EIM session management method and system reusing existing groups

Abstract

The invention discloses an EIM session management method reusing existing groups. The method comprises the steps that: group members of a group to be created are selected; a client initiates a group creating request according to the group members; the server judges whether the group members have a group list, the group list is a list of an existing group, and the group members of the existing group belong to the group members of the group to be created; if the group list exists, the group list is returned to the client; and if the group list does not exist, a new group is created. Correspondingly, the invention further discloses an EIM session management system reusing the existing groups. The usage efficiency is substantially improved by the EIM session management method and system when the number of the groups is relatively large, searching is difficult and the group members of the group to be created are totally identical with those of the existing group, so that repeated group creation for the same group members is avoided, group sharing information can be browsed, the time of a user is saved, the user does not need to search for or remember the existing groups, the group list can be directly displayed when the group members of the group to be created are directly selected, the experience of the user is improved, the historical messages of the groups are continued, and fractional groups are reduced.
