SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTENT TRANSMISSION FOR
INSTANT MESSAGING
CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] The application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201310283639.0, filed July 8, 2013, incorporated by reference herein for all purposes.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Certain embodiments of the present invention are directed to computer technology. More particularly, some embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for communication technology. Merely by way of example, some embodiments of the invention have been applied to instant messaging. But it would be recognized that the invention has a much broader range of applicability.
[0003] In an instant messaging process, two or more parties in communication often start a session involving an image. For example, in a communication process related to geographic positions, a sender searches for a location on a map, takes a screenshot and sends the screenshot combined with certain descriptive information (e.g., text, voice, facial expression, etc.) to another party. A receiver takes a position screenshot and sends to the original sender in a similar manner. The parties may exchange visual screenshots to realize communication through traditional channels of communication.
[0004] The above-noted conventional technology has some disadvantages. For example, in an instant messaging session involving an image, two or more parties in the session often need to take screenshots first prior to enter any session input, and send the screenshots and relevant session information together to a server. The parties usually need to receive not only certain session content but also the screenshots, which results in low communication efficiency.
[0005] Hence it is highly desirable to improve the techniques for content transmission for instant messaging.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] According to one embodiment, a method is provided for transmitting instant messaging session content. For example, a session sending client downloads an image from a server based on an instruction from a user; the session sending client receives session information related to the image from the user, the session information including session content and corresponding position information related to the image; and the session content is displayed at a position on the image based on the position information related to the image.
[0007] According to another embodiment, a system for transmitting instant messaging session content includes: a session sending client and a server. The session sending client is configured to download an image from a server based on an instruction from a user, receive session information related to the image from the user, the session information including session content and
corresponding position information related to the image and display the session content at a position on the image based on the position information related to the image. The server is configured to send the image to the session sending client.
[0008] According to yet another embodiment, a client for transmitting instant messaging session content includes: a communication module configured to download an image based on an instruction from a user; a user-side receiving module configured to receive session information related to the image from a user, the session information including session content and corresponding position information related to the image; and a display module configured to display the session content at the position on the image based on the position information related to the image in the session information.
[0009] In one embodiment, a server for transmitting instant messaging session content includes: an image storage module configured to store an image; a session storage module configured to receive and store session information, the session information including session content and corresponding position information related to the image; and an information provision module configured to send the session information or the image.
[0010] In another embodiment, a non-transitory computer readable storage medium includes programming instructions for transmitting instant messaging session content. The programming instructions are configured to cause one or more data processors to execute certain operations. For example, a session sending client downloads an image from a server based on an instruction from a user; the session sending client receives session information related to the image from the user, the session information including session content and corresponding position information related to the image; and the session content is displayed at a position on the image based on the position information related to the image.
[0011] For example, the systems and methods disclosed herein are configured to transmit only session content input by a user as well as image identification and position information related to an image in an instant messaging session without repeatedly transmitting the image or making and transmitting screenshots so as to improve the communication efficiency and reduce costs.
[0012] Depending upon embodiment, one or more benefits may be achieved. These benefits and various additional objects, features and advantages of the present invention can be fully appreciated with reference to the detailed description and accompanying drawings that follow.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0019] Figure 1 is a simplified diagram showing a method for content transmission for instant messaging according to one embodiment of the present invention. The diagram is merely an example, which should not unduly limit the scope of the claims. One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize many variations, alternatives, and modifications. The method 100 includes at least processes 101-105.
[0020] According to one embodiment, during the process 101, a session sending client downloads an image from a server based on an instruction from a user. For example, during the process 102, the session sending client receives session information related to the image from a user, wherein the session information includes session content and corresponding position information related to the image. As an example, the session content is displayed at the position on the image based on the position information related to the image.
[0021] According to another embodiment, if the user inputs multiple pieces of session information related to one image, the session sending client executes the process 101 before the user inputs the first piece of session information related to the image. For example, when the user inputs follow-up session information, the process 102 can be executed directly. During the process 101, various processes may be implemented for a user to send an instruction to download an image to the server, according to some embodiments. For example, the user directly calls a street view image of a relevant position, or a background component automatically displays the street view image based on the user's input. As an example, the user can input keywords for describing the street view image, and the background component performs matching on locally stored street view images based on the keywords and automatically displays a matching street view image.
, ,
sends the session information to the server, and the server stores the session information. For example, during the process 104, the server sends the session information alone, or sends both the session information and the corresponding image to a session receiving client. In another example, during the process 105, the session receiving client displays the session content in the session information at the position on the image based on the position information related to the image in the session information.
[0023] In one embodiment, during the process 104, if the server has sent an image corresponding to the session information to the session receiving client before sending the session information, the server sends the session information alone to the session receiving client. Otherwise, the server sends both the session information and the corresponding image to the session receiving client.
[0024] According to some embodiments, the server only sends the image corresponding to the session information to the client once, and the client needs not send the image corresponding to the session when sending the session information to the server, so as to avoid repeated sending of the image to save system resources. For example, the session content includes text content, audio content, image content (e.g., an emoticon), video content, etc. As an example, the image includes a street view map.
[0025] Figure 2 is a simplified diagram showing a method for content transmission for instant messaging according to another embodiment of the present invention. The diagram is merely an example, which should not unduly limit the scope of the claims. One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize many variations, alternatives, and modifications. The method 200 includes at least processes 201-208.
[0026] According to one embodiment, during the process 201, a session sending client sends a request for downloading an image to a server based on an instruction from a user. For example, during the process 202, the server sends the image to the session sending client. In another example, during the process 203, the session sending client displays the image, and receives session information related to the image from the user. As an example, the session information includes session content, image identification, and position information related to the image corresponding to the session content. As another example, the session content is displayed at the position on the image based on the image identification and the position information related to the image.
[0027] According to another embodiment, the user right-clicks on the image and then inputs the session content in an input box. For example, the image selected by the user is the image
corresponding to the session content, and the position selected by the user is the position on the image for the session content. In another example, during the process 204, the session sending client sends the session information (e.g., including the session content, the image identification and the position information related to the image) to the server, and the server stores the session information.
[0028] According to yet another embodiment, during the process 205, the server notifies the session receiving client that new session information is stored locally. For example, during the process 206, the session receiving client sends a read request to the server. In another example, during the process 207, the server sends the session information and an image corresponding to the session information to the session receiving client. The image corresponding to the session information is an image indicated by the image identification in the session information, in some embodiments. For example, if the server has sent the image to the session receiving client previously, then the server only needs to send the session information to the session receiving client.
[0029] In one embodiment, during the process 208, the session sending client displays the session content in the session information at the corresponding position of the corresponding image based on the image identification and the position information related to the image in the session information. The session sending client and the session receiving client can display the session content at the corresponding position of the corresponding image, according to certain embodiments. For example, the image corresponding to the session content needs to be downloaded only once from the server and does not need repeated transmission in an instant messaging session, so that the amount of information transmitted is reduced. As an example, repeated searching of the image and screenshots are not needed in the instant messaging session, thereby ensuring no interruption to a normal communication process, and furthermore improving the communication efficiency.
[0030] According to certain embodiments, an image corresponding to an instant messaging session includes a street view image. For example, during a process 1, a session sending user starts a street view chat mode on a chat window interface. In another example, during a process 2, the session sending user inputs a street view name to be loaded. In yet another example, a session sending client calls one or more street view interfaces for the user to choose, and then loads the street view that the user wants to enter. In yet another example, in the street view, the user can operate the display of the street view as in a WEB street view, e.g., going forwards, going backwards, and looking around.
