Protocol gateway and method supporting interconnection and interworking of enterprise-class instant messaging systems

Abstract

The invention discloses a protocol gateway supporting interconnection and interworking of enterprise-class instant messaging systems. The protocol gateway comprises a register manager, a friend manager, a sound monitor, a basic transmitter and a conversation server, wherein the register manager manages and configures the register binding between internal users and external users, the friend manager calls a friend list API of an external proprietary protocol instant messaging system, reads the friend list, displays the friend list to an internal enterprise-class instant messaging system and marks the external instant messaging system, the sound monitor monitors the messaging requests between the internal users and the external users, the basic transmitter connects an internal server address and an external server address in a bi-directional mode, an identifier is removed when the internal users connect the external users, the identifier is added when the external users connect the internal users, the conversation server finishes messaging between the users of the internal enterprise-class instant messaging system and the users of the external instant messaging system. The protocol gateway and method achieve interconnection and interworking of the different instant messaging platforms, and are high in safety.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a protocol gateway and a method for supporting interconnection and intercommunication of enterprise-level instant messaging systems. Background technique [0002] The communication between users in different network structure systems on the Internet should not be hindered by different independent systems. Just like the current e-mail, users of different mailbox systems can send messages to each other. E-mail, for example, users of NetEase 163 mailboxes can send emails to Sina mailbox users, mobile phone mailbox users, QQ mailbox users, etc. Of course, the above-mentioned mailbox users can also send emails to NetEase 163 mailbox users. The e-mail communication between these e-mail systems has not been affected in any way due to the e-mail protocol adopted or the network structure in which they are located. [0003] Compared with the interconnection between different mailbox systems, at ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] (1) On the one hand, there are great differences in communication protocols, service function interfaces, and data format descriptions;

[0005] (2) On the other hand, instant messaging service providers rely on their unique value-added service operation mode and are unwilling to interconnect with other instant messaging platforms, which makes it impossible for different instant messaging systems to communicate with each other and hinders the communication between users of different instant messaging platforms. instant message exchange

[0007] (1) Users can only communicate with friends and users on the same instant messaging platform, forming an "information island";

[0008] (2) Due to product and market advantages, instant messaging services will form a near-monopoly situation. For example, compared with other instant messaging systems, Tencent occupies a...
