Processing method for video conference and server using the method
View Patent ↗In a processing method for a video conference, start speaking events and end speaking events of endpoints joined in the video conference are detected. Video streaming of a speaking endpoint is displayed in a speaking area of a foreground window of a display device. A current time “t”, a duration time “T” of the video conference, a start speaking time “s i ” and an end speaking time “e i ” of the endpoints are recorded. Real-time activity scores of each of the endpoints are calculated and updated according to video recording contents. Video streaming of non-speaking endpoints are displayed in corresponding areas of the display device according to the calculated activity scores.
1. A computer-implemented method, executable by a processor of a server, the method comprising:
detecting start speaking events and end speaking events of endpoints joined in a video conference;
displaying video streaming of a speaking endpoint in a speaking area of a foreground window of a display device;
recording a current time “t”, a duration time “T” of the video conference, a start speaking time “s i ” and an end speaking time “e i ” of each of the endpoints;
calculating and updating real-time activity scores of each of the endpoints according to video recording contents; and
displaying video streaming of non-speaking endpoints in corresponding areas of the display device according to the calculated activity scores.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying video streaming of a non-speaking endpoint in a non-speaking area of the foreground window, in event an activity score of the non-speaking endpoint is not less than a first preset value;
displaying the video streaming of the non-speaking endpoint in a background window of the display device, in event the activity score of the non-speaking endpoint is less than the first preset value and greater than a second preset value; or
stopping displaying the video streaming of the non-speaking endpoint, in event the activity score of the non-speaking endpoint is not greater than the second preset value.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the activity score S is calculated according to a formula represented as

where t i =e i −s i , and Δt i =t−e i .
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the speaking area is located at the center of the foreground window while the non-speaking area is located around the speaking area.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the speaking area is located at the top of the foreground window, the non-speaking area is located at the bottom of the foreground window, and the dimensions of the speaking area are greater than the dimensions of the non-speaking area.
6. A non-transitory storage medium, storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions being executed by a processor of a server, to perform a method comprising:
detecting start speaking events and end speaking events of endpoints joined in a video conference;
displaying video streaming of a speaking endpoint in a speaking area of a foreground window of a display device;
recording a current time “t”, a duration time “T” of the video conference, a start speaking time “s i ” and an end speaking time “e i ” of the endpoints;
calculating and updating real-time activity scores of each of the endpoints according to video recording contents; and
displaying video streaming of non-speaking endpoints in corresponding areas of the display device according to the calculated activity scores.
7. The non-transitory storage medium as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the method further comprises:
displaying video streaming of a non-speaking endpoint in a non-speaking area of the foreground window, in event an activity score of the non-speaking endpoint is not less than a first preset value;
displaying the video streaming of the non-speaking endpoint in a background window of the display device, in event the activity score of the non-speaking endpoint is less than the first preset value and greater than a second preset value; or
stopping displaying the video streaming of the non-speaking endpoint, in event the activity score of the non-speaking endpoint is not greater than the second preset value.
8. The non-transitory storage medium as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the activity score S is calculated according to a formula represented as

where t i =e i −s i , and Δt i =t−e i .
9. The non-transitory storage medium as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the speaking area is located at the center of the foreground window while the non-speaking area is located around the speaking area.
10. The non-transitory storage medium as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the speaking area is located at the top of the foreground window, the non-speaking area is located at the bottom of the foreground window, and the dimensions of the speaking area are greater than the dimensions of the non-speaking area.
11. A server, the server comprising:
at least one processor;
a storage unit; and
one or more programs that are stored in the storage unit and executed by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:
detecting start speaking events and end speaking events of endpoints joined in a video conference;
displaying video streaming of a speaking endpoint in a speaking area of a foreground window of a display device;
recording a current time “t”, a duration time “T” of the video conference, a start speaking time “s i ” and an end speaking time “e i ” of each of the endpoints;
calculating and updating real-time activity scores of each of the endpoints according to video recording contents; and
displaying video streaming of non-speaking endpoints in corresponding areas of the display device according to the calculated activity scores.
12. The server as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the one or more programs further comprises instructions for:
displaying video streaming of a non-speaking endpoint in a non-speaking area of the foreground window, in event an activity score of the non-speaking endpoint is not less than a first preset value;
displaying the video streaming of the non-speaking endpoint in a background window of the display device, in event the activity score of the non-speaking endpoint is less than the first preset value and greater than a second preset value; or
stopping displaying the video streaming of the non-speaking endpoint, in event the activity score of the non-speaking endpoint is not greater than the second preset value.
