Description

System and method for supporting a meeting using mobile terminal}

The present invention relates to a conference assistant system and method using a mobile terminal. More specifically, when a video conference is performed in a mobile terminal, the same screen sharing and synchronization of data can be induced to all participants to share data. This can increase the efficiency of meetings, control all other meeting participants by specific meeting participants, and control the management of shared materials by empowering users with priority over shared materials to control the control of shared materials. In order to facilitate the meeting, it is possible to reduce the traffic on the network caused by screen sharing by compressing the changed parts on the screen and sending it to the meeting participants so that the meeting can proceed smoothly by increasing the speed and reliability of data sharing. Mobile terminal It relates to a system and method using auxiliary meetings.

Recently, due to the development of mobile communication services, mobile terminals such as tablet smartphones have been released. As the functions of the mobile terminals are diversified, for example, taking pictures or videos, playing music or video files, receiving games, broadcasting, It is implemented as a multimedia device with complex functions such as conference calls.

As an example of a conference call, which is one of the functions of the mobile terminal, a technology for conveniently selecting a voice, a minimum, and the like during a conference call is disclosed in Korean Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-2011-0035629. April 06, 2011) "conference call control method in a mobile communication terminal and a mobile communication terminal applying the same" has been disclosed.

However, the conference call using the conventional mobile terminal has a problem that the conference efficiency is relatively low because the data for the conference cannot be mutually shared.

In addition, the conference call using a conventional mobile terminal has no countermeasure against traffic increase on the network, so that the screen is stopped or interrupted during the video conference, and thus, the conference cannot be smoothly performed whenever the traffic increases during the conference. There is this.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the conventional problems as described above, in the case of video conferencing in a mobile terminal, by conferring the same screen sharing and synchronization of data to all the participants in the conference to share the data by mutually It is to provide a conference assistance system and method using a mobile terminal that can increase the efficiency.

Another object of the present invention is to control all other meeting participants by a specific meeting participant, and to facilitate the management of the shared material by granting a user with priority to the shared material to control the control of the shared material. The present invention provides a conference assistance system and method using a mobile terminal.

Another object of the present invention is to reduce the traffic on the network caused by screen sharing by performing compression on the changed part on the screen and then sending it to the meeting participants, thereby increasing the speed and reliability of data sharing, so that the meeting can proceed smoothly. It is to provide a conference assistance system and method using a mobile terminal.

As a means for achieving the above object, the configuration of the system of the present invention,

It includes a plurality of mobile terminals connected to the server via a network, and the server to allow the plurality of mobile terminals to share the screen and data by inducing screen sharing and synchronization of data,

The server operates a conference support module after accepting the mutual connection of the conference participants through the network communication module for supporting both local area communication and remote communication, and the file compressed and synchronized through the synchronization module. Control module to store the history of playback information when the meeting is over, process and transmit video and audio of meeting participants, view office documents such as word, image, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. It is preferable to include a conference support module for supporting a meeting by allowing a meeting to be made, and a synchronization module for compressing data on the changed parts of the screen and synchronizing and transmitting the screen and data.
