Description

A method for quickly establishing a group communication group

Technical field

The invention relates to a method for quickly establishing a group communication group.

Background technique

In communication applications, establishing and maintaining a community's communication group typically requires many manual operations. The usual practice is to create an address book resource on the server, and the administrator maintains the address book members. If you join a new member, the new member must first enter some information to find the address book and then apply to join; the other way is that the administrator manually invites new members to join.

In order to consider security, it is usually necessary to obtain the consent of the other party after applying for or being invited. A disadvantage of the prior art solution is that one or more administrators are required to maintain the address book, and the construction and maintenance of the address book is not automated enough.

Summary of the invention

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for quickly establishing a group communication group for the above prior art, which can realize automatic establishment, automatic discovery, and automatic maintenance of a group group.

The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problem is: a method for rapidly establishing a group communication group, which is characterized in that: an operation interface for a user is provided, and the operation interface provides a menu or a button to prompt the operator to join the There is a group or a new group, and the following mechanism is constructed: if the user selects a new group, the other users in the private network of the user are detected and displayed, and the user inputs the group name to directly create a group, and by checking or selecting Invite other users. The newly created group ID number is assigned by the public network server connected to the private network of the user. At this time, other users will receive a message to join the group. When other users confirm, they join the new group. If the user chooses to join the existing group, the other established groups in the private network of the user are detected and displayed, and the user can directly join the existing group; if the user does not find the group in the private network Group, the user manually enters the group name or group ID number to find the group from the fuzzy matching in the public network server connected to the private network of the user. Group, at this time the user can apply to join an existing group.

As an improvement, when the user selects a new group, the following methods are used to detect and display other users in the private network of the user:

The connection client with the same public network address on the public network server connected to the private network of the user is searched, and the connection clients with the same public network address are defined as users in the same private network; when a user requests from the public network server When a new group is created, the public network server randomly assigns a unique public network ID and returns the list of other users in the same private network to the requesting user. At this time, the user can choose to invite other members. After the invited member, the user sends the selected member to the public network server, and the public network server sends the push information to the other invited users, and the invited other users join the new group after confirming.

The foregoing private network may be a simple local area network, or may be a local area network having multiple router cascade structures. Different subnets in the local area network have different network segments, and may also be part of a certain local area network.

Further improvement, when a new group with a unique public network ID is established, all users of the group will save the group ID, because the public network ID of the newly created group is allocated by the public network server, After a user in the group leaves the current private network, the user can continue to access the group, and can dynamically update group members and invite other members to join the group.

Further improvement, when a new user enters the private network of the user, the user can send an invitation message to invite the new user to enter the existing group: and the new user can send a group query command to the public network server, and the public network server returns the new user. The group information of the group members that already exist in the private network. The group information includes at least the group ID, the group name, the user who created the group, and the number of groups. The new user can choose to join the corresponding group; When multiple groups are available, you can choose to join multiple groups.

Further improvement, when a user who has joined the group enters another private network, the public network server discovers and invites new users who are in the same private network as the user, and the public network server defines by connecting the client with the same public network address. New users in the same private network.

To improve, when the user creates a new group, enter the group name to be authenticated by the public network server. The group name after the authentication is passed is unique to the entire network.

Further improvement, users in the group can post announcements in the group, and can also reply to the announcement.

Further improvement, the users in the group can set personal privacy to prevent other users from discovering and forcing them to join the group. When the personal privacy is set, other users in the group and users who create the group can only find the individual. The way the identification number is manually invited to join the group;

Groups can also set group privacy. When group privacy is set, other users can only apply to join the group by manually searching for the group ID or group name.

Further improvement, the user who creates the group can set the rules for joining the new user according to the needs of different scenarios, including whether to confirm to join, whether the group announcement is public to all groups, or only the users in the group. The user who created the group automatically becomes the group administrator. The user who creates the group can specify other members of the group to become administrators. If the user who creates the group withdraws from the group by itself or gives up the administrator rights, it will not affect other users. The administrator will not close the group.

Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the advantages that the present invention uses the private network to access the public network to perform the N:1 network address mapping mechanism, establishes an operation interface, and constructs a series of mechanisms to implement members. Discovery, group discovery, and group self-service maintenance.

detailed description

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

The present invention provides a method for quickly establishing a group communication group. The method first constructs an operation interface for a user, and the operation interface provides a menu or a button to prompt the operator to join an existing group or a new group, and construct the same. The following mechanism is used: If the user selects a new group, the other users in the private network of the user are detected and displayed. The user inputs the group name to directly create a group, and invites other users by checking or selecting all the newly created group IDs. The number is assigned by the public network server connected to the private network of the user. At this time, other users will receive a message to join the group. When other users confirm, they join the new group. If the user chooses to join the existing group. , the other established groups in the private network of the user are detected and displayed, and the user can directly select to join an existing group; if the group is not found in the private network where the user is located, the user manually enters the group name or The group ID number is found by the fuzzy matching in the public network server connected to the private network of the user. In this case, the user can apply to join an existing group. group.

The mechanism of construction can be broken down as follows:

[Group Creation]:

When a user selects a new group, the network address mapping method is used to detect and display other users in the private network of the user. The specific mode is as follows:

The connection client with the same public network address on the public network server connected to the private network of the user is searched, and the connection clients with the same public network address are defined as users in the same private network; when a user requests from the public network server When a new group is created, the public network server randomly assigns a unique public network ID and returns the list of other users in the same private network to the requesting user. At this time, the user can choose to invite other members. When the user chooses to invite After the member, the user sends the selected member to the public network server, and the public network server sends the push information to the other invited users. After the other users are invited to join, the new group is added.

Here, the concept of network address mapping is that a private network address and port of a terminal in a private network are mapped to a public network address and one of the ports, and different private network addresses and ports correspond to different public network ports, and the public network address is only One. For example, in Figure 1, the address and port of a terminal application in the private network are 192.168.0.10:5050, corresponding to the public network address and port 10.63.37.72:12300, and the other terminal application address and port 192.168.0.20:6060 correspond to the public network address. And port 10.63.37.72:13902; the public network address here is the same, the public network port is different. The server on the public network can know the private network address of each connected terminal and its mapped public network address. Therefore, by finding the connected terminals of the same public network address, it can be known that they are all in the same private network.

A local area network (LAN) is also called a private network. It is usually connected to a public network (such as the Internet) through one or more routers. By deploying a public network server on the public network, you can ensure that users on the LAN connected to the public network can create new ones. A globally unique group of identifiers, where the logo refers to the name of the group.

LANs have a certain degree of privacy. For example, wired LANs usually connect terminals through network cables. Wireless LANs usually need to connect passwords to ensure the legitimacy of private users. The same group often uses one or more public networks on the LAN. It is logical in many cases to group users in a LAN into groups.

The private network defined by the present invention may be a simple local area network, see FIG. 2; it may also be a private network with a cascade structure of many routers, and different subnets in the private network have different network segments, see FIG. 3; It may be just a part of a local area network. Terminals on the same network segment may have different gateway exit addresses, see Figure 4. Establishing a group through a private network. The current general idea is to use a private network broadcast address for broadcast. However, in many cases, the mobile device cannot receive broadcast information in the local area network. In the manner provided by the present invention, the push is sent through the public network server. The information is implemented by other invited users, making it easy and convenient to set up a group.

[group ID]

When a new group with a unique public network ID is established, all users of the group will save the group ID. Since the public network ID of the newly created group is assigned by the public network server, when the group is After a user leaves the current private network, the user can continue to access the group, and can dynamically update group members and invite other members to join the group.

[group discovery]

When a new user enters the private network of the user, the user can send an invitation message to invite the new user to enter the existing group; and the new user can send a group query command to the public network server, and the public network server returns the private network of the new user. a plurality of group information of the group members already existing, the group information includes at least a group ID, a group name, a user who creates the group, a group number, and group authentication information. As shown in FIG. 5, the new user may Select to join the corresponding group; when multiple groups are found, you can choose to join multiple groups. Of course, to ensure the integrity, you can also find the group by ID and name.

[inviting members]

As mentioned earlier, members can be invited when the group is created. Similarly, after the group is created, the public network server is used to discover and invite new members on the same private network. The public network server defines a rule that is in the same private network as the user by retrieving the client with the same public network address, and filters the member information that is already the group.

To ensure completeness, you can also invite them to join by entering a user ID.

When a user who creates a group manually adds a group member, the user may not be required to confirm the joining of the group. It is not required that the other party is a user of a particular communication application, but only provides different representations (such as colors) after the other party confirms to distinguish. The purpose of this is to apply the invention to the group address book, and the user can even use the regular telephone or mail to establish contact with the members of the root address book, instead of establishing a chat room, a temporary group, and the like. Closed application. After being confirmed by the invited members, it can be further explained that he also uses the same communication system, and you have a stronger means of communication with him.

[group authentication]

When the group name is not authenticated, the group name can have the same name. To avoid confusion, the authenticated group name should be unique across the network to facilitate user identification. Therefore, in order to prevent the group name from being maliciously preempted, the present invention also provides a group authentication service, and the group authentication has two types of methods. First, the applicant submits the group's offline entity information for authentication. The entity information includes trademarks, business licenses, and nationally recognized community certificates. Second, through group member voting system, members of the group vote for more people. Certification. The group authentication method takes the first method as a higher priority, that is, the group name that has already been authenticated can also be replaced by the new group, as long as the new group administrator can provide more powerful entity evidence. The second method is applicable to the unauthenticated group with the same name. The specific solution is that the user who creates the group submits an authentication request to the public network server, and the public network server issues the authentication voting information to the group members through the advertisement. Get certified.

Through the authentication service, although the user can search for some group names with the same name, it can be guaranteed that only one is the "official" group that is certified to avoid confusion.

[group announcement]

Different from the group service such as the chat room, the group established by the invention is more suitable for the group to provide the information publishing path to the user in an announcement manner. Group announcements are similar to simple BBS, and members of the group can post announcements and respond to announcements.

[Privacy Control]

To avoid interference with information, individual users can set personal privacy to prevent others from discovering and forcing them to join the group. When personal privacy is set, group members and administrators can only manually invite them to join by looking up the personal identification number. Group.

Groups can also set group privacy. After the administrator can turn off the ability to be discovered by the private network, the current group can be prevented from being discovered by other unified private network users. When the group privacy is set, the individual users can only manually search for the group. The group ID or group name is applied to join the group.

[Permission Control]

The group administrator sets the rules for joining new members according to the needs of different scenarios, including whether to confirm to join, whether the group announcement is open to everyone, or only within the group. For example, in a public free WiFi network in a coffee shop, in order to consider convenience, any group of people can be allowed to join when creating a new group, which is beneficial to the cafe to quickly accumulate customers. Another example is that in a company's WiFi network, for security, the newly added members should be confirmed by the administrator, and those who temporarily use the network (such as customers) should be added to the company communication group.

Group administrators can also set whether group members can discover and invite new members through this patented method. If this setting is turned on, the size of the group may expand as quickly as virus replication. This permission needs to be set carefully.

The user who created the group automatically becomes the group administrator, but he can also specify other members of the group to become administrators; if he withdraws from the group himself, or gives up the administrator rights, because the group information is saved in the global server. Therefore, it will not affect other administrators, and will not close this group.
