Description

Group message receipt updating method and device, readable storage medium and electronic equipment

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of computer technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for updating a group message receipt, a readable storage medium, and an electronic device.

Background

Most of the existing instant messaging tools (such as QQ, WeChat, Tencent and the like) support message service communication, and users can perform daily activities such as chatting, notifying and the like through the message service. The message service has the advantages of flexible form, convenience, rapidness and the like. However, since the message service has the characteristic of non-real-time performance, the state of the message in the message sending process and the processing state (for example, whether the message is read or not) of the message by the receiver cannot be known, so that in some specific instant messaging application occasions, such as important notification issued by a company, publication of product information and the like, the message sender cannot ensure that the message receiver can receive and read the sent message in time, and the development of subsequent work is delayed in a serious case. Therefore, it is important to grasp the processing status of the message timely and accurately.

Detailed Description

The following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present disclosure is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present disclosure, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.

Before describing in detail the manner in which group message receipts are generated in the related art, a description of a message center database in the related art is first provided.

In the related art, as shown in fig. 1a and 1b, the message center database includes a group member table group _ users, a group message table group _ msgs, and a group message receipt table msg _ acks. Each member record in the group members table group _ users includes: the group ID to which the member belongs (denoted gID), the member ID (denoted uID), and the message ID of the message that the member has received the last time (denoted last _ msg _ ID). Each message record in the group message table group _ msgs includes: the message ID (denoted msg _ ID), group ID (denoted gID), message sender ID (denoted sender _ uID), transmission time (denoted time), and message content (denoted msg _ content) of the message. Each of the response piece records in the group message response piece table msg _ acks includes: message receiver ID (denoted rev _ uID), group ID (denoted gID), message sender ID (denoted sender _ uID), message ID (denoted msg _ ID), and receipt identification (denoted if _ ack). The receipt identifier in each receipt record is used to indicate whether the message receiver corresponding to the message receiver ID in the receipt record sends the message receipt for the message. Illustratively, when the receipt identifier is a preset value (e.g. 1), it indicates that the message receipt for the message sent by the message receiver corresponding to the message receiver ID has been received, and the message receipt is used to characterize that the message receiver has received or read the message.

The following describes a process of generating a group message receipt in the related art. A message sender sends a message within a group within the group. When receiving the message sent by the message sender, the server sends the message to other members in the group and in the online state, and updates the group message table group _ msgs and the group message receipt table msg _ acks.

Specifically, the server adds a message record corresponding to the ID of the message sender and the message ID of the message sent by the message sender to the group _ msgs. And the server also determines the group to which the message sender belongs and the number of other members except the message sender in the group according to the ID of the message sender and the group _ users in the group member table, wherein the number of the other members is the number of the message receivers, and then adds corresponding number of receipt records in the group message receipt table msg _ acks according to the number of the message receivers. For each added receipt record, the initial value of the receipt identifier is a numerical value representing that the message receipt for the message sent by the message receiver corresponding to the message receiver ID is not received, for example, the numerical value may be 0.

In addition, after the server sends the message to the message recipient who is online, the message recipient may send a message receipt for the message to the server when receiving the message or after a certain time after receiving the message. In this way, when receiving a message receipt for the message sent by the message sender, the server updates the group member table group _ users in the message center database, that is, updates last _ msg _ ID in the member record corresponding to the member ID in the group member table group _ users, which is consistent with the ID of the message receiver, to the message ID of the message. It should be noted that the message receipt sent by the message receiver to the server may include the message ID of the message received last time by the message receiver, so that when the server receives the message receipt, the server may update the last _ msg _ ID in the group member table group _ users based on the message ID of the message received last time in the message receipt.

Meanwhile, when the server receives the message receipt sent by the message sender, the server also needs to update the receipt records corresponding to the message receiver and the message in the group message receipt table msg _ acks. Specifically, the receipt identifier in the receipt record corresponding to the message receiver and the message is updated to a preset value indicating that the message receipt for the message sent by the message receiver corresponding to the message receiver ID has been received.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 1a, the group includes 4-bit members, member 1, member 2, member 3, and member 4, respectively. Wherein member 1 acts as the message sender and member 2, member 3 and member 4 act as the message receiver. When the server sends the message A sent by the member 1 to the message receivers (the member 2, the member 3 and the member 4), the server firstly determines whether all the message receivers in the group are in the online state. As shown in fig. 1a, assume that member 2 and member 3 are online and member 4 is offline, so the server first sends message a to member 2 and member 3, and after member 4 is online, sends message a to member 4. At the same time, the server adds three receipt records (not shown in FIG. 1 a) to the group message receipt table msg _ acks.

As shown in fig. 1b, when the server receives the message receipt for the message a sent by the members 2 and 3, the message ID of the message a is used as last _ msg _ ID in the member record corresponding to the member 2 and last _ msg _ ID in the member record corresponding to the member 3. Meanwhile, the server updates the receipt identifier in the receipt record corresponding to the member 2 and the message a in the group message receipt table msg _ acks from an initial value (e.g. 0) to a preset value (e.g. 1), and updates the receipt identifier in the receipt record corresponding to the member 3 and the message a from an initial value (e.g. 0) to a preset value (e.g. 1). It should be noted that, since the message receipt for the message a by the member 4 is not received, the receipt identifier in the receipt record corresponding to the member 4 and the message a is still the initial value. It should be noted that the target message mentioned below is a message that the message recipient sends a message receipt.

Thus, when the number of group members included in the group is large, if each piece of information is sent in the group, a large number of response piece records are added to the group message response piece table msg _ acks, so that the number of response piece records in the group message response piece table msg _ acks is large, which results in time consumption when reading the response piece records, and the group message response piece table msg _ acks also occupies a large storage space of the server, thereby increasing the storage pressure of the server.

In view of this, the present disclosure provides a method, an apparatus, a readable storage medium, and an electronic device for updating a group message receipt to reduce the number of receipt records in a group message receipt table, improve the efficiency of reading the receipt records, and relieve the storage pressure of a server.

A possible implementation scenario of the present disclosure is first explained. As shown in fig. 2, the implementation scenario may include a first electronic device 11 (illustrated as a laptop computer in fig. 2) as a message sender, a second electronic device 12 (illustrated as a desktop computer in fig. 2) as a message receiver, and a server 13. The first electronic device 11 and the second electronic device 12 are respectively connected to the server 13 in a communication manner. In the present disclosure, the update of the group message receipt is realized through the communication between the first electronic device 11 and the second electronic device 12 and the server 13, and the update method of the group message receipt provided by the present disclosure will be described in detail below.

FIG. 3 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for updating a group message receipt in accordance with an exemplary embodiment. The method may be applied to the server in fig. 2. As shown in fig. 3, the method may include steps 31 to 34.

In step 31, in response to receiving the message receipt for the target message sent by the message recipient, the receipt record corresponding to the target message and the message recipient in the group message receipt table is updated. Wherein each receipt record in the group message receipt table comprises: the message receiving terminal comprises a message ID, a message receiving terminal ID, a message sending terminal ID and a receipt identification, wherein the receipt identification indicates that the message receipt sent by the message receiving terminal corresponding to the message receiving terminal ID is received when the receipt identification is a preset value.

In the disclosure, when receiving a message receipt for a target message sent by a message receiver, a server updates a receipt record corresponding to the target message and the message receiver in a group message receipt table. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 1b, when receiving the message receipt for the target message sent by the member 2, the server updates the receipt identifier in the receipt record corresponding to the member 2 and the target message in the group message receipt table msg _ acks, i.e., updates the receipt identifier from an initial value (e.g., 0) to a preset value (e.g., 1) to characterize that the message receipt sent by the member 2 has been received.

In step 32, the target receipt record corresponding to the target message in the group message receipt summary table is updated based on the message recipient ID that sent the message receipt for the target message. The target receipt record comprises the message ID of the target message, the total message receipt amount corresponding to the target message, the number of received message receipts aiming at the target message and the ID set of the message receiving party sending the message receipts aiming at the target message.

In the present disclosure, in order to reduce the number of receipt records in the group message receipt table msg _ acks while still enabling the recording and storage of message receipts, the inventors have newly added a group message receipt summary table mag _ total _ ack in the message center database. As shown in fig. 4, each receipt record in the group message receipt total table mag _ total _ ack includes a message ID (denoted as msg _ ID), a total number of message receipts (total) corresponding to the message, a number of received message receipts for the message (denoted as has _ read _ num), and a set of message recipient IDs (denoted as has _ read _ list) that sent the message receipts for the message. It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 4, each receipt record in the group message receipt total table mag _ total _ ack may include, in addition to the above, a message receipt total list (denoted as total _ list) corresponding to the message, an update time (denoted as update _ time), and the like according to actual requirements.

In this way, the server may update the target receipt record corresponding to the target message in the group message receipt summary table based on the message recipient ID that sent the message receipt for the target message. Specifically, the number of received message receipts for the target message (has _ read _ num in fig. 4) and the set of message receiver IDs for which message receipts for the target message have been sent (has _ read _ list in fig. 4) in the target receipt record are updated according to the message receiver IDs for which message receipts for the target message have been sent.

In step 33, the response piece record corresponding to each message recipient ID in the message recipient ID set in the target response piece record is deleted from the response piece records corresponding to the target message in the group message response piece table.

Since the message recipient ID that has transmitted the message receipt for the target message is updated to the set of message recipient IDs in the target receipt record that have transmitted the message receipt for the target message in step 32, in order to reduce the number of receipt records in the group message receipt table msg _ acks and relieve the storage pressure of the server, in the present disclosure, the receipt records corresponding to each message recipient ID in the set of message recipient IDs in the target receipt record may be deleted from the receipt records in the group message receipt table that correspond to the target message.

For example, assuming that both member 2 and member 3 have sent a message receipt for the target message, the server may add the member 2ID and the member 3ID to the set of message recipient IDs in the target receipt record that sent the message receipt for the target message, and delete the receipt record corresponding to each message recipient ID in the set of message recipient IDs from the receipt record corresponding to the target message in the group message receipt table. For example, if the message recipient ID set includes only member 2ID and member 3ID, the receipt record corresponding to member 2ID and the receipt record corresponding to member 3ID are deleted.

In step 34, the target response piece record is sent to the message sender in response to the response piece record acquisition instruction sent by the message sender receiving the target message.

For example, when receiving the receipt record acquisition instruction sent by the member 1, the server sends the target receipt record to the member 1, so that the member 1 knows the status of the target message sent by the member 1, for example, which members in the group have received the message, how many members have not received the target message, and so on.

In view of the possibility that the efficiency of updating the group message receipt may be affected if the server updates the group message receipt and sends the target receipt record to the message sender at the same time, in the present disclosure, the group message receipt may be updated at regular times to avoid simultaneously updating the group message receipt and sending the target receipt record to the message sender. Illustratively, the group message receipt may be set to be updated 23:00 a day.

In addition, in the embodiment of setting the update time, when the message receiver ID that sent the message receipt for the target message is searched in the group message receipt table, and the target receipt record corresponding to the target message in the group message receipt total table is updated according to the searched message receiver ID, the update efficiency is low because the search for the receipt records in the group message receipt table is large in number and time-consuming. Thus, in the present disclosure, the set of message recipient IDs in the target response piece record may be updated by an array of message recipient IDs.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, step 32 in fig. 3 may specifically include step 321.

In step 321, every time the preset updating time is reached, updating the message recipient ID set in the target receipt record and the number of received message receipts for the target message according to the message recipient ID corresponding to the target message recorded in the message recipient ID array. The ID array of the message receiver records the ID of the message receiver which sends the message receipt aiming at each message between the current updating time and the last updating time.

In the present disclosure, the message receiver ID array records the message receiver ID of the message receipt transmitted for each message between the current update time and the last update time, and thus it is understood that the message receiver ID array changes according to the change of the message receiver ID of the message receipt transmitted for the message. That is, in the case of using the message recipient ID array, the message recipient ID array needs to be updated.

In one possible approach, in response to receiving a message receipt sent by a message recipient for a target message, a message recipient ID corresponding to the target message in a message recipient ID array is updated according to the message recipient ID corresponding to the message recipient. Illustratively, the server, upon receiving a message receipt for the target message sent by member 2, adds the member 2ID to the message recipient ID in the array of message recipient IDs corresponding to the target message.

In another possible mode, when the preset updating time is reached, according to the receipt record with the receipt identification being the preset value in the receipt records corresponding to the target message in the group message receipt table, the message receiver ID corresponding to the target message in the message receiver ID array is updated. In this manner, the message recipient ID array is updated every preset update time. Illustratively, the preset update time is 23:00 of each day, and it is assumed that within the time period from 23:00 of the previous day to 23:00 of today, the server only receives the message receipts of the member 2 and the member 3 for the target message, and then the receipt identifiers in the receipt records corresponding to the target message in the group message receipt table are updated to the preset values. Thus, when the user is 23:00 today, the server adds the member 2ID and the member 3ID to the message receiver ID corresponding to the target message in the message receiver ID array according to the receipt record with the receipt identification being the preset value in the receipt record corresponding to the target message in the group message receipt table.

For example, assume that the message recipient ID array is { msgAID: [ message receiver 2ID, message receiver 3ID ], msgBID: [ message receiver 4ID, message receiver 5ID ], … … }, the target message being message A sent by member 1. When the preset update time is reached, the server adds the message receiver 2ID and the message receiver 3ID which have sent the message A to the message receiver ID set in the target receipt record, and increases the number of the message receipts which have received the message A for the target message by 2.

In this way, since the message receiver ID array only records the message receiver ID of the message receipt for each message between the current update time and the last update time, the data amount in the message receiver ID array is much smaller than the number of receipt records in the group message receipt table, and the message receiver ID set in the target receipt record and the number of received message receipts for the target message are updated by using the message receiver ID corresponding to the target message recorded in the message receiver ID, so that the update efficiency can be improved.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the message recipient ID array includes the message recipient ID for the target message for which the message receipt for the target message was sent, in one possible implementation, the server may also delete the receipt record corresponding to the target message, the message recipient ID for which the message receipt for the target message was sent, based on the message recipient ID array. Illustratively, continuing with the example above, the receipt records corresponding to message a, member 2, and the receipt records corresponding to message a, member 3 are deleted from the group message receipt table.

As shown in fig. 5, after step 33, the method may further include step 35.

In step 35, the record in the message recipient ID array corresponding to the target message is deleted.

In order to ensure that only the message receiver ID for which the message receipt for the message is sent for each message between the current update time and the last update time is recorded in the message receiver ID array, after the step of deleting the receipt record corresponding to each message receiver ID in the message receiver ID set from the receipt records corresponding to the target message in the group message receipt table, the record corresponding to the target message in the message receiver ID array may also be deleted to reduce the data amount in the message receiver ID array as much as possible.

In view of the fact that the group message receipt summary table also stores the receipt records of all messages, and the number of the receipt records is relatively large, in order to enable the server to update the relevant data more quickly, in the present disclosure, before the group message receipt summary table is updated, a receipt record list may be generated based on the group message receipt summary table. Wherein the receipt record list initially includes target receipt records corresponding to the target messages in the group message receipt summary table.

In the case of generating the receipt record list, the specific implementation of step 321 in fig. 5 may include, but is not limited to, the following two ways.

As shown in fig. 6, in the first manner, step 321 may specifically include step 3211 and step 3212.

In step 3211, the target receipt record corresponding to the target message in the receipt record list is updated according to the message recipient ID corresponding to the target message recorded in the message recipient ID array. The receipt record list initially includes a target receipt record corresponding to the target message in the group message receipt summary table.

The group message receipt summary table needs to be stored in the server, and the receipt record list does not need to be stored in the server, so that for the relevant records of each message recorded in the receipt record list according to the present disclosure, after the server completes the current update of the group message receipt for the message, the relevant records of the message can be deleted, so as to reduce the data amount.

For example, assuming a message recipient ID array as described above, the list of response piece records may be: [ { magAID: xxxxxxxx, total: 3, has _ read _ num: 0, has _ read _ list: [] { magBID: xxxxxx, total: 6, has _ read _ num: 1, has _ read _ list: [ member 5ID ] },

… … ], updating the target receipt record corresponding to the target message in the receipt record list according to the message recipient ID corresponding to the target message recorded in the message recipient ID array, that is, adding the message recipient IDs (member 2ID and member 3ID) corresponding to the message a recorded in the message recipient ID array to the has _ read _ list in the receipt record list corresponding to the message a, and updating the has _ read _ num in the target receipt record from the initial value of 0 to 2, where the updated receipt record list is: [ { magAID: xxxxxxxx, total: 3, has _ read _ num: 2, has _ read _ list: [ member 2ID, member 3ID ] }, { magBID: xxxxxx, total: 6, has _ read _ num: 1, has _ read _ list: [ Member 5ID ] }, … … ].

It should be noted that, if the receipt record corresponding to each message recipient ID in the message recipient ID set in the target receipt record cannot be successfully deleted in the receipt record corresponding to the target message in the group message receipt table after the last update, in the above embodiment that the message recipient ID array is updated every preset update time, the updated message recipient ID array may include the message recipient ID that sent the message receipt for the target message before the last update time, in addition to the message recipient ID that sent the message receipt for the target message between the current update time and the last update time. In this way, when the receipt record list is updated with the array of message recipient IDs, the set of message recipient IDs in the target receipt record corresponding to the target message in the receipt record list may be caused to include duplicate message recipient IDs. Therefore, in the disclosure, after the target receipt record corresponding to the target message in the receipt record list is updated, a deduplication operation may also be performed on the message recipient ID set in the target receipt record, and the present disclosure does not limit the specific implementation manner of deduplication.

In step 3212, the set of message recipient IDs in the target receipt record in the group message receipt summary table and the number of message receipts that have been received for the target message are replaced with the set of message recipient IDs in the target receipt record in the receipt record list and the number of message receipts that have been received for the target message, respectively.

After the target receipt record corresponding to the target message in the receipt record list is updated, the message recipient ID for which the message receipt for the target message has been sent before the current time is already contained in the target receipt record corresponding to the target message in the receipt record list, so that the message recipient ID set in the target receipt record corresponding to the target message in the receipt record list and the number of received message receipts for the target message can be respectively replaced by the message recipient ID set in the target receipt record and the number of received message receipts for the target message in the group message receipt total table, so as to update the target receipt record corresponding to the target message in the group message receipt total table.

By adopting the technical scheme, firstly, the target receipt record corresponding to the target message in the receipt record list is updated according to the message receiver ID corresponding to the target message recorded in the message receiver ID array, and then the target receipt record in the group message receipt general list is updated according to the target receipt record in the receipt record list. Therefore, due to the fact that the data volume in the ID array of the message receiver and the data volume in the receipt record list are small, the server can conveniently inquire the related information needing to be updated in the ID array of the message receiver and the receipt record list in the updating process, and the updating efficiency can be improved.

As shown in fig. 7, in the second manner, the step 321 may specifically include steps 3213 to 3215.

In step 3213(3211), the target receipt record corresponding to the target message in the receipt record list is updated according to the message recipient ID corresponding to the target message recorded in the message recipient ID array. The receipt record list initially includes a target receipt record corresponding to the target message in the group message receipt summary table.

In step 3214, the message recipient ID recorded in the message recipient ID array that corresponds to the target message is replaced with the set of message recipient IDs in the target response piece record in the response piece record list.

As described above, the message recipient ID array only records the message recipient IDs for each message for which the message receipt for the message is sent between the current update time and the last update time, and the message recipient ID set in the target receipt record in the receipt record list includes all the message recipient IDs for which the message receipt for the target message has been sent before the current time, that is, the number of message recipient IDs included in the message recipient ID set in the target receipt record in the receipt record list is greater than the number of message recipient IDs included in the message recipient ID array for which the message receipt for the target message is sent. Thus, in the present disclosure, a message recipient ID corresponding to the target message recorded in the message recipient ID array may be replaced with a set of message recipient IDs in the target response piece record in the response piece record list, such that all message recipient IDs for which a message response piece for the target message has been sent prior to the current time are included in the replaced message recipient ID array.

In step 3215, the target receipt record in the group message receipt summary table is updated according to the message recipient ID corresponding to the target message recorded in the array of message recipient IDs.

As shown above, after step 3214, the message recipient ID array includes all message recipient IDs that have sent the message receipt for the target message before the current time, and the server may update the target receipt record in the group message receipt list according to the message recipient ID corresponding to the target message recorded in the message recipient ID array.

Accordingly, as shown in fig. 7, step 33 in fig. 3 may specifically include step 331.

In step 331, the receipt record corresponding to the message recipient ID corresponding to the target message recorded in the message recipient ID array is deleted from the receipt records corresponding to the target message in the group message receipt table.

As indicated above, after step 3214, the array of message recipient IDs includes all message recipient IDs for which a message receipt for the target message has been sent before the current time, and to reduce the number of receipt records in the group message receipt table, the relevant information in the target receipt record that has been updated into the group message receipt summary table may be deleted from the group message receipt table. Illustratively, the receipt record corresponding to the message recipient ID corresponding to the target message recorded in the message recipient ID array is deleted.

By adopting the technical scheme, after the target receipt record in the receipt record list is updated, the message receiver ID set in the target receipt record is used for replacing the message receiver ID corresponding to the target message recorded in the message receiver ID array, the message receiver ID array is used for updating the target receipt record in the group message receipt general list, and the receipt record corresponding to the message receiver ID corresponding to the target message recorded in the message receiver ID array is deleted, so that the updating rate is further improved.

In addition, because the data volume in the receipt record list is less than the number of receipt records in the message receipt total table, the target receipt record required to be sent to the message sender is searched in the receipt record list, compared with the target receipt record required to be sent to the message sender is searched in the message receipt total table, and the searching time can be greatly shortened. And, normally, the message sender can only obtain the receipt record of the message sent by itself, so in this disclosure, the receipt record list may further include the message sender ID of the target message. Wherein, the server can determine the message sender ID of the target message ID according to the target message ID and the group message receipt table.

Therefore, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, step 34 in fig. 3 may specifically include step 341.

In step 341, the message sender ID of the target message and the target receipt record corresponding to the target message are obtained from the receipt record list, and the obtained target receipt record is sent to the message sender corresponding to the obtained message sender ID.

By adopting the technical scheme, the ID of the message sender of the target message and the target receipt record corresponding to the target message are obtained from the receipt record list, and the target receipt record is sent to the message sender corresponding to the obtained ID of the message sender, so that the searching time is greatly shortened, and the updating efficiency of the group message receipt is further improved.

After the target receipt record is sent to the message sender corresponding to the acquired message sender ID, the target receipt record and the message sender ID of the target message in the receipt record list can be deleted. For example, assuming that the target message is message a, and member 1 in fig. 1 is the message sender of the message a, after the server sends the target receipt record corresponding to the target message to member 1, the server may delete the target receipt record and member 1ID in the receipt record list to reduce the amount of data in the receipt record list.

In addition, in the related art, the message receiver usually sends the message receipt to the server in a batch manner, or sends the message receipt to the server in a polling manner. In the case of sending message receipt to the server in batch, the message receiver sends a message receipt for each of the N messages to the server once every time it receives N (N is an integer greater than 1) messages, but if the message receiver receives N-1 messages and does not receive any message for a long time, the message receipt for each of the N-1 messages will be overstocked. In the case of sending a message receipt to the server in a polling manner, the message receiver will send the message receipt at intervals of T, but if the message receiver does not receive the message within the time interval T, the message receipt sent this time is an empty receipt without any data, that is, the message receipt sent this time is an invalid receipt.

In order to solve the above problems in the related art, the present disclosure also provides an updating method applied to a group message receipt of a message recipient. As shown in fig. 8, the method may include steps 81 to 82.

In step 81, it is determined whether a new message has been received within a preset time period since the last message receipt was sent.

In step 82, if it is determined that the new message is received and the number of the received new messages does not reach the preset number, a message receipt for each new message is sent to the server at the end of the preset duration, or if it is determined that the new message is received and the number of the received new messages reaches the preset number before the end of the preset duration, a message receipt for each new message is sent to the server, so that the server receives the message receipt, and updates the group message receipt list and the group message receipt list according to the above-described updating method of the group message receipt, with each new message being used as a target message.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 9, the process of the message receiver sending a message receipt for each new message to the server is as follows:

in step 91, when the message receipt was last sent, the message reception flag is initialized: revNum is 0, and the timer time is reset to 0.

In step 92, it is determined whether a new message has been received. If a new message is received, step 93 is executed, otherwise step 92 is repeatedly executed.

In step 93, revNum is incremented by 1 and it is determined whether revNum is equal to N. If N, go to step 95, otherwise go to step 94.

In step 94, it is determined whether the timer time reaches T, if yes, step 95 is executed, otherwise, step 92 is returned to.

In step 95, a message receipt for each new message is sent to the server.

Under the condition of sending the message receipt to the server in a batch mode, due to the fact that the time limit is added, even if the preset number of new messages are not received, the message receipt aiming at each new message is still sent to the server when the preset time is over, and therefore the problem that the message receipt is overstocked can be solved.

In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 10, the process of the message receiver sending the message receipt for each new message to the server is as follows:

in step 101, the timer time is reset to 0 at the last time the message receipt was sent.

In step 102, it is determined whether a new message has been received. If the information is received, step 103 is executed, otherwise step 102 is executed repeatedly.

In step 103, it is determined whether the timer time reaches T, if yes, step 104 is executed, otherwise, step 102 is returned to.

In step 104, a message receipt for each new message is sent to the server.

Under the condition of sending the message receipt to the server in a polling mode, because the step of detecting whether a new message is received is added, if the new message is not received within the preset time length since the message receipt is sent last time, the message receipt cannot be sent to the server when the preset time length is over. In this way, the message recipient can be prevented from sending invalid message receipts.

By adopting the scheme, the message receiver determines that the new message is received within the preset time length since the message receipt is sent last time and the number of the received new messages does not reach the preset number, the message receipt aiming at each new message is sent to the server when the preset time length is ended, or the message receipt aiming at each new message is sent to the server if the new message is determined to be received and the number of the received new messages reaches the preset number before the preset time length is ended, so that the problem that the message receipt is overstocked in the related technology and the problem that the receiver sends invalid message receipt can be avoided.

In addition, the inventor also finds that, in the related art, a message sender typically polls the server at regular intervals to obtain a receipt record, and if all messages sent by the message sender are messages that have been completed and no new message is sent within a certain time, the receipt record obtained by the message sender to the server again is a receipt record that is repeated with the last obtained receipt record, or an empty receipt record. In this case, the retrieved response piece record is an invalid response piece record.

In order to avoid the message sender acquiring an invalid receipt record, the present disclosure also provides an updating method applied to the group message receipt of the message sender. As shown in fig. 11, the method may include the following steps.

In step 111, a response piece record fetch instruction is generated. The receipt record obtaining instruction is used for obtaining a receipt record of at least one message sent by a message sender, wherein the at least one message is a message of which all the receipt is not finished.

It should be noted that the message whose receipt is not completed all the time refers to the message whose number of received message receipts for the message is less than the total number of message receipts corresponding to the message in the last obtained receipt record.

The manner of generating the receipt record obtaining instruction may include, but is not limited to, the following two manners. In the first manner, the receipt record acquisition instruction is periodically generated at a preset cycle. In this way, before generating a receipt record acquisition instruction each time, a message sender first determines whether a message with not all receipts completed yet exists according to a last-obtained receipt record, and if so, periodically generates a receipt record acquisition instruction according to a preset period. If the message that all the receipt is not finished is determined to be absent, whether a new message is sent again in the time period of the last receipt record acquisition instruction and the current receipt record acquisition instruction is generated is further determined, if the new message is sent, the receipt record acquisition instruction is periodically generated according to a preset period, and otherwise, the receipt record acquisition instruction is not generated.

In the second mode, when detecting an operation of opening a group by a user, a message sender determines whether a time interval between the time of the group opening operation and the time of the last group opening operation is greater than a preset time interval, and if the time interval is greater than the preset time interval, a receipt record acquisition instruction is generated. Therefore, the message receiver can be prevented from repeatedly acquiring the receipt records of the same group, and the message sender can be prevented from acquiring invalid receipt records.

In step 112, a receipt record obtaining instruction is sent to the server, so that the server returns the target receipt record corresponding to each message by using each message as a target message according to the above-described group message receipt updating method.

In step 113, the target response piece record sent by the server is received.

By adopting the technical scheme, the message sender generates the receipt record acquisition instruction when determining that the message with not all the receipts is finished so as to acquire the target receipt record sent by the server, so that the message sender can be prevented from acquiring invalid receipt records, the workload of the message sender for generating the receipt record acquisition instruction can be reduced, and the times of reading the target receipt record by the server are reduced.

Based on the same inventive concept, the disclosure also provides an updating device of the group message receipt applied to the server.
