Description

Community verification method and server

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of internet communication, in particular to a community verification method and a server.

Background

Social Networking Services (SNS) is an internet application service that aims to help people establish a social network. Also refers to the existing information carriers which have been mature and popular in society, such as short message SMS service. In the internet communication technology, a social network site or a social network (i.e., social network site) may also be referred to as SNS.

The SNS websites have been developed to expand the social field of their applications from the initial circle of interest to today's social circles including various specific social relationships, such as communities based on specific social circles, e.g., corporate communities, campus communities, library communities, etc. Some SNS websites can guide users to fill in information of interests, friends and the like of the users, a few websites can also guide the users to fill in information of communities to which the users belong in sequence, and community-related services are provided, but most SNS websites do not provide a user authentication mechanism and cannot ensure the authenticity of the information of the user communities.

And some SNS websites launch a relationship network of two latitudes of "company" and "industry". Only users authenticated by the corporate community (proving that they are employees of the company) are eligible to use products and services at the latitude of the company. It provides a way for company email verification to determine the user's qualification, e.g., the user may apply for joining via company distributed email. And the SNS website sends an authentication mail to the mailbox after confirming the email suffix as the company mailbox suffix. The user receives the mail to prove that the mailbox is owned by the user. Click on the verification link in the mail to complete the verification.

However, the above-mentioned enterprise community verification steps are cumbersome, the problem of delay, delivery failure and the like may exist in the verification mail, and many users cannot open the company mailbox to check and receive the verification mail in non-working time/non-working place; for other types of communities, there may be no mailbox associated with a particular community, no way to verify user identity by authenticating mail, and so forth. Making it cumbersome for users of these communities to use, which require authentication of the user's identity.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

In the embodiment of the invention, the community IP is obtained by collecting the behavior data of a small part of users and the Internet Protocol (IP) information between networks, and the community to which the identity of the large part of users belongs is identified through the community IP. The method can greatly simplify the complicated community verification process of the user, reduce the operation threshold of the community verification, provide great convenience for the user, and ensure the authenticity of user data and the purity of community members to a certain extent. The following specifically describes various embodiments of the present invention based on the above-described concept.

Fig. 1 is a schematic specific flowchart of a community verification method in an embodiment of the present invention, which includes the following steps.

101. And acquiring behavior data and IP information of a user for joining the community.

The community referred to in the embodiments of the present invention refers to a network resource provided in an SNS website or other types of network applications and used by a common specific user group, for example, an enterprise community (a forum, a microblog relationship, etc. established for a specific enterprise to allow employees of the specific enterprise to perform various communications), a school community, an internet cafe community, a library community, and the like. Members of these communities may have relatively fixed IP addresses or IP address ranges when logging in, for example, if an enterprise community user is likely to log in the community at an enterprise office, the IP address is likely to be the IP allocated by the internet for the internet access terminal within the office range. Then the purity of the user identity can be maintained by obtaining these IP addresses and performing user identity verification accordingly (i.e. the following IP white list verification method of the current IP); meanwhile, in order to provide convenience for the user, the user who has been verified to be successful although the current IP is not in the IP white list can be allowed to enter the community (i.e. the IP white list verification method and the user ID verification method of the common IP described below).

The behavior data includes a verification behavior that the user applies for joining a certain community, or other behaviors that the user may be related to the community to which the user belongs (for example, a behavior of joining a member of an instant communication group corresponding to the community), and the like, and the IP information refers to information such as an IP address used when the user performs the behavior (the IP address is a 32-bit address allocated to each host connected to the Internet, and may be a 64-bit address, a 128-bit address, and the like in the future as the network scale is continuously expanded).

102. And acquiring an IP white list of the community according to the behavior data and the IP information. There are various methods for generating the IP white list, for example, a user obtains the IP white list by verification that the user joins the community through a community mailbox authentication method, or obtains the IP white list by analyzing the group name and obtaining the community group member, or may directly set the IP white list through a method preset by a third party, and the following describes several methods for obtaining the IP white list.

The first method comprises the steps of recording authentication IP information when a user successfully joins a community through a community mailbox authentication mode, and adding the authentication IP information into an IP white list of the community when the number of the user who successfully joins the community by using the authentication IP reaches a preset threshold value. Of course, if the predetermined threshold is 1, it means that the IP address is added to the IP white list as long as the user has successfully added the IP address to the community. Meanwhile, the number of the users may be counted as the number of times that the same user ID or different user IDs join the community, for example, the number of times that the same user ID is successfully logged in using the IP may be counted, or the number of times that different user IDs are successfully logged in using the IP may be counted.

Moreover, for the generation of the IP white list, different IP filtering modes may be provided for different community types, for example, for an enterprise community, in order to avoid miscalculating the IP of a public place into the IP white list, a non-enterprise IP list may be preset on a background (i.e., a verification server), and only the IP not in the non-enterprise IP list is allowed to be added into the IP white list. That is, when adding the IP information to the white list, it may be further determined whether the authentication IP is an IP in a predetermined non-enterprise IP list, and when the determination result is no, the authentication IP information is added to the IP white list of the enterprise community. The IPs in the predetermined list of non-enterprise IPs include IPs assigned for use by public-profit locations and/or IPs assigned for use by public-non-profit locations, such as internet caf é IPs, school IPs, restaurant IPs external to the enterprise, and the like.

The second method is that the name of the instant communication group is analyzed to obtain a community group, and the community group is a group related to the specific community; and then, counting the IP aggregation condition of the community group members in the working time period to obtain an IP white list of the community corresponding to the community group. When the community group is obtained through analysis, the name of the group can be analyzed through the keyword, whether the group is the corresponding community group or not is judged, for example, if the community is a community of a certain library, the community with the name of the certain library can be identified as the community group.

And thirdly, acquiring the community IP through third party data and manual collection. That is, the rules for adding the IP whitelist may also be adjusted and set according to the needs of the user. For example, a manager of the community can set specific joining rules, and the manager can also manually add the IP address or the IP address segment on the basis of self-learning. Of course, the setting may be performed by an administrator of the community site in the background server. The "rule of adding to the IP white list" may further include a time when the user applies for adding to the community (for example, for the enterprise community, only the application of the working time is a reasonable application), a number of times, a frequency, and the like.

Acquiring all IP addresses of all members who have joined a certain community and log in the community; and counting all IP addresses logged in by all members, and when the number of certain IP addresses exceeds a certain threshold value, listing the IP addresses in an IP white list.

The above modes can coexist, and only one or more modes can be adopted to obtain the IP white list. Of course, there are other ways to obtain the white list, and the general principles can be understood as follows: the IP in the IP white list should be the IP used by the legal community member to ensure that the user who joins the community is finally verified to be the legal community member user.

103. And when a new user applies for joining the community, judging whether the current IP or the common IP of the user is the IP in the IP white list of the community, and allowing the user to join the community if the judgment result is yes. The current IP of the user refers to an IP address used when the user applies for joining the community, the common IP refers to an IP address frequently used when the user logs in other communities or groups of the website, and the current IP and the common IP may be different.

The user applying for joining the community in step 103 may be a new user or a user who has joined the community, and as long as the IP used by the user meets the rule in the step, the user can directly enter the community through background authentication without repeating the existing authentication mode including a large amount of user interaction.

Meanwhile, when a user browses the SNS website, whether the IP address of the user is the IP in the IP white list of a certain community in the website is judged, and if the IP address of the user is the IP in the IP white list of the certain community in the website, the community group can be recommended to the user.

It can be seen from the above steps that the background can collect prior knowledge through steps 101 to 102 to generate an IP white list, and the verification method for the user to join the community at this stage can adopt a traditional verification method. For the verification in the latter stage, i.e. the verification in step 103, it is sufficient to use these a priori knowledge to determine whether the IP of the user is in the IP white list.

The verification method in the embodiment of the invention has great flexibility, and the IP white list can be automatically changed according to the requirement, so that a new IP is added. When a user using a new IP joins, it can be properly added to the IP white list after several learning, facilitating the subsequent joining of the user using the IP.

In order to improve the flexibility of the verification, considering the inflexibility of a community verification mode of many communities, and allowing some users who successfully verify that the IP of the users is not necessarily the IP in the IP white list, the embodiment of the invention further provides a verification mechanism of the ID white list on the basis of the verification method. As shown in fig. 2, the embodiment of the present invention further includes the following steps.

201. And acquiring user ID information matched with the IP white list of the community, and adding the ID information into the ID white list of the community. This step may be performed together with the aforementioned step 102 or after the step 102, that is, when adding the appropriate IP information to the IP whitelist, the corresponding user ID information is added to the ID whitelist at the same time (or, based on the case of adding the IP whitelist, the corresponding ID is added to the ID whitelist). Then, at this time, the generation condition of the ID whitelist is identical to that of the IP whitelist.

202. When a user applies for joining the community, judging whether the ID of the user is the ID in the ID white list of the community, and allowing the user to join the community if the judgment result is yes.

As can be seen from the above description of steps, even if a user does not join a community within the address range of a specific community, the user can join the community as long as the user ID is correct. It should be noted that the user ID is not necessarily only the user ID for the community, but for example, for an SNS site, it may provide various types of communities for users to choose from, and a user may have a user ID for logging in the SNS site, and it is not necessary to separately apply for a user ID in each specific social network.

Meanwhile, the community may include one or more of a group, a forum, and a microblog for a specific object. The group, forum, and microblog applications may also be associated with an instant messaging application, and when a user logs in an instant messaging application with a certain ID, the ID may also be used as an ID in the group, forum, and microblog applications, and the verification method may adopt the method in the above embodiment of the present invention.

To further illustrate the above flow, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a verification method for an enterprise community, as shown in fig. 3, the verification method in this embodiment includes the following flow.

301. And acquiring the enterprise IP.

The user applies for joining a certain enterprise community, fills in a mailbox address allocated by the company, and receives the verification mail. Recording the current IP address of the user authentication. When the number of people using a certain IP reaches a certain threshold value and the IP is not the IP of the Internet bar/school, the IP is added to the white list of the IP of the company, namely the IP is considered as the IP of the company.

302. The user ID is acquired.

And recording the login IP of the user. When the login IP is matched with the enterprise IP (namely the IP white list), the user ID using the IP is recorded in the member white list of the enterprise, and when the user ID is subsequently used for applying for joining the company, even if the IP address is changed, the IP authentication can be passed through due to the record.

303. Enterprise IP/user ID authentication.

When a user applies for joining a company, whether the current IP or the common IP of the user is in an IP white list or not or whether the user ID is in a member white list is judged. If so, the authentication is passed.

As shown in fig. 4, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a community verification server, which includes the following units.

An information obtaining unit 41, configured to obtain behavior data and IP information of a user joining a community; a white list obtaining unit 43, configured to obtain an IP white list of the community according to the behavior data and the IP information; and the IP verification unit 45 is configured to determine whether the current IP or the common IP of the user is an IP in the IP white list of the community when the user applies for joining the community, and allow the user to join the community if the determination result is yes.

As shown in fig. 5, the white list obtaining unit 43 may include: a mailbox authentication recording subunit 431, configured to record authentication IP information when a user successfully joins the community through a community mailbox authentication manner; a threshold judging subunit 433, configured to judge whether the number of users who successfully join the community using the authentication IP reaches a predetermined threshold; a white list obtaining subunit 435, configured to add the authentication IP information to the IP white list of the community when the threshold value determining subunit determines that the threshold value is yes.

Alternatively, the white list obtaining unit 43 includes: the group analysis subunit is used for obtaining the community group by analyzing the instant messaging group name; and the group white list subunit is used for counting the IP aggregation conditions of the community group members in the working time period to obtain the IP white list of the community corresponding to the community group. These two subunits (not shown) may be present in parallel with the subunits shown in fig. 5 or may be present separately. That is, when acquiring the white list, the acquisition method corresponding to the composition structure shown in fig. 5 may be adopted, the acquisition method corresponding to the composition structure in this paragraph may be adopted, or both the methods may be adopted.

Further, as shown in fig. 6, the server may further include: an ID white list obtaining unit 44, configured to obtain user ID information matched with an IP white list of the community, and add the ID information to the ID white list of the community; and an ID verification unit 46, configured to determine whether the ID of the user is an ID in the ID white list of the community when the user applies for joining the community, and allow the user to join the community if the determination result is yes.

Wherein the community comprises one or more of a group, a forum, a microblog for a particular object.
