In recent years, video conferences are popular with many users because of greatly improving communication efficiency, continuously reducing communication cost and bringing about upgrading of internal management level, and the video conferences are widely applied to various fields such as governments, armies, transportation, finance, operators, education, enterprises and the like. Undoubtedly, after the video conference uses cloud computing, the cloud computing has stronger attraction in convenience, rapidness and usability, and the arrival of new climax of video conference application is necessarily stimulated.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, a conference state updating method is provided, which is described by taking the method as an example applied to the conference server 104 in fig. 1, and includes the following steps:

step S202, acquiring a conference signaling generated in a conference process; the conference signaling is a control instruction related to the conference.

The conference is a network conference, and specifically may be a multimedia conference. The conference process refers to the whole duration process of the network conference from the beginning to the end. The conference signaling is a control instruction related to a conference and is used for controlling the change of a conference state in the conference process. It can be understood that the conference Signaling is Signaling information generated during a conference of the network conference, and the Signaling information refers to control information other than media information during communication. The media information may also be referred to as media data, including audio-video data, text, pictures or link addresses, etc. It can be understood that the transmission of the media information in the whole conference process can be realized through a UDP (User Datagram Protocol), so that the terminals corresponding to the conference participants can receive and play the corresponding media information.

In an implementation manner, in the whole process from the beginning of the conference to the end of the conference, each member related to the conference may perform an operation related to the conference through a conference application operated by a terminal thereof, so as to trigger generation of a conference signaling corresponding to the operation of the member, and the conference server acquires the conference signaling triggered by each member related to the conference. Wherein the respective members associated with the conference include all members invited to participate in the conference.

In an embodiment of the present application, the generated conference signaling includes communication signaling and device control signaling corresponding to each member related to the conference, and conference progress signaling related to a progress of the conference. It is understood that the communication signaling refers to signaling capable of controlling a change of a communication state of a member, and includes call (Invite) signaling, answer (Ack) signaling, answer (Enter) signaling, reject (reject) signaling, ring timeout signaling, heartbeat (Hello) signaling, Redirect (Redirect) signaling, Exit (Exit) signaling, and the like, where the answer signaling may also be referred to as ring signaling; the device control signaling refers to signaling capable of controlling the working state change of the member communication device, and includes client scene (ClientScene) signaling; the conference process signaling refers to signaling capable of controlling the state change of the conference process, and includes conference start-stop signaling, host identity signaling, document sharing signaling and the like.

For example, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of signaling interaction and data interaction in a conference process in an embodiment, at an initial time of a conference, a conference initiator triggers a conference invitation through a conference application running on a terminal of the conference initiator, generates a call (Invite) signaling, and a conference server performs room allocation and allocates access resources; the invitee receives the invitation and rings through the conference application running on the terminal of the invitee, triggers to generate an answer (Ack) signaling, and confirms the current room state according to the Ackrep returned by the conference server; if any invitee triggers answering operation through the conference application, an answering (Enter) signaling is generated, and the conference server allocates Access resources (Access ip/port) for the terminal; if any invitee triggers the rejection operation through the conference application, generating rejection (reject) signaling or generating ring overtime signaling when the invitee does not answer within the preset ring duration; in the process of conference, conference members (invitees who trigger answering signaling) can trigger operations such as synchronizing own audio and video, system telephone and the like through conference application to generate client scene (ClientScene) signaling, if a host enters or exits, conference starting and ending signaling is generated, if the host identity is switched, host identity signaling is generated, and if a speaker shares a document, document sharing signaling is generated; when any member in the conference is in the process of proceeding the conference or the conference is about to end, triggering Exit operation by the conference application, and generating Exit (Exit) signaling; in addition, when a conference member receives an invitation of another conference through a conference application and rings during the progress of the conference, an answer (Ack) signaling is generated.

And step S204, updating the conference state data stored in the global storage space corresponding to the conference based on the conference signaling to obtain the updated conference state data.

The global storage space is a storage space which is allocated by the conference server based on the conference initiating operation of the conference initiator and is used for storing the related data of the conference. The conference state data is state data of members related to the conference or state data of a conference process, and specifically includes at least one of the member state data and the conference process state data. The member status data includes member identity information and corresponding member status, the member identity information may be a member identity identifier, specifically, a device identifier of a terminal corresponding to the member, or a user account used when the member logs in the conference application; the member state comprises a member communication state and a member device state, the member communication state can be any one of an answering state, a hang-up state or a ringing state, the member device state can be an audio and video sharing state or an audio and video non-sharing state, and it can be understood that the audio and video sharing state corresponds to a starting state of a microphone and a camera, and the audio and video non-sharing state corresponds to a non-starting state of the microphone and the camera; the conference process state data comprises a conference start-stop state, a conference in-progress state, a host state, a conference document sharing state and the like which are related to the conference process.

In an implementation manner, when each member related to the conference receives an invitation to join the conference, that is, when the member related to the conference receives the invitation and rings through a conference application operated by a terminal of the member, the conference server obtains various initial conference process states of the conference, member identity information of each member related to the conference and a corresponding initial member state, and obtains conference process state data and member state data, so as to obtain initial conference state data, store the obtained initial conference state data into a global storage space, then obtain a conference signaling generated in the subsequent conference process in real time, and update the conference state data stored in the global storage space corresponding to the conference in real time based on the obtained conference signaling, so as to obtain updated conference state data.

In an embodiment, step S204, that is, the step of updating the conference state data stored in the global storage space corresponding to the conference based on the conference signaling to obtain the updated conference state data specifically includes: determining current latest conference member state data and current latest conference process state data based on the conference signaling; and covering the current latest conference member state data and the current latest conference process state data with the existing conference state data stored in the global storage space corresponding to the conference to obtain the updated conference state data.

In an implementation manner, after the conference server acquires the conference signaling generated in the conference process, the conference server determines a conference state change result based on the conference signaling, and updates the conference state data stored in the global storage space corresponding to the conference based on the corresponding conference state change result to obtain the updated conference state data. The conference state change result includes at least one of a member change result and a process change result, the member change result may be target member identity information of the member state change and a correspondingly changed member state, and the process change result may be a changed conference process state.

For example, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating state transition of conference participants in an embodiment, where at an initial time of a conference, a conference initiator triggers a conference invitation through a conference application running on a terminal of the conference initiator, generates a call (Invite) signaling, and determines that a state of the conference initiator is a call state and a corresponding state of a conference process is a conference invitation state based on the call signaling; invitees receive the invitation and ring through the conference application running on the terminal, and trigger to generate response (Ack) signaling, and determine the member communication state of each invitee as the ring state based on the response signaling; if any invitee triggers the rejection operation through the conference application, generating rejection (reject) signaling or generating ring overtime signaling when the invitee does not answer within the preset ring duration, and determining the member communication state of the invitee to be the rejection state based on the rejection signaling or the ring overtime signaling; if any invitee triggers answering operation through the conference application, generating an answer (Enter) signaling, and determining the member communication state of the invitee as an answering state based on the answering signaling; in the process of conference, a conference member (an invitee who triggers an answering signaling) can trigger operations such as synchronizing own audio and video, system telephone and the like through a conference application, and then the state of member equipment of the conference member is determined to be an audio and video sharing state based on a client scene (ClientScene) signaling; in the process of a conference, a conference application installed on a terminal of a conference member can also send a heartbeat (Hello) signaling to a conference server at regular time, when the conference server does not receive the heartbeat signaling corresponding to any conference member after exceeding the preset fixed time, the member communication state of the conference member is determined to be a hang-up state based on the heartbeat signaling, if the conference member in the hang-up state carries out the conference again through a conference entrance (Banner) displayed by the conference application, an answer (Enter) signaling is generated, and the member communication state of the conference member is determined to be an answer state based on the answer signaling; in the process of a conference, when the network state of any one of the terminals of the participating members changes, such as network interruption-recovery and the like, generating redirection (Redirect) signaling, and determining that the member communication state of the participating member does not change based on the redirection signaling, namely determining that the member communication state of the participating member is kept in an answering state; in the process of a conference, if a host enters or exits, generating a conference start-stop signaling, and determining the state of a conference process as a start state or an end state based on the conference start-stop signaling; in the process of a conference, if a host triggers the operation of transferring the host identity, a host identity signaling is generated, namely the host identity signaling and the host identity signaling are used for determining a new host state in a conference process state; in the conference process, if a speaker shares a document, generating a document sharing signaling, and generating a document sharing state in a conference process state based on the document sharing signaling; when any member in the conference is in the process of the conference or the conference is about to end, the Exit operation is triggered by any member in the conference through the conference application, Exit (Exit) signaling is generated, and the member communication state of the member in the conference is determined to be the hang-up state based on the Exit signaling. In addition, in the process of the conference, if any member in the conference receives the invitation of other conference and rings, an answer (Ack) signaling is generated, and the member communication state of the member in the conference is determined to be the ring state based on the answer signaling.

In the conference process, the conference server determines a conference state change result based on various conference signaling, where the conference state change result may be at least one of a change result of the communication state of the member, a change result of the state of the member device, and a change result of the state of the conference process, and updates the conference state data stored in the global storage space corresponding to the conference based on the conference state change result to obtain updated conference state data.

In an embodiment, step S204, that is, the step of updating the conference state data stored in the global storage space corresponding to the conference based on the conference signaling to obtain the updated conference state data specifically includes: determining a signaling trigger party identifier for triggering a conference signaling; determining the state change information of the conference members and the conference process change information according to the conference signaling and the signaling trigger party identification; and updating the conference state data stored in the global storage space corresponding to the conference based on the conference member state change information and the conference process change information to obtain the updated conference state data.

The conference signaling is triggered by a member related to the conference through a conference application running on a terminal, and the signaling trigger identifier may be at least one of a terminal identifier of the member and a user account logged in the conference application. The conference member state change information comprises target member identity information of which the member state changes, the member state before change corresponding to the target member identity information, and the member state after change corresponding to the target member identity information. The conference progress change information includes at least one of an added conference progress state, an ended conference progress state, and conference progress states before and after the change.

The conference server may determine, based on the acquired conference signaling, a signaling trigger identity that triggers the conference signaling, and searching target member identity information matched with the signaling trigger identification from the global storage space, namely, determining the target member with the member status changed, and acquiring the target member status corresponding to the target member identity information, and determines the state of the target member after the change based on the conference signaling and the state of the target member to obtain the state change information of the conference member, the conference server determines the change information of the conference process based on the state change information of the conference member after obtaining the state change information of the conference member, and then updating the conference state data stored in the global storage space corresponding to the conference based on the conference member state change information and the conference process change information to obtain the updated conference state data.

Step S206, when the conference state data is updated, generating a conference state change notice.

Wherein, the conference state change notice is a message for transmitting the change of the conference state.

In an embodiment, when the conference state data is updated, the conference server generates a conference state change notification based on the storage location of the updated conference state data in the global storage space, that is, the generated conference state change notification may carry the storage location of the conference state data, so that the terminal receiving the conference state change notification may read the updated conference state data from the global storage space based on the storage location carried by the conference state change notification.

In one embodiment, the conference server may also generate version information corresponding to the updated conference state data each time the update of the conference state data is completed. The version information is used for distinguishing conference state data of different conferences and distinguishing conference state data of different contents of the same conference. The version information may be at least one of text information, digital information, and letter information, for example, the version information is a version number, the version number may be composed of an information sequence of preset digits, the version number digital sequence may include a conference identification portion and a version change portion, the conference identification portion is used to identify a conference corresponding to the conference state data, and the version change portion is used to identify versions of conference state data of different contents of the same conference.

Step S208, sending the conference state change notice to the terminal corresponding to the conference member participating in the conference; and the sent conference state change notification is used for indicating the terminal to read the updated conference state data from the global storage space so as to update the conference state.

And the conference participating members participating in the conference are the members with the current member communication state being the answering state.

In an implementation manner, after generating the conference state change notification, the conference server determines, based on the conference state data stored in the global storage space, the conference members whose current member communication states are answering states, acquires a communication link with each terminal of the conference members, and sends the conference state change notification to the terminal corresponding to the conference member through the communication link with the terminal, and the terminal corresponding to the conference member reads the updated conference state data from the global storage space in response to receiving the conference state change notification, so as to update the conference state.

In the conference state updating method, the conference server updates the conference state data stored in the global storage space corresponding to the conference based on the acquired conference signaling generated in the conference process to obtain the updated conference state data, wherein the conference signaling is a control instruction related to the conference; and generating a conference state change notification when the conference state data is updated, sending the conference state change notification to a terminal corresponding to a conference participant participating in the conference, and reading the updated conference state data from the global storage space by the conference participant through the terminal based on the conference state change notification, so that the conference state can be updated without consuming a large amount of network conference resources.

In one embodiment, after the conference server sends the conference state change notification to the terminals corresponding to the conference participants participating in the conference, the conference state updating method further includes the following steps: receiving a conference state data reading request sent by a terminal; responding to a conference state data reading request, and determining target conference state data matched with a target updating mode based on the updated conference state data stored in the global storage space; returning the target conference state data to the terminal; the target conference state data includes at least one of incremental conference state data and full conference state data.

The conference state updating method comprises an incremental updating method and a full updating method, the target updating method is at least one of the incremental updating method and the full updating method, target conference state data matched with the incremental updating method is incremental conference state data, and target conference state data matched with the full updating method is full conference state data. The incremental conference state data refers to data which is changed in the updated conference state data stored in the storage space relative to the existing conference state data stored in the terminal; the full conference state data is all data of the updated conference state data stored in the storage space.

In an implementation manner, after receiving a conference state change notification sent by a conference server, a terminal responds to the received conference state change notification to generate a conference state data reading request and sends the conference state data reading request to a corresponding conference server, the conference server saves the conference state data reading request sent by the terminal, determines a corresponding target updating mode based on the conference state data reading request, determines target conference state data matched with the target updating mode based on the updated conference state data stored in the global storage space and the conference state data reading request, and returns the determined target conference state data to the terminal, so that the terminal realizes conference state updating based on the target conference state data. The corresponding target updating mode is determined based on the conference state data reading request, and may be determined based on a data acquisition identifier carried in the conference state data reading request, for example, if the data acquisition identifier carried in the conference state data reading request is a full data acquisition identifier, the corresponding target updating mode is determined to be a full updating mode; and if the conference state data reading request does not carry the data acquisition identifier or the carried data acquisition identifier is the incremental data acquisition identifier, determining that the corresponding target updating mode is the incremental updating mode.

In the above embodiment, the conference server determines, by responding to the received conference state data reading request and based on the updated conference state data stored in the global storage space, the target conference state data matched with the target update mode, and returns the target conference state data to the terminal, where the target conference state data may be incremental conference state data or full conference state data, so that the terminal target conference state data realizes conference state update, and the accuracy of terminal conference state update is ensured.

In one embodiment, the conference state data acquisition request sent by the terminal carries the existing conference version information corresponding to the terminal, and the conference server determines target conference state data matched with a target update mode based on the updated conference state data, specifically including: determining latest conference version information corresponding to the updated conference state data; when the conference state corresponding to the terminal is determined to be not the latest state based on the existing conference version information and the latest conference version information, determining incremental conference state data based on the existing conference state data corresponding to the existing conference version information and the updated conference state data; and taking the incremental conference state data as target conference state data matched with the incremental updating mode.

The current conference version information is version information of current conference state data stored in the terminal.

In an implementation manner, after receiving a conference state data reading request, a conference server determines that a target update mode is an incremental update mode based on existing conference version information carried in the conference state data reading request, determines latest conference version information corresponding to updated conference state data stored in a global storage space, compares the existing conference version information with latest conference version information, determines that a conference state corresponding to a terminal is a latest conference state if the existing conference version information is consistent with the latest conference version information, determines that the conference state corresponding to the terminal is a non-latest conference state if the existing conference version information is not consistent with the latest conference version information, searches updated conference state data from the global storage space, and searches existing conference state data corresponding to the existing conference version information from the global storage space, and determining incremental conference state data based on the updated conference state data and the existing conference state data, and taking the incremental conference state data as target conference state data matched with an incremental updating mode.

In the above embodiment, when the conference server determines that the conference state corresponding to the terminal is not the latest state based on the latest conference version information and the latest conference version information corresponding to the updated conference state data, the incremental conference state data is determined through the existing conference state data corresponding to the existing conference version information and the updated conference state data, so that the incremental conference data can be returned to the terminal, and the terminal can update the conference state based on the incremental conference state data, so that the consumption of network conference transmission resources is reduced, and the efficiency of updating the conference state of the terminal is improved.

In one embodiment, the conference state data reading request carries a full data acquisition identifier, and the step of determining target conference state data matched with a target update mode based on updated conference state data specifically includes: extracting a full data acquisition identifier carried in the conference state data reading request; and acquiring the identifier according to the full data, and directly taking the read updated conference state data as target conference state data matched with the full updating mode.

The full-data obtaining identifier may be a character string in a preset format or in a preset content, for example, "all 00," "all 01," … …, "all 10" respectively represent a plurality of different full-data obtaining identifiers, "all" represents obtaining full-conference state data, "00," "01" … … "10" represents currently obtaining full-conference state data for the second time.

In an implementation manner, after receiving the conference state data reading request, the conference server extracts the data acquisition identifier from the conference state data reading request, and determines whether the data acquisition identifier is a full data acquisition identifier based on a format or content of the data acquisition identifier, for example, if the data acquisition identifier contains a character "all", the data acquisition identifier is determined to be the full data acquisition identifier. And if the data acquisition identifier extracted by the conference server is a full data acquisition identifier, directly taking the read updated conference state data as the target conference state data matched with the full updating mode.

In the above embodiment, the conference server extracts the full data acquisition identifier carried in the conference state data reading request, and directly uses the read updated conference state data as the target conference state data matched with the full update mode according to the full data acquisition identifier, so that the full conference data can be returned to the terminal, the terminal realizes the conference state update based on the incremental conference state data, and the accuracy of the terminal conference state update is ensured.

In an embodiment, before sending the notification of the change of the conference state to the terminals corresponding to the conference members participating in the conference, the method for updating the conference state further includes the following steps: when each participating member joins in the conference, acquiring application version information corresponding to each participating member; determining first application version information corresponding to the read diffusion mode in the application version information, and taking the participating members corresponding to the first application version information as first participating members; and sending the conference state change notification to a first terminal corresponding to a first conference member participating in the conference.

The diffusion mode is a mode for diffusing the generated conference state change to the terminals of each participating member when the conference state changes, so that each terminal synchronizes the conference state change, and comprises a read diffusion mode and a write diffusion mode. The read diffusion mode is a mode for storing conference state changes into a global storage space, actively reading the conference state changes from the global storage space through the terminals of all members and further synchronizing the conference state changes; the write-diffusion mode is a mode in which a conference state change is written (i.e., stored) into a local storage space corresponding to a terminal of each member, and the terminal of each member synchronizes the conference state change in the local storage space. The application version information is version information of a conference application installed on each terminal.

The application versions of the conference application installed on the terminal of each member related to the conference may be different, where the application versions include at least one of a first application version and a second application version, the version information of the first application version is first application version information, and the version information corresponding to the second application version is second application version information; the diffusion modes corresponding to the first application version and the second application version are a read diffusion mode and a write diffusion mode respectively. It can be understood that, in an actual situation, the first application version and the second application version may be a new application version and an old application version, respectively, the first application version information is new application version information, the second application version information is old application version information, and the first participating member is a member of a conference application in which the new application version is installed on the terminal.

In the above embodiment, the conference server determines the first application version information corresponding to the read diffusion mode according to the application version information corresponding to each participating member acquired when each participating member joins the conference, and sends the conference state change notification to the first terminal corresponding to the first participating member participating in the conference by using the participating member corresponding to the first application version information as the first participating member, so that the conference state update corresponding to the participating member can be realized based on the diffusion mode matched with the application version information corresponding to each participating member.

In one embodiment, the conference state updating method further includes the following steps: determining second application version information corresponding to the write diffusion mode in the application version information, and taking the participating members corresponding to the second application version information as second participating members; updating local conference state data stored in local storage spaces respectively corresponding to the second conference-participating members based on the conference signaling to obtain updated local conference state data respectively corresponding to the second conference-participating members; when the local conference state data is updated, generating a conference state updating notice; sending the conference state updating notification to a second terminal corresponding to a second conference member; and the sent conference state updating notification is used for indicating the second terminal to read the updated local conference state data from the corresponding local storage space so as to update the conference state.

The local storage space is a storage space which is opened up by the conference server for the conference members and used for storing the conference state data when the conference members join the conference.

The application versions of the conference application installed on the terminal of each member related to the conference may be different, where the application versions include at least one of a first application version and a second application version, and the version information corresponding to the second application version is second application version information; the diffusion mode corresponding to the second application version is a write diffusion mode. It can be understood that, in an actual situation, the first application version and the second application version may be a new application version and an old application version, respectively, and then the first application version information is new application version information, the second application version information is old application version information, and the second participating member is a member of a conference application in which the old application version is installed on the terminal.

In the above embodiment, the conference server determines the second application version information corresponding to the write diffusion mode in the application version information, uses the participating members corresponding to the second application version information as the participating members, updates the local conference state data stored in the local storage space corresponding to each of the participating members based on the conference signaling to obtain the updated local conference state data corresponding to each of the participating members, generates the conference state update notification when the local conference state data is updated, and sends the conference state update notification to the second terminal corresponding to the participating member, where the sent conference state update notification is used to instruct the second terminal to read the updated local conference state data from the corresponding local storage space to update the conference state, so that the conference state can be updated based on the diffusion mode matched with the application version information corresponding to the participating members, and realizing the conference state update corresponding to the conference members.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, a conference state updating method is provided, which is described by taking the method as an example applied to the terminal 102 in fig. 1, and includes the following steps:

step S602, receiving a conference state change notification sent by the conference server when the conference state data update is completed.

The conference state data is state data of members related to a conference corresponding to the terminal or state data of a conference process, and specifically includes at least one of the member state data and the conference process state data. The member status data includes member identity information and corresponding member status, the member identity information may be a member identity identifier, specifically, a device identifier of a terminal corresponding to the member, or a user account used when the member logs in the conference application; the member state comprises a member communication state and a member device state, the member communication state can be any one of an answering state, a hang-up state or a ringing state, the member device state can be an audio and video sharing state or an audio and video non-sharing state, and it can be understood that the audio and video sharing state corresponds to a starting state of a microphone and a camera, and the audio and video non-sharing state corresponds to a non-starting state of the microphone and the camera; the conference process state data comprises a conference start-stop state, a conference in-progress state, a host state, a conference document sharing state and the like which are related to the conference process. And the conference state data is stored in the global storage space, and the conference server allocates a storage space for storing the related data of the conference based on the conference initiating operation of the conference initiator in the global storage space.

In an implementation manner, when each member related to the conference receives the invitation to join the conference, that is, when the conference application installed on the terminal of each member related to the conference receives the invitation and rings, the conference server acquires various initial conference process states of the conference, the member identity information of each member related to the conference and the corresponding initial member state, acquires conference process state data and member state data, thereby acquiring initial conference state data, stores the acquired initial conference state data into the global storage space, then acquires a conference signaling generated in the conference process in real time, updates the conference state data stored in the global storage space corresponding to the conference based on the acquired conference signaling, acquires the updated conference state data, and generates a conference state change notification when the conference state data is updated, and sending the conference state change notification to the terminals corresponding to the participating members participating in the conference, and receiving the conference state change notification sent by the conference server by the terminals.

In one embodiment, after generating the conference state change notification, the conference server acquires a communication link with the terminal, transmits the conference state change notification through the communication link with the terminal, and receives the conference state change notification transmitted by the conference server through the communication link with the conference server.

Step S604, in response to the conference state change notification, generates a conference state data reading request, and sends the conference state data reading request to the corresponding conference server.

The conference state data reading request is used for reading conference state data, and specifically, target conference state data in the conference state data may be read, where the target conference state data includes at least one of incremental conference state data and full conference state data. The conference state data reading request for reading the incremental conference state data in the conference state data carries the current conference version information of the terminal, and the current conference version information is the version information of the current conference state data stored by the terminal. The incremental conference state data refers to data which is changed in the updated conference state data stored in the storage space relative to the existing conference state data stored in the terminal; the full conference state data is all data of the updated conference state data stored in the storage space.

In an implementation manner, the terminal generates a conference state data acquisition request in response to the received conference state change notification, so as to send the conference state data acquisition request to the corresponding conference server, and the conference server determines target conference state data matched with the target updating manner based on the conference data reading request and returns the target conference state data to the terminal. The conference state updating method comprises an incremental updating method and a full updating method, the target updating method is at least one of the incremental updating method and the full updating method, target conference state data matched with the incremental updating method is incremental conference state data, and target conference state data matched with the full updating method is full conference state data. The conference state data acquisition request may carry a data acquisition identifier, the corresponding target update mode is determined based on the conference state data reading request, and the corresponding target update mode may be determined based on the data acquisition identifier carried in the conference state data reading request, for example, if the data acquisition identifier carried in the conference state data reading request is a full data acquisition identifier, the corresponding target update mode is determined to be a full update mode; if the conference state data reading request does not carry the data acquisition identifier, or the carried data acquisition identifier is an incremental data acquisition identifier, determining that the corresponding target updating mode is an incremental updating mode, and the incremental data acquisition identifier may be generated based on the existing version information.

In an embodiment, the step S604, that is, the step of generating a conference state data reading request in response to the conference state change notification, and sending the conference state data reading request to a corresponding conference server specifically includes: and responding to the received conference state change notification, reading the existing conference version information corresponding to the locally stored existing conference state data, generating a conference state data acquisition request based on the existing conference version information, and sending the conference state data acquisition request to the corresponding conference server. The conference state data reading request is used for indicating a conference server to determine incremental conference state data based on the existing conference state data corresponding to the existing conference version information and the updated conference state data when the conference state corresponding to the terminal is determined to be not in the latest state based on the existing conference version information, and the incremental conference state data is used as target conference state data matched with an incremental updating mode.

In an implementation manner, the conference server determines that the target update mode is an incremental update mode based on the received conference state data acquisition request, determines latest conference version information corresponding to updated conference state data stored in the global storage space, compares the current conference version information with the latest conference version information, determines that the conference state corresponding to the terminal is the latest conference state if the current conference version information is consistent with the latest conference version information, determines that the conference state corresponding to the terminal is not the latest conference state if the current conference version information is inconsistent with the latest conference version information, searches the updated conference state data from the global storage space, searches the current conference state data corresponding to the current version information from the global storage space, and determines incremental conference state data based on the updated conference state data and the current conference state data, and the incremental conference state data is used as the target conference state data matched with the incremental updating mode.

Step S606, receiving target conference state data returned by the conference server in response to the conference state data reading request, where the target conference state data is determined by the updated conference state data searched by the conference server from the global storage space corresponding to the conference.

In an implementation manner, after receiving a conference data acquisition request sent by a terminal, a conference server searches updated conference state data from a global storage space corresponding to a conference based on the conference data reading request, determines target conference state data of which the updated conference state data is matched with a target updating mode, returns the target conference state data to the terminal, and receives the target conference state data returned by the conference server.

Step S608, updating the local conference state of the terminal according to the target conference state data.

In one embodiment, after receiving the target conference state data, the terminal updates the locally stored existing conference state data according to the target conference state data to obtain locally latest existing conference state data, and performs conference state updating locally based on the locally latest existing conference state data.

In an implementation manner, if the target conference state data is incremental conference state data, locally stored existing conference state data is updated based on the incremental conference state data; and if the target conference state data is the full-volume conference state data, replacing the locally stored existing conference state data with the obtained full-volume conference state data.

In one embodiment, when the terminal completes updating the local conference state data and obtains the local latest existing conference state data, the terminal generates local latest existing conference version information corresponding to the local latest existing conference state data, so that when the conference state is updated next time, a conference state data reading request is generated based on the local latest existing conference version information. The generated local latest existing conference version information is consistent with the latest conference version information of the updated conference state data corresponding to the target conference state data.

According to the conference updating method, after receiving the conference state change notification sent by the conference server when the conference state data is updated, the terminal responds to the conference state change notification to generate a conference state data reading request, sends the conference state data reading request to the corresponding conference server, and updates the local conference state of the terminal according to the target conference state data after receiving the target conference state data returned by the server. The target conference state data is determined by the conference server according to the updated conference state data searched in the global storage space corresponding to the conference, so that the conference state can be updated without consuming a large amount of network conference resources.

In one embodiment, the conference state updating method further includes the following steps: determining the generation time of the existing conference version information corresponding to the locally stored existing conference state data; when the generation time meets the timing updating condition, generating a conference state data reading request based on the existing conference version information, and sending the conference state data reading request to a corresponding conference server, so that the conference server determines incremental conference state data based on the existing conference state data corresponding to the existing conference version information and the updated conference state data when determining that the conference state corresponding to the terminal is not the latest state based on the existing conference version information; and receiving incremental conference state data fed back by the conference server, and updating the local conference state of the terminal according to the incremental conference state data.

The timing update condition may be that a time interval between the generation time and the current time reaches a set time length.

In an implementation manner, the terminal determines the generation time of the existing conference version information when generating the conference version information, and generates the conference state data reading request based on the existing conference version information when determining that the time interval between the current time and the generation time reaches the set time. The terminal may determine that the time interval between the current time and the generation time reaches the set time length, the terminal starts timing when generating the conference version information, and determines that the time interval between the current time and the generation time reaches the set time length when the timing time length reaches the set time length, that is, the generation time of the conference version information satisfies the timing update condition.

In the embodiment, the terminal determines the generation time of the existing conference version information corresponding to the locally stored existing conference state data; when the generation time meets the timing updating condition, a conference state data reading request is generated based on the existing conference version information, the conference state data reading request is sent to a corresponding conference server, when the conference state corresponding to the terminal is not in the latest state, incremental conference state data fed back by the conference server is received, and local conference state updating of the terminal is carried out according to the incremental conference state data, so that the conference state can be updated even when the terminal cannot receive a conference state change notification.

In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, there is further provided a conference state updating method, which is described by taking the method as an example applied to the terminal 102 in fig. 1, and includes the following steps:

step S702, receiving a conference state change notification sent by the conference server when the conference state data update is completed.

Step S704, in response to the conference state change notification, reads the existing conference version information corresponding to the locally stored existing conference state data.

Step S706, generating a conference state data reading request based on the existing conference version information; and the conference state data reading request is used for indicating the conference server to determine incremental conference state data based on the existing conference state data corresponding to the existing conference version information and the updated conference state data when the conference state corresponding to the terminal is determined to be not the latest state based on the existing conference version information, and the incremental conference state data is used as target conference state data matched with the incremental updating mode.

Step S708, determining the generation time of the existing conference version information corresponding to the locally stored existing conference state data.

Step S710, when the generation time meets the timing updating condition, generating a conference state data reading request based on the existing conference version information, and sending the conference state data reading request to a corresponding conference server, so that when the conference server determines that the conference state corresponding to the terminal is not the latest state based on the existing conference version information, the conference server determines incremental conference state data based on the existing conference state data corresponding to the existing conference version information and the updated conference state data.

Step S712, receiving target conference state data returned by the conference server in response to the conference state data reading request, where the target conference state data is determined by the updated conference state data searched by the conference server from the global storage space corresponding to the conference.

And step S714, updating the local conference state of the terminal according to the target conference state data.

The application scenario applies the conference state updating method as shown in a schematic diagram of a conference updating system framework in an embodiment shown in fig. 8, a flowchart of a conference updating method corresponding to a new conference version in an embodiment shown in fig. 9, and a flowchart of a conference updating method corresponding to an old conference version in an embodiment shown in fig. 10. Specifically, the application of the conference state updating method in the application scenario is as follows:

in an actual conference scene, conference versions of conference applications corresponding to conference members comprise a new conference version and an old conference version, at a certain moment in the conference process, the conference member A triggers a conference signaling, the triggered conference signaling is sent to a conference signaling module of a conference server through the conference application of the conference member A, the conference signaling module updates the member state of the conference member A in conference state data stored in a signaling message storage module based on the received conference signaling to obtain updated conference state data, and generates a conference state change notification when the conference state data is updated, and sends the conference state change notification to a first terminal of a first conference member corresponding to the new conference version, the first terminal pulls incremental conference state data from the conference state data stored in the signaling message storage module in response to the received conference state change notification, the pulled incremental conference data at least comprises the latest member state of the conference-participating member A, and the conference state is updated based on the pulled incremental conference state data. Because the conference server usually sends the conference state change notification through the long-chain connection between the conference application, if the long-chain connection fails to be disconnected or is falsely dead, the first terminal often cannot receive the conference state change notification in time, and based on this, the first terminal can also actively pull the incremental conference state data to the conference server by adopting a timing mechanism.

On the other hand, after the signaling message storage module finishes the conference state data updating, the conference signaling module is based on the received conference signaling, updating the member state of the conference member A in the local conference state data stored in the conference message module respectively corresponding to each conference member to obtain updated local conference state data, and when the local conference state data is updated, generating a conference state updating notification, sending the conference state updating notification to a second terminal of a second conference member corresponding to the old conference version, pulling incremental conference state data from the local conference state data stored in the corresponding conference message module by the second terminal in response to the received conference state updating notification, the pulled incremental conference data at least comprises the latest member state of the conference-participating member A, and the conference state is updated based on the pulled incremental conference state data.

Taking the example that the first terminal pulls the incremental conference state data from the conference server, the incremental conference state data pulled by the terminal is described, referring to a flowchart of a step of determining the incremental conference data in an embodiment shown in fig. 11, when the first terminal initiates a conference pulling operation to the conference server, the first terminal submits an existing conference state version number of the existing conference state data stored locally (i.e. a latest conference version number maintained by the first terminal) to the conference server, the conference server obtains a latest conference version number corresponding to the updated conference state data through the synchronization service module, compares the existing conference state version number with the latest conference version number, if the existing conference state version number is equal to the latest conference version number, indicates that the incremental conference state data is not generated in the updated conference state data, returns an empty incremental conference protector to the first terminal, the pulling is finished; if the existing conference state version number is smaller than the latest conference state version number, the incremental conference state data exists in the conference state data and is not synchronized by the first terminal, the synchronization service module acquires the incremental conference state data from the conference state data stored in the conference signaling module based on the existing conference state version number, the incremental conference state data and the latest conference version number are returned to the first terminal through the signaling message storage module, and a pull-out ending mark is returned when the pull-out is finished.

It should be understood that although the various steps in the flowcharts of fig. 2, 5-7, 9-11 are shown in order as indicated by the arrows, the steps are not necessarily performed in order as indicated by the arrows. The steps are not performed in the exact order shown and described, and may be performed in other orders, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Moreover, at least some of the steps in fig. 2, 5-7, and 9-11 may include multiple steps or multiple stages, which are not necessarily performed at the same time, but may be performed at different times, which are not necessarily performed in sequence, but may be performed alternately or in alternation with other steps or at least some of the other steps or stages.
