##MESSAGERECORD

-USER=A-SEARCH-USER=B-TIME-FROM=201402-TO=201407##;

The above-mentioned encoded information may be accompanied by the authentication information of the A user before the transmission, and the authentication information may be private information that is known to both the A user and the B user. In this embodiment, the identity of the user is indicated to B, and the authentication sent by the A user. The information is the real name of the A user, and the sending module sends the above encoded information to the designated user B through the network to perform a chat record synchronization request.

After receiving the information request from the user A, the user B completes the following operation at the B user terminal, and the receiving module receives the chat record request from the user A and displays it to the user B, and the user B can select the rejection request, the authentication request, or the receiving request.

If the request is rejected, the chat record is not synchronized. The authentication request is sent to the A user through the sending module of the B terminal. The authentication information is private information that is known to both the A user and the B user. For example, the B user needs to determine whether it is A user himself, in this embodiment, the authentication information sent to the A user is the birth date of the A user. After the A user replies to the correct date of birth and confirms by the B user, the B user terminal decodes the encoded information sent by the A user, and transmits the decoded information to the chat record query module, and the chat record query module is in the local storage module. After the matching is successful, the chat record is read and encoded, and the encoded chat record sending module is sent out and transmitted to the user A via the network.
