Specifically, the user interface unit 11 displays a "conference control" dialog box, the user can call up, record, add or detach a participant, group conference, mute a selected communication terminal in the "conference control" dialog box, and send a document and/or an image to the communication terminal in the conference control process, specifically, after selecting the communication terminal, such as selecting "Hank", then click the call up, record, add or detach a participant, group conference, mute a communication terminal in the dialog box, and send a document and/or an image button to the communication terminal in the conference process, then the user interface unit 11 sends a conference control request corresponding to the conference control to the protocol unit 12, the protocol unit 12 IP-encapsulates the conference control request sent by the user interface unit 11 and forwards an IP data packet to the communication unit 13, and receiving the response information transmitted by the communication unit 13; the communication unit 13 sends the packaged IP data packet to the adapter 3, the adapter 3 forwards the IP packet to the media server 4, the media server 4 analyzes the IP packet and then executes corresponding call tracing, recording, adding or removing participants, grouping conference, muting and sending documents and/or images to the communication terminal in the conference process, the media server 4 sends response information to the adapter, the adapter 3 forwards the response information of the media server 4 to the communication unit 13, the communication unit 13 forwards the response information to the protocol unit 12, and the protocol unit 12 decodes and forwards the received response information to the user interface unit 11.
The IP data uses a flexible definition, making the protocol definition very flexible and easy to scale. Fig. 22 is an IP packet format created according to an embodiment of the present invention. The IP data packet is composed of four parts, including: length, Reserved, Header, and Body. Specifically, as shown in table one:
table one: IP packet composition
| Item | Description of the invention |
| Length | The total Length of the message is the sum of the lengths of the Length, Reserved, Header and Body. This field itself takes 4 bytes. |
| Reserved | Fields are reserved. This field itself occupies 8 bytes. |
| Header | Header, all message structures must contain a header. The message itself takes up 32 Bytes. |
| Body | The message bodies of different messages are different, and the length of the message bodies is variable. |
The message Header (Header) is used for defining a protocol Version used when data is transmitted by using a 'Version' field; defining a Sender ID for the multi-party conferencing request using "Sender"; the "Receiver" field is used to define the ID of the participating terminals participating in the conference.
When the numbers of the participating terminals participating in the multi-party conference are included in the 'Receiver' field, the media server parses the IP data packet after receiving the IP data packet, and thus the numbers of the participating terminals participating in the multi-party conference can be obtained, thereby instructing the voice/data network to call the participating terminals participating in the multi-party conference.
Various modifications may be made to the above without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. The scope of the invention is therefore intended to be limited not by the above description, but rather by the scope of the appended claims.
