Embodiment
Please refer to Fig. 2, the speech conference system that the present invention is based on IMS comprises application server AS (Application Sever), CSCF CSCF (Call/Session Control Function), media resource function control MRFC (Media Resource Function Control) and media resource function are handled MRFP network elements such as (Media Resource Function Process), by integrated access equipment IAD (Integrated Access Device) and media gateway MG (Media Gateway) telephone terminal is inserted, data or control information are transmitted between each network element in the mode of grouping.Dotted line among the figure and solid line represent respectively the to divide into groups control access and the media access of message, thus outside PSTN terminal is passed through E1 and is connected to media gateway and inserts meeting.
In voice conferencing, AS, CSCF and MRFC manage meeting by mutual sip message.AS is responsible for predetermined conference and information management, for example, and time started, duration and convention goer etc.CSCF insert participant's control information and transmit AS and MRFC between session control message.MRFC is used to explain from AS and the next information of CSCF, thus control MRFP.Please refer to Fig. 3, is that AS, CSCF and MRFC pass through the flow process that sip message is created meeting.After meeting was set up, the convention goer just can carry out direct exchange of media with MRFP.MRFP finishes the control carrying, MRFC is provided the functions such as resource, media stream resources and Media Stream processing that control needs.
When the call voice meeting has been set up and is in the conference status, in the time of need voting, the meeting presider presses default certain key (such as the # key) expression ballot beginning on the telephone terminal, at this moment has prompt tone and informs that the meeting participant can begin ballot; The meeting participant presses the ballot (for example, agree with, oppose or waive the right) of the preset key representative oneself on the telephone terminal, and the prompt tone of MRFP transmission after this tells the voter to vote; When all voters all vote finish after, have prompt tone to show that this time ballot is finished equally, the preset key that the meeting presider presses on the telephone terminal again finishes ballot.
The input button number can produce a dtmf signal on telephone terminal, and traditional PSTN phone is different with the IP phone to this Signal Processing mode, please refer to Fig. 4.The PSTN phone can send to the media gateway of enterprise network by the PSTN network with dtmf signal, and media gateway will be packed after this dtmf signal format conversion again; IP phone this dtmf signal of then directly changing and pack.RFC2833 has defined the RTP payload format of a kind of DTMF, make the RTP grouping of DTMF separate with voice RTP, therefore whether contain dtmf signal in the RTP grouping that receiving terminal needn't adopt complicated signal processing method to detect to have mixed DTMF and voice again, only just can detect dtmf signal, thereby alleviate the detection burden of receiving terminal by scanning RTP load.
Voice conferencing is once foundation, and the RTP of each terminal and media gateway grouping directly is sent to MRFP by media access.As shown in Figure 5, DTMF detecting unit DDU is set in MRFP, supports the terminal of RFC2833 and the dtmf signal that media gateway transmits in order to detection; In MRFP, be provided with in ballot decision unit TJU, poll unit TRU and the ballot voice case TVB realization meeting and vote.
DTMF detecting unit DDU detects the RTP grouping receive, if the DTMF grouping then extracts its button number, grouping stamp settling time and PartID and send to ballot decision unit TJU, otherwise other entity that grouping sends to MRFP is dealt with.
Before carrying out voice conferencing, the button that at first being provided with in ballot decision unit TJU votes begins (for example, can be " # " key) and host PartID, the host has the authority that starts meeting. set up mapping table among this external ballot decision unit TJU, as shown in Figure 6, wherein, " * " key table shows poll closing, " 0 " key table shows abstention, " 1 " key table shows agreement, " 2 " key table shows opposition etc., the incident that shows the button representative of telephone terminal, the button that does not have in the mapping table is represented invalid button. " authority " represents which participant has the right that triggers corresponding event among the figure, and PartIDi is meeting presider's a meeting identification, and expression has only the talent of hosting that the authority that closes the polls is arranged; All represents all convention goers, and the ballot that all convention goers can represent oneself by " 0 " " 1 " or " 2 " key of telephone terminal is described. in the practical application, realize multiple function thereby can enrich mapping table as the case may be.
Fig. 7 is for ballot decision unit TJU starts the workflow of ballot, wherein " sends voting starting message to TVB " and make the TVB broadcasting speech, informs that the meeting participant can import the telephone terminal keyboard number and begin ballot.
Fig. 8 is the workflow of ballot decision unit TJU ballot operation, the ballot decision unit also comprises searches the unit, to fall the data and the mapping table that come from DTMF detecting unit DDU compares and handles, in processing procedure, when running into " button is invalid ", " authority is limited " and " poll closing " incident, send corresponding message to the voice mail TVB that votes, ballot voice mail TVB plays corresponding voice according to the message of receiving and gives the participant.In addition, ballot decision unit TJU can judge overtime: TJU deducts DTMF grouping stamp settling time that DTMF detecting unit DDU transmits with the current time, if the time difference, judges then that this DTMF grouping is overtime greater than the value of setting in advance, no longer it is done any processing.Therefore, after the ballot of voter's enter key reel number, in Preset Time, do not hear suggestion voice, should re-enter the keyboard number ballot.Effective at button, authority allows and does not have under the overtime situation, and ballot decision unit TJU number converts the button that receives to concrete ballot and PartID passes to poll unit TRU together.
The main effect of poll unit TRU is record ballot and PartID thereof, the statistics poll; In addition, send a message to ballot voice case TVB, make ballot voice case TVB inform that certain participant has voted or concrete voting results.For preventing that the voter from constantly revising ballot, also be provided with the function that prevents " second ballot " in poll unit TRU: poll unit TRU receives the ballot that ballot decision unit TJU transmits, search the PartID that whether has this ballot in the record, if existing this PartID then abandons the up-to-date ballot that receives.Therefore, the meeting participant has only first poll effective.
Ballot voice case TVB has speech data, play corresponding prompt voice according to message from ballot decision unit TJU or poll unit TRU, for example notify all participants vote beginning, what inform that certain participant presses is invalid ballot key etc., by media access voice RTP grouping is sent to IP terminal or media gateway.
Among the present invention, telephone terminal button, mapping table and the time-out time of expression ballot beginning is by the server setting of system; The statistics of ballot can derive from server.
