[0021] It should be noted that the terms "a" and "a plurality of" used in this disclosure are illustrative rather than restrictive, and those skilled in the art should understand that, unless otherwise expressly indicated in the context, they should be understood as "one or more".

[0022] The names of messages or information exchanged between multiple devices in the embodiments of this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of such messages or information.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 This illustrates a flow diagram of an embodiment of the information interaction method according to the present disclosure. This information interaction method is applied to a terminal device. For example... Figure 1 The information interaction method shown includes the following steps:

[0024] Step 101: In response to a pre-defined team creation operation, identify at least one target group.

[0025] In this embodiment, the entity executing the information interaction method (e.g., a terminal device, or a client installed on the terminal device, such as an IM client) can identify at least one target group in response to a preset team creation operation.

[0026] Here, the at least one target group is a group that was created before the team creation operation.

[0027] In some applications, a group can be understood as a group chat. Multiple users can send messages and perform other actions within a group chat. For example, this could be a group within an instant messaging tool.

[0028] Here, the specific operation method of the above-mentioned preset team creation operation can be set according to the actual application scenario, and is not limited here.

[0029] As an example, the team creation operation described above may include clicking a preset team creation control.

[0030] Step 102: Determine the team member set based on the members included in at least one target group to create a team.

[0031] Here, the team is associated with at least one information interaction tool, and the information in the at least one information interaction tool can be accessed by at least some members of the team member set.

[0032] In some embodiments, the information interaction tool includes groups.

[0033] Here, the relationship between the members of at least one target group and the set of team members can be varied. For example, the set of team members can be the same as the members of at least one target group. As another example, the aforementioned set of team members can be a subset of the members of at least one target group.

[0034] Optionally, if the aforementioned team member set is a subset of the members included in at least one target group, those users who are members of the target group but not team members may have been filtered out using various preset rules. As an example, after identifying at least one target group, the member identifiers of the target group can be displayed to the currently logged-in user. Then, the currently logged-in user can select members to be filtered out. Finally, the members of the target group excluding those to be filtered out can be defined as the team member set.

[0035] It should be noted that the information interaction method shown in this embodiment, in response to a preset team creation operation, can determine at least one target group, which is a group that has been created before the team creation operation; then, based on the members included in the at least one target group, a team member set is determined to create a team. Thus, a new method for team creation can be provided.

[0036] In some embodiments of an instant messaging (IM) system, the creation of a team begins by defining a fixed group of contacts as a team member set. In the IM interface, the team's existence is perceived by the user through a team identifier. Each team is associated with at least one group based on its member set. Here, the group serves as the medium for multi-person information interaction in the instant messaging system; since groups are existing technology, they will not be elaborated upon further.

[0037] It should be noted that this new team creation method can improve the speed of team creation. Specifically, the interactive method provided in this embodiment creates teams based on existing groups, reducing the time users spend selecting team members and thus increasing the speed of team creation.

[0038] In some embodiments, the information interaction tool may include groups.

[0039] In some embodiments, the method further includes associating the at least one target group with the created team.

[0040] Here, after the team is created, the target group is associated with the team. This can be understood as the members of the target group becoming groups under the team, and the groups under the team can be called team groups.

[0041] In some application scenarios, team groups can be displayed on the team showcase page.

[0042] It should be noted that after creating a team based on a target group, establishing a relationship between the target group and the team can automatically create information interaction tools (such as group chats) for the team, saving users the step of creating separate information interaction tools (such as group chats) for the team, and improving the efficiency of operations on the team.

[0043] In some embodiments, the method further includes: if the determined target group is one, identifying the target group as a first type group associated with the team.

[0044] Here, the members of the first type of group are consistent with the members of the team, and while the team exists, the first type of group cannot be disbanded or its association with the team cannot be severed. Specifically, no disbanding control or a control to sever the association with the team is provided.

[0045] In some application scenarios, Type 1 groups can be used to display team notifications. When a team exists, Type 1 groups can be understood as the default communication group. This default communication group needs to display team-level notifications and therefore cannot be disbanded or unlinked from the team.

[0046] Here, the members of the first type group and the members of the team are the same, and can include: if a new member is added to the first type group, the new member can be added as a team member; if a member is deleted from the first type group, the member can be deleted from the team; if a new member is added to the team, the new member can be added to the first type group; if a member is deleted from the team, the member can be deleted from the first type group accordingly.

[0047] Therefore, when the number of target groups is 1, setting the target group as the first type of group in team management can save the step of creating a new group for the team and reduce the number of user operation steps; in addition, the establishment of the first type of group as soon as possible can enable team notifications to be delivered as soon as possible, improving the efficiency of information exchange within the team.

[0048] In some embodiments, the method further includes: if the determined target groups are at least two, determining the group members of a first type of group based on the union of the group members of the at least two target groups, and creating a first type of group.

[0049] Here, if there are at least two target groups, the union of the members of these two groups (including duplicate members in these target groups) can be obtained. Then, based on user selection or preset exclusion rules, all or some members can be selected as group members of the first type of group, and the first type of group can be created.

[0050] Therefore, based on the members of the target group, the system automatically creates a first-type group for the team, avoiding the need for users to create the first-type group themselves, thus reducing user operations. Furthermore, automatically creating the first-type group, compared to requiring users to create it manually, speeds up the process, allowing team notifications to be delivered more quickly and improving the efficiency of information exchange within the team.

[0051] In some embodiments, once a team is created, the at least one target group is not associated with the created team.

[0052] In some application scenarios, after a team is created, it may not be necessary to establish a link between the target group and the created team. Thus, the team and the target group are independent of each other; the team is simply established by leveraging the existing members of the target group. Maintaining independence ensures that communication among existing members of the target group is not affected by the team, and communication within the team does not interfere with information exchange within the target group. This allows users to engage in information exchange appropriate to the specific scenario (e.g., within a team or a target group).

[0053] In some embodiments, the method further includes: displaying group session information of the target group in the team's session stream in response to a new message being generated by a target group, and displaying the group session information of the target group in the session stream when a session filter other than the team filter is selected.

[0054] Here, new messages may be generated in the target group for various reasons. For example, the group may automatically send group notifications (such as group members leaving the group), or members in the target group may send new messages to the group chat. These situations may cause new messages to be generated in the target group.

[0055] Here, the team's conversation stream is used in instant messaging applications to centrally display group conversation information belonging to a team.

[0056] In some application scenarios, various conversation filter icons can be displayed on the instant messaging application's interface. Under each different conversation filter icon, the corresponding conversation information can be displayed. For example, conversation filter icons can include unread message icons, which can correspond to unread conversation information; conversation filter icons can include team filter icons, which can display conversation information belonging to a team group; conversation filter icons can include a general conversation filter icon, which can display conversation information for various types of conversations in the instant messaging application.

[0057] In some scenarios, the overall conversation flow interface can display various conversations from instant messaging applications, such as one-on-one conversations and group conversations. The group conversations displayed in the overall conversation flow interface may be from groups that are related to the team, or they may be from groups that are not related to the team.

[0058] Here, when a new message is generated in the target group, the message information is displayed not only in the team's conversation stream but also in the conversation streams corresponding to other conversation filter identifiers. This ensures that new message information is promptly communicated to different areas of the instant messaging application, preventing users from missing new messages.

[0059] In some embodiments, determining at least one target group in response to a preset team creation operation includes: displaying a first control on a first group interface of the first group; and determining the first group as the target group in response to an operation on the first control in the first group interface.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This illustrates an exemplary application scenario for creating a team. Specifically, Figure 2 This is an illustration of upgrading a group to a team from the first group interface. Figure 2 The image shows the group interface of a group called Lunch Group. In the group interface, the first control 201, marked with the word "upgraded to team", can be displayed.

[0061] Therefore, by triggering the first control in the first group's interface, users can quickly designate the first group as the target group to create a team. This improves the speed of team creation. Furthermore, displaying the first control in the group interface informs users that a group can serve as the basis for a team, making it easier for them to quickly create teams using this feature.

[0062] In some embodiments, determining at least one target group in response to a preset team creation operation includes: displaying a settings interface in response to an operation on a second control; displaying at least one group identifier in the settings interface based on the currently logged-in user's permissions regarding groups; and determining the at least one target group based on the user's group identifier selection operation.

[0063] Here, the second control is used to instruct the creation of a team based on an existing group.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This illustrates another exemplary application scenario for creating a team. Figure 3 The diagram shows a second control 302 and a settings interface 303. The settings interface can display a name control 3021 and a target group determination control 3022. The name control 3021 can be used to set the team name. The target group determination control 3022 can display the words "Please select a group" to guide the user to select a target group. The target group determination control 302 can display at least one group identifier, for example, a group identifier named "Lunch Group" and a group identifier named "Dinner Group". Optionally, each group identifier can also display a corresponding selection control, for example... Figure 3 The group icon named "Lunch Group" can be displayed as a selection control. The checkmark in this selection control indicates that this group has been selected as the target group.

[0065] Therefore, the second control can guide users to create teams based on existing ones. Displaying the group icons of existing groups for users to choose from saves users time searching for groups or adding people one by one, thus improving the speed of team creation. Furthermore, it allows users to select groups to form teams according to their actual needs, ensuring that the created teams meet those needs.

[0066] In some embodiments, displaying at least one group identifier in the settings interface based on the current logged-in user's permissions regarding groups includes: selecting groups from the groups including the current logged-in user that the current logged-in user has predefined permissions as first candidate groups; and determining and displaying the at least one group identifier based on the first candidate groups.

[0067] Here, the group indicated by at least one group identifier belongs to the preset group type.

[0068] In some embodiments, selecting a group from the groups including the currently logged-in user that the currently logged-in user has predefined permissions may include: selecting a group where the currently logged-in user is the group owner or group administrator; or, selecting a group where the currently logged-in user is the group owner or group administrator, and selecting a group where the currently logged-in user is not the group owner or group administrator but has obtained the consent of the group owner or group administrator.

[0069] In some application scenarios, the groups that the currently logged-in user has predefined permissions can include groups where the currently logged-in user is the group owner or group administrator.

[0070] In some application scenarios, the groups that the currently logged-in user has predefined permissions for can include groups that, although the currently logged-in user is not the group owner or group administrator, have obtained the consent of the group owner or group administrator.

[0071] As an example, the group owner or group administrator can pre-set whether the group can be used as the basis for creating teams by members who are not the group owner or group administrator; if the group owner or group administrator pre-sets it as yes, then the group can be used as a group with predefined permissions for the current user without the need for the currently logged-in user to apply.

[0072] As an example, an initial identifier can be displayed to the currently logged-in user. If the currently logged-in user selects a group that is not the group owner or group administrator, a corresponding creation request control can be displayed for that group. The currently logged-in user can trigger this creation request control to request the group owner or group administrator to create a team based on that group. The group owner or group administrator can receive the creation request and provide feedback of approval or disapproval.

[0073] It should be noted that selecting a group with user owner or group administrator privileges as the basis for creating a team ensures that it does not interfere with the group and avoids abuse of team creation privileges by the currently logged-in user, which could affect the use of the group.

[0074] It's important to note that selecting groups where the user is not the group owner or administrator but has obtained their consent as the basis for team creation ensures that the creation of teams doesn't interfere with existing groups, even if the user doesn't currently have administrative privileges. Expanding the base for team creation allows users to easily use various groups (with or without administrative privileges) as the foundation for team creation. Compared to situations where a currently logged-in user without administrative privileges needs to first gain administrative privileges before creating a team, this saves users time and improves team creation efficiency.

[0075] In some embodiments, the preset group type does not include at least one of the following: a group including external contacts, an external group, a public group, or a private chat group.

[0076] Here, external contacts can be from organizations that are not part of the currently logged-in user.

[0077] Here, external groups can belong to organizations that are not the same as the currently logged-in user.

[0078] Here, organizational structure refers to an account system within an information exchange tool. It can also be called an organizational tree, which visually represents the tree-like relationship between user accounts belonging to the same organization. Users in an information exchange tool can belong to one or more organizational structures.

[0079] Here, a public group is a group that can be opened to users of an instant messaging application.

[0080] Here, a private chat group can be a group that is not shown to users outside the private chat group members.

[0081] Therefore, when displaying at least one group identifier to a user, it ensures that the group indicated by the displayed group identifier is suitable for upgrading to a team, avoiding the leakage of team information due to unsuitable groups being upgraded to teams. Furthermore, compared to users manually selecting suitable groups for upgrade, the above-mentioned automated group selection process ensures the accuracy of the results and saves users steps and time.

[0082] In some embodiments, determining the team member set based on the members included in the at least one target group includes: determining the team member set based on the union of the members of the at least one target group.

[0083] Here, you can first determine the union of members of at least one target group (including removing duplicate members), and then filter out the team member set based on user selection or preset rules.

[0084] In some embodiments, the method further includes: displaying management controls for the target group on the team management interface corresponding to the team, wherein the management controls are used to manage the target group.

[0085] In some application scenarios, managing a target group can be understood as managing and configuring the target group. These management settings can include at least one of the following, but are not limited to: group identifier management settings, group member management settings, robot assistant management settings, message notification management settings, group display management settings, and group disbanding management settings.

[0086] Optionally, the team management interface can display management controls for some or all of the management settings for the target group.

[0087] It should be noted that managing the first group from an interface outside the target group is more convenient than having to access the target group's interface to manage it.

[0088] It's worth noting that managing target groups through the team's management interface helps ensure that the settings for those groups are tailored to the team's needs. For example, managing member changes within a target group by the team itself helps ensure that the group members are a good fit for the team, preventing chaos caused by unsuitable members joining the target group.

[0089] In some embodiments, the information interaction tool includes groups.

[0090] In some embodiments, the method further includes: creating a group with at least some of the team members as group members.

[0091] Here, after creating a team, you can also create groups based on that team. These groups, created based on a team, can be called team groups. Team groups can be of various types. Creating different types of groups within a team can meet the diverse communication needs of that team.

[0092] The groups established here include at least one of the following, but are not limited to: second type groups, third type groups, and fourth type groups.

[0093] Here, the set of group members in the second type of group is consistent with the set of team members in the team. The group members of the second type of group are consistent with the team member set, and this type of group is open to team members.

[0094] Therefore, team members can exchange information with lower confidentiality requirements within the second type of group. Furthermore, different second-type groups may have different topics; in other words, the same members in different groups can discuss different things according to different topics, preventing information from being lost due to the interweaving of different topics. Therefore, the establishment of second-type groups facilitates the orderly presentation and processing of information, improving the orderliness and efficiency of information exchange within the team.

[0095] Here, the set of members of a third-type group is a proper subset of the set of team members of the team. Information about the third-type group is displayed in the interaction interface of team members who are not members of this third-type group. Members of the third-type group can be some members of the team member set. Team members who are not members of the third-type group can see the existence of the group, but cannot access its information until they join.

[0096] Therefore, the third type of group can be applied to information exchange scenarios with moderate confidentiality requirements, balancing confidentiality and openness.

[0097] Here, the set of members of a fourth-type group is a proper subset of the set of team members of the team. Information about the fourth-type group is not displayed in the user interface of team members who do not belong to it. Members of the fourth-type group can be some members of the team member set. Team members who are not members of the fourth-type group are unaware of the group's existence.

[0098] Therefore, the fourth type of group can meet the needs of information exchange scenarios with high confidentiality requirements, ensuring that information with high confidentiality requirements within the team can be exchanged within the group without being leaked, thereby improving the team's information security.

[0099] In some embodiments, the method further includes: displaying a team creation success notification in response to the successful creation of the team; and displaying the team display interface corresponding to the team in response to a triggering operation on the link to the team display page.

[0100] Here, the team creation success notification includes a link to the team showcase page.

[0101] Here, upon successful team creation, a team creation success notification is displayed, promptly informing users of the team's creation status. A link to the team showcase page is shown in the team member notification. Users can trigger this link to quickly display the team showcase page, allowing for convenient and timely information interaction and improving team communication efficiency.

[0102] Further reference Figure 4 As an implementation of the methods shown in the above figures, this disclosure provides an embodiment of an information interaction device, which is similar to...
