When convening video-conference conference, MCU controls the running of each terminal console by transmission channel, realizes conference dispatching.Usually, be provided with the timer module among the MCU, allow the default the time of meeting, can set holding a meeting before promptly that meeting adjourned the time, MCU will finish active conference automatically when arriving the concluding time, thus the automatic scheduling of realization video conference.
But because video conference is to carry out at a distance, each sub-venue is not known the meeting progress time, the meeting progress is difficult to control well, might arrive that meeting adjourned the time, each sub-venue is not also finished conference content, just under the situation of unclear meeting adjourned time, finished by force, bring very big inconvenience, influence the serviceability of equipment greatly to the participant by MCU.
Summary of the invention
The method that the purpose of this invention is to provide time prompting in a kind of TV conference service, during being implemented in video conference and holding, each sub-venue can both in time be known the progress of the time of meeting process effectively to conduct a meeting.
The object of the present invention is achieved like this: the method for time prompting in a kind of TV conference service, be used to comprise the video meeting system of multipoint control unit, transmission channel and a plurality of video terminals, it is characterized in that comprising following steps: A, multipoint control unit scheduling and beginning meeting, start the countdown timer that initial value is changed to meeting time span simultaneously; B, multipoint control unit judge whether apart from meeting adjourned be the fixed time, in this way then to meeting message correlation time of each video terminal broadcasting; C, video terminal are according to described meeting message correlation time that receives, display reminding time on screen.
Preferably, in described step C, video terminal is according to described correlation time of the message that receives, the display reminding time, and start a countdown timer that is positioned at this video terminal, continue the display reminding time on screen according to this countdown timer.
Preferably, in described step B, described meeting message correlation time adopts the mode of in-band signalling to send to each participant video terminal by multipoint control unit.
Preferably, the mode of described employing in-band signalling is: by the BAS sign indicating number, by the LSD channel or by MLP, HDLP, HSD in-band channel.
Preferably, among the described step C, video terminal is presented at prompt time on the screen by the subtitle superposition mode.
Preferably, described meeting message correlation time comprises at least: duration, meeting remaining time is carried out in meeting start time, meeting adjourned time, meeting.
The invention has the advantages that during video conference is held each sub-venue can both in time be known the time of meeting process, thus the progress that can conduct a meeting more effectively.The present invention has made things convenient for the user who uses video conference largely, has improved the service of video meeting system.
