[0022] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Figure 1 An exemplary system architecture that can be applied to the chat group management method or chat group management device of the present application is shown.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the system architecture may include: a terminal device 101, a terminal device 103 and a server 102. The terminal device 101, the terminal device 103 and the server 102 may communicate with each other through a network, and the network is used as a medium for providing a communication link between the above-mentioned units. The network may include various types of wired communication links or wireless communication links, for example: a wired communication link includes an optical fiber, a twisted pair or a coaxial cable, etc., and a wireless communication link includes a Bluetooth communication link, a wireless fidelity (WIreless-FIdelity, Wi-Fi) communication link or a microwave communication link, etc.

[0025] Among them, terminal device 101 and terminal device 103 correspond to members in the chat group. The members send and receive messages in the chat group through the terminal devices. Server 103 transfers the messages of the members in the chat group and manages the chat group.

[0026] It should be noted that the terminal device and the server 102 can be hardware or software. When the terminal device 101 and the server 102 are hardware, they can be implemented as a distributed server cluster consisting of multiple servers, or as a single server. When the terminal device and the server 102 are software, they can be implemented as multiple software or software modules (for example, to provide distributed services), or as a single software or software module, which is not specifically limited here.

[0027] Various communication client applications can be installed on the terminal device of the present application, such as: video recording applications, video playback applications, voice interaction applications, search applications, instant messaging tools, email clients, social platform software, etc.

[0028] The terminal device can be hardware or software. When the terminal device is hardware, it can be various terminal devices with a display screen, including but not limited to smart phones, tablet computers, laptops, and desktop computers. When the terminal device is software, it can be installed in the terminal devices listed above. It can be implemented as multiple software or software modules (for example: used to provide distributed services), or it can be implemented as a single software or software module, which is not specifically limited here.

[0029] When the terminal device is hardware, a display device and a camera may be installed thereon. The display device may be any device capable of realizing a display function, and the camera is used to collect video streams; for example, the display device may be a cathode ray tube display (CR), a light-emitting diode display (LED), an electronic ink screen, a liquid crystal display (LCD), a plasma display panel (PDP), etc. The user may use the display device on the terminal device to view displayed text, pictures, videos and other information.

[0030] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of terminal devices, networks and servers in the embodiment is only for illustration. Any number of terminal devices, networks and servers may be used as required.

[0031] The following will be combined with the attached Figure 2 , the chat group management method provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail. Among them, the chat group management device in the embodiment of the present application can be Figure 1 The server shown.

[0032] See also Figure 2 , which is a flow chart of a chat group management method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps:

[0033] S201. Determine the length of a repetition cycle, and a deactivation schedule and an activation schedule set in the repetition cycle according to group attribute information of a preset chat group.

[0034] Among them, the server first accesses a database or memory structure storing information related to the chat group. Read the group attribute information of a specific chat group, which usually includes the length of the repetition period, the deactivation schedule, and the activation schedule. Extract the length of the repetition period from the group attribute information, which is usually in days, weeks, or months. The server calculates the start and end time range of each complete cycle based on the length of the repetition period. Extract the deactivation schedule information, which includes at least one deactivation time interval. Each deactivation time interval consists of a start time and an end time, indicating that the chat group should be deactivated during the time period. The server stores these deactivation time intervals in the memory structure to quickly query whether the current time falls within a certain deactivation time interval. Extract the activation schedule information, which includes at least one activation time interval. Each activation time interval also consists of a start time and an end time, indicating that the chat group should be activated during the time period. The server also stores these activation time intervals in the memory structure to quickly query whether the current time falls within a certain activation time interval. The server associates the deactivation schedule and the activation schedule with the repetition period. At the beginning of each recurrence period, the server determines the status of the chat group (enabled or disabled) based on the current date and time, as well as the preset recurrence period, deactivation schedule, and activation schedule.

[0035] To improve query efficiency, the server may adopt some optimization strategies, such as pre-calculating the activation and deactivation status in the future and caching this status information. When the current time is close to the boundary of a time interval, the server will update the status information in the cache to ensure the accuracy of the status query.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, it also includes:

[0037] Displaying a group setting interface on the user's terminal device;

[0038] Receive a user's instruction to set a field value of a group attribute on a group setting interface;

[0039] Determine whether the user has the setting permission;

[0040] If yes, the length of the repetition period is determined according to the field value of the group attribute set by the user, and a time selection interface is popped up, the time selection interface including a plurality of candidate basic unit times corresponding to the repetition period;

[0041] selecting at least one basic unit time from among a plurality of basic unit times as an activation schedule based on a selection instruction of a user, and using the remaining basic unit times as a deactivation schedule; or

[0042] At least one basic unit time is selected as a deactivation schedule among a plurality of basic unit times based on a selection instruction of a user, and the remaining basic unit times are selected as an activation schedule.

[0043] Among them, the chat group setting interface is displayed on the user's terminal device (such as a mobile phone, computer, etc.). The interface contains various fields of group attributes, such as group name, description, repetition period length, enable / disable schedule, etc. The terminal device receives the setting instructions of the group attribute field values ​​entered by the user through the interface. These instructions may include modifying the group name, description, setting the repetition period length and enable / disable schedule, etc. The terminal device or server determines whether the user has the authority to modify the chat group attributes. If the user has the authority, continue to execute the subsequent steps; if the user does not have the authority, an error prompt is displayed and the setting process is terminated. The server extracts the length of the repetition period from the instructions set by the user, such as daily, weekly, monthly, etc.

[0044] The server pops up a time selection interface through the user's terminal device, which displays multiple candidate basic unit times corresponding to the repetition period (such as each hour of each day, each day of each week, etc.). The user selects at least one basic unit time as the activation schedule through the interface, and the remaining basic unit time is automatically used as the deactivation schedule. Alternatively, the user selects at least one basic unit time as the deactivation schedule, and the remaining basic unit time is automatically used as the activation schedule. The user's selection instruction is sent to the server through the terminal device. The server receives the user's selection instruction and updates the attribute information of the chat group according to the instruction. The updated group attribute information (including the length of the repetition period, activation / deactivation schedule, etc.) is stored in a database or memory structure.

[0045] Further, the start time and end time of the activation period are set on the time selection interface, as well as the content of the reminder information, the field value of the group attribute indicates weekly repetition, the length of the repetition period is one week, and the basic unit time of the multiple candidates is Monday to Sunday; or

[0046] The field value of the group attribute indicates monthly repetition, the length of the repetition period is one year, and the basic unit time of the multiple candidates is from January to December;

[0047] The field value of the group attribute indicates seasonal repetition, the length of the repetition period is one year, and the multiple candidate basic time units are spring, autumn, and winter;

[0048] The field value of the group attribute indicates that it is repeated yearly, the length of the repetition period is one year, and the basic time unit of multiple candidates is 1 year to 10 years;

[0049] The field value of the group attribute indicates repetition by date, the length of the repetition period is one month, and the basic time unit of the multiple candidates is 1 to 31 days.

[0050] The open period represents the selected basic time unit. The server extracts the type (weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly, or date-based) and length of the repetition period from the instruction set by the user.

[0051] Repeat by week: The length of the repeating cycle is one week, and the candidate basic unit time is Monday to Sunday.

[0052] Repeat by month: The length of the repeating cycle can be one year (but selected by month), and the candidate basic unit time is January to December.

[0053] Repeating by seasons: The length of the repeating cycle is one year. The candidate basic time units are spring (March-May), summer (June-August), autumn (September-November), and winter (December-February, or February-April of the following year according to meteorology, but this is simplified here).

[0054] Repeat by year: The length of the repetition cycle is one year, but the candidate basic time unit can be extended to 1 to 10 years (if the user wants to repeat every year, select 1 year; if they want to repeat every two years, select 2 years, and so on). However, it should be noted that the "length" here refers to the total time span covered by the repetition cycle, and the actual selection unit (i.e. whether to enable / disable it every year) is still based on one year.

[0055] Repeat by date: The length of the recurrence period is one month (but selected by date), and the candidate basic time unit is 1 to 31 days (the actual selectable date range needs to be adjusted according to the month).

[0056] The server can also repeat according to custom settings, and users can flexibly choose the repetition method based on their needs.

[0057] For example, see Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the group setting interface shown in FIG. 1 includes the following fields: group name, group attribute, repetition attribute, enable period, and group status. The user sets the field value of each field on the group setting interface.

[0058] The server builds a permission control based on the identities of each member in the chat group: All group members can display the group settings interface. When a user who is a group owner displays the group settings interface, the field values ​​of "Group Name", "Group Attributes", and "Group Status" can all be edited. When a user who is an administrator enters the group settings interface, the field values ​​of "Group Name", "Group Attributes", and "Group Status" can be edited. When an ordinary user who is a group member displays the group settings interface, only the field value of "Group Name" can be edited; the field values ​​of "Group Attributes" and "Group Status" are grayed out and cannot be edited.

[0059] Figure 3 A diagram showing the group settings interface. When the group owner or administrator enters the terminal device group settings interface, click Group Properties to enter the group settings interface. The default value of the group attribute field in the interface is "No Repeat", which means that the chat group is always enabled, and all group members can see the group at any time and enter the group for communication and interaction; users can set the field value of the group attribute to "Repeat by Week", "Repeat by Month", "Repeat by Season", "Repeat by Year", "Repeat by Date", "Repeat by Holiday", or "Custom". Figure 3 The field value of the group attribute is set to repeat by date. The pop-up time selection interface includes multiple candidate basic time units: "1st", "2nd", "3rd"... "31st". After the user selects a date, a check mark is added to the date, and then the enabled period and reminder information of the selected date are entered.

[0060] S202. When it is detected that the current time enters the deactivation schedule, determine whether the current state of the chat group is enabled. If yes, send a deactivation notification message to each member in the chat group. The deactivation notification message is used to instruct each member's terminal device to hide the chat group in the message list and contact list, and prohibit each member from sending and receiving chat messages in the chat group.

[0061] Among them, the server obtains the current system time periodically or in real time. Compare the current time with all time intervals in the deactivation schedule to determine whether the current time falls within a certain deactivation time interval. If the current time enters the deactivation schedule, the server further queries the current status of the chat group. If the group status is enabled (that is, members can send and receive messages, and the group is visible in the message list and contact list), proceed to the next step. The server generates a deactivation notification message, which contains necessary information such as the deactivation reason and deactivation time. Traverse all members in the chat group and send a deactivation notification message to each member's terminal device through the message push system. The notification message instructs the member's terminal device to hide the chat group in the message list and contact list. The server updates the status of the chat group to a deactivated state. During the deactivation period, the server refuses to process any message sending and receiving requests from the chat group.

[0062] S203. When it is detected that the current time enters the activation schedule, determine whether the current state of the chat group is disabled. If yes, send an activation notification message to each member in the chat group. The activation notification message is used to instruct each member's terminal device to display the chat group in the message list and contact list, and allow each member to send and receive chat messages in the chat group.

[0063] Among them, the server also obtains the current system time regularly or in real time. Compare the current time with all time intervals in the activation schedule to determine whether the current time falls within a certain activation time interval. If the current time enters the activation schedule, the server further queries the current status of the chat group. If the group status is disabled (that is, members cannot send and receive messages, and the group is not visible in the message list and contact list), proceed to the next step. The server generates an activation notification message, which contains necessary information such as the activation reason and activation time. Traverse all members in the chat group and send an activation notification message to each member's terminal device through the message push system. The notification message instructs the member's terminal device to display the chat group in the message list and contact list. The server updates the status of the chat group to the enabled state. During the activation period, the server allows processing of message sending and receiving requests from the chat group.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, a chat group in a deactivated state still supports the search of chat records. When the chat group is in a deactivated state, the server receives a chat record search instruction from any member of the chat group; the chat record search request carries a keyword; the corresponding chat record is searched in the historical chat record of the chat group according to the keyword, and the searched data is returned to the member.

[0065] Among them, when the chat group is in a disabled state, the server still receives chat record search instructions from any member of the chat group.

[0066] The search instruction contains the keyword that the user wants to search for, and is used to find messages containing the keyword in the historical chat records. The server verifies whether the member who initiated the search has the authority to search the historical chat records of the chat group. The judgment may be based on factors such as the group settings, the role or permission level of the member. If the member has the search permission, the server searches the historical chat records of the chat group based on the provided keyword. The search process may involve querying the chat record database to find message records containing the specified keyword. The server organizes the queried chat records, which may include key information such as the sender, receiver, sending time, and message content of the message. As needed, the server can also sort, paginate, or filter the query results to improve the availability and readability of the results. The server returns the organized query results to the member who initiated the search through the terminal device, and the member views the search results on the terminal device.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present application, the server supports users to manually switch the status of a chat group. The server receives a user's request to switch the status of the chat group; determines whether the user has switching authority, and if so, switches the current status of the chat group, and sends a status notification message to each member in the chat group.

[0068] Among them, the server receives a status switching request for the chat group from the user. The request may be initiated by a group administrator or a member with specific permissions to manually change the current status of the group (such as switching from an enabled state to a disabled state, or from a disabled state to an enabled state). The server verifies whether the user who initiated the status switching request has the authority to perform the operation. It is usually judged based on the user's role, permission level, or group settings. If the user has the switching permission, the server switches the current status of the chat group according to the request. This may involve updating group status information, adjusting group settings, or triggering related events and notifications. The server sends a status notification message to each member in the chat group to inform them that the group status has changed. The notification message may contain key information such as the time, reason, and new status of the status switch. Members can receive and view these notification messages on their terminal devices to learn about the latest changes in the group status.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, the server collects the active data of the chat group regularly or in real time, including key indicators such as the amount of messages sent, the frequency of member interactions, and the number of online users. The data can be obtained by analyzing data sources such as chat records and member behavior logs. The server analyzes and evaluates the activity level of the chat group based on the collected active data, for example, using statistical analysis, machine learning and other methods to identify the peak period, trough period and periodic changes of group activities. Based on the analysis results of the activity level, the server generates a recommended deactivation schedule. The schedule is intended to recommend deactivating the group during a period of low group activity to reduce unnecessary resource consumption and interruptions, while maintaining the activity of the group and the interest of members. The server sends the generated recommended deactivation schedule to designated users, usually group administrators or members with relevant permissions. These users can view the recommended schedule on the terminal device and decide whether to adopt it based on the actual situation.

[0070] The embodiments of the present application specifically include the following beneficial effects:

[0071] By setting recurring cycles and specific schedules, this solution can accurately match the periodic communication and interaction needs of chat groups, such as regular meetings, seasonal events, etc., ensuring that the group is active when needed and silent when not needed.

[0072] Users can flexibly set activation and deactivation schedules based on the characteristics of the group and the needs of members, making the use of the group more targeted and efficient.

[0073] Hiding groups during inactive periods effectively prevents groups from being misused or abused, reduces unnecessary message interference and waste of resources. At the same time, this also optimizes the user's message list space resources and keeps the message list neat and orderly.

[0074] By periodically enabling and disabling groups, we can avoid the frequent creation of new groups and repeated pulling of members due to temporary needs, reduce management costs, and improve the utilization of group resources.

[0075] This solution ensures that the group can quickly become active when needed and remain silent when not needed, thereby better serving specific communication purposes and improving the efficiency of group resource utilization.

[0076] Through intelligent reminders and automatic status switching functions, this solution greatly reduces the burden of manual group management for users and improves user satisfaction and convenience. Users can achieve automatic group management without frequently manually adjusting group status or sending notification messages.
