The embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Example 1

As shown in FIG. 1, the embodiment provides a method for instant messaging, and the method includes the following steps:

S101: Receive communication information sent by the contact terminal.

S102: determining, according to the pre-acquired contact list, whether the contact that sends the communication information is a contact contact, and if yes, sending a notification to the user terminal, so that the user terminal obtains the prompt information according to the notification, so that the user clicks the Notify to get the communication information.

In this embodiment, when the contact person is notified to send the communication information to the user, the notification is sent to the user terminal, and the user terminal obtains the prompt information according to the notification, and the prompt information is placed at the front end, so that the user does not need to find the contact list. By clicking the prompt information, the communication information sent by the contact of the concerned party can be obtained, which reduces the operation steps of the user and increases the user experience.

Among them, the communication information sent by the contact to the user mainly includes: instant messaging information, quasi-instant Communication information and non-instant messaging information. Example 2

As shown in FIG. 2, the embodiment further provides a method for instant messaging, taking instant messaging information as an example, and the method includes the following steps:

S201: The user terminal sends the contact information to the server.

Specifically, the user terminal selects the contact person from the contact list, and sends the information of the contact person to the server.

Among them, the contact person is a contact that the user thinks is relatively important among his many contacts, that is, the contact that the user wants to obtain the communication information in real time. The user-set contact contact may be one or more. When the user sets a plurality of follow-up contacts, the contact list may be composed of a plurality of contact contacts.

For example, as shown in the table a1, al is the contact list of the user A, where the user A selects the contact Rose and Jons as their follow-up contacts, and constitutes the contact list a2, and the user terminal will information about Rose and Jons. Send to the service terminal:

Al : a2: contact

Follow the contact

Rose

Jons

Martin

Mary

Pite

Willime

Wite is preferred, as shown in Figure 3, the user can select a contact contact Rose in his contact by mouse, drag the contact contact Rose out of the contact, place it on the desktop, and set the image for Rose to Make it different from other contacts.

S202: The server receives the contact information sent by the user terminal.

Specifically, the server receives the contact contact information and caches it to the contact control layer of interest. The contact control layer is used to store the client to send the contact information.

For example, the server receives the contact information of the user A sent by the user terminal, that is, the information of the contacts Rose and Jons, and caches the information to the chain of interest control layer.

S203: The contact terminal sends the instant messaging information to the server group of the server;

Specifically, the service group includes various instant messaging servers for realizing instant communication between the user terminal and the contact terminal.

Preferably, the following instant messaging information server may be included in the service group:

IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem, IP Multimedia System), which is used to support multimedia services of session and non-session classes, such as messages, conferences, push-to-talk, etc.

MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) for transmitting multimedia information such as text, pictures, animations, audio and video;

VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol), which is used to transmit voice, fax, video, and data services on an IP network, such as unified messaging, virtual phones, virtual voice/fax mailboxes, and check No. Business, Internet Call Center, Internet Call Management, Video Conferencing, E-Commerce, Fax Store and Forward, and Store and Forward of Various Information.

When the contact needs to send an instant messaging message to the user, the contact terminal needs to first send the communication information to the corresponding instant messaging information server of the server, and then the corresponding instant server sends the instant messaging information to the user. terminal.

For example, the contact person needs to send a session type instant messaging information to the user, and then the session type communication information is first sent by the contact terminal to the IMS server, and then the session type instant messaging information is sent by the IMS server to the user terminal.

S204: The server group receives the instant messaging information sent by the contact terminal, and sends the instant messaging information to the user terminal.

Specifically, the instant messaging server in the service group receives the corresponding instant messaging information. For example, SMS (Short Message Service) receives the short message sent by the contact terminal where User A's contact Rose is located, and is responsible for sending the short message to User A.

S205: The server control layer determines whether the contact that sends the instant messaging information is a contact person concerned, and if yes, sends a notification to the user terminal;

Specifically, the server control layer obtains the contact information for sending the instant messaging information by listening to the instant messaging information sent by the server group to the user terminal, and according to the pre-acquired contact list The table determines whether the contact that sends the instant messaging information is the contact contact, that is, whether the contact that sends the communication information exists in the contact contact list, and if yes, sends a notification to the user terminal, so that the user terminal prompts the user, The contact who is following has sent instant messaging information to them.

For example, when the server control layer listens to the SMS server, the contact Rose sends a short message to the user A, and the server control layer queries the pre-acquired contact list, and the Rose is the user A's contact. And sending a notification to the user terminal, notifying the user that the contact A of the user A of the terminal A sent a short message to them.

The notification includes at least the contact information for sending the instant messaging information, and the user terminal obtains the information type of the instant messaging information sent by the contact contact according to the contact contact information, and the contact person and the instant message sent by the contact person The type of information is prompted to remind the user what type of instant messaging information is sent to the contact he or she is interested in.

Preferably, the notification may further include a type of the communication information sent by the attention contact, and the user terminal may directly obtain the type of the instant messaging information sent by the contact contact from the notification, thereby forming prompt information to remind the user of the contact concerned. What type of instant messaging information was sent to people.

For the instant messaging information sent by the contact, the server can provide better resources for it. Specifically, when the contact of the communication information is a contact person concerned, the server increases the processing priority of the communication information or increases the resources required for processing the communication information.

For example, when the SMS server receives a short message sent by a large number of contacts to the user A, the server control layer preferentially notifies the user terminal that the contact Rose sends a short message to the user, so that the user can receive the short message more immediately.

For example, when the contact A of the user A initiates the file transfer information to the user A, and the contact Mary also sends the file transfer information to the user A, the server can increase the bandwidth of the contact transfer file. Mary transfers the bandwidth of the file, making file transfer between User A and his follower contact Rose faster and easier.

S206: The user terminal receives the notification, and obtains prompt information according to the notification;

Specifically, the user obtains the type of the information sent by the contact person according to the notification, and places the type of the communication information as the prompt information at the forefront, wherein the prompt information may further include an image or a name of the contact person, this embodiment Not limited. Preferably, the user terminal places the prompt information at the forefront.

Wherein, when the notification sent by the server includes only the contact information, the user terminal is based on The contact information is contacted, and the instant messaging information sent by the server is inquired, and the instant messaging information sent by the contact person is inquired, thereby obtaining the type of the instant messaging information, and placing the type of the communication information as the prompt information. The front end; when the notification further includes the contact information, the user terminal can directly obtain the type of the instant messaging information sent by the contact contact from the notification, thereby forming the prompt information, and reminding the user that the contact concerned is sent to the contact What type of instant messaging information.

Preferably, when the number of pieces of instant messaging information sent by the contact contact received by the user terminal is multiple, the user terminal accumulates the number of pieces of instant messaging information sent by the same focused contact, and the number of unread instant messaging information is obtained. And paying attention to the contact name and/or image as the prompt information is placed at the forefront. After the user queries the prompt information, the user terminal displays the type of each unread instant messaging information to the user, so that the user obtains the instant messaging information required by the user. .

For example, the user terminal receives the notification sent by the server control layer, and notifies the user of the contact A of the user A that the short message is sent to the user, and the user terminal obtains a prompt message according to the notification, and the prompt information is obtained. At the forefront, as shown in Figure 4, Rose sends a short message, and the user terminal displays Rose's picture and name at the forefront, and displays a short message, which more intuitively reflects the contact sent by the contact. Instant messaging status increases the user experience.

S207: The user clicks the prompt information to obtain the communication information sent by the contact contact.

Specifically, the prompt information is mapped to the communication information sent by the contact contact, and the user can obtain the corresponding instant messaging information by clicking the prompt information, so that the contact person who sends the communication information does not need to be found in the contact list. Gaining the communication information that you want to pay attention to increases the user experience.

For example, the user terminal displays the prompt information at the front end: Rose sends a short message, and the user A clicks the prompt information to query the content of the short message without entering the short message query interface, thereby reducing the operation of the user. Steps that increase the user experience.

The foregoing method is also applicable to the quasi-instant messaging between the user and the contact. On the basis of the method described in Embodiment 1, only the quasi-instant server needs to be added to the server group of the server, for example, adding a quasi-instant server in the service group. SMS (Short Message Service) can realize the short message transmission between the user terminal and the contact. The rest of the steps are the same as the method described in Embodiment 1. The specific implementation process is shown in Embodiment 1, here. No longer. Example 3,

As shown in FIG. 5, the present invention also provides a method for instant messaging. Taking a non-instant message as an example, the method includes the following steps:

S301: The user terminal sends the contact information to the server.

Among them, the contact person is a contact that the user thinks is relatively important among his many contacts, that is, the contact that the user wants to obtain the communication information sent by the user in real time. The contact set by the user may be one or more. When the user sets a plurality of followers, the contact list may be composed of a plurality of contact contacts.

Preferably, the user can select a contact person in the contact by using the mouse, drag the contact person from the contact, place it on the desktop, and set an image for the contact person to distinguish it from the other. Contact person.

S302: The server receives the contact information sent by the user terminal.

Specifically, the server receives the contact contact information and caches it to the contact control layer of interest. The contact control layer is used to store the client to send the contact information, monitor and collect the communication information that the contact contact initiates to the user, and send a notification to the user terminal to notify the user that the contact person has sent it to the contact person. Communication information.

S303: The contact terminal sends non-instant messaging information to the server group of the server.

Specifically, the service group includes various non-instant messaging servers for realizing instant messaging between the user terminal and the contact terminal. For example, the service group may be a non-instant server SNS (Social Network Site), which is used by the contact terminal to send non-instant messaging information to the user through the social networking website.

Wherein, when the contact needs to send a non-instant messaging information to the user, the contact terminal needs to first send the communication information to the corresponding non-instant server of the server, and then the non-instant messaging information is sent by the corresponding non-instant server. Give the user terminal.

For example, if the contact needs to send an email to the user, the email is first sent by the contact terminal to the email server, which then sends the email to the user terminal.

S304: The server group receives the non-instant messaging information sent by the contact terminal, and sends the non-instant messaging information to the user terminal. Specifically, the non-instant messaging server in the service group receives non-instant messaging information. For example, the mail server receives the mail sent by the contact terminal where the contact A of the user A is located, and is responsible for sending the mail to the user A.

S305: The server control layer determines whether the contact that sends the non-instant messaging information is a contact contact, and if yes, sends a notification to the user terminal.

Specifically, the server control layer obtains the contact information of the communication information by monitoring the non-instant messaging information sent by the server group to the user terminal, and determines whether the contact that sends the communication information is the attention according to the pre-acquired contact list. The contact, that is, whether there is a contact in the contact list that sends the communication information, and if so, sends a notification to the user terminal to let the user know that the contact person has sent the communication information to the contact.

For example, the server control layer obtains the contact Rose to send the mail to the user A by listening to the mail server, and the server control layer queries the pre-acquired contact list, and obtains R _0se as the contact of the user A. And sending a notification to the user terminal to notify the user that the contact A of the user A of the terminal A has sent the mail to them.

The notification includes at least the contact information for sending the non-instant messaging information, and the user terminal obtains the information type of the non-instant messaging information sent by the contact contact according to the contact contact information, and the contact contact and the sent by the contact The type of instant messaging information is prompted to remind the user what type of instant messaging information is sent to the contact he or she is interested in.

Preferably, the notification may further include a type of non-instant messaging information sent by the contactive contact, and the user terminal may directly obtain the type of the non-instant messaging information sent by the contacted contact from the notification, thereby forming prompt information to remind the user of the What type of instant messaging information is sent to the contact's contact.

Specifically, when the attention contact sends the communication information to the user, the server increases the processing priority of the communication information.

For example, when the mail server receives a large number of contacts and sends the mail to the user A, the server control layer preferentially notifies the user terminal that the contact Rose sends the mail to the user, so that the user can receive the mail more promptly.

S306: The user terminal receives the notification, obtains the prompt information according to the notification, and places the prompt information at the front end;

Specifically, the user obtains the type of information sent by the contact contact according to the notification, and preferably, The user terminal places the type of the communication information as the prompt information at the forefront.

When the notification sent by the server includes only the contact information, the user terminal queries the instant messaging information sent by the contact terminal from the instant messaging information sent by the server according to the contact information, thereby obtaining The type of the non-instant messaging information, and the type of the communication information is used as the prompt information at the forefront; when the notification further includes the contact information, the user terminal can directly obtain the non-mail sent by the contact from the notification. The type of instant messaging information, thereby forming a prompt message to remind the user what type of non-instant messaging information the contact to which he or she is interested is sent.

Preferably, the prompt information may further include an image of the contact person, a name, and a number of pieces of information of the instant information sent by the contact terminal received by the user terminal, and the embodiment is not limited.

For example, the user terminal receives the notification sent by the server control layer, notifying the user that the contact A of the user A of the terminal A sends an email to the user, and the user terminal obtains a prompt message according to the notification: Rose sends an email, The user terminal displays the picture and name of Rose at the forefront, and displays an email, which more intuitively reflects the status of the non-time message sent by the contact, which increases the user experience.

Further preferably, when the user terminal receives the plurality of non-instant messages sent by the same contact to the user, the user terminal flips the prompt information of the non-instant messages at the foremost end,

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the user terminal cyclically displays the reminder information that the contact contact Rose sends a plurality of non-instant messages to the user A: Mailing you: Transfer it to you; Change the status: In flight; Added one a log; added an image.

S307: The user clicks the prompt information to obtain the non-communication information sent by the contact contact, and the prompt information has a mapping relationship with the communication information sent by the contact contact, and the user can obtain the corresponding communication information by clicking the prompt information. For example, the user terminal displays a prompt message to the user, prompting the user that the contact person A concerned sends an email to the user, and the user only needs to click the prompt information, and does not need to enter the login interface of the email. Checking the email increases the user experience. Example 4
