Method and device for conference access

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a communication domain, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for accessing a conference.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A teleconference, which is a common means of communication and a popular international method of communication in office environments, is an economical, highly efficient and unlimited geographic framework for interaction, covering modern business projects, office and management functions.

According to the technologies used in the existing art, there are usually two ways to connect to a conference call. In accordance with one of the methods, the caller pre-dials the conference access number and, using the voice menu, selects the conference room or directly dials the conference access number and conference room number, and then enters a password for access to the conference room. According to another method, the system calls conference participants by an outgoing call after the start time of the conference, and each participant joins the conference after the connection.

However, in some cases, the calling subscriber wishing to join the conference after its start can not do this, because for some reason it is not possible for him to obtain the conference room number, although he is one of the planned participants in this conference. For example, if a subscriber is away from the conference venue, he can not receive the conference room number or learn the required number online from the relevant conference participant, because all conference participants are involved in it, and they can not be connected with them. In some other cases, a caller who is not a scheduled participant in a conference but wants to temporarily monitor the progress of this conference can not do this if he does not know the conference access number, conference room number, password, etc.

Currently, there is still no effective solution to the problem in the existing art of the problem that the caller can not join the conference for various reasons.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments of the invention set forth herein and their features can be combined if they do not contradict each other.

The way of accessing the conference in the existing state of the art is to some extent limited due to the presence of switched networks of various types. In addition, the caller can not always successfully access the conference due to various reasons related to the environment or directly to the caller. In this connection, by way of embodiments of the present invention, there is provided a conference access method and a conference access device that allow a caller to access the conference by directly calling a conference participant. In the following, certain exemplary embodiments describe a method of accessing a conference and a conference access device.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method of accessing a conference that can be implemented on the conference system side. In Fig. 1 shows an algorithm for executing a method of accessing a conference in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1, the method includes the following steps (S102-S104).

Step S102: receiving a call from the calling subscriber, wherein the information on the number dialed by the caller contains the number of the called subscriber and the number prefix, wherein the called subscriber is a participant in the conference in the conference room and the prefix number is used to access the conference system.

Step S104: granting access to the caller to the conference room of the conference system.

With this method, the caller directly accesses the conference system through the number prefix dialed and directly accesses the conference room by calling a conference participant, thereby solving the problem that, in the current state of the art, a caller can not join conference for various reasons, the algorithm of caller's access to the conference room is optimized, and this method allows to expand the scope of application of the access method to the conference and increase the efficiency and proportion of successful caller access attempts to the conference room.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, access to the conference system is realized by prefixing the number dialed by the calling subscriber, whereby the difference between different types of communication networks is masked and access to the conference can be performed using the intelligent network service only through analysis and simple prefix setting numbers on the side of the switched network, regardless of the type of the switched network. Prefix number is the conference system access number, such as in the case of a set of 17951 + local phone number, where 17951 specifies the use of IP-telephony system. The calling subscriber by adding a number prefix indicates that he is waiting for access to the conference system via the conference access method,

In order to increase the level of security when accessing the conference, after receiving the call made by the caller, the conference system can first authenticate the calling party's identification information and prevent the caller from accessing the conference room until the authentication process has completed successfully. Thus, according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an implementation example, that after receiving a call from a caller, the method can also include: performing authentication of the caller identification information in accordance with the number information dialed by the calling subscriber.

By way of an embodiment, an example of a method for authenticating a caller is proposed, namely: a step of determining whether to authenticate the caller identification information based on the number dialed by the calling subscriber, including: determining whether the calling subscriber is a conference participant passing in the conference room in which the subscriber is registered the number of the called subscriber, according to the number of the called subscriber; and if it is determined that the calling subscriber is a participant in the conference in the conference hall in which the called number is registered, performing authentication of the caller identification information. In this exemplary implementation method, it can be determined whether the calling subscriber is a conference participant in the conference room,

In the following, the implementation method will describe how to determine whether the calling subscriber is a participant in a conference in the conference room. The procedure for determining whether the calling party is a conference participant in the conference room according to the number of the called subscriber includes: requesting information whether the called party number is included in the information about the participants in the interactive conference; if the number of the called subscriber is contained in the information about the participants of the interactive conference, the definition of the number of the conference hall in which the number of the called subscriber is registered, according to the number of the called subscriber; Determination in accordance with the conference room number of information about the conference participants in the conference room; and the definition, whether the calling subscriber is a participant of the conference held in the conference hall on the basis of information about the participants of the conference held in the conference hall. According to this example of the implementation method, the accuracy of determining whether the calling subscriber is a participant in the conference in the conference room, as well as the security level when accessing the conference is increased.

After determining that the caller is a participant in the conference, according to one aspect of the present invention, the caller can be selected to directly grant access to the conference room. However, in order to improve the security level when accessing the conference, for example, in case of confidential discussions at conferences, it is also necessary to authenticate the caller's identification information. Thus, according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an example of an implementation method, including sending to the caller a request for entering a conference password; determination of the correctness of the conference password entered by the calling subscriber; and in the event that the conference password is entered correctly by the caller,

After determining that the caller is not a conference participant, in order to expand the scope of application of the conference access method and increase the proportion of successful caller access attempts to the conference room, it also can be determined whether the caller should be granted access to the conference as an observer. Thus, according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided an example of an implementation method including, after determining whether the calling subscriber is a conference participant in the conference room, determining the calling subscriber as an observer of the conference room and authenticating his identification information, if the caller the subscriber is not a participant of the conference held in the conference hall.

After the calling subscriber is identified as an observer of the conference, authentication of his identification information is performed. To determine whether the caller should be allowed access to the conference room, you can request the called party and / or the conference administrator whether to allow the caller to access the conference room. In this regard, according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an example of an implementation method in which the step of determining a user as an observer of a conference room and performing authentication of his identification includes: transmitting to the called subscriber a request for whether to provide the caller permission for access to the conference room; if the called subscriber provides the caller with access to the conference room, transmitting a request to the administrator of the conference room about whether to allow the caller access to the conference room; and if the administrator of the conference room allows the caller access to the conference room, determining that authentication of the caller identification information has been successful.

Of course, according to this method, the decision on whether to grant the caller access to the conference can be made by the called subscriber and / or the conference administrator, or the called subscriber or other conference participants, namely one or more conference participants. In addition, the order of definition varies; and making a decision at first by the called subscriber, and then by the administrator of the conference room is only an example of the implementation of the method. Thus, the conference monitoring function can be implemented for an unplanned conference participant, the scope of the present invention can be expanded and the telecommunications operator can quickly and economically conduct its business.

Based on the conference access method described in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the following describes a system architecture for accessing the caller to the conference. The structure of the system can be realized using the intelligent network service. When a teleconference participant is called, the caller can directly access the conference system in which the conference participant is registered. In Fig. 2 is a block diagram of a system architecture for accessing a caller to a conference in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 2, both the calling subscriber A and the called subscriber B access the switched network; and the intelligent network platform and the conference system access the switched network and connect to the calling subscriber A and the called subscriber B. The information on the number dialed by the calling subscriber A contains the number prefix and the number of the called subscriber B. The number prefix is ​​analyzed on the side of the base switched network for providing a call from the calling subscriber A, access to the conference system. The conference system provides the caller A with access to the corresponding conference room in which the conference is held, after the logical processing successfully performs caller A authentication. The number prefix is ​​analyzed on the side of the base switched network to provide a call from the caller A to the conference system. The conference system provides the caller A with access to the corresponding conference room in which the conference is held, after the logical processing successfully performs caller A authentication. The number prefix is ​​analyzed on the side of the base switched network to provide a call from the caller A to the conference system. The conference system provides the caller A with access to the corresponding conference room in which the conference is held, after the logical processing successfully performs caller A authentication.

In the following, an embodiment of the present invention more specifically describes a method of accessing a conference.

In Fig. 3 illustrates an algorithm for executing a method for processing a conference access process in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 3, the method includes the following steps (S302-S308).

Step S302: Convocation process: after the time of the conference call, one or more conference participants are joined to the conference by initial dialing of the access number or by an outgoing call from the system, or by other means; and the system registers information about each participant in the conference, such as a conference attendance or conference room number.

Step S304: Caller's Calling Process: The calling subscriber calls the called party by dialing the prefix and called party number and accessing the system as a result of the number prefix analysis.

Step S306: Logical processing: the system requests information about current conference participants using the number of the called subscriber and receives the number of the corresponding conference room, then assesses whether the calling subscriber is a scheduled participant in the conference; if the caller is a scheduled participant in the conference, the caller is asked to enter the conference password and access to the conference after successful password verification; if the caller is not a scheduled participant in the conference, the called subscriber identifies the caller and decides whether to allow the caller to switch to the conference room; if the called subscriber allows the caller to switch to the conference room, the conference administrator decides whether the caller should be allowed to switch to the conference room; and if the conference administrator also allows the caller to switch to the conference room, the caller will have access to the conference room.

Step S308: The conference process: after the authentication is performed, the caller is allowed into the conference room.

Based on the conference access method described above according to an embodiment of the present invention, the following describes a conference access device that can be located on the conference system side and configured to implement the above embodiment. In Fig. 4 is a block diagram of the structure of a conference access device in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 4, the device comprises: a call receiving component 10 and a conference room access component 20. The structure of the components is described below.

The call reception component 10 is configured to receive a call from the calling subscriber, wherein the number information dialed by the caller contains the called number and the number prefix, wherein the called subscriber is a conference participant in the conference room and the prefix number is used to access system of the conference.

The conference room access component 20 is associated with the call receiving component 10 and configured to allow the caller access to the conference room of the conference system.

With this device, the caller directly accesses the conference system through the number prefix dialed to him and directly accesses the conference room by calling a conference participant, thereby solving the problem that, in the current state of the art, a caller can not join for various reasons, also this device allows to optimize the caller's access algorithm to the conference hall, expand the scope of application of the access method to conference and increase the efficiency and share of successful caller access attempts to the conference room.

With this device, access to the conference system is realized by prefixing the number dialed by the calling subscriber, so that the difference between different types of communication networks is masked. Access to the conference can be performed using the intelligent network service only through analysis and simple setting of the number prefix on the side of the switched network, regardless of the type of the switched network.

In order to increase the level of security when accessing the conference, after receiving the call made by the caller, the conference system can first authenticate the calling party's identification information and prevent the caller from accessing the conference room until the authentication process has completed successfully. Thus, in an embodiment of the present invention, an example of a method for implementing this invention is provided. In Fig. 5 shows a block diagram of a first specific structure of a conference access device, in which, in addition to each component depicted in FIG. 4, the device may also comprise: an authentication identity component 30,

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an example of a method for implementing a procedure for authenticating a caller identification information. In Fig. 6 shows a block diagram of a second specific structure of the conference access device, in which, in addition to each component shown in FIG. 5, the authentication information authentication component 30 may also comprise a determining unit 32 and a first authentication unit 34. The structure of these components is described below.

The determination unit 32 is configured to determine, according to the number of the called subscriber, whether the calling subscriber is a conference participant in the conference room in which the number of the called subscriber is registered.

The first authentication unit 34 is coupled to the determining unit 32 and configured to authenticate the caller identification information if the determination unit 32 determines that the caller is a conference participant in the conference room.

In this exemplary embodiment, it may be determined whether the calling subscriber is a conference participant in the conference room and if the caller is a conference participant in the conference room, according to an exemplary embodiment, the caller may be granted direct access to the conference room .

In the following, the implementation method will describe how the determination unit 32 performs the procedure for determining whether the calling subscriber is a conference participant in the conference room. The determination unit 32 comprises: a request sub-block configured to request information about whether the called number is included in the information about the participants in the interactive conference; the first sub-block of the definition configured to determine the number of the conference room in which the number of the called subscriber is registered in accordance with the number of the called subscriber if the number of the called subscriber is contained as a result of requesting information about the participants of the interactive conference performed by the sub-block of the request and determining according to the number conference room of information about conference participants in the conference hall; and a second determination sub-block configured to determine whether the calling subscriber is a conference participant held in the conference room based on information about conference participants held in the conference room determined by the first determination sub-block. According to an example of the implementation method, the accuracy of determining whether the calling party is a participant in a conference in the conference room is increased, as is the security level in accessing the conference.

After determining that the caller is a participant in the conference, according to one aspect of the present invention, the caller can be selected to directly grant access to the conference room. However, in order to improve the security level when accessing the conference, for example, in case of confidential discussions at conferences, it is also necessary to authenticate the caller's identification information. Thus, according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an example of an implementation according to which the first authentication unit comprises: a password request sub-unit configured to transmit a request for entering a conference password to the caller; a password check sub-unit configured to verify the correctness of the conference password entered by the caller;

After determining that the caller is not a conference participant, in order to expand the scope of application of the conference access method and increase the proportion of successful caller access attempts to the conference room, the procedure for determining whether the caller should be granted access to the conference as an observer may also be considered. Thus, according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided an implementation example according to which the identity authentication component 30 comprises: a second authentication unit configured to determine that the caller should be treated as an observer of the conference room and is required to authenticate it Identification information if the determination unit 32 detects,

After the calling subscriber is considered as an observer of the conference, a decision is made on the need to authenticate his identification information. To determine whether the caller should be allowed access to the conference room, you can request the called party and / or the conference administrator whether to allow the caller to access the conference room. Thus, according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an implementation example whereby the second authentication unit comprises: a first sub-block of the request configured to request the called subscriber whether to grant the caller access to the conference room; The second sub-block of the request, configured to request the administrator of the conference room, whether the caller should be granted access to the conference room if, as a result of the request made by the first sub-block of the request, it is determined that the called subscriber allows the caller to access the conference room; and a second authentication success authentication subunit configured to determine that the authentication of the caller identification is successful if the result of the request made by the second sub-request unit indicates that the administrator allows the caller to access the conference room.

Of course, according to this method, the decision on whether to grant the caller access to the conference can be made by the called subscriber and / or the conference administrator, or the called subscriber or other conference participants, namely: one or more conference participants. In addition, the order of definition varies; and making a decision at first by the called subscriber, and then by the administrator of the conference room is just an example of implementation. Thus, the conference monitoring function can be implemented for an unplanned conference participant, the scope of the present invention can be expanded and the telecommunications operator can quickly and economically conduct its business.

In Fig. 7 is a block diagram of a component structure for directly accessing a conference system by calling a conference participant in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 7, the conference system contains: a conference component, a registration component for information about conference participants, a logical processing component, and a database component. The structure of these components is described below.

The conference component performs standard teleconferencing functions, including the implementation of a teleconferencing server, conference management, conference operator management, and the like.

The registration component of the conference participants information is configured to register information about the conference participant, such as the conference participant number, conference state and conference room number, before the call receiving component accepts the call from the caller and after joining the conference participant.

The functions of the logical processing component are the same as those performed by the identity authentication component described in the above embodiment. After calling the service by the calling subscriber by dialing the prefix and the number of the called subscriber, the component requests the access number of the corresponding conference room on the basis of the number of the called subscriber, requests information about the participants of the corresponding conference; the called subscriber authenticates the number of the calling subscriber; and the caller is granted access to the corresponding conference after authorization is completed and permission is received from the conference administrator.

The database component stores the data required for the conference system.

Based on each component of the conference system described in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a description will now be given of a method for accessing the conference using each component of the conference system. In Fig. 8 shows an algorithm for executing a method for implementing a conference access process using the corresponding components of a conference system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 8, the method includes the following steps (S802-S822).

Step S802: The conference is called. The conference component performs standard teleconferencing functions. After the time of the pre-determined conference, one or more conference participants access the conference through an outgoing call from the system or the initial dialing of the number, or in other ways; and the conference is convened in the usual way.

Step S804: The system registers information about the participants of the conference. After the conference is called, the registration component of the information on the participants of the conference registers information about the participants of the conference, including such information as the presence of each participant at the conference, the number of the corresponding conference hall, etc.

Step S806: The caller is accessing the system. The calling subscriber A dials the prefix and the number of the called subscriber B, and on the side of the switched network, prefix analysis and access to the system are performed.

Step S808: Check if the information about the participants of the conference contains information about the called subscriber B. After the system accepts the call, the prefix number is deleted and the information about the conference participants is requested based on the number of the called subscriber B. If the called subscriber B is an participant of the interactive conference according to the system information, the number of the corresponding conference room is extracted, and step S810 is performed, otherwise step S822 is performed.

Step S810: check whether the calling subscriber A is a scheduled participant in the conference; request list of conference participants; if caller A is a scheduled participant in the conference, step S820 is performed, otherwise step S812 is performed.

Step S812: The called party determines whether to allow caller A to access the conference. If the calling subscriber A is not in the list of participants of the conference and wants to become an observer, the called subscriber B initially authenticates the caller A; and the system transmits a voice request to the called subscriber B, for example: "subscriber A calls and wants to join the conference, whether to allow subscriber A to join the conference? Press 1 for permission or press 2 for rejection." If the called subscriber B allows subscriber A to join the conference, then step S814 is performed, otherwise step S818 is performed.

Step S814: The conference administrator determines whether to allow caller A access to the conference; after successful identification of the caller A performed by the called subscriber B, the system transmits to the conference administrator a voice request or a request via the WEB interface, for example: "subscriber A calls the subscriber B and wishes to monitor the conference whether to allow subscriber A to become an observer? permission or press 2 for failure. " If the conference administrator allows subscriber A to become an observer of the conference, then step S816 is performed, otherwise step S818 is performed.

Step S816: Caller A is granted access to the conference. The execution of the algorithm is completed.

Step S818: send a voice message to the caller A, for example: "denied permission to connect to the conference." The execution of the algorithm is completed.

Step S820: issuing a request for entering the conference password. After successful password authentication, step S816 is performed.

Step S822: send a voice message to the caller A, for example: "the called party does not participate in the conference". The execution of the algorithm is completed.

From the above description of an embodiment of the present invention, it is apparent that the caller is accessing the conference room by directly calling a conference participant. With the embodiments of the present invention, a flexible network configuration is implemented, the caller's access algorithm to the conference room is optimized, the amount of application of the conference access method is increased, and the efficiency and proportion of successful caller access attempts to the conference room is increased.
