Description

Multi-party talk system and method based on network virtual code

A multi-party talk system and method based on network virtual code, especially for a Next Generation Network (NGN)/IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network and using a session initiation protocol (Session) Initiation Protocol (SIP) communication protocol to quickly establish systems and methods for multi-party talks.

For the method of establishing a conference room, the prior art is mostly a system using a single conference room system or a multi-party conference. The general steps of the conference are as follows: 1. The conference chairperson pre-sets the conference system; 2. The conference chairperson calls, Mail , newsletter, etc., notify the meeting members of the meeting time and the method of entering the meeting room; 3. Meeting time arrives, the chairman and the members of the meeting dial into the meeting system.

The current telephone conference room system and method, the telephone system and method of the Taiwan Patent Application (585578) multi-party conference and the Taiwan patent application (201114228) are based on the instant messaging and on-line video conferencing system and method. As mentioned above, the conference room needs to be set in advance, and all the participants are notified by themselves. When the meeting time arrives, each participant enters the conference system by himself. Therefore, if an emergency occurs and a meeting is to be held immediately, the need for an immediate meeting cannot be met.

In view of the above, the inventors have worked hard to study and experiment, and designed a system and method for providing multi-party talks based on network virtual code. The technology of the invention utilizes the SIP signal control application server of NGN/IMS, and cooperates with the multimedia server of the multi-party talks to achieve the purpose of holding an emergency meeting. The chairman only needs to preset the telephone number of the member in advance, and dials into the patent concept by one telephone. System, you can automatically call all other members to enter the meeting immediately Indoors, to achieve the purpose of holding an emergency meeting.

It can be seen that there are still many shortcomings in the above-mentioned methods of use, which is not a good design, but needs to be improved.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-party conference system and method based on network virtual code. The conference chairperson can pre-set the conference member phone number. When an emergency event needs to be immediately held, the chairperson only needs to dial the conference-specific network virtual code. An emergency meeting can be held immediately.

The multi-party talks system and method based on network virtual code for achieving the above object, the system is divided into (1) a process control unit by using a module structure, executing, controlling, managing a service flow, and integrating each sub-unit to complete a service; 2) The service setting and operation unit is responsible for providing the meeting chairperson to set up and operate the meeting through the network; (3) the data storage unit for storing information about the meeting members; and (4) the signal control unit for connecting NGN/IMS The network performs the transmission and encoding and decoding of the SIP signal; (5) the multimedia unit of the multi-party talk to provide the multi-party call function.

The method of the present invention utilizes the service setting and operation unit to accept the telephone number setting of the conference chairperson of the conference chairperson, and to increase or decrease the attendance member during the conference, and store the conference member phone number information to the data storage unit when the conference After the chairman dials the conference-specific network virtual code by the general 2G or 3G mobile phone, indoor phone, and NGN Internet phone, the SIP signal enters the signal control unit of the system of the present invention via the NGN/IMS network, and the signal control unit performs SIP signal edge decoding. After that, the conference chairperson's telephone number and the conference's network virtual code are transmitted to the process control unit. The process control unit queries the data storage unit and obtains the conference member's telephone number according to the chairman's telephone number and the conference's network virtual code. The signal control unit first introduces the conference chairman's call into the multi-party multimedia unit. Introduce the call of the chairman of the meeting into the multiparty After talking about the multimedia unit, the process control unit then calls the conference call number as the caller number through the signal control unit, and calls all the participants to enter the multimedia unit of the multi-party conference, thus achieving the purpose of immediately convening the conference; during the conference, the conference chairman The service setting and operation unit can be used to increase or decrease the conference members. When the chairman adds a conference member through the service setting and operation unit, the process control unit will immediately control the signal control unit, and use the conference room exclusive number as the caller number to increase the call. The member's phone number enters the multi-party talks multimedia unit. When the chairperson reduces the conference members through the service setting and operation unit, the process control unit will immediately control the signal control unit to disconnect the conference member from the multi-party talk multimedia unit.

In addition, when a conference member enters the conference room, if the conference member is unable to send the multimedia unit to the multi-party conference in time due to busy lines, unanswered or other factors, the conference member can directly call back the conference room exclusive caller ID. The number enters the system of the present invention. After the process control unit compares the telephone number of the conference member to the conference room, the conference member's telephone is introduced into the multi-party multimedia unit into the conference room through the signal control unit.

The system and method for providing multi-party talks based on network virtual code provided by the present invention have the following advantages when compared with other conventional technologies:

1. The present invention provides a service for providing multi-party talks based on network virtual code on an NGN/IMS network.

2. The system of the present invention allows the conference chairperson to dial a dedicated network virtual code to immediately convene an emergency meeting with relevant participants at any time and any place.

3. The chairman of the conference of the system of the present invention does not need to notify the attending members of the time and method of entering the conference room in advance.

4. The chairman of the meeting may add or reduce the members at any time during the meeting. The added meeting member system can automatically establish a connection without separately notifying the new members to dial into the meeting room.

5. The meeting member was unable to make a call at the system of the present invention for some reason. That is, when you enter the conference room, you can still call back the conference room exclusive number to enter the conference room.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a system architecture of the present invention. The present invention includes a data storage unit 50 for storing conference related member information. A service setting and operation unit 60 is responsible for providing conference chairpersons to set and operate conferences through the network. a process control unit 70 is responsible for executing, controlling, and managing the service flow, and integrating the sub-units to complete the service; a signal control unit 80 for connecting the NGN/IMS network to perform the delivery and encoding and decoding of the SIP signals; The multi-party talk multimedia unit 90 is configured to provide a multi-party call function, wherein the signal control unit 80, the multi-party talk multimedia unit 90, the conference chairperson 30, and the participating members 40 are connected by the NGN/IMS network 10, the data storage unit 50, and the service setting.
