Detailed Description

The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth" and the like in the description and in the claims of this application and in the above-described figures, if any, are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged where appropriate such that embodiments of the present application described herein may be capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein, for example. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "includes" and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

With the rapid development of internet information technology, more and more enterprises and institutions begin to use a conference system to conduct teleconference, and the teleconference can achieve the purpose of holding the conference across regions. The method provided by the application can be applied to scenes in the field of cloud conferences, for example, conference sponsors can organize group members in the same group to participate in a telephone conference, for example, lead organization staff to hold a network conference, or a first party and a second party carry out video conference and the like. In the process of initiating a conference by a leader, the leader can firstly enter an about time interface to check the idle view corresponding to the conference participant, check the schedule information of the conference participant by the idle view, and determine that the conference participant has idle time periods, thereby taking the idle time periods as conference time and creating a schedule, the conference participant receives the schedule, and the conference participant participates in the conference in the appointed conference time. During the process of initiating the conference by the level member, the conference initiator can check the idle view to determine the idle time, and can also directly determine the conference time.

In order to improve efficiency of conference scheduling, the present application proposes a method for conference initiation, which is applied to a conference initiation system shown in fig. 1, please refer to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an architecture of a conference initiation system in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in the drawing, the conference initiation system includes a server and a terminal device, and the terminal device is disposed on a client. In the embodiment of the application, the terminal equipment used by the conference initiator is taken as terminal equipment a, the terminal equipment used by the group member is taken as terminal equipment B, and the terminal equipment a is provided with a client a, and the terminal equipment B is provided with a client B. The terminal device may be, but is not limited to, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a smart speaker, a smart watch, etc. The server related to the application can be an independent physical server, a server cluster or a distributed system formed by a plurality of physical servers, and can also be a cloud server for providing cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (Content Delivery Network, CDNs), basic cloud computing services such as big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The terminal device and the server may be directly or indirectly connected through wired or wireless communication, which is not limited herein.

Specifically, before the conference initiator initiates the teleconference, a target group needs to be determined first, after entering the target group, a time reservation area can be displayed on the project initiation interface of the client a, and the conference initiator selects the target time for starting the conference in the time reservation area, at this time, the client a displays the target time and the prompt information corresponding to the target viewing angle. For example, the content of the prompt may be "no conflict with the schedule of people," i.e., the time when all group members in the group have a meeting in the target time, or the content of the prompt may be "conflict with the schedule of group member a," i.e., the group member a in the target group has other schedules in the target time, which may not be able to participate in the meeting. The meeting initiator may preferentially select a target time of "no conflict with the schedule of people," and the client a transmits an item reservation instruction for the target time to the server, and then the server transmits an item invitation message to the client B according to the item reservation instruction. Thereby, the item invitation message and the meeting response interface are presented on the meeting response interface of client B. Assuming that group member a uses a client B, the group member a may operate the conference response interface, and the client B transmits an item response message to the server according to the operation of group member a. Based on this, the server feeds back the item response message to client a, which presents the item response message on the item initiation interface. Through the method, for the conference initiator, a large amount of negotiation time can be reduced, and the schedules of all members can be more intuitively known through the prompt information corresponding to the target time, so that the efficiency of conference arrangement is improved.

In a conference initiation system, communication between a terminal device and a server may be through a wireless network, a wired network, or a removable storage medium. Wherein the wireless network uses standard communication techniques and/or protocols. The wireless network is typically the Internet (Internet), but may be any network including, but not limited to, bluetooth, a local area network (Local Area Network, LAN), a metropolitan area network (Metropolitan Area Network, MAN), a wide area network (Wide Area Network, WAN), a mobile, private network, or any combination of virtual private networks. In some embodiments, custom or dedicated data communication techniques may be used in place of or in addition to the data communication techniques described above. The removable storage medium may be a universal serial bus (Universal Serial Bus, USB) flash drive, a removable hard disk, or other removable storage medium, etc., which is not limited herein.

The method provided by the application can be applied to the cloud technology field, and some basic concepts of the cloud technology field are introduced before the conference initiating method and the conference responding method provided by the embodiment of the application are specifically introduced. Cloud technology (close technology) refers to a hosting technology for integrating hardware, software, network and other series resources in a wide area network or a local area network to realize calculation, storage, processing and sharing of data. The cloud technology is based on the general names of network technology, information technology, integration technology, management platform technology, application technology and the like applied by the cloud computing business mode, can form a resource pool, and is flexible and convenient as required. Cloud computing technology will become an important support. Background services of technical networking systems require a large amount of computing, storage resources, such as video websites, picture-like websites, and more portals. Along with the high development and application of the internet industry, each article possibly has an own identification mark in the future, the identification mark needs to be transmitted to a background system for logic processing, data with different levels can be processed separately, and various industry data needs strong system rear shield support and can be realized only through cloud computing.

With research and progress of cloud technology, the cloud technology is developed in various directions, and cloud conference is an efficient, convenient and low-cost conference form based on cloud computing technology. The user can rapidly and efficiently share voice, data files and videos with all groups and clients in the world synchronously by simply and easily operating through an internet interface, and the user is helped by a cloud conference service provider to operate through complex technologies such as data transmission, processing and the like in the conference. At present, domestic cloud conference mainly focuses on service contents mainly in a software as a service (software as a service, saaS) mode, including service forms such as telephone, network, video and the like, and video conference based on cloud computing is called cloud conference. In the cloud conference era, the transmission, processing and storage of data are all processed by the computer resources of video conference factories, and users can carry out efficient remote conferences without purchasing expensive hardware and installing complicated software. The cloud conference system supports the dynamic cluster deployment of multiple servers, provides multiple high-performance servers, and greatly improves conference stability, safety and usability. In recent years, video conferences are popular for a plurality of users because of greatly improving communication efficiency, continuously reducing communication cost and bringing about upgrade of internal management level, and have been widely used in various fields of transportation, finance, operators, education, enterprises and the like. Undoubtedly, the video conference has stronger attraction in convenience, rapidness and usability after the cloud computing is applied, and the video conference application is required to be stimulated. Secondly, yun Shejiao (Cloud society) is a virtual Social application mode of the internet of things, cloud computing and mobile internet interaction application, aims at establishing a well-known resource sharing relationship graph, and further develops network Social contact, and the main characteristics of Cloud Social contact are that a large number of Social resources are integrated and evaluated uniformly to form a resource effective pool to provide services for users as required. The more users that participate in the sharing, the greater the utility value that can be created.

Based on the foregoing description, a method for initiating a conference will be described below, referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic interaction flow diagram of a method for initiating a conference in an embodiment of the present application, where as shown in the drawing, it is assumed that a conference initiator uses a client a deployed at a terminal device a, and a group member uses a client B deployed at a terminal device B, specifically:

in step S1, a time reservation area is presented on the item initiation interface shown by the client a for the target group.

In step S2, the conference initiator displays a configurable time, i.e. a target time, from the configurable time set, and the client a displays the target time and a prompt message corresponding to the target time in the time reservation area, where the prompt message is used to prompt schedule information of group members in the target group.

In step S3, the client a transmits an item reservation instruction for the target time to the server.

In step S4, the server sends the project invitation message including the target time to the client B according to the project reservation instruction, and it should be noted that, in practical application, the client B may be one or more, and the client B is shown here only as an illustration, and should not be construed as limiting the application.

In step S5, the client B presents the item invitation message and the meeting response interface on the meeting response interface.

In step S6, when the client B detects an operation for the meeting response interface, an item response message is sent to the server, and since the group members may have a new schedule at the target time, the operation performed by each group member for the item invitation message may not be the same, for example, it is convenient at the target time or inconvenient at the target time, and the item response message carries the identification of the group member.

In step S7, the server sends an item response message carrying the identity of the group member to client a.

In step S8, the item response message is displayed on the item initiation interface of the client a, and because the item response message carries the identification of the group member, the conference initiator can learn the participation information of the group member at the target time through the item response message displayed by the client a, and the participation information indicates that the group member is convenient to participate in the target time or inconvenient to participate in the target time.

With reference to the foregoing description, a method for initiating a conference in the present application will be described below, referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a method for initiating a conference in an embodiment of the present application, where, as shown in the schematic diagram, an embodiment of the method for initiating a conference in the embodiment of the present application includes:

101. Displaying a time reservation area on an item initiation interface aiming at a target group, wherein the target group comprises N group members, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 1;

in this embodiment, before a conference initiator schedules a conference, a time reservation area may be displayed on an item initiation interface of a client a for a target group that needs to participate in the conference, where the target group is one of groups where the conference initiator is located, and includes at least two group members, and includes at least one group member in addition to the conference initiator. It will be appreciated that when N is greater than 1, i.e. there are at least three members in the target group, and when N is equal to 1, i.e. there are only 2 members in the target group, in which case the target group may be understood as a session, i.e. a session of the conference initiator with one group member.

For ease of understanding, the description will be given with reference to fig. 4, where fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present application for entering a time reservation area based on a target group, as shown in the drawing, A1 is used to indicate the target group, A2 is used to indicate an item initiation interface, A3 is used to indicate the time reservation area, fig. 4 (a) shows a group where a conference initiator is located, where the group includes the target group (assumed to be "enterprise group"), and fig. 4 (B) is used to indicate that a client a displays the time reservation area on the item initiation interface, where the enterprise group includes a total of 12 people, that is, 11 group members and a conference initiator. It should be understood that the foregoing examples are only for understanding the present solution, and the location, shape, and size of the time reservation area need to be flexibly determined according to actual situations.

For ease of understanding, the present embodiment will be described with an example in which a conference initiator uses a client deployed on a terminal device as a client a, and a group member uses a client deployed on a terminal device as a client B.

102. Displaying target time and prompt information corresponding to the target time through a time reservation area, wherein the target time belongs to any one configurable time in a configurable time set, and the prompt information is used for displaying schedule information of N group members;

in this embodiment, after the client a displays the time reservation area, a plurality of configurable times are further displayed in the time reservation area, and the conference initiator selects any one of the configurable times as the target time according to the requirement, where the configurable times may include a year, a month, and a date, and specifically may be a month corresponding to each year, a date corresponding to each month, and a time corresponding to each day, and the time may be expressed as hours, minutes, and seconds, for example, for years, a configurable time set includes 2020 to 2025, for months, a configurable time set includes 1 month to 12 months, for dates, a configurable time set includes 1 day to 31 days, and for times, a configurable time set may include 1:00 to 24:00, the conference initiator can select the target time by a mixed mode or a direct input mode. It is understood that the time period corresponding to the target time is one hour, for example, the target time is 14:40, the set corresponding reference time is 14:40 to 15:40, the duration of the time period is not limited in this application.

The client A also displays prompt information corresponding to the target time on the time reservation area. Since the schedules of the group members at the target time are different, if all the schedules of the group members at the target time are idle, the prompt information content corresponding to the target time may be "no conflict with the schedule of the group member" and if there are other schedules of the group member a at the target time, the prompt information content corresponding to the target time may be "conflict with the schedule of the group member a". It should be understood that the content of the prompt message needs to be flexibly determined according to practical situations.

For ease of understanding, 15 at target time of 4 months 15 days (today): 30 are illustrated as an example, referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of an interface for displaying a target time and a prompt message in the embodiment of the present application, where, as shown in the drawing, B1 is used for indicating a time reservation area, B2 is used for indicating a configurable time set, B3 is used for indicating a target time, and B4 is used for indicating a prompt message corresponding to the target time. In fig. 5 (a), the graph is used to indicate the target time and the prompt information displayed in the time reservation area, specifically, the conference initiator may drag the time adjustment frame corresponding to the configurable time in the configurable time set, so that the text information corresponding to the prompt information is "no conflict with the schedule of people" can be seen when the conference initiator is frozen at the target time, that is, the schedules of all group members are in an idle state when the conference initiator is at the target time. In fig. 5 (B), the graph is used to indicate that the target time and the prompt information are displayed in the time reservation area, and similarly, the conference initiator can drag the time adjustment frame corresponding to the configurable time in the configurable time set, so that the text information corresponding to the prompt information can be seen to be "in conflict with the small peach schedule" when the target time is stopped, that is, the group member has other schedules. It should be understood that the foregoing examples are only used for understanding the present solution, and specific target time and prompt information corresponding to the target time need to be flexibly determined according to actual situations.

In this embodiment, the conference initiator may operate on a determination interface within the time reservation region, where the operation includes, but is not limited to, a single click determination interface, a sliding determination interface, or a double click determination interface. After determining the target time, the client a sends a project reservation instruction for the target time to the server, and the server determines the target time after receiving the project reservation instruction and sends a project invitation message including the target time to the client B. It should be appreciated that the clients used by the N group members may be referred to as client B, i.e., the server may send the item invitation message to client B used by the N group members. For easy understanding, referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a method for initiating a conference in the embodiment of the present application, where, as shown in the drawing, C1 is used to indicate a time reservation area, C2 is used to indicate a determination interface, C3 is used to indicate a target time, C4 indicates that a client a sends a project reservation instruction for the target time to a server, a conference initiator may select the target time C3 in the time reservation area, operate the determination interface after the selection is completed, generate the project reservation instruction for the target time, and send the project reservation instruction to the server.

In this embodiment, a method for initiating a conference is provided, in which, before a conference is scheduled by a conference initiator, schedule information of each group member in a target group at a target time can be checked through a time reservation area to determine a suitable conference time. If the target time can be used as the conference time, the conference initiator can directly initiate conference invitation to each group member, the group member replies according to the actual situation, and finally, the conference initiator can acquire the participation situation of each group member on line. Therefore, in the process of conference initiation, a great amount of negotiation time can be reduced for a conference initiator, and the schedules of all members can be more intuitively known through the prompt information corresponding to the target time, so that the efficiency of conference scheduling is improved.

Optionally, on the basis of the embodiment corresponding to fig. 3, in an optional embodiment of the method for initiating a conference provided in the embodiment of the present application, the method for initiating a conference further includes the following steps:

In this embodiment, after receiving the project response message sent by the server, the client a displays the project response message on the project initiation interface, and because the project response message is the participant information fed back to the server by the group member for the project invitation message and carries the identification of the group member, the conference initiator can learn the specific schedule of the group member at the target time based on the project response message. Specifically, the meeting information may include "ok" and "inconvenient", if the meeting information fed back by the N group members is "ok", that is, indicates that the N group members have no other schedule at the target time, and then the meeting initiator may prioritize the meeting at the target time. If the meeting information fed back by at least one group member is inconvenient, the meeting initiator can readjust the meeting time or negotiate the meeting time with the at least one group member.

For ease of understanding, referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is an interface schematic diagram showing a project response message in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, D1 is used to indicate a project initiation interface, D2 is used to indicate a project response message, and based on the graph (a) in fig. 7, the group members 'one-to-one', 'two', 'hip-hop', and 'small peach' feedback reference information are all 'ok', so that the conference initiator can learn that the group members have no other schedule at the target time through the project response message, and thus the conference initiator can initiate the conference at the target time. As can be seen from the graph (B) in fig. 7, the participant information fed back by the group members "one-to-one", "two-to-two" and "hip-hop" is "ok", and the participant information fed back by the group member "small peach" is "inconvenient", so that the conference initiator can know that the group member "small peach" has other schedules at the target time through the project response message. It will be appreciated that the foregoing examples are for understanding the present solution only, and that specific item response messages need to be flexibly determined by specific target times and actual circumstances of group member schedules.

In this embodiment, a method for displaying an item response message is provided, and in this manner, a conference initiator may obtain the meeting condition of each group member online, so in the process of conference initiation, for the conference initiator, the schedule of each member can be more intuitively understood, thereby improving the efficiency of conference scheduling.
