BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

With the development of computer communication technologies, instant messaging becomes more and more approved by people as an extremely practical function of a user terminal, and a group chat platform built by people via instant messaging software may realize instant messaging in a multimedia approach such as text, voice, video, etc. among multiple users. However, due to such a factor as lowering of the threshold of the internet, difficulties in identifying the identification of a user, etc., the group chat platform also becomes a hardest-hit area flooded with various malicious information such as fraud, harassment, pornography, advertisement, etc.

In prior art information management technologies, if a user wants to manage chat information in a group and reports a user account publishing malicious chat messages in the group, it is generally necessary for the user to first view the user account of the malicious publisher in the group chat record, and then perform operations of search and selection for the user account in the group member list, thereafter, the user terminal extracts the malicious chat messages published by the user account selected by the user according to the operations of search and selection and sends them to a background server for processing. However, the above information management method can only manage malicious chat messages published by one user account at a time, and when chat messages in the group continuously dynamically increase, it is difficult for the user to find the malicious message. Furthermore, if a publisher of malicious chat messages exits the group rapidly after publishing a multitude of malicious messages, when the user finds and wants to manage the malicious chat messages published by the malicious publisher and report the malicious publisher, he cannot already find the user account of the malicious publisher in the group member list and hence cannot manage the malicious chat messages published by the publisher. Therefore, the efficiency of management of group messages in instant messaging by the prior art information management technologies is low, and it cannot realize an efficient management of user accounts within a group and the group.

First Embodiment

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for information management in a user terminal provided by a first embodiment of the invention. The information management method in this embodiment is used for managing group messages in instant messaging. As shown in Fig. 2, the information management method in this embodiment comprises the following steps.

In step S1 1 , in response to a processing instruction of a user, the user terminal obtains a preset number of message records to be processed in a group as indicated by the processing instruction.

In particular, the user terminal receives the processing instruction of the user via an instant messaging software client running in the user terminal. In the processing instruction is comprised a number of the group to be processed. The user terminal obtains message records to be processed in the group according to the number of the group to be processed in the processing instruction, and preferably, obtains a preset number of message records to be processed closest to the current system time. Therein, the message records to be processed in the group are records of chat messages published within the group by all the members of the group, and in particular may comprise: user accounts, nicknames, publishing time of publishers of the chat messages, and text information, pictures, network links to voice, video, etc. contained in the chat messages published by the publishers.

In step S12, the obtained message records to be processed are displayed to the user.

In step S13, in response to an operation of selection by the user of the message records to be processed, the user selected message records are sent to a server for being processed by the server according to a preset processing rule.

In particular, the user terminal monitors the operation behavior of the user, and when monitoring the operation of selection by the user of the displayed message records to be processed, in responses to the operation of selection, sends the selected messages to be processed as indicated by the operation of selection to the server, such that the server processes the message records to be processed according to the preset processing rule, for example, examines and filters information contained in the message records to be processed according to the preset processing rule, judges the property of a user according to the examined result, and exerts a corresponding penalty to a malicious user or group (for example, limits the operation privileges such as login, talk, etc. of a user account, bans a malicious group, and the like).

By obtaining a preset number of message records to be processed in a group and displaying them to a user, and then in response to the operation of selection by the user of the message records to be processed, sending the user selected message records to be processed to a server for processing, the information management method provided by the embodiment of the invention enables the user to directly accomplish management of information of the message records to be processed in the group by a simple operation of selection on the displayed message records to be processed, and thereby simplifies the operation of managing the information of the message records to be processed in the group by the user, so the efficiency of information management may be increased, and an efficient management of user accounts within a group and the group may be realized.

Second Embodiment

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a method for information management in a user terminal provided by a second embodiment of the invention. The information management method in this embodiment is used for managing group messages in instant messaging. As shown in Fig. 3, the information management method in this embodiment comprises the following steps.

In step S21 , in response to a processing instruction of a user, the user terminal generates a processing interaction window.

In particular, the user terminal receives the processing instruction (e.g., a report instruction) input by the user based on an instant messaging software client running in the user terminal, and in response to the processing instruction, generates the processing interaction window (e.g., a report interaction window), which processing interaction window is used for displaying message records to be processed in a group processed by the processing instruction, such that the user selects from the message records to be processed, and accomplishes submission of a processing request for the selected message records to be processed via the processing interaction window.

In step S22, a preset number of message records to be processed in the group as indicated by the processing instruction are obtained.

In particular, the method for obtaining the preset number of message records to be processed in the group as indicated by the processing instruction may be as shown in Fig. 4, and comprise the following steps.

In step S221 , a file of the message records to be processed is read from a local memory of the user terminal.

In the file of the message records to be processed, records of all the chat messages received and sent when a user conducted an instant messaging activity with other users through a user account based on an instant messaging software client are stored, for examples: records of chat messages sent to other user and received from and sent by other user when the user conducts one-to-one chat with the other user; records of chat messages published within the group and published by all the group members in the group when the user conducts a multiplayer instant messaging activity in a chat group or a discussion group with other users; and so on. Therein, the record content of the chat messages may particularly comprise: user accounts, nicknames, publishing time of publishers of the chat messages, and text information, pictures, network links to voice, video, etc. contained in the published chat messages.

In particular, according to a user account of the sender user of the processing instruction, the user terminal searches a file of message records to be processed corresponding to the user account stored in the local memory, and reads records of all the chat messages stored in the file of message records to be processed.

It may be appreciated that the file of message records to be processed may also be stored in a cloud server, and the user terminal may, according to a user account of the user, obtain a file of message records to be processed corresponding to the user account from the cloud server.

In step S222, information records of all the messages to be processed in the group as indicated by the processing instruction are extracted from the file of the message records to be processed. In particular, according to a number of the group to be processed contained in the received processing instruction, the user terminal extracts, from the read file of message records to be processed, information records of all the messages to be processed in the group processed by the processing instruction, namely, records of chat messages published by all the members in the group, which may particularly comprise: user accounts, nicknames, publishing time of publishers of the chat messages, and text information, pictures, network links to voice, video, etc. contained in the published chat messages.

In step S223, the records of the messages to be processed are parsed to obtain the preset number of message records to be processed.

In a particular implementation of the embodiment, the preset number may be 100. The user terminal parses information records of all the messages to be processed in the group processed by the processing instruction extracted in step S222, and obtains information of 100 messages to be processed closest to the current system time. Therein, information of a message to be processed may particularly comprise: the content of the message to be processed (particular text information, a network link to voice and video, etc.), a user account, nickname, publishing time of the publisher of the message to be processed, etc.

In step S23, the obtained message records to be processed are displayed to the user via the processing interaction window.

In particular, the user terminal displays the obtained message records to be processed to the user by initializing the processing interaction window and drawing the particular information contained in the obtained preset number of message records to be processed in the processing interaction window.

In step S24, in response to an operation of selection by the user of the message records to be processed, the message records to be processed selected by the operation of selection are classified and aggregated according to user accounts and corresponding data packets are generated.

In particular, in response to an operation of selection by the user in the processing interaction window, the user terminal obtains multiple message records to be processed selected by the operation of selection, and then classifies and aggregates the obtained message records to be processed according to user accounts of publishers, in which multiple corresponding data packets are generated for the message records to be processed by aggregating and packing message records to be processed of the same user account into a data packet. For example, assuming that 20 message records to be processed are selected according to the operation of selection by the user and the 20 message records to be processed are published by 5 different user accounts, respectively, then the 20 message records to be processed are classified and aggregated according to the user accounts to generate 5 data packets in one-to-one correspondence with the 5 user accounts, respectively, and in each data packet are contained all the message records to be processed published by a user account corresponding to the data packet, respectively.

In step S25, a corresponding processing identification is generated for each generated data packet.

In particular, the user terminal generates a corresponding processing identification (ID) for each data packet generated in step S24 according to the current system time, date and a requested service attribute, which processing ID is used for causing a server to identify a data packet corresponding to a requested service attribute and process information of the message records to be processed contained in the data packet according to a preset processing rule.

In step S26, all the data packets and the corresponding processing identifications are sent to a server.

In particular, the user terminal sends all the generated data packets and the corresponding processing IDs to a background access server, and the background access server reorganizes the received data packets and the corresponding processing IDs according to the preset processing rule and sends them to a background processing server after repacking them according to a preset format. The background processing server extracts and examines and filters information of the message records to be processed contained in the received repacked data packets such as the content of the messages to be processed, user accounts of publishers of the content of the messages to be processed, and publishing time, etc. according to the preset processing rule, and processes the user accounts of the publishers of the content of the messages to be processed according to the examined and filtered result, for example, sends warning information to a publisher of the content of the message to be processed via a cell phone number, a mail address pre-retained by the publisher, or limits the user's login and talk using the user account; for a serious case, it is also possible to ban the user account; and the like.

In the following, the information management method in an embodiment of the invention will be described in a particular application scenario. For example, the user terminal first receives a report instruction sent by a user via an instant messaging software client, generates a report interaction window according to the report instruction, obtains a preset number (e.g., 100) of chat message records in a group reported by the report instruction, and draws information such as the content of chat information, user accounts and nicknames of publishers, publishing time, etc. contained in the obtained chat message records in a report evidence displaying and selecting area in the report interaction window as shown in Fig. 5 according to a preset format so as to be displayed to the user; thereafter, when monitoring an operation of selection by the user in the report interaction window, the user terminal obtains one or more chat message records selected by the operation of selection, and according to an operation of selection by click by the user via a submission button as shown in Fig. 5, encapsulates the obtained one or more chat message records into multiple data packets after classifying and aggregating them according to user accounts of publishers, then generates a corresponding report ID for each data packet, sends the report ID along with the corresponding data packet to a server in order for the server to process, and at the same time generates report information, and displays the report information to the user in order to inform the user of subsequent processing. As described above, the user terminal generates a report interaction window in response to a report instruction of a user, obtains a preset number of message records to be processed in a group as indicated by the report instruction, and displays the obtained message records to be processed to the user via the report interaction window, namely, solidifies the message records to be processed in the report interaction window, and the user terminal may accomplish a report of multiple user accounts by way of an operation of selection by the user in the report interaction window, which avoids that a malicious member of a group cannot be reported due to the member's exiting the group in the prior art, and thereby may realize an efficient management of user accounts and the group.

By obtaining a preset number of message records to be processed in a group and displaying them to a user, and then in response to the operation of selection by the user of the message records to be processed, sending the user selected message records to be processed to a server for processing, the information management method provided by the embodiment of the invention enables the user to directly accomplish management of information of the message records to be processed in the group by a simple operation of selection on the displayed message records to be processed, and thereby simplifies the operation of managing the information of the message records to be processed in the group by the user, so the efficiency of information management may be increased, and an efficient management of user accounts within a group and the group may be realized. Third Embodiment

Fig. 6 is a flowchart of a method for information management in a user terminal provided by a third embodiment of the invention. The information management method in this embodiment is used for managing group messages in instant messaging. As shown in Fig. 6, the information management method in this embodiment comprises the following steps.

In step S31 , in response to a processing instruction of a user, the user terminal generates a processing interaction window.

In step S32, a preset number of message records to be processed in a group as indicated by the processing instruction are obtained.

In step S33, the obtained message records to be processed are displayed to the user via the processing interaction window.

The specifics of step S31 and step S33 are referred to the corresponding content of the second embodiment, and a description thereof will not be repeated here.

In step S34, the user terminal receives a first selection instruction input in the processing interaction window by the user, and obtains a preset number of message records to be processed published by the user account to be processed according to account information of a user account to be processed contained in the first selection instruction.

In particular, in a particular implementation of the embodiment, the user terminal receives a first selection instruction comprising account information of a user account to be processed input by the user through an operation of selection in a selection area for user accounts to be processed in the processing interaction window as shown in Fig. 7. According to the account information, the user terminal extracts and parses, from the file of message records to be processed, a preset number (e.g., 100) of message records to be processed closest to the current system time published by the user account to be processed selected by the first selection instruction.

In step S35, the obtained preset number of message records to be processed published by the user account to be processed are displayed to the user via the processing interaction window.

In particular, the user terminal displays the obtained preset number of message records to be processed published by the user account selected by the first selection instruction to the user by drawing the extracted preset number of message records to be processed published by the user account selected by the first selection instruction to the user in the processing interaction window according to a preset format.

It needs to be noted that in this embodiment step S33 is optional, namely, the processing interaction window may directly display the preset number of message records to be processed published by the user account.

In step S36, in response to an operation of selection by the user of the message records to be processed, the user selected message records to be processed are sent to a server for being processed by the server according to a preset processing rule.

In particular, in a particular implementation of this embodiment, in response to an operation of selection by the user in a processing interaction window as shown in Fig. 8, the user terminal obtains message records to be processed (for example, message records to be processed marked a checkmark in Fig. 8) selected by the operation of selection, generates data packets for the obtained message records to be processed, generates corresponding processing identifications (IDs) for the data packets according to the current system time, date and a requested service attribute, and then sends the generated data packets and the corresponding processing IDs to a background access server. The background access server reorganizes the received data packets and the corresponding processing IDs according to a preset processing rule and sends them to a background processing server after repacking them according to a preset format, such that the background processing server extracts and examines and filters information of the message records to be processed contained in the received repacked data packets such as the content of the messages to be processed, user accounts of publishers of the content of the messages to be processed, and publishing time, etc. according to the preset processing rule, and processes the user accounts of the publishers of the content of the messages to be processed according to the examined and filtered result.

Fourth Embodiment

Fig. 9 is a flowchart of a method for information management in a user terminal provided by a fourth embodiment of the invention. The information management method in this embodiment is used for managing group messages in instant messaging. As shown in Fig. 9, the information management method in this embodiment comprises the following steps.

In step S41 , in response to a processing instruction of a user, the user terminal generates a processing interaction window.

In step S42, a preset number of message records to be processed in a group as indicated by the processing instruction are obtained.

In step S43, the obtained message records to be processed are displayed to the user via the processing interaction window.

The specifics of step S41 to step S43 are referred to the corresponding content of the second embodiment, and a description thereof will not be repeated here. In step S44, the user terminal receives a second selection instruction comprising group information processing instruction codes input in the processing interaction window by the user.

In particular, in a particular implementation of this embodiment, the user terminal receives a second selection instruction sent by the user via an operation of selection in a group message record processing and selecting area in the processing interaction window as shown in Fig. 5. In the second selection instruction is contained a group information processing instruction code. The group information processing instruction code may enable the user terminal to encapsulate one or more message records to be processed in a group selected by the user as a whole.

In step S45, in response to the operation of selection by the user, the user selected message records to be processed in the group are obtained.

In particular, in response to an operation of selection by the user of the preset number of message records to be processed in the group displayed in step S43 in the report evidence displaying and selecting area as shown in Fig. 5, one or more message records to be processed selected by the user are obtained. In a particular implementation of this embodiment, if the user does not perform an operation of selection, then it is by default that the user performs such an operation of selection in which all of the preset number of message records to be processed in the group are selected to be processed.

In step S46, according to the group information processing instruction code, the obtained message records to be processed as a whole are sent to the server for being processed by the server according to a preset processing rule.

In particular, according to the group information processing instruction code contained in the received second selection instruction, the user terminal encapsulates one or more message records to be processed in the group selected by the user obtained in step S45 as a whole into a data packet. Then, the user terminal generates a corresponding processing identification (ID) for the data packet according to the current system time, date and a requested service attribute, and sends the generated data packet and the corresponding processing ID along with the number information of the group to a background access server. The background access server reorganizes the received data packet and the corresponding processing ID according to a preset processing rule and sends them to a background processing server after repacking them according to a preset format.
