Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a friend avatar updating method applied to a social account of a server according to an exemplary embodiment. The friend head portrait updating method applied to the social account of the server is applicable to the implementation environment shown in fig. 1.

As shown in fig. 3, the method for updating the friend icon of the social account applied to the server may include the following steps.

In step 310, a friend avatar update check request sent by the first terminal is received, where the friend avatar update check request is used to instruct the server to determine whether the friend avatar of the social account is updated.

The social account is a login account used for representing the identity of the user in the social application, and the social card number may be, for example, a QQ account, a microblog account, a wechat account, or the like. For example, if the social account corresponding to the first terminal is a wechat account, the friend avatar is a user avatar corresponding to the wechat account having a friend relationship with the wechat account, that is, after the wechat account logs in the first terminal, the avatar of another user displayed in a friend display list corresponding to the wechat account is displayed. It should be added that the buddy relationship, including the established long-term session relationship, and the temporary session relationship, is not specifically limited herein.

The friend avatar update check request initiated by the first terminal to the server for the friend avatar is generated by triggering an avatar update operation for the friend avatar in the first terminal and is initiated to the server. On the user side, a friend avatar update check request is initiated for the friend avatar in a display interface of the social application. For example, when the user logs in the social account on the first terminal 110, the first terminal 110 is triggered to send a friend avatar update check request to the server 120; or when the user clicks the head portrait of the friend in the friend list displayed in the display interface of the first terminal 110, triggering the first terminal 110 to send a friend head portrait updating check request to the server 120; or when the user refreshes the friend list displayed in the display interface of the first terminal 110, triggering the first terminal 110 to send a friend avatar update check request to the server 120; of course, this is merely an example, and the triggering of the first terminal to send the friend avatar update check request to the server according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this.

In step 330, it is determined whether there is an update to the social account's friend's avatar.

The server judges whether the head portrait of the friend in the first terminal is updated or not under the indication of the head portrait updating and checking request of the friend of the social account corresponding to the first terminal, namely, whether the head portrait of the friend displayed by the first terminal is updated or not is checked.

In the second terminal, the social network application corresponding to the social account of the second terminal is logged in, and a new head portrait of the second terminal can be uploaded to the server. For the first terminal, the new head portrait uploaded by the social account corresponding to the second terminal is the updated head portrait of the friend.

When the server receives a friend head portrait updating check request sent by a first terminal, a social account corresponding to the first terminal is obtained, and whether head portrait updating exists in a friend account corresponding to the social account is judged. For example, if the social account corresponding to the first terminal is the WeChat account, and the friends corresponding to the WeChat account are Zhang III and Li IV respectively, when Zhang III updates the head portrait of the WeChat account, a new head portrait of Zhang III is stored in the server, and then when the server receives a friend head portrait update check request sent by the WeChat account on the first terminal, the head portraits of Zhang III and Li IV on the first terminal can be first obtained, and then the comparison and judgment can be performed with the head portraits of Zhang III and Li IV stored in the server, so as to judge whether the head portrait update exists in the WeChat accounts of Zhang III and Li IV.

In step 350, if the head portrait of the friend of the social account is updated, the updated head portrait of the friend of the social account is sent to the first terminal, so as to instruct the first terminal to update the head portrait of the friend of the social account.

If the head portrait of the friend of the social account is updated, the updated head portrait of the friend of the social account is sent to the first terminal, and the updated head portrait of the friend is synchronously updated to the first terminal in this way, so that the head portrait of the second terminal can be controllably updated to the first terminal after the second terminal uploads the head portrait of the second terminal.

Through the exemplary embodiment described above, when the server receives a friend avatar update check request sent by the first terminal, the server determines whether the friend avatar of the social account is updated, and if the friend avatar of the social account is updated, the server sends the updated friend avatar of the social account to the first terminal to instruct the first terminal to update the friend avatar of the social account, so that when the user triggers the friend avatar update check request, the server updates the friend avatar of the social account corresponding to the first terminal, and ensures that the user is visible in the update process of the friend avatar of the social account, that is, in the update process of the friend avatar of the social account provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the user can see the process in which the old avatar is replaced by the new avatar, and can know the old avatar corresponding to the new avatar, that is, the user can know the social account corresponding to the new avatar, the user can know the friend identity corresponding to the new head portrait, the situation that the user cannot establish connection between the updated head portrait information and the friend account identity familiar to the user due to automatic updating of the head portrait of the social account of the friend is effectively avoided, the identification degree of the friend identity of the social account corresponding to the updated head portrait of the friend is improved, the difficulty of searching the social account corresponding to the friend by the user according to the updated head portrait of the friend is reduced, and the user experience of social application is improved.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an avatar updating method applied to a social account of a server according to another exemplary embodiment. The friend head portrait updating method applied to the social account of the server, as shown in fig. 4, may include the following steps.

In step 410, a social account avatar update request sent by the second terminal is received, where the social account avatar update request is used to instruct the server to update an avatar of a social account corresponding to the second terminal.

And the server updates the head portrait of the social account logged in by the social application in the second terminal through data interaction with the second terminal.

In the process, the server receives a social account avatar updating request sent by the second terminal, and learns the occurrence of the avatar updating process of the social account in the second terminal through the social account avatar updating request.

In step 430, the avatar data material transmitted by the second terminal is received.

The head portrait data information contains a head portrait updated by a social account corresponding to the second terminal, the server receives the head portrait data information sent by the second terminal, the server is convenient to update the head portrait of the social account corresponding to the second terminal into a new head portrait, and meanwhile, the server can also record that the head portrait of the social account corresponding to the second terminal is updated.

In step 450, the head portrait of the social account corresponding to the second terminal is updated according to the head portrait data material sent by the second terminal, and is stored in the server.

The head portrait data information sent by the second terminal can obtain the head portrait updated by the social account corresponding to the second terminal, and then the head portrait is stored in the server in a correlation mode with the social account. It can be understood that the avatar is to be a friend avatar of the social account corresponding to the first terminal, and therefore, the friend avatar of the social account in the first terminal shown in the embodiment corresponding to fig. 3 is to be updated.

The first terminal and the second terminal are relative, and relative to the friend head portrait updating process of a social account, the terminal uploading the new head portrait is the second terminal, and the terminal correspondingly updating the friend head portrait is the first terminal.

That is, for the server, the terminals performing data interaction with the server include two types, one type of terminal is a terminal uploading a new avatar to the server, i.e., a second terminal, and the other type of terminal is a terminal updating the avatar of the friend correspondingly, i.e., a first terminal.

And the corresponding first terminal and the second terminal are correspondingly changed relative to the conversion of the head portrait updating process performed by the server.

The server stores the head portrait uploaded by the second terminal through head portrait updating, and specifically stores the head portrait uploaded by the second terminal corresponding to the social account. In an exemplary embodiment, the server stores the head portrait uploaded through the head portrait data material when the head portrait update currently occurs, in addition to the old head portrait corresponding to the social account.

In another exemplary embodiment, the method for updating the friend's avatar applied to the social account of the server may further include the following steps after step 450.

And sending prompt information to the first terminal, wherein the prompt information is used for reminding the first terminal that the head portrait of the social contact account of the friend is updated, and the social contact account corresponding to the first terminal and the social contact account corresponding to the second terminal have a friend relationship.

When the social account corresponding to the second terminal updates the head portrait data information of the social account corresponding to the second terminal and uploads the updated head portrait data information to the server, however, the first terminal does not trigger the friend head portrait updating check request, and therefore the head portrait of the social account corresponding to the second terminal displayed in the first terminal is still the old head portrait.

Therefore, after the avatar of the social account corresponding to the second terminal is updated to the server through the embodiment corresponding to fig. 4, the update prompt of the avatar of the friend in the first terminal can be realized under the control of the server, so that the server is ensured to notify the first terminal of the occurrence of avatar update in time, and then the user actively requires to update the avatar of the friend of the social account corresponding to the first terminal on the premise of ensuring that the avatar of the friend of the social account corresponding to the first terminal can be visible to the user.

For example, if the social contact account is a wechat account, the prompt information sent by the server to the first terminal may be a prompt information for updating a head portrait of a friend displayed in a wechat friend circle, or may be a red corner mark displayed on a head portrait of a friend in a friend list displayed by the first terminal, so as to remind the user that the head portrait of the friend is updated.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating details of step 350 in an exemplary embodiment according to a corresponding embodiment of fig. 3. Step 350, as shown in FIG. 5, may include the following substeps.

In step 351a, when there is an update in the head portrait of the friend of the social account, a plurality of updated head portraits of the friend are determined.

The head portrait update performed by the friend of the social account corresponding to the first terminal at the terminal corresponding to the friend of the social account, that is, the second terminal, may be performed once or may be performed multiple times, for example, only one head portrait update may be performed, or multiple head portrait updates may be performed continuously. Therefore, the server stores a plurality of head portraits for the social account, and the plurality of head portraits updated by the social account are the plurality of head portraits updated by the friend in a time period relative to the update of the head portraits of the friend corresponding to the social account.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment corresponding to fig. 3, the process of determining whether the avatar of the friend of the social account is updated is a process of determining whether the avatar of the friend in the first terminal is updated.

Correspondingly, if the head portrait of the friend of the social account is updated and the server stores a plurality of head portraits for the friend, the server determines a plurality of head portraits of the friend after the head portraits are updated.

In step 353a, a final friend avatar is extracted from the plurality of friend avatars of the friend according to the time sequence.

The final head portrait of the friend refers to a head portrait uploaded by the social account of the friend at the second terminal logged in by the friend. In step 355a, the final friend avatar is sent to the first terminal to instruct the first terminal to update the final friend avatar of the friend.

And the server only updates the finally uploaded head portrait to the first terminal no matter whether the second terminal corresponding to the social account performs one or more head portrait updates.

Through the embodiment, even if the head portrait of the friend in the second terminal is uploaded for many times or even frequently, the updating process of the head portrait of the friend in the first terminal is based on the head portrait uploaded finally, namely the head portrait of the friend, and the head portrait uploaded in the middle is not updated to the first terminal, so that interference caused by invalid head portraits is avoided.

Fig. 6 is a flowchart illustrating details of step 350 shown in another exemplary embodiment in accordance with the corresponding embodiment of fig. 3. The updated friend avatars are multiple and respectively correspond to multiple friends, step 350, as shown in fig. 6, may include the following steps.

In step 351b, when the head portraits of the friends in the social account are updated, the head portraits of the friends corresponding to the updated head portraits of the friends are determined.

In step 353b, the friend avatars respectively corresponding to the updated avatars of the friends are sent to the first terminal, so as to instruct the first terminal to update the updated friend avatars of the friends.

After the server obtains the head portraits of the friends corresponding to the updated head portraits of the friends respectively, it can be understood that the head portraits of the friends are new head portraits of the friends, which are about to be updated to the first terminal, of the social account corresponding to the first terminal.

Through the exemplary embodiment, the server side is provided for the specific implementation that the head portraits of the multiple friends in the head portraits display of the first terminal are updated, so that the head portraits of the multiple friends in the first terminal can be updated under the coordination of the server.

Fig. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an update method applied to a friend's avatar of a social account of a first terminal according to an exemplary embodiment. The friend head portrait updating method applied to the social account of the first terminal, as shown in fig. 7, may include the following steps.

In step 510, a trigger signal is received, where the trigger signal is used to instruct the first terminal to send a friend avatar update check request.

The trigger signal is generated by a triggered user operation in the first terminal, for example, the user operation may be a page refresh operation for displaying a friend avatar, or the like.

The first terminal receiving the trigger signal triggers execution of an operation specified by the trigger signal, for example, the first terminal is triggered to send a friend avatar update check request of the social account to the server.

In step 530, a friend avatar update check request is sent to the server, where the friend avatar update check request is used to instruct the server to determine whether the friend avatar of the social account has an update.

After receiving a trigger signal of a user, the first terminal is triggered to send a friend avatar update check request to the server, where the friend avatar update check request may include identification information of the social account, where the identification information is used to identify identity information of the social account, and for example, the identification information may be account information of the social account.

It can be understood that the initiated friend avatar update check request can be directed at friend avatar update check of a friend; the method can also be performed for a plurality of friends or all friends, that is, the first terminal requests to perform friend head portrait update check of the plurality of friends or all friends.

In step 550, if the friend icon of the social account is updated, the updated friend icon of the social account sent by the server is received.

In step 570, the old avatar of the social account is replaced with the updated friend avatar of the social account sent by the server.

Wherein, as described in the foregoing steps, the first terminal is displaying the head portraits of the friends.

In the displayed head portraits of the friends, the updated head portraits of the social contact accounts sent by the server are used for replacing the displayed head portraits of the friends, and the whole replacement process is displayed on the first terminal, so that the replacement between the old head portraits and the updated head portraits of the friends is visible to the user, that is, the user can know the social contact accounts of the friends corresponding to the new head portraits, that is, the user can know the identities of the friends corresponding to the new head portraits, the problem that the user cannot establish the connection between the updated head portraits information and the identities of the friends familiar to the user due to the fact that the head portraits of the friends are automatically updated is effectively avoided, the identification degree of the identities of the friends of the social contact accounts corresponding to the updated head portraits of the friends is improved, the difficulty of the user in finding the social contact accounts corresponding to the friends according to the updated head portraits of the friends is reduced.

Fig. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an update method applied to a friend's avatar of a social account of a first terminal according to an exemplary embodiment. The method for updating the friend icon of the social account of the first terminal may further include the following steps before step 510.

In step 610, a prompt message sent by the server is received, where the prompt message is used to remind a friend that the social account of the friend has an update.

In step 630, a prompt is displayed.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 4, when the social account corresponding to the second terminal updates the avatar data material thereof, and uploads the updated avatar data material to the server, however, because the first terminal does not trigger the friend avatar update check request, the avatar of the social account corresponding to the second terminal displayed in the first terminal is still the old avatar. At this time, the server may send a prompt message to the first terminal, where the prompt message is used to prompt the first terminal that the head portrait of the social account of the friend of the first terminal is updated.

The first terminal displays the prompt information, so that the user can know that the head portrait of the friend of the user is updated in time according to the prompt information, and then the user triggers the first terminal to update the head portrait of the friend of the user.

Fig. 9 is a flowchart illustrating details of step 570 according to the corresponding embodiment of fig. 7. This step 570, as shown in FIG. 9, may include the following steps.

In step 571, the updated friend avatar of the social account sent by the server is used to replace the old avatar of the friend account of the social account.

In step 573, the old icons of the friend accounts of the social accounts fade away gradually, and the updated icons of the friend accounts sent by the server are displayed gradually.

In step 550 in the embodiment corresponding to fig. 7, after receiving the updated friend icon of the social account sent by the server, the old icon of the corresponding friend account is replaced. In order to ensure that the user with the updated head portrait of the friend in the first terminal can see, for the old head portrait to be disappeared and the head portrait of the friend with the updated social account to be displayed, the user can see in the whole head portrait updating process through a dynamic display effect.

Specifically, for the old avatar, a dynamic display effect in which the old avatar fades away will be performed; and executing a gradually displayed dynamic display effect aiming at the updated friend head portraits of the social account.

Through the process, in the process that the head portrait of the friend of the social account is updated from the old head portrait to the new head portrait, the old head portrait of the friend account is gradually faded out and the new head portrait is gradually displayed in the first terminal, namely, in the process of updating the head portrait of the friend of the social account provided by the embodiment of the invention, the user can see the process that the old head portrait is replaced by the new head portrait, and then the user can know the old head portrait corresponding to the new head portrait, namely, the user can know the social account corresponding to the new head portrait, namely, the user can know the identity of the friend corresponding to the new head portrait, so that the problem that the user cannot establish the connection between the updated head portrait information and the identity of the friend account familiar to the user due to the automatic updating of the head portrait of the friend account is effectively avoided, the recognition degree of the friend identity of the social account corresponding to the updated head portrait of the friend is improved, and the difficulty of searching the friend account corresponding to the user according to the updated head portrait of the friend, the user experience of the social application is improved.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating a description of details of step 570 in accordance with an exemplary embodiment.

The updated friend avatars are more than two and respectively correspond to more than two friend account numbers of the social account number corresponding to the first terminal, as shown in fig. 10, the method may include the following steps.

In step 575, the updated friend avatars of the two or more friend accounts determine corresponding old avatars in the avatar display of the first terminal.

The head portrait display of the first terminal is performed for a plurality of friend accounts, namely, the head portraits of friends are displayed in the first terminal by the plurality of friend accounts.

In the process of displaying the head portraits of the friends of the plurality of friend accounts by the first terminal, the head portraits of more than two friend accounts are updated, that is, the updated head portraits of the friends of more than two friend accounts sent by the server are received through step 550 in the corresponding embodiment of fig. 7, so that the old head portraits of the friends are determined in the head portraits display of the first terminal.

In step 577, a display order between the updated head portraits of the friend accounts is determined according to the arrangement order corresponding to the old head portraits, and the number of head portraits spaced between the old head portraits of the friend accounts and the old head portraits of the next friend accounts is determined in the display order.

It should be noted that, for the display of the head portraits of the friends in the first terminal, a certain arrangement order exists among the head portraits of the friends, and the head portraits of the friends are distributed in the display interface of the first terminal according to the certain arrangement order.

And for the friend head portrait corresponding to the updated head portrait of the friend account, the corresponding relation exists between the friend head portrait and the head portrait displayed by the first terminal, namely the old head portrait, after the corresponding old head portrait is determined through the steps, the display sequence of the friend head portrait of the friend account after the head portrait is updated is obtained according to the arrangement sequence of the old head portrait in the head portrait display, and the display sequence is matched with the arrangement sequence of the old head portrait in the head portrait display.

Further, in the display sequence, a friend avatar displayed adjacent to the friend avatar of the friend account after the avatar of the friend account is updated, that is, a friend avatar corresponding to the friend account after the avatar of the next friend account in the display sequence is updated, may be determined.

In step 578, for the updated head portrait of each friend account, determining a replacement execution time for the updated head portrait of the next friend account in the display sequence according to the number of head portraits corresponding to the updated head portrait of each friend account and the preset reading time, and obtaining the replacement execution time for the updated head portrait of each friend account corresponding to the head portrait of the friend.

And on the basis, the old head portrait corresponding to the head portrait of each friend can be obtained in the head portrait display of the first terminal.

And for two adjacent friend head portraits in the display sequence, determining the replacement execution time for the next friend head portrait in the two adjacent friend head portraits corresponding to the display sequence according to the number of head portraits spaced between the corresponding old head portraits and the preset reading time, and so on, thus obtaining the replacement execution time of the head portrait of each friend account corresponding to the friend head portrait after updating.

The subsequent friend head portrait replacement is controlled in order by determining the replacement execution time, and the time consumed by the user for reading the head portrait, namely the preset reading time, is taken into consideration, so that the user is guaranteed to clearly view each updated friend head portrait, namely, the user is guaranteed to be visible in the updating process of all friend head portraits, and the condition that the friend head portrait and the old head portrait cannot be unified in a friend account number due to simultaneous updating and replacement of too many friend head portraits in the first terminal is avoided.

In a specific implementation of an exemplary embodiment, the following may be formulated: and reading time n +1 to determine the replacement execution time, wherein n is the number of the spaced head images + 1.

For example, two friend avatars adjacent in the display order, and the number of the old avatars corresponding to the two friend avatars is 2, it can be determined according to the above formula that the friend avatars after the display order in the two friend avatars perform replacement in the 10 th second, that is, the replacement execution time is 10 seconds, and so on, so as to determine the replacement execution time of the friend avatars corresponding to each friend account after the avatar is updated.

In step 579, according to the replacement execution time of the avatar of each friend account corresponding to the updated avatar of the friend, the avatar of each social account corresponding to the updated avatar of the friend is sequentially replaced, and the replacement of the avatar of each friend corresponding to the updated avatar of all social accounts is completed.

After the replacement execution time of the head portrait of each friend account corresponding to the head portrait of the friend after being updated is determined through the steps, the replacement between the head portrait of the corresponding friend and the head portrait of the previous friend after being updated of the head portrait of the corresponding social account is executed successively according to the determined replacement execution time, the replacement of the head portrait of the corresponding friend after being updated of each friend account is further executed in sequence, and when all head portraits are replaced, the updated old head portraits are replaced by the updated head portraits of the friend in the head portrait display of the first terminal.

Through the process, a specific implementation is provided for updating the head portraits of the friends of the friend accounts, so that even if the head portraits of the friends are updated in the first terminal, the updated head portraits of the friends can be guaranteed to have very high recognition degree, and the replacement execution guarantees that all replaced head portraits of the friends and the old head portraits of the users can be unified on one friend account.

In a specific implementation of an exemplary embodiment, the avatar display in the first terminal is performed in pages. In other words, all the friend avatars are distributed in a plurality of pages to be displayed, and the friend avatars in the corresponding pages are displayed in the first terminal by switching the pages.

Fig. 10 corresponds to an implementation process corresponding to the embodiment, and is performed for each page in this scenario. In each page, if a friend avatar corresponding to the updated avatars of the plurality of friend accounts sent by the server is received, the update of the avatar of the friend in the page is realized according to the embodiment corresponding to fig. 10.

It can be understood herein that the friend avatar update performed in the present disclosure is also performed with respect to the currently displayed page.

In summary, the above-mentioned scheme is adopted to implement that the friend head portraits of each friend account in the first terminal are executed under the control of the user, so that many problems caused by automatic friend head portraits updating are avoided.

Taking a social contact application running in the first terminal as an example, and combining a specific application scene, a friend head portrait updating method of a social account is described.

Fig. 11 is a schematic application diagram illustrating a method for updating friend avatars of social accounts according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 11, for the implementation of the friend avatar update of the social account, the friend avatar update is roughly divided into three blocks, namely, the self avatar update implemented by the second terminal; secondly, the server connects the second terminal with the first terminal; and thirdly, the updated head portrait exists in the first terminal, namely the control update of the old head portrait.

The second terminal will execute step 710, enter the social application, to run the social application in the second terminal, and further implement the old avatar update of the logged-in social account, as shown in step 720 and step 730.

It should be noted that, first, the social account has a friend relationship with the social account corresponding to the first terminal, and a friend icon is displayed on the first terminal, and an old icon is displayed, as shown in step 810.

Therefore, after the server obtains the updated head portrait of the friend of the social account corresponding to the second terminal, step 740 is executed to notify the first terminal that the head portrait corresponding to the social account is updated.

The first terminal executing step 810 sends a friend avatar update check request to the server after receiving the trigger signal in step 830, and further receives a new avatar correspondingly sent by the server, that is, step 840 is executed.

Thus, when it is determined that the avatar is updated, step 850 can be performed to perform interactive display of the old and new avatars, thereby implementing the interactive operation as described above, and after the step 850 is performed, the new avatar can be displayed in the first terminal, thereby completing the update of the avatar in the first terminal.
