As shown in fig. 5, in an embodiment, a group management method based on a controlled device is provided, and this embodiment is illustrated by applying the method to the terminal 104 in fig. 1 and fig. 3. The method specifically comprises the following steps:

step 502, when the second user identifier which is currently logged in starts to access the shared controlled device, a notification of accessing the controlled device is sent to the server.

Specifically, an application program for accessing and controlling the controlled device is run on the terminal, a control page is provided through the application program, the control page is used for accessing the shared controlled device, and the user can realize direct access and direct control on the controlled device by operating the control page. The controlled device is shared by the device owner to the designated device sharer, and the server records the user identification of the device owner and the user identification of the device sharer.

When the terminal enters the control page, the terminal triggers a notification of entering the control page and sends the notification to the server, so that the server knows that the terminal is accessing the controlled equipment, and the server can record or update the access time corresponding to the corresponding user identifier as the current time.

In one embodiment, the control page includes a control for triggering a control instruction, and the terminal triggers a corresponding control instruction when detecting a preset operation on the control, and transmits the control instruction to the controlled device through the server, so that the controlled device responds according to the control instruction.

In one embodiment, the control page includes a display area for displaying data from the controlled device, where the data from the controlled device may be data that is fed back by the controlled device in response to a control instruction sent by the terminal, or data that is actively sent by the controlled device.

For example, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a corresponding control page when the controlled device is a webcam, where the control page includes

controls

601 and 602, where the control 601 is used to trigger pausing or playing of a video image of the webcam, and the control 602 is used to trigger full-screen playing of the video image of the webcam. The manipulation page further includes an image display area 603 for displaying a video image from the network camera.

Step 504, receiving a first user identifier returned by the server according to the notification; wherein the first user identification is a user identification that is also accessing the shared controlled device within a preset time period including a start time of the second user identification accessing the shared controlled device.

The starting time refers to the time when the second user identifier starts to access the shared controlled device, the server queries the first user identifier meeting the preset conditions according to the notification of entering the control page, and returns the queried first user identifier to the terminal which sends the notification of entering the control page. The user Identifier is a character string that uniquely identifies the user, and may include at least one of numbers, letters, and punctuation marks, and the user Identifier may be an instant messaging account and a UUID (universal unique Identifier). The first user id is used to distinguish from a second user id that is a user id of a terminal currently logged in and notified that the terminal enters the manipulation page, and the first user id is a user id recorded by the server in addition to the second user id.

The preset conditions include: and the access time corresponding to the returned first user identification is within a preset time period including the start time of the second user identification for starting accessing the shared controlled equipment, and the corresponding access time is recorded or updated when the controlled equipment is accessed by the terminal corresponding to the first user identification. The predetermined period of time is typically relatively short, such as 2 minutes.

The access time is used for representing the time for accessing the controlled device, and the terminal corresponding to the specific first user identifier can trigger the access to the controlled device when entering the control page, so that the server is informed to record or update the corresponding access time. When interacting with the controlled device, the terminal corresponding to the first user identifier also accesses the controlled device, and also triggers recording or updating of access time. When the controlled equipment is accessed, if the corresponding access time does not exist, recording new access time, and if the corresponding access time does not exist, updating the access time to be the current time.

The access time may be an absolute time representing a specific point in time, such as X years, X months, X days, X hours, X minutes; the binding time may also be a relative time starting from a preset absolute time point, for example, the access time may be expressed as a number of seconds different from the preset absolute time point.

For example, it is assumed that a number of first user identifiers and corresponding access times are recorded on the server, as shown in table one below:

table one:

first user identification	Time of access
		12121315	2015/8/31 18:29:03
11346151	2015/8/31 18:26:03
		13513165	2015/8/31 18:30:03
25154616	2015/8/31 18:25:03

If the current time is 2015/8/3118: 30:30 and the preset time period is 2 minutes, the first subscriber identity having the access time within the time period of 2015/8/3118: 28:30 to 2015/8/3118: 30:30 should be returned to the terminal, i.e., the first subscriber identities 12121315 and 13513165 should be returned to the terminal.

In one embodiment, after receiving a notification carrying a user identifier used for terminal login and entering a control page, a server verifies whether the user identifier carried in the notification corresponds to at least one of a device owner or a device sharer. If not, refusing to access the controlled equipment and informing the terminal; and if so, returning the first user identification meeting the preset conditions to the terminal.

Step 506, displaying a first prompt for guiding the user to establish the group according to the first user identifier.

Specifically, the terminal displays a first prompt on the control page according to a first user identifier returned by the server, wherein the first prompt comprises prompt characters for guiding the user to establish a group, so that the user is guided to operate the first prompt and establish the group.

The first prompt comprises words for guiding the user to establish the group, and can further comprise at least one of an avatar icon corresponding to the returned first user identifier and the total number of the returned first user identifiers. The number of the displayed avatar icons is determined according to the size of the display area of the first prompt, the avatar icons displayed in the first prompt can be selected according to the descending order of the access time of the corresponding first user identifier, and the avatar icon corresponding to the user identifier of the latest access-controlled device is selected with particular priority.

For example, referring to fig. 7, if the total number of the first user identifiers returned by the server is 20, the terminal may display a first prompt 710 in the control page, where the first prompt 710 includes an icon 711 of 3 of the returned first user identifiers and may further include text 712, where the text includes the total number of the first user identifiers 20 returned by the server and also includes text guiding the user to establish a group as "open group chat". Referring to fig. 8 again, if the number of the first user identifiers returned by the server is 1, the first prompt in the manipulation page displayed by the terminal may include an icon of a head portrait and may no longer include text describing the total number of the first user identifiers returned by the server.

In one embodiment, the terminal may display a floating layer and display a first prompt in the floating layer. Wherein the floating layer refers to a layer which is covered on other pages and can be closed.

In one embodiment, the terminal may stop displaying the first prompt when displaying the first prompt for a preset time period, or may stop displaying the first prompt when detecting an operation of closing the prompt. Specifically, the terminal may display a floating layer on the control page, and display a first prompt for guiding the user to establish the group in the floating layer. The terminal can close the floating layer when the floating layer is displayed for a preset time length so as to stop displaying the first prompt; or the floating layer can display a control for closing the floating layer, and the terminal closes the floating layer when detecting the click on the control, so as to stop displaying the first prompt.

And step 508, sending a request for establishing a group to the server when detecting the preset operation of the first prompt, so that the server establishes the group according to the first user identifier, the second user identifier and the device identifier of the shared controlled device.

Specifically, after displaying a first prompt, the terminal starts to detect a preset operation on the first prompt. The preset operation includes at least one of a touch operation, an operation of pressing a physical button, an operation of clicking a mouse, an operation of shaking the terminal, and the like.

And after detecting the preset operation of the first prompt, the terminal generates a request for establishing the group and sends the request to the server. And the server receives and responds to the request for establishing the group, and establishes the group according to the returned first user identification, the second user identification currently logged in by the terminal and the equipment identification of the controlled equipment. The device identification is a character string uniquely identifying the controlled device and may include at least one of a number, a letter, and a punctuation mark.

The group is a data object which can represent the communication relationship among multiple users, and the terminals corresponding to the user identifications in the group can be communicated one-to-many, many-to-one and many-to-many. The group identification can be used for linking a plurality of user identifications to represent a group, and a terminal corresponding to any user identification in the group can communicate with terminals corresponding to other user identifications in the group, so that multiparty communication can be realized.

In one embodiment, the server may establish a group by taking the returned first user identifier, the second user identifier currently logged in by the terminal, and the device identifier of the controlled device as group members, and assign a unique group identifier to the established group. Messages are communicated between the group members based on the group identification.

In one embodiment, the server may establish the group by taking the returned first user identifier and the second user identifier currently logged in by the terminal as group members, and establish the group by taking the device identifier of the controlled device as the group identifier.

According to the group management method based on the controlled equipment, the controlled equipment is shared, a plurality of users can access the controlled equipment, the utilization rate of the controlled equipment is high, and resource waste can be avoided as much as possible. And the user informs the server when accessing the shared controlled equipment, so that the first user identification returned by the server can be received. Wherein the returned first user identification comprises the user identification of the controlled device being accessed. Displaying the first prompt may then guide the user to operate the prompt, such that the corresponding group is established upon detecting a preset operation on the prompt. The user can know the user accessing the controlled device through the prompt, so that the user is guided to establish a group based on the shared controlled device, the user interacts according to the group, the shared controlled device can be combined with network social contact, and the approach of network social contact is increased.

In one embodiment, before step 506, the method further comprises: querying a user type of the second user identification corresponding to the equipment identification of the controlled equipment; when the inquired user type is the equipment master, displaying a first prompt for guiding the user to establish a group according to the first user identification; and when the inquired user type is the device sharer, displaying a second prompt describing the user accessing the controlled device according to the first user identification.

In particular, the terminal may query the second user identification from the terminal locally or from the server for the user type corresponding to the device identification of the controlled device. Wherein the user type comprises a device owner and a device sharer, which respectively indicate whether the user represented by the user identification is the device owner or the device sharer of the controlled device represented by the device identification. The user type of the device owner is generated when the user performs an operation of binding the controlled device, and the device sharer is generated when the user is shared with the controlled device under the permission of the device owner.

One of the user identifications corresponds to one of the device identifications and has a unique attribute of the user type, and one of the user identifications corresponds to a different one of the device identifications and can have an attribute of the corresponding user type, so that one user can be a device owner or a device sharer for different controlled devices.

When the terminal inquires that the user type corresponding to the device identifier of the second user identifier is the device owner, the above step 506 is executed, so as to display a first prompt for guiding the user to establish the group according to the first user identifier returned by the server.

And when the terminal inquires that the user type corresponding to the equipment identifier of the second user identifier is the equipment sharer, displaying a second prompt according to the first user identifier returned by the server, wherein the second prompt describes the user accessing the controlled equipment currently.

For example, referring to fig. 9, if the total number of the first user identifiers returned by the server is 20, the terminal may display a second prompt 910 in the control page, where the second prompt 910 includes an icon 911 of the avatar of 3 of the returned first user identifiers, and may further include a text 912 describing the number of users currently accessing the controlled device, where the number of users currently accessing the controlled device is the total number of the first user identifiers returned by the server is 20. Referring to fig. 10 again, if the number of the first user identifiers returned by the server is 1, the second prompt in the control page displayed by the terminal may include an avatar icon and may also include a user name corresponding to the first user identifier.

In this embodiment, the second user identifier is queried for the user type corresponding to the device identifier, and the first prompt and the second prompt are respectively displayed according to the queried user type, so that the device owner has the right to establish the group.

As shown in fig. 11, in another embodiment, a group management method based on controlled devices is provided, and this embodiment is exemplified by applying the method to the terminal 104 in fig. 1 and fig. 3. The method specifically comprises the following steps:

step 1102, sending a notification of accessing the controlled device to the server when the second user identifier currently logged on starts accessing the shared controlled device.

Step 1104, receiving a first user identifier returned by the server according to the notification; wherein the first user identification is a user identification that is also accessing the shared controlled device within a preset time period including a start time of the second user identification accessing the shared controlled device.

Step 1106, inquiring the user type of the second user identifier corresponding to the device identifier of the controlled device; it is queried whether an established group corresponding to the device identification of the controlled device exists.

Specifically, the terminal may query whether an established group corresponding to the device identification of the controlled device exists from the terminal locally or from the server.

Step 1108, when the queried user type is the device owner and the group is not established, displaying a first prompt for guiding the user to establish the group according to the first user identifier.

Specifically, it is found that the user type corresponding to the second user identifier is the device owner and has the authority to establish the group; and if the controlled device does not establish the group, the user can be prompted to establish the group for interaction.

Step 1110, sending a request for establishing a group to the server when detecting a preset operation for the first prompt, so that the server establishes the group according to the first user identifier, the second user identifier, and the device identifier of the controlled device. The second user id of the current login refers to the user id of the current login terminal 104.

And 1112, when the inquired user type is the device owner and the established group is inquired, displaying a third prompt for guiding the user to join the established group according to the first user identification.

Specifically, it is found that the user type corresponding to the second user identifier is the device owner and has the authority to establish the group; but since the group corresponding to the controlled device is established, the user can be prompted to join the established group for interaction.

For example, referring to fig. 12, if the total number of the first user identifiers returned by the server is 20, the terminal may display a third prompt 1210 in the control page, where the third prompt 1210 includes an icon 1211 of 3 of the returned first user identifiers and may further include text 1212, and the text includes the total number of the first user identifiers returned by the server is 20 and also includes text guiding the user to join the established group as "join group chat". Referring to fig. 13 again, if the number of the first user identifiers returned by the server is 1, the third prompt in the manipulation page displayed by the terminal may include an icon of a head portrait and a corresponding user name, and may no longer include text describing the total number of the first user identifiers returned by the server.

Step 1114, sending a request for joining the group to the server when detecting a preset operation for the third prompt, so that the server joins the second user identifier to the established group corresponding to the device identifier of the controlled device.

Specifically, at this time, it is queried that the device owner has already established a group corresponding to the device identifier of the controlled device, so that the device owner can join the currently logged-in second user identifier into the established group for interaction. Such as a device owner that previously established a group, and may rejoin the already established group because of a temporary exit without dismissing the group.

When the queried user type is the device sharer and the group is not established, a second prompt describing the user accessing the controlled device is displayed according to the first user identifier, step 1116.

Step 1118, when the queried user type is the device sharer and the established group is queried, displaying a third prompt for guiding the user to join the established group according to the first user identifier.

Specifically, at this time, it is queried that the device owner has already established a group corresponding to the device identifier of the controlled device, so that the device sharer can join the currently logged-in second user identifier into the group established by the device owner for interaction.

In one embodiment, step 1106 further comprises: and inquiring whether the controlled equipment supports the group interaction mode. If the group interaction mode is supported, selecting a corresponding prompt according to the inquired user type and the inquiry result of whether the established group exists; and if the group interaction mode is not supported, directly displaying a second prompt for describing the user accessing the controlled equipment. Wherein, selecting the corresponding prompt according to the queried user type and the query result of whether the established group exists comprises at least one of the

steps

1108, 1112, 1116 and 1118.

The group management method based on the controlled device provided by this embodiment may determine whether the user has the authority to establish the group according to the user type, and may limit the number of groups corresponding to the device identifier according to whether the established group exists, so as to guide the user to perform different processes by prompting, thereby further ensuring the security of establishing the group.

In one embodiment, before step 506, the method further includes: acquiring a corresponding social relation chain according to the second user identification; screening out a first user identifier with a social friend relationship with a second user identifier from the first user identifiers returned by the server according to the obtained social relationship chain; and displaying a first prompt for guiding the user to establish the group according to the screened first user identification.

In particular, a social relationship chain refers to data that is used to represent a user's social relationship in a social network. The terminal can read the social relation chain corresponding to the second user identification cached locally by the terminal, or can pull the social relation chain corresponding to the second user identification from the server.

The terminal compares the obtained social relation chain with the first user identification returned by the server, and selects the first user identification with the social friend relation with the second user identification from the first user identification returned by the server, so that a first prompt is displayed according to the selected first user identification. The social friend relationship is not limited to a friend relationship, and may include at least one of a colleague relationship, a relatives relationship, a spouse relationship, and the like.

In this embodiment, the first user identifier is screened, so that the first prompt is displayed according to the first user identifier obtained by screening, so as to guide the user to establish a group for interaction. Therefore, the composition of the group members is restricted through the social friend relationship, and the safety of the group establishment and the user interaction after the group establishment can be further improved.

In one embodiment, the server may obtain a corresponding social relationship chain according to the second user identifier, perform screening according to the obtained social relationship chain, and return the first user identifier having a social friend relationship with the second user identifier to the terminal; and the access time corresponding to the returned first user identification is within a preset time period including the starting time of the second user identification for starting accessing the shared controlled equipment.

As shown in fig. 14, in an embodiment, the group management method based on controlled devices further includes a step of performing group interaction, which specifically includes the following steps:
