Hereinafter, specific examples of the present scheme will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an example of an information processing environment 100, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The information processing environment 100 includes a first electronic device 110, a server 120, a second electronic device 130, a telephone network 140, and a telephone 150.

In some embodiments, the first electronic device 110 may be an electronic device that is capable of wireless transceiving and may access the internet. The first electronic device 110 is for example, but not limited to, a mobile phone, a smart phone, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a wearable device, etc. In this case, the second electronic device 130 may include an audio input-output device, such as a smart speaker, a bluetooth headset, or the like. The first electronic device 110 is also for example, but not limited to, a smart speaker, in which case the second electronic device 130 is for example, but not limited to, a mobile phone, a smart phone, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a wearable device, and the like.

In some embodiments, the first electronic device 110 may include at least a communication module, a memory, and a processor. The communication module is used for communicating with the server 120 and the second electronic device 130. The memory is used to store one or more computer programs. The processor is coupled to the memory and executes the one or more programs to enable the electronic device 110 to perform one or more functions. The first electronic device 110 may store a meeting schedule, transmit a call request to the server 120 to call a phone number in the meeting schedule based on a start time of the meeting schedule, recognize an instruction to prompt to input a password in a voice message for the phone number from the server 120, and transmit the password for the meeting in the meeting schedule to the server 120 in order to join the meeting.

The server 120 includes, but is not limited to, personal computers, server computers, multiprocessor systems, mainframe computers, distributed computing environments that include any of the above systems or devices, and the like. In some embodiments, the server 120 may have one or more processing units, including special purpose processing units such as GPUs, FPGAs, ASICs, and the like, as well as general purpose processing units such as CPUs. In addition, one or more virtual machines may also be running on the server 120.

In some embodiments, a platform for telephone calls may be implemented in the server 120. In some embodiments, the server 120 may be part of a platform for telephone calls. The server 120 is used for sending a call request from the first electronic device 110 to the telephone network 140 and for a call between the first electronic device 110 and the telephone network 140. Server 120 may comprise, for example, a SIP server.

The telephone network 140 may include, for example, a PSTN telephone network.

The actions performed by the first electronic device 110 will be described in detail below in conjunction with fig. 2.

Fig. 2 shows a flow diagram of a method 200 for information processing according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, the method 200 may be performed by the first electronic device 110 as shown in fig. 1. It should be understood that method 200 may also include additional blocks not shown and/or may omit blocks shown, as the scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

At block 202, at the first electronic device 110, a meeting start time, a phone number, and a password are determined based on the acquired meeting schedule. For example, the meeting schedule indicates that the meeting start time is 3 pm, the telephone number of the meeting is 021 + 12345678, and the password is 1234.

At block 204, it is determined whether the time interval between the current time and the conference start time is less than a predetermined time interval. The predetermined time interval is, for example, but not limited to, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, etc.

If at block 204 it is determined that the time interval between the current time and the conference start time is less than the predetermined time interval, at block 206 a call request is sent to the server 120 for calling the telephone number. The call request may include, for example, an SIP INVITE message including a telephone number in a meeting calendar.

At block 208, it is confirmed whether a voice message regarding the phone number is received from the server 120.

If it is determined at block 208 that a voice message for the telephone number is received from the server 120, at block 210, an instruction in the voice message to prompt for a password is identified. The instruction for prompting the password is, for example, but not limited to, a voice instruction such as "please enter a conference password".

If it is determined at block 210 that the instruction is recognized, at block 212, a password for the telephone number is sent to the server 120 for the communication device associated with the telephone number to join the conference.

Therefore, when the start time of the teleconference is close, the teleconference is automatically called and added, the voice instruction for prompting the input of the password is identified, and the password for the teleconference is automatically input, so that the teleconference can be automatically added without feeling, the efficiency of adding the teleconference is improved, and the complex manual operation is avoided.

In some embodiments, sending the call request to the server 120 includes announcing voice prompt information as to whether to start the conference, and sending the call request to the server 120 if it is determined that positive voice feedback from the user is received. The voice prompt information is, for example, but not limited to, information such as "whether to start a meeting". The positive voice feedback is, for example, but not limited to, voice feedback such as "yes", "may", "good", etc. Therefore, the user can be prompted first, and the conference is started after the user confirms, so that the satisfaction degree of the user is improved.

In some embodiments, the first electronic device 110 may comprise, for example, a smart speaker. In this case, in some embodiments, method 200 may further include receiving a meeting schedule from second electronic device 130, second electronic device 130 being connected to the smart speaker. The second electronic device 130 may comprise, for example, a smartphone, a notebook computer, or the like. Therefore, the conference schedule on the electronic equipment such as a smart phone or a notebook computer can be automatically synchronized to the smart sound box in advance, so that the smart sound box can automatically initiate a conference call based on the conference schedule.

In such cases, in further embodiments, method 200 may further include identifying the received user voice input to obtain a start time, a phone number, and a password for the meeting if it is determined that the user voice input is associated with the meeting schedule, and generating the meeting schedule based on the start time, the phone number, and the password. For example, it may be determined that the user speech input is associated with a meeting schedule by identifying keywords such as "meeting schedule," "meeting reminder," etc. in the user speech input. Therefore, the user can input the telephone conference information into the intelligent sound box in advance, so that the intelligent sound box generates a conference schedule, and a conference call can be automatically initiated according to the conference schedule.

Alternatively or additionally, in some embodiments, the method 200 may further include presenting prompt information regarding whether to input and output audio information for the conference via the audio input-output device if it is determined that the connectable audio input-output device is detected, and inputting and outputting the audio information for the conference via the audio input-output device if it is determined that the positive feedback of the user is received. Inputting and outputting audio information for the conference via the audio input-output device may specifically include connecting the audio input-output device, and inputting and outputting audio information for the conference via the connected audio input-output device. The audio input and output devices may include, for example, a smart speaker, a bluetooth headset, etc. Thus, it is possible to detect and prompt a user of a nearby connectable audio input-output device when a conference call is initiated, and input and output audio information for a conference via the audio input-output device after confirmation by the user, so that it is possible to improve an audio effect for the conference.

Alternatively or additionally, in some embodiments, method 200 may further include determining an audio input-output device for the conference based on a conference room identifier indicated in the conference schedule, and inputting and outputting audio information for the conference via the determined audio input-output device. Therefore, the audio input and output device associated with the conference room identifier can be automatically determined, and the audio information for the conference can be input and output through the audio input and output device, so that the intelligent conference system is intelligent and convenient.

Fig. 3 shows a schematic flow diagram of a method 300 for determining an audio input output device for a conference according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, the method 300 may be performed by the first electronic device 110 as shown in fig. 1. It should be understood that method 300 may also include additional blocks not shown and/or may omit blocks shown, as the scope of the disclosure is not limited in this respect.

At block 302, a meeting room identifier indicated in a meeting schedule is obtained. The conference room identifier is for example but not limited to "conference room 1", "shanty conference room", etc.

At block 304, identification information of connectable audio input-output devices is obtained. The connectable may include a wireless connectable such as bluetooth connectable, wifi connectable, etc. In some embodiments, the identification information may include name information, and the name information of the audio input-output device may be set to be, for example and without limitation, "audio input-output device of conference room 1", "audio input-output device of shanshan conference room", and the like.

At block 306, it is determined whether the identification information includes a meeting room identifier.

If it is determined at block 306 that the identification information includes a meeting room identifier, then at block 308, it is determined that the audio input-output device associated with the identification information is an audio input-output device for the meeting. For example, if the name information of the audio input-output device includes "conference room 1", the audio input-output device is an audio input-output device for conference room 1.

Therefore, the audio input and output device for the conference can be determined by whether the name information of the audio input and output device comprises the conference room identifier in the conference schedule, and the method is visual and convenient.

Fig. 4 shows a schematic flow diagram of a method 400 for determining an audio input output device for a conference according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, the method 400 may be performed by the first electronic device 110 as shown in fig. 1. It should be understood that method 400 may also include additional blocks not shown and/or may omit blocks shown, as the scope of the disclosure is not limited in this respect.

At block 402, a meeting room identifier indicated in a meeting schedule is obtained.

At block 404, the audio input-output device mapped with the conference room identifier is searched for in the mapping information of the conference room and the audio input-output device. For example, the first electronic device 110 may store mapping information of a conference room and an audio input output device, such as a mapping table, and may search the mapping information for an identifier of the audio input output device mapped with the conference room identifier. The identifier may include, for example, a name, a device number, a MAC address, and the like.

At block 406, the found audio input-output device mapped with the meeting room identifier is determined to be an audio input-output device for the meeting.

Thus, the audio input and output device for the conference can be conveniently found through the mapping information.
