Description of the invention (2) (default mode), a list of conference speaking sequences can be generated and displayed on the display device of each participant, so that each participant can understand the speaking sequence without distracting to attract the moderator's attention. Fight for the opportunity to speak, you can also clearly understand the name of the speaker without the need to identify who the speaker is, but also to promote the efficiency of the meeting, and eliminate the sense of separation between members who are not familiar with the meeting. On the other hand, the chairman can select the "speaking order designation" mode at any time by referring to the ranking list and considering the nature of the meeting and the subject matter of the meeting. Principles of priority, first request first, most speaking first, most distant best 10 first, closest distance first, group privilege weight first, highest communication cost first, and lowest communication cost first The right assignment and allocation module selects the sorting mode to determine the priority speaking order. The present invention can also apply multiple modes in combination with each of the ranking weighting modes. 15 The speaking order list generated by the conference speaking right assignment and distribution system will be displayed on the display devices of the participating members in real time, but only the chairman or the conference moderator can change the designated ordering mode.

In this way, for network conferences with limited bandwidth, the efficiency of data processing can be greatly improved. Of course, the moderator of the meeting can send money (int_pt) at any one step of the process to make the system schedule speakers according to the instructions. Or, the conference host has the highest priority in online conferences and can change it at will; the mode of speaking makes the conference progress change as needed. · Further referring to FIG. 3, the present invention further includes a subroutine for specifying and modifying a speech sequencing mode, which includes extracting a speech sequence mode parameter (30), and calling a corresponding mode calculation routine according to the incoming mode parameter to recalculate the speech. Sort 40 (1) to 40 (n), where the mode calculation routine can be divided into: standard conference mode (present mode), presentation mode (presentatioI1 mode), disable mode (disable mode), discussion mode (discussion mode) or priority Priority mode, etc. Among them, the standard conference room mode is a preset value of the system of the present invention, which means that in addition to the conference host, only one participant can express opinions in sequence.

Description of the invention (6) Only the conference host is allowed to speak in the online conference and All participants can only hear the presentation. Discussion mode refers to the hope that all participants in the online conference can speak freely and discuss freely. However, according to statistics, the number of speakers should be preferably one to four. Too many people are too noisy and inefficient while too few people are too rigid. Significant for discussion. Therefore, in the present invention, the number of speakers is limited to one to four, and those who have been registered to speak without permission are given priority to obtain the right to speak next time. Priority mode refers to the fact that one or more participants in a specific group have a higher speaking priority than other participants in a network conference. In the present invention 10, the conference host can set each of them in advance or in the conference. Participants' speaking priority level, the system will automatically arrange speaking order according to the priority level. It can include the first-in-first-served mode (FIFS) where the first-speaker gets the right to speak; the designated interruption mode (preemptive chairman assignment) is assigned by the chairperson to have a right to speak; the group priority mode (group priority) is assigned or preset by the chairperson A group of people has the right to speak; the personal privilege mode (personal priority) is designated by the chairperson or presupposes that someone has the highest right to speak; Least presentation First priority (cumulative speaking record) Most presentation first priority: cumulative conference minutes. The speaker who has the most speakers gets 20 speaking rights. The farthest first priority is based on geographical location. The person who is farthest away from the chairman node gets the speaking right. The most recent priority mode.
