The above aspects and other aspects of the present invention will become more apparent from the following non-limiting detailed description of specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Please refer to the first figure, which illustrates a system architecture diagram of a specific embodiment of the online conference system of the present invention. As shown in the embodiment of the first figure, the online conference system 100 may include a database 110 and a server 120. The server 120 accesses the database 110, and the server 120 is communicatively connected to a plurality of first computer devices (i.e., the first computer devices 900A, 900B...900N in the figure). Multiple users can respectively communicate with the server 120 of the online conference system 100 through one of the first computer devices 900A, 900B...900N, and conduct an online conference. The first computer device can be, for example, a mobile phone, a computer, a processing device, a mobile device, etc., but is not limited thereto. In a specific embodiment, the server 120 may include a transmission module, and the server 120 may be connected to the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N by communication (wireless or wired as required). The server 120 may also transmit data (such as command data, image data, picture data, text data, etc., but not limited thereto) to the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N, or receive data (such as command data, image data, picture data, text data, etc., but not limited thereto) from the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N through the transmission module.

Preferably, when an online conference is being held, the server 120 transmits the image data and/or voice data generated (or recorded) in the conference to the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N. In this way, users participating in the conference can watch the image and/or listen to the audio of the online conference through the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N. Preferably, the database 110 may include one or more processors, and implement the functions of the database 110 in a manner of hardware and software collaboration. The server 120 may include one or more processors, and implement the functions of the server 120 and the modules included therein in a manner of hardware and software collaboration. The first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N may each include one or more processors, and implement the functions of the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N in a collaborative manner of hardware and software.

In the embodiment shown in the first figure, the database 110 can store one or more judgment data, and each of the one or more judgment data is respectively associated with at least one of the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N. Before or during the online meeting, the server 120 can divide the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N into a first computer device group and a second computer device group according to the one or more judgment data in the database 110, and the server 120 can further generate label data. The label data indicates the first computer device group. Then, the server 120 may decide, based on the marking data, that the data transmission mode of the first computer device group adopts a two-way transmission mode, and the data transmission mode of the second computer device group adopts a one-way transmission mode in the online conference. It should be understood that by making the data transmission mode of the second computer device group adopt a one-way transmission mode, the server 120 can save data processing resources and/or data transmission resources. In this way, the situation that the online conference is severely delayed or even interrupted due to excessive data transmission volume can be reduced or avoided.

Preferably, the server 120 may first determine the first computer device group from the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N according to one or more judgment data and a predetermined value data in the database 110. The predetermined value data indicates a predetermined value, and the number of computer devices included in the first computer device group is less than or equal to the predetermined value. Then, the server 120 may list the remaining computer devices in the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N, except the first computer device group, into the second computer device group. In this way, the server 120 can divide the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N into the first computer device group and the second computer device group. Preferably, if the total number of the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N is greater than the predetermined value indicated by the predetermined value data, the number of computer devices included in the first computer device group is equal to the predetermined value. Preferably, a user (such as a meeting initiator, but not limited thereto) can adjust the predetermined value of the predetermined value data as needed during and/or before the meeting.

In a specific embodiment, a computer device using a two-way transmission method can receive data (such as command data, image data, picture data, text data, etc., but not limited thereto) from the server 120 and/or the database 110, and can also transmit data (such as command data, image data, picture data, text data, etc., but not limited thereto) to the server 120 and/or the database 110. A computer device using a one-way transmission method can receive data (such as command data, image data, picture data, text data, etc., but not limited thereto) from the server 120 and/or the database 110, but will not transmit data to the server 120 and/or the database 110.

In another specific embodiment, a computer device using a two-way transmission method can receive data (such as command data, image data, picture data, text data, etc., but not limited thereto) from the server 120 and/or the database 110, and can also transmit data (such as command data, image data, picture data, text data, etc., but not limited thereto) to the server 120 and/or the database 110. A computer device using a one-way transmission method can receive data (such as command data, image data, picture data, text data, etc., but not limited thereto) from the server 120 and/or the database 110, but will not transmit specific data (such as image data and/or voice data) to the server 120 and/or the database 110. For example, a computer device using a one-way transmission method may only transmit necessary data (such as command data) and/or data that takes up less transmission resources (such as text data), but will not transmit image data and/or audio and video data to the server 120 and/or the database 110.

In a specific embodiment, the server 120 may include an artificial intelligence module. The server 120 uses the artificial intelligence module to divide the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N into a first computer device group and a second computer device group according to one or more judgment data. In a specific embodiment, the server 120 may allow the image playback and/or voice playback of the second computer device group to have a delay time (the delay time may be, for example, 1 to several seconds, but not limited thereto) in an online conference. In this way, the server 120 can transmit the data (such as image data or voice data, but not limited thereto) to the second computer device group after the delay time. Thus, during the delay time, the server 120 can process or transmit data related to the first computer device group first, without having to process or transmit data required by the first computer device group and the second computer device group simultaneously, thereby reducing or avoiding the situation where the online conference is seriously delayed or even interrupted due to excessive data processing or data transmission.

In a specific embodiment, the first computer device 900A, 900B ... 900N may include a second computer device, and the one or more judgment data stored in the database 110 may include voice recording data and a first user identity data. The first user identity data is associated with the voice recording data, and the first user identity data is associated with the second computer device. The first user identity data indicates a user currently using the second computer device, and the voice recording data indicates the frequency of the user using the voice function of the conference system (that is, the voice recording data indicates the frequency of the user speaking in the conference). The server 120 may include the second computer device in the first computer device group based on the voice recording data being greater than a predetermined threshold. In this way, the second computer device used by the user with a higher speaking frequency in the online conference can be included in the first computer device group. Preferably, the voice recording data can be historical data, which indicates the total number of speeches or the total speaking time or the speaking probability of the user in previous online conferences (the speaking probability refers to the proportion of the user speaking in previous online conferences).

In a specific embodiment, the database 110 stores permission data, the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N may include a second computer device, and the one or more determination data stored in the database 110 may include a first user identity data, and the first user identity data indicates an identity (such as a position, but not limited to this) of a user using the second computer device. The server 120 may include the second computer device in the first computer device group (i.e., include the second computer device in the first computer device group) based on the first user identity data being consistent with the permission data. Preferably, the permission data may indicate one or more specific identities. For example, the authority data may indicate multiple positions (such as chairman, general manager, manager), and when the identity indicated by the first user's identity data is one of the multiple positions indicated by the authority data (for example, the identity indicated by the first user's identity data is manager), the first user's identity data may be deemed to comply with the authority data.

In a specific embodiment, the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N may include a second computer device, and the one or more determination data stored in the database 110 may include a first user identity data, and the first user identity data indicates an identity of a user using the second computer device (so that the first user identity data can be regarded as associated with the second computer device). The server 120 may include the second computer device in the first computer device group based on the first user identity data matching an online conference data, and the online conference data is associated with the current online conference. Preferably, the online conference data indicates a specific user associated with the current online conference. For example, if the online conference data indicates that the current online conference is an online conference of the human resources department, it means that the current online conference is related to the members of the human resources department. At this time, if the first user identity data indicates that the identity of the user using the second computer device is a member of the human resources department, it can be regarded that the first user identity data conforms to the online conference data. Preferably, the online conference data can be generated before the online conference starts or during the online conference, for example, by a user (such as a user in the current online conference, but not limited to this) inputting it into the server 120 or transmitting it to the server 120. In a specific embodiment, the online conference data is pre-stored in the database 110.

Continuing with the above-mentioned specific embodiment, the online conference data is associated with the current online conference, the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N may further include a third computer device, and the one or more judgment data stored in the database 110 may further include second user identity data. The second user identity data is associated with the third computer device (that is, the user corresponding to the second user identity data uses the third computer device in the current online conference). The server 120 may include the third computer device in the first computer device group based on the first user identity data being associated with the second user identity data and the first user identity data being consistent with the online conference data. For example, if the first user identity data indicates a first user, the second user identity data indicates a second user, and the first user and the second user belong to the same team (for example, the same R&D team, or the same product team, etc., but not limited thereto), then the first user identity data can be regarded as being associated with the second user identity data. Preferably, the one or more determination data stored in the database 110 may further include association data, and the association data indicates that the first user identity data is associated with the second user identity data. The server 120 determines that the first user identity data is associated with the second user identity data based on the association data.

In a specific embodiment, the server 120 may sort the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N according to one or more judgment data stored in the database 110 to generate sorted data. The server 120 may also divide the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N into a first computer device group and a second computer device group according to the sorted data, and generate label data. For example, the server 120 may use one or more judgment data to judge or calculate each of the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N, and generate corresponding integral data. Then, the server 120 may sort the plurality of integral data to generate sorted data. Then, the server 120 may include the first computer devices ranked at the front into the first computer device group according to the sorting data, and the rest into the second computer device group.

In a specific embodiment, the first computer devices 900A, 900B, ... 900N may include a fourth computer device, and the second computer device group includes the fourth computer device. The server 120 may receive a voice use instruction from the fourth computer device, and the server 120 may move the fourth computer device from the second computer device group to the first computer device group based on the voice use instruction. In detail, when the fourth computer device originally in the second computer device group uses the voice function, the fourth computer device will send a voice use instruction to the server 120 to indicate that the user wants to speak in the online conference through the fourth computer device. At this time, the server 120 will change the fourth computer device to be included in the first computer device group, so that the data transmission method of the fourth computer device can adopt a two-way transmission method. In a specific embodiment, the user of the fourth computer device needs to actively trigger the voice function (for example, the user activates the speaking function), and then the fourth computer device will send the voice use instruction to the server 120. In another specific embodiment, the server 120 and/or the fourth computer device can determine whether the user is speaking (for example, it can determine whether the user is speaking based on the sound sensor on the fourth computer device), and then the fourth computer device generates (can be automatically generated) and sends the voice use instruction to the server 120.

In a specific embodiment, the server 120 may increase the first image playback speed and/or the first voice playback speed of the fourth computer device within the first predetermined time based on the voice use instruction. In addition, in a specific embodiment, the server 120 may reduce the second image playback speed and/or the second voice playback speed of the remaining computer devices in the first computer device group except the fourth computer device within the first predetermined time based on the voice use instruction. In detail, since the fourth computer device was originally listed in the second computer device group, the image playback and/or voice playback of the fourth computer device has a delay time, thereby having a time difference with the image and/or audio played by each computer device in the first computer device group. Therefore, when the server 120 changes the fourth computer device to be included in the first computer device group, the server 120 will speed up the first image playback speed and/or the first voice playback speed of the fourth computer device within the first predetermined time; or slow down the second image playback speed and/or the second voice playback speed of each computer device originally in the first computer device group within the first predetermined time. In this way, the image and/or audio time difference between the fourth computer device and each computer device originally in the first computer device group can be eliminated. Of course, the server 120 can also speed up the first image playback speed and/or the first voice playback speed of the fourth computer device within the first predetermined time, and slow down the second image playback speed and/or the second voice playback speed of each computer device originally in the first computer device group, so as to eliminate the image and/or audio time difference therebetween.

In a specific embodiment, the first computer device group may include a fifth computer device and a sixth computer device, and the first computer devices 900A, 900B, ... 900N may include a seventh computer device. The server 120 may receive the first image data from the fifth computer device and the second image data from the sixth computer device, and the server 120 may enable the seventh computer device to play the first image data. When the server 120 receives a selection instruction from the seventh computer device, the server 120 may, based on the selection instruction, enable the seventh computer device to stop playing the first image data and enable the seventh computer device to play the second image data. Preferably, the first image data is the current image data of the fifth computer device in the online conference, and the second image data is the current image data of the sixth computer device in the online conference. In a specific embodiment, the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N include an eighth computer device. The server 120 can receive a third image data from each of the first computer device group, and the server 120 can also enable the eighth computer device to play at least one of the plurality of third image data. Preferably, each third image data is the current image data of the corresponding computer device in the online conference.

In a specific embodiment, the server 120 may receive one or more response data from the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N within the second predetermined time, and the server 120 may generate image data (such as an image of an expression or an image of a like, etc., but not limited thereto) based on the one or more response data. In addition, the server 120 may generate image display size data based on the amount of the one or more response data, and associate the image data with the image display size data. The server 120 may also transmit the image data and the image display size data to at least one of the first computer devices 900A, 900B ... 900N. For example, when the server 120 receives a plurality of matching expression commands (these expression commands can be regarded as response data, and these expression commands can be, for example, smiley face image commands, but not limited thereto) from the first computer devices 900A, 900B, ... 900N within the second predetermined time, the server 120 can generate image data (which can be, for example, smiley face image data, but not limited thereto) according to the expression commands. In addition, the server 120 will also generate image display size data according to the number of received expression commands, so as to determine the image display size of the image data on each first computer device. In this way, when each first computer device receives the image data and the image display size data associated therewith, the display size of the image data can be determined according to the image display size data. Preferably, the more response data the server 120 receives within the second predetermined time, the larger the image display size indicated by the image display size data.

Please refer to the second figure, which illustrates a flowchart of a specific embodiment of the online conference method according to the present invention. As shown in the embodiment of the second figure, the online conference method 200 can be applied to an online conference system, and the online conference system can enable a plurality of first computer devices to conduct an online conference. Among them, the online conference system includes a database and a server, the server can access the database, and the server is communicatively connected to the plurality of first computer devices. The database stores one or more judgment data, each of which is respectively associated with at least one of the plurality of first computer devices. The online conference method 200 starts at step 210, where the server divides a plurality of first computer devices into a first computer device group and a second computer device group according to one or more judgment data, and generates a marking data. The marking data indicates the first computer device group. Then, step 220 is performed, where the server makes the data transmission mode of the first computer device group adopt a two-way transmission mode and the data transmission mode of the second computer device group adopt a one-way transmission mode in the online conference according to the marking data. It should be understood that by making the data transmission mode of the second computer device group adopt a one-way transmission mode, the server can save data processing resources and/or data transmission resources. This can reduce or avoid serious delays or even interruptions of online meetings due to excessive data transmission.

Preferably, step 210 of the online conference method 200 may further include: the server determines the first computer device group from the plurality of first computer devices according to one or more determination data and a predetermined value data; and the server includes the remaining computer devices in the plurality of first computer devices, except the first computer device group, into the second computer device group. The predetermined value data indicates a predetermined value, and the number of computer devices included in the first computer device group is less than or equal to the predetermined value.

In a specific embodiment, the server may include an artificial intelligence module. The server uses the artificial intelligence module to divide a plurality of first computer devices into a first computer device group and a second computer device group according to one or more judgment data. In a specific embodiment, the online conference method 200 may further include: the server causes the image playback and/or voice playback of the second computer device group to have a delay time during the online conference. In this way, the server can transmit data (such as image data or voice data, but not limited to this) to the second computer device group after the delay time. Thus, during the delay time, the server can prioritize processing or transmitting data related to the first computer device group, without having to instantly and simultaneously process or transmit data required by the first computer device group and the second computer device group, thereby reducing or avoiding serious delays or even interruptions of online meetings due to excessive data processing or data transmission.

In a specific embodiment, a plurality of first computer devices may include a second computer device, and one or more determination data may include voice recording data and first user identity data. The first user identity data is associated with the voice recording data, and the first user identity data is associated with the second computer device. The first user identity data indicates the user currently using the second computer device, and the voice recording data indicates the frequency of the user using the voice function of the conference system (that is, the voice recording data indicates the frequency of the user speaking in the conference). The online conference method 200 may further include: the server causes the first computer device group to include the second computer device based on the voice recording data being greater than a predetermined threshold. Preferably, the voice recording data may be historical data, which indicates the total number of times the user spoke, the total speaking time, or the speaking probability (the speaking probability refers to the proportion of the user speaking in the previous online meetings) of the user in previous online meetings.

In a specific embodiment, a database stores permission data, a plurality of first computer devices include a second computer device, and one or more judgment data include a first user identity data. The first user identity data indicates an identity of a user using the second computer device. The online conference method 200 may further include: the server causes the first computer device group to include the second computer device based on the first user identity data being consistent with the permission data. Preferably, the permission data may indicate one or more specific identities. For example, the permission data may indicate one or more levels (e.g., a first level and a second level), and when the identity indicated by the first user identity data belongs to one of the one or more levels indicated by the permission data, the first user identity data may be deemed to be consistent with the permission data.

In a specific embodiment, a plurality of first computer devices may include a second computer device, and one or more determination data may include first user identity data. The first user identity data indicates the identity of the user using the second computer device. The online conference method 200 may further include: the server causes the first computer device group to include the second computer device based on the first user identity data matching an online conference data, and the online conference data is associated with the current online conference. Preferably, the online conference data indicates a specific user associated with the current online conference. For example, if the online conference data indicates that the current online conference is an online conference of the human resources department, it means that the current online conference is associated with members of the human resources department. At this time, if the first user identity data indicates that the user using the second computer device is a member of the human resources department, the first user identity data can be regarded as matching the online conference data. Preferably, the online conference data can be generated before the online conference starts or during the online conference, for example, input to the server or transmitted to the server by a user (such as a user in the current online conference or an administrator of the online conference system, but not limited thereto). In a specific embodiment, the online conference data is pre-stored in a database.

Continuing with the above specific embodiment, the plurality of first computer devices may include a third computer device, and one or more determination data may include second user identity data. The second user identity data is associated with the third computer device (that is, the user corresponding to the second user identity data uses the third computer device in the current online conference), and the online conference data is associated with the current online conference. The online conference method 200 may further include: the server causes the first computer device group to include the third computer device based on the association of the first user identity data with the second user identity data, and the first user identity data matches the online conference data. For example, if the first user identity data indicates a first user, the second user identity data indicates a second user, and the first user and the second user belong to the same team (for example, the same R&D team, or the same product team, etc., but not limited thereto), then the first user identity data can be regarded as being associated with the second user identity data. Preferably, the one or more determination data stored in the database may further include association data, and the association data indicates that the first user identity data is associated with the second user identity data. The server determines that the first user identity data is associated with the second user identity data based on the association data.

In a specific embodiment, the online conference method 200 may further include: the server sorts the plurality of first computer devices according to one or more judgment data to generate sorting data; and the server divides the plurality of first computer devices into a first computer device group and a second computer device group according to the sorting data, and generates identification data. For example, the server may use one or more judgment data to judge or calculate each of the plurality of first computer devices, and generate corresponding integral data. Then, the server may sort the plurality of integral data to generate sorting data. Then, the server may include the first computer devices ranked at the front into the first computer device group and the first computer devices ranked at the back into the second computer device group according to the sorting data.

In a specific embodiment, the plurality of first computer devices may include a fourth computer device, and the second computer device group includes the fourth computer device. The online conference method 200 may further include: receiving a voice use instruction from the fourth computer device by the server; and moving the fourth computer device from the second computer device group to the first computer device group based on the voice use instruction by the server. In detail, when the fourth computer device originally in the second computer device group uses the voice function, the fourth computer device will send a voice use instruction to the server to indicate that the user wants to speak in the online conference through the fourth computer device. At this time, the server will change the fourth computer device to be included in the first computer device group, so that the data transmission method of the fourth computer device can adopt a two-way transmission method. In one specific embodiment, the user of the fourth computer device needs to actively trigger the voice function (for example, the user activates the speaking function), and then the fourth computer device will send the voice use instruction to the server. In another specific embodiment, the server 120 and/or the fourth computer device can determine whether the user is speaking (for example, it can determine whether the user is speaking based on the sound sensor on the fourth computer device), and then the fourth computer device generates and sends the voice use instruction to the server.

Continuing from the above specific embodiment, the online conference method 200 may further include: the server increases the image playback speed and/or voice playback speed of the fourth computer device within the first predetermined time based on the voice use instruction. In a specific embodiment, the online conference method 200 may further include: the server reduces the image playback speed and/or voice playback speed of the remaining computer devices in the first computer device group except the fourth computer device within the first predetermined time based on the voice use instruction. In detail, since the fourth computer device was originally listed in the second computer device group, the image playback and/or voice playback of the fourth computer device has a delay time, thereby having a time difference with the image and/or audio played by each computer device in the first computer device group. Therefore, when the server changes the fourth computer device to be included in the first computer device group, the server will speed up the first image playback speed and/or the first voice playback speed of the fourth computer device within the first predetermined time; or slow down the second image playback speed and/or the second voice playback speed of each computer device originally in the first computer device group within the first predetermined time. In this way, the image and/or audio time difference between the fourth computer device and each computer device originally in the first computer device group can be eliminated. Of course, the server can also speed up the first image playback speed and/or the first voice playback speed of the fourth computer device within the first predetermined time, and slow down the second image playback speed and/or the second voice playback speed of each computer device originally in the first computer device group, so as to eliminate the image and/or audio time difference therebetween.

In a specific embodiment, the first computer device group may include a fifth computer device and a sixth computer device, and the plurality of first computer devices may include a seventh computer device. The online conference method 200 may further include: the server receives the first image data from the fifth computer device and receives the second image data from the sixth computer device; the server causes the seventh computer device to play the first image data; the server receives the selection instruction from the seventh computer device; and the server causes the seventh computer device to stop playing the first image data and causes the seventh computer device to play the second image data based on the selection instruction. In a specific embodiment, the plurality of first computer devices may include an eighth computer device. The online conference method 200 may further include: receiving a third image data from each of the first computer device group by the server; and causing the eighth computer device to play at least one of the plurality of third image data by the server.

In a specific embodiment, the online conference method 200 may further include: receiving one or more response data from a plurality of first computer devices by the server within a second predetermined time; generating image data (such as, but not limited to, emoticon images or like images) by the server based on the one or more response data; generating image display size data by the server based on the quantity of the one or more response data, and associating the image data with the image display size data; and transmitting the image data and the image display size data to at least one of the plurality of first computer devices by the server. For example, when the server receives a plurality of matching expression commands (these expression commands can be regarded as response data, and these expression commands can be, for example, smiley face image commands, but not limited thereto) from a plurality of first computer devices within the second predetermined time, the server 120 can generate image data (which can be, for example, smiley face image data, but not limited thereto) according to the expression commands. In addition, the server 120 will also generate image display size data according to the number of received expression commands to determine the image display size of the image data on each first computer device. In this way, when each first computer device receives the image data and the image display size data associated therewith, the display size of the image data can be determined according to the image display size data. Preferably, the more response data the server receives within the second predetermined time, the larger the image display size indicated by the image display size data.
