Abstract

The method comprises: Step S1: receiving a media stream pushed by a terminal and determining the camera state of the terminal, if the camera of the terminal is ON, then proceeding to Step S2; if the camera of the terminal is OFF, then proceeding to Step S3; Step S2: displaying the media stream of the terminal in a predetermined size in a first predetermined area; and Step S3: displaying the media stream of the terminal in a reduced size in a second predetermined area. Disclosed in embodiments of the present application is a method for presenting information of video conference participants, which enables a participant to intuitively learn information about other participants, by showing their information in the first area or the second area presented locally based on the camera state of their respective terminals, thus greatly improving the conference communication efficiency and the user experience.

Claims (37)

1 . A method for presenting information of video conference participants, characterized in that the method comprises:

S 1 : receiving a media stream pushed by a terminal and determining a camera state of the terminal, if the camera state of the terminal is ON, then proceeding to S 2 ; if the camera state of the terminal is OFF, then proceeding to S 3 ;

S 2 : displaying the media stream of the terminal in a predetermined size in a first predetermined area; and

S 3 : displaying the media stream of the terminal in a reduced size in a second predetermined area,

wherein the first predetermined area and the second predetermined area are separate display areas, and

wherein the first predetermined area and the second predetermined area are respectively set as a recording zone first predetermined area and a recording zone second predetermined area when the participant is a panelist, or a non-recording zone first predetermined area and a non-recording zone second predetermined area when the participant is not a panelist.

2 . The method of claim 1 , characterized in that the method further comprises:

receiving a shared file sent by the terminal; and

causing the media stream and/or the shared file to be displayed in a predetermined order in the first predetermined area of the recording zone.

3 . The method of claim 2 , characterized in that the first predetermined area of the recording zone comprises a first sub-area and a second sub-area, where the first sub-area is used for displaying the shared file, and the second sub-area is used for displaying the media stream or streams corresponding to at least one presenter,

wherein the second sub-area is located on a left side and/or a right side of the first sub-area.

4 . The method of claim 3 , characterized in that wherein the media stream or streams corresponding to the presenter or presenters are displayed in an enlarged size in the second sub-area when there are no more than two presenters; and the media streams of the presenters are displayed in a second predetermined size in the second sub-area when there are more than two presenters.

5 . The method of claim 2 , characterized in that wherein the shared file at least comprises: a document, a PPT presentation, a chart, a video, and/or a remote desktop.

6 . The method of claim 1 , characterized in that the method further comprises:

detecting whether there is a voice signal sent by the terminal; and

if there is a voice signal, playing the voice signal.

7 . The method of claim 1 , characterized in that the method further comprises:

adjusting the first area and the second area to a corresponding display scale with a change of the display scale of a display interface.

8 . An apparatus for presenting information of video conference participants, characterized in that the apparatus comprises:

a processor configured to receive a media stream pushed by a terminal and determine a camera state of the terminal,

wherein the processor is further configured to display the media stream of the terminal in a predetermined size in a first predetermined area when the camera state of the terminal is ON,

wherein the processor is further configured to display the media stream of the terminal in a reduced size in a second predetermined area when the camera state of the terminal is OFF,

wherein the first predetermined area and the second predetermined area are separate display areas, and

9 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, characterized in that, having stored thereon a computer program, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to carry out the method for presenting information of video conference participants as defined in claim 1 .

10 . The method of claim 1 , characterized in that the method further comprises:

receiving a shared file sent by the terminal; and

causing the media stream and the shared file to be displayed in a predetermined order in the first predetermined area.

11 . The method of claim 1 , characterized in that the first predetermined area comprises a first sub-area and a second sub-area, where the first sub-area is used for displaying a shared file, and the second sub-area is used for displaying the media stream corresponding to at least one presenter; wherein the second sub-area is located on a left side and/or a right side of the first sub-area.

12 . The method of claim 11 , characterized in that the media stream or streams corresponding to the presenter or presenters are displayed in an enlarged size in the second sub-area when there are no more than two presenters, and

the media streams of the presenters are displayed in a second predetermined size in the second sub-area when there are more than two presenters.

13 . The method of claim 10 , characterized in that the shared file comprises at least one of: a document, a PPT presentation, a chart, a video, or a remote desktop.

14 . A method for presenting information of video conference participants, characterized in that the method comprises:

S 2 : displaying the media stream of the terminal in a predetermined size in a first predetermined area; and

S 3 : displaying the media stream of the terminal in a reduced size in a second predetermined area,

wherein the first predetermined area is further set as a recording zone first predetermined area located in a recording zone of the video conference and/or a non-recording zone first predetermined area located in a non-recording zone of the video conference; the second predetermined area is further set as a recording zone second predetermined area located in the recording zone of the video conference and/or a non-recording zone second predetermined area located in the non-recording zone of the video conference; and the first predetermined area and the second predetermined area are respectively set as, a recording zone first predetermined area and a recording zone second predetermined area when the participant is a panelist, or a non-recording zone first predetermined area and a non-recording zone second predetermined area when the participant is not a panelist.
