detailed description

To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that in various embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to make the reader better understand the present disclosure, many technical details are proposed. However, even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments, the technical solutions claimed in the present disclosure can be realized.

The first embodiment of the present disclosure relates to an online conference establishment method, which can be applied to a cloud conference server. Referring to FIG. 1, the method for establishing an online conference in this embodiment includes steps 101 to 104.

Step 101: Obtain information about the meeting to be held.

Among them, the information of the meeting includes the information of the invited participants.

Step 102: Deliver the conference notification information according to the information of the invited participants.

Step 103: Receive feedback information on the participation situation of the conference notification information.

Step 104: Send the joining request information according to the feedback information of the participation situation.

Compared with some situations, this embodiment can obtain the feedback information of the two-way feedback of the invited participants when issuing the notification information of the conference, that is, the invited participants can use the interactive processing technology according to the participation The notification information is issued in a way to feed back information about the participation. After receiving feedback information about the participation, such as participating in the conference or not, you can also send the membership request information according to the feedback on the conference status, and actively request the participants to join the conference. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure obtains the feedback information of the participation situation through the interactive processing technology and actively requests the participants to join the conference, so that the participants can conveniently participate in the online conference by concisely responding, without the tediousness of accessing the conference by themselves Operation is helpful to improve the efficiency and enthusiasm of participation.

The following describes the implementation details of the online conference establishment method of this embodiment. The following content is merely implementation details provided for easy understanding, and is not necessary for implementing this solution.

Step 101: In obtaining the information of the conference to be held, the cloud conference server may immediately process the creation of a conference for the user and reserve conference resources when the conference convener receives a request to reserve the conference. Among them, you can also obtain the information of the meeting to be held submitted by the user, including but not limited to: meeting initiator (Creator), meeting subject (Subject), meeting time (Time), and information of invited participants. This embodiment can be applied to online video or audio conferences.

In this embodiment, the conference notification information may be generated based on the information of the conference to be held and the preset conference notification template. For example, the conference notification template is similar to: #Creator# has successfully reserved the conference "#Subject#", the conference will be held in #StTime#, please choose your preferred participation method, reply "1" to the conference room to participate in the conference ; Reply "2" to participate in the conference through the multi-party video conference APP; reply "3" to participate in the conference through the office's voice or video phone; reply "4" to refuse to participate in the conference. However, it is not limited to this, and the notification template can be modified according to actual application needs.

For example, in step 102, the conference notification information can be delivered according to the information of the invited participants through various sending methods. In one embodiment, types of conference notification information such as voice calls, mobile phone short messages, emails, and instant messages can be delivered according to the communication method reserved by the invited participants. Among them, the voice phone supports the intelligent interactive voice prompt function, and the mobile phone text messages, emails, and instant messages need to support the interactive function. The voice call in this embodiment may refer to dialing a fixed phone or mobile phone number stored in the cloud conference server (or database), and the mobile phone short message may refer to the mobile phone number of the participant stored in the cloud conference server to send a short message notification or email. It can be sent to the email address of the participant stored in the cloud conference server, and instant messaging can refer to pushing the conference notification to the participant's WeChat or other mobile office software through the public account. The method of issuing the announcement of the voice telephone participation is very informative, which can effectively prevent the missed meeting. Instant messaging is very popular, so adopting instant messaging is easy to be accepted by users, and it is convenient for users to participate in meetings.

Step 103: In the feedback information on the participation situation that receives the notification information, the invited participants can respond to the participation situation by issuing the notification information when receiving the notification information. Therefore, the cloud conference The server may receive feedback information on the participation situation through the communication path that delivers the notification information. For example, the invited participants can reply to the cloud conference server whether to participate in the conference and what kind of equipment to participate in the conference according to their own time schedule and location. For example, the invited participants reply “1” to the meeting room to participate in the conference, reply “2” to participate in the conference through the multi-party video conference APP (that is, through a personal terminal), and reply “3” to participate in the office via voice or video call. Meeting, reply "4" refused to participate in the meeting due to personal reasons such as time conflict, not interested. It should be noted that it is also possible to prompt the invited participants to choose the reason for not being able to participate in the conference in a manner similar to the prompt for participating in the conference notification message.

Among them, the participating terminals may include: conference room terminals, personal terminals, office terminals, etc. In step 103, it can also be determined whether the fed-back participant terminal is a conference room terminal. If the participant determines to use the conference room terminal as the conference terminal, it is determined whether there is a candidate conference room terminal that meets the preset conditions. Room terminal, send the information of the candidate conference room terminal for the participant to select, and receive the target conference room terminal information fed back by the participant, and use the received target conference room terminal information as the conference terminal information corresponding to the participant . If there is no conference room terminal that meets the preset conditions, the participant may be prompted to select another participant terminal to participate in the conference. Wherein, the preset condition is, for example, an idle and a video or voice terminal of a conference room commonly used by users, but it is not limited to this, and may also be an idle conference room terminal only. For example, if the participant returns "1" to the conference room to participate in the meeting in step 103, that is, the participant selects the conference room terminal as the conference terminal, the cloud conference server can quickly query the conference room commonly used by the participant and available conference rooms List information and send it to the participant for selection, so that the conference room terminal bound to the conference room selected by the participant can be used as the conference terminal of the participant. If the participant replies "2" to participate in the conference through the multi-party video conference APP (ie personal terminal), the participant terminal corresponding to the participant is its personal terminal. Similarly, if the participant replies "3" to participate in the conference (ie, office terminal) by voice call or video call, the conference terminal corresponding to the participant is its office terminal. If the participant selects "4", he refuses to participate in the meeting. At the same time, the preset list of reasons for refusing to participate in the meeting can be issued to the invited participant for selection, and after receiving the response from the invited participant, it is recorded in the cloud conference database for easy follow-up The output of meeting minutes.

In step 104, the conference request information is sent according to the feedback information of the conference participation, which is: establishing a conference control list based on the feedback information of the conference participation. Among them, the feedback information of the participation situation includes: information of the participants and information of the terminal. According to the information of the participants in the conference control list and the information of the conference terminal, the membership request information is sent.

In one embodiment, the participant determined in step 103 and the corresponding participant terminal are bound and added to the conference control list. In one embodiment, sending the joining request information according to the feedback information of the participation situation is specifically: presetting the starting time of the joining request. Among them, the initiation time of the join request is earlier than the start time of the meeting, and when the initiation time of the join request is reached, the join request information is sent according to the conference control list. For example, before the start of the meeting, for example, 3 minutes before the start of the meeting, send the request information to the participant's terminal, and wait for the participant to answer the request and join the meeting. In one embodiment, the cloud conference server can call each participant's voice phone or video phone number to join the conference according to the conference control list; if the invited participant refuses to participate in the conference, the cloud conference server does not accept the invited participant Add the person to the conference control list or delete the invited participant from the conference control list, and no longer call the invited participant to join the conference before the conference starts.

It is worth mentioning that, before sending the membership request information in step 104, it can also be determined whether the participant terminal fed back by the participant is a personal terminal. If it is a personal terminal, it is determined whether the fed personal terminal meets the membership conditions for joining the conference, If the membership conditions are not met, a reminder message is sent to remind the participants to process so that the personal terminal meets the membership conditions. Among them, the membership condition is, for example, that the personal terminal has registered a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) account. In practical applications, conference room terminals and office terminals can register SIP accounts in advance. Participants can either register the SIP account in advance or complete the SIP account registration before the meeting starts. Therefore, by detecting the registration status of the SIP account of the personal terminal in advance, and reminding the participants to register the SIP account in advance when the personal terminal has not registered the SIP account, it can ensure that the participant can smoothly participate in the conference through the personal terminal.

Compared with some cases, this embodiment adopts interactive processing technology, which not only can receive the feedback of the participation situation from the invited participants when issuing the notification information, but also can be flexible according to the feedback information of the participation situation Select the participant terminal that the participant wants to use, and actively send a request for membership to the participant terminal, which provides great convenience for people to participate in the conference.

Step 204: Before the start of the meeting, count the information of the invited participants who did not feedback the participation information, and send the participant notification information multiple times according to the information of the invited participants who did not feedback the participation information. In one embodiment, the conference notification information is sent multiple times based on the information of the invited participants who did not feedback the conference situation information, including: according to the time when the conference notification information was sent, it is determined to send the conference notification using text information or voice information information.

For example, after the conference reservation is successful, the conference notification information can be delivered via SMS, email, or instant message. At a certain time before the start of the meeting, for example, 30 minutes before the start of the meeting, if some invited participants still have not feedback on the participation situation, they will again send the notification information to the invited participants who have not feedback, such as Send the conference notification information to the invited participants by voice. At a certain time before the start of the meeting, for example, 10 minutes before the start of the meeting, if some invited participants still have not feedback on the situation, they will send the participants to the uninvited invited participants by voice again. Notification information, such as automatically dialing the fixed telephone or mobile phone of the invited participant who has not feedback, and make the final notification to it, if the feedback has not been received, the notification of participation can no longer be given. It should be understood that this embodiment does not specifically limit the number of times of attendance notifications, the time of issuance, and the manner of issuing attendance notification information. For example, you can also respond to the most timely voice call notification.

It is worth mentioning that, in some examples, the convener of the meeting can also be allowed to set the importance information of the invited participants and the meeting cancellation conditions. Among them, the meeting cancellation condition is, for example, that more than half of the invited participants with high degree of importance all report rejection to the meeting. In the step of delivering the conference notification information to the invited conference participants based on the information of the invited conference participants, the conference notification information is distributed to the invited conference participants with high importance, and the results of the conference are counted. Invited participants with a high degree of importance to participate in the meeting, continue to send the notification information to the remaining invited participants, if more than half of the invited participants with a high degree of importance cannot participate in the meeting, it is judged to be satisfied Meeting cancellation conditions, cancel this meeting, and cancel the sending of notification information to the remaining invited participants.
