Detailed Description

For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.

In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments of the application. In the drawings, like reference numerals describe substantially similar components throughout the different views. Various specific embodiments of the application are described in sufficient detail below to enable those skilled in the art to practice the teachings of the application. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized or structural, logical, or electrical changes may be made to embodiments of the present application.

The social application disclosed by the invention not only comprises an online text/voice/video communication function between friends, but also comprises a function of making friends with strangers. In order to enable a user to quickly match strangers doing social contact in a short time, the invention provides a user matching method and a system, so that the user can find a suitable stranger social contact object in a short time, deepen social contact according to communication conditions, and further enlarge social contact circle.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a user matching method in a social application, which is applied to a client of a user terminal, according to a first embodiment of the present invention, where the method includes:

in step S100a, a user exposure entry of an application is displayed on a user terminal screen of a first user and user operations are monitored. In general, a social application includes a plurality of functions, each having a corresponding user exposure entry, and in some embodiments, a user may select a function in a main menu, and when the user selects a stranger friend-making function, display the user exposure entry of the application on a user terminal screen of a first user. In the following description, a user who actively makes friends to a stranger and searches for a social object is referred to as a first user, and other users who can make social contact with the first user are referred to as second users.

In step S110a, a second user request is sent to the server in response to the operation of the first user entering the user exposure portal. When a second user request is sent to the server, a connection process screen may be displayed in a display interface of the user terminal. Such as a continuously rotating bar, a dynamically repeating changing dotted line, etc. In one embodiment, a certain number of pictures preset inside are called, and the pictures are moved, enlarged or reduced according to a certain rule, so that the interestingness of the waiting process is increased, and the waiting boring is reduced.

Step S120a, receiving the second user video data sent by the server. The second user video data returned by the server side aiming at one second user request sent by the first user can be video data of one second user or video data of a plurality of second users. When the video data are the video data of the plurality of second users, the server orders the plurality of second users according to the matching degree with the first user, so that the client receives the video data of the second users and simultaneously receives the ordering of the video data of each second user.

Step S130a, determining second user video data to be currently played. When receiving a second user video data, the current second user video data is the second user video data to be played, and if receiving a plurality of second user video data, the highest current ranking is used as the second user video data to be played.

Step S140a, playing the video of the second user in the user exposure window and timing, and simultaneously collecting the video data of the first user and sending the video data to the server, and sending the video data to the second user through the server. And when the client plays the video data of the second user, the video of the first user is acquired by using the camera of the user terminal and is sent to the second user in the user exposure window. In one embodiment, the video of the second user and the current real-time video of the first user are played simultaneously on the user terminal screen of the first user.

Step S150a, monitoring whether the first user and the current second user both implement the acceptance operation within the preset time period. If both accept operations are performed, a communication connection request is transmitted to the second user at step S160 a. If not, at step S170a, it is checked whether there is currently video data of other second users, if so, it returns to step S130a, if not, or the number of other second users is less than a preset number, such as 2, it returns to step S110a.

In one embodiment, the cardiac identifier is displayed while the second user video is played in the user exposure window, and the first portion of the cardiac identifier is a click button corresponding to the first user performing an accept operation on the current second user, which may be implemented as a half heart shaped cardiac button. The second part of the cardiac mark is an acceptance mark corresponding to the current second user for receiving the message by the first user, and the second part of the cardiac mark can be implemented as another cardiac mark with a half heart shape, and the two half heart shapes are corresponding together to form a complete heart shape. The current first user and the second user do not click the heart button on the other side, the heart button is gray, and when any one side clicks the heart button, the half heart shape of the corresponding part changes to red. When the first user clicks the heart button, the first user is determined to implement the receiving operation on the current second user, and when the second user also clicks the heart button on the first user, the corresponding first user client receives the receiving message and lights the corresponding half heart shape. And when both parties click the heart button within a preset time period, the whole heart shape is lightened, and the successful pairing of the first user and the current second user is confirmed.

In one embodiment, when the user terminal of the first user plays the second user video, the invention further comprises a time progress bar in the screen for displaying the playing time of the current second user video, and the longest time period is determined, such as 3 seconds and 5 seconds, which is not more than 10 seconds at most, and if only one party clicks the heart button or neither party clicks the heart button in the time period, the next second user video is switched to play. Of course, if the first user can actively switch to play the next second user video. In one embodiment, to reduce memory usage of the user terminal, a second user video is deleted from the user terminal memory after it is switched. In one embodiment, for the purpose of playing continuity, when the number of second user videos which are not played in the memory of the user terminal is less than a preset number, a user request is sent to the server. For example, when the server side sends the video data of 5-10 second users at a time, when only 1-2 second users are not currently played, a user request is sent, so that the user side can continuously play the video of the second users to the first user.

In step S160a, a communication connection request is sent to the second user whose pairing is successful, and then the user matching process is ended. Wherein the communication connection may be different depending on the presence of the second user. For example, when the second user is in an online idle state, a video call connection request may be sent so that a video call may be established with the second user that is idle. When the second user is in an online busy state, a video call connection request can be sent, and the second user is waited to accept the video call connection request. In one embodiment, in order to quickly establish a social relationship with a second user, the present invention sets a time limit for waiting for the second user to be able to accept the video call connection request, counts time when the video call connection request is sent, and switches to play a new second user video when a count period (i.e., the set time limit) is reached without switching on the second user. Of course, the first user can actively switch to the new second user when the time limit is not reached, so that the overlong matching time is avoided.

In the foregoing method, when the first user and the second user perform the receiving operation on the other party, a friend adding request is also generated at the same time, and sent to the other party through the server. Corresponding to a first user, generating and sending a friend adding request to a server when the first user clicks a cardiac button, and sending the friend adding request to a second user through the server; when the second user clicks the cardiac button, the sent friend adding request is sent to the first user through the server, and when the client of the first user receives the friend adding request, the friend adding request is added into a message list of an interface and displayed so as to prompt the first user that the friend adding request exists currently.

In another embodiment, the user matching system records a second user that plays and has successfully paired, such as a second number of users that play videos daily, a number of users that successfully paired daily, a number of users that establish a social relationship after successful pairing daily, and so forth. In this embodiment, the user matching system is provided with a threshold number of users, for example, 20, that can play the video freely, and when the threshold number of users is exceeded, the first user cannot watch the video of the second user. Thus, the playing of the second user video in the execution step S140a includes the following steps as shown in fig. 2:

step S141a, querying the number of second users played by the first user.

Step S142a, determining whether the number of the second users played by the first user reaches a threshold, if so, locking the playing of the second user video on the user terminal in step S143a, and generating and displaying an unlocking reminding message in step S144 a. For example, stopping video playing, or using special effects such as mosaic to blur video pictures, or using specific pictures to replace current video pictures, and displaying unlocking reminding information on the current pictures, if the amount of expense required for unlocking is reminded, executing step S150a; if the number of the second users played by the first user does not reach the threshold, the second user video is played in step S145a, and step S150a is performed. In the embodiment, the threshold of establishing the social relationship with the stranger is improved through charging, so that the user can be promoted to establish the social relationship with the stranger with cautious and serious attitudes.

When the second user accepts the video call application of the first user, the first user and the second user establish video call, and at the moment, a video window, a text message window and an additional function area are provided on a video call interface. Two users can communicate through characters besides video conversation, and one benefit of the character communication is that for users in different languages, the translation plug-in integrated in the client can translate the message sent by the other party in real time, so that the method is very friendly and helpful for some users who wish to achieve language exercise through friend making. In another embodiment, the translation plug-in integrated in the client may also perform real-time translation of speech, for example, when the user initiates the translation plug-in, recognizes and translates the speech content of the first user, and sends the translated audio to the second user, or when receiving the speech information of the second user, translates the speech information of the second user into speech-expressed audio content used by the first user in real time, and plays the speech-expressed audio to the first user. In addition to video windows, text message windows, other functional area identifiers are included, such as disconnect, return, emoticons, gift gifts, etc.

In another embodiment, during the video session, the steps shown in fig. 3 are further included:

in step S181a, the operation of the first user on the video call interface is obtained.

Step S182a, judging operation types including a toll-free type and a free type, and when the operation of the first user is a toll-free type, performing step S183a. If the free type is adopted, no special processing is performed, and the process returns to step S181a.

Step S183a, inquiring the account balance of the first user and the fee amount corresponding to the current operation.

In step S184a, it is determined whether the account balance of the first user is less than the fee limit corresponding to the current operation, and if so, in step S185a, a fee reminding message is generated and displayed. If not, no special processing is performed, and the process returns to step S181a.

In the invention, the first user and the second user are different types of users classified according to a preset feature, wherein the preset feature is one of gender, language and cultural attribute. For example, when the preset feature is gender, when the first user is a male user, the second user matched thereto is female, and when the first user is a female user, the second user matched thereto is male. For another example, when the preset feature is a cultural attribute, when the cultural attribute is set to an eastern culture and a western culture, when the cultural attribute of the first user is an eastern culture, the cultural attribute of the second user matched thereto is a western culture.

Fig. 4 is a user matching method in a social application, which is applied to a server according to an embodiment of the present invention. The server side communicates with the client side according to the social flow of the social application, wherein the server side receives data from the first user and the second user, the data comprise a request of the first user to the second user, a second user identification of a second user video being played in user equipment of the first user, real-time video data of the first user and real-time video data of the second user, and various data sent by the first user and the second user as required, such as respective video data sent by the first user and the second user to each other respectively, and the like. When the server receives a request from the first user to the second user, the second user is matched for the first user, and video data of the second user is provided for the first user. The matching process is shown in fig. 4, and comprises the following steps:

step S100b, obtaining a matched second user for the first user according to a matching rule.

Step S110b, transmitting the second user video data to the first user.

Step S120b, obtaining a second user identifier of the second user video being played.

Step S130b, a first user video is obtained, and the first user video data is sent to a second user playing on a user terminal of the first user.

Step S140b, monitoring the acceptance message of the first user and the current second user to each other, and forwarding the acceptance message to the second user and/or the first user when receiving the acceptance message of the first user and/or the second user to each other.

Step S150b, determining whether an acceptance message of the first user and the second user to each other is received within the preset time period, if so, confirming that the first user and the second user are successfully paired, and executing step S160b. If no receiving message of the first user and the second user to each other is received within the preset time period, the matching between the first user and the second user is unsuccessful, at this time, the first user switches to a new second user, and the step returns to step S120b.

Step S160b, receiving a communication connection request from a first user to the second user successfully paired, and establishing a communication connection between the first user and the second user.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart of a method for matching a second user to the first user at a server according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the step of obtaining the matched second user for the first user according to the matching rule includes:

Step S101b, determining a target user group where the first user is located according to the user portrait of the first user, wherein the user portrait comprises a plurality of feature labels. In this embodiment, the server builds a user portrait for each user, where the user portrait is composed of a plurality of features, and a feature tag is set for each feature. The features may include different features of different dimensions, such as preset features for user classification, basic features corresponding to operation requirements, behavioral features based on user behaviors, etc., such as gender, language, cultural attributes; such as one or more of the user's geographic area, time zone, age, language; such as user interests, preferences, payment habits, activity time, etc. To match a first user to a suitable second user, in this embodiment all users are grouped according to user image, e.g. multiple users with a common feature or features are assigned to a user group, which may be named using a combination of feature labels. And, based on the data analysis, for each user group, other user groups are determined that match it. When a request from a first user to a second user is received, in this embodiment, a user group in which the first user is located is first determined.

Step S102b, obtaining one or more second user groups matched with the target user group, where the second users in the one or more second user groups form an available user pool. After the user group where the first user is located is determined, one or more second user groups matched with the first user are determined according to the preset matching relation, and the second users in the user groups form a user pool.

Step S103b, matching the first user with the second users in the available user pool according to the feature tag to obtain an available user group, where the available user group includes a plurality of second users. In one embodiment, each feature has a different level of priority when matching using the features, such as: the features representing the geographic location are highest in hierarchy, with high-to-low priority for countries and regions representing geographic locations. For example, when matching with two features of interest and geographic location, the matching is performed first by geographic location, and because the geographic location includes two features of country and region (the geographic range of the region is larger than that of the country), when matching by geographic location, the second user in the same country as the first user is selected from the user pool to form the first available user group, and when the number of second users in the same country is enough, the second user which is the same as the first user interest is selected from the current first available user group by interest to form the final available user group from the next level.

Step S104b, the current user index data of the plurality of second users are read, and matching scores are calculated for the plurality of second users according to the current user index data. The user indexes comprise user freshness, user online state, user waiting time, number of times of pushing on the same day, similarity of national regional languages or similarity of crowd preference of users and the like. The user freshness refers to the time of the last login of the user, and the shorter the time period from the current calculation time is, the higher the user freshness value is. The user online state may be classified into online idle, online busy, and offline, and the user index value is sequentially decreased according to online idle, online busy, and offline. The user waiting time is the online idle time of the user, and the larger the waiting time is, the larger the index value of the user is. When the number of times of being pushed on the same day does not exceed the threshold value, the larger the number of times of being pushed, the smaller the user index value. The greater the similarity of the language of the country region, the greater the index value of the user. The greater the similarity of the user's crowd preference, the greater the user index value. In calculating the matching score, various strategies may be devised, such as unifying the user index data values and summing them directly, or setting weights for the individual indices and calculating a weighted sum.

Step S105b, one or more second users with highest matching scores are used as second users matched with the first user. For example, in response to a request from a first user, video data of a second user having the highest matching score is returned. For another example, a certain number of second users 'video data may be returned, such as 5 or 10 second users' video data at a time. Preferably, when a plurality of second users need to be pushed, the ranking is performed according to the matching score, and when video data of the second users are provided to the first user, the video data is sent to the first user together with the ranking.

Wherein a large number of second users may be included in the available user group obtained in step S103b, and it is possible that these users are not in some way suitable for pushing, so in a preferred embodiment, after obtaining the available user group and before calculating the matching score, the second users in the current available user group are filtered based on filtering rules, such as: filtering when the current time period of the latest login time of the user exceeds a preset time period; when the number of times the second user is pushed in the same day reaches the preset number of times and does not reach the preset waiting time, filtering; filtering when the second user and the current first user are friends, reported by the current first user and blackened; filtering when the geographical location of the second user is in the blacklist. The second user unsuitable for pushing is removed after the filtering rule is adopted for filtering, the calculated amount for calculating the matching score is reduced, and the processing speed is increased.

In step S110b, when the second user video is transmitted to the first user, different video data is returned to the first user according to the online state of the second user. For example, when the second user is in an online state, acquiring a real-time video of the second user and sending the real-time video to the first user; and when the second user is in an offline state, acquiring offline videos prerecorded by the second user and sending the offline videos to the first user. In this embodiment, the second user may store the pre-recorded video of the second user in the server, and even if the user is offline, the second user may still be recommended to the first user, and may receive a call request or message from the first user.

Because the client transmits the identifier of the current second user to the server each time the video of the second user is played, the server can learn the second user that the current first user is playing, so that the video or image of the first user is transmitted to the second user in step S130b, and the second user can watch the video image of the other side in synchronization with the first user.

When the first user and the current second user monitor the receiving message of the other party in step S140b, the probability of simulating the second user to perform the receiving operation is determined according to the online state of the second user, for example, the probability of simulating the second user to perform the receiving operation when online is a%, the probability of simulating the second user to perform the receiving operation when busy is b%, and the probability of simulating the second user to perform the receiving operation when offline is c%. The a, b and c are specific values, which can be set manually at the server side or set according to the preference and habit of the second user obtained by analysis. In addition, the priority of the user performing the accepting operation when the second user is online is set to be higher than that of the user performing the accepting operation by simulation, and therefore, the second user performing the accepting operation is simulated according to the probability by calculating the probability of simulating the second user performing the accepting operation.

The invention also provides a user matching system in the social application, which comprises a client side applied to the user terminal and a server side applied to the server. Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a functional block diagram of a user device according to one embodiment of the present invention. The user terminal 20 includes a client of a social application, and the client includes the user matching system 10 provided by the present invention, and further includes at least a display screen 21, a speaker 22, a network module 23, a camera 24, and a microphone 25.
