Fig. 4 illustrates a software configuration diagram in the intelligent control device 200 according to some embodiments. Referring to FIG. 4, in some embodiments, the system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom, an application layer (referred to as an "application layer"), an application framework layer (Application Framework layer) (referred to as a "framework layer"), a An Zhuoyun row (Android run) and a system library layer (referred to as a "system runtime layer"), and a kernel layer, respectively.

In some embodiments, at least one application program is running in the application program layer, and these application programs may be a Window (Window) program of an operating system, a system setting program, a clock program, or the like; or may be an application developed by a third party developer. In particular implementations, the application packages in the application layer are not limited to the above examples.

The framework layer provides an application programming interface (application programming interface, API) and programming framework for the application. The application framework layer includes a number of predefined functions. The application framework layer corresponds to a processing center that decides to let the applications in the application layer act. Through the API interface, the application program can access the resources in the system and acquire the services of the system in the execution.

As shown in fig. 4, the application framework layer in some embodiments of the present application includes a manager (manager), a Provider (Content Provider), a network management system, etc., wherein the manager includes at least one of the following modules: an Activity Manager (Activity Manager) is used to interact with all activities that are running in the system; a Location Manager (Location Manager) is used to provide system services or applications with access to system Location services; a Package Manager (Package Manager) for retrieving various information about an application Package currently installed on the device; a notification manager (Notification Manager) for controlling the display and clearing of notification messages; a Window Manager (Window Manager) is used to manage icons, windows, toolbars, wallpaper, and desktop components on the user interface.

In some embodiments, to enhance the application experience of the display device, the display device may be configured with an online cinema function, such as a auditorium. The user can create a group in the television terminal showing hall, other users can join the group, and the users in the group can share the film and television playing and chat interaction.

When users chat through the group, the terminals adopted by each user need to call the same message service provider to realize instant messaging. A message service provider is a medium for implementing message sharing, including message services provided by third parties, e.g., instant messaging clients such as WeChat, QQ, etc., and the corresponding third party message service provider may then be Telecommunications.

However, since the display device is configured with a self-research message service provider (a message service developed by the system), when multiple users interact with each other in groups, the terminals used by different users may be different based on the message service provider called by the system version of the user, and at this time, the group chat function cannot realize message sharing.

Therefore, in order to ensure that display equipment of different versions are compatible with each other and realize message sharing, the application provides a server, and when different user terminals realizing group interaction are connected with different message service providers, the group interaction message realizes sharing, namely message migration, so that message interaction among users calling different message service providers in the same group can be realized.

FIG. 5 illustrates a flow diagram of a message sharing method according to some embodiments; fig. 6 illustrates an interaction diagram of a message sharing method according to some embodiments. The embodiment of the application provides a server, which comprises: a controller configured to perform the following steps when performing the message sharing method shown in fig. 5 and 6:

s1, responding to a group creation request sent by a first terminal user and used for carrying out group interaction with a second terminal user, calling a first message service to create a first group, and calling a second message service to create a second group, wherein the first group and the second group have the same ID.

The device homepage of the display device is provided with a salon creation button, and a user can create a salon service by triggering the salon creation button. The auditorium service comprises a service room for playing the film and a message room for the local end user to invite other users to watch the film played in the service room together, and the users are communicated in groups.

The first terminal transmits a request for creating a auditorium to the server, creates a auditorium service, and then creates a chat room service based on an identification of the created auditorium service, the auditorium service and the chat room service being in one-to-one correspondence. Optionally, the chat room is created during the creation of the auditorium. After the establishment of the auditorium service is completed, the video playing interface of the first terminal displays a coding graph, and the coding graph is used for enabling the mobile terminal to access the chatting room service in a code scanning mode. Alternatively, the coding pattern may be a two-dimensional code, but is not limited to a two-dimensional code.

Fig. 7 illustrates an illustration of an interface intent of a auditorium in accordance with some embodiments. Referring to fig. 7, operations such as setting or modifying a name of a auditorium, adding a movie for video play, inviting friends, etc. may be performed at the interface. And the user can select the target film and enter a business room by triggering a film adding button, so that the playing of the target film is realized. The user activates the invite friends button, requesting the IM system to create a chat room (message room) and returns to the auditorium. The home end user may invite at least one user to enter the message room while the information of the auditorium is presented in the interface of the terminal used by the invited user. The invitation information includes a auditorium ID to characterize the business room the user needs to enter and the auditorium source of the message room. For example, an interface where a service room playing a target movie is located is presented in the interface of the opposite terminal, an interface where a message room is located is presented in the interface of the opposite terminal, and in the message room, each user can perform message interaction based on the target movie watched together.

In some embodiments, receiving an instruction from a user to initiate a chat room service while the auditorium service plays a movie; acquiring information of chat room business according to the unique identifier of the showing hall business; and generating and displaying a coding graph for representing the chat room service address according to the chat room service information.

In some embodiments, the code pattern is generated based on the chat room information after the first terminal successfully establishes the chat room. The chat room information comprises a URL address, equipment information of the first terminal and a chat room ID, wherein the equipment information comprises a display equipment ID of the first display equipment, and the display equipment ID is used for binding the applet account number with the display equipment.

When the second terminal receives the invitation information, if the second terminal receives the invitation, the second terminal sends a request of joining the auditorium to the server, wherein the request of joining the auditorium comprises the auditorium ID, and the server determines whether the second terminal meets the conditions of joining the auditorium when receiving the request of joining the auditorium sent by the second terminal. In some embodiments of the application, the number of auditoriums that a user joins at the same time is limited, such as one; the number of people on line is allowed to be limited, such as 200, at the same time in the auditorium. The conditions for joining the auditorium include the number of auditoriums that have been joined at present, whether the number of online users currently in the auditorium to be joined is full, and the like, and if the number of auditoriums that have been joined at present by the second terminal is within the allowable range and the number of online users currently in the auditorium to be joined is also not full, and the like, the second terminal conforms to the conditions for joining the auditorium. When the second terminal meets the condition of joining the auditorium, the server allows the second terminal to join the auditorium; otherwise, directly returning the business error code number to the second terminal, and giving corresponding prompt and guide to the second terminal user.

When the second terminal receives the invitation of the first terminal and successfully joins the showing hall, the server sends a video stream to the second terminal according to the video playing progress of a certain media resource on the first terminal. The second terminal receives the video stream and performs synchronous video playing with the first terminal, so that the first terminal user and the second terminal user can perform synchronous video watching. Optionally, the first terminal sends the video playing progress to the server. If the first terminal periodically sends the video playing progress to the server, the server corrects the video playing progress of all the second terminals in the showing hall, so that all the display devices in the showing hall can synchronously play videos, and further, the synchronous watching of users in the showing hall is ensured.

The terminal used by the user creating the auditorium and the invited user at the home terminal can be a mobile phone or a display device. When each user performs film viewing and message interaction based on the same auditorium service, it is necessary to determine whether the system versions of the terminals used by each user are the same. If the system versions of the terminals used by all the users are the same, all the users can directly realize group interaction in the same message room; if the system versions of the terminals used by the users are different, the message service providers called by the terminals used by the users are different. Then the present application may create multiple groups based on the same auditorium based on different messaging service providers in order to facilitate the ability of individual users connected to the different messaging service providers to still achieve group interactions.

When the terminal user needs to interact with other terminal users based on the same auditorium, when the local terminal user triggers an 'invite friend' button displayed in an interface of the auditorium, a group creation request is generated based on information such as an account number, a group name, a user ID, a message service provider, a group ID and the like of the first terminal user so as to create a group chat for realizing the first terminal user and the second terminal user. Wherein the first terminal user is the terminal user (home terminal user) for creating the group chat, and the display device used by the first terminal user is the first terminal; the second terminal user is the other terminal user joining the group to interact with the first terminal user, and the display device used by the second terminal user is the second terminal.

In order to realize group message interaction under multiple message service providers connected based on terminals used by different users in the same auditorium, the application can create different groups based on different message service providers, and the different groups call different message services to create. Thus, after the first terminal user generates the group creation request, the group creation request may be sent to the server based on the first terminal to enable creation of the group by the server.

After receiving the group creation request from the first terminal, the server may create a corresponding group based on different message service providers, call a first message service to create a first group V1, and call a second message service to create a second group V2. Wherein the first message service may be any one of a third party message service provider and a self-research message provider and the second message service may be the other one of the third party message service provider and the self-research message provider.

For example, the server may invoke a third party messaging service provider to create a first group V1, invoke a self-lapping messaging service provider to create a second group V2, or the server may invoke a self-lapping messaging service provider to create a first group V1, invoke a third party messaging service provider to create a second group V2.

In order to ensure that messages of end users connected with different message service providers can be shared in a group created by a first end user, the first group and the second group can be configured with the same ID to represent the first group and the second group as a group with an association relationship.

The first group and the second group have respective group tags in addition to having ID identifications characterizable as being groups having an association relationship, so as to distinguish the first group from the second group. The first group is tagged with a first tag and the second group is tagged with a second tag to indicate by the tag from which group the end user that generated the interactive message came, and from which group the end user that received the interactive message came, i.e. to distinguish between the end user that sent the interactive message and the end user that received the interactive message.

The first group and the second group are two groups from the group number, but each user in the two groups (V1, V2) is seemingly in one group (i.e. the group created by the first end user operating the "invite friend" button provided by the lobby service created by the first end user), so that to ensure the message interaction between the two groups V1, V2, an ID mark representing that the first group and the second group have an association relationship is configured for establishing the association of the first group and the second group.

In some embodiments, the first group V1 and the second group V2 exist based on the same message room under the same auditorium. When creating a group based on an operation of the first terminal user, the server may create a first group V1 and a second group V2 in advance based on respective message service providers at the same time after receiving a group creation request transmitted from the first terminal. The number of groups created by the server is the same as the types of message service providers called by different display devices, and if three message service providers exist, three groups V1, V2 and V3 are correspondingly created synchronously. And then when the group interaction is carried out, the first terminal user and the second terminal user can respectively join corresponding groups (V1 and V2) based on the message service provider called by the adopted display equipment, so as to realize the group interaction.

In some embodiments, when the server simultaneously creates the first group V1 and the second group V2 in advance, the corresponding first message service may be invoked directly based on the system version information of the first terminal to create the first group V1. After successful creation the first end user joins the first group V1 and the end user who also invokes the first message service also joins the first group V1. After the creation of the first group V1 is completed, a corresponding second group V2 is created based on the remaining message service providers. When there is a terminal that also invokes the message service provider corresponding to the second group V2, the end user joins the second group V2.

In some embodiments, when creating a group based on the operation of the first terminal user, the server may first call the message service provider connected by the first terminal to create a corresponding first group V1 after receiving the group creation request sent by the first terminal, and after the creation is successful, the first terminal user joins in the first group V1. And when the second terminal user joins the corresponding chat group based on the auditorium ID, calling a message service provider connected with the second terminal to create a corresponding second group V2, and joining the second terminal user into the second group V2 after the creation is successful.

The message service provider invoked for determining the different display devices may be determined based on system version information for the different display devices. Thus, when the server creates a corresponding group based on different end users in real time, the controller, upon executing the call to the first message service to create a first group and the call to the second message service to create a second group, is further configured to perform the steps of:

and 11, responding to a group creation request, acquiring first system version information of a first terminal used by a first terminal user, calling a first message service corresponding to the first system version information, and creating a first group.

And step 12, responding to a joining request sent by the second terminal user for joining the first group, and acquiring second system version information of a second terminal used by the second terminal user.

And step 13, if the second message service corresponding to the second system version information is inconsistent with the first message service corresponding to the first system version information, calling the second message service corresponding to the second system version information, and creating a second group.

Step 14, respectively configuring identical ID identifiers for the first group and the second group, wherein the ID identifiers are used for representing the first group and the second group as groups with association relations.

Because the corresponding system versions may be different between different terminals and between different display devices, and the message services supportable by the different system versions may also be different, the message service provider invoked by the corresponding display device may be determined based on the system version information of the different display devices, and then a corresponding group may be created based on the invoked message service provider.

After a first terminal user operates a first terminal to generate a group creation request and sends the group creation request to a server, the server receives the group creation request and acquires first system version information of the first terminal. The first system version information includes information such as a system version and a message service ID. Thus, the server may determine the message service provider invoked by the first terminal based on the first system version information.

Upon determining, based on the first system version information, that the message service provider invoked by the first terminal is the first message service, the server may invoke the first message service (i.e., the message service provider invoked by the first terminal) to create the first group. After the first group creation is completed, the first end user joins the first group V1, and other end users that also invoke the first messaging service join the first group V1. The first message service being a first message service may be any one of a third party message service provider and a self-research message provider.

After the first terminal user creates a group based on the first terminal, other terminal users can join the group based on the group name. Then, when the second end user joins the group, a join request is generated and sent to the server. And the server receives a joining request sent by the second terminal and acquires second system version information of the second terminal.

If the message service provider invoked by the second terminal is the same as the message service provider invoked by the first terminal, the first and second end users may interact with the group directly based on the first group V1 that has been created. At this time, both the first terminal user and the second terminal user join the first group V1, and message sharing can be achieved without message forwarding.

If the message service provider invoked by the second terminal is not the same as the message service provider invoked by the first terminal, then to ensure that the users at both ends are able to interact, a matching second group needs to be created again. At this time, the server may determine a message service provider invoked by the second terminal based on the second system version information of the second terminal.

Upon determining, based on the second system version information, that the message service provider invoked by the second terminal is a second message service, the server may invoke the second message service (i.e., the message service provider invoked by the second terminal) to create a second group. After the creation of the second group is completed, the second end user joins the second group V2, and at the same time, other end users who also invoke the second message service join the second group V2. The second message service may be the other of the third party message service provider and the self-research message provider.

In order to ensure the message interaction between the two groups V1 and V2, respectively configuring ID identifiers for representing the association relationship between the first group and the second group so as to establish the association between the first group and the second group; meanwhile, corresponding labels are configured for the first group and the second group respectively so as to distinguish the source party and the delivery party of the interactive message. Message sharing may be performed between end users in two groups having the same ID identification. In the same group, the message service providers invoked by the respective terminal display devices are the same.

In some embodiments, to facilitate each first end user receiving messages after the respective end user joins the first group, the first group messages of the first message service may be subscribed to by the respective first terminal. Then after the first message service receives the interaction message from one of the end users in the first group, the interaction message may be forwarded to the other individual end users in the first group so that the individual end users in the first group achieve message sharing.

Similarly, after each end user joins the second group, the second group messages of the second message service may be subscribed to by the respective second terminal for each second end user to receive the messages. Then after the second messaging service receives the interaction message from one of the end users in the second group, the interaction message may be forwarded to the other individual end users in the second group so that the individual end users in the second group achieve message sharing.

In some embodiments, the implementation of subscribing to group information may be the invocation of an interface of a message service provider by a terminal, enabling the sending and receiving of messages based on the protocol of the message service provider. The implementation manner of subscribing the group message of each message service provider by the subsequent virtual user can also refer to this manner, and will not be described in detail.

S2, creating virtual users for realizing message forwarding, wherein the virtual users respectively join the first group and the second group.

Because the IDs of the first group and the second group are identical, the end users are seemingly in one group, i.e. in the same group from the perspective perceived by the end users, but in reality the message flows are between different groups. Thus, to ensure that message interaction is possible between the respective end users in the two groups V1, V2, the server creates virtual users for implementing message forwarding synchronously after creating the first group and the second group.

When creating a virtual user, group information of the created group is acquired, wherein the group information comprises group ID, group name, message service provider, user ID, label and the like of each group. Based on the group information, a virtual user is created.

In some embodiments, the creation timing of the virtual user may be synchronous creation when the group is created, or may be created after the group is created.

In some embodiments, if the server creates the group by creating the first group V1 and the second group V2 in advance, the server creates the virtual user at the same time as creating the first group V1 and the second group V2, or creates the virtual user after creating the first group V1 and the second group V2 is completed, and at this time, the obtained group information is total group information corresponding to the first group and the second group. After the virtual user creation is completed, the virtual user joins the first group V1 and the second group V2, respectively.

In some embodiments, if the server creates the corresponding first group V1 by using a real-time manner of creating the corresponding first group V2 based on the message service provider invoked by the first terminal, and then creates the second group V2 when the second terminal user joins, the server creates the first group V1 at the same time when creating the virtual user, or creates the first group V1 after completing the creation of the first group V1, and at this time, the obtained group information is the group information of the first group. After the virtual user completes the creation, the first group V1 is added, and after the second group V2 completes the creation, the second group V2 is added.

The virtual users correspond to a message forwarding system for implementing message forwarding between the respective groups (V1, V2). Therefore, the virtual user needs to join the first group and the second group, respectively, that is, the virtual user is a user in the first group and a user in the second group.

The virtual user realizes message forwarding among groups by subscribing to the messages of each message service provider, namely, the virtual user needs to subscribe to the first group message of the first message service and the second group message of the second message service at the same time. The virtual user can receive the messages sent by the users in all groups connected to the first message service provider by subscribing to the messages of the first message service provider; likewise, a virtual user may receive messages sent by users within all groups connected to the second message service provider by subscribing to the second message service provider's messages.

S3, when the first terminal user joins the first group and the second terminal user joins the second group, the interactive information generated by the first terminal user based on the first group is forwarded to the second group through the virtual user, and the second terminal users in the second group can receive the interactive information generated by the first terminal user based on the first group.

After the creation of the group and the virtual user corresponding to different message service providers is completed, the first terminal user can obtain the group corresponding to the created auditorium ID, and then other terminal users can join in the group based on the group information corresponding to the auditorium ID so as to realize group interaction with the first terminal user.

Since the group to which the auditorium ID corresponds includes groups suitable for connecting to different message service providers, in determining the group each end user can join, it can be determined based on the message service provider invoked by the terminal used by the end user. Accordingly, upon determining that the first end user joins the first group, the controller is further configured to perform the following steps when the second end user joins the second group:

step 311, obtaining a target message service invoked by a first terminal used by a first terminal user, and a target message service invoked by a second terminal used by a second terminal user.

Step 312, if the target message service invoked by the first terminal is consistent with the first message service, determining that the first terminal user joins the first group.

Step 313, if the target message service invoked by the second terminal is consistent with the second message service, determining that the second terminal user joins the second group.

When a first terminal user and a second terminal user join each group, determining a target message service called by the first terminal used by the first terminal user based on first system version information of the first terminal, and determining a target message service called by the second terminal used by the second terminal based on second system version information of the second terminal.

And comparing the target message service of each terminal with the message service provider corresponding to each group, and if the matching is consistent, joining the matched terminal users into the corresponding groups. For example, if the target message service invoked by the first terminal is consistent with the first message service, determining that the first terminal user joins the first group; if the target message service invoked by the second terminal is consistent with the second message service, determining that the second terminal user joins the second group.

After each end user joins the first group or the second group, respectively, each end user may interact in the auditorium created by the home end user. And the message interaction among the groups is forwarded by the virtual user, namely when the first terminal user generates the interaction message based on the first group, the interaction message is forwarded to the second group through the virtual user, and at the moment, all the second terminal users in the second group receive the interaction message generated by the first terminal user based on the first group, so that message sharing among the terminal users is realized.

Specifically, in message forwarding with the virtual user, the controller, upon performing forwarding of the interactive message generated by the first end user based on the first group to the second group through the virtual user, is further configured to perform the steps of:

step 321, after the first end user sends the interactive message generated based on the first group to the first message service, the interactive message sent by the first message service is received, where the first message service is used to send the interactive message to each end user in the first group.

Step 322, forwarding the interactive message to a second message service by using the virtual users located in both the first group and the second group, where the second message service is configured to send the interactive message to the second group, and each second terminal user in the second group may receive the interactive message.

The virtual user is arranged to receive messages from the first and second message services and the virtual user is located in both the first and second groups, whereby messages generated by respective end users between the two groups can be implemented by the virtual user.

FIG. 8 illustrates a schematic diagram of virtual user implementation message sharing, according to some embodiments. Referring to fig. 8, as individual end users interact based on the same auditorium's corresponding group, a first end user generates an interaction message within a first group and receives an interaction message from a second end user, who generates an interaction message within a second group and receives an interaction message from the first end user.

Referring again to fig. 6, when the first terminal user generates an interactive message in the first group, the first terminal sends a connection request to the first message service through the MQTT protocol, so as to send the interactive message to the first message service, where the request information includes information such as a group ID, a tag, a name, an interactive message, and the like. The interactive message is sent by the first message service to each end user in the first group so that each end user in the first group can receive the interactive message.

And the virtual user for realizing message forwarding exists in the first group, and the virtual user also exists in the second group, so that the virtual user forwards the interactive message to the second message service after receiving the interactive message sent by the first message service. The second message service sends the interactive message forwarded by the virtual user to the second group, so that each second terminal user in the second group can receive the interactive message. And forwarding the interactive message from the first group to the second group for one time so as to realize message sharing of each terminal user in each group corresponding to the same auditorium.

The group from which the terminal user generating the interactive message comes can be known through the tag, if the interactive message received by the virtual user carries the first tag, the terminal user generating the interactive message is determined to come from the first group, and further, the interactive message can be determined to need to be forwarded to the second group, so that the virtual user is prevented from forwarding the interactive message from the first group to the first group again.

Fig. 9 illustrates another interaction diagram of a message sharing method according to some embodiments. Referring to fig. 9, when the second terminal user generates an interactive message in the second group, the second terminal transmits a connection request to the second message service through the MQTT protocol to transmit the interactive message to the second message service, and the request information includes information such as a group ID, a tag, a name, an interactive message, and the like. The interactive message is sent by the second message service to each end user in the second group so that each end user in the second group can receive the interactive message.

And the second group has a virtual user for implementing message forwarding, and the virtual user also exists in the first group, so that the virtual user forwards the interactive message to the first message service after receiving the interactive message sent by the second message service. The first message service sends the interactive message forwarded by the virtual user to the first group, so that each first terminal user in the first group can receive the interactive message. And forwarding the interactive message from the second group to the first group for one time so as to realize message sharing of each terminal user in each group corresponding to the same auditorium.

In some embodiments, since the virtual user belongs to both groups V1, V2, and the virtual user can receive messages from both messaging services at the same time, when the virtual user forwards one group message to the other, the interactive message sent by the other group can still be received again. For example, after the virtual user receives the interactive message sent by the first message service and forwards the interactive message to the second message service, the virtual user still receives the interactive message for a second time when the second message service sends the interactive message to the second group. If the virtual user forwards the interaction information to the first group again, the virtual user will cause the terminal user in the first group to receive the interaction information twice, which causes confusion.

Therefore, in order to avoid the situation that the interactive message is repeatedly forwarded, the virtual user can add the virtual identification parameter to the interactive message after receiving the interactive message. Accordingly, the controller is further configured to perform the steps of:

step 331, when the virtual user forwards the interactive message to the second message service, adding a virtual identification parameter to the interactive message, where the virtual identification parameter is used to characterize that the virtual user has performed a forwarding action based on the interactive message.

Step 332, if the virtual user receives the interactive message with the virtual identification parameter, the interactive message with the virtual identification parameter is not forwarded for the second time.

In some embodiments, when a message in the first group is received by the virtual user through the first message service, a virtual identification parameter is added to the interactive message, and then the interactive message with the virtual identification parameter is forwarded to the second message service. When the second message service sends the interactive message with the virtual identification parameter to the second group, the virtual user receives the interactive message with the virtual identification parameter again.

Because the interactive message with the virtual identification parameter characterizes that the interactive message has performed a forwarding action, the virtual user does not forward the interactive message to the first message service after identifying the virtual identification parameter.

In some embodiments, when a message in the second group is received by the virtual user through the second message service, a virtual identification parameter is added to the interactive message, and then the interactive message with the virtual identification parameter is forwarded to the first message service. When the first message service sends the interactive message with the virtual identification parameter to the first group, the virtual user receives the interactive message with the virtual identification parameter again.

Because the interactive message with the virtual identification parameter characterizes that the interactive message has performed a forwarding action, the virtual user does not forward the interactive message to the second message service after identifying the virtual identification parameter.

In some embodiments, when the first terminal is a display device, the interactive message generated by the first terminal user in the first group may be a message, a picture or the like preset by the display device, and at this time, if the second terminal is a display device, the corresponding movie is played in a auditorium interface presented by the second terminal, and meanwhile, the received interactive message generated by the first terminal user is presented in the interface of the second terminal in the form of a bullet screen. If the second terminal is an intelligent terminal such as a mobile phone, the showing hall interface presented by the second terminal is divided into two parts, the upper part plays the corresponding film, and the lower part displays the chat window.

In some embodiments, when the first terminal is an intelligent terminal such as a mobile phone, the interactive message generated by the first terminal user in the first group may be a message such as a text, an expression, or a picture preset by the mobile phone, or may be manually edited and input by the user, and the sending of the preset message may refer to a display device end, which is not described herein. When the first terminal user carries out editing input through the mobile phone, the generated interactive message carries editing marks and sends the editing marks to the second terminal user. At this time, if the second terminal is a display device, only the corresponding movie is played in the auditorium interface presented by the second terminal, and the received interactive information generated by the first terminal user is not displayed. If the second terminal is an intelligent terminal such as a mobile phone, the showing hall interface presented by the second terminal is divided into two parts, the upper part plays the corresponding film, and the lower part displays the chat window.

In some embodiments, the display device side user may generate the interactive message by manual editing, and the display device side may present the interactive message from the cell phone side, for example in the form of a bullet screen, in an interface at the display device side.

It can be seen that, in the server provided in the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving a group creation request sent by a first terminal user, a first message service is invoked to create a first group, a second message service is invoked to create a second group, a virtual user for implementing message forwarding is created, and the same ID identifier is configured for the first group and the second group, where the virtual user joins the first group and the second group respectively. After the first terminal user generates the interactive message based on the first group, the interactive message is forwarded to the second group through the virtual user, and the second terminal users in the second group can all receive the interactive message generated by the first terminal user based on the first group, so that message sharing is realized. Therefore, the server can create the corresponding group based on different message services, and each terminal user joins the corresponding group based on the system version, so that message sharing is realized among the terminal users connected with different message services, the defect that each terminal user can realize message interaction in the group only through one message service is avoided, and the user experience is better.
