Instant messaging method

Abstract

The invention provides an instant messaging method. The method comprises the following steps: determining a second client communicating with a first communication client, and sending offline information to the second client; and receiving a communication message sent by the second client, wherein the communication message is an instant message in which the second client receives the offline information and generates confirmation information containing the offline information. According to the instant messaging method provided by the invention, after an offline instant messaging user checks the offline information, offline information receiving confirmation information is fed back to the IM user of the offline information, so that the instant messaging user sending the offline information is clear whether the sent offline information is checked by the contact, thereby facilitating the communication between the instant messaging user and the offline instant messaging user, and greatly improving the usability of instant messaging software and the communication validity between the instant messaging users.

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of instant communication, and in particular relates to an instant communication method. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of IM technology, IM software has become one of the indispensable communication tools for network users. [0003] At present, the IM software used by network users can basically support the real-time message communication of two IM users, that is, information interaction and communication can be carried out through instant messages between two online IM users. In some special cases, if one of the IM users is offline, another IM user can also send an offline message to the offline IM user through the IM software. This kind of offline message needs to use the IM server as an intermediary device to cache and manage the message.
