Method for searching instantaneous communication user in LAN

Abstract

The provided search method for IM user in a LAN comprises: the IM user sends directly broadcast detecting information contained self receive address toward other IM users, other user returns response information contained self information. This invention frees from IM center server, simplifies search process, and benefit to add member.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of instant messaging, in particular to a method for searching instant messaging (IM) users in a local area network. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of IM technology, IM tools have become a relatively common communication tool, and more and more users use IM tools for communication. Users send and receive IM through IM clients to achieve the purpose of quickly transmitting messages. [0003] At present, many enterprises use their local area network for IM, that is, use IM tools to realize communication among employees within the enterprise. In this case, usually a member in the enterprise initiates the establishment of an IM group, and then invites other IM users in the enterprise to join the group. In the prior art, the group initiator generally invites users to join in two ways: the first way, the group initiator knows in advance the IM number of the group candidate IM user that it...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Obviously, the first method is more cumbersome to implement. The group initiator must know the IM numbers of the group candidate IM users one by one before they can send invitations. For the case of large candidate IM users, the workload of the group initiator is too large. Big

[0005] Although the second method utilizes the IM central server to search for group candidate IM users, it also has the following defects: first, the number of users connected to the IM central server is very large, and the probability of receiving search requests from many group initiators is very high. Therefore, the IM center server is prone to congestion or delay; secondly, the IM center server usually searches based on the search conditions that limit the user's gender, age, or city, but cannot search all IM users in the same LAN, so the IM center The server cannot effectively realize the search for IM users inside the LAN
