[0017] Embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While some embodiments of this disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of this disclosure. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings and embodiments of this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0018] It should be understood that the steps described in the method embodiments of this disclosure may be performed in different orders and / or in parallel. Furthermore, the method embodiments may include additional steps and / or omit the steps shown. The scope of this disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0019] The term "comprising" and its variations as used herein are open-ended inclusions, meaning "including but not limited to". The term "based on" means "at least partially based on". The term "one embodiment" means "at least one embodiment"; the term "another embodiment" means "at least one additional embodiment"; the term "some embodiments" means "at least some embodiments". Definitions of other terms will be given in the description below.

[0020] It should be noted that the concepts of "first" and "second" mentioned in this disclosure are used only to distinguish different devices, modules or units, and are not used to limit the order of functions performed by these devices, modules or units or their interdependencies.

[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 the flow of one embodiment of the information interaction method according to this disclosure. Figure 1 The information interaction method shown includes the following steps:

[0024] Step 101: Display the team information of the target team in the client interface of the currently logged-in user; the displayed team information includes: information of at least one group associated with the target team, and the information of the at least one group includes information of a first group; the currently logged-in user is not a member of the first group, but a member of the target team.

[0025] The entity executing the information exchange method can be a client. Here, the client can be a client of an instant messaging application.

[0026] The aforementioned target team is associated with at least one first group. For any first group, team members who are not members of the first group have first access rights to the first group, and group members of the first group have second access rights to the first group, with the first access rights being lower than the second access rights.

[0027] In some application scenarios, the second set of permissions can include message browsing permissions and message interaction permissions, which are the permissions that normal group members should have. The first set of permissions can include message browsing permissions, but not interaction permissions. Interaction permissions include: sending messages, forwarding messages, replying with emoticons, creating tasks based on messages, saving messages, and configuring group settings, etc.

[0028] In other application scenarios, the second permission may include information browsing permission and information interaction operation permission, while the aforementioned first permission may be a partial information browsing permission.

[0029] Alternatively, in some scenarios, the second permission may include information browsing permission and information interaction permission. The first permission mentioned above includes information browsing permission and some information interaction permission, such as the ability to reply with emoticons.

[0030] In this disclosure, "team" is a concept in the field of instant messaging. A team can be associated with at least one group, and a team has a set of team members. In some embodiments, team members in the team member set can be group members of the group associated with the team, and at least some team members may not be group members of the group associated with the team. In some embodiments, all group members of the group associated with the team are team members of the team. In other embodiments, some group members of the group associated with the team may also be non-team members.

[0031] Teams are created within an organization (usually a tenant) where members of that organization serve as instant communication entities for team members. Multiple teams can be created within a single tenant as needed. Existing regular groups can be added to teams, creating team groups. Conversely, a group associated with a team can be removed from the team group, reverting it to a regular group. In short, the association between teams and groups is editable.

[0032] The first group here includes multiple group members. The members of the first group can include team members of the target team, or members who are not members of the target team.

[0033] The information displayed in the client interface above regarding at least one group associated with the target team may include the group identifier information corresponding to each of the at least one group. The group identifier information of the at least one group may be displayed in a preset position below the target team's team identifier information.

[0034] Group identification information may include the group's name, a graphic or image identifier for the group, etc.

[0035] Step 102: Based on the instruction received from the currently logged-in user to browse the target first group, and based on the current logged-in user's first access permission, display the message stream of the target first group in the client interface of the current logged-in user.

[0036] The aforementioned target first group can be any one of the at least one first group associated with the target team. The aforementioned first access permission can be browsing permission. The currently logged-in user can issue an instruction to browse messages in the target first group based on their first access permission. For illustrative purposes, the logged-in user can issue an instruction to browse messages in the target first group by clicking or touching the icon of the target first group.

[0037] Upon receiving the aforementioned instruction, the executing entity can obtain the message stream of the target first group from the local machine or the server and display the message stream of the target first group in the client interface of the currently logged-in user.

[0038] In other words, thanks to being a member of the target team, a currently logged-in user who is not a member of the first group can view the group information of the first group in their client interface. They can also further browse the message stream of the first group. In this disclosure, the first group is referred to as the Team Public Group.

[0039] The information interaction method provided in this embodiment displays the team information of a target team on the client interface of the currently logged-in user. The displayed team information includes information about at least one group associated with the target team, and the information of the at least one group includes information about a first group. The currently logged-in user is not a member of the first group, but a member of the target team. The target team is associated with at least one first group. Team members who are not members of the first group have first access permissions to the first group, and members of the first group have second access permissions to the first group, with the first access permission being lower than the second access permission. Upon receiving an instruction from the currently logged-in user to browse the target first group, the message stream of that target first group is displayed on the client interface of the currently logged-in user. This allows team members to browse messages in the first group associated with the team without joining the group, which is beneficial for information sharing within the team. Furthermore, if simply viewing messages is sufficient, team members can browse without joining the group, avoiding disturbance from group messages.

[0040] In some other embodiments, step 102 above, displaying the message stream of the target first group in the client interface of the currently logged-in user, includes: displaying the latest message information of the target first group by default in the client interface.

[0041] In these embodiments, if a logged-in user issues an instruction to browse messages of the target first group, the latest messages of the target first group can be displayed in the client interface by default.

[0042] The "latest news" section can contain various types of messages, such as text messages, graphics, images, and videos. "Latest" can refer to a single message or multiple messages.

[0043] By displaying the latest news from the target first group to logged-in users by default, logged-in users can stay informed about the latest news from the target first group.

[0044] In some application scenarios, the information of the latest messages of the target first group that is displayed by default in the client interface includes: if the latest message meets the preset conditions, displaying the abbreviated information of the latest message.

[0045] The preset conditions here can be set according to the message type.

[0046] For text, image, and video messages, the above preset condition can be that the message size exceeds a preset message threshold. This preset message threshold can be set according to the specific application scenario and is not limited here.

[0047] For text messages, the aforementioned thumbnail information may be a portion of the text message. For image messages, the aforementioned thumbnail information may be a thumbnail image message generated from a larger image message; for video messages, the aforementioned thumbnail information may be the thumbnail information of the target frame image in the video message.

[0048] For voice messages, the above-mentioned preset condition allows the message to be a voice message. That is, if the message is a voice message, its abbreviated information will be displayed. The abbreviated information of the voice message can be displayed as text or graphic identifiers to indicate that the message is a voice message.

[0049] For example, the information in the latest news can be a portion of a longer text message. If the latest news is an image, the information in the latest news can be a thumbnail generated from the image.

[0050] In these application scenarios, displaying abbreviated information of the latest messages to team members who are not group members can reduce the resources consumed by the server when sending group messages.

[0051] In some application scenarios, the above information interaction method does not support logged-in users browsing the original message content of the latest message through the above thumbnail information, in order to reduce the resources occupied by the server in sending the original message content to non-target first group.

[0052] In some optional implementations, the above information interaction method further includes: displaying information about the historical messages indicated by the viewing operation based on the received viewing operation of the logged-in user to view more information in the target first group.

[0053] The aforementioned historical messages can include various types of messages, such as text, images, videos, cards, etc.

[0054] In these optional implementations, historical message information is displayed based on the logged-in user's viewing actions, allowing the logged-in user to browse historical messages of the target first group that is not their group member. This shares information about the target first group with team members of the teams associated with the target first group. This enables team members who are not members of the target first group to view more group messages of that target first group without needing to be members of that group themselves.

[0055] In some application scenarios, the information of the historical messages includes the message content of historical messages that do not meet the preset conditions and the abbreviated information of historical messages that meet the preset conditions.

[0056] The preset conditions here can be set according to the message type.

[0057] For text, image, and video messages, the above preset condition can be that the message size exceeds a preset message threshold. This preset message threshold can be set according to the specific application scenario and is not limited here.

[0058] Among these optional implementations, displaying the message content of historical messages that do not meet preset conditions allows logged-in users to learn more about messages from the target first group. Displaying thumbnailed information of historical messages that do meet preset conditions reduces the resources consumed by the server sending large historical messages to the logged-in user's client.

[0059] In some alternative implementations, the target team is associated with at least one second group, the information in which cannot be viewed by team members outside the second group. This second group can be referred to as a private team group.

[0060] The above information interaction method further includes: according to the team group type conversion instruction issued by a group member with preset permissions in the target second group, performing an operation to convert the group type of the target second group to the group type of the first group;

[0061] Alternatively, based on the team group type conversion instruction sent by a team member with preset permissions in the target team, the operation of converting the group type of the target second group to the group type of the first group can be performed.

[0062] This allows a private team group to be converted into a public team group.

[0063] In these implementations, information in the second group within the target team cannot be viewed by team members outside of the second group. In other words, when displaying information about the target team, team members who are not members of the second group cannot view the information in the second group. The information in the second group includes the group's identifier and the information contained within the second group.

[0064] The set of group members in the second group can include group members who are team members of the target team.

[0065] The aforementioned target second group can be any one of the at least one second group.

[0066] Members with preset permissions in the target second group can issue a team group type conversion command. This command converts the group type of the second group to the group type of the first group. For example, in the displayed second group type settings window, a member with preset permissions can set the type of the second group to the group type corresponding to the first group.

[0067] The group type for Group 1 indicates that team members who are not members of Group 1 have primary access rights to Group 1. This primary access right could be, for example, browsing access to information. The group type for Group 2 indicates that team members who are not members of Group 2 do not have access rights to the group information in Group 2. This lack of access rights includes the inability to see the information in Group 2.

[0068] The group members with preset permissions in the aforementioned target second group can be the group owner and / or group administrators. These group members with preset permissions can manage messages or group members within the target second group.

[0069] The team members with preset permissions in the aforementioned target team can be the team owner and / or team administrator. Typically, the team owner is the team creator, and the team creator can also transfer the team owner status to other team members.

[0070] In these optional implementations, the group type of the second group can be converted to the group type of the first group based on the group type conversion operation of group members with preset permissions. This allows group messages that were originally invisible to non-group members to be viewed by them, facilitating the sharing of messages from the original second group with team members, improving message reach, and enhancing collaborative work efficiency.

[0071] In some optional implementations, the target team described above is associated with at least one second group, the information of which cannot be viewed by team members other than those in the second group; and the method further includes: in response to a group type conversion instruction issued by a first group member of the target second group, displaying a first prompt message indicating that the first group member does not have permission to operate, wherein the first group member is a group member who currently does not have the preset permission. The first group member may be a member who previously had preset permissions for the target second group but does not currently have the preset permissions.

[0072] In these optional implementations, if a member of the first group issues a group type conversion command for the target second group through a preset entry point, since the member of the first group no longer has the preset permissions, they no longer have the permission to convert the group type of the target second group. The aforementioned first prompt message can then be displayed to them.

[0073] Restricting group type conversion permissions for the second group to members with predefined permissions facilitates the management of the second group and prevents group members from arbitrarily publishing messages from the second group, thus avoiding group message leaks.

[0074] In some optional embodiments, the operation of converting the group type of the target second group to the group type of the first group includes: based on the first operation of the group member with preset permissions publicly setting an entry through a preset message, granting a first access permission to team members outside the group members of the target second group, wherein the first access permission is used to access the group information of the target second group; wherein the first operation is used to instruct the granting of the first access permission to team members outside the group members of the target second group.

[0075] In practice, the client interface of the aforementioned group members with preset permissions can display a preset message public settings entry. This preset message public settings entry can receive the first operation mentioned above, namely the group message public command. The group message public command can then grant first access permissions to team members outside the target second group.

[0076] In some alternative implementations, after setting the messages of the target second group to be visible to team members other than the group members of the target second group, the method further includes: setting the preset message public setting entry to be inoperable; or in response to receiving a cancellation operation from a group member with preset permissions, displaying a second prompt message, the second prompt message being used to indicate that the first access permission of team members other than the group members of the target second group cannot be cancelled.

[0077] In these optional implementations, if team members outside the target second group have the first access permission, the aforementioned group members with preset permissions cannot revoke the first access permission granted to the team members outside the target second group. This facilitates consistency in the management of the second group.

[0078] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the above information interaction method further includes the following steps: according to the received association instruction from the logged-in user to associate the existing group to which the logged-in user belongs with the team, the existing group is associated with the team, and the existing group is defaulted to the second group; wherein the group type of the existing group that is defaulted to the second group can be changed according to the settings of the group members with preset permissions of the existing group.

[0079] In these optional implementations, the existing groups here do not need to be associated with other teams beforehand. The logged-in users here can be ordinary group members in the existing groups mentioned above, or group members with preset permissions. That is to say, any group member in the existing group (who is a team member of the target team) can associate their group with the target team.

[0080] After a member of the aforementioned group associates their existing group with the target team, that existing group is designated as the second group by default. This means that team members outside the existing group have no access to information within that existing group.

[0081] Members of an existing group with preset permissions can set the group type, that is, change the group type of the existing group from the group type of the second group to the group type of the first group. In other words, based on the actions of group members with preset permissions, the existing group can grant first access permissions to team members outside the group members.

[0082] In some optional implementations of this example, the above information interaction method further includes the following step: in response to receiving the login user's entry instruction to the target first group, setting the login user as a group member of the target first group.

[0083] In these optional implementations, since the logged-in user is not a member of the target first group, the logged-in user can view the information of the target first group in the information of the groups associated with the team. Furthermore, the logged-in user can access the target first group based on first access permissions through further operations. The displayed information of the target first group may include an entry point for indicating entry into the target first group. Through this entry point, one can become a member of the target first group. The logged-in user can perform corresponding operations on the entry point to issue an entry command to the target first group. Entering the target first group here means becoming a member of the target first group. The logged-in user can be set as a member of the target first group according to the entry command.

[0084] Among these optional implementations, a group entry scheme is provided to allow users with first-level access to the target first group, thus enabling logged-in users to become group members of the target first group.

[0085] In some optional implementations, after setting the logged-in user as a group member of the target first group, the information interaction method further includes: displaying the message content of all historical messages of the target first group to the logged-in user.

[0086] In these optional implementations, once a logged-in user becomes a member of the target first group, they have permission to view all historical messages of that target first group.

[0087] For historical messages that were originally displayed as thumbnails to the logged-in users, the logged-in users can perform corresponding operations on the thumbnails to display the original information corresponding to the thumbnails.

[0088] The original information here includes, but is not limited to, text information, image information, video information, audio information and / or card information.

[0089] In these optional implementations, by joining the target first group and becoming a member of the target first group, one can browse more detailed message content of the target first group.

[0090] In some optional embodiments, after setting the logged-in user as a group member of the target first group, the method further includes: receiving an interaction instruction executed by the logged-in user on the message stream interface of the target first group; and executing a corresponding interaction operation according to the interaction instruction.

[0091] After becoming a member of the target group, logged-in users can also execute interactive commands within the group's message flow interface. These commands include message input, message forwarding, task creation, and online document editing. Message input commands include text, voice, graphic or image messages, and red envelope messages.

[0092] Task creation includes creating tasks in the calendar assistant, etc.

[0093] Logged-in users' clients can perform corresponding operations based on the above interaction commands. For example, based on the message input command, the client can send the message entered in the message input command to the server, and the server will then send the message to the group members of the target first group. Based on the task creation command, the client can create corresponding tasks, etc.

[0094] Among these optional implementations, by becoming a member of the first group, one can interact with information in the message flow interface of the first group.

[0095] Please refer to Figures 2A to 2F This diagram illustrates an application scenario of the information interaction method proposed in this disclosure. The client interface for logged-in user S is shown below. Figure 2A As shown, logged-in user S is a team member of team A. Team A is associated with first groups A1 and A2, and second groups B1 and B2. Here, first group and second group represent group types. Logged-in user S is not a member of first group A1 or A2, nor is he / she a member of second group B1 or B2. First access permissions for first group A1 and A2 have been granted to team members other than those currently in first group A1 and A2. When team information for team A is displayed on logged-in user S's client interface, information for first group A1 and A2 can also be displayed. For example, the identification information for first group A1 and A2 can be displayed. Logged-in user S can select first group A1 as the target first group by clicking or touching it. Since logged-in user S is not a member of second group B1 and B2, and therefore does not have permission to access the information in second group B1 and B2, information for second group B1 and B2 cannot be displayed when team information for team A is displayed on logged-in user S's client interface.

[0096] After logged-in user S performs a trigger operation on target group A1, the message stream of target group A1 can be displayed. By default, the most important message stream A11 of target group A1 is displayed, such as... Figure 2B As shown. The displayed message stream matches the first access permission of logged-in user S.

[0097] Please refer to Figure 2C The message interface displaying the target group A1 can include an entry point for indicating whether one can become a member of the group, such as... Figure 2C The "Join Group" icon indicates the entry point to join the group. Logged-in user S can perform corresponding actions at the entry point to enter the target first group A1. For example, they can enter the target first group by clicking or touching it. After entering the target first group A1, logged-in user S becomes a member of the target first group A1. Logged-in user S can browse all historical messages in the target first group and can also interact with information in the target first group's message interface.

[0098] Please refer to Figure 2A Login user S can also be a member of an existing group D, and a member of group D with preset permissions. Group D has not previously been associated with any teams. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2D In the client interface of logged-in user S, an association window D1 can be displayed to link teams and groups. Logged-in user S can set up an association between an existing group D and team A in association window D1. After logged-in user S has associated the existing group D with team A, a notification message can be sent to their group members to inform them that logged-in user S has successfully linked the existing group D with team A. By default, the existing group D is the second group of team A.

[0099] Please refer to Figure 2E After associating the existing group D with team A, when displaying team information in the client interface of logged-in user S, in addition to displaying the group information of the first group A1 and A2, the group information of the second group D can also be displayed.

[0100] Please refer to Figure 2F Logged-in user S can also execute group type conversion commands for the second group D included in the team information of team A. For example, displaying a preset message public settings entry to instruct team members outside the group members of the second group D to grant first access permissions. Figure 2F The option "Set this group's messages to be public to the team" is shown. Through this preset message public setting, group messages in the second group D can be granted first-level access permission to team members outside the group members.

[0101] Further reference Figure 3 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... Figure 1 Corresponding to the method embodiments shown, this device can be specifically applied to various electronic devices.

[0102] like Figure 3As shown, the information interaction device in this embodiment includes a first display unit 301 and a second display unit 302. The first display unit 301 is used to display team information of a target team on the client interface of the currently logged-in user. The displayed team information includes information about at least one group associated with the target team, and the information of the at least one group includes information about a first group. The currently logged-in user is not a member of the first group, but a member of the target team. The target team is associated with at least one first group, and team members who are not members of the first group have first access permissions to the first group, while members of the first group have second access permissions to the first group, with the first access permission being lower than the second access permission. The second display unit 302 is used to display the message stream of the target first group on the client interface of the currently logged-in user based on the first access permissions of the currently logged-in user, according to an instruction received from the currently logged-in user to browse the target first group.
