For the convenience of those skilled in the art to understand the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application, a technical environment for implementing the technical solutions is described below.

A common position sharing method in the related art provides a communication mode of simplex talkback for a user in a position sharing interface. However, the communication efficiency of the simplex talkback is low, and therefore there is a need for a location sharing method capable of improving the communication efficiency in the related art.

Based on the actual technical requirements similar to those described above, the location sharing method provided by the present application can improve the communication efficiency by using a technical means.

The following describes a location sharing method provided in various embodiments of the present application in detail through an exemplary application scenario.

As shown in fig. 1, in an application scenario of the embodiment of the present application, instant messaging software is run in a terminal 11A used by a user a, a terminal 11B used by a user B, and a terminal 11C used by a user C, the terminal 11A, the terminal 11B, and the terminal 11C, and the user a, the user B, and the user C are users in a certain instant messaging session (hereinafter, referred to as an IM session x). The

terminals

11A, 11B, and 11C are, for example, mobile phones, tablet computers, desktop computers, notebook computers, and the like. It should be noted that, in fig. 1, the number of users in the same instant messaging session is three, and in other embodiments, the number of users in the same instant messaging session may also be two or more than three.

Referring to fig. 1, an instant messaging server 12 may be further included in the application scenario, and the terminal 11A, the terminal 11B, and the terminal 11C may be in communication connection with the instant messaging server 12. The instant messaging server 12 may comprise any form of data processing server, such as a cloud server, a distributed server, or the like. The instant messaging server 12 is used to provide instant messaging services for the interaction between user a, user b and user c. It should be noted that, the present application is not limited to a specific manner in which the instant messaging server provides the terminal with the real-time location sharing function.

For example, the instant messaging server may send location information (that is, location information of the user) of the terminal 11A, the terminal 11B, and the terminal 11C to the terminal 11A, the terminal 11B, and the terminal 11C, respectively, and the

terminals

11A, 11B, and 11C mark the locations of the terminal 11A, the terminal 11B, and the terminal 11C respectively in a map manner according to the location information, so that the user a, the user B, and the user C can learn the location conditions of the user and other users in the instant messaging session, respectively.

With continued reference to fig. 1, a conference server 13 may also be included in the application scenario, and the terminal 11A, the terminal 11B, and the terminal 11C may also be in communication connection with the conference server 13. The conference server 13 may include any form of data processing server such as a cloud server, a distributed server, and the like. The conference server 13 is used to provide a conference service for the interaction between the user a, the user b and the user c. It should be noted that, as to the specific manner in which the conference server provides the conference function for the terminal, this application is not limited thereto.

For example, the terminal 11A may send the collected voice data of the user a to the conference server 13, and the conference server 13 may forward the voice data of the user a to the terminals 11B and 11C, so that the voice data of the user a is played by the terminals 11B and 11C, so that the user B and the user C can hear the sound of the user a. Similarly, the terminal 11B may send the collected voice data of the user B to the conference server 13, and the conference server 13 may forward the voice data of the user B to the terminals 11A and 11C, so that the voice data of the user B is played by the terminals 11A and 11C, so that the users a and C can hear the sound of the user B. The terminal 11C may send the collected voice data of the user C to the conference server 13, and the conference server 13 may forward the voice data of the user C to the terminal 11A and the terminal 11B, so that the terminal 11A and the terminal 11B play the voice data of the user C, so that the user a and the user B may hear the sound of the user C.

It should be noted that, in fig. 1, the servers for providing the instant messaging service and the conference service are taken as different servers, and in other embodiments, the servers for providing the instant messaging service and the conference service may be the same server, that is, both the instant messaging service and the conference service are provided by the same server.

The terminal 11A, the terminal 11B, and the terminal 11C may provide a function of sharing a location in real time to a user by using the location sharing method provided in the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the terminal 11A may obtain a location sharing operation for the IM session x input by the user a, jump from the session interface displaying the IM session x to the displayed location sharing interface in response to the location sharing operation, and send a conference request associated with a target conference to the conference server 13, where the target conference is created corresponding to the location sharing of the IM session x, and establish a conference connection for the target conference with the conference server 13, so that the user a can communicate with at least one other user using the target conference in the location sharing process.

Similarly, the terminal 11B may obtain a location sharing operation for the IM session x by the user B, and in response to the location sharing operation, jump from the session interface displaying the IM session x to the displayed location sharing interface and send a conference request associated with the target conference to the conference server 13, and also establish a conference connection for the target conference with the conference server 13; the terminal 11C may obtain a location sharing operation of the user C for the IM session x, jump from the session interface displaying the IM session x to the displayed location sharing interface and send a conference request associated with the target conference to the conference server 13 in response to the location sharing operation, and establish a conference connection with the conference server 13 for the target conference. Therefore, the user a, the user b and the user c in the IM conversation x can use the correspondingly established target conference to communicate in the position sharing process, and the communication time of the user can be unlimited when the conference mode is adopted to communicate, so that the communication efficiency of a simplex talkback mode that only one user is used as a speaker at the same time is higher, and the communication efficiency in the position sharing process can be improved.

Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below and the features of the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a location sharing method according to an embodiment of the present application, where an execution subject of the embodiment may be the terminal in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 2, the method of this embodiment may include:

step 21, obtaining the position sharing operation aiming at the instant communication session input by the current user;

step 22, in response to the location sharing operation, jumping from a session interface displaying the instant messaging session to a displayed location sharing interface and sending a conference request associated with a target conference to a conference server, where the target conference is correspondingly created for location sharing of the instant messaging session;

and step 23, establishing a conference connection for the target conference with the conference server, so that the current user can communicate with at least one other user by using the target conference in a position sharing process.

In the embodiment of the present application, the current user may serve as an initiator of location sharing of an instant messaging session, or the current user may serve as an invitee of location sharing of the instant messaging session. The location sharing operation may specifically be an originating location sharing operation when the current user is an originator of the location sharing, and the location sharing operation may specifically be an entering location sharing operation when the current user is an invitee of the location sharing.

For example, when the instant messaging software is opened by the current user, the terminal may display an interface as shown in fig. 3A, which may include a session list of instant messaging sessions, which may include an instant messaging session identified as "user 1" with user 1, an instant messaging session identified as "user 2" with user 2, an instant messaging session identified as "chat group 1" with multiple users, an instant messaging session identified as "chat group 2" with multiple users, and so on. In fig. 3A, the asterisk "under the identification of the instant communication session (e.g.," user 1 ") may represent, for example, the chat content of the last chat in the instant communication session. In fig. 3A, the asterisk identifying the right side of the instant messaging session may, for example, indicate the chat time of the last chat in the instant messaging session.

Then, if the current user selects "chat group 1" in the session list shown in fig. 3A, the terminal may display a session interface as shown in fig. 3B. It should be noted that fig. 3B illustrates that the chat group 1 includes three users, which are user a, user B, and user c, and user a is the current user. The asterisks in fig. 3B may indicate the chat content of the corresponding user. The microphone icon in fig. 3B can provide a chat mode of voice chat, the input box on the right side of the microphone icon can provide a chat mode of text chat, the smiley face icon on the right side of the input box can provide a chat mode of emoticon chat, and the plus sign icon on the right side of the smiley face icon can provide more chat functions.

After that, if a click operation of the current user on the plus sign icon in fig. 3B is obtained, the terminal may display a function selection window as shown in fig. 3C, where entries of multiple chat functions such as album, shooting, video call, and location may be included in the function selection window. If the click operation of the current user for "cancel" in the function selection window shown in fig. 3C is acquired, the function selection window may be canceled from being displayed.

Further, if a click operation of the current user on the position icon in the function selection window shown in fig. 3C is acquired, the terminal may display a function confirmation window as shown in fig. 3D. If the click operation of the current user for "cancel" in the function confirmation window shown in fig. 3D is acquired, the function confirmation window may be canceled from being displayed. If the click operation of the current user to the "real-time sharing position" in the function confirmation window shown in fig. 3D is obtained, it may indicate that the originating position sharing operation of the current user to the IM session of the chat group 1 is obtained.

For example, as shown in fig. 3E, assume that user a in chat group 1 initiates a real-time sharing location, and the current user is user c in chat group 1. Then, as shown in fig. 3E, the terminal may display a prompt message of the user a initiating the real-time sharing location in the session interface of the chat group 1, and the terminal may also display a prompt message of the user a initiating the real-time sharing location in a floating window manner on top of the session interface of the chat group 1.

Further, if the click operation of the current user to "initiate the real-time sharing location" in fig. 3E is obtained, the terminal may display a prompt window as shown in fig. 3F, where the prompt window includes prompt information "join location sharing, and others in the chat can also see your location to determine joining? ". If the click operation of the current user for "cancel" in the function selection window shown in fig. 3E is further acquired, the prompt window may be canceled from being displayed. If the click operation of the current user for "join" in the function selection window shown in fig. 3E is obtained, it may mean that the join position sharing operation of the current user for the IM session denoted as chat group 1 is obtained.

It should be noted that the interfaces shown in fig. 3A to 3F are merely examples.

In the embodiment of the application, after the position sharing operation for the instant messaging session input by the current user is acquired, in response to the position sharing operation, on one hand, a session interface displaying the instant messaging session can jump to a position sharing display, and on the other hand, a conference request associated with a target conference can be sent to a conference server. Wherein the target conference is correspondingly created for location sharing of the instant messaging session;

when the location sharing operation is an initiate location sharing operation, the conference request may specifically be a conference creation request, that is, the conference server may create a target conference under the trigger of the conference creation request. When the location sharing operation is a join location sharing operation, the conference request may specifically be a conference join request, that is, the conference server may join the current user in the target conference under the trigger of the conference join request. It should be noted that, for specific implementation of creating a target conference and joining the target conference, reference may be made to related descriptions in related technologies, and details are not described herein again.

The map can be displayed in the position sharing interface, and position marking can be carried out in the map according to the position information of the user carrying out position sharing. For example, as shown in fig. 3G, the location sharing interface shown in fig. 3G may display the respective locations of user a, user b, and user c in chat group 1. It should be noted that the interface shown in fig. 3G is merely an example.

In one embodiment, the conference function provided by the target conference to the current user may be fixedly turned on. For example, the target conference is fixed to the current user with a microphone function (i.e., a "talk" function), a speaker function (i.e., a "listen" function), and a camera function (i.e., a "look" function). Based on the method, the uplink voice channel, the downlink voice channel and the video channel of the conference connection of the target conference can be fixedly opened. Under the condition that the camera function provided by the target conference for the current user is fixedly started, the target conference can also fixedly use a front camera or a rear camera.

In a case where the microphone function, the speaker function, and the camera function provided by the terminal to the current user are fixedly turned on, and the front camera is fixedly used, assuming that the location sharing interface of the terminal is as shown in fig. 3G, the terminal may perform the following processes:

1) and sending the voice data of the user a acquired by the microphone to a conference server through an uplink voice channel connected with the conference, sending the video data of the user a acquired by the front camera to the conference server through a video channel connected with the conference, and forwarding the voice data and the video data to the user b and the user c in the chat group 1 by the conference server so that the user b and the user c can hear the voice of the user a and see the image of the user a.

2) The method comprises the steps of receiving voice data of a user b and a user c in a chat group 1 forwarded by a conference server through a downlink voice channel connected with the conference, receiving video data of the user b and the user c forwarded by the conference server through a video channel connected with the conference, playing the voice data through a loudspeaker, and playing the video data through a video playing window, so that a user a can hear the voice of the user b and the user c, and see the images of the user b and the user c.

In another embodiment, the switch of the conference function provided by the target conference to the current user may be controlled by the current user. Based on this, the method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include: and displaying the position sharing interface and simultaneously displaying the operation entrance of the target conference so that the current user can correspondingly control the target conference. By displaying the position sharing interface and the operation entrance of the conference, the user can control the conference while checking the position sharing interface, the user operation can be facilitated, and the use experience can be improved.

Wherein, the operation entry can be realized according to the demand is nimble. Illustratively, the operational access includes one or more of: the first operation inlet is used for providing a function of switching on and off a microphone, the second operation inlet is used for providing a function of switching on and off a loudspeaker, the third operation inlet is used for providing a function of switching on and off a camera, or the fourth operation inlet is used for providing a function of switching between a front camera and a rear camera.

On the basis of fig. 3G, a display manner for simultaneously displaying the position sharing interface and the operation entry may be as shown in fig. 3H, for example. In fig. 3H, the microphone icon may serve as an operation inlet (i.e., a first operation inlet) for switching the microphone function, and the user may switch the microphone function by clicking the microphone icon, for example. The speaker icon may serve as an operation entry (i.e., a second operation entry) for switching the speaker function, and the user may switch the speaker function by clicking the speaker icon, for example. The camera icon may serve as an operation entry (i.e., a third operation entry) for switching the camera function, and the user may switch the camera function by clicking the camera icon, for example. The switching icon may be an operation entry (i.e., a fourth operation entry) of the front-rear camera switching function, and the user may switch the front-rear camera by clicking the switching icon, for example. In fig. 3H, the microphone function and the camera function are in the off state, and the speaker function is in the on state, for example. It should be noted that the interface shown in fig. 3H is merely an example.

In a case where the operation portal includes the first operation portal, displaying the operation portal of the target conference may further include: and responding to the trigger operation of the current user for the first operation entrance, and sending a corresponding first indication to the conference server, so that the conference server opens or closes an uplink voice channel of the current user in the conference connection according to the first indication.

For example, if a click operation of the user a on the microphone icon in fig. 3H is acquired, the terminal may be triggered to send a first instruction for instructing to open the uplink voice channel to the conference server, and the conference server may open the uplink voice channel of the user a in the conference connection according to the first instruction. Optionally, in order to facilitate the user to know the change of the switch state of the microphone function, when the uplink voice channel is triggered to be opened, the terminal may pop up a prompt message "microphone is turned on" as shown in fig. 3I. Then, if the click operation of the user a on the microphone icon is obtained again, the terminal may be triggered to send a first instruction for instructing to close the uplink voice channel to the conference server, and the conference server may close the uplink voice channel of the user a in the conference connection according to the first instruction. The click operation on the microphone icon may be understood as a trigger operation on the first operation entry, and certainly, in other embodiments, the trigger operation on the first operation entry may also be other operations, which is not limited in this application. It should be noted that the interface shown in fig. 3I is only an example.

Correspondingly, under the condition that the uplink voice channel of the current user in the conference connection is in the open state, the method provided by the embodiment of the application may further include: and sending the collected voice data of the current user to a conference server through an uplink voice channel, so that the conference server forwards the voice data to other users opening a downlink voice channel of the target conference in the communication session. Therefore, other users who open the downlink voice channel of the target conference in the instant messaging session can hear the sound of the current user.

In a case where the operation portal includes the second operation portal, displaying the operation portal of the target conference may further include: and responding to the trigger operation of the current user for the second operation entrance, and sending a corresponding second instruction to the conference server, so that the conference server opens or closes a downlink voice channel of the current user in the conference connection according to the second instruction.

For example, if a click operation of the user a on the speaker icon in fig. 3H is acquired, the terminal may be triggered to send a second instruction for instructing to close the downstream voice channel to the conference server, and the conference server may close the downstream voice channel of the user a in the conference connection according to the second instruction. And then, if the click operation of the user a on the loudspeaker icon is obtained again, the terminal may be triggered to send a second instruction for instructing to open the downlink voice channel to the conference server, and the conference server may open the downlink voice channel of the user a in the conference connection according to the second instruction. The click operation on the speaker icon may be understood as a trigger operation on the second operation entry, and certainly, in other embodiments, the trigger operation on the second operation entry may also be other operations, which is not limited in this application.

Correspondingly, under the condition that the downlink voice channel of the current user in the conference connection is in the open state, the method provided by the embodiment of the application may further include: and receiving voice data of other users who open an uplink voice channel of the target conference in the instant messaging session forwarded by the conference server through the downlink voice channel, and playing the voice data through a loudspeaker. Therefore, the current user can hear the sound of other users who open the uplink voice channel of the target conference in the instant communication session.

In a case where the operation portal includes the third operation portal, displaying the operation portal of the target conference may further include: and responding to the trigger operation of the current user for the third operation entrance, and sending a corresponding third instruction to the conference server, so that the conference server opens or closes the video channel of the current user in the conference connection according to the third instruction.

For example, if a click operation of the user a on the camera icon in fig. 3I is acquired, the terminal may be triggered to send a third instruction for instructing to open a video channel to the conference server, and the conference server may open the video channel of the user a in the conference connection according to the third instruction. Optionally, in order to facilitate the user to know the change of the functional switch state of the camera, when the video channel is triggered to be opened, the terminal may pop up a prompt message "the camera is turned on" as shown in fig. 3J. And then, if the click operation of the user a on the camera icon is obtained again, the terminal may be triggered to send a third instruction for instructing to close the video channel to the conference server, and the conference server may close the video channel of the user a in the conference connection according to the third instruction. The click operation on the camera icon may be understood as a trigger operation on the third operation entry, and certainly, in other embodiments, the trigger operation on the third operation entry may also be other operations, which is not limited in this application.

Correspondingly, under the condition that the video channel of the current user in the conference connection is in the open state, the method provided by the embodiment of the application may further include: sending the collected video data of the current user to a conference server through a video channel, and forwarding the video data to other users who open the video channel of the target conference in the instant messaging session by the conference server; and receiving video data of other users who open the uplink voice channel of the target conference in the instant messaging session forwarded by the conference server through the video channel, and playing the video data through the video playing window. Therefore, other users who open the video channel of the target conference in the instant messaging session can see the image of the current user, and the current user can also see the sound of other users who open the video channel of the target conference in the instant messaging session. In addition, a plurality of users can mutually see the images in the process of sharing the position in real time, so that the current user can view the surrounding environment of other users, and the current user can more easily know the accurate positions of other users.

In a case where the operation portal includes the fourth operation portal, displaying the operation portal of the target conference may further include: and responding to the triggering operation of the current user for the fourth operation inlet, and controlling the corresponding front camera or rear camera to acquire the video data.

In this embodiment of the present application, in a case that a video channel of a current user in a conference connection is in an open state, the method provided in this embodiment of the present application may further include: displaying at least one video playing window while displaying the position sharing interface; at least one video playing window can be in one-to-one correspondence with at least one user, the at least one user is a user who opens a video channel of a target conference in an instant messaging session, and the video playing window is used for playing video data of the corresponding user.

Optionally, the video playing windows may be displayed on the position sharing interface in an overlapping manner, and the default size of a single video playing window is smaller than the size of the position sharing interface. Assuming that the video channels of the user a, the user b, and the user c in the chat group 1 are all in an open state in the conference, the terminal may play the video data in a manner as shown in fig. 3J, for example. In fig. 3J, the first video playing window from left to right above the interface may be used to play the video image of user a, the second video playing window may be used to play the video image of user b, and the third video playing window may be used to play the video image of user c. It should be noted that the interface shown in fig. 3J is merely an example.
