Abstract

A display allocation method is disclosed herein. The display allocation method is applied to a display in a conference meeting and comprises the following steps: allocating a first, a second and a third image block on the display, in which sizes of the first and the second image block are larger than size of the third image block; detecting an effective sound of a first candidate video corresponding to the third image block to identify whether the first candidate video is effective; setting one of the first and the second image block as a primary image block, and setting another one of the first and the second image block as a secondary image block, in which the secondary image block includes a secondary video; and allocating the first candidate video and the secondary video to the secondary and the third image block respectively if the first candidate video is effective.
