Abstract

This application discloses a conference terminal and a control method and apparatus thereof, and belongs to the field of computer technologies. The method is applied to the conference terminal, and the conference terminal displays a graphical interface. The method includes: receiving a clone interface starting instruction, where the clone interface starting instruction instructs to display a clone interface of the graphical interface on the conference terminal; displaying the clone interface on the conference terminal in response to the clone interface starting instruction; receiving a user operation instruction executed on the clone interface; and in response to the user operation instruction, performing, on the clone interface, an operation instructed by the user operation instruction.

Claims (38)

1. A conference terminal control method, applied to a conference terminal, the method comprising:

receiving a clone interface starting instruction instructing to display a clone interface of a graphical interface on the conference terminal;

displaying the clone interface on the conference terminal in response to the clone interface starting instruction;

receiving a user operation instruction executed on the clone interface; and

in response to the user operation instruction, performing, on the clone interface, an operation instructed by the user operation instruction.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a display area of the clone interface is less than a display area of a cloned area of the graphical interface.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a display area of the clone interface is greater than a display area of a cloned area of the graphical interface.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the clone interface starting instruction is triggered by using a touchscreen of the conference terminal, the clone interface starting instruction is triggered by using a key of the conference terminal, the clone interface starting instruction is a voice instruction, or the clone interface starting instruction is a limb instruction.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the displaying the clone interface on the conference terminal in response to the clone interface starting instruction comprises:

determining an attribute parameter of the clone interface in response to the clone interface starting instruction, wherein the attribute parameter comprises one or more of the following: a size, a display position, or a position of the cloned area of the graphical interface; and

displaying the clone interface on the conference terminal based on the attribute parameter.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the size of the clone interface is determined based on any one of the following: a parameter input on a setting interface of the conference terminal, a parameter input through voice control, a parameter input through limb control, or a parameter automatically determined based on a user posture.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the display position of the clone interface is determined based on any one of the following: a parameter input on a setting interface of the conference terminal, a parameter input through voice control, a parameter input through limb control, a parameter automatically determined based on a user-touchable area, or a parameter automatically determined based on a position of an orthographic projection of a user's face on a display screen of the conference terminal.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the position of the cloned area is determined based on any one of the following: a parameter input on a setting interface of the conference terminal, a parameter input through voice control, a parameter input through limb control, a parameter automatically determined based on a user-touchable area, or a parameter automatically determined based on a position of an orthographic projection of a user's face on a display screen of the conference terminal.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein after the displaying the clone interface on the conference terminal in response to the clone interface starting instruction, the method further comprises:

receiving a clone interface adjustment instruction instructing to adjust the attribute parameter of the clone interface, wherein the attribute parameter comprises one or more of the following: the size, the display position, or the position of the cloned area of the graphical interface; and

displaying the clone interface based on an adjusted attribute parameter in response to the clone interface adjustment instruction.

10. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:

receiving a clone interface closing instruction instructing to stop displaying the clone interface on the conference terminal; and

in response to the clone interface closing instruction, stopping displaying the clone interface on the conference terminal.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein before the stopping displaying the clone interface on the conference terminal, the method further comprises:

displaying, in response to the clone interface closing instruction, a message of asking to quit a display mode of the clone interface or minimize the clone interface.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user operation instruction instructs any one of the following: entering a conference interface, quitting the conference interface, adjusting a presentation mode of a conference, adjusting presented content of the conference, or inputting conference content on the clone interface.

13. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:

when displaying the clone interface on the conference terminal, displaying the graphical interface on which processing has been performed, wherein the processing comprises any one of the following: blurring processing or graffiti processing.

14. A conference terminal, comprising: a display screen, a memory, and a processor, wherein the memory stores program instructions, and the processor runs the program instructions to perform the method comprising:

receiving a clone interface starting instruction instructing to display a clone interface of a graphical interface on the conference terminal;

displaying the clone interface on the conference terminal in response to the clone interface starting instruction;

receiving a user operation instruction executed on the clone interface; and

in response to the user operation instruction, performing, on the clone interface, an operation instructed by the user operation instruction.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein a display area of the clone interface is less than a display area of a cloned area of the graphical interface.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein a display area of the clone interface is greater than a display area of a cloned area of the graphical interface.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising program instructions, wherein when the program instructions are run on a computer device, the computer device is enabled to perform the method comprising:

receiving a clone interface starting instruction instructing to display a clone interface of a graphical interface on the conference terminal;

displaying the clone interface on the conference terminal in response to the clone interface starting instruction;

receiving a user operation instruction executed on the clone interface; and

in response to the user operation instruction, performing, on the clone interface, an operation instructed by the user operation instruction.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein a display area of the clone interface is less than a display area of a cloned area of the graphical interface.
