Detailed Description
it should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application may be combined with each other without conflict. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments with reference to the attached drawings.
The steps illustrated in the flow charts of the drawings may be performed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions and, although a logical order is illustrated in the flow charts, in some cases, the steps illustrated or described may be performed in an order different than here.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a method for synchronously presenting display contents according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the flow chart includes the following steps:
In step S102, the multicast server receives the client display description information from one of the electronic whiteboards.
In this embodiment, the multicast server for providing information services to a large number of users may receive, through a wired connection manner or a wireless connection manner, client display description information from one of the electronic whiteboards, where the client display description information is used to describe content that has been displayed or is to be displayed on the electronic whiteboard of the client. The electronic whiteboard may itself serve as a client connected to the multicast server, or may be integrated with other hardware to collectively serve as a client connected to the multicast server.
In this embodiment, the wireless connection modes include, but are not limited to, a 3G connection, a WiFi connection, a bluetooth connection, a WiMAX connection, a Zigbee connection, a uwb (ultra wideband) connection, or other wireless connection modes developed in the future.
Step S104, the multicast server generates display description information for synchronization according to the client display description information and the server display description information stored in the multicast server.
In this embodiment, the multicast server first generates the display description information for synchronization according to the client-side display description information received from one of the electronic whiteboards and the server-side display description information stored in the multicast server, where the server-side display description information is used to describe the content of the synchronous display common to at least one of the electronic whiteboards. For example, the multicast server may analyze and synthesize the client display description information and the server display description information, so that the obtained to-be-displayed content described by the display description information for synchronization is a fusion or a covering of the to-be-displayed content described by the client display description information and the displayed content described by the server display description information.
After the generation of the display description information for synchronization, the multicast server further replaces the server-side display description information with the display description information for synchronization. Step S106, the multicast server multicasts the display description information for synchronization to the at least one electronic whiteboard.
By means of the steps, the multicast server generates the synchronous display description information according to the client display description information sent from one electronic whiteboard of the plurality of electronic whiteboards and the server display description information stored in the multicast server, and multicasts the synchronous display description information to at least one electronic whiteboard, so that the load of the electronic whiteboard sending the client display description information is effectively reduced, the problem of high load of the electronic whiteboard caused by sending a picture to be displayed to other electronic whiteboards through one electronic whiteboard in the related art is solved, and the stability of the system is improved. In addition, in the process of route configuration, because multicast information of the multicast server is adopted, each electronic whiteboard does not need to be configured with the position information of other electronic whiteboards, and the addition or deletion of the electronic whiteboards can be realized through the configuration of the multicast server, so that the configuration management of a plurality of electronic whiteboards is simplified.
Preferably, the at least one electronic whiteboard includes: all of the plurality of electronic whiteboards, or the electronic whiteboards other than the electronic whiteboard transmitting the display description information among the plurality of electronic whiteboards.
preferably, the client display description information is generated by an electronic whiteboard sending the client display description information according to the input of a user, wherein the user can input the client display description information through input equipment such as a keyboard, a mouse, a tablet and the like; preferably, the user uses a touch screen matched with the electronic whiteboard display screen for inputting.
Preferably, the user input comprises at least one of: characters and figures. The characters can be texts input by a common input method, such as Chinese characters and letters, and the graphs can be a series of tracks input by a touch screen.
Preferably, the background color of at least one of the plurality of electronic whiteboards is black, so that a user of the electronic whiteboard obtains a more realistic real classroom experience.
Preferably, after multicasting the display description information for synchronization to the at least one electronic whiteboard, the multicast server receives the display description information for synchronization and displays the content described by the display description information for synchronization.
Preferably, the user inputs are encapsulated into the client display description information at certain intervals, and are processed into the display description information for synchronization by the multicast server and then multicast to other electronic whiteboards, so that the dynamic user inputs synchronized with each other in display are presented on the other electronic whiteboards. Preferably, the certain interval is less than 100 milliseconds.
Before the at least one electronic whiteboard displays the content corresponding to the display description information for synchronization, the at least one electronic whiteboard displays a virtual desktop multicast by the multicast server, and preferably, the at least one electronic whiteboard displays the content described by the display description information for synchronization through an overlay layer, wherein the overlay layer is overlaid on an original layer of the at least one electronic whiteboard, and the original layer is used for displaying the virtual desktop multicast by the multicast server.
In the related art, the virtual desktop is generally used for displaying a teaching plan or adopting a white background, so that the online classroom does not have the sense of restitution of a classroom, and the white background easily causes visual fatigue.
The content described with the display description information for synchronization need not be permanently displayed in an overlying layer of the electronic whiteboard, in some cases, for example: and the virtual desktop switches the display page or needs to clear the content described by the current synchronous display description information on the current display page, and then can clear all or part of the content displayed on the superimposed layer through a screen clearing instruction.
In some embodiments, the screen clearing instruction is generated by one of the electronic whiteboards, for example, a screen clearing button is arranged on the electronic whiteboard, and the user generates the screen clearing instruction by clicking the screen clearing button; or, the electronic whiteboard serving as the main control device in the plurality of electronic whiteboards automatically generates a screen clearing instruction when detecting that the display page is switched by the virtual desktop. The main control device can perform authority control on other electronic whiteboards. Preferably, the multicast server receives a screen clearing instruction from one of the electronic whiteboards, and multicasts the screen clearing instruction to at least one electronic whiteboard, wherein the screen clearing instruction is used for instructing the at least one electronic whiteboard to clear the content displayed by the overlay layer.
In other embodiments, the clear instruction is generated by a multicast server, for example: the multicast server receives virtual desktop information from one electronic whiteboard of a plurality of electronic whiteboards, wherein the virtual desktop information is used for describing a virtual desktop displayed in an original layer; the multicast server judges whether the virtual desktop corresponding to the virtual desktop information is consistent with the virtual desktop currently displayed in the original layer; and multicasting a screen clearing instruction to the at least one electronic whiteboard by the multicast server under the condition that the judgment result is inconsistent, wherein the screen clearing instruction is used for indicating the at least one electronic whiteboard to clear the contents displayed by the superimposed layer.
