The following briefly introduces the design concept of the embodiments of the present application:

in the related art, a user may find a group chat through a search, enter the group chat through a group chat entrance recommended by the system, and may build the group chat by himself or herself. Referring to fig. 1A to 1F, which are schematic views illustrating several methods for entering group chat in the related art, the following details are provided:

fig. 1A is a schematic diagram illustrating a method for discovering group chat through search in the related art. The user searches for the relevant user or group by searching for "X photo society". The interface S101 shown in fig. 1A is a schematic diagram of searching through the instant messaging software a, and in the interface S101, users who find 3 nicknames that include "X-channel news service", head images and personal introduction information of the users, and the like are displayed, and groups that find 3 group names that include "X-channel news service", group names and group introduction information of the groups, and the like are also displayed. The user can add friends by clicking the add button on the right side and can also join the group chat by clicking the join button.

Fig. 1B is a schematic diagram illustrating another method for discovering group chat through search in the related art. For example, a user searches for "X photo news agency" to find a related group, or post. The interface S102 is a schematic diagram of searching through the instant messaging software B. The interface is similar to the interface S101, and displays the searched groups with 3 names including "X photo society", the head portrait and group introduction information of each group, and also displays the searched groups with 1 group name "X photo society", the head portrait and group introduction information, and the like. In addition, two posts related to "X photo society" are also displayed. The user can add friends by clicking the add button on the right side and can also join the group chat by clicking the join button. The group chat portal in the interface is in the form of a card, for example, by clicking the card of the group "voice X society", the user can jump to the group chat interface shown in interface S103, and chat messages among group members in the voice X society are displayed. However, the method of discovering a group chat by searching as illustrated in fig. 1A and 1B is costly.

Fig. 1C is a schematic diagram illustrating a method for entering a group chat through a group chat portal recommended by the system in the related art. The interface S111 is a schematic diagram for finding a group chat portal through the instant messaging software C, and when the user opens the instant messaging software C, the finding page shown in the interface S111 can be displayed, in which a plurality of keywords, such as recommendations, latest, sandburg, beauty girls, XX games and the like shown in the figure, are displayed, and a plurality of group chat portals recommended by the system are also displayed, and information of group lengths and the like are also displayed at the group chat portals. For example, when the user clicks to join the "Senso Fish bay" group, the interface S112 shown on the right side is displayed, the detailed description of the group and the family leader is shown in the interface S112, and the user can join the group by clicking the "apply for join" button at the bottom.

As shown in fig. 1D, which is a schematic view of another method for entering a group chat through a group chat portal recommended by a system in the related art, an interface S113 is a schematic view for finding the group chat portal through instant messaging software D, after the user opens the instant messaging software D, the interface shown in the interface S114 can be displayed, and the user can join the group chat by clicking any one of the group chat portals displayed in the recommended area.

However, the above-listed systems recommend this approach, and although many applications will have various groups of aggregated entries, such entries are relatively static and lack freshness when the user enters. It is difficult to continue the user click into the group chat.

Referring to fig. 3, it is a flowchart of an implementation of a group control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, applied to a client, and the specific implementation flow of the method is as follows:

s31: responding to a trigger operation of a target object for a group chat matching interface, displaying the group chat matching interface, wherein a group chat inlet of a group to be displayed is displayed in the group chat matching interface, and a first multimedia content is displayed on the group chat inlet and used for identifying that the group chat inlet is in a closed state;

the group to be shown may be a specific one, such as a certain target group, and the group chat portal is also specific to the target group, for example, a soul trampoline group chat. In addition, the group to be presented may also be a general finger, and at this time, the group chat portal of the group to be presented may be a portal for all groups, for example, only one group chat portal is provided in the group chat matching interface. When a group is selected by the target object, the group chat entrance in the group chat matching interface presents the state of the group.

In addition, it should be noted that, for an application, a target object may refer to an account number when a user logs in the application. For example, the account currently logged in to a certain application is X, and at this time, no matter whether the user a triggers an operation through the account X or the user B triggers an operation through the account X, the application defaults to be an operation triggered by the target object.

In an optional implementation manner, besides the group chat entries of the groups to be shown, the group chat matching interface also displays the matched alternative groups and the group chat entries corresponding to the alternative groups.

As shown in fig. 4, an interface S401 is a group chat matching interface in the embodiment of the present application. For example, when the user a opens the expansion module for matching strangers to chat in the instant messaging software a, the client responds to the triggering operation of the user a on the group chat matching interface, and displays the interface S401. A group chat portal, i.e. an alternative group, shown in dashed box S41 of interface S401. In the interface S401, a total of 12 candidate groups and their group chat entries are displayed in the current group chat matching interface, where the candidate groups are, for example: the method comprises the following steps of # gust, # you good in # seven months, # one person songs, # fat-reducing fun, # oly to the daily, # time, # open-study syndrome, # english horn, # expression package reaching person, # quadratic fan, # study to make me happy, # eat melon. The group chat portals of these alternative groups are in turn played in interface S401. It should be noted that the group chat topics of these alternative groups can be directly displayed in the interface S401 shown in fig. 4, that is, "ancient wind", "hello by july", and the like shown in the figure are all the group chat topics of the alternative groups. Before the user enters the alternative groups, the group to be shown which the user wants to join can be selected based on the group chat topics, and the user can enter the chat room of a certain alternative group by clicking the group chat entrance of the alternative group to chat with the group members in the alternative group. In the embodiment of the application, the group chat matching interface can bear the conventional functions in a normal state and match the alternative groups.

In addition, the group chat matching interface in the embodiment of the application may further display a group chat portal of the group to be displayed, when the group to be displayed is opened within a limited time, the group chat portal of the group to be displayed needs to be displayed at the display position determined in the group chat matching interface when the open time of the group to be displayed is reached, and the first multimedia content is displayed on the group chat portal.

Fig. 4 shows an interface S402, which is a schematic diagram of another group chat matching interface in the embodiment of the present application. The dashed box S42 is the group chat entrance of the group to be shown, and the first multimedia content is the door picture in the figure. The door is in a closed state, which means that the group chat entrance of the group to be shown is in a closed state.

It should be noted that the multimedia content in the embodiment of the present application may be animation, pictures, videos, etc., and hereinafter, the description is mainly given by taking an icon as an example, for example, as shown in S42, where a door is shown as an icon style.

In the embodiment of the application, the opening time of the group to be displayed is not fixed, the opening time of the group to be displayed may be different in different time periods, and in addition, the display positions of the group chat entrances of the group to be displayed in the group chat matching interface in different time periods may also be different, so that the display of the group chat entrances is flexible and various, and the freshness is improved. For example, a group chat portal to be presented daily is open at irregular times.

For example, as shown in fig. 5A, the door is located at different nights each day, and the locations of the group chat portals in the two group chat matching interfaces shown in fig. 5A are different. The multimedia content presented at the group chat portal is here an icon of a door, but also in other forms, such as windows, bridges, railings, etc. The description will be given below by taking a door as an example. In addition, the opening time of the door may also be different, for example, 9:00 on monday night, 8:00 on tuesday night, 10:00 on wednesday night, etc.

Note that, in addition to the difference in the display position and the opening time of the door as exemplified in the above embodiment, the door icon may be changed. For example, different icons are provided on specific festivals. As shown in fig. 5B, the icon of the gate in the group chat matching interface is heart-shaped, so that the gate of the icon style can be displayed in the valentine section, and the gate in fig. 5A is a general gate. In addition, it is also possible to display a hexagonal door as shown in fig. 5B at christmas time, and a snowflake pattern inside the hexagon, so that the door of the icon style can be displayed at a christmas time period, etc.

In above-mentioned embodiment, the time and the position that every day door was opened are unset, can attract the user to go to seek and discover, promote user experience, increase user's viscidity to the door can operate according to the festival, and different festivals set up different icons, increase the interest.

The display position and the opening time of the door can be preset by the server and are issued to the client. The door icons and the like can also be configured in advance by the server and sent to the client together, for example, the icons of different holiday doors are different.

For example, adding location information and an icon url (Uniform Resource Locator) into configuration information of a group to be presented (hereinafter also referred to as gate chat), displaying a gate only when configuration pull is successful and icon download is good locally, wherein configuration addition items are as follows:

x and y in pos correspond to the position of the door on the screen, when the door is displayed, a corresponding value needs to be set according to the value, and meanwhile, an icon of the door is set to be a picture corresponding to icon _ url. When different icons are set in the festival, the icon _ url value in the listed configuration information is changed.

It should be noted that the pos in the embodiment of the present application is referred to by using a specific device, for example, the instant messaging software a is labeled by using a standard of 6p, and if the instant messaging software a is installed on terminal devices of different models, the display position of the group chat portal of the group to be displayed in the group chat matching interface can be determined by calculating a corresponding value with reference to 6 p.

Assuming that 9:00 pm is the opening time of the group to be displayed, the system may push a door at 9:00 pm according to the group chat matching interface where the user is currently located, and display the door at a display position determined according to x and y in pos in the group chat matching interface, for example, interface S402 in fig. 4.

S32: responding to an entrance opening operation triggered by the group chat entrance, and displaying a group entering verification interface, wherein second multimedia content and a group entering verification control are displayed on the group entering verification interface, and the second multimedia content is used for identifying that the group chat entrance is in an open state;

s33: and responding to the target operation executed aiming at the group entering verification control, and displaying the chat interface of the group to be displayed when the verification of the target object is confirmed to be passed.

In this embodiment of the application, an entrance opening operation for the group chat entrance is preset, and a style of the first multimedia content may be referred to when setting is performed, for example, when an icon of the group chat entrance is a door, the entrance opening operation is set as a tapping operation, for example, the door is opened by tapping 3 times, and when the door is closed, the group chat entrance is in a closed state; if the icon of the group chat entrance is a window, the entrance opening operation is set as long-press operation, for example, long-press 1 second for opening the window, and when the window is closed, the group chat entrance is in a closed state; if the icon of the group chat portal is a flagpole, the portal opening operation may be set as a sliding operation, for example, sliding a flag according to a preset gesture, and when the flag is not raised, indicating that the group chat portal is in a closed state.

Hereinafter, a door is exemplified.

Referring to fig. 6A, for example, after the user continuously clicks the door on the screen three times by a single finger to tap the door 3 times, the group entry verification interface including the group entry verification control may be displayed, and the second multimedia content is also displayed on the group entry verification interface S61, which indicates that the group chat portal of the group to be displayed is in an open state. The user can execute target operation through the group entering verification control, for example, the user can simply confirm group entering and can also input a password, the user can enter group chat only after the password is input correctly, and a chat interface of a group to be displayed is displayed. In the embodiment of the present application, the user may obtain the password in a variety of ways in advance, and the specific way will be described in detail below. In order to increase ceremony, the theme conforming to the group to be displayed listed in the embodiment of the present application is soul jumping, two verification methods are listed in the embodiment of the present application, one is a rhythm password, the other is a voice password, the group entering verification control parts corresponding to the two different verification methods are different, and detailed descriptions are respectively provided below:

for the rhythm password, the rhythm password set in the application is four numbers, but the user does not directly input the number password, but needs to manually click the number of times of the number corresponding to the password, specifically: according to the received rhythm password point, the user clicks a drum on the group entry verification interface S61 shown in FIG. 6B according to the rhythm, wherein the drum is the group entry verification control, and the knocking is the target operation. For example, according to the rhythm password shown in the middle between the interface S61 and the interface S62 in fig. 6B, the user taps the drum 1 time for the first round, 3 times for the second round, 2 times for the third round, and 2 times for the fourth round. The system will determine the time interval between each tap by the user and when the tap time interval exceeds 0.8S, it is assumed that only one valid tap has been made, illuminating a point, i.e., the first point in dashed box S63 is illuminated, and appears black. And after all the lights are lighted, the system judges whether the password input by the user is correct or not and returns the verification result to the client for processing.

When the client processes the verification result, if the verification result indicates that the password is correct, as shown in an interface S64 in fig. 6C, at this time, the client enters a gate group chat spirit jumping, and displays an interface S65 shown in fig. 6C, which is a chat interface of a group to be displayed in the embodiment of the present application; if the password is wrong, it is marked red (four dots are shown as gray in fig. 6D), and the entered password is automatically cleared after 1s, as shown in fig. 6D. After the password is automatically cleared, the user may re-enter and, after several successive authentications fail, may lock into the group authentication interface for a time during which the user may no longer authenticate.

The process of the client sensing the rhythm password input by the user is shown in fig. 7, and specifically includes the following steps:

when the user does not input the rhythm password, setting the effective click number n to be 0, monitoring a screen click event by the client at the moment, filling one bit of the password to be n after detecting that the click-free interval is more than 0.8s, and judging whether the password filling number is equal to 4 or not, wherein if yes, the password is input completely; otherwise, returning to the step of setting the effective click number n to be 0, indicating that the password is not input completely, and counting the times of the next round of user drum beating again until the password is input completely, namely the password padding number is 4. And if the non-click interval is detected to be less than 0.8s, enabling n to be n +1, and continuing to monitor the screen click event.

In the above embodiment, 0.8s is used as the determination threshold, where the non-click time interval may also refer to a time interval between two effective clicks, and if the interval is greater than 0.8s, it indicates that two times of drumming belong to different rounds of knocking; if the interval is less than 0.8s, it indicates that the two knocks belong to the same round of knocking. And finally, sending the rhythm password sensed by the client to a server through a verification signaling, verifying by the server, and returning a verification result.

As for the voice password, the voice password in the embodiment of the present application is composed of 4 chinese characters. The user receives a phonetic code consisting of 4 chinese characters. In the group entry authentication interface, the user presses the group entry authentication control (voice button) shown in fig. 8 and speaks a password. After the user looses his hand, the system will change the voice to text, and take the first 4 to fill in the password. The system will detect if the user spoken text is consistent with the pre-configured voice password. If the two are consistent, entering group chat and displaying a chat interface; if the password is inconsistent, the password filled in the page is emptied after 1s, and the user can input the password again. In fig. 8, the system recognizes that the 4 chinese characters spoken by the user are "open the door with sesame" and the voice password is correct, and then the user can enter the room (gate group chat), and an interface S65 shown in fig. 6C is displayed.

In the embodiment of the application, for the voice password, the client only needs to be responsible for uploading the voice of the user to the server at the background, and the server at the background verifies the voice according to the first 4 characters identified in the voice.

Specifically, the client only needs to initiate an authentication signaling to authenticate the password, and the background server authenticates the accuracy of the password, specifically, the client acquires the group entry authentication information input by the user after responding to the target operation triggered by the user based on the group entry authentication control, i.e. the listed rhythm password or voice password, and the like, and sends the group entering authentication information to the background server through the authentication signaling, the background server verifies whether the group entering authentication information in the signaling is consistent with the preset target authentication information, if so, indicating that the password entered by the user is correct, a chat interface for the group to be presented is displayed, as shown in figure 4 at interface S4 otherwise, and finally, the server returns the verification result to the client, and the client only needs to process the server at the background to return the verification result.

It should be noted that the two group authentication manners given in the above embodiments are only examples, and other authentication manners besides the rhythm password authentication manner and the voice password authentication manner may also be used, which is not specifically limited herein. According to the method and the device, the verification before the user enters the group is strengthened, and the safety of the group chat information is improved.

In the embodiment of the application, a new way for opening group chat is created by taking the first multimedia content such as a door as a carrier. Different from the conventional button or entrance type mode of entering group chat, the embodiment of the application is more interesting and more ceremonial, and can promote propagation and the achievement of subsequent relationship chains. The door opening mode of the user is special, the user needs to knock for 3 times, a real life metaphor is provided, and the door opening device is more interesting. In addition, the group can be entered only by inputting rhythm passwords or voice passwords and the like after the door is opened, so that the door has a sense of ceremony and accords with the theme of soul jumping.

After the group verification method is introduced, the chat interface in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below, where the chat interface in the embodiment of the present application includes a chat area and a topic display area, the topic display area is newly provided in the present application, and is used to display a target group chat topic, and a user entering a portal group chat participates in a chat according to the target group chat topic currently displayed in the topic display area, and issues a relevant introduction.

In an alternative embodiment, the chat interface includes a topic display area and a chat area; in this case, the chat interface for displaying the group to be displayed specifically includes the following processes:

displaying a target group chat topic in a topic display area of a chat interface, wherein the target group chat topic is a group chat topic which is selected from all group chat topics in configuration information and needs to be displayed at the current moment, and the configuration information is configuration information of a group to be displayed and issued by a server after receiving a pull configuration signaling; and displaying chat information and target background content among all objects in the group to be displayed in a chat area of the chat interface, wherein the target background content is multimedia content downloaded according to a content address corresponding to the target group chat topic in the configuration information. In the embodiment of the present application, the target background content includes background music, background pictures, and the like, and here, the target background resource refers to the background picture displayed in the chat area. In the embodiment of the application, the background picture can be switched along with the switching of the group chat topics.

Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of a chat interface according to an embodiment of the present application. In the interface S91, the topic display area currently displays the target group chat topic of "perfect lateral of love beans for easy," background music of "beutiful xxx-Lixxx", and the background picture is shown in the interface S91, wherein the pattern is a five-pointed star.

Optionally, when the configuration information includes at least two group chat topics, the configuration information further includes a display sequence of each group chat topic, at this time, the target group chat topic in the topic display area is updated at regular intervals according to the display sequence of each group chat topic, and simultaneously, the target background content of the chat interface is updated according to the content address corresponding to the target group chat topic.

For example, the configuration information includes two group chat topics, namely a group chat topic 1 and a group chat topic 2, and the display order of the two group chat topics is as follows: group chat 1 and group chat 2. Since the open duration of the gate group chat is 2 hours, the display duration of each group chat topic can be evenly distributed according to the gate open duration and the number of topics, at this time, assuming that the gate open duration is 9:00-11:00, the group chat topic 1 is displayed at 9:00-10:00, the background picture is picture 1, the group chat topic 2 is displayed at 10:00-11:00, the background picture is picture 2, wherein the picture 1 is a resource corresponding to the group chat topic 1, and the picture 2 is a resource corresponding to the group chat topic 2.

As shown in fig. 9, the group chat topic 1 is "perfect lateral color of love bean for easy, and the picture 1 is the background picture containing the five-pointed star pattern shown in S91, although the background picture may also be a dynamic picture, which is only illustrated here. At 10:00, the moderator automatically switches the target group chat topic to "say one and the other half done the most romantic thing" on which the user entering the group chat can discuss. The background picture is shown as interface S92, wherein the pattern is love.

In addition, if the configuration information only includes the display duration of each group chat topic and does not include the display sequence of each group chat topic, the target group chat topic in the topic display area is randomly updated every corresponding display duration according to the display duration of each group chat topic, and simultaneously, the target background content of the chat interface is updated according to the content address corresponding to the target group chat topic.

For example, the configuration information includes two group chat topics, which are a group chat topic 1 and a group chat topic 2, and the display durations of the two group chat topics are respectively: 40 minutes and 80 minutes. In this case, when the gate group chat is just opened, one group chat topic is randomly selected as the target group chat topic, for example, the group chat topic 2 is selected as the target group chat topic, and if the gate opening time is 9:00-11:00, the group chat topic 2 is displayed at 9:00-10:20, the background picture is picture 2, the group chat topic 1 is displayed at 10:20-11:00, and the background picture is picture 1.

And if the configuration information comprises the display sequence and the display duration of each group chat topic, updating the target group chat topic in the topic display area once every corresponding display duration according to the display sequence, and updating the target background content of the chat interface according to the content address corresponding to the target group chat topic.

For example, the configuration information includes two group chat topics, which are a group chat topic 1 and a group chat topic 2, and the display durations of the two group chat topics are respectively: 40 minutes, 80 minutes, in the order shown: group chat 1 and group chat 2. In this case, when the gate chat is just opened, the target group chat topic 1 is set as the target group chat topic, and after the gate chat is opened for 40 minutes, the target group chat topic is switched to the group chat topic 2. Assuming that the door opening time is 9:00-11:00, the group chat topic 1 is displayed at 9:00-9:40, the background picture is picture 1, the group chat topic 2 is displayed at 9:40-11:00, and the background picture is picture 2.

In addition, the form of displaying the target group chat topic in the topic display area in the above embodiment is only an example, and a dynamic display mode may also be adopted, for example, a display mode in which the target group chat topic is scrolled and displayed in a rectangular frame S93 shown in fig. 9, or slides from the upper left to the upper right of the rectangular frame, and the like, which is not limited in detail herein. Further, the correspondence relationship between the background music and the group chat topic may be set, and the target group chat topic may be updated and the corresponding background music may be switched.

Since the listed group chat topics, the content addresses corresponding to the group chat topics, the display positions of the group chat entries of the group to be displayed, and the like can be contained in the configuration information issued by the server, the following detailed description is given to the process of the client acquiring the configuration information of the group to be displayed, considering that the soul trampoline group chat in the embodiment of the application is social with strong operation property, the operation will configure the theme related data as the configuration information of the group to be displayed to the server in the background in advance, and when the user enters into the group chat matching, the configuration will be pulled, so that the problem that the server is overloaded due to too many users pulling data when the door is opened is avoided. The configuration information may be stored in a json (JavaScript Object Notation) mode, and the contents are roughly as follows:

in the listed configuration information, id is the configuration identifier of the group to be shown, i.e. 202003190001; the data in music _ list is the address of the background music, i.e., http:// music _ online _ url; the data in the img _ list and the list data in the topic _ list are in one-to-one correspondence, wherein the list data in the topic _ list refers to group chat topics, the data in the img _ list refers to content addresses corresponding to the respective group chat topics, and the priority display sequence of each group chat topic is determined according to the sequence of json configuration, for example, as listed above, firstly, it is required to display the group chat topics, "say that one half is the most romantic thing, and then, it is required to display the group chat topic" love beans in peace. The occupied time of each group chat topic is the opening time of the soul jumping group chat divided by the number of the group chat topics, the json configures two group chat topics, the opening time is 2 hours, so that each group chat topic occupies 1 hour, after 1 hour, the next topic can be switched, and meanwhile, the background picture can also be switched.

When a target object executes a trigger operation aiming at a group chat matching interface, a target object client sends a pull configuration signaling to a server, the pull configuration signaling comprises a configuration identifier of a group to be displayed, and after receiving the pull configuration signaling sent by the target object client, the server obtains configuration information of the group to be displayed according to the configuration identifier and sends the configuration information to the target object client. Of course, the same is true for clients of other objects. And after receiving the pull configuration signaling sent by the client, the server sends the corresponding configuration information to the client.

After receiving the configuration information returned by the server, the client of the target object may display the group chat portal, the first multimedia content, the target group chat topic, the target multimedia content, and the like according to the configuration information, and the specific display process refers to the above embodiments, and no limitation is repeated here.

In the embodiment of the present application, in order to relieve the pressure of pulling configuration when a server door is opened, a policy of a client on a pulling opportunity is optimized, when a user enters an interface S401 shown in fig. 4 to perform matching chat, a pulling configuration signaling is initiated to a server, and if the user pulls incorrectly (generally, if the user pulls incorrectly under the condition of poor network state, etc.), the server will not return data any more. The client side mainly transmits the id in the local json configuration to the server as the configuration identifier of the group to be displayed, and the general flow is as shown in fig. 10, and specifically includes the following steps:

after detecting that a user enters a matched chat, a client inquires whether gate group chat configuration exists locally; if so, the client acquires the id of the local cache, otherwise, the id is set to be 0; then the client initiates a pull configuration signaling to the server, wherein the signaling contains the configuration identifier of the group to be displayed, namely the id acquired in the process; the server acquires an id (signaling id for short) in the received pull configuration signaling, and then judges whether the id in the current background is consistent with the signaling id; if yes, the server continuously judges whether the gate group chat is started; otherwise, the server assembles the newly configured json _ data and then executes the step of judging whether the gate group chat is opened.

In the embodiment of the application, if the gate group chat is started, the server sets a first state parameter open _ state to 1; otherwise, setting the first state parameter open _ state to 0; and then, the server returns the acquired configuration information and the data of the first state parameters to the client together, and the client processes the configuration. Specifically, if the client determines that the gate group chat is opened according to the received first state parameter, after the display group is opened, the group chat entrance is displayed in the group chat matching interface, and the first multimedia content is displayed on the group chat entrance.

It should be noted that the configuration information in the embodiment of the present application may include at least one group chat topic and a content address corresponding to each group chat topic; in addition, the open time and the open state of the group to be shown, the display position of the group chat entrance of the group to be shown, the display icon and the like can be included. And the client displays a group chat matching interface based on the configuration information and displays a chat interface of the group to be displayed.

In addition, it should be further noted that, in this embodiment of the present application, the client stores the configuration signaling in the local after pulling each time, so as to avoid the problem of repeated pulling, in each pulling configuration, the server in the background returns to the open state of the group to be presented, when the portal chat portal of the group to be presented is opened, there are two ways for the client to perceive, and then display the portal chat portal, one is that when the client takes the pulling configuration each time, the client takes the open _ state parameter (i.e., the first state parameter listed in the above embodiment) to represent, and when the server determines that the open time of the group to be presented arrives, the first state parameter is sent to the client that sent the pulling configuration signaling; the other is to actively push (push) to the client through the background, and only when the user is in matched chat, the client used by the user receives the push, but not push to all clients. That is to say, when the server determines that the open time of the group to be presented is reached, after determining that the target object executes the trigger operation according to the received second state parameters, the server returns an open signaling for the group to be presented to the client of the target object, where the second state parameters are used to indicate whether the object executes the trigger operation, that is, whether the object is in match chat.

Specifically, when the user enters the matching chat, the client will make a report to the server, where the report includes a second state parameter used for indicating that the user performs a trigger operation, and indicates that the user is currently in the matching chat; when the user does not match the chat interface any more, the client initiates a report to the server again, wherein the report comprises a second state parameter used for indicating that the user does not execute the trigger operation and indicating that the user is not in the matched chat, and the server in the background determines whether to issue the push according to the state reported by the user. Therefore, after the target object is determined to be in the matching chat according to the received second state parameters, the open signaling for the group to be shown is returned to the client of the target object. After the client displays the group chat entrance of the target object on the group chat matching interface, the user may click the first multimedia content displayed on the group chat entrance of the group to be displayed for multiple times, and enter a verification link. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the matching chat means that the user enters the group chat matching interface, and the non-matching chat means that the user exits the group chat matching interface.

Based on the above embodiment, the embodiment of the application creates a new way of opening group chat, which is different from the previous way of entering group chat through buttons or entrances, the group chat entrance of the group to be displayed appears at irregular time every day and is only opened for 2 hours, the group chat after the door is opened is based on a stranger scene, background music and topic guidance is provided, and a scarce sense of limiting the playing method is created for users.

In addition, the embodiment of the application can also give a prominent identity to the user who enters the door for multiple times, and the prominent identity is displayed, so that the user is encouraged to continuously chat in groups every day. The method comprises the following steps:

the client displays welcome information aiming at the target object in a topic display area of the chat interface, wherein the welcome information is information issued after the server determines that the target object meets the preset display condition; in addition, at least one of the identification of the target object and the chat information input by the target object can be highlighted in the chat area of the chat interface.

Considering that the operation of opening the door to enter the group chat of the group to be displayed has certain cost, the user who finds the group chat entrance of the group to be displayed continuously for many days and successfully enters the group chat entrance can be identified as a loyalty user, namely a special object, for the special object, the embodiment of the application gives a special identity outside, and the identity identification or chat information and the like of the special object are highlighted in the chat area. For example, for a special object meeting the preset display condition when a user opens the door to enter the group chat for 3 consecutive days, welcome information is displayed above the chat interface of the group to be displayed to welcome the user to enter the group chat. In addition, a VIP (virtual inportant Person, honored guest) nameplate is arranged on the head portrait as an identity, bubbles of the speech can have a special color style, the content of the speech can be represented by a special font, and the like, which is specifically shown in fig. 11A. Assuming that the nickname of the target object is the piglet paw, when the target object enters into the group chat of the group to be displayed, if the target object is only a common object, welcome information and the like do not need to be displayed, as shown in the left interface in fig. 11A, only prompt is performed below the latest message in the chat area; if the target object is a special object, welcome information "welcome piglet paw to enter" is displayed in the topic display area, a VIP nameplate is displayed beside the head portrait of the target object, and chat information is highlighted through a special bubble, as shown in the right interface in fig. 11A.

In the embodiment of the application, a certain preset display condition is set to screen out a special object from each object added to the group chat, welcome information is set for the special object, and the identity identification, the chat information and other modes are highlighted, so that more users are attracted to participate in the group chat, and the user viscosity is increased.

The method comprises the steps that in order to achieve welcome ceremony of a special object, welcome information is displayed in a topic display area, when the special object enters a gate group chat and a server in a background learns that the special object is a loyalty user, a push signal is sent to other users in the group chat to display the welcome information. When the client receives the signaling, the client only needs to display the welcome information. The loyalty user determination standard is placed in a server in the background so as to be dynamically adjustable, in the embodiment of the application, it is mainly determined whether the user participates in the group chat for 3 consecutive days to determine whether the user is a loyalty user, of course, other conditions are also possible, for example, it is determined whether the current chat duration of the user reaches a preset threshold, and the like, and no specific limitation is made herein.

In addition, in order to implement the VIP tag, considering that the group to be presented in the embodiment of the present application is also a group, but is only a temporary group, an is _ VIP field may be added to the information of each user in the group user list information, for example, a field of 0 indicates that the user is not a special object, and a field of 1 indicates that the user is a special object. The client judges whether to display the icon of the VIP according to the field in the user information, and meanwhile, the server in the background can control and display, so that the client is prevented from being utilized by malicious users.

In the above embodiment, by giving the VIP identity to the special object such as the door being opened successfully continuously, and having the special identity exposed, the user can be encouraged to continuously perform group chat every day, and the group chat activity is improved.

In addition, the user can view the rule by clicking the VIP nameplate of the special object, and can see the difference of the distance to obtain the VIP. Specifically, the client displays a rule detail interface including preset display conditions in response to a rule viewing operation triggered by an identity of a target object in the chat area.

As shown in fig. 11B, the pop-up window in the right interface is a rule detail interface, in which a preset display condition is displayed, that is, the soul trampoline comes for 3 days continuously, and if the condition is satisfied, a special object can be formed, and a VIP nameplate and a soul bubble are obtained. It can be seen from the figure that the user only enters the soul trampoline for 1 day continuously, and then enters the soul trampoline for 2 days continuously to become a special object, so as to encourage the user to participate in the group chat of the group to be displayed.

In the embodiment of the application, after the gate group chat is finished, an entrance for joining a group is provided for the same interest, so that a user is not related to other users after participating in the gate group chat, when the gate group chat is finished, a group adding box can be automatically popped up, the user can automatically join the group chat only by clicking to join, and the first 3 users who join can automatically become a group owner or an administrator.

Optionally, in order to attract more users to participate in the group chat in the embodiment of the present application, in addition to displaying the group chat entrance of the group to be shown at the display position determined in the group chat matching interface, the group chat state of the user may be further transmitted through the group chat matching interface, for example, the degree of the fire and heat of the chat, the entering of new people, the change of topics, and the like, so as to attract the users to join in the group chat. The specific implementation mode is as follows:

the method comprises the steps that after determining that the group chat state of a group to be displayed changes, a server generates corresponding group chat state information, wherein the group chat state information comprises a state value and state change information which are used for representing the changed group chat state type in the group to be displayed; and then, sending the group chat state information of the group to be shown to the client of each object responding to the trigger operation aiming at the group chat matching interface. After receiving the group chat state information, the client can determine the changed target group chat state type according to the state value, and further display an animation effect corresponding to the target group chat state type on the group chat entrance according to the state change information corresponding to the target group chat state type.

The background server is mainly used for issuing the push to the users in the matched chatting, and the background server can know whether the users are in the group chatting matching interface or not through the second state parameters reported by the users, so that the users needing the push can be known. When any group chat state in the gate group chat changes, the lesson generates status _ change signaling and sends the status _ change signaling to the client to change the style. Content (content, i.e., group chat status information in the present embodiment) in the signaling is also a json string, and the content is roughly as follows:

the change _ type is a state value and is used to indicate a changed group chat state type, and the change _ type listed in the embodiment of the present application has three values, which correspond to the following meanings:

change_type	means of
		1	Subject state change
2	New user joining
		3	Having new chat, needing to show bubbles

When the change _ type is 1, it indicates that the changed group chat state type is a group chat topic state, and the client needs to display a corresponding gate topic state according to the me _ id (topic id), for example, as shown in fig. 12A, which is a schematic diagram of a transparent transmission effect of a first group chat state in the embodiment of the present application, and is used for transmitting a change of the group chat topic in the gate, and as can be seen from the diagram, the currently newly switched topic is an love bean topic. When the theme is switched to be the hot theme, the displayed animation effect is that the love pattern floats into the door; in addition, the theme can be switched to a hot theme, and the displayed animation effect is as shown in fig. 12A. In the embodiment of the present application, the animation effect corresponding to the type of the target group chat topic is related to the first multimedia content, and the first multimedia content is taken as a door icon as an example, so that the animation effect of a small pattern drifting from a door gap to a door can be realized.

The topic states listed here in the group chat status type are related to the target group chat topic, and if the target group chat topic relates to a bean, an emotion, a hotspot, and the like, the topic states correspond to these categories. If the target group chat topic is switched from the emotion to the love bean, the topic state changes, and if the target group chat topic is switched from the love bean topic 1 to the love bean topic 2, the topic state does not change.

When change _ type is 2, it indicates that the changed group chat state type is a user, the client needs to download a small icon avatar of an object newly entering the group to be displayed according to avatar _ url for displaying, and the displayed animation effect is shown in fig. 12B, which is a schematic diagram of a second door group chat state unvarnished effect in the embodiment of the present application, and can realize an animation effect of waving the small icon avatar inside the door.

When change _ type is 3, the changed group chat state type is a chat message, and the client only needs to display a bubble in the door. For example, as shown in fig. 12C, which is a schematic diagram of a third door group chat state transparent transmission effect in the embodiment of the present application, an animation effect of floating a message bubble inside a door can be achieved.

In the embodiment of the application, in a normal state, the door shows the effect of the message bubble flying out of the door, and the flying-out frequency of the door has 3 levels, which respectively correspond to low, medium and high chat frequencies in group chat of a group to be shown. When entering with a new user, the door may show the user's avatar flying into the door. When the theme in the group is switched, the door gap is also changed correspondingly.

If at least two group chat state types of a group to be displayed at the same time are changed, determining a state value in group chat state information according to a group chat state type with the highest priority in the at least two group chat state types, and taking the state change information of the group chat state type with the highest priority in the changed group chat state types as state change information in the group chat state information, wherein the state change information is chat frequency, a new user image icon address, theme id and the like.

For example, the three states listed above do not occur simultaneously, with a priority of group chat topic state change > new user enter > bubbles are extinguished within the group. Therefore, when a new user joins the group chat at the same time and the chat frequency in the group also changes, the status value may be set to 2 in consideration of entering of the new user with the highest priority of the two group chat status types, and the status change information, i.e., the icon address of the avatar of the new user, may be set to achieve the animation effect shown in fig. 12B.

In the above embodiment, the inside of the door can transmit the state of the group, such as the joining of a new person, the switching of themes, the frequency of chatting and the like, and attract the user to knock in.

After the above embodiments are introduced, the following describes in detail the manner in which the user acquires the group entry authentication information and the open time of the group to be presented. In the embodiment of the present application, there are various ways for a user to obtain group entry verification information and open time of a group to be displayed, and the following discussion is divided into cases:

mode 1: when the group chat of the group to be displayed is about to end, the open time and the password of the group to be displayed in the next time period appear in the group chat, and a user in the group chat can see the open time and the password.

In this way, when the open duration of the group to be displayed reaches the preset duration, the server sends the group entry verification information and the open duration for the group to be displayed in the next time period to the client of each object in the group to be displayed currently, and the client displays the group entry verification information and the open duration for the group to be displayed in the next time period in the topic display area in the chat interface.

As shown in fig. 13A, when the open time of the group to be displayed is long enough and approaches the close time of the group to be displayed or reaches the close time of the group to be displayed, the open time of the group to be displayed may be considered to reach a preset time, at this time, the server pushes the group entering authentication information and the open time for the group to be displayed to the client, and after the client receives the group entering authentication information and the open time, the group entering authentication information and the open time are displayed in the topic display area of the chat interface of the group to be displayed, as shown in fig. 13A, the open time of the group to be displayed on the second day is 21:00 at night, the group entering authentication information is the rhythm password shown in fig. 13A, the user needs to knock the drum 1 time for the first round, 3 times for the second round, 2 times for the third round, and 2 times for the fourth round.

In the embodiment, for the user in the gate group chat, when the group chat is ended, the background issues the group entry authentication information and the open time push to the user who is still in the gate group chat, and directly displays the topic display area displayed on the target group chat topic, so that the user can intuitively obtain the information at the first time, and the gate group chat user can be driven to actively participate.

Mode 2: hidden in the topic sea, i.e. in the group chat portals of the respective alternative groups. The group chat matching interface is a topic sea, a group chat invitation of a group to be displayed is hidden in the topic sea and displayed in the first 2 hours when each gate is opened, the invitation is also displayed in the form of a target group chat gate which is the same as the group chat gate of the alternative group, a user can open the invitation by clicking the topic and check the opening time and the password of the current time gate, and at the moment, the client responds to the selection operation of a target object for selecting the target group chat gate in the group chat matching interface and displays a verification prompt interface containing group entering verification information and opening time.

For example, after the user clicks the open invitation, the opening time and password of the door of the day can be checked. Referring to fig. 13B, the verification prompt interface shows that the opening time is 21:00 tonight, the password is the rhythm password shown in fig. 13B, and the user needs to tap the drum 1 time for the first round, 3 times for the second round, 2 times for the third round, and 2 times for the fourth round.

Mode 3: and obtaining by stimulating the colored eggs in the expansion column. When the user matches more than 10 times every day or the accumulated chat time exceeds 20min, the user can be considered to meet the preset expansion condition, at the moment, the server can push the client of the user, the user can receive the invitation, and when the user clicks to check the invitation, the opening time and the password of the current day are noted above the user. The user can upload the password to the social network by self-screenshot, and the password is propagated.

For example, after the server determines that the target object meets the preset extension condition, the server sends group entry verification information and open time aiming at the group to be displayed at the current time interval to the client of the target object, and after the client of the target object receives the verification information and the open time, the client of the target object can directly display the verification information and the open time in a topic display area of a chat interface of the group to be displayed, or prompt the target object through an invitation in a group chat matching interface, and display a verification prompt interface containing the group entry verification information and the open time after a user clicks the invitation.

In the modes 2 and 3, for the user in the group chat matching interface, in order to increase the activity of the user, the group entering authentication information and the opening time are hidden in the topic sea, and if the user is in the topic sea, the user can also obtain the group entering authentication information and the opening time, and the group entering authentication information and the opening time are mainly required to be carried in the topic info (information) in the topic sea. For the users who use the active expansion, pushing group verification information and opening time to the users, stimulating the users to use the gate group chat, controlling the judgment standard of the active expansion users by a background server, and making display logic by the client after receiving push, wherein the users are the active expansion users if the users meet preset expansion conditions.

Optionally, after the group chat of the group to be displayed is finished, the outer door is closed. Before shutting down, the system may also prompt the user whether to add a group. All users performing group adding operation can be pulled into a chat group chat, namely an associated group of a group to be shown, and the associated group is not limited in the infinite chat.

Specifically, when the open duration of the group to be displayed reaches a first preset duration, the client closes the chat interface and jumps to a group chat matching interface, wherein group adding prompt information for the associated group of the group to be displayed is displayed in the group chat matching interface; as shown in fig. 14, the group adding prompt message is "add group and continue chat with a trampoline buddy", when the user clicks a group adding button therein, the client jumps to a group chat interface of the associated group in response to a group adding operation for the associated group triggered by the target object on the group chat matching interface, wherein the group members of the associated group include the target object and other objects triggering the group adding operation of the associated group, and the group chat interface displays chat information between the group members in the associated group.

In the embodiment of the present application, the outline flow of the grouping processing is shown in fig. 15. The method specifically comprises the following steps:

the method comprises the steps that a server pushes group _ id (group identification) of an associated group of a group to be displayed to a client side 1 minute before a gate group chat is finished; the client acquires the group _ id and starts to finish countdown; after the countdown is finished, closing the chat interface, returning to the group chat matching interface, displaying a group adding popup in the group chat matching interface, as shown in fig. 14, displaying group adding prompt information in the popup, triggering group adding operation by clicking a group adding button by a user, adding an associated group of a group to be displayed, wherein the associated group displayed in fig. 14 is a soul trampoline group of 2 months and 27 days, and setting the first 3 users who click to add the group to automatically become a group owner and a manager.

In the embodiment of the application, when the client responds to the group adding operation of the user, the client sends the group adding signaling to the server, and the server performs the group adding processing. The server control at the background adds the group popup window, so that the system can be shielded if problems occur.

In the above embodiment, before the closing of the group chat end door, the user is allowed to click on the group, and all users having clicked on the group form a chat group to continue the chat. Subsequent group liveness and social relationship chain attainment is increased. The method and the device for the group chat give more playability to the group chat entrance, attract users to join the group chat and contribute to propagation of group functions.
