step 700), sending the attention information of the multiple participants to a server, and sending the attention information to a conference Host by the server and displaying the attention levels of the multiple participants on an interface;
step 800), repeatedly performing steps 500) to 700) at predetermined intervals.
In the network video conference, in order to clearly explain technical contents related to the conference, a speaker shares a personal desktop to participants, conference software is used for obtaining video data streams of the speaker shared desktop and shared desktop display parameters of the speaker through an image acquisition module, and the obtained video data streams are processed to obtain image data signals. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a shared desktop of a speaker in an embodiment of the present invention, where fig. 1 corresponds to a view of the shared desktop at a certain time, and in essence, information on a display desktop of the speaker in a conference is acquired in a video data stream manner, the image acquisition module also acquires display parameters of the shared desktop of the speaker, that is, a length-width ratio of a display screen, and the image acquisition module processes the acquired video data stream and the acquired display parameters and converts the video data stream and the display parameters into image data signals for subsequent participant terminal devices to receive.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a display of a presenter sharing desktop on a participant desktop according to an embodiment of the present invention; in the conference process, after the obtained image data signals are sent to the participant terminal equipment, the image data signals are converted into digital signals through an image processing module, display parameters of a shared desktop of a speaker are extracted from the digital signals according to the shared desktop of the speaker, the display parameters are displayed on the participant terminal equipment in a display area of video conference software in a maximized mode according to the display parameters, and audio information is played synchronously. "participant shared desktop picture" refers to a window of the network video conference system displaying interaction on the participant's desktop, and not only includes the desktop shared by the speaker (if the desktop is being shared). For shared desktop displays, because the ratio of the presenter display is different from the ratio of the participant displays, a common approach used in the industry is: the content of the desktop of the speaker occupies the window as much as possible according to the length-width ratio of the display (display desktop) of the speaker, other vacant parts are filled with default colors, and meanwhile, the window can display other module components such as videos, participants and the like. The speaker's shared desktop in fig. 2 is displayed in a maximized manner according to the speaker's display desktop aspect ratio.
Based on the area S1 of the lecturer sharing desktop in the participant display screen and the area S2 of the participant display screen obtained in the state where the lecturer sharing desktop is maximally displayed as shown in fig. 2, a participant screen normalization parameter P is determined according to the obtained areas S1 and S2, where P = S2/S1. The purpose of implementing the above steps is to provide a standard executable parameter for the difference of the displays of different participants, so that the area of the shared desktop of the speaker in the display screen of the participants, which is measured in real time in the subsequent process, can be used for measuring the conference attention of the participants.
During the conference, the participants may perform operations on the display screen, which include: the size of the conference software display window is changed, other programs are operated, and the like, at the moment, the size change of the conference software display window or the opening of other program windows influences the size of the shared table area of the speaker displayed in the conference software display window, for example, the size of the conference software display window is respectively reduced by half according to the length and the width, and the shared table area of the speaker displayed in the conference software display window is reduced to be one fourth of the original size. If the new program window that the participant is running on is located above the shared desktop of the presenter displayed in the conferencing software display window, it may be partially or fully obscured and the attention of the participant is correspondingly diminished. The invention reflects the attention change of the participants through the change of the sharing desktop area of the speaker displayed in the display window of the network video conference software. To dynamically show the attention of the participants, steps 500) to 700) need to be repeatedly executed at predetermined intervals, which may be determined according to actual needs, such as 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds … …, and the like.
In the process of specifically calculating the attention, the attention of the participant is determined according to the area S2 of the display screen of the participant, the area S1' of the shared desktop of the speaker in the real-time display screen of the participant and the normalization parameters of the screen of the participant, and the specific calculation formula is as follows: participant focus = P × S1'/S2 x 100%. Therefore, the attention of the participants can be objectively reflected by the proportion of the size of the content display window.
As mentioned above, the area S1 'of the participant' S display screen where the speaker shares the desktop may be manually adjusted or may be masked and then changed in size, and the manual change may be calculated by the network video conference software based on the actual display size. For the masked case, separate calculations are needed. As shown in fig. 3 and 4, on the display desktop of the participants, the speaker sharing desktop in the participant network video conference window (i.e. the speaker sharing desktop in the participant display screen) is partially covered by other windows, and then the area actually displayed by the participant network video conference window is calculated through the following steps:
step 501), acquiring other windows displayed on a shared desktop of a speaker in a display screen of a current participant to be judged;
step 502), acquiring the rectangular information of the other windows;
step 503), calculating the intersecting area of the shared desktop of the speaker in the other windows and the display screen of the current participant;
and step 504), subtracting the intersected area from the current network video conference window to obtain the area of the shared desktop of the speaker in the participant display screen.
Through the steps, the intersecting area of the shared desktop of the speaker in the display screen of the front participant when other windows are covered can be obtained.
For the situation of participation of multiple persons, in order to quickly and intuitively browse the attention degree situation of the participants, the attention degree can be divided into various levels. The attention degree grades are determined by the numerical range of attention degrees of the participants, and the division rules of the grades can be selected according to actual conditions, which is not described herein again. Besides, the colors can be set to represent different attention degrees, such as green, yellow, and red, which respectively correspond to different attention degree range values. Detailed attention values may be set, or various types of shapes may be provided that indicate different attention levels. The participants may also be sorted by the size of the attention. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of attention capture and display among participants in an embodiment of the invention. The participants update their attention to the server in real time, the server sends the attention to the conference Host, and finally the attention of each participant is displayed on the interface.
