Abstract

Disclosed are an online meeting interface method and apparatus, a medium, and a computer program product, which relate to the technical field of online meetings. The method includes obtaining a frame background image of the online meeting in a same-frame mode; generating a same-frame picture based on the frame background image and video pictures of participants, the video pictures of different participants being displayed at different positions of the frame background image; and pushing the same-frame picture to clients of the participants. The clients may display the same-frame picture in the online meeting interface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An online meeting interface display method, performed by a server, the method comprising:
obtaining a frame background image of the online meeting in a same-frame mode; generating a same-frame picture based on the frame background image and video pictures of participants, the video pictures of different participants being displayed at different positions of the frame background image; and pushing the same-frame picture to clients of the participants, comprising:
receiving, from a first client, a layout parameter request requesting layout parameters of the same-frame picture, the layout parameter request being generated in response to an operation on enabling a same-frame mode of the online meeting in the first client; and
sending the layout parameters of the same-frame picture to the first client to render the same-frame picture based on the layout parameters.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the generating a same-frame picture based on the frame background image and video pictures of participants comprises:
determining picture positions of the participants corresponding to the video pictures in the frame background image; and generating the same-frame picture based on the picture positions and the video pictures.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining picture positions of the participants corresponding to the video pictures in the frame background image comprises:
obtaining a video access order of the participants, the video access order being a sequence in which the participants enable video access in the online meeting; and determining the picture positions of the participants corresponding to the video pictures in the frame background image based on the video access order.

4 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the determining picture positions of the participants corresponding to the video pictures in the frame background image comprises:
obtaining participation identifiers of the participants, the participation identifiers representing roles of the participants in the online meeting; and determining the picture positions of the participants corresponding to the video pictures in the frame background image based on the participation identifiers.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the obtaining, in response to that an online meeting enables same-frame mode, a frame background image of the online meeting comprises:
receiving, in response to that the online meeting enables the same-frame mode, a frame background image selection request transmitted by a host client, the frame background image selection request containing the frame background image used by the online meeting; and obtaining the frame background image of the online meeting based on the frame background image selection request.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:
receiving a position adjustment instruction of the host client on the video pictures in the same-frame picture; and updating the same-frame picture based on the position adjustment instruction, and pushing an updated same-frame picture to the clients of the participants.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
receiving a setting request for the frame background image, the setting request containing the layout parameters of the frame background image; and associatively storing the layout parameters and the same-frame mode to render the same-frame picture using the frame background image based on the layout parameters.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the generating a same-frame picture based on the frame background image and video pictures of participants comprises:
obtaining participation identifiers of the participants, the participation identifiers representing roles of the participants in the online meeting; dividing the participants into a first object set and a second object set based on the participation identifiers; and displaying the video pictures of the participants in the first object set in the frame background image, and displaying the video pictures of the participants in the second object set around the frame background image to generate the same-frame picture.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the obtaining, in response to that an online meeting enables same-frame mode, a frame background image of the online meeting comprises: generating, in response to that the online meeting enables the same-frame mode, a meeting virtual object; allowing the meeting virtual object to join the online meeting; and obtaining the frame background image of the online meeting through an object service of the meeting virtual object; and the generating a same-frame picture based on the frame background image and video pictures of participants comprises: pulling the video pictures of the participants through the object service; and generating, by the object service, the same-frame picture based on the frame background image and the video pictures.

10 . An online meeting interface display method, performed by a terminal, the method comprising:
receiving a meeting joining operation, the meeting joining operation triggering joining an online meeting; transmitting a layout parameter request to the server in response to an operation on enabling a same-frame mode of the online meeting, the layout parameter request requesting layout parameters of a same-frame picture; receiving the layout parameters pushed by the server, and displaying the same-frame picture in an online meeting interface based on the layout parameters, video pictures of different participants in the same-frame picture being displayed at different positions of a same frame background image; and displaying the video picture of the current participant at a picture position of the frame background image in the same-frame picture in response to that video access is enabled.

11 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein
the picture position is a position indicated by a video access order in the frame background image, and the video access order is an order in which the current participant starts video access in the online meeting; or the picture position is a position indicated by a meeting role in the frame background image, and the meeting role is a meeting role of the current participant in the online meeting; or the picture position is a position set by a meeting host in the online meeting.

12 . The method according to claim 11 , further comprising:
receiving, in response to that the online meeting enables the same-frame mode, a meeting role setting operation, and determining the meeting role of the current participant; and transmitting the meeting role to a server, whereby the server determines, according to the meeting role, the picture position of the current participant corresponding to the video picture in the frame background image.

13 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the displaying the video picture of the current participant at a picture position of the frame background image in the same-frame picture in response to that video access is enabled comprises:
uploading a video stream of the current participant to the server in response to that the video access is enabled, the video stream containing the video picture of the current participant; and receiving the same-frame picture pushed by the server, and displaying the video picture of the current participant at the picture position of the frame background image, the same-frame picture being generated based on the video picture and the frame background image.
