Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

The teleconference management method provided by the application can be applied to the communication system architecture schematic diagram shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 1, the communication system includes: the conference call management system comprises a network device, a plurality of terminals and a conference call management device (the conference call management device is not shown in fig. 1), wherein the plurality of terminal devices access the same conference call through the network device, and the plurality of terminals can comprise a terminal 1, a terminal 2, a terminal 3 and a terminal 4 shown in fig. 1, wherein the terminal 1 is a host terminal, and the terminal 2, the terminal 3 and the terminal 4 are conference participants. In the case shown in fig. 1, the conference call management device may be integrated in the terminal 1.

In the embodiment of the present application, the conference call may be an IP multimedia system-based conference call (IMS conference call), the conference call may be a voice conference call, or may also be a video conference call, and terminals participating in the conference call interact with each other through an IMS protocol.

It should be noted that the communication System shown in fig. 1 may be applicable to different network formats, for example, may be applicable to Global System for Mobile communication (GSM), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA), Long Term Evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE), and future 5G network formats. Alternatively, the communication system may be a system in a scenario of high-Reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC) transmission in a 5G communication system.

Therefore, optionally, the Network device may be a Base Station (BTS) and/or a Base Station Controller in GSM or CDMA, a Base Station (NodeB, NB) and/or a Radio Network Controller (RNC) in WCDMA, an evolved Node B (eNB or eNodeB) in LTE, or a relay Station or an access point, or a Base Station (gbb) in a future 5G Network, and the application is not limited herein.

The terminal may be a wireless terminal or a wired terminal. A wireless terminal may refer to a device that provides voice and/or other traffic data connectivity to a user, a handheld device having wireless connection capability, or other processing device connected to a wireless modem. A wireless terminal, which may be a mobile terminal such as a mobile telephone (or "cellular" telephone) and a computer having a mobile terminal, for example, a portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-included, or vehicle-mounted mobile device, may communicate with one or more core Network devices via a Radio Access Network (RAN), and may exchange language and/or data with the RAN. For another example, the Wireless terminal may also be a Personal Communication Service (PCS) phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and other devices. A wireless Terminal may also be referred to as a system, a Subscriber Unit (Subscriber Unit), a Subscriber Station (Subscriber Station), a Mobile Station (Mobile), a Remote Station (Remote Station), a Remote Terminal (Remote Terminal), an Access Terminal (Access Terminal), a User Terminal (User Terminal), a User Agent (User Agent), and a User Device or User Equipment (User Equipment), which are not limited herein. Optionally, the terminal device may also be a smart watch, a tablet computer, or the like.

In the above communication system, the host terminal is terminal 1, and the participants terminals are terminals 2 and 3, then the terminal 1 can establish a teleconference by:

step one, the terminal 1 sends a message to the network device, wherein the message is used for requesting the network device to establish a teleconference, and the message comprises an identifier a1 corresponding to the terminal 2 and an identifier b1 corresponding to the terminal 3.

Secondly, the network equipment respectively sends invitations to the terminal 2 and the terminal 3 according to the identifier a1 corresponding to the terminal 2 and the identifier b1 corresponding to the terminal 3, and invites the terminals to join the teleconference;

step three, the network equipment sends a notification message for indicating that the telephone conference is successfully established to the terminal 1;

and step four, the terminal 1 sends a confirmation message to the network equipment to indicate that the notification message sent by the network equipment in the step three is successfully received.

After the conference call is established successfully, the method can further comprise the following steps:

step five, the terminal 1 sends subscription information to the network equipment to subscribe the conference state of each terminal in the teleconference; in this scheme, the conference state may include a connection state and an offline state, where the access state indicates that the terminal is accessed to the teleconference, and the offline state indicates that the terminal is not accessed to the teleconference, and in practical application, the conference state may be further refined into more states, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

And step six, if the conference state of the terminals of the participants changes, the network equipment sends a notification message to the terminal 1, wherein the notification message comprises the identification of the terminal of the participant with the changed conference.

For example, if the conference state of the terminal 2 is a connection state, and the connection state indicates that the terminal 2 is accessed to the teleconference, the network device sends a notification message to the terminal 1, where the notification message includes an identifier corresponding to the terminal 2, and here, the identifier corresponding to the terminal 2 carried in the notification message in the sixth step may be the same as or different from the identifier corresponding to the terminal 2 in the message sent by the terminal 1 to the network device in the first step.

If the identifier a2 corresponding to the terminal 2 in the notification message sent by the network device to the terminal 1 in the sixth step is different from the identifier a1 corresponding to the terminal 2 in the message sent by the terminal 1 to the network device in the first step, the terminal 1 stores the identifier a2 corresponding to the terminal 2 in the notification message sent by the network device to the terminal 1 in the sixth step.

Next, if the terminal 1 removes the terminal 2, the terminal 1 sends a message to the network device, where the message includes an identifier corresponding to the terminal 2, and the message indicates that the terminal 2 in the teleconference is removed. Since the policy of the network device performing the removal operation may be different in different communication networks, for example, in an LTE network, the network device may perform the removal operation based on the identifier a1 corresponding to the terminal 2 included in the message sent by the terminal 1 to the network device in step one, and if the network device is the other identifier corresponding to the terminal 2 (for example, the identifier a2 corresponding to the terminal 2), the network device does not perform the removal operation; in the WLAN network, the network device may perform the removing operation based on the identifier a2 corresponding to the terminal 2 included in the notification message sent by the network device to the terminal 1 in step six, and if the network device is the other identifier corresponding to the terminal 2 (for example, the identifier a1 corresponding to the terminal 2), the network device does not perform the removing operation.

If the terminal 1 removes the terminal 2 and randomly selects one of the identifiers corresponding to the terminal 2, the terminal 2 may not be successfully removed, and therefore, the success rate of removing the terminals of the participants by the host terminal of the teleconference is low.

The teleconference management method provided by the embodiment of the application aims to solve the technical problems in the prior art.

The following describes the technical solutions of the present application and how to solve the above technical problems with specific embodiments. The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. Embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a first embodiment of a teleconference management method provided in the present application. In an embodiment, the terminals participating in the teleconference include a first terminal and M second terminals, the first terminal is a host terminal, the second terminals are participants terminals, and M is a positive integer. As shown in fig. 2, the method includes:

s201, P first messages sent by the first terminal to the network equipment.

In one possible case, the first terminal sends P first messages to the network device based on an instruction input by the user. The instruction input by the user may be input by the user through a touchable screen of the first terminal, or may be input by the user through voice, or may be input by the user through another external device connected to the first terminal, such as a mouse. In the embodiment of the present application, a specific manner for a user to input an instruction is not limited.

Correspondingly, the network device receives P first messages from the first terminal, where the P first messages are used to instruct the network device to remove N second terminals in the teleconference, the P first messages include identifiers corresponding to the N second terminals, and each of the N second terminals corresponds to at least one identifier. N and P are positive integers, where N is equal to or less than M and P is equal to or less than N.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the identifier of the terminal may be a phone number of the terminal, where the phone number may be a mobile phone number of the terminal, or may also be a group service short number of the terminal.

Illustratively, the scheme may include the following cases:

1、P＝N

if P is equal to N, the first terminal instructs the network device to remove N second terminals by sending P first messages, where each of the P first messages includes an identifier corresponding to one second terminal, and the P first messages includes identifiers corresponding to different second terminals.

For example, the terminals participating in the teleconference include a first terminal (i.e., terminal 1) and 3 second terminals, the 3 second terminals being terminal 2, terminal 3, and terminal 4, respectively. When the terminal 1 wants to remove the terminal 2 and the terminal 3, the terminal 1 sends 2 first messages to the network device, the 2 first messages are respectively used for indicating the network device to remove the terminal 2 and the terminal 3 in the teleconference, the 1 st first message comprises an identifier corresponding to the terminal 2, and the 2 nd first message comprises an identifier corresponding to the terminal 3.

2、P＝1

If P is equal to 1, the first terminal instructs the network device to remove the N second terminals by sending a first message, where the first message includes identifiers corresponding to the N second terminals.

For example, the terminals participating in the teleconference include a first terminal (i.e., terminal 1) and 3 second terminals, the 3 second terminals being terminal 2, terminal 3, and terminal 4, respectively. When the terminal 1 wants to remove the terminal 2 and the terminal 3, the terminal 1 sends 1 first message to the network device, the 1 first message is used for instructing the network device to remove the terminal 2 and the terminal 3 in the teleconference, and the first message includes the identifiers corresponding to the terminal 2 and the terminal 3 respectively.

3. P < N, and P is not equal to 1

If P is less than N, the first terminal instructs the network device to remove N second terminals by sending P first messages, wherein the P first messages comprise identifiers corresponding to the N second terminals respectively.

For example, the terminals participating in the teleconference include a first terminal (i.e., terminal 1) and 4 second terminals, the 4 second terminals being terminal 2, terminal 3, terminal 4, and terminal 5, respectively. When the terminal 1 wants to remove the terminal 2, the terminal 3 and the terminal 5, the terminal 1 sends 2 first messages to the network device, the 2 first messages are used for indicating the network device to remove the terminal 2, the terminal 3 and the terminal 5 in the teleconference, the 1 st first message comprises an identifier corresponding to the terminal 2, and the 2 nd first message comprises identifiers corresponding to the terminal 3 and the terminal 5 respectively.

It should be noted that, in practical applications, P and N can be set according to practical requirements.

In practical applications, since the terminal side usually cannot acquire what kind of identifier the network device performs the removal operation, optionally, the identifier of the second terminal included in the P first messages may be determined by a type of identifier corresponding to the participant terminal used by the first terminal as the host terminal to successfully remove the participant terminal.

For example, the terminals participating in the teleconference include a first terminal (i.e., terminal 1) and 3 second terminals, where the 3 second terminals are terminal 2, terminal 3, and terminal 4, respectively, where terminal 2 corresponds to 1 identifier (the identifier is a1), and terminal 3 corresponds to 2 identifiers (2 identifiers are b1 and b2, respectively). Terminal 1 may send 1 first message to the network device or 2 first messages to the network device to instruct the network device to remove terminal 2 and terminal 3 in the conference call. The first message sent by terminal 1 to the network device comprises identity a1 of terminal 2 and identity b1 of terminal 3.

Since the terminal 2 only corresponds to one identifier, the terminal 1 only has one identifier of the terminal 2 that can be used when the terminal 2 is to be removed; the terminal 3 corresponds to two different identifiers, where the 1 st identifier b1 corresponding to the terminal 3 is an identifier used in the process of establishing the teleconference by the terminal 1 (i.e., an identifier in the first step in the embodiment shown in fig. 1), and the 2 nd identifier corresponding to the terminal 3 is an identifier used in a notification message that the network device sends the conference state change of the terminal of the conference participant to the terminal 1 (i.e., an identifier in the sixth step in the embodiment shown in fig. 1). The terminal 1 determines whether the identity of the terminal 3 included in the first message is b1 or b2 according to the type of the identity of the participating terminal used when it succeeds in removing the participating terminal as the moderator terminal. The type of the identifier referred to herein includes an identifier used by the host terminal when the teleconference is established and an identifier used when the conference state of the participating terminal changes and the network device sends a notification message to the host terminal.

It should be noted that when the terminal 1 determines that the identifier corresponding to the terminal 3 in the first message is b1 or b2, it may be determined that the terminal 1 serves as the host terminal, and the identifier corresponding to the participant terminal used when the participant terminal is successfully removed from the communication network that is the same as the current communication network. Because the configuration modes of the network devices are likely to be closer to each other in the same communication network, the identifier corresponding to the terminal 3 is determined according to the identifier corresponding to the participant terminal used by the participant terminal successfully removed when the terminal 1 serves as the host terminal in the same communication network, and the success rate of removing the terminal 3 by the terminal 1 can be improved.

S202, the network equipment executes removal operation according to the first message.

S203, the network equipment sends P second messages to the first terminal.

Accordingly, the first terminal receives P second messages from the network device, where the P second messages are used to indicate whether the N second terminals are successfully removed.

Specifically, if P is 1, the first terminal sends 1 first message to the network device, and the network device executes a removal operation according to the 1 first message, and then sends 1 second message to the first terminal, where the 1 second message is used to indicate whether the N second terminals are successfully removed; if the P is equal to N, the first terminal sends N first messages to the network device, and the network device sends N second messages to the first terminal after executing a removal operation according to the N first messages, where each second message is used to indicate whether a second terminal is successfully removed; if P < N and P is not equal to 1, the first terminal sends P first messages to the network device, and the network device sends P second messages to the first terminal after performing a removal operation according to the P first messages, where each second message is used to indicate whether one or more second terminals are successfully removed.

That is, in this scheme, for each first message, the network device sends a second message to the first terminal to indicate whether the second terminal indicated in the first message of the first terminal is successfully removed. Therefore, in this scheme, the P second messages may be regarded as response messages corresponding to the P first messages, respectively.

S204, the first terminal determines whether all the N second terminals are successfully removed according to the P second messages.

If the first terminal determines that the N second terminals have not successfully removed all the N second terminals according to the P second messages, S204 is executed.

S205, the first terminal sends Q third messages to the network equipment.

In one possible case, the first terminal sends Q third messages to the network device based on an instruction input by the user. The instruction input by the user may be input by the user through a touchable screen of the first terminal, or may be input by the user through voice, or may be input by the user through another external device connected to the first terminal, such as a mouse. In the embodiment of the present application, a specific manner for a user to input an instruction is not limited.

Correspondingly, the first terminal receives Q third messages from the network device, where the Q third messages are used to instruct the network device to remove K second terminals, the K second terminals may include one or more of the N second terminals that are not successfully removed, and the identifiers corresponding to the second terminals included in the Q third messages are different from the identifiers corresponding to the second terminals included in the first message.

In this scheme, the K second terminals may include all the second terminals that are not successfully removed from the N second terminals, or may include some second terminals that are not successfully removed from the N second terminals, and may further include other newly added second terminals that need to be removed.

If the K second terminals include one or more of the N second terminals that are not successfully removed, the identifiers corresponding to the one or more of the N second terminals that are not successfully removed included in the Q third messages are different from the identifiers corresponding to the second terminals in the P first messages.

Illustratively, the scheme may include the following cases:

1、Q＝K

if Q is equal to K, the first terminal instructs the network device to remove K second terminals by sending Q third messages, where each of the Q third messages includes an identifier corresponding to one second terminal, and the Q third messages includes identifiers corresponding to different second terminals.

For example, the terminals participating in the teleconference include a first terminal (i.e., terminal 1) and 3 second terminals, where the 3 second terminals are terminal 2, terminal 3, and terminal 4, respectively, terminal 2 corresponds to 1 identifier (the identifier is a1), and terminal 3 corresponds to 2 identifiers (the 2 identifiers are b1 and b2, respectively). When the terminal 1 wants to remove the terminal 2 and the terminal 3, the terminal 1 sends 1 or 2 first messages to the network device to instruct the network device to remove the terminal 2 and the terminal 3 in the teleconference, wherein the first messages comprise an identifier a1 corresponding to the terminal 2 and an identifier b1 corresponding to the terminal 3. The network device executes the removal operation according to the first message, and then sends 1 or 2 second messages to the terminal 1 to indicate that the terminal 1 does not successfully remove the terminal 3; the terminal 1 sends 2 third messages to the network device, where the 1 st third message includes an identifier b2 corresponding to the terminal 3, and the 1 st third message is used to instruct the network device to remove the terminal 3; the 2 nd third message includes an identifier c1 corresponding to the terminal 4, and the 2 nd third message is used to instruct the network device to remove the terminal 4.

2、Q＝1

If Q is equal to 1, the first terminal instructs the network device to remove the K second terminals by sending a third message, where the third message includes identifiers corresponding to the K second terminals.

For example, the terminals participating in the teleconference include a first terminal (i.e., terminal 1) and 3 second terminals, the 3 second terminals being terminal 2, terminal 3, and terminal 4, respectively. When the terminal 1 wants to remove the terminal 2 and the terminal 3, the terminal 1 sends 1 or 2 first messages to the network device, the 1 or 2 first messages are used for indicating the network device to remove the terminal 2 and the terminal 3 in the teleconference, and the 1 or 2 first messages comprise the identifiers corresponding to the terminal 2 and the terminal 3 respectively. The network device executes the removal operation according to the first message, and then sends 1 second message to the terminal 1 to indicate that the terminal 1 does not successfully remove the terminal 3; terminal 1 sends 1 third message to the network device, where the third message includes identifier b2 corresponding to terminal 3, and the third message is used to instruct the network device to remove terminal 3.

In some cases, the K second terminals may further include a newly added second terminal (for example, terminal 4) that needs to be removed, and the third message sent by the terminal 1 to the network device may further include, in addition to the identifier b2 corresponding to the terminal 3, an identifier c1 corresponding to the terminal 4. Accordingly, the third message is used to instruct the network device to remove the terminal 3 and the terminal 4.

3. Q < K, and Q is not equal to 1

If Q is less than K, the first terminal instructs the network device to remove the K second terminals by sending Q third messages, wherein the Q third messages comprise the identifications corresponding to the K second terminals respectively.

For example, the terminals participating in the teleconference include a first terminal (i.e., terminal 1) and 4 second terminals, where the 4 second terminals are terminal 2, terminal 3, terminal 4, and terminal 5, respectively, terminal 2 corresponds to 1 identifier (the identifier is a1), terminal 3 corresponds to 2 identifiers (the 2 identifiers are b1 and b2, respectively), and terminal 5 corresponds to 1 identifier (the identifier is d 1). When terminal 1 wants to remove terminal 2 and terminal 3, terminal 1 sends a first message to the network device, the first message is used for instructing the network device to remove terminal 3 in the teleconference, and the first message includes identifier b1 corresponding to terminal 3. The network device executes the removing operation according to the 1 or more first messages, and then sends 1 or more second messages to the terminal 1 to indicate that the terminal 1 does not successfully remove the terminal 3; the terminal 1 may continue to send 1 or more third messages to the network device, where the 1 or more third messages are used to instruct the network device to remove the terminal 3, the terminal 4, and the terminal 5.
