Abstract:
1. A method for highlighting a party of interest in video conferencing, comprising: receiving audio and video signals sent by multiple conferencing terminals; converting the received audio and video signals sent by the multiple conferencing terminals into multiple independent video images corresponding to the multiple conferencing terminals; displaying the multiple video images through a display device; obtaining one or more video image display priority signals; adjusting display factors of the multiple video images according to the obtained video image display priority signals such that the multiple video images present different visual characteristics in the display device; detecting audio energy in the audio and video signals sent by the multiple conferencing terminals; and generating the video image display priority signals according to the audio energy in the audio and video signals, wherein the video image display priority signals indicate that a video image display priority of audio and video signals of which the audio energy is the highest or the audio energy is higher than a predetermined audio energy threshold is highest, and wherein adjusting display factors of the multiple video images according to the received video image display priority signals specifically comprises enhancing the display factors of the video image that has the highest video image priority and weakening the display factors of the other video images.
