Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of instant messaging, and in particular, to a method and device for obtaining and synchronizing instant messaging messages. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the Internet, Internet instant messaging software has become an application that most people often use. At the same time, with the widespread application of mobile terminals, many users own multiple terminal devices. This means that users may use the same instant messaging App on different terminal devices at the same time, which will cause different messages to be scattered and stored on different devices, resulting in missing historical messages on one device. Generally speaking, the backend database server corresponding to the Internet instant messaging software will store all the messages sent by users. This means that as long as the messages are received by the backend database server, the messages in the database server are complete. Based on this, to improve the reading experience of users on different terminal devices, a synchronization mechanism can be used to synchronize the continuous messages in the backend database to the mobile device to prevent missing historical messages on one device.

[0003] In the existing technology of synchronizing continuous messages in the backend database to mobile devices, different schemes are adopted for obtaining historical messages, new messages, and offline messages in chat rooms, which makes the storage logic of message data relatively complex and difficult to maintain. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the embodiments of this application provide a method and device for obtaining and synchronizing instant messaging messages to eliminate or improve one or more defects existing in the prior art.

[0005] The first aspect of this application provides a method for obtaining and synchronizing instant messaging messages, the method includes:

[0006] Select a corresponding initial judgment condition according to the type of target conversation message requested by the user in the chat room interface of the instant messaging software;

[0007] If the initial judgment condition can be satisfied, then use the same data acquisition and synchronization method to retrieve the target conversation messages within a preset display period from the local database, and display the retrieved target conversation messages in the chat room interface; the local database includes a message table;

[0008] Wherein, the data acquisition and synchronization method includes: obtaining the conversation message content of the type of the target conversation message within multiple preset display periods from the server of the instant messaging software according to the type of the target conversation message and storing it in the message table.

[0009] In some embodiments of the present application, after displaying the re-fetched target conversation message in the chat room interface, it further includes:

[0010] If the user sends a new message or receives the new message, mark the new message with a batch number for sending and receiving and store the new message in the message table; wherein, if the batch number for sending and receiving does not exist, randomly generate the batch number for sending and receiving.

[0011] If it is detected that the user exits the application or the long connection where the user is located is disconnected, reset the batch number for sending and receiving.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, if the type of the target conversation message is: historical conversation type; correspondingly, the initial judgment conditions selected according to the type of the target conversation message requested by the user in the chat room interface of the instant messaging software include:

[0020] Obtain the current batch number of the message with the earliest sending time from the message table and the target batch number of the target historical conversation message with the earliest sending time in the target historical conversation message set.

[0021] Determine whether the current batch number is the same as the target batch number. If they are the same, the target historical conversation message set is continuous with the conversation message content currently displayed in the chat room interface.

[0024] Obtain the first batch number of the successfully sent message from the message table, mark each of the third historical conversation messages with the first batch number, and store each of the third historical conversation messages in the message table.

[0025] If not, obtain multiple fourth historical conversation messages from the server in ascending order according to the message sending time, mark each of the fourth historical conversation messages with a second batch number, and store each of the fourth historical conversation messages in the message table.

[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, when the type of the target conversation message is the offline conversation type or the new conversation type, obtaining the conversation message content of the type of the target conversation message in multiple preset display periods from the server of the instant messaging software according to the type of the target conversation message and storing it in the message table includes:

[0027] When sequentially and positively obtaining multiple offline conversation messages or multiple new conversation messages from the server according to the message sending time, each of the offline conversation messages or each of the new conversation messages is marked with a third batch number and stored in the message table.

[0050] In the following, embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals represent the same or similar components, or the same or similar steps.

[0051] Specifically, it will be described in detail through the following embodiments.

[0052] The embodiments of the present application provide an instant messaging message acquisition and synchronization method that can be executed by an instant messaging message acquisition and synchronization device or a mobile client. Refer to Figure 1 , the instant messaging message acquisition and synchronization method specifically includes the following content:

[0053] Step 110: Select a corresponding initial judgment condition according to the type of the target conversation message requested by the user in the chat room interface of the instant messaging software.

[0054] Among them, when the type of the target conversation message is a historical conversation type, Step 110 includes:

[0055] Step 111: If it is detected that the user performs a pull-down operation in the chat room interface to obtain historical chat messages, search for the target historical conversation message set within the preset display period from the local database.

[0056] Step 112: Determine whether there is continuity between the target historical conversation message set and the message content currently displayed in the chat room interface. If not, the initial judgment condition is satisfied.

[0057] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 , when the mobile client detects that the user performs a pull-down operation in the chat room interface to obtain a target conversation message of the historical conversation type (i.e., the user pulls down to query historical messages in Figure 3 ), search for the target historical conversation message set within the preset display period from the local database (i.e., locally obtain the next screen of data in Figure 3 ); determine whether there is continuity between the target historical conversation message set and the message content currently displayed in the chat room interface (i.e., determine the continuity of the next screen of data in Figure 3 ). If not, the initial judgment condition is satisfied.

[0058] When the type of the target conversation message is a non-historical conversation type, Step 110 includes:

[0059] Step 113: Determine whether the chat room has requested the content of the conversation message of the non-historical conversation type after the user enters the chat room corresponding to the chat room interface. If not, the initial judgment condition is satisfied.

[0060] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 , after the user enters the chat room corresponding to the chat room interface (i.e., the user enters the chat room in Figure 3 ), the mobile client determines whether the chat room has requested the content of the conversation message of the non-historical conversation type (i.e., whether it has requested the latest message in Figure 3 ). If not, the initial judgment condition is satisfied.

[0061] Among them, the non-historical conversation type includes: the offline conversation type and the new conversation type.

[0062] Step 120: If the initial judgment condition can be satisfied, retrieve the target conversation messages within a preset display period from the local database using the same data acquisition and synchronization method, and display the retrieved target conversation messages in the chat room interface; the local database includes a message table; wherein, the data acquisition and synchronization method includes the following Step 130;

[0063] Step 130: Obtain the conversation message content of the type of the target conversation message within multiple preset display periods from the server of the instant messaging software according to the type of the target conversation message and store it in the message table.

[0064] Specifically, the mobile client first selects a corresponding initial judgment condition according to the type of the target conversation message requested by the user in the chat room interface of the instant messaging software; if the initial judgment condition can be satisfied, retrieve the target conversation messages within a preset display period from the local database using the same data acquisition and synchronization method, and display the retrieved target conversation messages in the chat room interface, so as to effectively simplify the storage logic of message data and improve the efficiency of message maintenance.

[0065] Among them, the data acquisition and synchronization method includes: obtaining the conversation message content of the type of the target conversation message within multiple preset display periods from the server of the instant messaging software according to the type of the target conversation message and storing it in the local database, and the preset display period can take 20 chat messages.

[0066] To ensure the integrity of historical message data retrieved from the local database, Step 111 includes:

[0067] Detect whether there is a sent message in the chat room interface. If so, obtain the earliest sending time of the message with the earliest sending time in the message table, and obtain multiple first historical conversation messages whose message sending time is less than or equal to the earliest sending time from the message table in ascending order based on the message sending time; wherein, the first historical conversation message includes the message with the earliest sending time; if not, obtain multiple second historical conversation messages from the message table in ascending order according to the message sending time; wherein, the target historical conversation message set includes each of the first historical conversation messages or each of the second historical conversation messages.

[0068] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 , the mobile client first detects whether there is a sent message in the chat room interface. If so, obtain the earliest sending time of the message with the earliest sending time in the message table (that is Figure 4(Obtain the sending time of the latest message displayed in the chat room), record the time x as the earliest sending time, and obtain multiple first historical conversation messages whose message sending times are less than or equal to the earliest sending time in ascending order from the message table based on the message sending time (such as Figure 4 in the query message table: Obtain in ascending order of the message sending time, one screen of data (such as 20 pieces) whose message sending time is less than or equal to time X); if not, record the time x as infinity, and obtain multiple second historical conversation messages in ascending order from the message table according to the message sending time (such as Figure 4 in the query message table: Obtain in ascending order of the message sending time, one screen of data (such as 20 pieces) whose message sending time is less than or equal to time X)), so as to ensure the integrity of obtaining historical message data from the local database.

[0069] Among them, the first historical conversation message includes the message with the earliest sending time, and the target historical conversation message set includes each first historical conversation message or each second historical conversation message.

[0070] In order to effectively determine whether the target historical conversation message set is continuous with the conversation message content currently displayed in the chat room interface, step 112 includes:

[0071] Obtain the current batch number of the message with the earliest sending time from the message table and the target batch number of the target historical conversation message with the earliest sending time in the target historical conversation message set;

[0072] Judge whether the current batch number is the same as the target batch number. If they are the same, the target historical conversation message set is continuous with the conversation message content currently displayed in the chat room interface; if not, the target historical conversation message set is not continuous with the conversation message content currently displayed in the chat room interface.

[0073] Specifically, referring to Figure 5 , the mobile client obtains the current batch number of the message with the earliest sending time from the message table (that is, Figure 5 the batch number of obtaining the last message in Figure 5 and the target batch number of the target historical conversation message with the earliest sending time in the target historical conversation message set (that is,

[0074] the batch number of obtaining the first message in Figure 5whether the batch numbers of the two messages in are the same. If they are the same, the target historical conversation message set is continuous with the conversation message content currently displayed in the chat room interface; if they are different, the target historical conversation message set is not continuous with the conversation message content currently displayed in the chat room interface, so as to effectively determine whether the target historical conversation message set is continuous with the conversation message content currently displayed in the chat room interface.

[0075] To effectively make the target message acquisition logics of different types the same and synchronize different types of target messages to the local database, when the type of the target conversation message is the historical conversation message type, step 130 includes:

[0076] Detect whether there is a message with a successful send in the current chat room interface. If there is, obtain the send time of the earliest sent message among them, and obtain multiple third historical conversation messages from the server whose message send time is less than this send time;

[0077] Obtain the first batch number of the successfully sent message from the message table, mark each of the third historical conversation messages with the first batch number, and store each of the third historical conversation messages in the message table;

[0078] If not, obtain multiple fourth historical conversation messages from the server in ascending order according to the message send time, mark each of the fourth historical conversation messages with a second batch number, and store each of the fourth historical conversation messages in the message table.

[0079] Specifically, see Figure 6 , the mobile client first detects whether there is a message with a successful send in the current chat room interface. If there is, obtain the send time of the earliest sent message among them (i.e., Figure 6 the latest successfully sent message displayed in the chat room obtained in , whether there is the latest message, and record the send time of the latest message as x), and obtain multiple third historical conversation messages from the server whose message send time is less than this send time (i.e., Figure 6 implemented in to query the message set of this user in this chat room whose message send time is less than time x in ascending order of message send time); obtain the first batch number of the successfully sent message from the message table (i.e., Figure 6 record the batch number of the latest message as batch number Y in ), mark each of the third historical conversation messages with the first batch number, and store each of the third historical conversation messages in the message table (i.e., Figure 6 implemented in to change the batch numbers of the query message set to Y and store the query messages in the database); if not, obtain multiple fourth historical conversation messages from the server in ascending order according to the message send time (i.e., Figure 6Whether there is a latest message implemented in sequence, record the time x as infinity, record the batch number Y = the batch number of the message to be sent and received, and in ascending order of the message sending time, query the set of messages of the user in the chat room whose message sending time is less than time x), mark each fourth historical conversation message with the second batch number and store each fourth historical conversation message in the message table (i.e., Figure 6 in sequence, change the batch numbers of the query message set to Y and store the query messages in the database), so as to effectively make the acquisition logics of different types of target messages the same and synchronize different types of target messages to the local database.

[0080] To effectively make the acquisition logics of different types of target messages the same and synchronize different types of target messages to the local database, when the type of the target conversation message is an offline conversation type or a new conversation type, step 130 includes:

[0081] When obtaining multiple offline conversation messages or multiple new conversation messages from the server in ascending order according to the message sending time, mark each of the offline conversation messages or each of the new conversation messages with the third batch number and store each of the offline conversation messages or each of the new conversation messages in the message table.

[0082] Specifically, when the mobile client obtains multiple offline conversation messages or multiple new conversation messages from the server in ascending order according to the message sending time, mark each offline conversation message or each new conversation message with the third batch number and store each offline conversation message or each new conversation message in the message table, so as to effectively make the acquisition logics of different types of target messages the same and synchronize different types of target messages to the local database.

[0083] Since the continuity of historical messages is managed by the background in the prior art and the mobile device does not have the determination condition and needs to consult the backend, each time the user sends a new message, it will cause the user to consult the backend about the continuity when re-entering the chat room, wasting backend resources. Therefore, a method for the mobile terminal to determine the continuity of new messages is proposed in the second aspect of the present application. The method includes:

[0084] Step 210: If the user sends a new message or receives the new message, mark the new message with the batch number to be sent and received and store the new message in the message table; wherein, if the batch number to be sent and received does not exist, randomly generate the batch number to be sent and received.

[0085] Step 220: If it is detected that the user exits the application or the long connection where the user is located is disconnected, reset the batch number to be sent and received.

[0086] Specifically, see Figure 7, if the user sends a new message or receives the new message, the mobile client marks the new message with a batch number for sending and receiving and stores the new message in the message table; see Figure 8 , if it is detected that the user exits the application or the long connection where the user is located is disconnected, the batch number for sending and receiving is reset, so that the continuity of new messages can be effectively maintained on the mobile side.

[0087] Among them, see Figure 7 , if the batch number for sending and receiving does not exist, the batch number for sending and receiving is randomly generated.

[0088] From a software level, the present application also provides an instant messaging message acquisition and synchronization device for executing all or part of the instant messaging message acquisition and synchronization method described above, see Figure 2 , the instant messaging message acquisition and synchronization device specifically includes the following content:

[0089] A judgment condition selection module 10, configured to select a corresponding initial judgment condition according to the type of the target conversation message requested by the user in the chat room interface of the instant messaging software.

[0091] A server message acquisition module 30, configured to acquire the conversation message content of the type of the target conversation message within a plurality of the preset display periods from the server of the instant messaging software according to the type of the target conversation message and store it in the message table.
