Detailed Description

In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present disclosure and in the foregoing figures are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged where appropriate such that the embodiments of the disclosure described herein may be capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. The implementations described in the following exemplary examples are not representative of all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the accompanying claims.

In the related art, in the process of inviting users to join a group by using a group live code, a fixed entry two-dimensional code is provided, the group two-dimensional code is displayed after the user scans the entry two-dimensional code, the displayed group two-dimensional code is provided according to the number of times of scanning, and the group two-dimensional code is switched to the next group two-dimensional code after the number of times of scanning reaches the upper limit or is randomly provided for each time of scanning, so that the variable group two-dimensional code is provided for the user. However, on the one hand, because the group adding modes are quite various, for example, the group chat can be added by scanning the group two-dimension code, and the group chat can also be added by directly inviting, so that the actual group number of the group cannot be counted by only recording the times of scanning the group two-dimension code, the situation that the group two-dimension code is full is probably caused by the difference between the counted times of scanning the group two-dimension code and the actual group number, further, the user cannot timely add the group chat, and the group entering efficiency and the user experience are reduced. On the other hand, after the user scans the entrance two-dimension code, the displayed group two-dimension code is likely to be stored for other users to scan, so that some users join the group chat by scanning the similar static two-dimension code, and therefore if one group two-dimension code is randomly provided each time, under the above scene, the situation that some users cannot join the group two-dimension code because the number of groups is full when the group two-dimension code shared by other users is scanned may occur.

Based on this, the embodiment of the disclosure provides a method for generating group entering information, in which a server determines, through a first threshold of the number of people smaller than an upper limit of the number of people in a group, after obtaining the number of people in each preset group from a designated storage space in response to a group entering information obtaining request, a candidate preset group in which the number of people in the group does not exceed the first threshold of people according to a comparison condition of the number of people in each preset group and the first threshold of people, further determines a target preset group in the candidate preset group, generates group entering information according to group entering link information of the target preset group, and returns the group entering information to a client, so that a group in which the number of people in the group is not full is corresponding to group entering information provided to the client in a group activity code using process is ensured, a situation that a user cannot timely join in online group chat caused by providing a group two-dimensional code in which the number of people in the group is full is avoided, and thus the group entering efficiency and user experience are improved.

Referring to fig. 1, an application environment diagram of a method for generating group entering information according to an exemplary embodiment is shown, where the application environment may include a client 110, a group entering server 120, and a group maintenance server 130.

The client 110 may be, but is not limited to, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, etc. The client 110 may communicate with the group entry server 120 and the group maintenance server 130 connection via a wired or wireless network.

The group entry server 120 and the group maintenance server 130 may communicate via a wired or wireless network connection. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the server may be an independent physical server, a server cluster or a distributed system formed by a plurality of physical servers, or a cloud server providing cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDNs, basic cloud computing services such as big data and artificial intelligent platforms, and the like.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for generating group entry information according to an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 2, the method for generating group entry information is applied to the group entry server shown in fig. 1, and includes the following steps.

In step S210, a group entry information acquisition request transmitted by the client is received.

The group entry information acquisition request is generated by the client in response to a triggering operation for a group entry, and the group entry is associated with a plurality of preset groups.

Specifically, the presentation form of the group portal may be a two-dimensional code carrying a portal link, the two-dimensional code carrying the portal link may be referred to as a portal two-dimensional code, and the client may acquire the portal two-dimensional code directly from the group maintenance server, or may also scan the portal two-dimensional code displayed by other clients, or may also receive the portal two-dimensional code sent by other clients. Taking a specific application scenario as an example, the entry two-dimensional code may be a two-dimensional code returned after the user pays attention to a certain applet through WeChat for joining in group chat.

The triggering operation for the group entry may be a clicking operation for the group entry by a user, or a scanning operation or a long-press operation for the entry two-dimensional code. When the group entry is triggered, the client may generate a group entry information acquisition request in response to the triggering operation, where the group entry information acquisition request may carry an entry identifier of the group entry, where the entry identifier is used to uniquely identify one group entry, so that the group entry server may find, through the entry identifier, a plurality of preset groups associated with the group entry.

It should be noted that, a plurality of preset groups associated with the group entry are created in advance by the group creator through the group maintenance server, and a group name, group entry link information, and a group population upper limit value are set for each preset group when the plurality of preset groups are created. The upper limit value of the population number represents the upper limit of the population number allowed to be accommodated by a group, namely when the actual population number of the group reaches the upper limit value of the population number, the group is full, and new members cannot be allowed to enter the group any more; in practical applications, the upper limit value of the number of the group persons in the preset groups associated with the group entrance is generally the same, for example, 200 persons. The group entering link information is used for the new member to join the corresponding group, and when the new member triggers the group entering link information, the new member can join the corresponding group and then enter the group chat. In practical application, the group entering link information can be presented in the form of a group entering two-dimensional code carrying the group entering link information, and a new member can enter a corresponding group by scanning or long-pressing the group entering two-dimensional code.

In step S220, in response to the group entering information obtaining request, the population number of each of the plurality of preset groups is obtained from the specified storage space.

In practical application, the real-time group population information of each preset group is recorded by the group maintenance server, so that in order to enable the group entering server to acquire the relatively real-time group population information of each preset group and not frequently send a request to the group maintenance server, in the embodiment of the disclosure, the group population information of all preset groups is locally maintained at the group entering server, the real-time group population of all preset groups is periodically requested to the group maintenance server, and the group population of each preset group maintained locally is updated according to the real-time group population, so that the group population which is not full is returned to the client as much as possible, the response speed to the group entering information acquisition request is improved while the group entering efficiency is improved, and the user experience is further improved.

In view of the relatively large resource overhead caused by the periodic maintenance update if the detailed information of each preset group is maintained locally at the group entering server, only the group ID and the group number of each preset group can be maintained locally at the group entering server, that is, the correspondence between the group ID and the group number of the preset group is stored in the designated storage space.

Based on this, as shown in the flow chart of another group entering information generating method provided in fig. 3, before step S220, the method may further include:

in step S310, a first group information acquisition request is transmitted to a group maintenance server at preset time intervals.

The first group information obtaining request is used for requesting the actual group number of each preset group, namely the current group number, in the plurality of preset groups. After receiving the first group information acquisition request, the group maintenance server determines the current group population of each preset group in the plurality of preset groups recorded by the group maintenance server according to the first group information acquisition request, and returns the current group population of each preset group to the group entering server.

The preset time interval can be set according to actual needs, and generally, the shorter the preset time interval is, the closer the group number of each preset group locally maintained by the group entering server is to the actual group number, so that the group entering efficiency is improved; conversely, the longer the preset time interval is set, the larger the difference between the number of group persons in each preset group locally maintained by the group entering server and the actual number of group persons is, and the request frequency of the group maintaining server is reduced, but the improvement of the group entering efficiency is not facilitated. For example, the preset time interval may be set to 1 minute.

In step S320, a current population number of each preset group of the plurality of preset groups returned by the group maintenance server is received.

In step S330, the population number corresponding to each preset group in the designated storage space is updated to the current population number of the corresponding preset group in the preset groups.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the designated storage space may be a local storage space of the group entering server, where the designated storage space is used to store group population information of all preset groups associated with the group entry, and may update the group population information of each preset group according to the current group population of each preset group returned by the group maintenance server.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the group entering server locally maintains the group number information of all preset groups, and periodically requests the real-time group number of all preset groups to the group maintaining server, and updates the group number of each preset group locally maintained according to the real-time group number, so that the group entering server can acquire the relatively real-time group number information of each preset group and send the request to the group maintaining server infrequently, the group entering efficiency is improved, and meanwhile, the response speed to the group entering information acquisition request is improved, and the user experience is further improved.

In step S230, a candidate preset group of the plurality of preset groups is determined according to the comparison of the population number of each preset group and the first population threshold.

The number of people in the candidate preset group does not exceed the first threshold, and the first threshold is smaller than the upper limit value of the number of people in the candidate preset group. The first threshold may be a default initial threshold, or may be a threshold obtained by updating the initial threshold, and the initial threshold may be half of the upper limit value of the population, for example, the upper limit value of the population is 200, and the initial threshold may be 100.

In order to return the group with the less than full group number to the client as much as possible, and improve the group entering efficiency, as a possible implementation manner, the step S230 may include the following steps of:

in step S410, a first person count threshold is acquired.

The initial first threshold is a default initial threshold that may be one half of the upper group population limit, e.g., 200, and then 100.

In step S420, a first comparison result is obtained according to the comparison situation of the population number of each preset group in the plurality of preset groups and the first population threshold.

Specifically, the group entering server compares the number of the group persons in each preset group in the plurality of preset groups with a first threshold of the number of the group persons respectively, so that a comparison result corresponding to each preset group is obtained, wherein the comparison result comprises that the number of the group persons exceeds the first threshold of the number of the group persons or the number of the group persons does not exceed the first threshold of the number of the group persons.

In step S430, it is determined whether a preset group whose group number does not exceed the first person number threshold exists in the first comparison result, and if so, step S440 is performed; if not, go to step S450 to step S460.

In step S440, a preset group whose population number does not exceed the first population threshold is used as a candidate preset group.

It will be appreciated that the number of candidate preset groups may be one or more.

In step S450, the first person count threshold is updated according to a preset threshold increase rule.

Specifically, if no preset group whose group number does not exceed the first person number threshold exists in the first comparison result, it indicates that the parameter for screening, that is, the first person number threshold is too small, and at this time, the first person number threshold may be increased appropriately.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to enable the population number of each preset group to increase uniformly and smoothly, the first population threshold may be updated by using a preset threshold increase rule, where the preset threshold increase rule may be used to implement a gradient increase of the first population threshold, and in a specific implementation, the preset threshold increase rule may be in a binary manner, that is, the step S450 may include the following steps when implemented:

(1) And calculating the sum of the first people threshold and the upper limit value of the population number.

(2) And updating the first person threshold according to the intermediate value of the sum.

For example, assuming that the upper limit of the population number is 200 and the current first threshold is 100, the sum of the two is 300, and the median of 300 is 150, the first threshold may be updated to be 150. The next time the first person threshold is updated, the sum of the two is 150, the median value of 350 is 175, and the first person threshold can be updated to 175. In practical applications, the intermediate value obtained in the step (2) may not be an integer, such as (200+175)/2=187.5, and the first person number threshold should be an integer, where the intermediate value may be rounded to update the first person number threshold, that is, if the intermediate value is 187.5, the first person number threshold is updated to 187.

Based on this, the preset threshold increase rule can be expressed as the following formula when computer implemented: threshold_i+1= (threshold_i+max_threshold+1)/2, where threshold_i represents the first threshold of people before update, max_threshold represents the upper limit of the population number, and threshold_i+1 represents the first threshold of people after update.

In step S460, a candidate preset group among the plurality of preset groups is determined according to the updated first person count threshold.

Specifically, steps S420 to S430 may be repeatedly performed according to the updated first person count threshold.

In practical application, after the preset threshold value increasing rule is used for multiple times, the first threshold value of the number of people is continuously close to the upper limit value of the number of people, so that the probability that the group number of the selected candidate preset group is close to the upper limit value of the number of people, that is, the candidate preset group is a full group is larger and larger, at this time, in order to avoid returning the group with the full group number to the client, as a possible implementation manner, before determining the candidate preset group in the plurality of preset groups according to the updated first threshold value of the number of people, the method may further include the following steps:

in step S470, a first difference between the group number upper limit value and the updated first person number threshold value is determined.

In step S480, it is determined whether the first difference is smaller than a preset difference.

The preset difference value can be set according to actual needs, and the larger the preset difference value is, the more favorable the client is to avoid returning the group with the full group number; conversely, the smaller the preset difference setting, the greater the risk of returning to the client a group with a full population. For example, the preset difference may be set to 20.

If the first difference is not less than the preset difference, that is, the first difference is greater than or equal to the preset difference, it indicates that the updated first people threshold is further away from the upper limit of the population number, and the step S460 may be executed.

If the first difference is smaller than the preset difference, it indicates that the updated first people threshold is relatively close to the upper group people limit, and step S490 to step S4120 may be considered.

In step S490, a creation request for creating a new group is sent to the group maintenance server, so that the group maintenance server creates a new preset group according to the creation request, and returns the current group number of the new preset group.

In step S4110, the new preset group is used as the candidate preset group.

In step S4120, the new preset group is stored in the designated storage space according to the current population number of the new preset group.

Specifically, when the first threshold is updated by adopting a preset threshold increasing rule and the first difference value between the updated first threshold and the upper limit value of the population number is smaller than the preset difference value, the new preset group is initiated to be created and used as a candidate preset group, so that the group with the full population number can be effectively prevented from being returned to the client, and the group entering efficiency and the user experience are improved. In other words, in the embodiment of the disclosure, the situation that the number of people in the group is full can be timely found by monitoring the updated first threshold value of the number of people, and further, measures of newly-built groups can be timely taken, so that the group entering efficiency is greatly improved.

It should be noted that, the updating method of the first person number threshold is not limited to the above-mentioned preset threshold increasing rule, and other gradient increasing methods may be adopted. In addition, for more complex scenarios, such as those requiring periodic cleaning of a portion of the group members, a reasonable first population threshold may be reset after cleaning the group members.

In step S240, a target preset group of the candidate preset groups is determined.

As a possible implementation manner, if the candidate preset group includes only one preset group, the candidate preset group may be directly used as the target preset group, and if the number of the candidate preset groups exceeds one, one candidate preset group may be randomly selected as the target preset group.

In order to enable the user of the client to join the current active group, as another possible implementation, the step S240 may include the following steps, as shown in fig. 5a, when determining the target preset group of the candidate preset groups:

in step S510, the candidate preset groups are arranged in descending order according to the population numbers of the candidate preset groups.

I.e. the candidate preset groups are arranged according to the smoothness of the number of groups from more to less.

In step S520, a first number of candidate preset groups ordered first is determined.

In step S530, a target preset group is selected from the first number of candidate preset groups.

For example, assume that there are 200 preset groups, and the number of groups in each preset group currently maintained locally by the group server is: the number of 1# preset groups is 1 person, the number of 2# preset groups is 2 person, and so on, the number of 200# preset groups is 200 person, and candidate preset groups with the number of groups not exceeding 100 are selected by the method in the embodiment of the present disclosure: the preset group 1# is preset, the preset group 2# is … …, the preset group 99# is preset, and the preset group 100# is preset, so that the candidate preset groups are arranged according to the descending order of the number of groups: 100# preset group, 99# preset group, … …,2# preset group, 1# preset group; assuming that the first number is 10, one of the preset groups 100# to 91# can be randomly selected as the target preset group, so that the user of the client can be ensured to enter a group with a relatively large number of groups, namely, a relatively active group.

To further ensure that the user of the client is able to join the active group, as a possible implementation, the first number may be effectively defined according to the number of requests per unit time, i.e. QPS (Queries Per Second), as shown in fig. 5b, and before determining the first number of candidate preset groups ordered first, the method may further include:

in step S540, the number of requests of the group information acquisition request in a unit time is acquired.

Specifically, the group access server may record the number of requests of the group access information acquisition request received in a unit time, so as to determine that the first number is a value of the number of requests to directly acquire the record when it is required.

In step S550, a product of the number of requests and the preset time interval is calculated.

The preset time interval is the time interval mentioned in the foregoing description of the embodiment of the disclosure for sending the first group information obtaining request to the group maintenance server, that is, the time interval for pulling the current group number of each preset group to the group maintenance server. The product characterizes how many people are added to the preset group between the two pulling group number information.

In step S560, a second difference between the group number upper limit value and the first number threshold is calculated.

In step S570, the first number is determined based on the product and the second difference.

Specifically, the ratio of the product to the second difference may be calculated first, and the first number is an integer greater than the ratio, that is, the first number may be calculated using the following formula:

wherein n represents a first number; n (upper group population limit-first population threshold) characterizes the least number of additions that can be carried between pulling group population information.

The embodiment of the disclosure determines the first number by combining the QPS and the formula, and can enlarge the value of the first number n when the QPS is relatively large and reduce the value of the first number n when the QPS is relatively small, so that the group entering information of the group which is not full in number of groups and is relatively active is ensured to be returned to the client.

In step S250, group entering information is generated according to the group entering link information of the target preset group, and the group entering information is returned to the client, so that the client displays the group entering information.

As a possible implementation manner, since only the correspondence between the group ID and the group number is stored in the designated storage space local to the group entering server, the method may include the following steps when generating the group entering information according to the group entering link information of the target preset group:

(1) And sending a second group information acquisition request of the group-entering link information aiming at the target preset group to a group maintenance server.

The second group information acquisition request may carry a target group ID of the target preset group, and the group maintenance server may determine, after receiving the second group information acquisition request, a group name and group entry link information corresponding to the target group ID according to the second group information acquisition request, so as to return the group name and the group entry link information corresponding to the target group ID to the group entry server.

(2) And receiving the group name and the group entering link information of the target preset group returned by the group maintenance server in response to the second group information acquisition request.

(3) And generating group entering information according to the group name and the group entering link information of the target preset group.

For example, the group entering link information corresponding to each preset group in the group maintenance server may be presented in the form of a two-dimensional code, that is, the group entering server receives the group name and the group entering two-dimensional code of the target preset group returned by the group maintenance server in response to the second group information acquisition request, where the group entering two-dimensional code carries the group entering link information of the target preset group. Then the generated group entering information includes the group entering two-dimensional code and the group name.

According to the technical scheme, the group information provided to the client in the group live code using process is ensured to correspond to the group with the unsatisfied group number, so that the situation that the user cannot timely join in online group chat caused by providing the group two-dimensional code with the full group number is avoided, and meanwhile, the user of the client can join in the more active group, the group entering efficiency is improved, and the user experience is greatly improved.

Referring to fig. 6, a timing diagram illustrating another method for generating group entry information according to an exemplary embodiment is shown, and the method may include:

in step S610, the group entry server sets an initial threshold value of the first person count threshold value.

The initial threshold may be half of the upper population limit.

In step S620, the group entering server periodically transmits a first group information acquisition request to the group maintenance server.

The first group information acquisition request is used for requesting the current group number of each preset group.

In step S630, the group maintenance server returns the current group population of each preset group to the group entry server.

In step S640, the group entering server updates the group population of each preset group in the designated storage space according to the current group population of each preset group.

The group entering server updates the information of the number of group persons in each preset group in the designated storage space periodically through the steps S620 to S640.

In step S650, the client scans the entry two-dimensional code corresponding to the group entry, and sends a group information acquisition request to the group entry server.

Correspondingly, the group entering server receives a group entering information acquisition request sent by the client.

In step S660, the group entering server obtains the population number of each preset group from the specified storage space in response to the group entering information obtaining request.

In step S670, candidate preset groups whose group number does not exceed the first threshold are selected from the plurality of preset groups.

In step S680, if the number of candidate preset groups is 0, the first threshold is updated, and the above step S670 is performed again based on the updated first threshold.

In step S690, if the number of the candidate preset groups is not 0, the candidate preset groups are smoothly arranged from large to small according to the number of groups, and one target preset group is selected from the n arranged in front.

In step S6110, group entering information is generated according to the group name and the group entering two-dimensional code of the target preset group, and the group entering information is returned to the client

In step S6120, after receiving the group entering information, the client assembles a page according to the group name and the group entering two-dimensional code, and displays the page to the user.
