Patent ID: 8866875

Claim:
A method for controlling a video communication conference place environment, comprising: generating illumination feedback information indicating an illumination effect of a video communication conference place, wherein the illumination feedback information comprises: a parameter indicating an illumination flaw or a parameter indicating correction of the illumination flaw; outputting the illumination feedback information, so that a lighting controlling device in the video communication conference place controls lighting in the video communication conference place according to the illumination feedback information; wherein the generating the illumination feedback information indicating the illumination effect of the video communication conference place comprises: obtaining an image of the video communication conference place shot by an image shooting apparatus; and generating the illumination feedback information according to the image; wherein the generating the illumination feedback information according to the image comprises: obtaining a parameter denoting brightness of the image, when determining that the parameter denoting brightness of the image is greater than a first threshold, generating a parameter indicating excessively strong illumination or a parameter indicating reduction of lighting illuminance; and when determining that the parameter denoting brightness of the image is smaller than a second threshold, generating a parameter indicating excessively weak illumination or a parameter indicating increase of the lighting illuminance; or, determining whether a color shift occurs in a background color of the image, and if yes, determining an illumination flaw causing the color shift occurring in the background color of the image, and generating a parameter indicating the illumination flaw or a parameter indicating correction of the illumination flaw; or, extracting a character image from the image, and determining whether a color shift occurs in a character skin color in the character image, and if yes, determining an illumination flaw causing the color shift occurring in the character skin color, and generating a parameter indicating the illumination flaw or a parameter indicating correction of the illumination flaw; or, determining whether a noise exists in the image, and if yes, determining an illumination flaw causing the noise, and generating a parameter indicating the illumination flaw or a parameter indicating correction of the illumination flaw.
