Instant messaging method and system for third-party application

Abstract

The invention discloses an instant messaging method and system for a third-party application. The instant messaging method includes: registering the third-party application on an open instant messaging platform through appid acquired by pre-application and SDK (software development kit) components when the third-party application is started; providing an open API (application program interface) for the registered third-party application by the open instant messaging platform, and transmitting information with the third-party application through the open API. By the open API of the open instant messaging platform, the third-party application can transmit information with the open instant messaging platform, can actively or passively provide media content to the open instant messaging platform, an instant messaging terminal carried on the open instant messaging platform displays the media content in friends' dialog boxes or transmits to friend circles, and more third-party applications can participate in the open instant messaging platform, and the media content for the instant messaging terminal is richer and wider in sources, and more attractive to user groups.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of instant messaging, in particular to an instant messaging method and system for third-party applications. Background technique [0002] With the development of Internet technology, various Instant Messaging (IM, Instant Messaging) technologies continue to emerge.

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, existing instant messaging tools including microblogs cannot realize mutual activation and information transmission with third-party programs, such as some existing SNS (Social Networking Services, social network services) mobile communication software (such as microblog etc.), when communicating with third-party programs, only the third-party programs send information to the Web side through the open API (Application Programming Interface, application programming interface), and no mobile terminal programs start each other and transmit information implementation mode

As a result, the richness of the media content of the instant messaging terminal and the effect of user experience are greatly reduced.
