It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

The video conference recovery method provided by the application can be applied to the application environment shown in fig. 1, and is particularly applied to a video conference recovery system. The video conference recovery system comprises a target service control device 102 and a local terminal service control device 104, wherein the target service control device 102 is connected with the local terminal service control device 104. The local service control device 104 executes a video conference recovery method, specifically, determines a current target service control device 102 corresponding to a current video conference; acquiring update information of conference service configuration information corresponding to the current video conference from the target service control device 102, and adding the update information into a configuration information backup set; wherein, the update information is sent by the target service control device 102 in response to a configuration information update event; the local service control device 104 sends state detection information to the target service control device 102 according to the detection information cyclic sending strategy; when the state of the target service control device 102 is confirmed to be abnormal based on the state detection information, determining current conference service configuration information corresponding to the current video conference based on the configuration information backup set; and switching the service control equipment of the current video conference from the target service control equipment to the local service control equipment 104, and performing service configuration on the current video conference based on the current conference service configuration information. The target service control device 102 or the local service control device 104 may be implemented by an independent server or a server cluster formed by a plurality of servers, or may be implemented by a control unit or a controller having a video conference data processing function.

In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, a video conference resuming method is provided, which is described by taking the method as an example applied to the home service control device in fig. 1, and includes the following steps:

step 202, determining a current target service control device corresponding to the current video conference.

The target service control device is connected with the local terminal service control device and is connected with the service control device of the current video conference.

Specifically, when a video conference is performed, a terminal connected to the video conference exists, the terminal is connected to a service control device, and the service control device can process data of the video conference and also can store the data of the video conference, and the service control device connected to the current video conference is used as a target service control device.

In one embodiment, the service control weight of the service control device may be compared, and the current target service control device corresponding to the current video conference, which is determined to have the largest weight, may be selected from the plurality of candidate service control devices.

Step 204, obtaining the update information of the conference service configuration information corresponding to the current video conference from the target service control device, and adding the update information into the configuration information backup set, wherein the update information is sent by the target service control device in response to the configuration information update event.

The conference service configuration information refers to configuration information of services related to the video conference. For example, video conference list information, conference place list information of a video conference, or individual video conference state information, etc. The update information refers to update information of the current conference service configuration information relative to the previous conference service configuration information. For example, the information is updated to update the video conference list information from A, B and C to A, B, C and D. The configuration information update event refers to an event for updating a service. For example, the configuration information update event is an operation of updating video conference list information.

Specifically, after determining the current target service control device corresponding to the current video conference, the update information obtained by the target service control device may be backed up in real time and backed up to the local service control device connected to the target service control device.

In one embodiment, after the target service control device obtains the update information of the conference service configuration information corresponding to the current video conference, the update information is transmitted to the local terminal service control device in real time, and after the local terminal service control device obtains the update information of the conference service configuration information corresponding to the current video conference from the target service control device, the update information is stored in the local terminal service control device configuration information backup set.

In one embodiment, the target service control device obtains the update information with the service operation or the service state as a dimension, and sends the update information to the home terminal service control device, and the home terminal service control device adds the update information to the home terminal configuration information backup set after receiving the update information. For example, when the service operation is to turn on a microphone, the target service control device obtains the update information; or the service state is the offline information of the E meeting place, the information is also the updating information, the updating information is sent to the local terminal service control equipment, and the local terminal service control equipment adds the updating information into the local terminal configuration information backup set after receiving the updating information

And step 206, sending the state detection information to the target service control equipment according to the detection information cycle sending strategy.

The detection information is information capable of detecting whether the target service control device has a fault. The loop transmission policy refers to a policy for loop transmission of the state detection information.

In an embodiment, the local service control device may send preset data to the target service control device at regular time intervals in a cycle, and when the target service control device successfully receives the preset data, the target service control device sends a response message of successful reception to the local service control device, and if the local service control device can receive the response message of successful reception sent by the target service control device, the target service control device is determined to be normal; and if the local terminal service control equipment does not receive the reply information of successful receiving sent by the target service control equipment, determining that the target service control equipment is abnormal.

And step 208, when the state of the target service control equipment is confirmed to be abnormal based on the state detection information, determining current conference service configuration information corresponding to the current video conference based on the configuration information backup set.

Specifically, after the local service control device sends the state detection information to the target service control device according to the detection information cyclic sending strategy, the local service control device replies a receiving confirmation message to the receiving condition of the state detection information to determine the state of the target service control device, and when the state of the target service control device is abnormal, the local service control device takes the conference service configuration information stored in the local configuration information backup set and sent by the target service control device before the abnormality occurs as the current conference service configuration information corresponding to the current video conference.

Step 210, switching the service control device of the current video conference from the target service control device to the local service control device, and performing service configuration on the current video conference based on the current conference service configuration information.

Specifically, after the state of the target service control device is confirmed to be abnormal, since the configuration information backup set of the local service control device already stores the complete current conference service configuration information sent by the target service control device before the abnormality occurs, the service control device of the current video conference is switched from the target service control device to the local service control device, so that the integrity of the current video conference data can be ensured, and the reliability of video conference recovery is improved.

In an embodiment, a video conference switching policy is run in the local service control device, the local service control device may be regarded as a backup control device of the target service control device, and when the target service control device is abnormal, the current video conference is switched to the local service control device.

In the video conference recovery method, the current target service control equipment corresponding to the current video conference is determined; acquiring update information of conference service configuration information corresponding to the current video conference from target service control equipment, and adding the update information into a configuration information backup set, wherein the update information is sent by the target service control equipment in response to a configuration information update event; sending state detection information to target service control equipment according to the detection information cyclic sending strategy; when the state of the target service control equipment is confirmed to be abnormal based on the state detection information, determining current conference service configuration information corresponding to the current video conference based on the configuration information backup set; and switching the service control equipment of the current video conference from the target service control equipment to the local terminal service control equipment, and carrying out service configuration on the current video conference based on the current conference service configuration information. The updating information in the target service control equipment is added into the configuration information backup set of the local terminal service control equipment, when the target service control equipment is abnormal, the local terminal service control equipment is used as the service control equipment of the current video conference, and the related configuration of the video conference is completed based on the configuration information in the configuration information backup set, so that the integrity of video conference data is ensured, and the reliability of video conference recovery is improved.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, determining a current target service control device corresponding to a current video conference includes:

step 302, determining service control weights corresponding to each candidate service control device in a candidate service control device set corresponding to the current video conference; the candidate service control device set comprises a plurality of candidate service control devices.

The service control weight refers to the importance degree of the service control device as the target service control device.

Specifically, the service control device of any one service control device in the candidate service control device set may be assumed to be a target service control device, and the target service control device receives the service control weight sent by each candidate service control device in the candidate service control device set, stores the service control weight in the local area, and determines the service control weight corresponding to each candidate service control device in the candidate service control device set corresponding to the current video conference.

And 304, selecting the current target service control equipment corresponding to the current video conference from the candidate service control equipment set based on the service control weight corresponding to the candidate service control equipment.

Specifically, after determining the service control weight corresponding to each candidate service control device in the candidate service control device set corresponding to the current video conference, comparing the service control weight corresponding to each candidate service control device, and taking the service control device meeting the preset weight condition as the target service control device.

In an embodiment, a method of traversing the service control weight may be used, in which a service control device is set from a candidate service control device set as a target service control device, when a service control device with a weight greater than that of the target service control device is traversed, the service control device with the weight greater than that of the target service control device is used as the target service control device, and so on, the service control device with the largest weight is obtained as the target service control device.

In this embodiment, the purpose of accurately obtaining the target service control device connected to the current video conference can be achieved by determining the service control weight corresponding to each candidate service control device in the candidate service control device set corresponding to the current video conference, and selecting the current target service control device corresponding to the current video conference from the candidate service control device set based on the service control weight corresponding to the candidate service control device.

In one embodiment, the candidate service control device set includes an opposite-end service control device and a home-end service control device, and determining the service control weight corresponding to each candidate service control device in the candidate service control device set corresponding to the video conference includes: receiving a first service weight sent by opposite-end service control equipment and extracting a second service weight stored in advance from local-end service control equipment; selecting the current service control equipment corresponding to the current video conference from the candidate service control equipment set based on the service control weight corresponding to the candidate service control equipment comprises the following steps: and when the first service weight is greater than the second service weight, using the opposite-end service control device as a current target service control device corresponding to the current video conference, and using the home-end service control device as a backup service control device corresponding to the current service control device.

The opposite terminal service control device is a service control device connected with the home terminal service control device.

Specifically, the current target service control device corresponding to the current video conference can be determined by comparing service weights between the opposite-end service control device and the home-end service control device.

In one embodiment, the opposite end service control device continuously sends a first service weight at a certain time interval, and after receiving the first service weight sent by the opposite end service control device, the local end service control device compares the first service weight with a second service weight stored in the local end; and when the first service weight is greater than the second service weight, the opposite-end service control device is used as a current target service control device corresponding to the current video conference, the local-end service control device is used as a backup service control device corresponding to the current service control device, and the opposite-end service control device transmits the received service data and service state of the current video conference to the local-end service control device in real time for backup.

In this embodiment, by comparing the first service weight of the peer service control device with the second service weight of the home service control device, when the first service weight is greater than the second service weight, the peer service control device is used as a current target service control device corresponding to the current video conference, and the home service control device is used as a backup service control device corresponding to the current service control device, so that the purpose of accurately determining the current target service control device corresponding to the video conference and the backup service control device corresponding to the current service control device can be achieved.

In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, after switching the service control device of the current video conference from the target service control device to the local service control device, and performing service configuration on the current video conference based on the current conference service configuration information, the method further includes:

step 402, receiving a primary-secondary relationship confirmation message sent by the target service control device, where the primary-secondary relationship confirmation message carries the first service weight, and the primary-secondary relationship confirmation message is sent after the target service control device is restored from the abnormal state to the normal state.

The master-slave relationship confirmation message is a confirmation message sent by the target service control device and used for confirming the master-slave relationship between the target service control device and the local service control device.

Specifically, after the target service control device returns from the abnormal state to the normal state, the target service control device continuously sends a primary-secondary relationship confirmation message at a certain time interval, where the primary-secondary relationship confirmation message carries a first service weight corresponding to the target service control device. Correspondingly, the local service control device receives the primary-secondary relationship confirmation message sent by the target service control device and the first service weight corresponding to the target service control device carried in the primary-secondary relationship confirmation message at the same time interval.

Step 404, ignoring the first service weight and sending a primary-secondary relationship notification message to the target service control device, where the primary-secondary relationship notification message is used to indicate that the local service control device is the current service control device and indicate that the target service control device is the backup service control device corresponding to the local service control device.

Specifically, when the local service control device is a main service control device and a first service weight carried by a main/standby relationship confirmation message sent by a target service control device is received, the first service weight is ignored, a main/standby relationship notification message is sent to the target service control device, and the target service control device is indicated as a backup service control device corresponding to the local service control device.

In this embodiment, by receiving the primary/secondary relationship confirmation message sent by the target service control device, ignoring the first service weight, and sending the primary/secondary relationship notification message to the target service control device, it is possible to ignore the weight comparison between the service control devices and use the target service control device as the backup service control device corresponding to the local service control device in the case that the target service control device is the primary service control device, thereby accurately determining the primary/secondary relationship between the target service control device and the local service control device, and ensuring the reliability of the video conference recovery.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the video conference resuming method further includes:

step 502, determining the master-slave relationship setting state of the local service control device.

The master-slave relationship setting state refers to a state that the local service control device is set as the master service control device or the slave service control device. For example, if the local service control device is set as the main service control device, the main/standby relationship setting state is primary.

Specifically, the local-end service control device may determine the primary-secondary relationship setting state of the local-end service control device by receiving a query instruction of a primary-secondary relationship setting state or a related operation of a primary-secondary relationship setting state query.

In an embodiment, the local service control device receives an inquiry operation of the primary/secondary relationship setting state, and determines the primary/secondary relationship setting state of the local service control device according to an inquiry result in response to the inquiry operation.

Step 504, when the master-slave relationship setting state is that the local service control device is marked as the current service control device, the step of ignoring the first service weight and sending a master-slave relationship notification message to the target service control device is entered.

Specifically, after determining the master-slave relationship setting state of the local service control device, the current video conference marks that the service control device connected to the current video conference is the current service control device, and it can be understood that the current service control device may be a main service control device, the current video conference is connected to the main service control device, and when it is determined that the local service control device is the main service control device, the step 404 is executed.

In this embodiment, by determining the primary-secondary relationship setting state of the local service control device, and when the primary-secondary relationship setting state is that the local service control device is marked as the current service control device, the method enters a step of ignoring the first service weight and sending a primary-secondary relationship notification message to the target service control device, so that the purpose of determining the current service control device corresponding to the current video conference can be achieved, multiple times of switching of the current video conference due to uncertainty of the current service control device are not required, and the stability of the current video conference is ensured.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the video conference resuming method further includes:

step 602, when the master-slave relationship setting state is that the local service control device is not marked as the current service control device, extracting a pre-stored second service weight from the local service control device.

Specifically, when the target service control equipment fails, the current video conference is switched to the local service control equipment; after the fault of the target service control device is resolved, when the setting state of the main-standby relationship of the local service control device is not marked as the current service control device, the main-standby relationship is determined in a service weight mode, and the determination of the main-standby relationship needs to extract a second service weight stored in advance from the local service control device.

Step 604, determining the primary-standby relationship between the target service control device and the local service control device based on the magnitude relationship between the first service weight and the second service weight.

Specifically, after the second service weight stored in advance is extracted from the local service control device, the primary-standby relationship between the target service control device and the local service control device may be determined according to the magnitude relationship between the first service weight and the second service weight received by the local service control device.

In an embodiment, when the first service weight is greater than the second service weight, it is determined that the target service control device corresponding to the first service weight is a main service control device, and the home-end service control device is a standby service control device.

In an embodiment, when the first service weight is smaller than the second service weight, it is determined that the target service control device corresponding to the first service weight is a main service control device, and the home terminal service control device is a standby service control device.

In this embodiment, when the master-slave relationship setting state is that the local service control device is not marked as the current service control device, the pre-stored second service weight is extracted from the local service control device, and the master-slave relationship between the target service control device and the local service control device is determined based on the magnitude relationship between the first service weight and the second service weight, so that the purpose of determining the master-slave relationship between the target service control device and the local service control device through the service weight can be achieved, thereby being capable of copying video conference related data required for video conference recovery and improving the reliability of video conference recovery.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, confirming the abnormal state of the service control device based on the state detection information includes:

step 702, determining a time interval between the current time and the sending time of the state detection information.

Specifically, when the local service control device sends the state detection information to the target service control device, the target service control device receives the state detection information sent by the local service control device, and if the state of the target service control device is a normal operation state, the target service control device replies corresponding reply information after a time interval.

In an embodiment, the receiving and sending times of the state detection information may be recorded by an information transceiver module of the local service control device, the recording may be performed by a timing module, and the time interval between the current time and the sending time of the state detection information may be determined by the receiving and sending times of the state detection information recorded by the timing module.

Step 704, when it is determined that the time interval reaches the abnormal time interval and the confirmation message carrying the information identifier of the state detection information is not received, confirming that the state of the service control device is abnormal.

The abnormal time interval refers to a time interval for judging that the target service control device is abnormal. And when the time interval is greater than the time interval, judging that the target service control equipment is abnormal, and when the time interval is less than or equal to the time interval, judging that the target service control equipment is normal. The acknowledgement message is a reply message carrying the information identifier of the state detection information. For example, the acknowledgement message is that the 101 st state detection information is successfully received.

Specifically, after a time interval between the current time and the transmission time of the state detection information is determined, the state of the traffic control device is confirmed by comparing the time interval with the abnormal time interval.

In an embodiment, the local service control device stores a preset abnormal time interval in the local, and if it is determined that the time interval between the current time and the sending time of the state detection information is greater than or equal to the abnormal time interval, the local service control device does not receive the confirmation message carrying the information identifier of the state detection information, and then confirms that the state of the service control device is abnormal.

In this embodiment, by determining the time interval between the current time and the sending time of the state detection information, the purpose of determining that the state of the service control device is abnormal when the determined time interval reaches the abnormal time interval and when the confirmation message carrying the information identifier of the state detection information is not received can be achieved, so that the purpose of accurately determining that the state of the service control device is abnormal is achieved, and the reliability of video conference recovery is improved.

In an embodiment, taking 1 service Control device and 1 backup service Control device of the service Control device in a service Control device group, where the service Control device is an mcu (multipoint Control unit) as an example. The main MCU and the standby MCU are respectively provided with a management center, the management centers are application program modules running on the MCU, and the application program modules can realize heartbeat detection, service data incremental backup and main/standby service switching for maintaining the main/standby relationship. The current video conference is connected to the main MCU side, the standby MCU is connected with the main MCU, and the service data and the service state of the current video conference collected by the main MCU can be backed up in real time.

In one embodiment, the MCU in the MCU equipment group is started, and the main-standby relation of the current MCU is determined through the service weight comparison among the MCUs; the main MCU synchronizes all current service data and service states to the backup MCU; the main MCU synchronizes to the backup MCU in real time every time one service data is executed or one service state is changed; the service data includes conference list information, conference place list information or each conference scene information, and the service state includes each conference state information or each conference place state information. The equipment management center of the standby MCU regularly detects the current main MCU state, if the main MCU is abnormal, the equipment management center informs the standby MCU that the current main MCU is abnormal, and the standby MCU quickly restores the video conference service through the backup service data and the service state; the backup MCU completes service recovery and reports the service recovery to a local terminal equipment management center, and the equipment management center marks the current backup MCU as a main MCU; after the original master MCU completes the failure relief and the restart, the original master MCU management center automatically establishes a new master-slave relationship with the original master MCU, or the original master MCU accesses a new backup MCU, continues to determine the current master-slave relationship, and continues to execute the steps. The main MCU may be understood as an MCU connected to the current video conference, and the standby MCU may be understood as an MCU capable of backing up a service state and service data of the MCU connected to the current video conference.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, two MCUs that have determined the primary/standby relationship are taken as an example. The main MCU is a service MCU, the standby MCU is a backup MCU, the service MCU receives a backup request or updates service data and service state, and sends data needing backup to an equipment management center of the backup MCU. Meanwhile, the backup MCU sends a heartbeat packet to the service MCU, and after the service MCU successfully receives the heartbeat packet, the backup MCU sends reply information of successful reception of the heartbeat packet; meanwhile, the service MCU informs the local equipment management center to send backup data to the backup MCU. When the backup MCU receives reply information of successful heartbeat packet receiving sent by the service MCU, the service MCU is confirmed to be normal; however, when the reply message of successful heartbeat packet reception sent by the service MCU is not received within a preset period of time, the backup MCU is notified to start service switching, and the current video conference is switched to the local terminal for connection. So as to ensure the reliability of video conference recovery and the efficiency of video conference recovery.

In an embodiment, when the MCU is initially started, the MCU may send heartbeat packets with a service weight value to each other, so as to determine the relationship between the MCU and the master MCU. For example, assume that MCU1 is configured with a backup MCU2 and a traffic weight value of 50; the MCU2 is configured with a backup MCU1 and a service weight value of 30; the MCU1 is started and sends a heartbeat packet carrying a service weight value of 50 to the configured backup MCU 2; the MCU2 is started and sends a heartbeat packet carrying a service weight value of 30 to the configured backup MCU 1; the MCU1 receives the heartbeat packet carrying the service weight value of 30, compares the service weight value of the current device with 50>30, marks the current MCU as a main MCU, returns confirmation information of determined main-standby relationship, and stops sending heartbeat to the standby MCU 2; the MCU2 receives the heartbeat packet with the service weight value of 50, and marks the current MCU as the standby MCU when the service weight value of the current device is less than 30< 50. If the MCU2 receives the confirmation information that the master/slave relationship is determined from the MCU1, the MCU2 is marked as the slave MCU, and the heartbeat packet is sent to the master MCU 1.

In one embodiment, the backup MCU2 detects an abnormality of the main MCU1, starts service recovery, marks the current MCU2 as the main MCU, and stops sending heartbeat packets to the original main MCU 1; the original main MCU1 is cleared and restarted, and a heartbeat packet with a service weight value of 50 is sent to the configured backup MCU 2; after receiving the heartbeat packet with the service weight value of 50, the MCU2 ignores the weight comparison when the current MCU2 is marked as a master MCU, and returns a confirmation message of the determined master/slave relationship to the MCU 1; the MCU1 receives the confirmation message that the master/slave relationship is determined from the MCU2, marks the current MCU1 as the slave MCU, and keeps sending the heartbeat packet to the master MCU 2.
