Detailed Description

To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments disclosed herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

The embodiment of the disclosure is applied to a scene of starting a conference by using a conference system. For ease of explanation, reference may be made first to fig. 1 and 2, where fig. 1 and 2 are schematic diagrams of a conferencing system provided by an embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the conference system 100 may include: a conference device 110, a management device 120, and a server 130. The conference device 110 is configured to obtain and output authentication information of the conference device 110, the management device 120 is configured to authenticate the conference device 110 according to the authentication information, and the server 130 is configured to generate the authentication information or auxiliary information of the authentication information and send the authentication information or auxiliary information of the authentication information to the conference device 110. The following detailed description is specific to specific implementations of each device.

It should be noted that the management device 120 has a conference management authority, and the conference management authority may be configured by the general administrator in Admin management background.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the number of the servers 130 may be one, and the conference device 110 and the device of the management device 120 may be plural.

In a particular embodiment, the conference devices 110 and the management devices 120 may have a one-to-one correspondence, and the number of the conference devices and the management devices may be equal. As shown in fig. 1, an enterprise has three office locations, a location a, a location B and a location C, wherein each office location is provided with a conference device 110 and a management device 120, and each management device 120 can be used to authenticate a local conference device 110. Each conference device 110 may perform data interaction with the server 130 to obtain authentication information, and the implementation manner is described in detail later.

In yet another embodiment, a plurality of conference devices 110 may correspond to one management device 120. In the conference system 100 shown in fig. 2, three office locations a, B, and C are also involved, in which case a is provided with one conference device 110 and one management device 120, and B and C are each provided with one conference device 110 and share one management device 120. For example, the B and C places may be two conference rooms in one office location, and only one management device may be provided at the office location to manage a plurality of conference devices.

In the conference system 100, the conference device 110 may be a terminal device. In a specific implementation scenario, the device may specifically be an audio device, a video device, or an audio/video device (a device capable of outputting audio and video), or may also be a management device that controls audio and/or video output. The conference device 110 may be one device or a combination of a plurality of devices. In an exemplary embodiment, the conference device 110 may be an audio/video system composed of a computer, a sound box, a speaker, and a projector; alternatively, in another exemplary embodiment, the conference device 110 may be a computer in an audio-video system composed of a computer, a speaker, a loudspeaker, and a projector, and the computer can be used to manage the on or off of other devices.

The management device 120 may also be a terminal device. Furthermore, the management device 110 may also be a portable terminal device, which facilitates portable management by the administrator and is beneficial to simplify the organization architecture of the conference system 100, for example, the whole conference system may use one portable management device 110 for management authorization.

In a particular embodiment, the conference device 110 and the administrative bar 120 are not the same terminal device.

Specifically, the terminal device according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may be a wireless terminal or a wired terminal. A wireless terminal may refer to a device that provides voice and/or other traffic data connectivity to a user, a handheld device having wireless connection capability, or other processing device connected to a wireless modem. A wireless terminal, which may be a mobile terminal such as a mobile telephone (or "cellular" telephone) and a computer having a mobile terminal, for example, a portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-included, or vehicle-mounted mobile device, may communicate with one or more core Network devices via a Radio Access Network (RAN), and may exchange language and/or data with the RAN. For another example, the Wireless terminal may also be a Personal Communication Service (PCS) phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and other devices. A wireless Terminal may also be referred to as a system, a Subscriber Unit (Subscriber Unit), a Subscriber Station (Subscriber Station), a Mobile Station (Mobile), a Remote Station (Remote Station), a Remote Terminal (Remote Terminal), an Access Terminal (Access Terminal), a User Terminal (User Terminal), a User Agent (User Agent), and a User Device or User Equipment (User Equipment), which are not limited herein. Optionally, the terminal device may also be a smart watch, a tablet computer, or the like.

And the server 130 in the conferencing system 100 may be of any type, such as a base station. For example, the server 130 may be a Base Station (BTS) and/or a Base Station Controller in GSM or CDMA, a Base Station (NodeB, NB) and/or a Radio Network Controller (RNC) in WCDMA, an evolved Node B (eNB or eNodeB) in LTE, or a relay Station or an access point, or a Base Station (gNB) in a future 5G Network, and the invention is not limited herein.

The communication method between the server 130 and the conference device 110 is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and specifically, the communication between the server 130 and the conference device 110 may be applicable to different network formats, for example, may be applicable to network formats such as global system for Mobile communication (GSM), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA), Long Term Evolution (LTE), and future 5G.

In the foregoing conference system, a "conference room" may also be established, and each conference room corresponds to one conference scene. When a conference is started, a plurality of conference devices 110 may access a target conference room, and perform audio-video interaction in the target conference room, thereby implementing a teleconference.

Thus, for any one conference device 110, a process of initiating a conference, that is, a process of accessing the conference device 110 into a target conference room, is started. This will be described by taking as an example a scenario in which one conference device 110 accesses a target conference room.

The conference management method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may be triggered when the conference device 110 is started; or may be triggered in response to a user's command to initiate a conference after conference device 110 has been initiated.

For example, referring to the data interaction diagram shown in fig. 3, as shown in fig. 3, the conference management method may include the following steps:

s302, the conference device receives the first encryption information sent by the server.

As described above, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the server may be configured to directly generate the authentication information, or may be configured to generate auxiliary information of the authentication information, where the auxiliary information is used to assist the conference device in generating the authentication information. Therefore, the specific information carried in the first encryption information may be authentication information or auxiliary information generated by the server.

And data interaction is carried out between the conference equipment and the server through the encrypted information. This can improve the security of the transmitted information to some extent, and can also improve the information security of the conference system to some extent.

In an exemplary embodiment, a provisioning key may be maintained between the conferencing device and the server. In this way, the server encrypts the information using the agreed-upon key, and the conference device decrypts the information using the agreed-upon key to obtain the content in the encrypted information.

In another exemplary embodiment, data transmission may be implemented by an asymmetric encryption algorithm, that is, by using a public key (abbreviated as "public key" for short) and a private key (abbreviated as "private key" for short) in pair. For example, the server may encrypt the information using the public key of the conference device, and the conference device decrypts the information using its own private key to obtain the content in the encrypted information.

In another exemplary embodiment, the server and the conference device may perform information interaction as processing nodes on the blockchain by using a blockchain broadcast manner. At this time, the two are encrypted and decrypted by adopting an encryption algorithm on the block chain.

In an actual scene, the encryption information between the server and the conference device can be realized by adopting any encryption mode. The foregoing embodiments are merely possible implementations of the present disclosure and are not exhaustive.

S304, the conference equipment acquires the authentication information of the conference equipment by using the first encryption information.

As described above, after receiving the first encrypted information sent by the conference device, the conference device decrypts the first encrypted information to obtain the information content in the first encrypted information. At this time, based on the difference of the information content, the conference device has different ways of acquiring the self-authentication information, and the following detailed description is given.

S306, the conference device outputs the authentication information.

In particular, the purpose of this step is to communicate authentication information to the management device. Therefore, in an actual implementation scenario, the output mode may include, but is not limited to: displaying the authentication information; and/or sending the authentication information to the management device.

In an exemplary embodiment, the authentication information may be a two-dimensional code. At this time, the conference device may display the two-dimensional code on a display screen to realize output of the authentication information.

In another exemplary embodiment, the conference device may further send the authentication information to the management device through wired or wireless communication. It can be understood that, if a data line exists between the conference device and the management device, the conference device and the management device may communicate in a wired manner or in a wireless manner. On the contrary, if there is no data line between the conference device and the management device, the communication can be performed in a wireless manner.

The wireless communication method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may include, but is not limited to: wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) technology, bluetooth communication, radio communication, Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, etc.

S308, the management equipment acquires the authentication information output by the conference equipment.

Based on the difference of the output modes of the conference devices, the modes of the management device for acquiring the authentication information are also different.

For example, if the conference device displays the two-dimensional code, the management device may obtain the authentication information by scanning the two-dimensional code. Or, if the conference device sends the authentication information in a wired or wireless manner, the management device may receive the authentication information.

And S310, the management equipment authenticates the conference equipment by using the authentication information.

The management device may be operated by an administrator, and thus, whether the management device authenticates the conference device may also be confirmed manually by the administrator. Therefore, the flexibility of the conference system authentication process is improved through artificial participation management. Compared with the mode of authentication by using the account password or license in the prior art, the problem of information leakage caused by account theft and the like can be solved by manual authentication, and the security of the conference system is improved.

Compared with the mode that the user needs to input the account password or license to perform authentication in the prior art, the scheme does not need to be processed by the user, only needs to perform authentication by a manager, does not need to input at least one combined password of a long string of numbers, letters and symbols, can realize authentication, omits the complex operation of inputting a long string of characters by the user, is beneficial to improving the authentication efficiency, and has better user experience.

And S312, when the authentication is passed, the management equipment establishes a binding relationship between the conference equipment and the target conference room.

In particular, an association between a room identification of the target conference room (i.e., the target room identification) and the conference device is established to enable the conference device to access the target conference room.

And S314, the conference equipment accesses the target conference room.

At any one time, the conference device may access a conference room. In specific implementation, the conference device can access the currently bound target conference room according to the binding processing of the management device.

It should be noted that, in any conference process, it often refers to a situation where two or more conference devices access the same target conference room. At this time, after one of the conference devices accesses the target conference room, the other conference devices may directly access the target conference room.

In an exemplary scenario, the authentication acquisition request sent by the conference device may carry device identifiers of all conference devices participating in the conference.

In another exemplary scenario, any conference device, or a conference device that first accesses a target conference room, may invite other conference devices to access the target conference room after accessing the target conference room. For example, an access link may be created for accessing the target conference room; for another example, the device identification of the other conference device may be double-clicked (or otherwise manipulated, e.g., clicked on the invite virtual button) in a list of conference devices presented in the target conference room to invite the other conference device to access the target conference room.

In summary, in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, when the conference is specifically started, the conference device may obtain the authentication information of itself according to the encrypted information sent by the server, which is beneficial to improving information security; in addition, in the embodiment, after the conference device outputs the authentication information, the management device performs authentication accordingly, and the management device can be managed by a designated administrator, so that authentication in the modes of account number password, license and the like is not required, and information security risk caused by leakage of the account number password is avoided. In summary, according to the technical scheme provided by this embodiment, the conference device obtains the authentication information based on the processing of the server, so that the security of the authentication information is increased, the authentication management of the conference device is realized through the management device maintained by the administrator, the security risk caused by the leakage of the account password is avoided, and the security of the conference system is effectively improved by combining the two devices.

A detailed description of a specific embodiment of the present disclosure will now be given based on the embodiment shown in fig. 3.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the authentication information is associated with the device identifier of the conference device, the device type of the conference device, and the first room identifier of the candidate conference room.

In a possible embodiment, the information of the device identifier, the device type, and the first room identifier of the conference device may be stored in the server, and in this case, the server may directly generate the authentication information of the conference device according to the information, encrypt the authentication information to form first encrypted information, and send the first encrypted information to the conference device.

In this embodiment, the candidate conference room may be distributed by the server, and the conference device may further send an authentication acquisition request to the server to request the server to issue authentication information before the server generates the first encryption information.

For example, in a possible scenario, when the conference device is started, an authentication acquisition request is sent to the server; and when the server receives the authentication acquisition request, the server can acquire the equipment identifier and the equipment type of the conference equipment and allocate a candidate conference room for the equipment identifier and the equipment type, thereby generating authentication information. In this scenario, the conference device is started to trigger execution of the scheme, and the authentication acquisition request sent by the conference device to the server may be embodied as carrying a start notification.

For another example, in another possible scenario, a start notification may be sent to the server when the conference device starts up. At this time, the server generates no authentication information for the moment. When the user operation collected by the conference device indicates to start the conference, for example, when the user clicks a conference button, the conference device sends an authentication acquisition request to the server, and at this time, the server may generate authentication information based on the authentication acquisition request.

As described above, each conference room may correspond to a room identifier, and in the foregoing embodiment, the server may record the binding condition of each room identifier, so that when a conference room is allocated to the conference device, one room identifier in an unbound state may be selected as the first room identifier.

In this embodiment, after any conference device accesses the target conference room, the binding state of the conference device itself may be sent to the server, so that the server maintains the binding condition of each room identifier, and thus each conference device in the following is allocated with a conference room.

In another possible embodiment, the message of the conference device type and the first room identification may be stored locally at the conference device. At this time, the first encryption information sent by the server may be auxiliary information of the authentication information, and the authentication information may be locally generated by the conference device based on the first encryption information.

In an exemplary embodiment, referring to fig. 4, as shown in fig. 4, the conference management method may include the following steps:

s3002, the conference device starts up and sends a start-up notification to the server.

S3004, the server generates first encryption information.

At this time, the information content carried in the first encrypted information may be: and generating a first two-dimensional code according to the equipment identification of the conference equipment.

S3006, the conference device decrypts the first encrypted information to obtain first decrypted information.

At this time, the first decryption information is a first two-dimensional code, and the first two-dimensional code is independent of the device type. In other words, the first decryption information does not carry the device type, and at this time, S3008 is executed, and the conference device requests the server to update the first two-dimensional code.

S3008, the conference device sends an update request to the server.

At this time, the update request carries the device type of the conference device.

S3010, the server generates second encryption information.

The information content carried in the second encrypted information is: and generating a second two-dimensional code according to the equipment identifier and the equipment type of the conference equipment.

S3012, the conference device receives second encryption information sent by the server in response to the update request.

S3014, the conference device decrypts the second encrypted information to obtain second decrypted information.

The second decryption information is the second two-dimensional code.

S3016, the conference device generates the authentication information by using the second decryption information and the first room identifier.

At this time, the conference device adds the first room identifier to the second decryption information as well, and generates authentication information.

In the foregoing embodiment, S3006 to S3016 in fig. 4 may correspond to the step S304 in fig. 3.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the authentication information displayed by the conference device is obtained under the processing of the server, and in an actual scene, the conference device may interact with the server to obtain the authentication information generated by the server, or generate the authentication information by itself according to the information sent by the server.

It is understood that the embodiment shown in fig. 4 is one possible embodiment, and that in practical scenarios, other variations are possible. For example, taking fig. 4 as an example, in S3008, the update request may carry its device type and the first room identifier, and thus, in S3014, the second decryption information obtained by decrypting by the conference device is the authentication information. No longer generated by the conference device.

As described above, if the authentication information is the two-dimensional code generated according to the device identifier, the device type, and the first room identifier of the conference device, the conference device only needs to display the two-dimensional code, and the management device scans and authenticates the two-dimensional code.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, after the management device scans the two-dimensional code or receives the authentication information, the authentication can be completed according to the operation of the manager.

In a possible embodiment, the management device may scan the two-dimensional code to authenticate the conference device. In other words, for the management device, in response to scanning the two-dimensional code displayed by the conference device, it can be determined that the authentication is passed. That is, as long as the manager scans the two-dimensional code by using the management device, the authentication is performed on the conference device, that is, "scanning authentication" is also realized.

In another possible embodiment, after the management device obtains the authentication information, specific content (device identifier, device type, first room identifier) of the authentication information may be displayed, so that a manager may determine whether to authorize based on the specific content of the authentication information. At this time, after the management device displays the specific content of the authentication information, the management device collects the user operation information in real time, and if the operation information indicates that the authentication is passed, the binding step described in the following S312 is executed; otherwise, if the authentication fails, stopping executing other steps, or sending an authentication failure notification to the conference equipment so as to prompt the user by the conference equipment.

Correspondingly, if the conference device receives the authentication failure notification sent by the management device, the notification information can be output to prompt the user that the authentication fails. The reminder information may include, but is not limited to: vibration prompt, ring prompt, character prompt, flash prompt and temperature rise prompt.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the authentication for the conference device passes, the management device may establish a binding relationship between the conference device and the target conference room.

In an embodiment, the management device may directly establish a binding relationship between the conference device and the target conference room according to the first room identifier carried in the authentication information. That is, the first room identifier is directly used as the target room identifier, the conference room corresponding to the first room identifier is used as the target conference room, and the binding relationship between the conference device and the conference room corresponding to the first room identifier is established.

In another embodiment, when the management device establishes the binding relationship between the conference device and the target room identifier, the scheme further provides a function of manually selecting the first room identifier for the manager.

At this time, when the step S312 is executed, it may be implemented as follows: when the authentication is passed, the management equipment outputs the room identifier of the bindable conference room; then, the management equipment acquires operation information of the user aiming at the room identifier and determines a second room identifier indicated by the operation information; thereby, a binding relationship between the conference device and the target conference room is established, and the target room identifier corresponds to the second room identifier.

When the room identifier list is displayed, the management device may further obtain the first room identifier carried in the authentication information, and highlight the first room identifier in the room identifier list, for example, highlight or red-bar the first room identifier. And when the second room identification selected by the user is inconsistent with the first room identification, the management device can also output prompt information available for operation so that a manager can determine whether to modify the conference room. If the manager determines to modify, the second room identifier may be used as the target room identifier, and a binding relationship between the target conference room corresponding to the second room identifier and the conference device is established.

For example, when the audio/video device (conference device) outputs its own two-dimensional code, the manager may take a mobile phone (management device) to scan the two-dimensional code, thereby implementing the scanning authentication. At this time, a room identifier list of each conference room may be output on a display interface of the mobile phone, where a first room identifier (assumed to be room identifier 2) carried in the two-dimensional code may be highlighted in the room identifier list, for example, highlighted or red-marked; thus, the manager can select among the list of room identifications. Then, when the second room identifier selected by the operation of the manager is the room identifier 2, the management device may establish a binding relationship between the audio/video device and the target conference room.

On the contrary, if the second room identifier selected by the manager operation is room identifier 1, a prompt message for operation may be output to prompt the user whether to switch the target conference room from conference room 2 (room identifier 2) to conference room 1 (room identifier 1). If the manager selects "determine", the room identifier 2 may be determined as the target conference room, and a binding relationship between the conference room 2 and the audio/video device is established.

Correspondingly, the management device may obtain a binding state between the conference device and the conference room, so that the target conference room is accessed when the binding state is bound.

In a specific embodiment, the management device may store the binding relationship between the two in a preset location to implement the binding operation. In this embodiment, the conference device may read the data of the preset location and determine whether it is authenticated according to the data. It can be understood that, if a record of the binding relationship between the conference device and the target room identifier is recorded here, the conference device determines that the authentication is passed and accesses the target room.

In another specific embodiment, the attribute information of the conference device has a field for identifying a room identifier to which the conference device is currently bound. At this time, the management device may write the target room identifier into the attribute information of the conference device, and thus, the conference device may determine whether the authentication is successful based on the attribute information of the conference device itself.

In addition, as described above, the two embodiments may be combined, and the management device may write the binding relationship between the two embodiments into a preset location, and write the target room identifier into the attribute information of the conference device. At this time, the conference device may or may not have a read right of the preset position. The conference device may determine the binding state based on its own properties.

In summary, the conference system can be started through the foregoing steps.

On this basis, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the conference is ended, the management device is further configured to release the binding relationship.

It will be appreciated that the binding relationship is established in the same manner as the binding relationship is contacted. Specifically, the management device may delete the binding relationship recorded in the preset position; and/or deleting the room identification recorded in the conference device designation field.
