Detailed Description

The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.

Examples

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a multi-terminal control system for venues according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is applicable to online resource management and offline hardware control in large venues, where the venues include large-scale smart life experience venues, science and technology venues, exhibition venues, and the like.

As shown in fig. 1, the venue multi-terminal control system includes: cloud server, controlled terminal and hardware equipment.

The cloud server is also a master control end of the venue multi-terminal control system, is accessed to a wide area network through routing TCP (transmission control protocol) communication, is used for storing and managing multimedia resources, provides an entrance for controlling the controlled terminal for a first user, and sends a control instruction to the controlled terminal according to the operation of the first user. The first user is the user with the highest control authority, and can log in the cloud server to maintain the venue multi-terminal control system. Through the wide area network, as long as the cloud server opens a port to a maintenance person (namely, a first user), the maintenance person can perform remote maintenance and software upgrading on the system. Specifically, the sending of the control instruction to the controlled terminal according to the operation of the first user includes: sending configuration information to the controlled terminal to carry out terminal configuration; and/or setting an area number for the controlled terminal of each display area, and setting an access right matched with the display area where the controlled terminal is located; and/or, the multimedia resource is issued or updated to the controlled terminal.

The controlled terminal comprises at least one of a display terminal, an interactive terminal and a central control device, namely a sub-control point under the master control terminal, each sub-control point establishes a special fixed IP address with a single-point bandwidth of 4M (uplink can not be lower than 512K and downlink can not be lower than 4M in actual use) in a wide area network, so that each signal transmission from the cloud server to each controlled terminal can achieve real-time, efficient, stable and safe transmission, and the functions of device interaction, remote centralized control management and monitoring are realized. Specifically, the display terminal and the interactive terminal are the client devices in fig. 1, each client device may be a computer device with data processing capability, and each client device has a corresponding display end or interactive end, so as to form the display terminal or the interactive terminal, which is respectively used for displaying the preset content and interacting with the venue visitors. And the central control equipment is a control host and is used for controlling the hardware equipment according to the control instruction of the user. The controlled hardware equipment can be a multimedia matrix, comprises hardware equipment such as a microphone, a sound box, light, a projection screen, a power supply and the like, is connected with corresponding central control equipment, and realizes corresponding functions under the control of the central control equipment.

Further, controlling the hardware device may specifically include audio control, such as volume control, overall sound source selection and switching; video controls such as content selection control play controls (movie, PPT, streaming media, etc.); light control, such as light switch control and light and shade control; and power management, such as orderly switching on and off of a system power supply, ensures the safety of the system and equipment and avoids accidents. Illustratively, the light and sound effects in the venue can be correspondingly switched according to the venue display theme or the display content scene, so that the effect of rendering the atmosphere can be achieved. It should be noted that, in fig. 1, only the central control device, the display terminal, the interactive terminal and the hardware multimedia device are exemplarily shown, and in an actual application, a corresponding number of the central control device, the display terminal, the interactive terminal and the hardware multimedia device may be set according to an actual need.

Further, the venue multi-terminal control system further comprises:

and the local server is connected with the controlled equipment and used for providing an entrance for controlling the controlled terminal for a second user and sending a control instruction to the controlled terminal according to the operation of the second user. Wherein the first user and the second user have different control authorities.

Generally, a venue includes a plurality of display areas, and each display area is provided with one or more of a display terminal, an interactive terminal, a central control device, and a hardware device. For example, the second user may be a worker in a certain display area, and the area number of the display area is used as a system login account through a control terminal (e.g., a mobile device such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer), and the control authority of the second user is used for controlling the controlled terminal in the display area corresponding to the area number. The second user can connect the local server and the cloud server through the control terminal, obtain the multimedia resources under the corresponding authority from the server, and send a control command to the controlled terminal of the display area through the local server. The instruction sent to the display terminal or the interactive terminal is a broadcast control instruction, and the instruction sent to the central control device is a central control command.

Further, the cloud server, the local server, the display terminal, the interactive terminal, the central control device and the controlled terminal form a star network topology structure. The system can be more flexible or the equipment can be updated more flexibly, and each equipment has an independent IP address, so that the system function can be conveniently increased to meet the requirements of various functions. In addition, the cloud server side resources guarantee the stability and reusability of the resources of the whole system.

According to the technical scheme of the embodiment, the on-line resource management, the off-line hardware control and the multimedia hardware matrix control are combined into the venue multi-terminal control system, so that the problem that the existing terminal control system does not relate to the on-line resource management is solved; the off-line terminal equipment control and the on-line multimedia resource management can be integrated, the on-line and off-line unified control is realized, and the operation and maintenance management of the intelligent venue is facilitated.
