsequent written content is displayed in the writing mode. In this way, the amount of data to be transmitted may be reduced, thereby further reducing the overhead of sharing various resources and network bandwidth associated with written content.

In this manner, when computing device 142 receives message 310, it may first be determined whether a new writing pattern 326 is included in message 310. If so, the written content 320 may be rendered in the display section corresponding to the writing section ID 322 using the received new writing mode. In this way, the performance of the web conference application can be further improved while ensuring real-time and accurate sharing of written content.

According to one exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, the entire written content may be transmitted in a full-volume transmission. In this way, written content can be shared in a simple manner without requiring additional computation. Alternatively and/or additionally, the difference between the written content and the previous version of the written content may be transmitted in an incremental transmission. When incremental transmission is employed, it is not necessary to transmit written content that has been shared previously, but only the differences between the current written content and the previous version. In this way, the resource overhead and network bandwidth overhead resulting from sharing written content may be further reduced, thereby reducing the performance impact on the web conferencing application.

According to an example implementation of the present disclosure, writing area 210 may be a writing area of a plurality of writing areas shared among a plurality of users of a web conference. At this point, message 310 may further include a web conference ID 328. In this way, it may be convenient to distinguish which netmeeting's related content is the currently transmitted written content, and thus share the written content among the desired participants.

According to one exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, there may be multiple writing areas in a web conference. At this time, a unique identifier may be assigned to each writing area, and the message 310 may further include a writing area ID 330. Assuming that the netmeeting includes 4 writing areas, 1,2, 3, and 4 can be used to identify each writing area, respectively. In this way, it may be convenient to distinguish between multiple writing areas in a web conference, thereby providing participants with a shared service of multiple writing areas in a more accurate manner.

According to an example implementation of the present disclosure, the operation of transmitting message 310 may be triggered based on a variety of predetermined conditions. For example, the message 310 may be transmitted at predetermined time intervals (e.g., 0.5 seconds or other values). In particular, the difference between the current time and the previously transmitted time may be compared and if the difference meets a predetermined time interval, the transmission operation is triggered.

According to one exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, there may be the following: the participant 110 does not update the written content for a long time or the participant 110 keeps the position of the input device unchanged for a long time while drawing the trajectory. Thus, changes in the written content do not draw the visual attention of the participants. At this point, too frequent message transmission only increases the consumption of network bandwidth, but does not improve the user experience. Thus, differences between the current writing and the previous version of the writing may be compared. If the difference meets a predetermined condition, triggering a transmission operation; otherwise, it may continue to wait until the difference satisfies a predetermined condition. According to an exemplary implementation manner of the present disclosure, the above two triggering manners may be combined, or other triggering manners may be used.

By using the exemplary implementation mode of the disclosure, various resource overheads and overheads of network bandwidth caused by message transmission can be reduced as much as possible while ensuring real-time and accurate sharing of written content. In this way, the impact of written content sharing on the performance of the web conferencing application may be further reduced.

According to one exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, the writing actions of participant 110 may extend from one writing section to another. At this time, whether or not there is a writing action may be detected in each writing section, respectively, so that processing is performed in a similar manner after the writing action is detected.

Specifically, if a writing action is detected in another writing section of the plurality of writing sections, another writing content in the other writing section may be acquired. For example, the relevant writing content, writing partition ID, version, writing mode, netmeeting ID, and writing area ID may be packaged based on the message 310 shown in FIG. 3 above. A message 310 may be transmitted from the computing device 140 to display the corresponding written content in the display area of the computing device 142. In other words, written content 320 having version 324 may be displayed with writing mode 326 in a display section of computing device 142 that corresponds to the writing section ID. Where the web conference involves multiple writing areas, the multiple writing areas of the web conference may be further differentiated, thereby sharing the entire written content within the writing area 210 of the participant 110 among the multiple computing devices.

In the following, more information of the shared written content is described with reference to fig. 6. FIG. 6 illustrates a block diagram 600 for sharing written content between two computing devices, according to some implementations of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, a participant 110 may perform a writing action in a writing area 210 in his own computing device 140. For example, participant 110 may draw trajectories 610 and 612, trajectory 610 being inside the writing section (1,1) and trajectory 612 spanning writing sections (1,1) and (1,2). At this time, the written contents associated with the writing partitions (1,1) and (1,2) may be transmitted separately in the format of the message 310 shown in fig. 3 above. In turn, respective trajectories 620 and 622 may be displayed in respective display sections in a display area 630 of the computing device 142 of the participant 120.

Having described the details of the various stages for managing written content above, the interactive process of sharing written content between computing devices of multiple participants is described below with reference to FIG. 7. Fig. 7 illustrates a trajectory diagram 700 of interactions between multiple devices according to some implementations of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7, at the computing device 140 of the participant 110, it may first be verified (710) whether the participant 110 has writing rights. If the verification result is negative, the process of sharing the written content can be ended. If the verification result is yes, the subsequent process is continued.

Computing device 140 may detect (712) whether there is an occurrence of an action within each writing section in writing area 210. If so, the message may be generated in the format described with reference to FIG. 3. In turn, the computing device 140 may transmit (714) the message to the server 150 of the web conference. Server 150 may parse 716 the message to determine the writing section, writing pattern ID, and corresponding writing content where the change occurred. The writing section, writing pattern ID, and current, up-to-date writing content may be stored (718) in a database at server 150 for distribution (720) of the writing section, writing pattern ID, and writing content to computing device 142, which may be distributed, for example, according to the format of message 310 described above.

After receiving the data from server 150, computing device 142 may determine (722) whether specific information for the writing pattern corresponding to the writing pattern ID exists locally. It will be understood that the writing pattern ID herein is merely a keyword for indicating a writing pattern, and does not include information of a specific color, line width, and the like. Therefore, the writing pattern ID is used as a key to search for specific information, so that the written content can be locally rendered. If specific information of the writing pattern can be found locally, a follow-up action can be performed. In particular, the computing device 142 may determine (728) a display region corresponding to the writing region, and may draw the written content in the display region using the writing mode.

If the specific writing pattern information cannot be found locally, the computing device 142 may request (724) the server 150 for specific information of the writing pattern, at which point the server 150 may distribute (726) the writing pattern to the computing device. Assuming that the writing pattern ID is "001", the specific information returned at this time may be expressed as: (color = black, line width =1, …). In turn, the computing device 142 may display the written content in the determined writing section in accordance with the writing mode described above.

It will be appreciated that although fig. 7 schematically illustrates forwarding a message to computing device 142 via server 150, computing device 140 may transmit the message directly to computing device 142, and at this point computing device 142 may itself parse the received message and display the parsed content in a local display area. Further, although fig. 7 only shows sharing written content between

computing devices

140 and 142, alternatively and/or additionally written content may be shared between more computing devices. For example, server 150 may forward messages to computing devices 144, …, 146, respectively, in a similar manner in order to share written content among more computing devices.

With the exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, only written content in the writing section where a change occurs may be transmitted. Thus, the overhead of sharing the various resources and network bandwidth involved in writing content may be greatly reduced, thereby reducing interference with the web conferencing application and improving the use experience of the participants.

Example procedure

FIG. 8 illustrates a flow diagram of a method 800 for managing written content according to some implementations of the present disclosure. Specifically, at block 810, a writing action is detected in a writing area of a first computing device. At block 820, it is determined whether a writing action is detected in a writing section of a plurality of writing sections in the writing area. If the determination is YES, the method 800 proceeds to block 830 to obtain the written content in the writing section. At block 840, the written content is transmitted such that the written content is displayed in a display area of a second computing device different from the first computing device.

According to an exemplary implementation of the present disclosure, the method 800 further comprises: the partition identifier of the writing partition is transmitted such that the written content is displayed in a display partition in the display area of the second computing device that corresponds to the partition identifier.
