Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a multimedia conference method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 2, the method includes:

201. the first conference terminal provides login request information of the first conference terminal for the first mobile terminal, and the login request information is used for acquiring the login permission of the first target account on the first conference terminal.

It should be noted that the conference terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention may be a voice conference terminal, or may be a video conference terminal having a video capture device and a video playing device, and based on different types of terminals, a user of the first mobile terminal may perform different types of multimedia conferences with other users in the group, for example, a voice conference or a video conference.

The first target account is an account for the first mobile terminal to log in, for example, an account for a user to log in a specified application on the first mobile terminal, where the specified application may be a social application, such as an instant messaging application.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a user initiates a multimedia conference in a first group of a first target account through a first conference terminal, where the first group may be a certain group existing in the first target account, or may be a group newly created by the user for the multimedia conference. The first conference terminal can log in the first target account, so as to achieve the purpose of initiating the multimedia conference in the first group of the first target account.

In order to quickly log in the first target account on the first conference terminal, the first conference terminal needs to provide login request information for the first mobile terminal, where the login request information carries terminal information of the first conference terminal, such as an IP (Internet Protocol) address, an MAC (Media Access Control) address, and a device identifier of the first conference terminal. The first conference terminal may provide the first mobile terminal with the login request information in two ways:

the first mode is as follows: the first conference terminal displays a graphic identification code on a screen of the first conference terminal, and the graphic identification code carries login request information of the first conference terminal, so that the first mobile terminal obtains the login request information of the first conference terminal by scanning the graphic identification code.

The graphic identification code may be obtained from the first conference terminal to the application server, and the obtaining process may include: when the triggering operation of the appointed key is detected, the first conference terminal sends a graphic identification code generation request to the application server, the graphic identification code generation request carries login request information of the first conference terminal, the application server generates and returns a graphic identification code of the first conference terminal according to the login request information, and the appointed key is used for initiating the multimedia conference. The designated key may be a virtual key provided on a self-contained screen of the first conference terminal, or may be a hardware key on the first conference terminal, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

The second mode is as follows: the first conference terminal sends a broadcast signal through a Bluetooth function, and the broadcast signal carries login request information of the first conference terminal, so that the first mobile terminal can obtain the login request information of the first conference terminal by receiving the broadcast signal.

202. The first mobile terminal acquires login request information of the first conference terminal in a display process of a first group interface of the first target account.

In the embodiment of the invention, the first mobile terminal establishes communication connection with the first conference terminal in the display process of the first group interface, and acquires the login request message of the first conference terminal in the process of establishing the communication connection. Wherein the first group interface may be a group chat interface as shown in fig. 3.

For two ways that the first conference terminal provides the first mobile terminal with the login request information in step 201, the first mobile terminal may establish a communication connection with the first conference terminal in the following two corresponding ways, and obtain the login request information of the first conference terminal:

in the first manner in step 201, the first mobile terminal may scan the graphic identification code provided by the first conference terminal to obtain the login request information of the first conference terminal.

The user can initiate a scanning instruction on the first mobile terminal through manual operation (such as selecting a scanning option) to trigger the first mobile terminal to scan the graphic identification code displayed on the screen of the first conference terminal, and when the first mobile terminal receives the scanning instruction, the graphic identification code is scanned through the camera, a communication connection is established with the first conference terminal, and login request information carried by the graphic identification code is obtained.

With respect to the second manner in step 201, the first mobile terminal may receive the broadcast signal of the first conference terminal through the bluetooth function when detecting the electromagnetic field signal of the first conference terminal, and extract the login request information of the first conference terminal from the broadcast signal.

For example, the first conference terminal is a voice conference terminal, and a functional structure of the first conference terminal may be as shown in fig. 4. This first meeting terminal is an intelligent equipment based on ARM (Advanced RISC (Reduced Instruction set computer), Machines, and Advanced Reduced Instruction set computer equipment) -Android (Android), and it designs MIC (Microphone) array, still disposes wiFi module, bluetooth, button, lamp area, loudspeaker (speaker) and electromagnetic field generator. The MIC array is used for multi-user multidirectional sound pickup, and algorithms such as noise elimination and echo elimination are applied to ensure the voice communication quality; the WiFi module is used for connecting WiFi and connecting the application server through the WiFi; the Bluetooth is used for realizing Bluetooth communication; the keys are used for facilitating the operation of a user; the lamp strip is used for indicating the working state of the first conference terminal; the loudspeaker is used for playing voice; the electromagnetic field generator is used for generating an electromagnetic field signal to realize the triggering function provided by the embodiment of the invention, which may be referred to as a paste-on-paste triggering function, where the paste-on-paste triggering function is to trigger a certain device to perform a certain function action when the device is close to the electromagnetic field generator of the first conference terminal in a short distance.

For example, a user may bring a first mobile terminal close to an electromagnetic field generator of the first conference terminal, and after the first mobile terminal detects an electromagnetic field signal of the first conference terminal, the first mobile terminal may confirm that the first conference terminal exists nearby, and then start bluetooth communication, that is, detect a surrounding broadcast signal through a bluetooth function, and when the first mobile terminal detects the broadcast signal of the first conference terminal, establish a communication connection with the first conference terminal, and extract login request information of the first conference terminal from the broadcast signal.

The method for acquiring the login request information by pasting the one-to-one trigger is convenient and quick, does not need manual operation of a user on the first mobile terminal or the first conference terminal, and is high in efficiency.

203. And the first mobile terminal sends a login permission message to the application server based on the login request information, wherein the login permission message is used for indicating that the first target account is allowed to be logged in the first conference terminal.

The login permission message may carry login request information of the first conference terminal and the first target account. In order to enable the first conference terminal to successfully log in the first target account, after the first mobile terminal acquires the login request message of the first conference terminal, the first mobile terminal may send the login permission message to the server, and the application server issues the right to log in the first target account to the first conference terminal.

204. And when the application server receives the login permission message sent by the first mobile terminal, sending a login permission response to the first conference terminal, so that the first conference terminal logs in the first target account.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the application server can know that the first mobile terminal has allowed the first conference terminal to log in the first target account through the login permission message, and at this time, the application server can send a login permission response to the first conference terminal, that is, issue the right of the first conference terminal to log in the first target account.

205. And when the login permission response of the application server is received, the first conference terminal logs in the first target account.

In the embodiment of the invention, the first conference terminal can successfully log in the first target account after receiving the login permission response, namely the authority of logging in the first target account, which is issued by the application server. After the first conference terminal logs in the first target account, a message can be sent in any group of the first target account.

206. And the first mobile terminal sends a conference initiating request to the first conference terminal, wherein the conference initiating request carries the group identification of the first group, so that the first conference terminal carries out the multimedia conference in the first group after logging in the first target account.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first mobile terminal may send the group identifier of the first group to the first conference terminal in a manner of initiating a conference request after the first conference terminal successfully logs in the first target account. I.e. the first mobile terminal performs step 206 after performing step 205.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the group identifier of the first group may be further sent to the first conference terminal by the first mobile terminal after establishing a communication connection with the first conference terminal. For example, the first mobile terminal may send the group identifier of the first group to the first conference terminal in a conference initiation request manner or other request and message manner while performing step 203. I.e. the first mobile terminal performs step 203 and step 206 simultaneously.

The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the sending time and the sending form of the group identifier of the first group.

207. And when the first conference terminal receives the conference initiating request of the first mobile terminal, sending the conference initiating request to an application server, and establishing a conference by the application server based on the first group.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the group identifier of the first group carried by the conference initiation request, the first conference terminal may send the group identifier of the first group to the application server, and the application server determines the first group according to the group identifier of the first group and creates the multimedia conference in the first group. Wherein, the group identifier of the first group can be carried by the conference initiation request.

208. And when the application server receives a conference initiation request of the first conference terminal, a multimedia conference is created in the first group based on the group identification of the first group.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the application server may determine the first group according to the group identifier of the first group carried in the conference initiation request, and further provide a conference entrance for joining the multimedia conference for the group members in the first group, so that the group members in the first group can join the multimedia conference through the conference entrance, thereby completing creation of the multimedia conference. The conference portal may be in the form of a conference notification, for which the application server needs to generate the conference notification for the first group and perform the following step 209.

209. And the application server sends a conference notification to the first group, so that the group members in the first group carry out the multimedia conference based on the conference notification.

The group members in the first group include an initiator (such as a user of the first mobile terminal or a user of the first target account) and participants (other group members except the initiator) of the multimedia conference.

After generating the conference notification in step 208, the application server may send the conference notification to the first group, so that group members in the first group join the multimedia conference through the conference notification.

210. The first mobile terminal receives a conference notice of the first group, wherein the conference notice is used for prompting that the multimedia conference is successfully initiated, and the conference notice is displayed on the first group interface.

Wherein the meeting notification may be displayed as a session message on the first group interface, as shown in fig. 5. Before the first mobile terminal receives the meeting notification, the first group interface is a group chat interface as shown in fig. 3. When the meeting notification is received, as shown in fig. 5, a session message corresponding to the initiator, that is, the meeting notification of the first group, is displayed on the group chat interface of the first group.

In the embodiment of the invention, the conference notification is used for prompting the initiator to successfully initiate the multimedia conference and also can provide a function of quitting the multimedia conference for the initiator. When the first mobile terminal detects the trigger operation of the conference notification, a multimedia conference exit interface shown in fig. 6 may be displayed, where the avatar represents the first target account, and the "close the first conference terminal" represents to release the right of the first conference terminal to log in the first target account, that is, the first target account exits the multimedia conference. For example, the participant may trigger "close the first conference terminal" to exit the multimedia conference.

In order to make the user know that the multimedia conference is currently in progress, the first mobile terminal may display a conference status bar during the progress of the multimedia conference. The display of the meeting status bar comprises the following two modes:

in a first mode, a conference status bar for a multimedia conference is displayed in a designated area of a first group interface.

For example, the designated area may be an area above the first group interface chat area, which does not affect the normal chat of the user in the first group and allows the user to quickly know the ongoing status of the multimedia conference.

In the second mode, a conference status bar of the multimedia conference is displayed in a designated area of the group list interface.

The group list interface may be a group session list interface, and the designated area may be an area above a group corresponding to the multimedia conference on the group list interface, as shown in fig. 7, a conference status bar is displayed in an area above a first group display position, where the conference status bar indicates that the user is performing the multimedia conference in the first group.

In addition, the conference status bar may also provide a function of exiting the multimedia conference or a function of displaying conference condition information, where the function may be implemented by a user through a trigger operation on the conference status bar, and specifically includes:

aiming at the function of quitting the multimedia conference, when the triggering operation of the conference status bar is detected, the first mobile terminal can display a conference quitting option; when the triggering operation of the exit conference option is detected, the first mobile terminal may send an exit conference request to the application server, and the application server controls the first conference terminal to exit the multimedia conference.

In addition to the aforementioned conference notification function, the conference status bar may also provide a function of exiting the multimedia conference, so that the user may freely select any one of the ways to quickly exit the multimedia conference.

For the function of displaying the conference condition information, when the trigger operation on the conference status bar is detected, the first mobile terminal may display the conference condition information, where the conference condition information includes at least one of a participant condition and a conference duration.

The participant situation may include, among other things, the participant member identification and the number of participant members. The initiator can know how many group members participate in the multimedia conference according to the number of the participating members; determining which group members participate in the multimedia conference through the participating member identifiers; and knowing how long the multimedia conference has been carried out until the current moment through the conference duration.

Of course, the two situations may also exist at the same time, that is, the conference status bar may provide the function of exiting the multimedia conference and the function of displaying the conference situation information at the same time, and when the trigger operation on the conference status bar is detected, the first mobile terminal may display the option of exiting the conference and the conference situation information. And the user can decide whether to trigger the conference exit option according to the conference condition information, so as to exit the multimedia conference.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if receiving the conference notification in the second group, the first mobile terminal may display the unread message prompt identifier at a position on the group list interface corresponding to the second group. The group list interface may be a group session list interface, and the unread message prompt identifier may be a red dot with numbers, as shown in fig. 8.

The initiator can know that the second group sends a conference notification inviting the initiator to join the multimedia conference to the initiator according to the unread message prompt identifier of the second group while the initiator carries out the multimedia conference in the first group, and can join the multimedia conference of the second group through the conference notification of the second group after the multimedia conference of the first group is finished, so that the initiator is ensured not to miss other possibly more important multimedia conferences because of the current multimedia conference.

211. When the conference creation is successful, the first conference terminal performs a multimedia conference in the first group.

Taking the multimedia conference as a voice conference as an example, when the conference is successfully created, the performing of the multimedia conference in the first group by the first conference terminal may include: the first conference terminal sends the collected first voice signal to the application server, and the application server sends the first voice signal to the first group; and receiving and playing the second voice signal sent by the application server. In the actual process of the multimedia conference, the collection of the first voice signal and the receiving and playing of the second voice signal can be performed interactively, and the application server is responsible for interactive transmission of the voice signals.

Taking the multimedia conference as a video conference as an example, when the conference is successfully created, the performing of the multimedia conference in the first group by the first conference terminal may include: the first conference terminal sends the collected first video signal to the application server, and the application server sends the first video signal to the first group; and receiving and playing the second video signal sent by the application server. In the actual process of the multimedia conference, the application server is responsible for interactive transmission of video signals.

212. And when the second mobile terminal receives the meeting notice of the first group, displaying the meeting notice on the first group interface.

The second mobile terminal is a mobile terminal where other group members except the initiator in the first group are located. If the second mobile terminal receives the meeting notification during the displaying process of the first group interface, the displaying of the meeting notification by the second mobile terminal is the same as the displaying of the meeting notification by the first mobile terminal in step 210.

If the second mobile terminal receives the meeting notification during the displaying process of the group list interface, the second mobile terminal displays the unread message prompt identifier at the position of the group list interface corresponding to the first group, and when the triggering operation of the unread message prompt identifier is detected, displays the first group interface and displays the meeting notification on the first group interface, in a manner similar to the display of the unread message prompt identifier in step 210.

In this case, if the second mobile terminal receives conference notifications of multiple groups, the multiple groups may be sorted according to a preset rule on the group list interface, and the unread message prompt identifiers may be displayed at positions corresponding to the multiple groups, as shown in fig. 9. And when the triggering operation of the unread message prompt identifier at the position corresponding to the first group is detected, displaying a first group interface, and displaying the conference notice on the first group interface.

Wherein, the preset rule can be: the conference notification comprises @ a priority greater than the conference notification alone, i.e. the group of the user will be ranked in front of the group that only sent the conference notification when the second mobile terminal is displaying the group with the conference notification. For example, if the originator of the first group @ the user of the second mobile terminal in the first group after initiating the multimedia conference, the second mobile terminal would display the first group in front of the second group on the group list interface, as shown in fig. 9.

213. And when the triggering operation of the conference notification is detected, the second mobile terminal carries out the multimedia conference based on the first group.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after the second mobile terminal receives and displays the conference notification of the first group, a user (participant) may perform a trigger operation on the conference notification. When the trigger operation for the conference notification is detected, the second mobile terminal may display an access device selection interface, which may include two options, that is, "the second conference terminal is used as an access device" and "the second mobile terminal is used as an access device", as shown in fig. 10. The second mobile terminal can perform a multimedia conference according to the selection operation of the user, and the specific process comprises the following steps:

and if the user selects a second conference terminal as the access equipment in the access equipment selection interface, allowing a second target account to be logged in the second conference terminal, and performing the multimedia conference in the first group through the second conference terminal, wherein the second target account is the account logged in by the second mobile terminal. If the user selects the second mobile terminal as the access equipment in the access equipment selection interface, the multimedia conference is carried out in the first group through the second mobile terminal;

for the first case, the second target account is an account for a user (participant) to log in a specified application on the second mobile terminal. If the user selects the second conference terminal as the access device to perform the multimedia conference in the access device selection interface, the second mobile terminal may display an operation guidance interface shown in fig. 11, which is used for guiding the user to perform corresponding operations on the second mobile terminal, so that the multimedia conference is performed in the first group of the second target account after the second conference terminal is authorized to log in the second target account. The process of the second conference terminal logging in the second target account is similar to the process of the first conference terminal logging in the first target account in steps 201 to 205, and the process of the second conference terminal performing the multimedia conference in the first group is similar to the process of the first conference terminal performing the multimedia conference in the first group in step 211, which is not described herein again.

For example, the participant may not switch the first group interface on the second mobile terminal, so that the first group interface is always in a display state, and then select the second conference terminal by using the second mobile terminal to paste a function, so that the second conference terminal may be used to join the multimedia conference, and the second conference terminal is used to communicate the voice signal or the video signal, without affecting the use of the second mobile terminal.

For the second case, if the user selects the second mobile terminal as the access device to perform the multimedia conference in the access device selection interface, the second mobile terminal displays the multimedia conference interface and displays the avatar layout of the participating members on the multimedia conference interface according to the change of the number of the participating members.

For example, the second mobile terminal may display a multimedia conference interface as shown in fig. 12, in which 3 avatars represent 3 participating members of the current multimedia conference, and the layout of the 3 avatars may vary with the number of participating members, for example, when the number of participating members is 5, the avatar layout may be as shown in fig. 13. Of course, when a voice conference is performed, the avatar of the user performing the conference may be displayed, and when a video conference is performed, the video window of the user performing the conference may be displayed.

Similarly to step 211, taking the multimedia conference as a voice conference as an example, the performing of the multimedia conference in the first group by the second mobile terminal may include: the second mobile terminal sends the collected second voice signal to an application server, and the application server sends the voice signal to the first group; the second mobile terminal can also receive and play the first voice signal sent by the application server.

In the embodiment of the invention, the participants can carry out the multimedia conference through the mobile terminal and also can carry out the multimedia conference through the conference terminal, thereby enriching the form of the multimedia conference and improving the operation efficiency. And even if the multimedia conference is accidentally disconnected in the process, the multimedia conference can be accessed again by triggering the conference notification again, and the operation is simple.

Similarly to step 210, in order to make the participants know the progress of the conference, during the multimedia conference, the second mobile terminal may display the conference status bar of the multimedia conference in the two ways described in step 210.

Similarly to step 210, the participant may perform a trigger operation on the conference status bar displayed in the above two manners, and the response of the second mobile terminal to the trigger operation may have two situations described in step 210.

It should be noted that steps 210 to 211 to 212 and 213 are parallel steps, and describe the progress of the multimedia conference from the perspective of the participant and the initiator, respectively.

Another point to be noted is that, for the participants of the multimedia conference, based on the current actual situation of the participants, it can be selected whether to conduct the conference in the current conference form on the side of the participants, if the multimedia conference initiated by the first mobile terminal is a video conference, and for the second mobile terminal, it is desired to conduct only a voice conference due to various reasons, such as bandwidth reasons or equipment limitations, or the application server can conduct the multimedia conference according to the conference form selected by different participants. Several implementations are illustrated below:

in the first implementation manner, the second conference terminal selected by the second mobile terminal does not have a video conference function, but only has a voice conference function.

When a user of the second mobile terminal selects to use the second conference terminal to join the video conference, the second conference terminal sends a conference joining request to the application server, where the conference joining request carries terminal information of the second conference terminal, and the terminal information may include address information used for data transmission and reception, such as an IP address of the second conference terminal, and may also include information used for indicating a conference function supported by the second conference terminal, such as model information or performance information of the conference terminal. The application server can determine the conference function supported by the second conference terminal according to the terminal information of the second conference terminal, and if the second conference terminal is determined to have the video conference function, the application server forwards the video signal based on the received video signals of other participant terminals after the second conference terminal is added into the video conference, so that the second conference terminal can play the video after receiving the video signal, and the video conference is realized. And if the second conference terminal is determined not to have the video conference function but only has the voice conference function, after the second conference terminal is added into the video conference, if the video signal of any participant terminal is received, the voice signal is extracted from the video signal and sent to the second conference terminal, so that the second conference terminal carries out the video conference in a voice mode, the requirements on conference hardware are greatly reduced, and the application range of the multimedia conference is expanded.

In the second implementation manner, the second conference terminal selected by the second mobile terminal does not start the video conference function, but starts the voice conference function.

The second conference terminal may also be capable of video conferencing and voice conferencing, but may join the video conference in the voice conferencing based on the user's selection. In this process, the user may make a function selection on the second conference terminal or through the second mobile terminal. For example, the second conference terminal may have a video conference option and a voice conference option, and when the user determines to select the second conference terminal for a conference through the second mobile terminal, the second conference terminal may not immediately send a conference join request to the application server, but the user selects one conference option from the video conference option and the voice conference option, and sends the conference join request based on a function corresponding to the selected option. If the user selects the video conference option, the video conference identifier can be carried in the conference joining request, so that the application server can join the second conference terminal into the video conference according to the video conference identifier carried by the application server when receiving the conference joining request, and forward the video conference according to the received video signals of other participant terminals after the application server successfully joins, so that the second conference terminal can play videos after receiving the video signals, and the video conference is realized. If the user selects the voice conference option, the voice conference identifier can be carried in the conference joining request, so that the application server can join the second conference terminal into the video conference according to the voice conference identifier carried by the application server when receiving the conference joining request, and after the application server successfully joins, if the video signal of any participant terminal is received, the voice signal is extracted from the video signal and sent to the second conference terminal, so that the second conference terminal can carry out the video conference in a voice mode, and the flexibility of the multimedia conference is greatly improved.

And in the third implementation mode, when the second mobile terminal joins the multimedia conference, the voice conference function is selected.

The first implementation manner and the second implementation manner are both described by taking an example that the second mobile terminal selects the second conference terminal to perform the multimedia conference, that is, in the interface of fig. 10, the second mobile terminal user selects "use the second conference terminal as the access device". In an actual scenario, the user of the second mobile terminal may also choose to use the second mobile terminal for the multimedia conference. That is, in the interface of fig. 10, the second mobile terminal user selects "use the second mobile terminal as an access device", in this scenario, the second mobile terminal may further display a video conference option and a voice conference option after the user selects to use the second mobile terminal for the multimedia conference, so that the user of the second mobile terminal can select a conference format that the user currently wants to adopt, and send a conference join request based on a function corresponding to the selected option. If the user selects the video conference option on the second mobile terminal, the video conference identifier can be carried in the conference joining request, so that the application server can join the second mobile terminal into the video conference according to the carried video conference identifier when receiving the conference joining request, and after the application server successfully joins the conference joining request, the application server can forward the video conference based on the received video signals of other participating terminals, so that the second mobile terminal can play videos after receiving the video signals, and the video conference is realized. If the user selects the voice conference option, the voice conference identifier can be carried in the conference joining request, so that the application server can join the second mobile terminal into the video conference according to the voice conference identifier carried by the application server when receiving the conference joining request, and after the application server successfully joins, if the video signal of any participant terminal is received, the voice signal is extracted from the video signal and sent to the second mobile terminal, so that the second mobile terminal can carry out the video conference in a voice mode, and the flexibility of the multimedia conference is greatly improved.

214. And when the number of the participating members of the multimedia conference is less than 2, the application server closes the multimedia conference in the first group.

The inventor realizes that, due to limited service resources of the application server, if a plurality of groups are simultaneously engaged in a multimedia conference, the application server is difficult to maintain good operation of the plurality of multimedia conferences, and therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, in order to save resources and reduce the load of the application server, for each multimedia conference, the application server may set a minimum value of the number of participating members, for example, the minimum value is 2, and when the number of participating members of the multimedia conference is less than 2, the application server may actively close the multimedia conference.

Wherein the closing the multimedia conference comprises: the meeting notification is changed to an expiration notification. As can be seen from the foregoing description, the conference notification may be a conference portal of the multimedia conference as a group member in the first group, and the group member in the first group may join the multimedia conference by a triggering operation on the conference notification. After the conference notification is changed into the failure notification, the group members in the first group can not join the multimedia conference through the triggering operation of the conference notification, and further the multimedia conference can not be carried out in the first group again.

In the embodiment of the invention, as long as the number of the participating members of the multimedia conference is kept to be more than 1, anyone quits or joins the multimedia conference in the process of the multimedia conference has no influence on the multimedia conference. If the participating members continuously quit the multimedia conference, the multimedia conference is automatically closed when only 1 participating member exists.

According to the method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the first conference terminal is allowed to log in the first target account, so that the first conference terminal carries out the multimedia conference in the first group after logging in the first target account, the first conference terminal sends the conference initiation request to the application server, and the application server sends the conference notification to the first group, so that the group members in the first group carry out the multimedia conference based on the conference notification, the multimedia conference does not need to be registered, the complicated conference information does not need to be sent, the operation is simple, and the operation efficiency is high.

In addition, the participant can access the multimedia conference by triggering the received conference notification without executing a series of steps, and even if the conference is accidentally disconnected in the process of the multimedia conference, the participant can access the multimedia conference again by triggering the conference notification again, so that the operation is simple and the operation efficiency is high.
