Detailed Description

In order to make the technical solutions of the present disclosure better understood by those of ordinary skill in the art, the technical solutions in 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 above-described drawings are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the disclosure described herein are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

The account information (including but not limited to device information of the account, personal information of the account, etc.), related data, etc. referred to in the present disclosure are information authorized by the account or authorized by each party.

The embodiment of the disclosure is applied to a live broadcast scene, and relates to interaction between a client and a server of an account in a live broadcast room, and the following content is specific content of the control method for the live broadcast room and the group session provided by the embodiment of the disclosure.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling a live broadcast and a group session, which may be applied to a server according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, the method for controlling a live broadcast and a group session includes the following steps.

In step S11, a group session creation message sent by the first client is received.

Wherein the group session creation message is generated when the first client displays an interface of a first live broadcast room. For example, the first client receives a group session creation operation while displaying an interface of the first live room, and generates a group session creation message in response to the group session creation operation.

In addition, the interface of the first live room may display a first control, and the group session creation operation may be an operation (e.g., a click operation, a drag operation) on the first control.

Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first client may be a client of the anchor account of the first live broadcast room, and may also be a client of an account other than the anchor account among accounts in the first live broadcast room. That is, in embodiments of the present disclosure, a group session within a live broadcast may be initiated by a anchor account of the live broadcast or by an account other than the anchor account.

In step S12, at least one group session is created in response to the group session creation message.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first client may select to create one group session or may select to create a plurality of group sessions. For example, after the first client receives the create group session operation, a group session configuration window may be displayed so that the user may input the number of group sessions to be created in the group session configuration window. It can be understood that, in the group session configuration window, identification information (for example, a name) of each group session to be created may also be input, so that the group session creation message generated by the first client may carry the number of group sessions and the identification information of the group sessions, so that the server may create the group session according to the number of group sessions and the identification information of the group sessions.

In step S13, the identification information and the first indication information of the at least one group session are sent to the first client.

When the group session creating message carries the identification information of the group session, the "identification information of the group session" in step S13 may be the identification information of the group session carried in the group session creating message. When the group session creation message does not carry the identification information of the group session, the server may randomly allocate an identification information to each created group session, and in this case, the "identification information of the group session" in step S13 is the identification information randomly allocated by the server.

In addition, the first indication information is used for indicating that a group session entrance is displayed in an interface of the first live broadcast room according to the identification information of the at least one group session. Therefore, after receiving the identification information and the first indication information of the at least one group session, the first client displays a group session entry in the interface of the first direct-broadcasting room according to the identification information of the at least one group session in response to the first indication information. The first client may display the identification information of the group session in a list form, and use the identification information of the group session as an entry of the group session, so that clients of accounts other than the account of the first client in the account of the first live broadcast room may enter the corresponding group session based on the entry of the group session.

In addition, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, one group session corresponds to one portal, that is, one group session can be entered based on one portal.

As can be seen from the above, according to the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first client displays the interface of the first live broadcast room, a group session creation message may be generated and sent to the server, so that the server creates at least one group session in response to the group session creation message, and sends identification information of the created group session and the first indication information to the first client, so that the first client displays an entry of the created group session on the interface of the first live broadcast room in response to the first indication information according to the identification information of the created group session. Therefore, some accounts in the first live broadcast room except the account of the first client can enter one group session based on the entrance of the group session, so that private chat can be performed between the accounts in the first live broadcast room through the group session without switching to interfaces of other communication application programs, the operation process of private chat performed between the accounts in the live broadcast rooms is simplified, and the interaction efficiency is improved.

And after receiving the identification information of the at least one group session and the first indication information, the second client responds to the first indication information and displays a group session entry in an interface of the first direct-broadcasting room according to the identification information of the at least one group session.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the disclosure, after the server creates at least one group session, the identification information and the first indication information of the group sessions may be further sent to the clients, except the client before the first client, of the clients of the account of the first live room, so that the clients may also display a group session entry on an interface of the first live room, and thus a user may see that the group session capable of private chat is created in the live room in the first live interface.

In this embodiment, there is no limitation on joining the created group session, and any account in the first live broadcast room may join the group session.

For example, the first live broadcast includes A, B, C, D, E five accounts, where if the client of account a initiates the group session creation, it needs to select an account meeting preset conditions from the accounts B, C, D, E, for example, where the account D, E meets the preset conditions, and the account B, C does not meet the preset conditions, the server only sends the identification information of the at least one group session and the first indication information to the client of the account D, E, but does not send the identification information of the at least one group session and the first indication information to the account B, C.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the second client that meets the preset condition receives the identification information of the at least one group session and the first indication information sent by the server, that is, the group session entry can only be displayed on the interface of the first live broadcast room of the second client that meets the preset condition, that is, the group session entry cannot be displayed on the first live broadcast interface of the second client that does not meet the preset condition.

It should be noted here that, when a plurality of group sessions need to be created at a time, a preset condition (i.e., an in-group restriction condition) may be set for some of the group sessions, and no preset condition may be set for the rest of the group sessions.

For example, after receiving the group session creation operation, the first client may display a group session configuration interface, and at this time, the user may set the number of group sessions, the identification information, and the group entry restriction condition in the group session configuration interface, and further generate a group session creation message carrying the number of group sessions, the identification information, and the group entry restriction condition, and send the group session creation message to the server. And after receiving the group session establishing message, the server establishes the group session according to the number of the group sessions and the identification information.

For the group session without the group entry restriction condition, the server may send the identification information and the first indication information of the group session without the group entry restriction condition to the clients, except the first client, of all the clients of the account in the first live broadcast room, respectively, so that the entry of the group session without the group entry condition is displayed on the first live broadcast interfaces of the clients.

For the group session with the group entry limiting condition, the server side selects the client sides meeting the group entry limiting condition from the accounts in the first live broadcast room, and respectively sends the identification information of the group session meeting the group entry limiting condition and the identification information of the group session without the group entry limiting condition, so that the entries of the group sessions are displayed on the first live broadcast interfaces of the client sides.

The accumulated quantity of the virtual resources represents the attention degree to the anchor account of the first live broadcast room, and the larger the accumulated quantity of the virtual resources is, the larger the attention degree to the anchor account of the first live broadcast room is; the association may include an attention anchor account.

As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the limitation condition for joining the group session may also be set according to the activity degree of the account of the second client in the first live broadcast room.

For example, a main account of a live broadcast room may choose to establish a group session with a restriction during the live broadcast, for example, when the cumulative amount of virtual resources allocated by an account in the live broadcast room exceeds a first preset threshold, the account is allowed to enter the group, and even before the cumulative amount exceeds the first preset threshold, the account not meeting the restriction is not allowed to see the entrance of the group session. After the account distributes the virtual resources to the live broadcast room, the server automatically judges whether the total amount of the virtual resources currently distributed to the live broadcast room by the account reaches a group session group entering condition created by the current main broadcast, judges whether the account is already in the group session, if the account is not in the group session and the group entering condition is met, the server automatically sends the information to the client of the account, and at the moment, the client actively pulls the server interface to acquire the identification information of the group session, so that the client displays the group session entrance. The user can click the entrance of the group session to carry out group entry application at this time, and can enter the group session after the anchor account is checked to pass.

In a possible implementation manner, the sending, to the second client that satisfies a preset condition, the identification information of the at least one group session and the first indication information includes:

Therefore, when it is detected that a certain second client meets the preset condition, a notification message that the certain second client meets the preset condition can be sent to the certain second client, so that the second client meeting the preset condition can automatically pull the identification information and the first indication information of the group session from the server, and further, the second client can respond to the first indication information and display the group session entry in the interface of the first live broadcast according to the pulled identification information of the group session.

It can be understood that, the specific process of the server sending the identification information of the at least one group session and the first indication information to the second client that meets the preset condition is not limited thereto. For example, when detecting that a second client satisfies a preset condition, the server may actively send the identification information of the at least one group session and the first indication information to the second client, that is, the server may directly push the identification information of the created group session and the first indication information to the second client satisfying the preset condition without notifying the second client.

after creating at least one group session, the method further comprises:

The identification information of the second client carried in the group session creation message is identification information of the client needing to join the account in the created group session.

In addition, when receiving a second selection operation on an account of a second client in the first live broadcast, the first client may respond to the second selection operation, so that the identification information of the second client selected by the second selection operation is carried in the group session creation message and sent to the server.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first client sends the group session creation message to the server, the identification information of at least one second client may be carried, that is, when the first client requests the server to create the group session, the first client may also send the selected identification information of the second client that needs to join in the group session to the server together, so that after the server creates the group session, the server may automatically push the created identification information of the group session and the first indication information, so that the second clients may respond to the first indication information, display a group session entry in an interface of the first direct broadcasting room according to the pulled identification information of the group session, and further join in the corresponding group session based on the group session entry.

In one possible embodiment, after sending the identification information of the at least one group session and the first indication information to the second client, the method further includes:

receiving a group session joining message sent by a second client, wherein the second client is a client other than the first client in the clients joining the account of the first live broadcast room, the group session joining message is generated after the second client receives a first selection operation on at least one group session entrance, and the group session joining message carries identification information of a group session associated with the group session entrance selected by the first selection operation;

and responding to the group session joining message, and joining the account of the second client, which sends the group session joining message, into the group session represented by the identification information carried in the group session joining message.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, after receiving a first selection operation on at least one group session entry, a second client generates a group session joining message carrying identification information of a group session associated with the selected group session entry, and then sends the group session joining message to a server, so that the server joins an account of the second client to a corresponding group session according to the identification information of the group session carried in the group session joining message, so that the second client can subsequently receive messages in the group session.

After the server adds the second client to a group session, a notification message may be sent to the second client to inform the account of the second client to which group session the second client is added.

In addition, it can be understood that, after the server receives the join group session message sent by the second client, the server may further send the join group session message to the first client, where the join group session message further carries identification information of the second client, so that, after receiving an authorized group entry instruction returned by the first client (that is, a user of the first client confirms that the second client agrees to group entry), the server adds an account of the second client into the corresponding group session.

Therefore, after at least one second client joins the target group session, the client in one account in the target group session may initiate a second live broadcast in the target group session, so that the account in the target group session may be communicated in the second live broadcast.

The second control can be set in the interface of the target group session displayed by the third client, so that when an operation (for example, a click operation or a drag operation) on the second control is detected, a live broadcast establishment message carrying identification information of the target group session is generated and sent to the server, so that the server can establish a second live broadcast room, determine which accounts exist in the target group session according to the identification information of the target group session carried in the live broadcast establishment message, and further send a second notification message initiated in the second live broadcast room to the client (i.e., a fourth client) of an account other than the account of the third client in the accounts.

In a possible implementation, after sending the second notification message to the fourth client, the method further includes:

receiving a request message for entering a live broadcast room sent by at least one fourth client, wherein the request message for entering the live broadcast room carries identification information of the second live broadcast room;

responding to the request message for entering the live broadcast room, and adding the fourth client end which sends the request message of the live broadcast room into the second live broadcast room.

After receiving the second notification message broadcast by the second live broadcast room, the fourth client may display a third control on the fourth client, where the third control is used to indicate an entry of the second live broadcast room, and thus, when detecting an operation (for example, a click operation or a drag operation) on the third control, the fourth client may generate a request message for entering the live broadcast room, where the request message carries identification information of the second live broadcast room, and send the request message to the server, so that the server may add an account of the fourth client to the second live broadcast room according to the identification information of the second live broadcast room, where the request message for entering the live broadcast room carries the identification information of the second live broadcast room, and thus, the fourth client may display a picture of the second live broadcast room.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the disclosure, in the group session created in the first live broadcast room, the second live broadcast room in the group session can be initiated again, and the accounts in the group session can be added into the second live broadcast room for communication, so that convenience of private communication of part of the accounts in the first live broadcast room is further improved.

In a possible implementation, after the second live broadcast room is established, the method further includes:

Wherein the advance label may be a character or a graphic for indicating "live broadcasting".

In addition, the second live broadcast room is initiated inside the target group session, so that a preset tag can be displayed in an interface of the target group session to indicate that the target group session is live broadcast, and an account in the target group session can know the dynamic state in the group session in time.

In a possible implementation manner, after the fourth client sending the live broadcast request message joins the second live broadcast, the method further includes:

receiving a request message for closing the live broadcast room, which is sent by the third client, wherein the request message for closing the live broadcast room carries identification information of the second live broadcast room;

closing the second live broadcast room in response to the live broadcast room closing request message;

and sending a third notification message to the client of the account in the target group session, wherein the third notification message is used for indicating that the second live broadcast room is closed.

The third client may display a fourth control on an interface of the second live broadcast room, where the fourth control is used as a closing control of the second live broadcast room, so that when the third client detects an operation (for example, a click operation or a drag operation) on the fourth control, a live broadcast room closing request message carrying identification information of the second live broadcast room is generated, and the live broadcast room closing request message is sent to the server, so that the server closes the second live broadcast room, and sends a third notification message of closing the second live broadcast room to the client of the account in the target group session. Thereafter, the client of the account in the target group session no longer displays the view of the second live room.

In one possible embodiment, the method further comprises:

Therefore, in the embodiment of the disclosure, if the second live broadcast room is closed, the preset tag displayed in the interface of the target group session may be cleared, that is, not displayed any more, so that the account in the target group session can timely know the dynamics in the group session.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a live broadcast room and group session, which may be applied to a first client, according to an example embodiment. As shown in fig. 2, the method for controlling a live broadcast and a group session includes the following steps.

In step S21, a group session creation operation is received while the interface of the first live room is displayed.

The interface of the first live broadcast room may display a first control, and the group session creation operation may be an operation (e.g., a click operation, a drag operation) on the first control.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first client may be a client of a anchor account of the first live broadcast room, and may also be a client of an account other than the anchor account among accounts in the first live broadcast room. That is, in embodiments of the present disclosure, a group session within a live broadcast may be initiated by a anchor account of the live broadcast or by an account other than the anchor account.

In step S22, a group session creation message is generated in response to the group session creation operation.

In step S23, the group session creation message is sent to the server.

In step S24, the identification information and the first indication information of at least one group session sent by the server are received.

When the group session creating message carries the identification information of the group session, the "identification information of the group session" in step S24 may be the identification information of the group session carried in the group session creating message. When the group session creation message does not carry the identification information of the group session, the server may randomly allocate an identification information to each created group session, and in this case, the "identification information of the group session" in step S24 is the identification information randomly allocated by the server.

In step S25, in response to the first indication information, a group session entry is displayed in the interface of the first live broadcast room according to the identification information of the at least one group session.

The first indication information is used for indicating that a group session entrance is displayed in an interface of the first live broadcast room according to the identification information of the at least one group session. Therefore, after receiving the identification information and the first indication information of the at least one group session, the first client displays a group session entry in the interface of the first direct-broadcasting room according to the identification information of the at least one group session in response to the first indication information. The first client may display the identification information of the group session in a list form, and use the identification information of the group session as an entry of the group session, so that clients of accounts other than the account of the first client in the account of the first live broadcast room may enter the corresponding group session based on the entry of the group session.

In a possible implementation manner, the sending the group session creation message to a server includes:

Therefore, when receiving a second selection operation on an account of a second client in the first direct broadcasting session, the first client may respond to the second selection operation, so that the identification information of the second client selected by the second selection operation is carried in the group session creation message and sent to the server.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first client sends the group session creation message to the server, the identification information of at least one second client may be carried, that is, when the first client requests the server to create the group session, the first client may also send the selected identification information of the second client that needs to join the group session to the server together, so that after the server creates the group session, the server may automatically push the created identification information of the group session and the first indication information, so that the second clients may respond to the first indication information, display a group session entry in an interface of the first live room according to the pulled identification information of the group session, and further join the corresponding group session based on the group session entry.

In one possible implementation, after displaying a group session entry in the interface of the first live room, the method further includes:

sending the live broadcast establishment message to the server;

and displaying an interface of the second live broadcast room.

It can be seen that if the account of the first client is in the target group session, it can also initiate a second live broadcast in the target group session, so that the account in the target group session can be exchanged in the second live broadcast.

If a second control can be set in the interface of the target group session displayed by the first client, the live broadcast establishing operation may be an operation (for example, a click operation or a drag operation) on the second control.

In addition, after receiving the live broadcast establishment message, the server may establish a second live broadcast room, determine which accounts exist in the target group session according to the identification information of the target group session carried in the live broadcast establishment message, and send a second notification message initiated in the second live broadcast room to the clients of the accounts except the account of the first client.

receiving second indication information sent by the server;

receiving closing operation of the second live broadcast room;

responding to the closing operation, and generating a request message for closing the live broadcast room, wherein the request message for closing the live broadcast room carries identification information of the second live broadcast room;

sending the request message for closing the live broadcast room to the server;

and closing the interface of the second live broadcast room.

The fourth control may be displayed on the interface of the second live broadcast displayed by the first client, so as to be used as a closing control of the second live broadcast, and the closing operation may be an operation (for example, a click operation or a drag operation) on the fourth control.

In addition, after the first client sends the request message for closing the live broadcast room to the server, the server may close the second live broadcast room and send a third notification message for closing the second live broadcast room to the client of the account in the target group session. Thereafter, the client of the account in the target group session no longer displays the view of the second live room.

In one possible embodiment, the method further comprises:

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a live room and group session, which may be applied to a second client, according to an example embodiment. The second client is a client except the first client in the clients joining the account of the first live broadcast room. As shown in fig. 3, the method for controlling a live broadcast and a group session includes the following steps.

Step S31: and receiving the identification information and the first indication information of at least one group session sent by the server.

The at least one group session is created after the server receives a group session creation message sent by the first client, and the group session creation message is generated when the first client displays an interface of the first live broadcast room. For example, the first client receives a group session creation operation while displaying an interface of the first live room, and generates a group session creation message in response to the group session creation operation. Specifically, the interface of the first live broadcast room may display a first control, and the group session creation operation may be an operation (e.g., a click operation, a drag operation) on the first control.

In addition, after receiving the group session creation message sent by the first client, the server may create at least one group session. The first client may select to create one group session or may select to create a plurality of group sessions. For example, after the first client receives the create group session operation, a group session configuration window may be displayed so that the user may input the number of group sessions to be created in the group session configuration window. It can be understood that, in the group session configuration window, identification information (for example, a name) of each group session to be created may also be input, so that the group session creation message generated by the first client may carry the number of group sessions and the identification information of the group sessions, so that the server may create the group session according to the number of group sessions and the identification information of the group sessions.

When the identification information of the group session is carried in the group session creation message, the "identification information of the group session" in step S31 may be the identification information of the group session carried in the group session creation message. When the group session creation message does not carry the identification information of the group session, the server may randomly allocate an identification information to each created group session, and in this case, the "identification information of the group session" in step S31 is the identification information randomly allocated by the server.

Step S32: and responding to the first indication information, and displaying a group session entrance in an interface of the first live broadcast room according to the identification information of the at least one group session.

The first indication information is used for indicating that a group session entrance is displayed in an interface of the first live broadcast room according to the identification information of the at least one group session. Therefore, after receiving the identification information of the at least one group session and the first indication information, the second client responds to the first indication information and displays a group session entry in the interface of the first direct-broadcasting room according to the identification information of the at least one group session. The second client may display the identification information of the group session in a list form, and use the identification information of the group session as an entry of the group session, so that the second client may enter the corresponding group session based on the entry of the group session.

receiving a first selection operation of at least one displayed group session entrance;

responding to the first selection operation, and generating a joining session group message, wherein the joining session message carries identification information of a group session associated with the group session entry selected by the first selection operation;

and sending the joining group session message to the server.

In a possible implementation manner, the receiving, by the server, the identification information and the first indication information of the at least one group session, includes:

Therefore, after the second client joins the target group session, the client in one account in the target group session may initiate the second live broadcast room in the target group session, so that the account in the target group session may communicate in the second live broadcast room.

The method comprises the steps that a second control can be arranged in an interface of a target group session displayed by a first client, so that when operation (such as clicking operation or dragging operation) on the second control is detected, a live broadcast establishment message carrying identification information of the target group session is generated and sent to a server, the server can establish a second live broadcast room, accounts of the target group session are determined according to the identification information of the target group session carried in the live broadcast establishment message, and then a second notification message started in the second live broadcast room is sent to a client (namely a fourth client) of an account of the accounts except for an account of a third client.

receiving an entry operation to an entry of the second live broadcast room;

responding to the entering operation, and generating a live broadcast room entering request message, wherein the request message entering the live broadcast room carries identification information of the second live broadcast room;

sending the live broadcast room entering request message to the server;

and receiving the picture of the second live broadcast room sent by the server, and displaying the picture of the second live broadcast room.

After the second client displays the entry of the second live broadcast room, a third control element can be displayed on the first client to indicate the entry of the second live broadcast room, so that the second client can generate a live broadcast room entry request message carrying identification information of the second live broadcast room when detecting an entry operation (for example, a click operation or a drag operation) to the third control element, and send the live broadcast room entry request message to the server, so that the server can add an account of the second client to the second live broadcast room according to the identification information of the second live broadcast room carried in the live broadcast room entry request message, and thus, a picture of the second live broadcast room can be displayed on the second client.

receiving second indication information sent by the server;

In one possible implementation, after displaying the picture of the second live broadcast room, the method further includes:

receiving a third notification message sent by the server;

and closing the picture of the second live broadcast room in response to the third notification message.

When the second live broadcast room is closed, the server side can send a third notification message of closing the second live broadcast room to the client side of the account in the target group session. Thereafter, the client of the account in the target group session no longer displays the view of the second live room.

In one possible embodiment, the method further comprises:

To sum up, the specific implementation of the control method for a live broadcast room and a group session in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be as follows:

the method comprises the steps that when an interface of a first live broadcast room is displayed, a first client receives a group session establishing operation, and accordingly responds to the group session establishing operation, a group session establishing message is generated and sent to a server; the server creates the group session according to the group session creation message, and returns the identification information and the first indication information of the created group session to the first client, so that the entry of the created group session can be displayed on the first live interface of the first client.

After the server creates the group session, the server may also send the identification information and the first indication information of the created group session to the clients of all accounts in the first live broadcast room, or send the identification information and the first indication information of the created group session to the clients of the accounts meeting the preset conditions in the first live broadcast room, so as to display the entries of the created group session on the first live broadcast interfaces of the clients.

In addition, if the client of the account not in the group session can display the entry of the group session, the account can generate a message for joining the group session when the click operation on the entry of the group session is detected, and send the message to the server, so that the server joins the message into the corresponding group session.

Thereafter, for any one of the group sessions created in the above process, a new live broadcast may be initiated within the group. Taking the example of initiating the second live broadcast in one of the target group sessions created in the above process as an example, the following description is made:

as shown in fig. 4, when a client of one account (for example, an anchor account) in a target group session receives a live broadcast establishment operation, a live broadcast establishment message is generated, and identification information of the target group session is carried in the live broadcast establishment message and sent to a live broadcast server; and after receiving the live broadcast establishment message, the live broadcast server generates identification information (such as a live broadcast room number) of the second live broadcast room and returns the identification information to the client initiating the live broadcast. At this time, the client initiating the live broadcast jumps to the second live broadcast room.

And then, the live broadcast server asynchronously calls a message sending interface of the IM group chat server, sends a card message in the target group session to represent the anchor broadcast, so that the push server is triggered to broadcast the card message to the client sides of all accounts in the target group session, and all the accounts in the target group session can enter a second live broadcast room through the card message.

Meanwhile, the live broadcast server can asynchronously call an update session tag interface of the IM session server, and tag the group session corresponding to the identification information (for example, the ID of the group session) of the target group session to indicate that the target group session is live broadcast. Wherein this tag can be set by the caller, i.e. the live service. Thereafter, the IM session server may query all the accounts in the target group session, and then sequentially update the session data information of the group corresponding to each account in the target group session, that is, add a tag to indicate that the target group session is live. And then, the IM session server side broadcasts the session information change behavior to all accounts in the target group session, so that the client sides of the accounts update the local session information after receiving the session information change behavior, and further displays a label indicating that the target group session is live when the interface of the group session is displayed, so that a user can actively enter the group session and click a corresponding live card message to enter a second live broadcast room for watching.

In addition, as shown in fig. 5, when the client of the anchor account receives a closing operation of the second live broadcast room, a live broadcast room closing request message carrying identification information of the second live broadcast room is sent to the live broadcast server, and at the same time, the live broadcast server asynchronously notifies the IM group chat server and sends a second live broadcast room closing message to the clients of all accounts in the target group session. And the live broadcast server asynchronously calls the IM session server to remove the labels of all accounts in the target group session (namely, the labels indicating that the target group session is live broadcast), and then asynchronously sends session label change information to the clients, so that the labels on the target group session interfaces of the clients disappear.

To sum up, the control method for a live broadcast room and a group session in the embodiment of the present disclosure enables an anchor to add own group chat information to a live broadcast chat room, and guides a fan to join in a group chat, perform in-group communication and subsequent in-group private live broadcast initiation (only a user in a group can see the in-group communication, and cannot forward the in-group communication to an outsider). Meanwhile, a group owner (namely an anchor) in the group chat can initiate a live chat in the group, members in the group can automatically receive a group message notification, mark a mark (such as an identifier 'in live') in a session list of the group session, automatically sense the progress of the anchor, and enter the group to click a live card message to jump to a private live room initiated by the anchor. In the live broadcast room, the anchor can also establish a group according to a certain rule, and the user behavior in the live broadcast room is informed that the user behavior can enter the group after meeting the conditions of the anchor.

Therefore, the embodiment of the disclosure enhances the association between the live broadcast room and the group conversation, and can improve the active degree of group chat and the rich degree of the play of the live broadcast room; the anchor initiates live broadcast in the group session, and can automatically have a privacy function, so that the privacy of audiences and user experience are improved; in addition, the user can sense which groups are in live broadcast activities in real time in the group session list, and the attention of the live broadcast room is increased.
