These terms are used only to distinguish between the same types of information. For example, first information may be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may be referred to as first information, without departing from the scope of this disclosure. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when," "with," or "in response to determining."

[0018] The technical solutions according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may include the following beneficial effects:

[0019] An information query method and apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure determines a first information set having a relation with a first session according to an information query request triggered by a first user in a first session, obtains a query result from the first information set according to the information query request, and displays the query result in the first session, thereby filtering out some candidate data according to the session, reducing the data query range, improving the efficiency of data query, and enhancing the user experience.

[0020] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an exemplary system architecture to which embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied.

[0021] As shown in Figure 1, system architecture 100 may include terminal devices 101, 102, a network 103, and a server 104. It should be understood that the number or types of terminal devices, networks, and servers in Figure 1 are merely exemplary. Implementations may have any number or types of terminal devices, networks, and servers as needed.

[0022] Network 103 is configured to provide a medium for a communications link between the terminal equipment and the server, and may include various connection types such as wire, wireless communications links, or fiber optic cables.

[0023] The terminal devices 101, 102 can interact with the server via the network 103 to receive or send requests, information, etc. The terminal devices 101, 102 may be various electronic devices including, but not limited to, smartphones, tablet computers, smart wearable devices, and personal digital assistants.

[0024] The server 104 may process the received data, such as by storing or analyzing it, or may send control commands or requests to terminal devices or other servers. The server may provide a service in response to a user's service request. It is understood that one server may provide one or more services, and the same service may be provided by multiple servers.

[0025] Based on the system architecture shown in FIG. 1 , in an embodiment of the present disclosure, after a user triggers a preset information query request in a session, the terminal device 101 or the terminal device 102 can send the preset information query request to the server 104 via the network 103. After receiving the preset information query request, the server 104 determines an information set having an association relationship with the session, obtains a query result from the information set according to the preset information query request, and returns the query result to the terminal device 101 or the terminal device 102, causing the terminal device 101 or the terminal device 102 to display the query result in the session.

[0026] The present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to specific examples.

[0027] 2 is a flowchart illustrating an information query method according to an exemplary embodiment, which can be implemented as any terminal device, platform, server, or device cluster having computing and processing capabilities, and includes the following steps:

[0028] As shown in FIG. 2, in step 201, in response to a preset information query request triggered by a first user in a first session, a first information set having an association relationship with the first session is determined.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first session may be a window for transmitting messages between users in an instant message client, and may be a one-way session between two users or a group session between multiple users. A user may log in to an instant message client and then send a message to a friend / group member in the first session. The first user is a session member of the first session. The first user may be an administrator of the first session, a member designated by the administrator of the first session, or any general member of the first session. It should be understood that this embodiment does not limit the specific identification of the first user in the first session.

[0030] In an implementation, the preset information query request triggered by the first user in the first session may be a session message sent by the first user in the first session and including preset characters, and the session message may further include information such as keywords for the query. For example, the preset characters may include characters mentioned in the first application, and the conversation message may include information such as keywords used in the query after mentioning the characters of the first application. Here, the first application may be, for example, an application such as a chat robot.

[0031] In another implementation, the preset information query request triggered by the first user in the first session may be an information query request that triggers a preset control in the first session and is input on a page associated with the preset control. For example, the preset control may be a control for querying information in the session, and the first user may trigger the preset control in the first session to cause the instant messaging client to output a page associated with the preset control. The first user may input an information query request including a keyword on the page associated with the preset control.

[0032] In this embodiment, the data query may be managed by an instant message server corresponding to the instant message client, or by another server connected to the instant message service server. The server for managing the data query stores at least one information set (e.g., the information set may be an online data table), and each information set may correspond to one corresponding object (e.g., each online data table may correspond to an application such as a chat robot, or may correspond to one preset control). The target information set is an information set bound to a corresponding object corresponding to a first session (e.g., a chat robot added in the first session), and includes the first information set (e.g., the first information set may be at least a sub-table in the online data table, and the first information set may be information in some rows or columns of at least a sub-table in the first online data table), and the first information set and the first session have an association relationship.

[0033] It should be noted that the first information set includes information other than the first session, i.e., a query to the first information set in the present disclosure is distinguished from querying messages within a session, and the first information other than the first session may include non-session messages. The first information other than the first session may include, for example, but not limited to, some transaction data that needs to be queried by session members of the first session in daily operations, and these transaction data are stored in other systems than the communication system in which the session exists.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target information set may further include a second information set, where the first information set is different from or partially the same as the second information set, and the second information set corresponds to a second session, which is different from the first session. For example, the second information set may be a sub-table in an online data table that is different from the first information set. The second information set may include, for example, but is not limited to, a type of transaction data queried by session members of the second session.

[0035] In some embodiments, the target information set may further include configuration information, which may include a correspondence between different sessions and different information sets in the target information set. For example, if session A is associated with information set a, session B is associated with information set b, and session C is associated with information set c, it may be recorded in the configuration information included in the target information set that session A and information set a have a correspondence relationship, session B and information set b have a correspondence relationship, and session C and information set c have a correspondence relationship, and information sets a, b, and c are all information sets in the target information set. The configuration information may further include one or more of configuration information on whether a query result corresponding to a session can be transferred and configuration information on a visibility range of the query result corresponding to the session.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 3, table 301 may be a subtable of an online data table, which records configuration information corresponding to different sessions. The first row of the subtable is called the field name included in the subtable, and the second row and below are configuration records corresponding to different sessions. A configuration record corresponding to any one session can set the data query authority of the session. For example, a field value of a field named "Queryable Data Table ID" can set the subtables that can be queried in the session (i.e., the correspondence between sessions and subtables). A field value of a field named "Result Transferable" can set whether query results can be transferred to other sessions. A field value of a field named "Visible only to the queryer" can set the visibility of query results.

[0037] In some embodiments, when the information set for storing the data to be queried is an online data table, preset permissions are turned on for the online data table. If preset permissions are not turned on for the online data table, only session query permissions for some subtables in the online data table can be set. For example, if session D has query permission for subtable d in the online data table, all session members of session D have query permission for subtable d through session D. If preset permissions are turned on for the online data table, user and session query permissions for some subtables in the online data table can be set. That is, for a subtable, when both the session and the members of the session have query permission for the subtable, the members of the session can query the subtable through the session. If only the session has query permission for the subtable, or if only the members of the session have query permission for the subtable, the members of the session cannot query the subtable through the session. For example, session D has query permission for sub-table d in the online data table, and session E does not have query permission for sub-table d. At the same time, that is, session member L belonging to session D and session E has query permission for sub-table d, and session member K belonging to session D has query permission for sub-table d, then session member L can query sub-table d through session D, but session member L cannot query sub-table d through session E, and session member K cannot query sub-table d through session D either.

[0038] Therefore, after determining the first online data table associated with the preset information query request, it can first be determined whether the first online data table has the preset permission turned on. If the preset permission is turned on, a target identifier can be first obtained, which may include an identifier of the first user of the preset information query request triggered in the first session and an identifier of the first session. Then, based on the target identifier, a sub-table corresponding to the target identifier can be searched from the first online data table to be used as the first information set. If the preset permission is not turned on, permission setting information for the first session is obtained, and a sub-table corresponding to the first session in the first online data table is determined as the first information set based on the permission setting information.

[0039] In step 202, obtain a query result from the first information set according to the information query request, and in step 203, display the query result in the first conversation.

[0040] In this embodiment, the information query request may include, for example, a keyword for the query, and a query result may be obtained from the first information set based on the keyword and displayed in the first session. In one implementation, the query result may be displayed to all session members of the first session. In another implementation, the query result may be displayed to some session members of the first session, where the some session members include the first user of the preset information query request triggered in the first session and at least one other user. In yet another implementation, the query result may be displayed only to the first user of the preset information query request triggered in the first session.

[0041] The information query method according to the present disclosure determines a first information set having an association relationship with a first session based on an information query request triggered by a first user in a first session, obtains a query result from the first information set according to the information query request, and displays the query result in the first session. This eliminates some candidate data according to the session, narrows the data query scope, improves data query efficiency, and enhances user experience. For example, in a scenario where instant messaging sessions are used as the main collaborative communication group, a specific group is typically a communication task group for a specific transaction. For example, if group A is a communication collaboration group selling product B, a data record set X associated with product B can be associated with group A, allowing members of group A to easily query information in data record X in group A.

[0042] 4 is a flowchart illustrating another information query method according to an exemplary embodiment, which can be implemented as any terminal device, platform, server, or device cluster having computing and processing capabilities, and includes the following steps:

[0043] 4, in step 401, a first data query request is received, the first query request is from a first query interface, and the first query interface is associated with a first online data table. In step 402, a first data query range in the first online table is determined based on the first query request.

[0044] In an implementation manner, the first query interface may be located in a first session, and the first query request includes a session identifier of the first session. Determining a first query range in the first online data table based on the first query request includes determining the first query range from the contents of a settings sub-table in the first online data table. The settings sub-table stores a correspondence between the session identifier and the query range.

[0045] For example, the first query interface may be, for example, a first chat robot, which is added as a session member of a first session and associated with a first online data table, in which queried data is stored. The first query request may be a request sent by a user in a message mentioning the first chat robot in the first session, and the first query request may include a session identifier of the first session, a keyword for the query, and the like. Specifically, a setting sub-table in the first online data table stores a correspondence between a session identifier and a data query range. Therefore, the first data query range may be determined by the content of the setting sub-table in the first online data table and the session identifier of the first session included in the first query request. That is, a data query range corresponding to the session identifier of the first session is searched for as the first data query range from the content of the setting sub-table.

[0046] In another implementation, the first query interface is located on a first page, the first query request includes a user identifier of a user who inputs the first query request on the first page, and determining a first query range in the first online data table based on the first query request includes determining the first query range with content in a settings sub-table in the first online data table, where the settings sub-table stores a correspondence between the user identifier and the query range.

[0047] For example, the first page may be a page for querying data, and the first query interface may be a link or a control on the first page. The first query request may be a request input by a user through the first query interface, and the first query request may include a user identifier of the user who input the first query request on the first page. Specifically, a settings subtable in the first online data table stores a correspondence between the user identifier and the data query range. Therefore, the first data query range may be determined by the contents of the settings subtable in the first online data table and the user identifier included in the first query request. That is, the data query range corresponding to the user identifier is searched for as the first data query range from the contents of the settings subtable.

[0048] It should be noted that the first data query range may be different from or the same as the second query range, and the second query range is the visible range of the first online data table to the user who sent the first query request, i.e., the second query range is a data query range that determines the user's authority based on the table itself. The first data query range is a data query range set for a data query request in a specific transaction scenario. For example, User A originally has query authority (i.e., the second query range) for all sub-tables a, b, and c in Online Data Table B, but in a specific transaction operation scenario, User A only needs to query data in Sub-Table a. In this case, the solution described above in the present disclosure can provide User A with a query interface that can query only data in Sub-Table a (the first query range), thereby improving the efficiency of data queries.

[0049] In step 403, the query result is obtained from the first data query range and output to the first query interface.

[0050] In this embodiment, based on the keywords included in the first query request, a query result can be obtained from the first data query range and output to the first query interface.

[0051] According to this embodiment, a first query range in a first online table is determined based on a first query request from a first query interface, and query results are obtained from the first query range and output to the first query interface, thereby eliminating some candidate data as needed, reducing the data query range, improving the efficiency of data queries, and improving the user experience.

[0052] It should be noted that although the above examples describe the operations of the methods according to the embodiments of the present disclosure in a particular order, this does not necessarily require or imply that the operations must be performed in that particular order, or that all operations must be performed to achieve a desired result. In contrast, the order of steps shown in the flowcharts may be changed. Additionally or alternatively, some steps may be omitted, multiple steps may be combined into a single step, and / or a single step may be divided into multiple steps.

[0053] The following is a schematic description of aspects of the present disclosure with reference to complete specific application examples.

[0054] An application scenario may be a process in which a user X queries data through a group session G. Here, the user X is a session member of the group session G, and the session members of the group session G may further include a user Y, etc.

[0055] Specifically, first, user Y may add chat robot R as a session member of group session G. After adding chat robot R as a session member of group session G, the server may create one setting record for group G in online data table r bound to chat robot R. The setting record may include one or more sub-tables associated with group session G in online data table r, and members of group session G may query the one or more sub-tables via group session G, for example, setting sub-table g as the sub-table associated with group session G. Sub-table g stores product sales data for the previous quarter, including information such as product category, product name, sales quantity, and sales price.

[0056] Then, user X can query sub-table g or query data from sub-table g through group session G. For example, if user X wants to query the sales status of science books in the last quarter, he / she may send a message referring to chat robot R in group session G, and the message may specifically be "@chat robot R science books". The terminal device can send an information query request to the server according to the message, and the information query request may include, but is not limited to, the identifier of chat robot R, the identifier of user X, and the identifier of group session G.

[0057] The server can search the online data table r bound to the chat robot R according to the identifier of the group session G, search the online data table r for the setting record created for the group session G based on the identifier of the group session G, and determine the association between the sub-table g in the online data table r and the group session G according to the setting record. In one case (for example, when the online data table r does not have elevated authority turned on), data related to the keyword "science books" can be directly obtained from the sub-table g as a query result, or data of some fields of the data related to the keyword can be used as the query result, and the query result can be returned to the terminal device.

[0058] In another case (for example, when the online data table r has enabled higher authority), it is further determined again according to the identifier of user X whether user X has the authority to query sub-table g. If user X has the authority to query sub-table g, it can again obtain data related to the queried keyword "science books" from sub-table g as the query result, or data of some fields of the data related to the keyword as the query result, and return the query result to the terminal device. After receiving the query result, the terminal device can send a session message including the query result in the group session G via the chat robot R.

[0059] It should be noted that user X is also a member of group session T, and the sub-table associated with group session T in online data table r is sub-table t, and user X can query sub-table t or query data from sub-table t through group session T, but user X cannot query sub-table g or query data from sub-table g through group session T.

[0060] Any session member of the group session G can remove the chat robot R from the session, and after removing the chat robot R from the session, can cancel the association between the sub-table g and the group session G. For example, the setting record created for the group session G in the online data table r can be deleted.
