Communication method of distributed video conference system
Technical Field

Background
The video conference system is used as a real-time audio and video communication technology and is widely applied to a plurality of fields of enterprises, education, medical treatment and the like. The basic principle is that participants distributed in different places are synchronously connected through a network, so that the transmission and sharing of audio and video data are realized. However, in practical applications, conventional video conferencing systems face the following challenges:
1. the service providing end has large service load pressure: conventional videoconferencing systems typically employ a centralized architecture, where all participants' audio and video data streams are processed and forwarded through a service provider. As the number of participants increases, the computational resources and bandwidth requirements of the service provider increase linearly, resulting in an increasing traffic load pressure.
2. The fault impact is severe: since the core functions of the video conference system are concentrated on the service provider, once the service provider fails, the whole conference cannot be performed. In addition, the failure may cause loss of participant information, affecting communication quality.
3. The network bandwidth utilization is low: in conventional videoconferencing systems, the data streams are transmitted unidirectionally, i.e. from the sender to the receiver. This means that the network bandwidth is mainly dependent on the bandwidth of the sender, not the actual requirements of the participant. Therefore, network bandwidth utilization is low and may result in bandwidth waste.
In order to solve the problems, the invention provides a communication method of a distributed video conference system, which improves the communication efficiency and stability of the system by the technical means of separation of control flow and data flow, switching of self-adaptive network signals, multiple working modes and the like.
