Description

Method for providing third party service and corresponding system

This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 200610136012.2, entitled "A method for providing third-party services and corresponding systems," filed on October 16, 2006, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference. Combined in this application.

Technical field

The present invention relates to a method of providing a service, and more particularly to a method of providing a third party service and a corresponding system.

Background technique

At present, the Internet has become popular all over the world and has been completely commercialized and diversified. It is not only for scientific research services, but is gradually entering various fields of daily life. People are increasingly using the Internet in their work, study and life, and they have evolved from a single industry Internet to an Internet that penetrates the public in all walks of life. A variety of services are available through the Internet, such as email, search engines, online banking, online trading, online advertising, e-books, e-magazines, online news, online games and more.

Before the birth of the Internet, every computer was isolated, and everyone realized that these isolated computers were an "island," meaning little, so many isolated computers formed a network; but with the development of these networks, A single network again forms a similar "island," and it still has little meaning in sharing information with each other or providing services to each other, so these networks are connected again to form a network of networks, also known as the Internet. (internet). With the development of the Internet, various service providers have begun to be derived, which specialize in providing various services. At a certain level, the main mode of the Internet today is that several servers provide various services (the programs on these servers are developed to enable the server to provide specific services to users, such as providing services through hypertext), such as those listed above. Various services, the user makes a request to these servers, the server processes the requests, and returns a response to the user who made the request, so that the user can use the services provided by these servers, as shown in Figure 1. mode. Of course, these servers can be dedicated servers, such as servers provided by specific content providers (for example, logging into htt:p://www.bbc.co.uk to visit the BBC News Channel website in the United States when a user clicks on a news link) Actually, the BBC server sends a response according to the user's request to display the news on the user's browser. It can also be a non-dedicated server, for example, a user will use it himself. The content in the personal computer is shared with other users. At this time, the role of the user who provides the content is used as the service provider in the "service".

With the development of technology, more and more advanced technologies are applied to the Internet, for example, to provide users with more bandwidth, even wireless networks, so that today's users can access the Internet and send responses even in Starbucks cafes. .

But at the root, the above model is still a request → answer mode. Despite the growing variety of Internet-based services, third-party third-party search engines that do not provide content services directly, such as Google, allow users to log in to www.google.com to enter keyword information. Google can provide users with an interface to these keyword-related web pages. In this service model, the search engine itself does not provide content services, but it helps users find the content providers they need through a search mechanism, so that users can connect to the content provided by the service provider. But such a mode is still a request → answer mode, that is, the user makes a request to the search engine, and then the search engine provides a reply message. For example, other websites offer similar services, but the form is slightly different. For example, by logging in to www.5566.net, the category lists all the popular URLs. When users click on one of the categories, they can view the listed websites under the category. Name, click on the website name to enter the corresponding web page through the preset hyperlink. However, this mode still falls within the scope of the above request-response mode.

It is not only limited to the Internet, but also to the above request-answer mode service when the user uses a personal computer. For example, when a user uses Office software released by Microsoft Corporation (for example, a Word or Powerpoint application), in fact, it can also be understood as a request by a user to an application such as the office software, such as a request to open a document, and An application such as office software provides a response to the user based on the user's request, such as opening and displaying the document. At some point, users may wish to highlight certain keywords according to their own habits, such as "finance, two words, in order to bring their attention, of course, this highlighted action is best for all documents automatically. Otherwise, it is very cumbersome for the user to perform at least one highlighting operation on each document. For example, when the user uses the company-customized ERP software, it can also be understood as a request-answer mode service, and the user may also There are similar requirements, and it is hoped that a supplier will be highlighted so that it can be monitored.

The above expectations can of course seek to communicate with the developer of the application so that the developer can Develop specific plug-ins or provide specific content to specific users, such as adding the above customization features in the office software, allowing the user to customize certain keywords to highlight. But in fact, on the one hand, it is difficult to require application developers to carry out corresponding development work. On the other hand, according to this line of thinking, it is bound to form different application developers to complete the above work, to some extent This is also unrealistic. For another example, if we want to highlight keywords that are of interest to the user in the webpage, then the content provider is required to highlight the keywords when creating the webpages, but if the keywords are for different users It is different, then it is impossible for content providers to achieve such expectations in the existing request-answer mode.

Therefore, whether the above is an Internet-based service or a non-Internet-based service (for example, the above-described process of using an application), it is possible to consider whether or not the above-mentioned similar service can be provided by the third direction user. Moreover, from an implementation point of view, it is a deficiencies of third parties for different application processes and has practical significance.

detailed description

Referring to FIG. 1, a schematic diagram of providing content services over the Internet in the prior art is described. Among them, N servants 2 access the Internet, and N requesters 1 also access the Internet. Any one or more of the above requesting parties may issue a request to any of the above-mentioned service parties through a browser or other tools (not indicated by an arrow in the figure), and the service party will separately process the requests and provide response messages separately. For example, returning a web page and feeding back the response message to the corresponding requester via the Internet (as indicated by the arrow). Those skilled in the art will appreciate that since the service program of the service provider often uses and styling services, it can process multiple requests simultaneously. It can be understood that the above "N" requesters and "N" servants in the "N" are merely for explaining the principle of the above service mode, and do not mean that the number of requesters and servants must be equal.

The TCP/IP protocol or other protocols can be used in the above process, so that the servant can feed back the response message to the correct requester, and vice versa.

Referring to Figure 2, a depiction of a service provided by a third party in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention is described. Similar to Figure 1, the N requesters still issue a request to the N servants, and the service still returns a corresponding response message based on the requester's corresponding request. However, in contrast to FIG. 1 above, in addition to the basis of the requester 1 and the servant 2, there are a plurality of third parties 3 for providing third party services to form a request different from the traditional request→answer mode. → Answer → Third Party Service Mode. It can be understood that the above-mentioned mode for providing third-party services is not limited to Internet-related services. For example, the above-mentioned process of using an application also applies to the service mode shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 2, there may be a difference in the relationship between the third party 3 and the requester 1 and the servant 2 due to different application purposes and occasions. For example, in one case, there is a connection between the servant 2 and the third party 3, such as some kind of communication; and in another case, there is a direct connection between the requester 1 and the third party 3, such as a request. Party 1 directly accepts the services of the third party 3, and there is no connection between the third party 3 and the service party 2. For another example, the requesting party 1 simultaneously accepts the services of the service party 2 and the third party 3, and the like. According to different situations, people skilled in the art Members can make different changes to the relationship between the three to achieve multiple changes in the provision of third-party services.

Referring to Figure 3, there is depicted a timing diagram of the operation of the first embodiment in accordance with the present invention. First, in step S1, the requesting party 1 issues a request to the servant 2; subsequently, in step S2, the servant 2 transmits the response message to the requesting party 1; subsequently, in step S3, The requesting party 1 sends the response message to the third party 3; then, in step S4, the third party processes the response message to form a new response message; then, in step S5, the A new reply message is returned to the requester 1. At this point a service process is over.

In a variation of the first embodiment, the process may be changed: in step S2, the server 2 may send the response message to the third party 3, and then, in step S3, the The three parties process the response message to form a new response message; then, in step S4, the third party 3 sends the new response message to the requester 1.

Referring to Figure 4, there is depicted a timing diagram of the operation of a second embodiment in accordance with the present invention. Step S1 is the same as step S1 shown in FIG. 3, but from step S2, a change occurs, that is, according to the service mode of request→response, the server 2 returns a response message to the requester 1 according to the request, but The request→answer mode is different, the response message is sent to the client software 4 built in the requester 1, and then, in step S3', the client software 4 sends the response message to the third party 3; In step S4, the third party 3 processes the response message to form a new response message (not shown), and returns the new response message to the client software 4. At this point, the service process is over.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that after the above step S4, the new response message will be processed by the requester 1, for example, on the display screen, and the display result may be different from the direct feedback from the service party 2 in step S2. In response to the message, this issue will be discussed in detail in the following procedure. Since, after step S4', the new response message is sent to the client software 4, in the embodiment, the new response message is directly processed by the client software 4, for example, in the display. The new response message is displayed on the screen, and those skilled in the art can understand that the client software 4 has the function that the requester 1 should perform, that is, the function of the requester to process the response message returned by the service party; Personnel can also understand that in the variation of this embodiment, the client software 4 can have some functions that the requester should have, but also some requesters do not have The backup function, for example, also displays a dialog box prompting the requester that the response is processed by a third party while displaying the new response message. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that in still another variation of this embodiment, the client software 4 does not have the function that the requesting party should have completed, and directly sends the new response message to the requesting party 1. The new response message is processed by the other components in the requester 1 according to the original workflow. Those skilled in the art can understand the implementation process, for example, by using an API function or the like in a Windows environment or the like.

Referring to FIG. 4, those skilled in the art understand that, after step S3, and after step S4, the third party 3 also processes the response message to form a new response message. The analysis of the specific process will be carried out in conjunction with Figure 5. A person skilled in the art may also understand that, after step S3, after step S4, the third party may not perform any processing on the response message, that is, the third party does not provide any service, although this seems to be redundant. Steps S3' and S4', but in some cases are also necessary, for example, the client software 4 is built into the requester 1 and is set to be a case where the request must be forwarded to a third party.

Referring to FIG. 4, those skilled in the art can understand that in the variation of this embodiment, the client software 4 is no longer built in the requester 1 but on the outside of the requester 1 and connected thereto, thereby causing the relevant order to occur. Certain changes. Those skilled in the art understand that the client software 4 and the requesting party 1 may be wired or wireless.

Those skilled in the art can implement more variations on the basis of Figs. 3, 4 and corresponding variations. For example, step S1 does not change on the basis of FIG. 3, but in step S2", the service party 2 transmits the response message to the third party 3; then in step S3, the third party answers the response message. Processing, forming a new response message; then, in step S4,, the third party 3 sends the new response message to the service party 2; in step S5", the service party 2 then the new response message Sent to requester 1.

Referring to Figure 5, a flow diagram of processing a response message by a third party in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention is depicted. First, in step S501, the third party 3 receives the response message, the response message is provided by the service party 2 and then performs step S502, the third party 3 processes the response message; then in step S503, the The third party 3 generates a new response message; finally, step S504 is performed, and the third party 3 transmits the new response message. Those skilled in the art can understand that the flow shown in FIG. 5 omits how the response message is generated and how it is sent to the third. The process of party 3, and the process of how the new response message is processed, will be explained below in conjunction with FIG.

Referring to Figure 6, there is depicted a flow diagram in which a requestor issues a request to the requestor to obtain a response message in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention. The flowchart shown in Fig. 6 is a further explanation of the timing chart shown in Fig. 3. First, in step S521, the requesting party 1 issues a request message for requesting a service party to provide a service to the service party 2; then, in step S522, the service party 2 processes the request message and provides a response message; and then performs step S523. The service party 2 sends the response message to the requester 1; then, step S524 is performed, the requester 1 sends a response message to the third party 3; then proceeds to step S525, the third party 3 receives the response message; S526, the third party 3 processes the response message; then, step S527 is performed to form a new response message; finally, step S528 is performed, and the third party 3 sends the new response message to the requester 1.

It can be understood by those skilled in the art that, in step S526 shown in FIG. 6 and step S502 shown in FIG. 5, the third party processes the response message in multiple ways, for example, filtering part of the object is a kind The specific processing method and highlighting part of the object are a specific processing method. The details will be specifically described below in conjunction with the third embodiment.

Referring to Figure 7, a flow chart for processing a response message provided by a server in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention is described. In this embodiment, after receiving the response message, the third party 3 first performs step S51 1 to determine whether it is necessary to add an object to the response message. If the object is not required to be added, step S513 is directly performed, and if the response message needs to be added, If the object is executed, step S512 is performed, that is, the object is added correspondingly, and then step S513 is performed; in step S513, it is determined whether it is necessary to modify some or all of the objects in the response message, if no modification is needed, Step S515 is performed. If the response message needs to be modified, step S514 is performed, that is, the object is modified accordingly, and then step S515 is performed. In step 515, it is determined whether part or all of the object in the response message is needed. If the deletion is not performed, step S517 is directly performed. If part or all of the deletion operation is required to be performed, step S516 is performed, that is, the object is deleted correspondingly, and then step S517 is performed; , and then determine whether some or all of the pairs in the response message are needed. If the hiding operation is not performed, if the hiding operation is not performed, the processing is ended. If the partial or total hiding operation is required, the step S518 is performed, that is, the object is hidden accordingly. The process ends.

Referring to FIG. 7, those skilled in the art can understand that the foregoing steps S511 to S518 can obtain different implementation manners according to different needs. In this embodiment, the third party 3 determines, according to the setting information of the requester 1, whether the object needs to be added, for example, the requesting party opens the option of using the third party service in the setting option, and the third party performs the operation of adding the object; Similarly, in this embodiment, the third party 3 adds a hyperlink to the news web page related to the keyword after the specific keyword, for example, the original text is "Afghanistan,,, and then appears as "Afghanistan after adding the object ( The French foreign minister said that bin Laden is still alive, and the added objects are set as hyperlinks. The specific implementation of the addition of objects and possible variations will be discussed later.

Referring to FIG. 7 , similarly, in step S513 of the embodiment, when the third party 3 determines that there are some key objects, the modification is performed based on the keywords, for example, FIG. 11A and FIG. 11B describe A modification operation implemented by the embodiment.

Referring to Figure 11A, there is shown the result of opening a document using a Word application published by Microsoft Corporation. This is the result of no third-party processing, in which all text is displayed in the format of "Chinese 楷" and "5".

Referring again to Fig. 11B, there is shown the result of opening a document again through the Word application in the case of using a service provided by a third party. Among the "review guidelines, four words are marked in red, and the font size is "three", "bold, tilt" and a prominent prompt. This is the requester (that is, the user who uses the Word application) This term will be clearly seen so that the relevant context can be specifically viewed.

Those skilled in the art understand that the above-mentioned FIG. 11B is only an example of modifying the response message. According to the different settings of the requester and/or other information (such as the history information of the requesting party), many changes can be made to the above example. . For example, keywords (key objects) may include not only "review guidelines" but also "computer software", indicating that the user may be concerned with the provisions of the "computer software" section of the "review guidelines"; for example, keywords may include both" The computer software "includes" a "computer program", which may be based on a synonym ("computer program,") of a keyword ("computer software,") that is automatically recognized by a third party. It will be more easily understood by those skilled in the art that the above-described modified format is also subject to various changes, and will not be described herein.

Referring again to FIG. 7, those skilled in the art understand that in the variation of the third embodiment, step S513 And step S514 can be implemented by other means, for example, the third party 3 determines whether there are two segment symbols in the text between the two segments, and if there is no segment symbol or less than two segment symbols, then the two segments are added. Segment the symbol to two segmentation symbols, so that the interval between paragraphs is clearer and more uniform, suitable for reading habits.

Referring to FIG. 7, similarly, in step S515 of the embodiment, the third party 3 determines whether there is a video or animation in the response message, and if so, deletes the video or animation, thereby completing step S516. However, those skilled in the art can understand that in other embodiments similar to the embodiment, the step S515 and the step S516 can also be implemented in other manners, for example, the third party 3 obtains the suggested deletion from a data source. The keyword information is compared with the response message, and if they match, all of the keywords in the response message are deleted.

Referring to FIG. 7, similarly, in the foregoing step S517, the third party 3 determines whether there is a certain identifier in the response message, and if so, hides the identifier, and then completes step S518. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that in other embodiments similar to the embodiment, the step S517 and the step S518 can also be implemented in other manners. At the same time, those skilled in the art can implement more ways of generating new response messages in combination with the present invention and the prior art.

Referring to Fig. 8, a specific flow of the step of adding an object in the embodiment shown in Fig. 7 is described. In the present embodiment, problems such as which objects are added, where they are added, and how they are expressed are solved, and in the variation, the process can also be realized by other factors. First, step S531 is executed, and the third party 3 determines a new object. Those skilled in the art understand that if the continuously added object is regarded as a new object, one or more new objects may exist, and if the new object exists, First, the first new object is pointed to; then, the process proceeds to step S532, and it is determined whether there is no new object. If there is no new object, the process ends. Otherwise, step S533 is performed; in step S533, it is determined that the object is to be added. Position; then determining in step S534 that the new object is increased in expression; then executing step S535, adding the new object in the determined representation at the above position; and finally executing step S536 to point to the next new object And step S532 is repeated.

Referring to FIG. 8, in the above embodiment, those skilled in the art understand that, in the above step S532, if it is determined that there are no more new objects, it may be because in step S531, it is determined that there is no new pair. For example, a new object that the third party 3 considers to be unsuitable after processing may be added; it is also possible that at least one new object is determined, but the object has been added to the response message, so there is no new object. Need to continue processing.

Referring to FIG. 8, in step S533 of the embodiment, the location may be determined in various manners, for example, the location after the determined key object (eg, keyword) is uniformly determined to increase the location of the new object, for example, the original text is "Afghanistan. ,,, after the addition of new objects, it is shown as "Afghanistan (the French Foreign Minister called Ben-Laden is still alive). For another example, in other variations, it may be determined that a third party icon is added in the middle of the key object, and the object is shaped like " ^A3⁄4 Khan". Similarly, step S534 can also be implemented in various ways, such as setting the added object as a hyperlink, or expressing the form as a blue font, "bold, tilt", and the like.

Referring to Figure 8, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the order of steps S533 and S534 described above has no effect on the content of the present invention and can be adjusted as needed. It can also be understood that the steps S536 and S532 have no effect on the content of the present invention, and various sequences can be implemented.

Referring to FIG. 8, the implementation manner of the foregoing step S535 may be implemented separately according to service modes of different service providers, for example, adding a new object corresponding to a manner of providing a service by a webpage and a manner of providing a service by an application such as Word. The processing method will be different. Those skilled in the art can understand and implement this, and therefore will not be described again.

Referring again to FIG. 8, for step S553, in some embodiments, the problem of determining a key object may be involved, and similarly, referring to FIG. 7, in some embodiments shown in the figure, step S514, step S516, step S518 may also involve determining the problem of the key object. Those skilled in the art understand that the key object may be any combination of various contents, such as text, pictures, animation information, sound information, and video information. As described above, the method for determining a key object can be implemented in various ways. For example, in this embodiment, the key object is static, for example, set by the third party in a database, in the process of processing. In the other case, the key object can be dynamic, for example, the key objects are retrieved from multiple data sources, the key objects are classified, and the latest key is used. Objects replace key objects with low frequency, making these key objects dynamically changing. For example, the top 20 news items of each news website (for example, setting 10) can be analyzed, and the key objects among them can be retrieved as the latest key objects, so that the current hot news can be reflected in the key objects. Ben Those skilled in the art understand that there are multiple implementations for determining a dynamic key object process, and details are not described herein. At the same time, it can be understood that the method of the above dynamic key object can be combined with the method of the static key object. For example, after the dynamic key object is determined, the first three key objects can be manually processed to make the key object more accurate. As another example, key objects can also be synonym-matched to determine other key objects that may be relevant to the most recent key object.

The process of determining a key object can be an implementation of the predetermined rules described herein. In the present invention, the response message is processed by a predetermined rule, thereby finally generating a new response message. This predetermined rule can be used in both Figures 1 to 16. Those skilled in the art understand that there are various implementations of the predetermined rules, such as directly extracting key objects (such as keywords) from the response message, and, for example, making a request to other service parties other than the third party, and as a result of sorting the result of the request as a result. A required key object, and the key object must be included in the processing result of processing the response message.

Referring to Figure 9, a detailed flow chart for determining new object steps in the embodiment illustrated in Figure 8 is depicted. First, step S551 is performed, the third party 3 analyzes the request message sent by the requester 1; then proceeds to step S552, the third party 3 analyzes the response message provided by the service party 2; Step S553, the third party 3 analyzes the request message history of the requester 1; then proceeds to step S555, the third party 3 analyzes the parameter information set by the requester 1; finally, proceeds to step S556, where The third party 3 generates a new object.

Referring to FIG. 9, in this embodiment, performing the above step S551 may enable the third party 3 to know the specific request of the requester 1, so that the requester 1 may be provided with more in combination with step S553 and/or step S555. An accurate response message (ie, a new response message obtained after processing on the basis of the response message provided by the servant 2). Of course, those skilled in the art can also understand that step S551 may not be performed in some cases because some request messages cannot be obtained. For example, when the requester 1 (user) clicks on the "news" link in a portal, the "news" request message can be obtained, and for example, the requester 1 inputs "news," and confirms in the search engine. The "news" request message can also be obtained, or for example, when the user makes an inquiry in an ERP software, the "query," request message and the keyword and logical relationship on which the query is based can also be used as the request message. Obtained; but when the user simply opens a document, Then the request message that the "open" action can represent is limited, and in the extreme, it can not get any request message.

Referring to FIG. 9, the third party 3 can perform the above step S552 in different manners. For example, in this embodiment, only the content of the response message is matched with the determined keyword. If the matching is successful, the corresponding processing is performed, but the implementation is performed. In other similar changes, the content of the response message is mined to find out the associated information points, thereby providing the requester 1 with more detailed analysis information.

Referring to FIG. 9, in the embodiment, performing the above step S553 may have a relatively accurate judgment on the most recent concern of the requester 1, so that the requester 1 can be further provided with more accurate information and more Its interested service. For example, in the past 50 clicks, the number of times the requester 1 clicked on the "finance" keyword was 33 times, which far exceeded the number of clicks of other keywords. Therefore, the requester can be initially considered to be "one pair". For financial management, relevant information is of interest. Therefore, when the third party 3 performs analysis, it is possible to increase the weight of the content related to "financial management", thereby setting it as the easiest way to be concerned by the requesting party 1. It can be understood that, in other changes similar to the embodiment, other methods and algorithms may be used to analyze the history of the request message to obtain an accurate conclusion. The most frequently appearing keywords in the documents that Requester 1 recently read through the Word application are "patent", "intangible assets", "mortgage,", then it can be further inferred that the requester 1 wants to know more. With regard to the issue of patent evaluation and patent pledge, it can be further inferred that the requester 1 may also be concerned about intellectual property as an intangible asset. Related issues, which can expand the series of keywords as "intellectual property", "intangible assets", "mortgage", "pledge", "assessment", "assessment agency", "patent", "trademark", "copyright" ", "domain name" and so on.

Referring to FIG. 9, performing the above step S555 may further determine the content of interest to the user. In this embodiment, for example, the user (requesting party) may set the content that the user pays attention to in the setting option provided by the third party 3, for example, according to the manner of "domain" → "keyword". The setting is made by the user item by item, and for example, the keyword can also be directly determined and submitted to the third party 3.

Those skilled in the art can understand that the above steps S551 to S555 can be implemented separately with reference to the prior art, and each step has a different implementation manner. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that in this embodiment, the steps S551 to S555 are analyzed in total, and then the step S556 is executed to generate new content. However, in other variations of the embodiment, only step S551 may be performed. The part in step S555. For example, step S551 may be omitted, and step S522 may be performed. At this time, it is indicated that the third party 3 will analyze only the response message provided by the service party 2 without other analysis. For another example, in another variation, steps S552, S553, and S555 are performed to indicate that the third party 3 directly analyzes the parameter information of the request message and the parameter information set by the user, thereby generating a new response message.

Referring to FIG. 9, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that although steps S551 to S555 are sequentially performed in this embodiment, in other implementations similar to the present embodiment, steps S551 to S555 may be performed in parallel. For example, the information determined in step S551 to step S555 is analyzed by a process (in the form of parameters) to generate new content, step S556.

Referring to FIG. 9, steps S553 and S554 are all part of the requestor related information according to the present invention, but other contents may be included in other variations.

Referring to Figure 10, it describes the manner in which the services provided by third parties are sourced. In this embodiment, there are three sources of services provided by the third party 3. The first way, that is, the information existing in the server of the third party 3; the second way, that is, the server of the third party 3 does not have the required information, so that the third party 3 sends a request to the other party and according to the corresponding result Determine what you need; the third way is information that is directly provided by other parties.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that in the above first manner, the information may be set by the third party 3, for example, the third party 3 has copyrighted content (for example, a third party introduction). In a variant, the information may also be a compilation of certain hotspot information, such as content compiled on the basis of content provided by a content service provider.

Those skilled in the art should understand that in the above second mode and the third mode, the other party may be a content service provider, for example, a comprehensive website providing news. In the variation, it may also be a search engine, that is, the third party 3 issues a search request to the search engines, and determines the required content for the search engine's response to the search request.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that in the foregoing second manner, in order to ensure that the new response message provided by the third party is not delayed too long, the third party 3 can set the response time, for example, from receiving the response message to The upper response time between issuing the new response message, and if needed To send a request message to the other parties, from the issuance of the request message to the upper limit of the response time of the other party's reply, for example, if no reply is obtained within the upper limit, then other new content may be considered instead. Or cancel the new content.

Those skilled in the art should understand that there are multiple implementations for the third method described above. For example, the third party 3 only provides a hyperlink to the content, and the content corresponding to the hyperlink is provided by the other parties. In such a case, when the content set by the other party is changed, the new content included in the new response message provided by the third party 3 will be different from the result. For another example, the other party may also be a search engine. In this case, the possible result is the search result of the search engine.

Referring again to FIG. 11B, the figure is understood by those skilled in the art, and the figure shows that the content presented by the new response message generated by the third party is different from the content presented by the original response message, for example, the display mode and the original response of the "review guide" text. The message is different. It should also be understood that in some variations, the content presented by the new response message may be the same as the content presented by the original response message. For example, when you replace an object in the original response message, you can change the object to a hyperlink, and the other formats of the object are the same, and only appear when the user places the mouse over the object. The object includes a hyperlink, otherwise the new reply message presents the same content as the original response message.
