[0020] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present disclosure, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments.

[0021] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present disclosure and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so as to describe the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0022] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other. The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0023] The method of this embodiment can be stored in a storage medium, and the storage medium can be set in the email sender terminal and the email receiver terminal, so that the sender and the receiver can achieve the purpose of the invention by executing the method of this embodiment. It should be understood that, since for the same email account, it can be a sender or a receiver, therefore, when the terminal role is the sender, the steps executed by the sender terminal of this embodiment are executed; when the role of the same terminal is the receiver, the steps executed by the receiver terminal of this embodiment are executed. The method of this embodiment can be encapsulated as a plug-in and stored in the above-mentioned storage medium, and the sender terminal or the receiver terminal can install the storage medium.

[0024] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for exchanging enterprise data based on email is provided, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method realizes the control of the communication status of the document, including the following steps 101 to 104:

[0025] Step 101: After detecting that an email sending request is triggered by the sender, the sender terminal automatically configures a transmission protocol for transmitting the email based on the information of the electronic document in the email to obtain an initial email transmission protocol.

[0026] In this embodiment, the email sent by the sender through the server may include one or more documents. After the sender terminal triggers the email sending request, the transmission protocol can be automatically configured based on the information of the electronic document in the email. The information of the electronic document may include the type of the electronic document (the type may be multiple, such as invoices, receipts, etc.), the identifier of each electronic document (such as name), etc.

[0027] As an optional implementation of this embodiment, automatically configuring the transmission protocol for transmitting the email to obtain the initial email transmission protocol includes: extending the protocol header of the original transmission protocol on the original transmission protocol of the email.

[0028] In this optional implementation, the original transmission protocol can be a common email protocol for completing email transmission, such as the SMPT protocol, through which the transmission of emails can be achieved. That is, the original email transmission protocol can be an email transmission protocol in the prior art, or an undisclosed email transmission protocol in the future, which is not limited here. This embodiment aims to expand the original email transmission protocol to achieve the purpose of this implementation.

[0029] During the extension, the extension may be performed in various parts of the original mail transfer protocol, preferably, the protocol header of the original mail transfer protocol is extended, and the extension is implemented by extending fields in the protocol header.

[0030] As an optional implementation method of this embodiment, extending the protocol header of the original transmission protocol includes: pre-defining the protocol header for extending the original transmission protocol; during the automatic configuration, appending the pre-defined protocol header to the original transmission protocol; and assigning values ​​to preset fields in the transmission protocol after the appended protocol header.

[0031] In this optional implementation, during configuration, an extended protocol header may be first added to the original mail transmission protocol, such as the SMTP transmission protocol, and then after adding the protocol header, the preset fields in the protocol header may be assigned values ​​based on the document-related information in the email.

[0032] As an optional implementation method of this embodiment, the pre-defined protocol header for extending the original transmission protocol includes: defining an email identification field; defining an identification field for each document in the email, and a second preset field corresponding to each document; wherein assigning values ​​to the preset fields in the transmission protocol after the additional protocol header includes: automatically assigning a unique identification value to the email; and assigning a value to the identification field of the document based on the name of the electronic document in the email.

[0033] In this optional implementation, an email identification field can be defined during definition, and the email identification field is used to indicate the identity of the email. Then, during automatic value assignment, the email identification field is automatically assigned a value. By assigning a value to this field, the uniqueness of the email can be represented. By uniquely identifying the email, any email can be identified during the email exchange process, thereby achieving control over the email.

[0034] Furthermore, when an email is transmitted, the email may contain a document as an attachment. When a document is attached to an email sent by the sender, it is the appeal of most senders to promptly determine the progress of the recipient's response to the document. At the same time, it is also the need of the recipient to promptly feedback the content of the email (including documents, etc.) to the sender. However, the related art has not solved the technical pain points of the sender and the receiver. Therefore, when defining, the identification field of each electronic document can also be defined. The identification field of the electronic document is used to indicate the identity of the electronic document. When automatically assigning a value, the field can be assigned based on the name of the document to achieve the representation of the uniqueness of the document. Exemplarily, if the email contains multiple documents, the document identification field can be used to distinguish each document, ensure the uniqueness of the document, and then achieve precise control of the documents in the email. For example, the document identification field is docID, and its value can be any value. For example, docID=1 indicates the first document in the email. docID=2 can indicate the second document in the email.

[0035] Furthermore, during the definition, a second preset field of each electronic document, namely, a status field, may also be defined. The value of the status field is determined based on the parameters returned by the receiving terminal. For example, the status field may be defined as "ack". If the value is automatically configured, there is no need to assign a value to the field. The value of the field may indicate what operation the receiving party has performed on the content in the email. For example, when the ack value is a first preset value, it may indicate that the electronic document has been received; when the value is a second preset value, it may indicate that the electronic document has been read; when the value is a third preset value, it may indicate that the electronic document has been fed back (e.g., confirmed, rejected, etc.).

[0036] As an optional implementation method of this embodiment, a field for the type of document in the email is defined, wherein a value is assigned to a field for the type of document in the transmission protocol after the additional protocol header; a field indicating feedback information from the recipient is defined; a version number field is defined, wherein assigning a value to a preset field in the transmission protocol after the additional protocol header includes: assigning a value to the version number field; and / or defining a field indicating content returned by the recipient.

[0037] In this optional implementation, different documents may have different types, such as invoices, documents, etc. A field indicating the document type may be pre-defined and assigned a value to the field indicating the document type. Different values ​​may indicate different types of documents. For example, the field indicating the document type is defined as t, and the value of t may be einvoice, representing that the document is an invoice type, or quote, representing that the document is a document type.

[0038] Furthermore, different values ​​of different version number fields can represent different versions, such as V=1 represents version 1, and V=2 represents another version 2; different business versions can be mapped with a set of extension parts with different fields as described above (i.e., the content of the protocol header). Multiple sets of standard business fields can also be mapped. Exemplarily, under different business versions, different business types can determine unique standard business fields. For example, in version 1, if the content of an email is an invoice type, the default business fields are: b1=...; b2=...; b3=... Each field is determined based on the business data in the email, such as unit price, quantity, amount, etc., and its value is configurable. Through standardized fields, it can be used to standardize the content of documents, and then different documents can be automatically assigned to different business systems for processing.

[0039] Furthermore, after reading the email content, the recipient may feedback specific information. Therefore, this embodiment defines a field indicating the return of specific information (the field of returned content), such as msg, whose value can be the returned specific information, including information returned by the recipient regarding the email content, such as content related to the unit price; it can also be specific error information returned after the recipient fails to receive the email, such as the return status code to determine whether it is a network reason or a domain name reason.

[0040] Exemplarily, through the above definition, the content of the protocol header can be as follows: X-Control-Exchange:v=1;t=einvoice;docId=588c72c8-2b61-11ed-a261-0242ac120002;ack=;msg=accepted; This is merely exemplary.

[0041] Step 102: The sender terminal interacts with the server based on the initial mail transfer protocol to send the mail to the recipient.

[0042] In this embodiment, the transmission of email data between the sender and the receiver can be achieved based on the configured initial email transmission protocol.

[0043] Step 103: The sender terminal automatically returns parameters to the server at the receiver terminal, and the server updates the initial mail transfer protocol based on the returned parameters, and after obtaining the target mail transfer protocol, automatically receives the reply mail sent by the server through the target mail transfer protocol.

[0044] In this optional implementation, after installing the plug-in encapsulated by the method of this embodiment, the receiving terminal mentioned above can automatically detect the user's operations on the electronic document in the email, and return different parameters to the server based on different operations. After receiving the value, the server assigns the value to the document status field in the aforementioned protocol header, obtains the updated target email transfer protocol after the assignment, and sends different reply content to the sending terminal based on the target email transfer protocol.

[0045] As an optional implementation of this embodiment, the recipient automatically returns the parameters to the server including: the recipient terminal automatically detects the user's operation on the electronic document in the email; and automatically returns the parameters to the server based on the result obtained by the automatic detection.

[0046] In this optional implementation, after the receiving terminal receives the email sent by the server, the receiving terminal can operate any document in the email, and the operation can be divided into three states: received, read, and feedback (for example, confirmed, rejected, etc.). The operation can be determined as needed and is not limited here. After installing the plug-in that encapsulates the method of this embodiment, the receiving terminal can detect the user's operation and return parameters to the server based on the receiving terminal's operation.

[0047] For example, if the recipient receives the email, the returned ack value may be 1; if the recipient opens the email or document, the returned ack value may be 2; if the recipient confirms the email content, the returned ack value may be 3. The ack value may also be RECD, indicating successful reception; READ, indicating read; ACCT, indicating acceptance of the document content. The content of the field and the value are not limited here.

[0048] Step 104: After receiving the reply email, the sender terminal parses the target email transfer protocol to obtain a parsing result; and updates the status of the electronic document in the email based on the parsing result.

[0049] In this embodiment, after receiving the reply email from the server, the sending terminal can parse the target email transfer protocol to parse out the value of the second preset field (status field) under each document identifier. The value of the second preset field is used as the basis for changing the status of the electronic document to change the status of the electronic document, such as changing it to a received status, a read status, or a feedback status.

[0050] This embodiment is based on an open email system and has global uniform operability. Almost all enterprises are using email systems, and using email systems to process enterprise data exchange is the easiest to implement and implement. By defining the electronic data exchange status control standard of this embodiment, the standardization of enterprise data exchange is achieved, which solves the problem that ordinary mail does not have status control; by expanding the email system to achieve data exchange, the enterprise software investment cost can be reduced to the maximum extent.

[0051] This embodiment overcomes the defects of data exchange through ordinary emails, such as being unable to confirm the delivery status, being unable to confirm whether the document is legal or exists; it overcomes the defects of manual reading prone to errors and loopholes, untimely responses, and low communication efficiency; it overcomes the defects of communication based on ordinary emails being a loose communication method and lacking constraints on both parties in communication. If the other party does not reply to the email, relevant communication evidence cannot be obtained. It avoids disputes between enterprises due to asynchronous status of enterprise data.

[0052] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for controlling enterprise data exchange based on an email protocol is also provided, and the role of the execution subject of the method can be a receiving end. It includes: after receiving the email sent by the sending terminal through the server, the receiving terminal automatically detects the user's operation on the electronic document in the email, wherein the sending terminal interacts with the server through the initial email transfer protocol; based on the result obtained by the automatic detection, the receiving terminal automatically returns parameters to the server, so that the server updates the initial email transfer protocol based on the returned parameters, and after obtaining the target email transfer protocol, automatically sends a reply email to the sending terminal through the target email transfer protocol, wherein after receiving the reply email, the sender parses the target email transfer protocol to obtain the parsing result; and based on the parsing result, updates the status of the electronic document in the email.

[0053] As an optional implementation method of this embodiment, after detecting that the email sending request is triggered by the sender, the sender terminal automatically configures the transmission protocol for transmitting the email based on the information of the electronic document in the email to obtain an initial email transmission protocol; the sender terminal interacts with the server based on the initial email transmission protocol to send the email to the recipient.

[0054] The receiving end of this embodiment can achieve the invention purpose of this application by executing the above method and cooperating with the sending end. This embodiment enables the sending end to automatically receive feedback on the status of the electronic document in a timely manner, thereby avoiding disputes between enterprises due to asynchronous status of enterprise data.
