Description

Group call method, device, equipment and storage medium

Technical Field

The present invention relates to cluster communication technologies, and in particular, to a group call method, apparatus, device, and storage medium.

Background

A Push To Talk (PTT) service is provided by a Push To Talk (Mission Critical Push To Talk, MCPTT) service, which is adapted To a scenario in which a key task is performed, and supports functions such as authentication, group attachment, group management, group call, single call, priority call, floor control, and location reporting.

In the existing third generation partnership project (3 GPP) multicast specifications of communication systems, when a user is interested in certain groups, an affilation (joining) procedure for those groups is initiated, hopefully to join in a group session for listening when those groups are active. Conversely, if the user is no longer interested in certain groups, a de-affirmation flow of those groups is initiated. When the user monitors the interested group, the trigger button initiates a speaking right application request, the server decides to grant the speaking right to the user after judging, and the user can speak in the current monitored group.

However, the above-described techniques do not meet the need for a user to wish to quickly switch to a particular group to speak while in an idle state or listening to other group states.

Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary examples are not representative of all implementations consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the accompanying claims.

Embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While certain embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, it is to be understood that the present application may be embodied in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein, but rather are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present application. It should be understood that the drawings and examples of the present application are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.

The terms referred to in this application are explained first:

group call (abbreviated group call): refers to half-duplex communication between a calling party and multiple called parties (i.e., one-to-many). In the group calling process, only one member of a group can speak at the same time, and other members can only answer. The group call may be classified into a temporary group call and a predefined group call. Members of the temporary group are customized on the mobile terminal by the user, and the group information is stored in the terminal. The predefined group is managed by a group manager or a common group manager, and group information is stored in a group management server;

PTT (Push to Talk): is a mobile phone service, which uses the push-to-talk service of GPRS mobile phone to achieve wireless phone-like communication mode, and is also translated into one-key dialogue;

MCPTT (Mission Critical Push To Talk): the key task Push-To-Talk (PTT) service is an enhanced Push-To-Talk (PTT) service, is suitable for a scene for executing a key task, and supports functions of authentication, group attachment, group management, group calling, single call, priority call, floor control, position reporting and the like;

third generation partnership project (3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP): is a very purposeful and project-driven organization, which stands for month 12 of 1998. Multiple telecommunication standards organization partners have jointly signed the third generation partnership project agreement. The goal is to realize the smooth transition from the 2G network to the 3G network, ensure the backward compatibility of future technology, and support easy networking and roaming and compatibility between systems. The function is mainly to set up the third generation technical specification based on GSM core network, UTRA (FDD is W-CDMA technology, TDD is TD-CDMA technology) as radio interface.

With the acceleration of the society's pace, it is always desirable to be able to make a call immediately by pressing a certain key, instead of dialing a number first and then waiting for a call for several seconds or more as in a public mobile phone. If the opposite party cannot answer, for example, when the talking is not known to end, the opposite party can only wait for the opposite party to answer. Accordingly, push-to-talk services capable of realizing quick calls have received widespread attention once they have appeared.

In the current third generation partnership project (3 GPP) multicast specifications, when a user is interested in certain groups, an affilation (joining) procedure for those groups is initiated, hopefully joining in a group session for listening when those groups are active. Conversely, if the user is no longer interested in certain groups, a de-affirmation flow of those groups is initiated. When the user monitors and activates the group, the trigger button can initiate a speaking right application request, the server decides to grant the speaking right to the user after judging, and the user can speak in the group.

However, the above-described techniques do not support the need for a user to wish to quickly switch to a particular group to speak while in an idle state or listening to other group states. The user wishes to set a working group, whether in an idle state or listening to a group, and when a key is triggered, the user can quickly switch to the set working group to talk.

The method for group calling aims to solve the technical problems in the prior art.

In the following, an exemplary application scenario of the present application is described.

Fig. 1 is an exemplary application scenario provided in the present application, as shown in fig. 1, including a server and a plurality of clients. The client 1 may be a calling party, i.e. a terminal device that initiates a group call. Client 1 initiates a call request under the group to the server, which notifies the members of the group, client 2 through client n. The clients 2 to n are terminal devices of the called party, and can monitor voice information in the call request initiated by the client 1. The number of the terminal devices of the called party is not limited, and in addition, the types of the terminal devices of the calling party and the terminal devices of the called party are not limited, so long as the group call function can be realized.

For example, the client may be a personal computer (Personal Computer; PC) or a mobile terminal, which may also be referred to as User Equipment (UE), an access terminal, a subscriber unit, a subscriber station, a mobile station, a User terminal, a wireless communication device, a User agent, or a User Equipment. The mobile terminal may be a smart phone, a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, abbreviated as PDA) device, a handheld device with a wireless communication function or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, a car-mounted device, a wearable device, etc., and the terminal device of the calling party or the terminal device of the called party may be any one or more of the above. In addition, the embodiment of the invention does not limit the type of the server.

In the actual application process, taking the client 1 as an example, when the client 1 is monitoring an interested group, the user operates the trigger button, that is, a speaking right application request is sent to the server, and after the server judges and authorizes the speaking right of the client 1, the user can speak in the current monitored group through the client 1. In addition, when a user is speaking in a group through client 1, the server may pull the speaking user into other groups of interest, thereby disabling the user from continuing to speak in the previously speaking group.

Based on this, the present application provides a group call method, and the group call method provided by the present application is described below.

When introducing the group call method provided in the present application, the user's state should be such that the PTT or MCPTT service is normally entered by the client. It will be appreciated that when a client is powered off due to a fault or insufficient power, the user cannot monitor or call.

The following describes the technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above technical problems in detail with specific embodiments. The following embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments. Embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a method for group call provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the method may be performed by a device initiated by a group call, and the device may be implemented by software and/or hardware, for example: the apparatus may be a client or a terminal device, and a method for performing a group call using an MCPTT client as an execution subject will be described.

As shown in fig. 2, the method in the embodiment of the present invention may include:

S101, acquiring user operation in a first state.

The user operation may be pressing, clicking or touching a group call initiation key, where the group call initiation key may be one or more of a push-to-talk PTT key, an MCPTT key, or an emergency call key, and the group call initiation key may be one or more of a button form of an entity on the client device and a virtual key form of an interactive interface of the client. The embodiment of the application does not limit a specific mode of acquiring the user operation in the first state, and does not limit the specific user operation. When the clients are different types of terminal devices, the user operations required for initiating the group call may also be different, so long as the group call can be initiated according to the user operations.

S102, responding to the user operation, and executing group calling under a first group preset by a user.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a client responding to a user operation according to an embodiment of the present application, where, as shown in fig. 3, the client initiates a group call request to a server by pressing or clicking an entity initiation key provided on an MCPTT client by a user. Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of another client responding to a user operation according to an embodiment of the present application, where, as shown in fig. 4, the client initiates a group call request to the server by pressing or clicking an entity initiation key provided on another form of MCPTT client by the user. Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a client responding to a user operation according to an embodiment of the present application, where, as shown in fig. 5, the client initiates a group call request to a server by pressing, clicking or touching a virtual initiation key provided on an interactive interface of another form of MCPTT client by a user.

Specifically, the first group preset by the user refers to that a certain group is set as the first group before the user initiates a group call, and the first group refers to a group which the user wants to quickly switch to and speak through user operation.

The first group described below, not specifically described, refers to a group preset by the user.

It is understood that the group that can be preset as the first group should be a group to which the user has joined. In the actual application process, the method for joining the group by the user is not limited, so long as the requirement that the user sets a certain group as the first group can be met. Fig. 6 is a schematic flow chart of an exemplary group joining process provided in the present application, as shown in fig. 6, in step 01, an MCPTT client initiates a request for joining a group to an MCPTT server; step 02a, the MCPTT server requests the group management server to inquire the corresponding group strategy; step 02b, receiving a feedback group strategy; step 03, judging based on the group strategy, the user information of the initiating request and other limiting terms, and authorizing the user to join the group; step 04, the MCPTT server stores the states of the users and the groups; step 05a, the MCPTT server feeds back the decision of joining the group to the user; and meanwhile, executing step 05b, the MCPTT server feeds back the states of the users and the groups to the group management server, and synchronously updating the information.

S103, if the user operation is finished, returning to the first state.

The triggering manner of ending the user operation may be stopping pressing the group call initiation key, clicking or touching the group call initiation key again. The group call initiation key may be one or more of a push-to-talk PTT key, an MCPTT key, or an emergency call key, and the group call initiation key may be one or more of a button form of an entity on the client device, and a virtual key form of an interactive interface of the client. The embodiment of the application does not limit a specific mode of acquiring the user operation in the first state, and does not limit the specific user operation. When the clients are different types of terminal devices, the user operations required for initiating the group call may also be different, so long as the group call can be initiated according to the user operations.

In an example, the group call method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes: stopping performing the group scanning process in response to a user operation; alternatively, in response to a user operation, a stop-scan request for instructing the MCPTT server to stop the group scan process with respect to the MCPTT client is transmitted to the MCPTT server. The responsive user operation is the user operation in the first state acquired in S101.

Specifically, the group scanning process refers to that the client scans all interested groups added by the user, and pulls the user into a certain group according to a certain rule. For example, the client scans all interested groups of the user, pulls the user into the group with the highest priority according to the priority of the group, and monitors. The scanning rule is not particularly limited, and the user can be monitored by selecting an interested group from all groups added by the user.

The decision device for stopping the group scanning process may be a client, and the client decides to stop the group scanning process; or may be a server, and the client sends a request to the MCPTT server to stop the group scanning, where the request is used to instruct the MCPTT server to stop the group scanning process with respect to the MCPTT client. By stopping the group scanning process in response to the user operation, the user can not be pulled into other interested group sessions when speaking under the preset first group, and the user can be ensured to speak smoothly under the preset first group.

Further, the group call method provided by the present application further includes: if the user operation is finished, starting group scanning; alternatively, a start scan request is sent to the MCPTT server, the start scan request being used to instruct the MCPTT server to start a group scan process with respect to the MCPTT client. The responsive user operation is the user operation in the first state acquired in S101.

The decision device for starting the group scanning process can be a client, and the client decides to start the group scanning process; or may be a server, and the client sends a request to the MCPTT server to initiate a group scan, the initiate scan request being used to instruct the MCPTT server to initiate a group scan process with respect to the MCPTT client.

After the user finishes the operation, the group scanning process is started, so that the user releases the speaking right after speaking in the preset first group, and at this time, the user may be pulled into other interested group sessions to monitor, or may not be pulled away to monitor the speaking of other group members under the first group. Specifically, taking the group priority as the group scanning rule for example, when there is no group session with higher priority than the first group, the group session is not pulled away, and other group members in the first group can be monitored to speak.

Further, S102 specifically includes: responding to the user operation, and executing group calling under a first group preset by a user if the first state is an idle state; responding to user operation, and executing group calling under the first group if the first state is a monitoring state and the current monitored group is a first group preset by a user; responding to the user operation, if the first state is the monitoring state and the current monitored group is not the first group preset by the user, exiting the current monitored group, and executing the group call under the first group. The above arrangement provides a way to enable the user to perform a group call in a preset group in different first states, so that the user can quickly switch to the preset group to speak.

The following describes in detail the manner of implementing the group call performed by the user in the preset group in different first states with reference to the legend.

Fig. 7 is a schematic operation flow diagram of a group call according to an embodiment of the present application. When the first state is the idle state, the operation flow of the user to initiate the group call is shown in fig. 7. The initiation key is pressed to initiate group call, and the initiation key is released to release speaking right is taken as an example. The method and the device do not limit the operation form of the user, and only the initiation of group calling can be realized. The triggering form for ending the user operation is not limited, so long as the call release right can be ended.

As shown in fig. 7, pressing the initiate key first the MCPTT client, MCPTT server pauses the group scanning process, then performs the group call under the first group; the initiating key is released, and the MCPTT client and the MCPTT server restart the group scanning process, and then may enter other interested groups.

Wherein the specific step of performing the group call under the first group is related to the state of the first group. The states of the first group include an inactive state and an active state.

One possible scenario is: executing group calling under a first group preset by a user, specifically comprising: if the first group is inactive, the group call under the first group is activated and talking. Wherein, the inactive state refers to that the group call under the first group is not initiated yet, and no group member under the first group speaks. A group member is active when it is sounding and other members can monitor. When no group member in a group sounds, it is inactive.

Another possible case is: executing the group call under the first group preset by the user, comprising: if the first group is in an activated state, initiating a speaking right application request to the MCPTT server; the speaking right application request comprises group information of a first group, and the speaking right application request is used for enabling the MCPTT server to grant speaking right to a user; the activated state refers to the group call under the first group having been initiated, with the group members under the first group speaking.

Fig. 8 is a schematic operation flow diagram of a group call in an inactive state according to an embodiment of the present application, where the user is in an idle state and the first group is in an inactive state. Fig. 8 is a further definition of the step of performing a group call under a first group preset by the user on the basis of fig. 7.

As shown in fig. 8, the initiate key is pressed, and first the MCPTT client, the MCPTT server, pauses the group scanning process. The client then activates the first group session and the user can speak. The initiation key is released, and the MCPTT client and the MCPTT server restart the group scanning process, and then may enter into other interested group sessions. The activation manner may be a first sound production of the user under the first group, and in the application, the activation manner is not specifically limited, and in the actual application process, the activation manner is determined by a specific setting program of the client.

Fig. 9 is a schematic operation flow diagram of a group call in an activated state according to an embodiment of the present application, and is an operation flow of a group call when a user is in an idle state and a first group is in an activated state. Fig. 9 is a further definition of the step of performing a group call under a first group preset by the user on the basis of fig. 7.

As shown in fig. 9, the initiate key is pressed, and first the MCPTT client, the MCPTT server, pauses the group scanning process. After that, the user joins the activated first group session, and can speak after robbing the speaking right. The initiating key is released, and the MCPTT client and the MCPTT server restart the group scanning process, and then may enter other interested groups.

The method of joining the activated first group session can directly join the session to enter a monitoring state, or can initiate a session joining request to the MCPTT server, and join the session after being judged and authorized by the MCPTT server. The method for joining the activated first group session is not limited to the above two methods, and is determined by a specific setting program of the client in the actual application process. In addition, the mode of robbing the speaking right can be to initiate a speaking right application request to the MCPTT server, and the speaking right can be played after the judgment and the authorization of the MCPTT server.

When the first state is the listening state and the current listening group is the first group preset by the user, the operation flow of the user for initiating the group call may also be as shown in fig. 7. Because the monitored group is the first group, indicating that the first group is activated, the operation flow of the user to initiate the group call may also be as shown in fig. 9.

Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of an operation flow of another group call provided in the embodiment of the present application, where the operation flow of the group call is when the first state is a listening state and the current listening group is not a first group preset by the user. The initiation key is pressed to initiate group call, and the initiation key is released to release speaking right is taken as an example. The method and the device do not limit the operation form of the user, and only the initiation of group calling can be realized. The triggering form for ending the user operation is not limited, so long as the call release right can be ended.

As shown in fig. 10, pressing the initiate key, first the MCPTT client, MCPTT server pauses the group scanning process, exits the group session currently listening, and then performs the group call under the first group; the initiating key is released, and the MCPTT client and the MCPTT server restart the group scanning process, and then may enter other interested groups.

The method of exiting the group session currently being monitored can directly exit the group session currently being monitored, or can initiate an exiting session request to the MCPTT server, and exit the session after being judged and authorized by the MCPTT server. The method for exiting the group session currently being monitored is not limited to the above two modes, and is determined by a specific setting program of the client in the actual application process.

Further, fig. 11 is a schematic operation flow diagram of a group call in another inactive state provided in the embodiment of the present application on the basis of the above example, and fig. 11 is a further definition of the step of "performing a group call under a first group preset by a user" on the basis of fig. 10. When the state of the first group is in an inactive state, an initiating key is pressed, firstly, the MCPTT client and the MCPTT server pause the group scanning process, exit the group session which is currently monitored, and then the client activates the first group session, and the user can speak. The initiating key is released, and the MCPTT client and the MCPTT server restart the group scanning process, and then may enter other interested groups.

Further, fig. 12 is a schematic diagram of an operation flow of a group call in another activated state provided in the embodiment of the present application, and fig. 12 is a further definition of the step of "performing a group call in a first group preset by a user" on the basis of fig. 10. When the state of the first group is activated, the initiating key is pressed, firstly, the MCPTT client and the MCPTT server pause the group scanning process, exit the group session which is currently monitored, then the user joins the activated first group session, and can talk after robbing the speaking right. The initiating key is released, and the MCPTT client and the MCPTT server restart the group scanning process, and then may enter other interested groups.

Fig. 13 is a schematic structural diagram of a group calling device according to an embodiment of the present application. The apparatus may be implemented in software and/or hardware, for example: the device may be a client or a terminal device, where the client may be any one of the above clients, as shown in fig. 13, the group call device provided in the embodiment of the present invention may include:

an acquisition module 20, configured to acquire a user operation that occurs in the first state; a processing module 21 that performs a group call under a first group preset by a user in response to a user operation; and if the user operation is finished, returning to the first state.

The above arrangement enables the user to quickly switch to and speak into the preset first group by configuring the manner in which the MCPTT client responds to the user operation occurring in the first state to perform the group call in the preset first group.

Alternatively, the processing module 21 stops performing the group scanning process in response to a user operation; alternatively, in response to a user operation, a stop-scan request for instructing the MCPTT server to stop the group scan process with respect to the MCPTT client is transmitted to the MCPTT server.
