FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the terminal 40 of this embodiment includes:

The building module 402 is configured to: after receiving the construction message of the video conference of the server, construct a virtual video conference room;

The binding module 403 is configured to extract avatar information of all users registered to participate in the video conference carried in the construction message, and respectively respectively, the avatar information and the corresponding virtual video conference room Meeting members are bound.

In this way, a virtual video character with user appearance features is generated, and the character is used to play the voice transmitted by the conference member, thus achieving the purpose of the video call.

In an optional embodiment, the method may further include:

The registration module 401 is configured to send a registration request of the video conference to the server, where the registration request carries the user avatar information.

In an optional embodiment, the display module 404 is further configured to: after receiving the voice information of the user participating in the video conference, displaying the voice information by the corresponding conference member in the virtual video conference room.

In an optional embodiment, the display module 404 is further configured to display the corresponding conference member and the text information in the virtual video conference room after receiving the text information of the user participating in the video conference.

In this embodiment, before the user uses the client, the user information is registered with the server, and the user information includes basic avatars of the user who are photographed and uploaded, and basic information such as the age and gender.

The server extracts user facial features (such as facial textures, ie facial images) and saves them. In order to construct a more realistic user model, the server can extract user avatar information and save it.

When the client constructs a virtual conference room, it binds the information such as the user's age and gender to the user's avatar based on the user information sent by the server to generate the video voice role required for the video conference.

Each user client generates a corresponding video conference role (ie, a conference member) through the user information delivered by the server, and is placed inside a virtual room to complete the conference room construction.

The whole process includes: the client first registers, then initiates or participates in the video conference, builds a virtual conference room, and finally performs a virtual video conference by voice. The server processes the user information, extracts facial features, and pushes the voice and ordinary messages sent by the client. The entire video conference process does not rely on the video stream server, and only the audio information can be transmitted to achieve the purpose of the video conference, which greatly improves the real-time and effectiveness of the video conference.

The method of the embodiment of the invention can realize the purpose of the video conference communication by automatically constructing the conference room only by transmitting the audio signal and the conference personnel information sent by the server, and establishing a virtual face-to-face conference through the terminal. Expanded the idea of video chat, enriched the work Work and life.

In this embodiment, when the instant messaging client registers, the user information is saved to the instant messaging server. When the virtual conference room is recommended, the conference user client receives facial features, user information, and other information of other conference members delivered by the server. The machine is used to set up a virtual conference room. Once the video sponsor initiates a virtual video conference, the participants of the conference can receive the video conference. The method solves the problem of huge bandwidth and network delay required by the video chat room. The user can use the registered user information once to perform the conference video at any time, which greatly reduces the traffic and bandwidth required for establishing the video stream.

One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that all or a portion of the steps described above can be accomplished by a program that instructs the associated hardware, such as a read-only memory, a magnetic or optical disk, and the like. Alternatively, all or part of the steps of the above embodiments may also be implemented using one or more integrated circuits. Correspondingly, each module/unit in the foregoing embodiment may be implemented in the form of hardware or in the form of a software function module. Embodiments of the invention are not limited to any specific form of combination of hardware and software.

Industrial applicability

With the embodiment of the present invention, the user can perform the conference video at any time by using only one registered user information, which greatly reduces the traffic and bandwidth required for establishing the video stream.
