SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INFORMATION INTERACTION

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201410127732.7, filed March 31, 2014, incorporated by reference herein for all purposes.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Certain embodiments of the present invention are directed to computer technology. More particularly, some embodiments of the invention provide devices and methods for network technology. Merely by way of example, some embodiments of the invention have been applied to information interaction. But it would be recognized that the invention has a much broader range of applicability.

More and more social applications appear with rapid development of the communication technology. These social applications are widely used for entertainment of users and work of the users. Users may perform information interaction whenever and wherever possible via the social applications. Usually, when the users perform information interaction via social networking tools, interactive social application messages may include session messages, friend addition request messages, system messages, etc.

For example, the users perform information interaction via mobile terminals installed with Android systems. During the information interaction, a first terminal transmits a social application message to a second terminal, and the second terminal receives the social application message using relevant technologies. The second terminal acquires a login instruction of the social application based on independent selection of a second user corresponding to the second terminal, and logs in and enters the social application on the login instruction. Then, the second terminal processes the social application message transmitted by the first terminal to achieve the information interaction with the first terminal.

The above-noted conventional technology has some disadvantages. For example, during information interaction using relevant technologies, the second terminal acquires the login instruction of the social application based on the independent selection of the second user corresponding to the second terminal, and triggers the logging in of the social application according to the login instruction, so as to process the social application message transmitted by the first terminal to achieve the information interaction with the first terminal. There is possibly a long delay between the moment when the social application is triggered and logged in based on the independent selection of the second user corresponding to the second terminal and the moment when the first terminal transmits the social application message, so that the second terminal cannot acquire the login instruction of the social application timely. Therefore, the second terminal cannot process the social application message transmitted by the first terminal timely, and the information interaction efficiency with the first terminal is low.

Hence it is highly desirable to improve the techniques for information interaction.

Figure 2 is a simplified diagram showing a method for information interaction 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 processes 201-203. For example, the method 200 is executed by a server.

According to one embodiment, the process 201 includes: acquiring a social application message of a social application transmitted to a second terminal installed with the social application. For example, the acquisition of the social application message of the social application transmitted to the second terminal installed with the social application includes: generating the social application message of the social application transmitted to the second terminal installed with the social application. In another example, the acquisition of the social application message of the social application transmitted to the second terminal installed with the social application includes: receiving the social application message of the social application transmitted by a first terminal to the second terminal installed with the social application.

According to another embodiment, the process 202 includes: determining whether the second terminal logs in the social application. For example, the process 203 includes: if the second terminal does not log in the social application, transmitting a reminder message corresponding to the social application to the second terminal, so as to allow the second terminal to log in and enter the social application based on a login instruction after detecting the login instruction of the social application based on the reminder message, and to process the social application message in the social application, wherein the reminder message is configured to remind the second terminal of the social application message to be processed.

Figure 3 is a simplified diagram showing a method for information interaction according to yet 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 300 includes processes 301-302. For example, the method 300 is executed by a first terminal that is installed with a social application and logs in the social application.

According to one embodiment, the process 301 includes: transmitting a social application message of a social application to a second terminal, which does not log in the social application, via the installed social application. For example, the process 302 includes: transmitting a reminder message corresponding to the social application, which is installed on the second terminal, to the second terminal, so as to allow the second terminal to log in and enter the social application based on a login instruction after detecting the login instruction of the social application based on the reminder message, and to process the social application message in the social application, wherein the reminder message is configured to remind the second terminal of the social application message to be processed.

Figure 4 is a simplified diagram showing an implementation environment for a method for information interaction 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 implementation environment 400 includes a first terminal 401 and a second terminal 402.

According to one embodiment, the first terminal 401 is used by a first user to operate a social application, and the second terminal 402 is used by a second user to operate the social application. For example, the first terminal 401 may be directly connected with the second terminal 402 through a network, wherein the network may be a wireless network, a wired network, etc. As an example, after transmitting a social application message of the social application to the second terminal 402, which does not log in but is installed with the social application, via the installed social application, the first terminal 401 may transmit a reminder message corresponding to the social application to the second terminal 402, so as to allow the second terminal 402 to detect a login instruction of the social application based on the reminder message, and to process the social application message transmitted by the first terminal 401 in the social application after logging in and entering the social application based on the login instruction. As another example, the social application message includes a session message, a friend addition request message, etc.

According to another embodiment, the first terminal 401 and/or the second terminal 402 include a smart phone, a tablet personal computer, an e-book reader, an MP3 (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer III) player, an MP4 (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer IV) player, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, etc.

Figure 5 is a simplified diagram showing a method for information interaction according to yet 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 500 includes processes 501-503.

According to one embodiment, during the process 501, a first terminal transmits a social application message of a social application to a second terminal, which does not log in but is installed with the social application, via the installed social application, and transmits a reminder message corresponding to the social application to the second terminal, wherein the reminder message is configured to remind the second terminal of the social application message to be processed. As an example, to achieve information interaction with the second terminal, the first terminal may transmit the social application message of the social application to the second terminal via the installed social application. As another example, to trigger the second terminal to timely process the social application message transmitted by the first terminal, the first terminal may also transmit the reminder message corresponding to the social application, which is configured to remind the second terminal to process the social application message, to the second terminal.

According to some embodiments, the manner in which the first terminal transmits the social application message of the social application to the second terminal, which does not log in but is installed with the social application, via the installed social application is different from the manner in which the first terminal transmits the reminder message corresponding to the social application to the second terminal. For example, the social application message transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal includes a message transmitted based on the social application. To trigger the second terminal to timely process the social application message transmitted by the first terminal, the reminder message transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal and corresponding to the social application may include a message separated from the social application to ensure that the reminder message can be received when the second terminal does not log in the social application, according to some embodiments. For example, the second terminal may log in and enter the social application based on the reminder message to further achieve information interaction with the first terminal. In another example, the first terminal may transmit the reminder message corresponding to the social application to the second terminal in a short message manner, etc. In yet another example, the social application message of the social application transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal via the installed social application may include a session message, a friend addition request message, etc. As yet another example, the reminder message transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal via the installed social application may have various contents according to the type of the social application message of the social application transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal via the installed social application. For example, if the social application message of the social application transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal via the installed social application includes the session message, then the content of the reminder message transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal and corresponding to the social application may remind the second terminal of a session message from the first terminal, e.g., "please check a message from a user A", etc.

According to another embodiment, during the process 502, the second terminal receives and displays the reminder message, and detects a login instruction of the social application based on the reminder message. For example, a variety of manners in which the second terminal displays (e.g., as shown in Figure 6) the reminder message transmitted by the first terminal are available.

Figure 6 is a simplified diagram showing a reminder message being displayed 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.

According to one embodiment, a second terminal displays a reminder message by popping up a message box 600. For example, the second terminal detects the login instruction of the social application based on the reminder message as follows: when the second terminal displays the reminder message, two options, "Confirm"and "Cancel", are set on the displayed reminder message, and the second terminal detects the login instruction of the social application by detecting whether the "Confirm"option is selected. As an example, the second terminal determines that the login instruction of the social application is detected if an operation of selecting the "Confirm"option is detected. Otherwise, the login instruction of the social application is not detected.

According to another embodiment, during the process 503, if the login instruction of the social application is detected, the second terminal logs in and enters the social application based on the login instruction, and receives and processes the social application message in the social application. For example, after the second terminal detects the login instruction of the social application, and logs in and enters the social application based on the login instruction, the second terminal may display a session interface of the social application, and process the social application message in the session interface of the social application to achieve information interaction with the first terminal. As an example, the second terminal replies to the social application message transmitted by the first terminal, or processes the friend addition request message transmitted by the first terminal, etc.

According to some embodiments, the manner in which the second terminal processes the social application message is different according to the different types of the social application message of the social application transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal , which does not log in the social application, via the installed social application. For example, if the social application message of the social application transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal, which does not log in the social application, via the installed social application is the friend addition request message, then the second terminal continues to determine whether a friend authentication function is enabled when processing the friend addition request message. As an example, if the friend authentication function is not enabled, the second terminal directly adds the first terminal as a friend, and continues to perform information interaction with the first terminal. As another example, if the friend authentication function is enabled, the second terminal further determines whether an adding determination instruction of determining that a first user corresponding to the first terminal is added as a friend is acquired. As yet another example, if the second terminal acquires the adding determination instruction, then the second terminal adds the first terminal as the friend, and continues to perform information interaction with the first terminal. Otherwise, the second terminal does not add the first terminal as the friend until acquiring the adding determination instruction, and continues to perform information interaction with the first terminal after adding the first terminal as the friend. As yet another example, if the first user corresponding to the first terminal has been a friend of a second user corresponding to the second terminal, and the social application message transmitted by the first terminal via the installed social application is the session message, the second terminal directly receives the session message in the social application to achieve the information interaction with the first terminal.

Figure 7 is a simplified diagram showing an implementation environment for a method for information interaction 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 implementation environment 700 includes a first terminal 701, a server 703 and a second terminal 702.

According to one embodiment, the first terminal 701 and the second terminal 702 are communicated with the server 703 through a network respectively, where the network may be a wireless network, a wired network, etc. For example, before transmitting a social application message to the second terminal 702, which does not log in but is installed with a social application, via the installed social application, the first terminal 701 may transmit the social application message to the server 703. As an example, the server 703 determines whether the second terminal 702 logs in the social application or not based on the social application message. As another example, when the second terminal 702 does not log in the social application, the first terminal 701 transmits a reminder message corresponding to the social application to the second terminal 702, so as to allow the second terminal 702 to detect a login instruction of the social application based on the reminder message and to process the social application message in the social application after logging in and entering the social application based on the login instruction. As yet another example, the social application message includes a session message, a friend addition request message, etc.

According to another embodiment, the first terminal 701 and/or the second terminal 702 include a smart phone, a tablet personal computer, an e-book reader, an MP3 (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer III) player, an MP4 (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer IV) player, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, etc.

Figure 8 is a simplified diagram showing a method for information interaction according to yet 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 800 includes processes 801-805.

According to one embodiment, during the process 801, a first terminal transmits a social application message of a social application transmitted to a second terminal, which does not log in the social application, to a server via the installed social application. As an example, the server receives the social application message transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal, which does not log in the social application, via the installed social application. For example, since the first terminal performs information interaction with the second terminal via the server, any message transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal is transmitted to the server, and the server forwards the message to the second terminal. In another example, the first terminal transmits the social application message of the social application transmitted by the second terminal to the server via the installed social application, and the server receives the social application message transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal, which does not log in the social application, via the installed social application, so as to achieve the information interaction between the first terminal and the second terminal. In yet another example, the social application message of the social application transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal, which does not log in the social application, via the installed social application includes a session message, a friend addition request message, etc.

According to another embodiment, during the process 802, the server determines whether the second terminal logs in the social application. For example, the server determines whether the second terminal logs in the social application, so as to remind the second terminal to log in the social application to achieve the information interaction with the first terminal when the second terminal does not log in the social application. As an example, the server may determine the manner whether the second terminal logs in the social application, including detection of an online state of the second terminal. Particularly, when the second terminal is online, the server determines that the second terminal logs in the social application, and when the second terminal is not online, the server determines that the second terminal does not log in the social application.

According to yet another embodiment, during the process 803, if the second terminal does not log in the social application, the server transmits a reminder message corresponding to the social application, which is not logged in by but is installed on the second terminal, to the second terminal, and forwards the social application message of the social application transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal, which does not log in the social application, to the second terminal via the installed social application, wherein the reminder message is configured to remind the second terminal of the social application message to be processed. For example, after receiving the social application message of the social application transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal, which does not log in the social application, via the installed social application, the server can firstly detect whether a network connection is established with the second terminal. In another example, if the network connection is established with the second terminal, the server may directly transmit the reminder message to the second terminal. If the network connection is not established with the second terminal, the server may regularly detect whether the network connection is established with the second terminal. In yet another example, upon detecting that the network connection is established with the second terminal, the server transmits the reminder message to the second terminal.

According to some embodiments, the manner in which the server forwards the social application message of the social application transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal, which does not log in the social application, to the second terminal via the installed social application is different from the manner in which the server transmits the reminder message corresponding to the social application, which is not logged in by but is installed on the second terminal, to the second terminal. For example, the manner in which the server forwards the social application message of the social application transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal, which does not log in the social application, to the second terminal via the installed social application may be a message transmitted based on the social application. As an example, to trigger the second terminal to timely process the social application message transmitted by the first terminal via the installed social application, the reminder message transmitted by the server to the second terminal and corresponding to the social application may be a message separated from the social application to ensure that the reminder message can be received when the second terminal does not log in the social application. As yet another example, the second terminal may log in and enter the social application based on the reminder message to further achieve information interaction with the first terminal. For example, the server may be bound with a message application in advance, and transmits the reminder message corresponding to the social application, which is not logged in by but is installed on the second terminal, to the second terminal in a short message manner, etc.

According to certain embodiments, the reminder message transmitted by the server to the second terminal and corresponding to the social application, which is not logged in by but is installed on the second terminal, may have various contents according to the type of the social application message transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal via the installed social application. For example, if the social application message transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal via the installed social application is the friend addition request message, then the content of the reminder message transmitted by the server to the second terminal and corresponding to the social application may remind the second terminal of a friend addition request message from the first terminal, e.g., "please process a friend addition request message from a user A", etc.

According to yet another embodiment, during the process 804, the second terminal receives and displays the reminder message transmitted by the server and corresponding to the social application, which is not logged in by but is installed on the second terminal, and detects a login instruction of the social application based on the reminder message. For example, the process 804 is the same as the process 502. As an example, during the process 805, if detecting the login instruction of the social application, the second terminal logs in and enters the social application based on the login instruction, and receives and processes the social application message in the social application. As another example, the process 805 is the same as the process 503.

According to some embodiments, the manner in which the server transmits the reminder message transmitted to the second terminal and corresponding to the social application, which is not logged in by but is installed on the second terminal, after receiving the social application message transmitted by the first terminal, the content of the reminder message, and the processing manner that the second terminal processes the social application message in the social application are different according to different types of the social application message transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal, which does not log in the social application, via the installed social application. For example, if the social application message transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal, which does not log in the social application, via the installed social application is the friend addition request message, then the server determines whether the second terminal enables the friend authentication function or not before transmitting the reminder messagecorresponding to the social application, which is not logged in by but is installed on the second terminal, to the second terminal. As an example, if the server determines that the second terminal does not enable the friend authentication function, the server directly transmits a successful friend adding message reminding the second terminal to be a friend of the first terminal to the second terminal. As another example, the second terminal may directly receive a session message transmitted by the first terminal in the social application, so as to achieve the information interaction with the first terminal.

According to certain embodiments, if the server determines that the second terminal enables the friend authentication function, the server may transmit a reminder message of reminding the second terminal to process the friend addition request message transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal. As an example, the second terminal acquires an adding determination instruction for determining whether to add the first terminal as the friend after receiving the friend addition request message in the social application. As another example, if acquiring the adding determination instruction, the second terminal adds the first terminal as a friend. As yet another example, the first terminal may continue to perform information interaction with the second terminal. As yet another example, if the adding determination instruction is not acquired, the second terminal does not add the first terminal as a friend. As yet another example, the first terminal cannot continue to perform information interaction with the second terminal until the second terminal acquires the adding determination instruction.

According to some embodiments, if a first user corresponding to the first terminal has been a friend of a second user corresponding to the second terminal, and the social application message transmitted by the first terminal is the session message, the server directly receives the session message transmitted by the first terminal, directly transmits the reminder message to the second terminal, and forwards the session message transmitted by the first terminal to the second terminal to allow the second terminal to achieve the information interaction with the first terminal after the second terminal receives the session message in the social application.

Figure 9 is a simplified diagram showing an implementation environment for a method for information interaction according to yet 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 implementation environment 900 includes a server 903 and a second terminal 902.

According to one embodiment, the second terminal 902 performs information interaction with the server 903 through a network and the network may be a wireless network, a wired network, etc. For example, before transmitting a social application message to the second terminal 902, the server 903 transmits a reminder message to the second terminal 902 to allow the second terminal 902 to detect a login instruction of a social application based on the reminder message, and process the social application message transmitted by the server in the social application after logging in and entering the social application based on the login instruction. As an example, the social application message includes a system message, etc.

According to another embodiment, the second terminal 902 includes a smart phone, a tablet personal computer, an e-book reader, an MP3 (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer III) player, an MP4 (Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer IV) player, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, etc.

Figure 10 is a simplified diagram showing a method for information interaction according to yet 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 1000 includes processes 1001-1004.

According to one embodiment, during the process 1001, a server generates a social application message, and determines whether a second terminal logs in a social application. For example, the second terminal directly performs information interaction with the server, and the social application message received by the second terminal is a system message of the social application. In another example, the server generates the social application message in order to transmit the social application message to the second terminal. In yet another example, the server determines whether the second terminal logs in the social application in order to timely remind the second terminal to process the social application message when the second terminal does not log in the social application. In yet another example, the server transmits a reminder message to the second terminal when the second terminal does not log in the social application. In yet another example, when the server determines that the second terminal does not log in, the subsequent processes continue to be executed. In yet another example, if the second terminal has logged in, the server is not required to transmit the reminder message to the second terminal, and the method 1000 is terminated at this moment.

According to another embodiment, during the process 1002, if the second terminal does not log in the social application, the server transmits the reminder message corresponding to the social application, which is not logged in by but is installed on the second terminal, to the second terminal, and transmits the generated social application message to the second terminal, wherein the reminder message is configured to remind the second terminal of the social application message to be processed. For example, in order to trigger the second terminal to process the social application message timely, the server transmits the reminder message corresponding to the social application, which is not logged in by but is installed on the second terminal and is configured to remind the second terminal of the social application message to be processed, to the second terminal. As an example, the manner in which the server transmits the social application message to the second terminal can be different from the manner in which the server transmits the reminder message to the second terminal. Particularly, the social application message transmitted by the server to the second terminal may be transmitted based on the social application. As another example, in order to trigger the second terminal to timely process the social application message transmitted by the server, the reminder message transmitted by the server to the second terminal may be separated from the social application to ensure that the reminder message may be still received when the second terminal does not log in the social application. In another example, the second terminal may log in and enter the social application based on the reminder message. For example, the server may be bound with a message application in advance, and transmits the reminder message to the second terminal in a short message manner, etc.

According to some embodiments, various particular contents of the social application message generated by the server are available. For example, the social application message generated by the server may be a notification message, a broadcast message, a social application update message, etc. As an example, during the process 1003, the second terminal receives and displays the reminder message, and detects a login instruction of the social application based on the reminder message. As another example, the process 1003 is the same as the process 502. In another example, during the process 1004, if detecting the login instruction of the social application, the second terminal logs in and enters the social application based on the login instruction, and receives and processes the social application message in the social application. In yet another example, the process 1004 is the same as the process 503.

According to some embodiments, the second terminal may acquire system information in the social application message by receiving and processing the social application message transmitted by the server. For example, after receiving the system message in the social application, the second terminal may check the system message transmitted by the server, and acquires particular contents of a system notification message and a system broadcast message, or updates the social application based on the system message, etc.

According to another embodiment, the social application message is transmitted by a server. For example, the acquisition module 1101 is configured to receive the reminder message that is transmitted by the server and corresponds to the installed social application that is not logged in, the reminder message being transmitted after the server generates the social application message.

According to yet another embodiment, the social application message is transmitted by a first terminal. For example, the acquisition module 1101 is configured to receive the reminder message that is transmitted by the server and corresponds to the installed social application that is not logged in, the reminder message being transmitted after the server receives the social application message transmitted by the first terminal. As another example, the social application message is transmitted by the first terminal, and the acquisition module 1101 is configured to receive the reminder message that is transmitted by the first terminal and corresponds to the installed social application that is not logged in, the reminder message being transmitted after the first terminal transmits the social application message.
