Abstract

Disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure are an interaction method and apparatus, and an electronic device. A specific implementation of the method comprises: receiving a multimedia data stream sent by a user participating in a multimedia conference; determining a live multimedia data stream from the multimedia data stream based on a received live instruction of the multimedia conference; and transmitting the live multimedia data stream to a live server, in order that the live server generates a live data stream from the multimedia conference based on the live multimedia data stream.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An information interaction method, applied to a multimedia conference server, and the information interaction method comprising:
receiving a multimedia data stream sent by a user participating in a multimedia conference;
determining a live multimedia data stream from the multimedia data stream based on a received live instruction of the multimedia conference;
transmitting the live multimedia data stream to a live server, in order that the live server generates a live data stream of the multimedia conference based on the live multimedia data stream; and
receiving information of a sharing user sent by the live server, in order that the information of the sharing user is displayed on a first client terminal of a user participating in the multimedia conference, wherein the live server distributes the live data stream to a second client terminal of the sharing user according to a sharing request of the sharing user, and acquires the information of the sharing user, and wherein the sharing user is an audience of the live data stream,
wherein the live multimedia data stream comprises audio data streams of at least part of users participating in the multimedia conference, wherein
respective accumulated audio energy of the audio data streams of each of the part of the users participating in the multimedia conference within a preset time period is greater than a first preset audio energy threshold; and/or
respective volumes corresponding to the audio data streams of each of the part of the users participating in the multimedia conference are greater than a first preset volume threshold.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the live multimedia data stream comprises the multimedia data stream from the user participating in the multimedia conference, and the transmitting the live multimedia data stream to a live server, in order that the live server generates a live data stream from the multimedia conference based on the live multimedia data stream comprises:
transmitting the multimedia data stream from the user participating in the multimedia conference to the live server, for the live server to combine the received multimedia data stream of the user participating in the multimedia conference to generate the live data stream.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining a live multimedia data stream from the multimedia data stream comprises:
combining multimedia data streams of at least part of users participating in the multimedia conference, to generate the live multimedia data stream.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the live multimedia data stream further comprises at least one of:
a video data stream of a target user among the users participating in the multimedia conference; and
current shared screen information data of the user participating in the multimedia conference.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the target user comprises at least one of:
a user with a largest volume among a plurality of speaking users participating in the multimedia conference;
a user participating in the multimedia conference with largest accumulated audio energy in a preset time period comprising a current moment; and
a user participating in the multimedia conference with a preset identification.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the information of the sharing user comprises: identification information of the sharing user, information on the number of the sharing user and/or feedback information of the sharing user.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the feedback information comprises multimedia information and/or text information.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the text information comprises text information obtained by recognizing the multimedia information by the live server.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the feedback information of the sharing user comprises a video screenshot of a live data stream segment corresponding to the feedback information.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving information of a sharing user sent by the live server, so that the information of the sharing user is displayed on a first client terminal of each user participating in the multimedia conference comprises:
sending the information of the sharing user to at least one user participating in the multimedia conference, so that the first terminal device of the user participating in the multimedia conference displays the information of the sharing user as at least one of: a floating window, a pop-up window, a preset window area of the multimedia conference, and a bullet chat.
