As shown in FIG. 1, the recording and broadcasting control method of the embodiment of the present invention includes:

Step 11: Generate conference storage information according to the storage resource request information of the preset user.

It should be noted that the preset user is a user who convene a video conference, for example, an individual user, an enterprise user, or the like; the resource request information includes at least one of user identification information, recording bandwidth, and recording duration. When the user requests, the user identification information (for example, when the user is an enterprise user, the user identification information can be a corporate account), the recording bandwidth, and the recording duration are sent together.

Step 12: Send the conference storage information to the video conference server, so that the video conference server establishes a recording channel according to the conference storage information and the pre-deployed recording server. The recording server stores the conference information.

It should be noted that the recording and broadcasting control method is applied to the recording and broadcasting control device, and the recording and broadcasting control device is usually deployed in the cloud server. When the user needs to store the video conference, the video conference server sends the storage according to the user's request. The resource request information is sent to the recording and control device. The video conference server is mainly referred to as a cloud video conference server located on the cloud server.

Optionally, when the step 11 is implemented, the method includes:

Step 111: According to the storage resource request information of the preset user, determine whether there is a recording and recording resource required to store the conference information in the recording server pre-deployed by the preset user;

Step 112: If there is a recording and recording resource that satisfies the stored conference information, generate conference storage information.

It should be noted that, in step 111 and step 112, when the storage resource request information of the user is obtained, the recording and playback control device first determines the corresponding user according to the information such as the user identification information, the recording bandwidth, and the recording duration. Whether the remaining recording resources on the recording server meet the meeting storage requirements of the user. If yes, the storage resource is reserved for the user. If not, the resource application failure information is fed back; when the user applies for the resource successfully, the recording control is performed. The device generates a conference storage address, a port, and an on-demand live access link corresponding to the user, and returns the information to the video conference server. At the beginning of the conference, the video conference server establishes a data channel with the recording server corresponding to the user, and the video conference server sends the conference information (also referred to as conference media data) to the recording server, and the recording media data is stored by the recording server. It should be noted that the recording server manages the conference media data and generates a live broadcast and on-demand access link. If the conference media data is a public cloud server and a private cloud server hybrid cloud deployment, the recording media data is mirrored by the recording server. storage.

It should be noted that before the user requests to perform the conference storage, the recording and recording server corresponding to the user needs to be deployed. Therefore, before the step 11, the recording and controlling method further includes:

Step 10: deploy the recording server to the pair according to the recording service request information of the preset user. In the cloud server, the address and port information of the recording server are generated.

It should be noted that when the user needs to perform the conference recording, the service request (that is, the recording service request information mentioned above) needs to be first sent to the video conference server to apply for the video conference service resource and the conference recording resource. The conference recording resource includes: at least one of storage space size information, maximum storage bandwidth, number of concurrent storage conferences, concurrent on-demand users, maximum on-demand bandwidth, and recording server deployment location information; wherein the recording server deployment The location information includes: deployment on a public cloud server, deployment on a private cloud server, or simultaneous deployment on a public cloud server and a private cloud server. Generally, the recording service request information at least includes the recording server deployment location information, so that the recording control device can flexibly perform the deployment of the recording server according to the user's selection. When receiving the recording service request information forwarded by the video conference server, the recording server is deployed to the corresponding cloud server according to the deployment location of the recording server selected by the user, so as to implement the storage function of the subsequent conference.

It should be noted that, after the storage of the conference media data is performed, the conference media data can be viewed by the user on demand when the user needs it. Generally, the user who views the conference on-demand can be the user who convene the conference, or the user who participates in the conference or other network users. Therefore, the recording and control method of the embodiment further includes:

In step 13, the connection between the video conference server and the recording server is established according to the conference-on-demand request information of the preset user, so that the recording server transmits the conference information stored by the preset user.

It should be noted that, when the user performs the conference on-demand, the conference-on-demand request information is first sent by the video conference server to the video conference server, and then the video conference server forwards the conference-on-demand request information to the recording and broadcast control device, and the recording and playback control device is When the conference on-demand request information meets the requirement of the on-demand, the connection between the video conference server and the recording server is established, so that the recording server transmits the conference information stored by the preset user.

Optionally, when the step 13 is implemented, the method includes:

Step 131: Determine, according to the conference-on-demand request information of the preset user, whether there is an enterprise on-demand resource allocated for the preset user.

Step 132: If there is an enterprise-on-demand resource allocated for the preset user, perform security authentication of the recording server. After the authentication is passed, establish a connection between the video conference server and the recording server, so that the recording server is the preset. The user performs the transmission of the stored conference information.

It should be noted that the conference administrator user can set security control attributes for each conference through the recording and control device, for example, on-demand through account authentication information, on-demand by on-demand password, or on-demand without any authentication. The user initiates an on-demand request according to the posted link, and the link is connected to the recording and playback control device, and the recording and playback control device checks whether the on-demand resource (concurrent number, bandwidth) corresponding to the user is satisfied according to the conference information carried by the link, and if so, searches The security attribute and the recording server information of the conference are redirected to the recording server where the conference information is located after the security authentication is performed, and the conference media data is transmitted by the recording server to implement on-demand broadcasting of the conference; When it is finished, it returns the failure information of insufficient resources. It should also be noted that, when the conference on-demand user performs the conference media data request, for a single public cloud server or a private cloud server storage, the corresponding play link is directly accessed. If the public cloud server and the private cloud server are mixed storage, according to The IP address accessed by the user is redirected to the public cloud server or the private cloud server to save network bandwidth resources. For example, when the conference media data is stored on both the public cloud server and the private cloud server, in order to save public network bandwidth resources, The recording and playback control device may first determine the user's request for on-demand. If the source address requested by the user is a private cloud server network segment, the recording and control device redirects the on-demand request to the recording server on the private cloud server, thereby reducing The occupation of the bandwidth of the public network.
