As an example, the user with the conference recording authority may be the host of the multimedia conference. Alternatively, the user with the conference recording authority may be the conference participant user designated by the host of the multimedia conference.
When the conference participant user sending the recording instruction has the conference recording authority, the storage data of the multimedia conference is generated based on the multimedia data stream sent by the conference participant user. In this way, the multimedia conference is recorded by the conference participant user with the conference recording authority, so as to ensure a security of content of the multimedia conference.
Furthermore, optionally, the above-mentioned data processing method also includes step 3, the electronic device executing the data processing method for a multimedia conference may send, in response to determining that the user initiating the recording instruction is not the conference participant user with the conference recording authority, recording prompt information to the conference participant user with the conference recording authority.
The order of performing step 2 and step 3 is not limited here.
When the conference participant user sending the recording instruction does not have the conference recording authority, the prompt information may be sent to the conference participant user with the conference recording authority.
In these optional implementations, other conference participant users send the prompt information to the conference participant user with the conference recording authority, so as to ensure that the storage data of the multimedia conference is generated.
In some optional implementations, the recording prompt information may include: an entry for sending the recording instruction to the multimedia conference server.
Here, the recording instruction may be used to instruct the multimedia conference server to generate the storage data of the multimedia conference.
The entry here may be, for example, an option which is arranged on a display interface for displaying the above-mentioned prompt information and which is used to represent sending the recording instruction to the multimedia conference server.
When the recording prompt information includes an entry for sending the recording instruction, the conference participant user with the conference recording authority may send the recording instruction to the multimedia conference server according to the entry, thereby saving the time that the conference participant user with the conference recording authority sends the recording instruction to the multimedia conference server.
Furthermore, the electronic device executing the data processing method for a multimedia conference may perform step 102 by:
generating the storage data of the multimedia conference based on multimedia data stream sent by a conference participant user who agrees to generate the storage data of the multimedia conference.
When the multimedia conference server receives the recording instruction, the multimedia conference server may send inquiry information (the inquiry information here may be a recording request sent by the server), about whether to agree to generate the storage data of the multimedia conference, to multiple conference participant users. Multiple conference participant users may reply information expressing agreement or information expressing disagreement for the inquiry information. After receiving the information expressing agreement sent by at least one conference participant user, the storage data of the multimedia conference is generated based on the multimedia data stream sent by the conference participant user who agrees to generate the storage data of the multimedia conference.
That is, the storage data, corresponding to the multimedia data stream sent by the conference participant user who agrees to generate the storage data of the multimedia conference, may be generated.
Therefore, the multimedia conference is recorded on the premise that the conference participant user agrees to the record, which further ensures the security of multimedia conference information.
In some optional implementations, the electronic device executing the data processing method for a multimedia conference may generate the storage data of the multimedia conference by perform following step 1 and step 2.
Step 1, the electronic device executing the data processing method for a multimedia conference may determine whether all the conference participant users currently agree to generate the storage data of the multimedia conference.
Step 2, the electronic device executing the data processing method for a multimedia conference may, in response to determining that all the conference participant users currently agree to generate the storage data of the multimedia conference, generate the storage data of the multimedia conference based on multimedia data streams sent by all the conference participant users.
The number of conference participant users in the multimedia conference may be two or more. In these optional implementations, the storage data of the multimedia conference may be generated only when all the conference participant users agree to record the multimedia conference. A risk of the content of the multimedia conference being leaked can be further reduced.
In some optional implementations, the electronic device executing the data processing method for a multimedia conference may perform step 102 in the following manner.
Specifically, the electronic device executing the data processing method for a multimedia conference may generate the storage data of the multimedia conference based on audio data streams sent by at least partial users, a video data stream of a target conference participant user of the conference participant user and/or current screen sharing information data of the conference participant user of the multimedia conference.
In some application scenarios, the electronic device executing the data processing method for a multimedia conference may generate the storage data of the multimedia conference based on the audio data streams sent by at least some users.
In these application scenarios, the electronic device may combine the audio data streams sent by at least some users, to combine multiple audio data streams into one audio data stream. The data corresponding to one audio data stream is used as the storage data.
It should be noted that various methods for combining the audio data streams are well-known technologies that are widely researched and applied at present, and are not repeated here.
In some application scenarios, the electronic device executing the data processing method for a multimedia conference may generate the storage data of the multimedia conference based on the video data stream of a target conference participant user of the conference participant user.
The above-mentioned target conference participant user include at least one of the conference participant user with the greatest volume among multiple conference participant users who make a statement, the conference participant user with the greatest accumulated audio energy in a preset time period including the current moment, and a user with a preset identity.
The user with the preset identity here may be the host of the multimedia conference, or may be the conference participant user designated in advance.
In addition, the target conference participant user may also be all the conference participant users.
In these application scenarios, the above-mentioned generating the storage data of the multimedia conference based on the video data stream of a target conference participant user of the conference participant user may include: combining the multimedia data streams of the conference participant users. For example, one video stream is selected from the video data streams of the conference participant users as the combined video data stream. For another example, at least two video data streams are selected from the video data streams of the conference participant users, and the at least two video data streams are processed into video data streams that can be displayed on the same display page (video mixing). Processing the at least two video data streams into video data streams that can be displayed on the same display page includes: setting a page display ratio, a display area or the like of each video data stream to be combined; combining the at least two video data streams, for which the page display ratio and the display area have been set, into a combined video data stream.
In some application scenarios, the electronic device executing the data processing method for a multimedia conference may generate the storage data of the multimedia conference based on audio data streams sent by at least some users, a video data stream of a target conference participant user and current screen sharing data stream of the conference participant user.
In these application scenarios, the screen sharing data of the conference participant user, for example, may be obtained by a first terminal device of the conference participant user who initiates the screen sharing recording all or part of content displayed on a screen of the first terminal device.
Correspondingly, when the above-mentioned storage data is generated, the screen sharing data stream and the video data stream of at least one conference participant user may be combined. For example, each frame of screen recording image corresponding to the screen sharing data stream is taken as the screen sharing data stream to be combined with the video data stream of at least one conference participant user. Alternatively, it is set a display parameter, such as a display ratio and a display area, of the screen recording image of the conference participant user who initiates the screen sharing; it is set a display parameter, such as a display ratio and a display area, of the video frame of the video data stream of at least one conference participant user; then the screen sharing data stream with the set display parameter and the video data stream of at least one conference participant user with the set display parameter are packaged into a video file to obtain a combined result.
The storage data of the multimedia conference, generated based on at least one of audio data stream, video data stream and screen sharing information data sent by the conference participant user, can save the audio information, video information and/or shared information of the multimedia conference. It is beneficial to restore the scene of the multimedia conference to the accessing user of the storage data, so that the accessing user can obtain as much information as possible.
In some optional implementations, the data processing method for a multimedia conference performed by a multimedia client may include: displaying, in response to the multimedia conference being in a recording state, prompt information indicating that the multimedia conference is in a recording state. In these optional implementations, when the multimedia conference server performs a data processing operation according to the recording instruction, the multimedia conference server may send recording feedback information indicating that the multimedia conference is in a recording state to the multimedia client. The multimedia client may determine that the multimedia conference is in the recording state based on the recording feedback information, and the prompt information indicating that the multimedia conference is in the recording state. The multimedia client here may be a multimedia client of a preset user with the authority of initiating the recording instruction, or may be a multimedia client of another conference participant user of the multimedia conference.
In some optional implementations, the electronic device executing the data processing method for a multimedia conference may perform the following steps.
Specifically, in response to determining that a recording duration of a current recording file corresponding to the storage data at a current moment exceeds a preset duration threshold and/or determining that a size of the current recording file exceeds a preset capacity threshold, the electronic device executing the data processing method for a multimedia conference may store partial storage data corresponding to the multimedia conference after the current moment in a next recording file.
In this way, the multimedia conference is recorded with restricting the recording duration of the multimedia conference and/or the size of the recording file, thereby reducing a cache resource requirement of the electronic device executing the data processing method for a multimedia conference.
