Description

Group session processing method, terminal, server and system

Technical Field

The present invention relates to communications technologies, and in particular, to a group session processing method, a terminal, a server, and a system.

Background

With the development of the internet, especially the mobile internet, Instant Messaging (IM) technology has been widely used for various Instant Messaging clients such as WeChat and QQ due to the deep integration of the IM technology and the social interaction with the internet.

The current instant messaging supports the establishment of a conversation of a group comprising a plurality of member users, and messages issued by any member user in the conversation in the group can be pushed to other member users of the group, so that the plurality of member users can discuss the same affair or the same topic conveniently, and the communication efficiency is improved.

In practical application, a large number of groups exist, and different groups have a demand for sharing messages, and related technologies provide a group merging mode to realize message sharing among original different groups, which causes a problem of interference after the groups are merged.

In particular, in practical applications, members of different groups have inevitable differences in attributes and security requirements, and often have topic agreement (closeness) in some cases, so that there is a need to temporarily share messages, for example, when a specific event is discussed in a specific period. Although the scheme of simply merging groups provided by the related art can implement message sharing, in most cases, because the topics of the original group before group merging are often inconsistent, the topics discussed by the group before merging are inevitably different from other groups before merging, and interference is often caused to other groups before merging.

In summary, no effective solution exists in the related art for avoiding interference between different groups and improving the efficiency of instant messaging while sharing messages among the groups of instant messaging.

Detailed Description

The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the examples provided herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the following embodiments are provided as partial embodiments for implementing the present invention, not all embodiments for implementing the present invention, and the technical solutions described in the embodiments of the present invention may be implemented in any combination without conflict.

Before further detailed description of the present invention, terms and expressions referred to in the embodiments of the present invention are described, and the terms and expressions referred to in the embodiments of the present invention are applicable to the following explanations.

1) Instant messaging refers to services capable of sending and receiving internet messages and the like instantly, and may integrate a plurality of functions such as text messages, rich media messages, e-mails, blogs, music, television, games, and searches.

2) The group is a set of a plurality of member users performing instant messaging, and group information (such as member users) and additional applications such as a shared space (used for storing files uploaded by the member users) and a discussion community are maintained on a network side server.

For example, a group includes both types of group and discussion group. Generally, the life cycle of the group is not limited unless the administrative users of the group actively dismiss the group, the declaration period of the discussion group has a limitation of liveness, and the server actively dismiss the discussion group when the liveness of the discussion group is not satisfactory (e.g., no member user publishes a message within a predetermined time).

In addition, no additional application, fewer additional applications in the group or additional applications with limited functions in the group are set in the network side server for the discussion group.

Embodiments of the present invention are applicable to both groups and discussion groups, and thus no distinction is made between groups and discussion groups hereinafter.

3) A session, a bearer for two or more users performing instant messaging to send and receive messages during the instant messaging, for example, user 1 and user 2 establish a session through an instant messaging server through respective instant messaging clients, the session may be in a state of being maintained all the time, or may be closed after timeout, and any end of the instant messaging, such as a user side terminal and a network side server, may initiate establishment and revocation of the session.

4) The message stream, a set of messages issued by member users of the group in the group session, is generally formed by arranging according to the order of time of issuance, or may be formed by arranging according to the member users.

5) And the source group shares the group of the message stream issued by the member user in the session to the target group.

6) And the target group is a group which shares the message stream issued in the session of the source group in the session of the target group.

7) The member users, the users included in the group, include administrative users having group administrator privileges and regular users not having administrator privileges.

Aiming at the problems that the related technology can not effectively share messages among groups for realizing instant messaging and can avoid message interference, a group sharing mode aiming at a source group and a target group is provided.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an optional service logic architecture of a group session processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is an optional flowchart illustrating a group session processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, which determines an instant communication scenario of a target group in a group sharing mode and a source group (step 101) that needs to share a message to the target group, by acquiring a message stream issued by a member user of the target group in a target group session (i.e., a session between member users of the target group) (step 102), and acquiring a message stream issued by a member user of the source group in a source group session (i.e., a session between member users of the source group) (step 103), except for executing a service logic in a non-group sharing mode, that a message stream is sent to a member user of the source group, the method comprises the following steps: 1) sending a message stream issued by other member users in the source group session to the member users in the source group (step 104); 2) sending the message flow issued by other member users in the target group session to the member users of the target group (step 105); additional business logic in the group sharing mode is also executed, i.e., a message stream published in the source group session is sent to the member users of the target group (step 106).

It can be seen that the group sharing mode can achieve the effect of sharing the message stream issued in the source group session in the target group only by adding an additional processing logic at the message stream level, and since the additional processing logic can easily achieve coupling and decoupling with the conventional service processing logic of instant messaging at the network side (service logic of the non-group sharing mode), on one hand, the processing logic of the source group session and the target group session in the non-group sharing mode does not need to be changed by coupling, and the message sharing does not need to be achieved by merging groups, thereby achieving the effect of efficiently sharing messages among groups; on the other hand, the group sharing mode can be conveniently quitted through decoupling, the problem of interference caused by continuous sharing of messages among groups is avoided, and the communication efficiency is improved.

Referring to fig. 3-1, fig. 3-1 is an optional flowchart of group session management provided in an embodiment of the present invention, which relates to a target group, a source group, and a network side server, and is suitable for such an instant messaging scenario, where a message stream issued by a member user in the source group in a session of the source group needs to be shared into a session of a member user in the target group, that is, a target group session, so that the member user in the target group views a message in the message stream. The implementation of the instant messaging scenario described above is described with reference to the steps shown in fig. 3-1.

In step 201, a terminal at a user side of a member of a group (a target group and/or a source group) determines a target group in a group sharing mode and a source group that needs to share a message with the target group, and submits a sharing request to a server.

The instant messaging client is used for establishing a group session through a server, the group instant messaging client and the server communicate based on an agreed communication protocol, and the instant messaging client and the terminal running the instant messaging client are not distinguished in the following.

It is to be understood that the number of the source group and the target group may be one or more, and for convenience of description, the following description will be given by taking unidirectional message sharing from the source group to the target group as an example, but the present invention is also applicable to an instant messaging scenario in which bidirectional message sharing is performed between groups.

For example, for group 1 and group 2, group 1 needs to share the message stream issued by the member users of group 1 in the session of group 1 into the session of group 2, so that the member users of group 2 can see the message issued by the member users of group 1; at this time, group 1 is the source group, and group 2 is the target group; meanwhile, the group 2 needs to share the message stream issued by the member user of the group 2 in the group 2 session to the session of the group 1, so that the member user of the group 1 can see the message issued by the member user of the group 2, at this time, the group 2 is a source group, and the group 1 is a target group.

In one embodiment, a member user side terminal of a target group receives a sharing request submitted by a member user of the target group, wherein the sharing request carries an identifier of a source group and an identifier of the target group, which are set by the member user, and the identifier of the source group and the identifier of the target group are carried in the sharing request and submitted to a server.

For example, in order to ensure the security of message sharing, an instant messaging client running in a terminal performs targeted processing on a sharing request according to the authority of a member user submitting the sharing request, and the method includes the following 2 optional modes:

1) sharing request submitted by management user of target group

When the instant communication client detects that the sharing request comes from the management user, the instant communication client directly submits the sharing request to the server because the management user has the highest authority aiming at the target group.

2) Sharing requests submitted by regular users of a target group

When the instant messaging client detects that the sharing request is from a conventional user, the instant messaging client forwards the sharing request to the instant messaging client of the management user, and after the management user confirms, the instant messaging client of the management user initiates the sharing request to the server, or when the instant messaging client of the management user receives the same sharing requests (namely the carried source group identification and target group identification are the same) from a sufficient number (exceeding a threshold) of conventional users, the fact that the common requirement that the source group shares messages to the target group exists in the target group is indicated, the management user does not wait for confirmation, the sharing request is directly submitted to the server, and the intelligent degree of the message sharing mode is improved.

In another embodiment, a member user side terminal of a source group submits a sharing request, which is submitted by a member user of the source group, such as a management user or a regular user, and carries an identifier of the source group and an identifier of a target group in the sharing request to a server.

For example, similar to processing a sharing request from a target group, in order to ensure the security of message sharing, an instant messaging client running in a terminal performs targeted processing on the sharing request according to the permission of a member user submitting the sharing request, specifically:

1) when the instant communication client detects a sharing request submitted by a management user of a source group, the instant communication client directly submits the sharing request to a server because the management user has the highest authority aiming at a target group;

2) when the instant messaging client detects that the sharing request is from a conventional user, the instant messaging client forwards the sharing request to the instant messaging client of the management user, and after the management user confirms, the instant messaging client of the management user initiates the sharing request to the server, or when the instant messaging client of the management user receives the same sharing requests (namely the carried source group identification and target group identification are the same) from a sufficient number (exceeding a threshold) of conventional users, the requirement of sharing the message to the target group generally exists in the group, the management user does not wait for confirmation, the sharing request is directly submitted to the server, and the intelligent degree of the message sharing mode is improved.

In an embodiment, as a more simplified processing manner for a sharing request received by a server, the server may directly respond to the sharing request, that is, respond to each sharing request, establish a group sharing copy between a target group and a source group, and send a message stream issued in a source group session (that is, a message stream issued in the source group session by a member user of the source group) to the target group session according to the group sharing copy. In yet another embodiment, the server ensures the security of the published messages in the group session by performing the optional step 202 described below.

Step 202, the server verifies the sharing request, and establishes a group sharing copy of the target group and the source group after the verification is passed.

In an embodiment, the server determines that the source group can share a message to the target group and establishes a corresponding group sharing copy when detecting that at least one of the following conditions is met based on the identifier of the source group and the identifier of the target group carried by the sharing request, where the identifier of the target group and the identifier of the source group are recorded, and a member user of the target group and a member user of the source group are also recorded.

As the above conditions, the following types of conditions are included:

condition 1) the source group is the same as the administrative user of the target group.

For example, the administrative user may be any member user of the group (source and target groups) that has administrator privileges, including the set-up user of the group (default with administrator privileges), and the user assigned administrator privileges. The message sharing is carried out under the condition that the management users of the source group and the target group are the same, so that the problem of privacy disclosure caused by message sharing among different groups of the management users can be avoided.

Condition 2) topics of the source group and the target group satisfy a similar condition.

The management users of the source group and the target group set the same type when establishing the corresponding group.

For example, the target group and the source group are both infant care discussion groups, or are both subclasses under a predetermined category, for example, the source group is a nail art, the target group is a hand care group, and are both subclasses under a beauty care category. Through condition 2) verification, the sharing request can avoid the problem of message interference caused by inconsistency between a message stream in a source group conversation sent to a target group and a source group topic, and the effect of improving the communication efficiency is realized.

Condition 3) the number of same member users of the source group and the target group exceeds the same member number threshold.

When the number of the same member users of the source group and the target group is larger, the probability of similarity of topics among the groups is larger, and through group sharing, the problem that a large number of users repeatedly receive messages when the management users issue the same messages in the source group and the target group can be solved, resources of a server are saved, and meanwhile interference to the users is reduced.

Condition 4) the same history message was published by the source group and the users of the target group, such as the administrative user or the member users.

When the administrative user is a member user of both the source group and the target group (for example, both administrative users), if the same historical message is published in the source group and the target group, the operation of publishing the same message in the group by the administrative user can be saved through the group sharing mode, and particularly, when the administrative user establishes a plurality of groups, the communication efficiency can be remarkably improved.

It can be understood that the above conditions are used alternatively or in combination according to the actual instant messaging scenario, and in an example combining the conditions 1) and 2), assuming that the user establishes the group 1, the group 2, and the group 3, and the groups are all cosmetics, when the user needs to publish a series of group purchase information of cosmetics in the group 1, and wants the user publishing the groups 2 and 3 to see the group purchase information, the following sharing request is submitted: the source group is group 1 and the target groups are group 2 and group 3.

In step 203, the server obtains the message stream issued by the member users of the source group in the session of the source group.

The message stream issued by the member users of the source group in the source group session includes messages instantly issued by all the member users of the source group, and generally, the message stream is formed by sequencing according to the issuing time of the messages, and of course, sequencing may be performed according to other dimensions such as member users.

In one embodiment, in an instant messaging scenario, a message stream published by a member user of a source group in a session of the source group has a requirement for privacy protection, for example, it is desirable that the published message is not seen by member users outside the source group, so that an effect of flexibly controlling whether the message is allowed to be shared across groups according to the requirement of the user is achieved, and message security is ensured.

The method comprises the steps that a terminal at a member user side of a source group runs an instant messaging client, the member user of the source group is supported to set message attributes of messages of a message stream issued in the source group, whether the message stream is allowed to be shared to a target group is indicated through the message attributes, correspondingly, a server determines the message attributes of the messages issued by the member user of the source group in a session of the source group, determines messages with the message attributes allowed to be shared to the target group and integrates the messages to form the message stream to be sent to the member user of the source group.

For example, message attributes include:

1) and the message visible range is used for indicating users allowed to watch the published message stream in the source group session, and the visible range takes the granularity of member users or the granularity of groups as an example.

For example, a member user of a source group may submit a message setting to the server in the instant messaging client: and correspondingly, the member user has the message attribute of 'visible range-only allowing the group user to view' in the message stream issued in the source group session, and the server determines that the message stream does not support sharing to the target group.

For another example, a member user of a source group may submit a setting such a visibility range to a server in an instant messaging client: and allowing the users outside the group to view, and correspondingly, the member user has a visible range in the message stream published in the source group session, and allowing the users outside the group to view, the server determines that the message stream supports sharing to the target group.

As another example, a member user of a source group may submit a setting such a visibility range to a server in an instant messaging client: and allowing the user 1, the user 2 and the … … user n in the group to watch, and correspondingly, the member user has a message attribute of 'allowing the user 1, the user 2 and the … … user n in the group to watch' in a message stream issued in the source group session, so that the server determines that the message stream does not support sharing to the target group.

As can be seen, when the visible range of the published message stream in the source group session includes the target group, the server determines that the message stream is allowed to be shared with the target group.

2) A message type for indicating from a dimension of the type of message a user allowed to view the published message stream in the source group session.

For example, a member user of a source group may submit a message setting to the server in the instant messaging client: text messaging-user view outside the running group, file sharing messages (including links to the shared space of the source group) -allow only users of the group to view. Then, the member user has a message attribute of "visible range-allowing users outside the group to view" in a message stream published in the source group session, and for a text type message in the message stream, the server determines that the message stream supports sharing to a target group; and for the file sharing message in the message stream, the server determines that the sharing to the target group is not supported.

As can be seen, when the message type of the message stream published in the source group session is the type of the message allowed to be shared to the target group, the server determines that the message stream is allowed to be shared to the target group.

Step 204, the server obtains the message stream issued by the member users of the target group in the target group session.

The message stream issued by the member users of the source group in the target group session includes messages instantly issued by all the member users of the target group, and generally, the message stream is formed by sequencing according to the issuing time of the messages, and of course, the sequencing can be performed according to other dimensions such as the member users.

The following steps 205 and 206 are responses to the step 203, and the step 207 is a response to the step 207, wherein the execution order of the steps 204 and 205 can be arbitrarily exchanged or executed in parallel.

In step 205, the server sends the message stream issued by other member users in the source group session to the member user in the source group.

Because the member users of the source group are in the instant messaging scene, when the server receives the message stream issued by the member users of the source group in the session of the source group, the message stream is sent to other member users in the source group in real time, and the timeliness of the instant messaging is ensured.

In step 206, the terminals of the user sides of other members in the source group receive the message stream, and load the received message stream in the session window of the source group of the instant messaging client operated by the terminal.

For step 205 and step 206, taking the source group including member users 1 to member users 10 as an example, after receiving the messages sent by member users 1 and 2 through the instant messaging client, the server integrates and forms a message stream, and pushes the message stream to the instant messaging clients of other users in the source group, i.e., member users 3 to member users 10.

In addition, the source group member user after the instant communication client sets the message attribute such as the user shielded by the message when issuing the message, correspondingly, the server also determines the user shielded by the message in other users according to the message attribute of each message in the message stream, and sends the message stream to the user not shielded in other member users.

Step 207, the server sends the message stream published in the source group session to the member users of the target group.

In one embodiment, when the server acquires the message stream issued by the member user of the source group in the source group session in step 203, and sends the message stream issued by the other member users in the source group session to the member user of the source group, the message stream (with no order of execution) is also synchronously sent to the other member users of the group of the target group, so that the member users of the target group can also see the message stream of the source group immediately.

In another embodiment, for the message stream published in the source group session, the member users of the target group do not have a real-time viewing requirement, and accordingly, the server sends the collected message stream published in the source group session to the member users of the target group when the sending condition is met by determining whether the obtained message stream meets the sending condition, for example:

1) when the timing of a predetermined period (such as one hour or one day) for acquiring the message flow is reached, the message flow issued in the source group session collected in the predetermined period is sent to the member users of the target group.

2) When the number of the acquired messages (such as 100 messages) in the message stream reaches a preset number, the message stream published in the collected source group session is sent to the member users of the target group.

3) And when the occupied pre-allocated storage space (such as 3 megabytes) occupied in the message stream is acquired, the message stream issued in the collected source group session is sent to the member users of the target group.

And when the preset sending condition is reached, the message flow issued in the source group session acquired in the preset period is sent to the member users of the target group. Therefore, the effect of sharing the message across the groups is achieved, the effect of saving processing resources for the server can be achieved, and meanwhile, the condition that the message flow of the source group is frequently pushed by member users of the target group to cause interference is avoided.

In another embodiment, as shown in step 207, when the server sends the message stream published in the source group session to the member users of the target group, the message stream published in the source group session may be sent to all the member users of the target group, and accordingly, all the member users of the target group receive the message stream.

Alternatively, the server may send the message stream published in the source group session to a part of the member users of the target group according to the identification of the member users in the target group, for example, the part of the member users includes the following cases:

1) part of member users are member users in the target group who have authority to receive the message flow published in the source group session

For example, there is an instant messaging scenario where the administrative user of the target group only wants a portion of the member users to receive the message stream published in the source group session, and the server assigns corresponding rights to the portion of the member users through the instant messaging client.

2) Part of member users are member users in the target group requesting to receive the message flow released in the source group session

The server accurately pushes the message stream to part of member users in the target group according to the actual request (such as whether the member users have the authority of receiving sharing or whether the member users request sharing) of the member users in the target group, so that the cross-group message sharing is realized, meanwhile, the interference to the member users in the target group is avoided, and the communication efficiency is improved.

Step 208, the server sends the message stream issued by other member users in the target group session to the member users in the target group.

For step 208, taking the target group including the member users 1 to 10 as an example, after receiving the messages sent by the member users 1 and 2 through the instant messaging client, the server integrates to form a message stream, and pushes the message stream to the instant messaging clients of the other users in the target group, i.e., the member users 3 to 10.

The following steps 209 and 210 are response processing performed when the member user of the target group acquires the message stream issued by the member user of the source group in the source group session and the message stream issued by the member user of the target group in the target group session, which are sent by the server.

Step 209, the member user side terminal of the target group updates the original session window of the target group to the shared session window of the corresponding target group and the source group in the running instant messaging client.

In one embodiment, the attributes of the original session window of the updated target group are the attributes of the shared session window of the corresponding target group and the source group, and the attributes include at least one of the following: a group name; a group topic; a management user of the group.

In addition, updating the original session window according to whether the same member users (referred to as common member users) exist in the target group and the source group includes the following 2 cases:

case 1) there is no member user in the target group and the source group, and then, for the instant messaging client at the member user side of the target group, the attribute of the target group is updated to the attribute of the sharing window, for example, the names of the source group and the target group are displayed in the title bar of the sharing session window, and the current session window is prompted for message sharing.

Case 2) the target group and the source group have shared member users, and for the instant messaging client at the shared member user side, the original conversation window of the target group and the original conversation window of the source group are displayed, and since the message stream transmitted in the conversation of the source group needs to be shared to the target group, it is not necessary to simultaneously display the conversation windows of 2 groups, and accordingly, the original conversation window of the target group at the shared member user side and the original conversation window of the source group are combined, and the combined conversation window is used as the shared conversation window.

Step 210, the member user side terminal of the target group loads the message stream published in the source group session and loads the message stream published in the target group session in the sharing session window of the running instant messaging client.

And sequencing the message streams issued in the session of the source group and the messages in the message streams issued in the session of the target group according to the issuing sequence, the source user or the source group, and loading the sequenced messages in a sharing session window.

In one embodiment, a scheme for exiting the group sharing mode based on a request of a group management user is provided, and a scheme for exiting the group sharing mode for a regular user according to a request of a regular user of a target group is provided. Referring to fig. 3-2, fig. 3-2 is an optional flowchart illustration of group session management provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and based on fig. 3-1, the method further includes the following steps:

in step 211, the management user side terminal of the source group and/or the target group submits a request for exiting the group sharing mode to the server.

In step 212, the server terminates sending the message stream published in the source group session to the members of the target group (including the administrative user and the regular user) and revokes the group sharing copy.

Step 213, the member user side terminal of the target group exits the group sharing mode in the running instant messaging client, and the sharing session window is restored to the original session window of the target group.

The process of restoring the shared session window to the original session window of the target group according to whether the member user of the target group is a common member user of the target group and the source group includes the following 2 cases:

case 1) when the member user of the target group is a common member user of the target group and the source group, restoring the sharing session window of the corresponding member user side to an original session window of the target group and an original session window of the source group in the instant messaging client of the common member user side;

case 2) when the member user of the target group is not the common member user of the target group and the source group, in the instant messaging client of the common member user side, restoring the sharing session window of the corresponding member user side to be the original session window of the target group.

Thus, when the group sharing mode needs to be exited, the server only needs to terminate the message stream issued in the source group session to the member user of the target group and continue to send the message stream issued in the source group session by other member users in the source group to the member user of the source group, so that the instant messaging client can load the message stream in the original session window of the restored target group; meanwhile, the server also continuously sends the message streams issued by other member users in the target group session to the member users of the target group, so that the instant messaging client can load the message streams in the original session window of the restored target group, and the decoupling of the related service logic of the group sharing mode can be realized.

By multiplexing a part of the architecture of the service logic between the group sharing mode and the non-group sharing mode, the effect of high-efficiency switching between the group sharing mode and the non-group sharing mode can be realized, and compared with the maintenance of independent service logic aiming at the group sharing mode and the non-group sharing mode, the switching efficiency is higher and the server resource is saved.

In one embodiment, a scheme for exiting the group sharing mode based on a request of a regular user of a group is provided, and a scheme for exiting the group sharing mode for the regular user according to a request of a regular user of a target group is provided. Referring to fig. 3-3, fig. 3-3 is an optional flowchart illustration of group session management provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and based on fig. 3-1, the method further includes the following steps:

in step 214, the regular user side terminal of the target group submits a request for exiting the group sharing mode to the server.

In step 215, the server terminates the flow of messages issued in the source group session to regular user members of the target group.

The server stops sending the message flow issued in the source group session to the member users of the target group, and continues sending the message flow issued in the source group session to other member users in the source group to the member users of the source group, so that the instant messaging client can load the message flow in the original session window of the restored target group.

In step 216, the regular user side terminal of the target group exits the group sharing mode in the running instant messaging client, and the sharing session window is restored to the original session window of the target group.

Step 217, the regular user side terminal of the target group continues to load the message stream issued in the target group session in the original session window of the target group in the running instant messaging client.

The process of restoring the shared session window to the original session window of the target group according to whether the regular user of the target group is a member user shared with the source group in the target group includes the following 2 cases:

case 1) when the regular user of the target group is a member user shared by the target group and the source group, restoring the sharing session window of the corresponding regular user side into the original session window of the target group and the original session window of the source group in the instant messaging client of the regular user side;

case 2) when the regular user of the target group is not the common member user of the target group and the source group, in the instant messaging client of the common member user side, restoring the sharing session window of the corresponding member user side to the original session window of the target group.

For the members in the target group who do not submit the request for exiting the group sharing mode, the message stream issued in the source group session is still continuously received, and the member users in the target group are supported to actively exit the group sharing mode, so that the flexibility of the group sharing mode is improved, and the message interference is avoided.

In one embodiment, when the group sharing mode is performed, the server synchronizes the message stream issued in the source group session in the message record of the server side of the target group and the message stream issued in the target group session by the member user in the target group (step 218), and in addition, the message record can be synchronized to the instant messaging client of the member user side for viewing according to the requirement of the member user in the target group.

When exiting the group sharing mode, the message stream issued in the source group session is deleted in the message record of the server side of the target group maintained by the server (step 219), and in addition, the message stream issued in the source group session is deleted in the synchronized message record of the member user side of the target group (such as in the instant messaging client), and only the message stream issued in the target group session is reserved, so that for the member user of the target group, the message record including the message stream issued in the source group session is only valid in the life cycle of the group sharing mode, and cannot be viewed after exiting the group sharing mode, thereby achieving the effect of ensuring the message security.

To illustrate the software and hardware architecture of the foregoing terminal and server, in the software level, the group session processing apparatus may be implemented as executable instructions stored in a storage medium, including computer executable instructions such as programs and modules, and the storage medium may be distributed and disposed in an instant messaging server and a user side terminal, such as an instant messaging client configured to run in the user side terminal and an instant messaging management service configured in a network side server.

Referring to fig. 8 and 9, fig. 8 is an optional flowchart of a group session processing method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 9 is an optional structural schematic diagram of a group session processing system provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and for the following instant communication scenario,

in the service scene of instant messaging, a management user establishes a plurality of groups through an instant messaging client, the content of group discussion is the same, when the management user chats with member users of the plurality of groups, the member user of one group cannot see messages in other groups, the messages cannot be shared across the groups, if the member user of the group transfers the information to the member users of other groups, information loss or ambiguity may exist, if the management user replies in a session window of each group respectively for the same problem proposed by the member users in the plurality of groups, the efficiency of instant messaging is seriously influenced for the management user, and the intercommunication of the messages is not facilitated.

The instant messaging client side of the member user side of the group is internally provided with a group sharing mode for realizing the function of sharing the group information.

It is assumed that the administrative user (the user who establishes the group and the user who has the administrator authority of the group) manages 2 groups (naturally, the same applies to a plurality of groups, and the following description will be given by taking 2 groups (group 1 and group 2) as an example), and the types of the groups are similar, and thus the topics discussed in the groups are close.

Assuming that the management user initiates sharing of the message in the group 2 to the group 1 at the instant messaging client (of course, the management user may also initiate sharing of the message in the group 1 to the group 2 at the same time), the following description will take sharing of the message in the group 2 to the group 1 as an example, and the sharing of the message in the group 1 to the group 2 may be implemented based on the understanding of the following description.

One, set up

For the administrative users of group 1 and group 2, the following member user settings may be made;

1) the member users in group 1 having the right to receive the messages shared in group 2 may be all the member users of group 1 by default.

2) The member users in group 2 that can share messages with group 1 may default to all member users of group 2.

For the member users of group 2, the following privacy settings may be made for the messages published within group 2 to secure the messages:

1) and the visible range is used for indicating whether the message issued by the member user of the group 2 in the group 2 is allowed to be shared outside the group 2. For example, only the members of the group are visible, but the message is invisible to the non-members of the group;

2) a message type for performing a message type that allows sharing outside group 2, or a message type indicating that sharing outside group 2 is not allowed. For example, for file type messages, member users outside group 2 are not supported for download.

For the member users of group 1, it can be set whether to receive the shared messages within group 2 to avoid unnecessary interference.

In addition, the storage of the message records of the group 1 and the group 2 is also involved in the group sharing mode, in order to ensure the message security, the server only stores the message in the group 2 in the message record maintained by aiming at the group 1 in the life cycle of the group sharing mode, when the group sharing mode is terminated, the message in the group 2 is not stored in the message record of the group 1 any more, and the message records of the member user side of the group 2 are synchronized.

The server forms a group sharing copy of the group 1 and the group 2 according to the setting, stores the setting, and integrates the attributes of the two groups, including the basic information of the group 1 and the group 2, such as the included member users, for message pushing.

In the group sharing mode, the server maintains the session of the group 1 and the group 2, that is, the server pushes the message issued by the member user of the group 1 in the session of the group 1 to the other member users of the group 1, pushes the message issued by the member user of the group 2 in the session of the group 2 to the other member users of the group 1, and pushes the message of the group 2 to the member users of the group 1 according to the group sharing copy.

Second, message pushing

The processing of the message of group 2 after being pushed to the different member users of group 1 will be described.

1) Administrative users of group 1

For the management user of the group 1, since the session window of the group 1 and the session window of the group 2 are displayed in the instant messaging client, the instant messaging client merges 2 session windows into 1 session window, and the session windows are identified as the names of the group 1 and the group 2.

Referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is an optional display diagram of a session window of a merged group according to an embodiment of the present invention, where messages of a group 1 and a group 2 are displayed in the merged sharing session window, a name of a source user and a group to which the source user belongs are identified in the messages, and the messages may be sorted according to the source user, the group to which the source user belongs, or a publishing time. Messages of different groups and member users may be visually distinguished, such as by labeling the messages of different groups with a distinctive color.

Of course, optionally, referring to fig. 11, fig. 11 is an optional display diagram of the conversation window of the merged group provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and the conversation window may also display the messages of the group 1 and the messages of the group 2 in different regions, so as to facilitate the user to distinguish the messages.

2) Regular users of group 1

And after receiving the message of the group 2 pushed by the server, the regular user of the group 1 receives the message, and the message in the group 2 is accessed and shared to the message list of the regular user of the group 1.

For the regular user of the group 1, if the regular user is a member user shared by the group 1 and the group 2, and the session windows of the group 1 and the group 2 are opened at the same time, the session window of the instant messaging client of the regular user merges the session windows of the group 1 and the group 2 into 1 session window in the same processing mode as the management user side, the session window is identified as the names of the group 1 and the group 2, and the messages of the group 1 and the group 2 are displayed in the merged session window.

If the regular user of group 1 is not a common member user of group 1 and group 2, messages posted by other member users of group 1 in the group 1 session are displayed in the session window of group 1, and messages within group 2 are displayed in the session window of group 1.

Third, exit the group sharing mode

The server supports the member users of the group to exit the group sharing mode, when the conventional users request to exit the group sharing mode, the server does not push the group 2 message to the member users any more, and other member users of the group 1 still receive the group 2 message; when the administrative user of the group 1 requests to exit the group sharing mode, the group sharing mode is terminated, the group sharing copy is cancelled, and all member users of the group 1 can not receive the message in the group 2 session.

Fourth, message record management

After the group sharing mode is terminated, the message of the group 1 and the group 2 reserves the attributes (such as the name of the group and the message privacy level) of the corresponding group members, and the server stores the message record of the corresponding group in the background after processing.

In summary, the embodiments of the present invention have the following beneficial effects:

1) the group sharing mode can realize the effect of sharing the message flow issued in the source group session in the target group only by adding additional processing logic on the message flow level, can easily realize the coupling and decoupling with the conventional service processing logic of instant messaging (service logic of non-group sharing mode) on the network side, and simplifies the service structure of instant messaging.

2) Through coupling, processing logics of a source group session and a target group session in a non-group sharing mode do not need to be changed, and message sharing is not needed to be realized through a merging group, so that the effect of efficiently sharing messages among groups is realized; on the other hand, the group sharing mode can be conveniently quitted through decoupling, the problem of interference caused by continuous sharing of messages among groups is avoided, and the communication efficiency is improved;

3) and controlling the privacy level of the message according to the message attribute of the message in the source group session, thereby effectively protecting the message security.

4) And determining whether to respond the group sharing request for pertinence according to the authority of the member users of the source group or the target group submitting the sharing request, and ensuring the safety of message sharing.

5) The target group and the source group are determined according to a plurality of preset conditions, and the influence on the message sharing effect caused by the difference between the groups is avoided.
