Description

Private Conversation Parallel Video Conferencing Method {PRIVATE CONVERSATION PROVIDING REMOTE MEETING METHOD}

The present invention relates to a video conference performed by a plurality of computers (10) connected through the Internet, and enables individual connection and voice conversation between participating computers (10) while the video conference is in progress.

Due to the improvement of the speed of Internet communication and the performance of personal computers, multi-party video conferences through the Internet and personal computers are possible without a dedicated communication line, expensive video equipment, and signal processing systems. In particular, as in Patent No. 1771400, The user's convenience has been dramatically improved as the browser mounted on the computer participating in the video conference accesses a web page opened for the purpose of the video conference.

In addition, as the spread of wireless networks such as high-speed mobile communication networks and wireless LANs is expanding, and the use of portable information devices such as smartphones and tablet PCs capable of wireless network access and high-speed and large-capacity information processing has become common, images based on computers and the Internet Temporal and spatial constraints in the conduct of meetings are being relieved dramatically.

In other words, as shown in FIG. 1, various information devices capable of wireless network access such as smartphones or tablet PCs are used for video conferences, breaking away from the conventional video conferences that were performed in fixed spaces such as offices or conference rooms based on desktop computers. Accordingly, video conferencing may be performed in various environments such as at home as well as in a public place or outdoors.

As such, as the temporal and spatial restrictions in conducting videoconferences are relaxed and videoconferences are held in various places, the use of videoconferencing is expanding not only in the industrial field but also in everyday life. As such, interest and demand for video conferencing services are explosively increasing.

As described above, despite the increase in interest and demand for videoconferencing, videoconferencing has a fundamental limitation of indirect communication through communication networks rather than direct meetings and face-to-face meetings. There was a problem.

As a representative example of the limitations of such video conferences, the speaker and listener are fixed at a specific point in the course of the video conference, and individual conversations other than the speaker's speech are extremely limited. can

That is, as in FIG. 2 illustrating the screen of the computer 10 at a specific point in time at which the conventional video conference is performed, the screen of the computer 10 of the video conference participant is a speaker screen ( 11), a video conference participant and a user screen 12 displaying the user of the computer 10, and a listener screen 13 that is another video conference participant, as shown in the figure, the computer 10 of the voice output device outputs only the voice transmitted from the speaker computer 10, and the voice transmitted by the plurality of listener computers 10 is blocked, as well as the user's input voice inputted to the computer 10 is not transmitted. .

The reason that voice distribution in the conventional video conference is conducted in a speaker-focused method is that, unlike video information that can be output on multiple screens through division, in the case of audio information, it is not only practically impossible to hear when divided or accompanied by output, but even incomplete listening is possible. Even if it is possible, it is inevitable that a distracting meeting environment will be created.

Therefore, in the conventional video conference, the distribution of voice information between the participating computers 10 is conducted mainly on the voice information transmitted from the speaker computer 10, but as shown in FIG. 2, the message window 90 on the screen of the computer 10 ), etc., were implemented to enable partial communication between meeting participants.

However, such text message display inevitably has a significant gap in convenience and efficiency compared to voice-based direct conversation, and it is necessary to operate an input device such as a keyboard to input text, as well as output text-based message. There was an unavoidable problem of encroachment of the screen of the computer 10 due to this.

In particular, as described above, the use of portable information devices such as smartphones or tablet PCs as the computer 10 in performing Internet-based video conferencing has become common, and most of these portable information devices use a touch screen as an input/output device. In the process of being accompanied or alternately implemented on a narrow screen with a plurality of keys for text input and the message window 90 for outputting sending and receiving text messages, serious user inconvenience and confusion are inevitable.

As such, the conventional video conferencing method, in which the distribution of voice information in the video conference is limited to the speaker, and a text-based message is provided as an auxiliary communication means, does not satisfy the various communication needs of the video conference participants and is diversified. There is a serious problem in that it cannot cope with the conditions for performing video conferencing.

The present invention was devised in view of the above problems, and in a video conference method performed by a plurality of computers 10 connected through the Internet, a conference program mounted on the computer 10 is executed to conduct a video conference Step (S10), the designation step (S21) in which the designated information is input to the conference program of the host computer 10, the conference program of the host computer 10 corresponds to the designated information identification information of the follower computer 10 to the Internet In the transmission step (S22) of transmitting to the, the acceptance step (S31) in which the slave computer 10 corresponding to the identification information transmits the acceptance information to the Internet, and the communication path between the master computer 10 and the slave computer 10 is Connection step (S40) in which the voice information input to the main computer 10 is output to the slave computer 10 and the voice information input to the slave computer 10 is output to the main computer 10 by opening and exchanging voice information (S40) ) is an individual conversational parallel videoconferencing method characterized by the

In addition, in the present invention, the designation step (S21), in which designation information is input to the conference program of the host computer 10, is within the area on the screen of the main computer 10 where the image information transmitted from the slave computer 10 is output. It is an individual conversation parallel videoconferencing method, characterized in that it is performed by selecting the displayed indicator as an object.

In addition, in the present invention, the designation step (S21), in which designation information is input to the conference program of the host computer 10, is within the area on the screen of the main computer 10 where the image information transmitted from the slave computer 10 is output. It is an individual conversation parallel video conference method characterized in that the displayed speaker screen 11 or the listener screen 13 is selected as an object.

In addition, in the present invention, the communication path between the main computer 10 and the slave computer 10 is opened and voice information is exchanged, and the voice information input to the main computer 10 is output to the slave computer 10 and the slave computer In the connection step (S40), in which the voice information input in (10) is output to the main computer 10, the image information transmitted from the slave computer 10 is output in the active state in the area on the screen of the main computer 10. It is an individual conversation parallel videoconferencing method, characterized in that the indicator is displayed.

Through the present invention, a smoother individual communication between users is possible in the process of video conference, thereby improving the utility and efficiency of video conference and increasing user convenience.

In particular, it is possible to have individual conversations between participants in the videoconference without interfering with the speaker's remarks and the listening of other listeners, thus ensuring diversified and active communication while maintaining the high level of immersion in the videoconference.

In addition, in individual communication between meeting participants, voice-based direct conversation is possible without sending and receiving text-based messages, so user inconvenience caused by manipulation of input devices such as keyboards can be reduced. In a portable information device, it is possible to prevent screen encroachment due to text input.

The detailed configuration and execution process of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, FIG. 1 shows components for performing Internet-based video conference and the connection state between the components. As shown, Internet-based video conference including the present invention is basically equipped with video recording and audio input/output functions. It is performed by a plurality of computers 10, and these plurality of computers 10 are interconnected through the Internet.

In addition, as shown by a virtual line in the figure, the web page 21 or the server 20 is configured so that the computer 10 participating in the video conference can be connected via these web pages 21 or the server 20 have.

As the computer 10 for performing such an Internet-based video conference, a camera is mounted and not only a typical desktop computer 10 or a laptop computer 10 capable of voice input and output, but also an imaging function is mounted as illustrated in FIG. 1 and the Internet A variety of information devices such as a tablet PC or a smart phone that can be accessed can be applied.

As in other Internet-based videoconferencing methods, the main transmission and reception information between the computers 10 participating in the videoconference in the present invention is also image information and audio information, and these information are transmitted through a communication path established between the computers 10. The video conference is conducted as a conference program for input/output and distribution of video information and audio information is loaded and executed on the computer 10 .

The conference program of the present invention is a browser equipped with a function of transmitting and receiving video information and audio information, a browser installed with a plug-in for transmitting and receiving video information and audio information, or a communication path for video conference purposes and information It may have a variety of formats, such as a separate application program in charge of transmission and reception.

In particular, as shown by a virtual line in FIG. 1 , the web page 21 connected to the server 20 is built, and the conference program of the computer 10 is connected to the conference server 20 via the web page 21 . This method can be applied to the present invention as well. In this case, the above-mentioned browser can be applied as the conference program, and since the browser is a program familiar to general Internet users, it is advantageous in securing user convenience when the browser is applied as the conference program.

2 illustrates a screen of a computer 10 on which a conventional Internet-based video conference is performed. , each participant is outputting an image photographed by his/her own computer 10, and the image information transmitted by each computer 10 is divided into a speaker screen 11, an individual screen 12, and a listener screen 13 and is output

The speaker screen 11 is a screen that captures the main speaker speaking at the time, and generally occupies the largest area among the screen areas of the computer 10, as shown in FIG. 2, and the person screen 12 is A screen on which a user of the computer 10 outputs an image captured by a camera mounted on the computer 10, which is implemented in a picture-in-picture (PIP) method in the upper right portion of the figure, and the speaker and the person themselves A plurality of listener screens 13 for outputting image information transmitted from other participant computers 10 except for are also arranged and implemented in the lower part of the drawing in a PIP manner.

In addition, as in the lower right part of FIG. 2 , as a means for communication between the user who is the user of the computer 10 and the speaker or listener, a message window 90 for sending and receiving text messages may be implemented, and the user who is the user may be implemented. By manipulating the input device of the computer 10 such as a keyboard to input and transmit text, text-based communication with meeting participants can be performed.

However, as described above, a significant portion of the screen of the computer 10 is inevitably eroded due to text-based communication such as the message window 90 , and the user of the computer 10 may use a character input device such as a keyboard during the video conference. , which not only causes significant obstacles in the distribution of video information among meeting participants, but also lowers immersion in video conferences.

In particular, although not shown in FIG. 2 , a computer 10 equipped with a keyboard as an input device configured separately from a screen such as a desktop computer 10 or a laptop computer 10 as a computer 10 for performing videoconferencing is provided. Rather, when a smartphone or tablet PC to which a touch screen is applied as an input/output device is utilized, the message window 90 as well as a number of character input keys must be implemented on the screen, so the above-mentioned screen erosion may become more serious. there is only

Accordingly, in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 15 , a one-to-one individual direct voice conversation between the user who is the user of the video conference participating computer 10 and the listener or speaker who is another participant is possible, thereby ensuring active communication. The immersiveness of videoconferencing is highly maintainable.

3 and 4 show a state in which a video conference to which the present invention is applied is started, that is, a state in which a video conference program to which the present invention is applied is running, and FIG. 4 illustrates a state in which a smartphone is applied as the computer 10 participating in the video conference.

As such, the present invention provides a videoconferencing method performed by a plurality of computers 10 that are directly connected to each other through the Internet or indirectly connected to each other via a web page 21 built on the Internet or a server 20 connected thereto. As a bar, a tablet PC or a smart phone can be applied to the computer 10 as shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 4, and it is easy to carry, as well as easy to access the Internet via a wireless network such as a wireless LAN or a mobile communication network. Temporary and spatial constraints on meeting performance can be relaxed.

3 and 4, the screen of the computer 10 of the present invention includes the speaker screen 11, the person screen 12, and the listener screen 13 as in the prior art of FIG. 2 described above as a basic configuration. In addition, various indicators for displaying the output volume of the speaker screen 11 or displaying the input volume of the person screen 12 are implemented. As can be confirmed through contrast, in the present invention, in addition to the speaker-shaped indicator for displaying the output volume of the speaker screen 11 or the microphone-shaped indicator for displaying the input volume of the user screen 12, the speaker shape is also An output volume indicator of the listener screen 13 having a

5 to 10 show a situation in which an individual conversation function is performed between video conference participants of the present invention, and FIGS. 5 and 7 to 9 illustrate the screen of the computer 10 operated by a mouse, 6 and 10 illustrate the screen of the computer 10 operated by touch.

First, FIGS. 5 and 6 exemplify a situation in which the individual conversation function of the present invention is performed, and when these FIGS. 5 and 6 are compared with FIGS. 3 and 4 showing a state in which the individual conversation function is not performed, In FIGS. 3 and 4 , all indicators of whether an individual conversation function depicting a whisper are activated or not are in an inactive state, whereas in FIGS. 5 and 6 , individual conversation indicators of the user screen 12 and a specific listener screen 13 are active 3 and 4, only the output volume indicator of the speaker screen 11 is active and all of the output volume indicators of the listener screen 13 are inactive, whereas in FIGS. 5 and 6, the specific listener screen 13 ) output volume indicator is active.

On the other hand, as in FIGS. 5 and 6 , when the individual conversation function of the present invention is operated, the output volume indicator of the user screen 12 has a partially active state, which corresponds to the user's voice input state using the individual conversation function and the corresponding state. The user classifies the status of the video conference by the speaker's status. The input volume indicator of the user screen 12 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is inactive, and the user screen shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 ( The input volume indicator of 12) is in a partially active state, and the input volume indicator of the personal screen 12 of FIG. 11, which will be described later, indicates an active state.

That is, the active state input volume indicator as in the screen 12 of FIG. 11 indicates that the person has the speaker's position, and the voice information input to the person's computer 10 is the computer 10 participating in the video conference. The input volume indicator of the user screen 12 in the partially active state of FIGS. 5 and 6 above indicates a state in which the user's voice information is transmitted only to the specific participant computer 10 conducting an individual conversation, , 3 and 4, the input volume indicator on the screen 12 of the inactive state of Figs.

In the display of the inactive, partially active, and active states of the input volume indicator, in the accompanying drawings, a diagonal line indicating cancellation is displayed on the indicator of the same microphone type. In the partially active state, a dotted line is displayed, and in the active state, an oblique line is removed. However, various display methods such as contrast control or character display are possible.

As such, general users can easily acquire the functions of the present invention by using commonly used symbols as indicators, but by introducing indicators in the form of display and pictograms that can intuitively grasp whether active or not and the properties of functions. , It is possible to activate and deactivate functions only by clicking the mouse or touching the touch screen, so that the user's operation convenience can be secured.

On the other hand, the individual voice conversation of the present invention is carried out between the computers 10 of specific parties among a plurality of video conference participating computers 10 that are loaded and executed with a conference program and connected to the Internet, and are transferred to other participating computers 10 . If the computer 10 that attempts an individual conversation and the computer 10 that accepts the individual conversation attempt and allows the individual conversation are divided into the main computer 10 and the slave computer 10, respectively, during the video conference of the present invention, individual The conversation is connected to the host computer 10 and the slave computer 10 according to the individual conversation attempt of the host computer 10, or as the slave computer 10 accepts the individual conversation request of the host computer 10, the host computer 10 ) and the follower computer 10 are connected in such a way that the main computer 10 and the follower computer 10 can be set to anyone regardless of the position in the video conference divided into the above-mentioned person, speaker or listener.

That is, when the user's computer 10 is the main computer 10 , the slave computer 10 transmits the output image information of the listener screen 13 as well as the output image of the speaker screen 11 as well as the listener computer 10 . A speaker computer 10 that transmits information may also be designated, an embodiment of which is illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8 .

It shows a situation in which an individual conversation between the speaker and the speaker is in progress. 10) is not transmitted.

On the other hand, in Figure 8, when the master computer 10 attempts or requests an individual conversation to the slave computer 10, the image transmitted from the slave computer 10, rather than clicking or touching the individual conversation indicator as described above. It exemplifies a method of calling a menu while placing a cursor on a screen for outputting information, and FIGS. 9 and 10 are configured so that the celadon screen 13 displayed on the screen of the main computer 10 itself behaves as a selection object Thus, the user requests an individual conversation by clicking or touching the listener screen 13, and although not illustrated in the drawing, not only the listener screen 13 but also the speaker screen 11 can act as a selection object. The individual conversation request to the follower computer 10 of ( 10 ) may be initiated in various ways, and the indication of whether the individual conversation is in progress is shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 , as shown in FIGS. ) and outputting the celadon screen 13 corresponding to the celadon screen 13 so as to be emphasized compared to the other celadon screens 13, or the like.

Through the behavior of the listener screen 13 or the speaker screen 11 itself as a click or touch object, a separate individual dialog indicator can be omitted from the output element on the screen, so screen encroachment caused by the indicator can be prevented. In particular, considerable advantages can be obtained in portable information devices, such as smartphones or tablet PCs, in which the absolute screen area is narrow.

11 and 12 exemplify a situation in which the user of the computer 10 is given the speaker's status during the video conference. Even in this case, an arbitrary listener computer 10 is designated as the follower computer 10 to Conversation can be performed, and FIG. 11 shows a state in which an individual conversation is not started, and FIG. 12 shows the computer 10 corresponding to the listener screen 13 located in the lower center of the drawing as the follower computer 10 . It is designated and shows the situation in which an individual conversation is in progress.

As such, in the present invention, in the Internet-based video conference, the main computer 10 and the follower computer 10 are specified among the participating computers 10, and the speaker's speech is transmitted to all the participant computers 10, and at the same time, the main computer 10 (10) and the follower computer 10 as a parallel individual conversation between both sides, as shown in FIG. 13, a conference program mounted on a plurality of participating computers 10 is executed and the video conference is started as an execution step (S10) do.

Thereafter, as in FIGS. 13 and 14, a designation step (S21) of inputting designated information to the conference program of the host computer 10 is performed, and the user of the host computer 10 is individually assigned to the conference program input of the designated information. It is performed through an operation to designate the counterpart of the conversation, and this designation step (S21) is, as in FIGS. The indicator displayed in the area is selected or manipulated as an object, or the speaker screen 11 or the listener screen 13 displayed on the screen of the main computer 10 as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 is selected or manipulated as an object. can be

That is, the above-described individual dialog indicator serves as an indicator for displaying whether an individual conversation is in progress and at the same time acts as a GUI object (Graphic User Interface Object) that is selected or manipulated through a mouse click or a touch operation of the touch screen, or the speaker screen 11 or the listener screen 13 itself or the area on the screen of the main computer 10 of the speaker screen 11 or the listener screen 13 acts as a GUI object that is selected or manipulated through a mouse click or a touch operation of the touch screen That is, the user of the master computer 10 performs a designation step (S21) of designating the slave computer 10 by clicking or touching the corresponding object displayed on the screen.

Here, when an individual dialog indicator combined with a selection object is applied, a user manipulation method for carrying out the present invention can be extremely simplified in a one-click method, and in particular, as shown in FIGS. By composing it with pictograms depicting the back, intuitive operation is possible even for users who are not fully familiar with how to use it, and when the speaker screen 11 or the listener screen 13 behaves as an object, screen encroachment by the indicator can be prevented. and efficient use of a narrow screen is possible.

13 and 14, after the designation step (S21), the conference program of the host computer 10 transmits the identification information of the slave computer 10 corresponding to the designated information to the Internet (S22) is performed Here, the identification information is information corresponding to the designation information of the designation step (S21) one-to-one, and is unique information given to enable self-identification for the video conference participating computer 10 of the present invention, and is specified through the identification information. It is information that mediates the establishment of a communication path between the computers 10 of both sides.

In this way, the transmission step (S22) of transmitting the identification information of the follower computer 10 to the Internet is opened for the purpose of conducting a video conference at that time, and in addition to the communication channel through which the voice information of the speaker's speech is distributed, the main computer 10 ) is a process of starting or requesting the establishment of a communication path for the distribution of individual conversation voice information as a conference program mounted on the follower computer 10, in which the video conference participating computer 10 is directly connected through the Internet. In this case, the identification information sent from the main computer 10 is directly transmitted to the follower computer, and as shown by a virtual line in FIG. 1 , the conference participating computer 10 is via the web page 21 or the server 20 When connected, the server 20 receives the identification information sent from the main computer 10, and the server 20 uses the received identification information to open a communication path between the main computer 10 and the slave computer 10. Mediation, or a communication path via the server 20 may be established between the main computer 10 and the slave computer (10).

Then, a communication path between the main computer 10 and the slave computer 10 is opened and voice information is exchanged, and the voice information input to the main computer 10 is output to the slave computer 10 and to the slave computer 10 . A connection step (S40) in which the input voice information is output to the main computer 10 is performed, whereby individual conversations between participants through the present invention can be performed in parallel with the video conference.

On the other hand, in the connection step (S40), as shown in Figs. 5 to 7, an indicator of an active state in the area on the screen of the main computer 10 to which the image information transmitted from the slave computer 10 is output is displayed, or Fig. 9 And as shown in Figure 10, the listener screen 13 corresponding to the individual conversation partner is output to be highlighted in a manner such as slightly enlarged or emphasized compared to the other listener screen 13, so that the user of the main computer 10 is It is possible to easily check whether an individual conversation is currently in progress and the person to whom the individual conversation is being conducted. This makes it possible to accurately identify individual conversation partners and prevent confusion in conversations even when video information of multiple participants is mixed on a narrow screen.

In addition, although the specific situation is not illustrated in the accompanying drawings, when the connection step ( S40 ) is completed and one party wants to stop the individual conversation while the individual conversation between the meeting participants is in progress, the designation step ( S21 ) As in the user manipulation method in , an individual conversation may be interrupted by manipulating an object such as an indicator or the listener screen 13 .

As such, in the individual conversation between the user of the host computer 10 and the user of the slave computer 10 in the present invention, the unilateral connection attempt of the user of the host computer 10 is immediately accepted, and accordingly, the host computer 10 and the slave computer ( 10) It proceeds by opening a communication path, and the video conference as in the present invention is conducted under the premise of establishing a consensus or consensus on allowing mutual communication among participants, so either party's individual conversation attempts are immediately accepted. This method cannot be said to be disrespecting the other party's opinion, and through this one-way initiation method of individual conversations, not only can speed, convenience, and efficiency of communication between participants be secured, but also, as described above, individual conversations can be Since a simple interruption operation by one of the participants is possible, problems caused by individual conversations against the will of the participants in the meeting are not aggravated.

Nevertheless, in the present invention, by allowing the user to confirm the intention of the user of the follower computer 10 prior to the start of the individual conversation, it is possible to block the individual conversation contrary to the intention of the participant, and the specific process is shown in FIGS. 15 and 16 . has been
