Detailed Description

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in further detail below.

The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention is applied to the video networking, wherein the video networking adopts a real-time high-definition video exchange technology, and can integrate required services such as dozens of services of videos, voices, pictures, characters, communication, data and the like on a system platform on a network platform, such as high-definition video conferences, video monitoring, intelligent monitoring analysis, emergency command, digital broadcast televisions, delay televisions, network teaching, live broadcasting, VOD on demand, television mails, Personal Video Recorders (PVRs), intranet (self-office) channels, intelligent video broadcasting control, information distribution and the like, so that high-definition quality video playing is realized through a television or a computer.

According to an aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, a video call method is provided, which is applied to a target application program for logging in a first account.

As shown in fig. 1, the video call method may include the steps of:

step 101: and interacting with an SDK (software development kit) server to acquire target identification information.

And the target identification information is identification information of a second account of the target application program in the video network. When the account of the target application program logs in and accesses the video network, the video network assigns identification information which can identify the account of the target application program, for example, the identification information can be a video network number. Wherein, the account number of a target application program corresponds to a video network number.

Therefore, in the video network, the account number of each target application program is identified through the identification information of the account number of the target application program in the video network, so that the identification information of the second account number of the target application program in the video network is the basis for establishing the video call of the video network between the second account number and the first account number, and therefore, if the first account number needs to perform the video call with the second account number through the video network, the identification information of the second account number in the video network needs to be acquired.

In addition, the target application program is a third-party APP of the video network. The third party APP is typically installed on a non-video network terminal, such as an internet terminal. Specifically, the internet terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or the like.

For example, if the third party APP is installed on an internet terminal, a switch may be provided on the third party APP when the third party APP itself can perform a video call through the internet, and when the switch is in the first mode, the internet is used to perform the video call; when the switch is in the second mode, the video call is carried out by using the video network. Specifically, when the switch is in the second mode, if a user operation for instructing to initiate a video call is received (for example, a user clicks a video call button on a display interface of a third party APP), the step 101 is started to be executed.

Optionally, the interacting with the SDK server to obtain the target identification information includes:

sending a first request message to an SDK server, wherein the first request message comprises the user information of the second account;

and receiving the target identification information sent by the SDK server, wherein the target identification information is identification information corresponding to the user information of the second account acquired by the SDK server according to a pre-stored first corresponding relationship, and the first corresponding relationship comprises the corresponding relationship between the user information of the account of the target application program and the identification information of the account of the target application program in the video network.

Optionally, the user information may be a number of an account.

Therefore, the SDK server stores the corresponding relationship between the user information of the account of the target application program and the identification information (for example, a video network number) of the account of the target application program in the video network, so that when the first account of the target application program needs to perform a video call with the second account, the target application program logging in the first account can send a request message carrying the user information of the second account to the SDK server, so that the SDK server searches the identification information of the second account in the video network according to the corresponding relationship between the user information of the account of the target application program stored in the SDK server and the identification information of the account of the target application program in the video network, and returns the identification information to the target application program logging in the first account when the identification information is found.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, through the above interaction process between the target application program logged in the first account and the SDK server, the identification information of the second account of the target application program in the video network may be acquired.

Step 102: and sending the target identification information to a video network server.

When the account of the target application program logs in and accesses the video network, the video network streaming media server connected with the terminal logging in the account is recorded in the video network server. Therefore, if the second account of the target application program is logged in the second terminal, the corresponding relationship between the identification information of the second account of the target application program in the video network and the second video network streaming media server connected with the second terminal is recorded in the video network server.

Therefore, after receiving the target identification information (i.e., the identification information of the second account of the target application program in the video network), the video network server searches the corresponding second video network streaming media server according to the target identification information, and then sends a second request message to the second video network streaming media server, so that the second video network streaming media server forwards the second request message to the target application program installed on the second terminal (i.e., the target application program that logs in the second account), where the second request message is used to indicate that the first account requests to establish a video call.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, the second video networking streaming media server found by the video networking server informs the target application program for logging in the second account, and the first account requests to establish the video call.

After the target application program which logs in the second account receives the second request message, if the target application program receives preset input (for example, a user clicks a video call answering button in a display interface of the target application program), the target application program which logs in the second account generates a response message for indicating that the second account agrees to establish a video call with the second account, the response message is forwarded to the video network server through the second video network streaming media server, and then the response message is sent to the target application program which logs in the first account through the video network server.

Step 103: and receiving a response message returned by the video networking server and used for indicating that the second account agrees to establish a video call with the first account.

And the response message is acquired by the video network server from a target application program for logging in the second account according to the target identification information. In addition, since the response message is used to indicate that the second account agrees to establish a video call with the first account, the target application program that logs in to the first account receives the response message, which indicates that the establishment of the video network video call link between the target application program that logs in to the first account and the target application program that logs in to the second account is completed, and then, a video call can be performed between the first account and the second account through the link.

Optionally, the sending the target identification information to the video network server includes:

forwarding the target identification information to the video networking server through a first video networking streaming server;

receiving the response message returned by the video network server, wherein the response message comprises:

receiving the response message forwarded by the video network server through the first video network streaming media server;

the first video network streaming media server is connected with a first terminal, and the first terminal is a terminal where a target application program for logging in the first account is located.

In addition, the video network streaming media server is a bridge and a link of the video network and the internet audio and video transmission service, realizes seamless fusion of the video network service and the interconnection service, can safely access various audio and video resources in the internet into the video network, can convert different audio and video streams of a video conference, a monitoring image, a digital television and the like in the video network and output the different audio and video streams in a common standard internet protocol mode, and is core equipment for interconnection and intercommunication of the video network and an internet mobile phone client.

Therefore, data are forwarded through the first video networking streaming server between the first terminal where the target application program logged in the first account is located and the video networking server. That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, the data that the target application program that logs in the first account needs to be sent to the video networking server may be converted into a video networking protocol (for example, a V2V (Virtual to Virtual, migration from a Virtual machine to a Virtual machine) protocol) by the first video networking server, and then sent to the video networking server; the data that the video network server needs to send to the target application program logged in the first account may be converted into an Internet Protocol (e.g., IP) by the first video network server, and then sent to the target application program logged in the first account.

Step 104: and carrying out video call with a target application program logged in the second account through the video networking server.

In step 103, a response message that the second account agrees to perform the video call is received, and the target application program logged in the first account may perform the video call with the target application program logged in the second account through the video networking server, that is, the target application program logged in the first account may perform the video call with the target application program logged in the second account through the video networking.

The target application program logging in the first account receives a response message that the second account agrees to carry out video call, and the video call link between the target application program logging in the first account and the target application program logging in the second account is successfully established, so that the target application program and the video call link can start to carry out video call through the link.

In addition, data forwarding is carried out between the target application program logged in the first account and the video networking server through the first video networking streaming server, and similarly, data forwarding can be carried out between the target application program logged in the second account and the video networking server through the second video networking streaming server. And the video networking video call link established between the target application program for logging in the first account and the target application program for logging in the second account is a communication link formed by the target application program for logging in the first account, the first video networking streaming media server, the video networking server, the second video networking streaming media server and the target application program for logging in the second account.

Therefore, audio and video data collected by a first terminal where a target application program of a first account logs in is sequentially transmitted to the target application program of a second account through the target application program of the first account, a first video networking streaming server, a video networking server and a second video networking streaming server, so that a corresponding video picture can be displayed in the target application program of the second account and corresponding audio information can be played.

Similarly, the audio and video data collected by the second terminal where the target application program of the second account logs in is sequentially transmitted to the target application program of the first account logging in through the target application program of the second account logging in, the second video networking streaming server, the video networking server and the first video networking streaming server, so that the corresponding video picture can be displayed in the target application program of the first account logging in, and corresponding audio information can be played.

In addition, a video networking Software Development Kit (SDK) may be integrated in the third party APP. The SDK is a collection package for providing a development tool for accessing the SDK to a third party. Thus, the third party APP may access the video network through the video network SDK. Further, the video network SDK includes a video telephone module, and then the steps 101 to 104 can be executed by the video telephone module.

As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the target application program logged in the first account interacts with the SDK server to obtain the identification information of the second account of the target application program in the video network, so as to interact with the video network server and the target application program logged in the second account according to the identification information, so as to establish a video network video call link between the target application program logged in the first account and the target application program logged in the second account, so that two users of the first account and the second account of the third party APP in the video network can perform video call through the video network.

According to another aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, a video call method is provided, which is applied to a video networking server.

As shown in fig. 2, the video call method may include the steps of:

step 201: and receiving target identification information sent by a target application program for logging in the first account.

Therefore, in the video network, the account number of each target application program is identified through the identification information of the account number of the target application program in the video network, so that the identification information of the second account number of the target application program in the video network is the basis for establishing the video call of the video network between the second account number and the first account number, and therefore, if the first account number needs to perform the video call with the second account number through the video network, the target application program logged in the first account number needs to acquire the identification information of the second account number in the video network and then sends the identification information to the video network server, and the video network server interacts with the target application program logged in the second account number according to the identification information, so that the video call between the target application program logged in the first account number and the target application program logged in the second account number is performed through the video network.

Step 202: and sending a second request message to a target application program for logging in the second account according to the target identification information.

The second request message is used for indicating the first account to request the establishment of a video call. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the identification information of the second account of the target application program in the video network, the video network server notifies the target application program which logs in the second account according to the identification information, and the first account requests to establish a video call.

Step 203: and receiving a response message sent by the target application program for logging in the second account.

The response message is used for indicating that the second account agrees to establish a video call with the first account.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the second request message, if the target application program that logs in the second account receives a preset input (for example, the user clicks a video call answering button in a display interface of the target application program), the target application program that logs in the second account generates a response message for indicating that the second account agrees to establish a video call with the second account, and sends the response message to the video networking server.

Optionally, the sending a second request message to the target application program that logs in the second account according to the target identification information includes:

acquiring a streaming media server corresponding to the target identification information according to a second pre-stored corresponding relationship, and determining the streaming media server as a second video network streaming media server connected with a second terminal, wherein the second terminal is a terminal where a target application program for logging in a second account is located, and the second corresponding relationship comprises the corresponding relationship between the identification information of the account of the target application program in the video network and the streaming media server;

forwarding the second request message to a target application program for logging in the second account through the second video networking streaming media server;

the receiving of the response message sent by the target application program which logs in the second account includes:

and receiving the response message forwarded by the target application program which logs in the second account through the second video networking streaming media server.

The video network streaming media server is a bridge and a link of a video network and an internet audio and video transmission service, realizes seamless fusion of the video network service and the interconnection service, can safely access various audio and video resources in the internet into the video network, can convert different audio and video streams of a video conference, a monitoring image, a digital television and the like in the video network and output the different audio and video streams in a common standard internet protocol mode, and is core equipment for interconnection and intercommunication of the video network and an internet mobile phone client.

And, the target application is a third party APP of the video network, and the third party APP is generally installed on a non-video network terminal, such as an internet terminal. Therefore, when the second terminal where the target application program for logging in the second account is located is an internet terminal, data can be forwarded through the second video network streaming server between the target application program installed on the second terminal and the video network server. The data which is required to be sent to the video network server by the target application program for logging in the second account can be forwarded to the video network server through the second video network server; the data of the target application program which is required to be sent to the login second account by the video network server can also be forwarded to the target application program which is logged in the second account by the second video network server. In addition, when the account of the target application program logs in and accesses the video network, the video network streaming media server connected with the terminal logging in the account is recorded in the video network server. Therefore, if the second account of the target application program is logged in the second terminal, the corresponding relationship between the identification information of the second account of the target application program in the video network and the second video network streaming media server connected with the second terminal is recorded in the video network server.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the target identification information (i.e., the identification information of the second account of the target application program in the video network), the video network server searches the corresponding second video network streaming server according to the target identification information, and then sends a second request message to the second video network streaming server, so that the second video network streaming server forwards the second request message to the target application program installed on the second terminal (i.e., the target application program that logs in the second account), where the second request message is used to indicate that the first account requests to establish a video call.

And after the target application program which logs in the second account generates the response message, the response message is forwarded to the video network server through the second video network streaming media server.

Step 204: and sending the response message to a target application program for logging in the first account.

And sending the response message to the target application program logged in the first account through the step 204, so that the target application program logged in the first account performs video call with the target application program logged in the second account through the video networking server.

That is, the target application program that logs in the first account receives the response message, and the target application program that logs in the first account can perform a video call with the target application program that logs in the second account through the video networking server, that is, the target application program that logs in the first account can perform a video call with the target application program that logs in the second account through the video networking.

The video network streaming media server is a bridge and a link of video network and internet audio/video transmission service. And, the target application is a third party APP of the video network, and the third party APP is generally installed on a non-video network terminal, such as an internet terminal. Therefore, when the first terminal where the target application program for logging in the first account is located is an internet terminal, the transmission of the target identification information and the response message between the target application program installed on the first terminal and the video network server can be relayed through the first video network streaming media server.

According to another aspect of the embodiment of the present invention, a video call method is provided, which is applied to a target application program for logging in a second account, where the target application program is a third-party application program of a video network. The third party APP is typically installed on a non-video network terminal, such as an internet terminal. Specifically, the internet terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or the like.

The second request message is used for indicating the first account of the target application program to request the establishment of the video call.

When a target application program for logging in a first account needs to perform video call with a target application program for logging in a second account through a video network, the target application program for logging in the first account firstly sends a first request message to an SDK server, the first request message comprises user information of a second account of the target application program, the SDK server acquires identification information corresponding to the user information of the second account according to a corresponding relation between the pre-stored user information of the account of the target application program and identification information (such as a video network number) of the account of the target application program in the video network, and determines the identification information as the target identification information, so that the target identification information is returned to the target application program for logging in the first account.

And after receiving the target identification information, the target application program logging in the first account sends the target identification information to a first video networking streaming media server connected with a first terminal where the target application program logging in the first account is located, and then the first video networking streaming media server forwards the target identification information to the video networking server, so that the video networking server sends a second request message for indicating the first account to request to establish a video call to the target application program logging in the second account according to the target identification information.

The specific process of sending, by the video networking server, the second request message for indicating that the first account requests to establish the video call to the target application program logging in the second account according to the target identification information is described in detail in the embodiment of the video networking server, and is not described herein again.

And, the target application is a third party APP of the video network, and the third party APP is generally installed on a non-video network terminal, such as an internet terminal. Therefore, when the second terminal where the target application program for logging in the second account is located is the internet terminal, the transmission of the second request message and the response message between the target application program installed on the second terminal and the video network server can be relayed through the second video network streaming media server.

Similarly, when the first terminal where the target application program of the first account is logged in is an internet terminal, data can be transferred between the target application program installed on the first terminal and the video network server through the first video network streaming media server.

Therefore, the video networking video call link established between the target application program for logging in the first account and the target application program for logging in the second account is a communication link formed by the target application program for logging in the first account, the first video networking streaming server, the video networking server, the second video networking streaming server and the target application program for logging in the second account.

According to another aspect of the embodiment of the invention, a video call method is provided, which is applied to an SDK server.

As shown in fig. 4, the video call method may include the steps of:

step 401: and interacting with a target application program for logging in the first account, and providing target identification information for the target application program for logging in the first account.

The SDK server provides target identification information for a target application program which logs in a first account, so that the target application program which logs in the first account can send the target identification information to the video network server, the video network server can obtain a response message which indicates that a second account agrees to establish video call with the first account from the target application program which logs in the second account according to the target identification information, the video network server returns the response message to the target application program which logs in the first account, and the target application program which logs in the first account can perform video call with the target application program which logs in the second account through the video network server.

In addition, the target identification information is identification information of a second account of the target application program in the video network, and when the account of the target application program logs in and accesses the video network, the video network allocates identification information capable of identifying the identity of the account, for example, the identification information can be a video network number. Wherein, the account number of a target application program corresponds to a video network number.

Therefore, in the video network, the account number of each target application program is identified through the identification information of the account number of the target application program in the video network, so that the identification information of the second account number of the target application program in the video network is the basis for establishing the video call of the video network between the second account number and the first account number, and therefore, if the first account number needs to perform the video call with the second account number through the video network, the identification information of the second account number in the video network needs to be acquired, namely, the target application program logging in the first account number interacts with the video network server, and the identification information of the second account number in the video network is requested to the video network server, so that the video network server provides the identification information of the second account number in the video network for the target application program logging in the first account number in the interaction process.

Optionally, the interacting with the target application program that logs in the first account to provide the target identification information to the target application program that logs in the first account includes:

receiving a first request message sent by a target application program for logging in the first account, wherein the first request message comprises user information of the second account;

acquiring identification information corresponding to the user information of the second account according to a first pre-stored corresponding relationship, and determining the identification information as the target identification information, wherein the first corresponding relationship comprises the corresponding relationship between the user information of the account of the target application program and the identification information of the account of the target application program in the video network;

and sending the target identification information to a target application program for logging in the first account.

Therefore, according to the embodiment of the invention, the target application program which logs in the first account interacts with the SDK server to obtain the identification information of the second account of the target application program in the video network, and then interacts with the video network server and the target application program which logs in the second account according to the identification information to establish the video network video call link between the target application program which logs in the first account and the target application program which logs in the second account, so that two users of the first account and the second account of the third party APP in the video network can perform video call through the video network.

According to another aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, there is provided a video call system, including a target application program for logging in a first account, a first video networking streaming server, a video networking server, a second video networking streaming server, a target application program for logging in a second account, and a video networking software development kit SDK server;

In addition, the first video network streaming media server is connected with a terminal where a target application program which logs in the first account is located, and the second video network streaming media server is connected with a terminal where a target application program which logs in the second account is located.

Specifically, when the video call system of the embodiment of the present invention performs a video call, an interaction process between a target application program that logs in a first account, a video networking server, a target application program that logs in a second account, a video networking software development kit SDK server, a first video networking streaming server, and a second video networking streaming server may be as shown in fig. 5.

The third-party APP installed on the first terminal is integrated with the video networking SDK (the video networking SDK is made to be the first SDK), the third-party APP installed on the second terminal is integrated with the video networking SDK (the video networking SDK is made to be the second SDK), the third-party APP installed on the first terminal logs in the account A, and the third-party APP installed on the second terminal logs in the account B.

When a video call button in a display interface of a third-party APP installed on a first terminal is clicked, a first SDK sends a first request message carrying user information of an account B to an SDK server, and the SDK server searches a video networking number corresponding to the user information of the account B according to a corresponding relation between the user information stored in the SDK server and the video networking number and returns the video networking number to the first SDK as the video networking number of the account B.

Secondly, the first SDK sends the video networking number of the account B to a first video networking streaming media server connected with the first terminal, and the first video networking streaming media server forwards the video networking number to the video networking server.

And thirdly, after receiving the video networking number of the account B, the video networking server determines the video networking streaming server corresponding to the video networking number of the account B according to the corresponding relation between the video networking number of the account B and the video networking streaming server stored when the account B logs in and accesses the video networking before, and determines the video networking streaming server as a second video networking streaming server, so that a second request message is sent to the second video networking streaming server, wherein the second request message is used for indicating the account A to request the establishment of the video call.

And thirdly, the second video network streaming media server forwards the second request message to the second SDK, when a video call answering button in a third-party APP interface installed on the second terminal is clicked, the second SDK generates a response message for indicating that the account B agrees to carry out video call, the response message is returned to the second video network streaming media server, the response message is forwarded to the video network streaming media server by the second video network streaming media server, the response message is further forwarded to the first video network streaming media server by the video network streaming media server, and the response message is further forwarded to the first SDK by the first video network streaming media server.

Finally, after receiving the response message, the first SDK performs a video call between the third-party APP of the login account a and the third-party APP of the login account B through the video network, that is, the audio and video collected by the first terminal and the audio and video collected by the second terminal are transmitted over a communication link of the first SDK, the first video network streaming media server, the video network server, the second video network streaming media server, and the second SDK.

In summary, in the embodiments of the present invention, through interaction among the third-party APP of the login account a, the SDK server, the first video networking streaming server, the video networking server, the second video networking streaming server, and the third-party APP of the login account B, video call between users of different accounts of the third-party APP through the video networking is realized, so that the video call is smoother, and further, the experience of the user in the video call process is improved.
