Voice processing method, apparatus, and system

A voice processing method implemented by a voice server, comprising:

• receiving, from each terminal of a plurality of terminals, a voice bit stream and voice control information used for the voice server to determine a voice-mixing strategy;
• generating the voice-mixing strategy by generating a first voice-mixing strategy and a second voice-mixing strategy according to the voice control information received from the each terminal;
• according to the first voice-mixing strategy and respectively for the each terminal of the plurality of terminals, selecting multiple voice bit streams that need a voice mixing process;
• and
• according to the second voice-mixing strategy,
• returning the multiple voice bit streams that need the voice mixing process to a corresponding terminal of the plurality of terminals, or
• performing the voice mixing process on the multiple voice bit streams that need the voice mixing process to generate a mixed voice bit stream, and returning the mixed voice bit stream to the corresponding terminal
• wherein:
• the voice control information includes a first voice control information directly extracted from the voice bit stream and a second voice control information related to a current user or a current voice session;
• and
• the second voice control information includes information about whether a voice mixing process is to be performed on the voice server or on the terminal.

A voice processing terminal apparatus, comprising:

• a first obtaining unit configured to obtain a voice bit stream to be sent;
• a second obtaining unit configured to obtain voice control information corresponding to the voice bit stream to be sent, wherein the voice control information is used for a voice server to determine a voice-mixing strategy;
• a sending unit configured to send the voice bit stream and the voice control information to the voice server;
• a receiving unit configured to receive at least one voice bit stream returned by the voice server based on the voice-mixing strategy;
• and
• an output unit configured to output the at least one voice bit stream;
• wherein:
• the voice control information includes a first voice control information directly extracted from the voice bit stream and a second voice control information related to a current user or a current voice session;
• and
• the second voice control information includes information about whether a voice mixing process is to be performed on the voice server or on the voice processing terminal apparatus.

A voice processing server apparatus, comprising:

• a receiving unit configured to receive, from each terminal of a plurality of terminals, a voice bit stream and voice control information used for a voice server to determine a voice-mixing strategy;
• a voice-mixing-strategy generation unit configured to generate the voice-mixing strategy by generating a first voice-mixing strategy and a second voice-mixing strategy according to the voice control information received from the each terminal;
• a selection unit configured to select multiple voice bit streams that need a voice mixing process, according to the first voice-mixing strategy and respectively for the each terminal of the plurality of terminals;
• and
• a voice-mixing processing unit configured to, according to the second voice-mixing strategy,
• return the multiple voice bit streams that need the voice mixing process to a corresponding terminal of the plurality of terminals, or
• perform the voice mixing process on the multiple voice bit streams that need the voice mixing process to generate a mixed voice bit stream, and return the mixed voice bit stream to the corresponding terminal;
• wherein the voice control information includes first voice control information directly extracted from the voice bit stream, and the voice-mixing-strategy generation unit is further configured to generate the first voice-mixing strategy according to the first voice control information;
• and
• wherein:
• the voice control information further includes second voice control information related to a current user or a current session,
• the second voice control information includes information about whether a voice mixing process is to be performed on the voice server or on the terminal, and
• the voice-mixing-strategy generation unit is further configured to generate the second voice-mixing strategy according to the second voice control information.
