A method and system for creating network chat platform

[0031] The basic idea of ​​the present invention is: the user determines the theme and sends the creation information to the server, the server creates the chat room required by the user according to the received creation information, and notifies the chat room creation initiating client and other application clients.

[0032] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the composition structure of the system for creating a chat platform according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the system includes a chat room creation initiating client 11 and a server background chat room creation system 12.

[0033] Among them, the chat room creation initiation client 11 is used to provide users with an operation interface for creating chat rooms, collect creation information submitted by users, initiate the creation of chat rooms actively, and transmit the collected creation information to the server background chat room creation system 12 .

[0034] Here, the creation information submitted by the user refers to the information required to create the chat room input through the interface, including at least: subject, creator, creation time, special settings, etc. Generally, when a user needs to create his own chat room, he can click the Create Chat Room option on the chat interface and enter the operation interface for creating a chat room, and enter the information needed to create a chat room according to the prompt information in the interface. Among them, the option to create a chat room is preset, and the operation interface for creating a chat room is provided by the relevant software pre-loaded on the client. How these two parts are implemented as existing technologies and is not the focus of the present invention. Detailed.

[0035] The chat room creation and initiation client 11 may further include a chat room management and maintenance module, which is used to maintain and manage chat room information and usage, generally including: room theme, announcements, and room order. If someone’s chat authority is suspended, Someone kicked out of the room and waited. Specifically, each client is provided with a management interface, and various attribute options are set in the management interface, and the user can maintain the chat room by inputting updated setting information. In other words, when a user creates a chat room and needs to maintain and manage the chat room, the user opens the management interface; re-enters the settings to be updated, such as: changing the room theme, issuing a new announcement, or , Select other users currently participating in the chat, and change the attributes of the selected user, such as prohibiting participation in chat, etc.; then the client will submit the updated information to the server, and the server will update the information in the information storage center after receiving it. If the server is required to operate, the server will perform corresponding operations based on the information sent by the client, for example: kick the specified user in the designated chat room out of the chat room; after that, the server will notify all clients of the updated information, or Publish notifications based on a certain update status, such as: notifying all users that a user has been kicked out of a chat room.

[0036] The server background chat room creation system 12 is responsible for receiving the chat room creation information submitted by the chat room creation initiation client 11, creates a chat room according to the received creation information, and notifies the chat room creation and origination of the chat room information of the created chat room Client 11. Here, the process and method of creating a chat room is the same as that of directly creating a chat room on an existing server. When a chat room is created, the chat room number will be assigned, the corresponding space will be assigned, and the creator authority will be set.

[0037] In order to save the chat room information of the created chat room, the system of the present invention further includes an information storage center 13 for storing chat room information, the chat room information including the chat room number, subject, creator, creation time, classification, and so on. Correspondingly, the server background chat room creation system 12 is also responsible for submitting the created chat room information to the information storage center 13.

[0038]In order to notify each user of the created chat room information, the system of the present invention further includes an information distribution unit 14 and one or more application clients. Among them, the information distribution unit 14 is responsible for taking out the created chat room information from the information storage center 13 and transmitting it to each application client to ensure that the created chat room can be seen by all users so that different users can meet their own needs Make a selection. Here, what the information distribution unit transmits to the application client is only the most basic information of the chat room, that is to say, the information distribution unit only transmits the entry information of a chat room to the client.

[0039] After each application client receives the new chat room information, each creates a chat room entrance, that is, the entrance of the chat room. When a user needs to enter the corresponding chat room, he needs to enter from the entrance, and build the corresponding chat room on his client after entering, such as allocating the corresponding space. Here, how to create an entrance, enter an entrance, and build a chat room is the same as the process in which the client knows that a certain chat room exists and enters in the prior art, and will not be repeated here.

[0040] At the same time, the information distribution unit 14 is also responsible for collecting chat room usage information, and submits the collected chat room usage information to the information storage center 13 for storage. The chat room usage information includes the number of people using the chat room, usage time, etc. . Correspondingly, the information storage center 13 is also used to save chat room usage information.

[0041] In order to ensure reasonable use of resources and improve resource utilization, the chat room creation system of the present invention further includes a chat room background management system 15, which is used to manage chat rooms based on the chat room usage information provided by the information storage center 13. For example: when a chat room created by a user is found that no one is online for a certain period of time, the corresponding chat room will be recycled.

[0042] Based on the system structure shown in Fig. 1, the method for creating a chat platform proposed by the present invention is shown in Fig. 2, and includes the following steps:

[0043] Step 201: When the user needs to create a chat room, collect creation information and initiate a creation request to the server, and submit the collected creation information to the server.

[0044] Wherein, the creation information includes at least subject, creator, creation time, etc. The creation information can be carried in the creation request and sent to the server.

[0045] Here, the collection and creation information means that the user inputs the information needed to create the chat room according to the prompt information in the interface through the operation interface of creating the chat room.

[0046] Here, the reason why the user needs to create a chat room may be that a new theme is discovered that is not available in the existing chat room, or it may be because the chat room of a theme is full of people, etc.

[0047] Step 202: After the server receives the user's creation request, it can perform basic identity authentication on the user first, and then check whether the creation information meets the requirements, such as whether all necessary creation information is provided. After the authentication and testing are passed, the server Create a chat room according to the received creation information, and notify the user who initiated the request of the chat room information of the created chat room.

[0048] In this step, the user's identity authentication and the detection of creation information need not be done. The process and method of creating a chat room are the same as the existing server directly creating a chat room. When creating a chat room, at least the chat room number must be assigned, the corresponding space should be allocated for the created chat room, and the creator authority should be set, such as modification How to deal with permissions, delete permissions, etc. will not be repeated here.

[0049] After step 202, the method may further include the steps of: saving the chat room information of the created chat room, and sending the chat room information to each user, so that each user can choose to enter the chat room of interest according to his own needs . After each user receives the chat room information, they need to create an entrance to the corresponding chat room on the client to which they belong. Wherein, the chat room information includes chat room number, subject, creator, creation time, classification, etc.

[0050] The method may further include the steps of collecting information about the usage of the chat room in real time, and managing the chat room according to the current usage of the chat room. For example, if a chat room created by a user is not online for a certain period of time, it will Recall the corresponding chat room. Here, the usage information of the chat room includes at least: the number of people using the chat room, usage time, and so on.

[0051] In the present invention, the user who creates the chat room can also maintain and manage the created chat room through the management interface, such as resetting the chat room information, maintaining the order of the chat room, and so on. The main implementation method is: input the attribute or information that needs to be updated, and submit the updated data to the server, and the server will update the stored information, and notify each user of the updated data, or issue a notice based on the updated information.

[0052] In the present invention, the chat room creation initiation client and application client can be any instant messaging client. The server background chat room creation system, information storage center and information distribution unit are all located on the server side.

[0053] Using the method and system of the present invention, the user can create a chat room with a desired theme according to his or her own individual needs, or when a major news or hot topic occurs, the user can create a chat room with a related theme. Initiate discussions and exchanges on related topics.

[0054] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
