Description

A kind of instant communication method and system

technical field

The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to an instant communication method and system.

technical background

With the development of communication technology, instant messaging tools have become an indispensable network tool for netizens, and their penetration rate is very high. At the same time, it also brings some problems of how to effectively manage instant messaging contacts. Regarding these problems, a certain instant messaging software limits the number of people to 150 people to organize other communication contacts with it, artificially setting up a barrier. An important improvement in the start menu of Windows XP is to list the most commonly used programs, but this idea is not implemented in the instant messaging software.

Another instant messaging tool realizes the importance of instant messaging terminal management, and adds a list of "recent contacts", which lists people who have been in contact in the recent period, and the method of judgment is only by using a recent contact The time of the message. Put recent contacts in the "Recent Contacts" group, and the order of arrangement is random. In addition, contact information such as organizational structure is stored in the background server, not locally.

This shows, there is following shortcoming in the prior art:

1. In the technical solution, the last contact timestamp is simply used to sort out a list of recent contacts;

2. Among the recent contacts, it cannot be effectively stated that the contact is a person who is in frequent contact (all the infrequent contacts who have been contacted recently are in the list), which reduces the practical significance of the rapid communication of this function;

3. If different computers use the same account to run the instant messaging tool, when another computer is used to log in next time, it is necessary to make a judgment on whether to update the list, which is a waste of time. The reason is that the contact information data must be kept in the background server.

Detailed ways

The specific implementation manners of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

As shown in Figure 1, it is a system structure diagram of the instant messaging terminal of the present invention, as can be seen from Figure 1, the system includes:

An instant messaging interface module for receiving and sending communication information, the instant messaging interface module receives or sends instant messaging messages through the Internet or other communication channels;

The frequency information processing unit receives the communication information processed by the instant message interface module, and obtains the communication frequency of the instant communication contact according to the communication information;

The frequency information processing unit receives the sending time, the receiving time, the code of the sender, and the code of the receiver in each piece of information sent and received by the instant message interface module, and calculates the communication frequency of the instant communication contact according to these information, and Record this information in a local database;

The system also includes a data database for recording instant messages, records relevant information of instant messages, including sending time, receiving time, sender's code, receiver's code and other information in each message, and records and saves the information;

As shown in FIG. 2 , it is a schematic diagram of recording communication information between instant messaging contacts in an embodiment of the present invention; in this solution, communication information between instant messaging contacts A, B, and C is recorded.

The system also includes a display unit, which controls the display order of other instant communication contacts on the instant communication terminal according to the frequency obtained by the frequency information processing unit.

As shown in Figure 3, it is a schematic flow chart of the instant communication method of the present invention, as can be seen from the figure, the present invention specifically includes the following steps:

S1. Record the communication information of the instant messaging contact 1 and other instant messaging contacts in a certain period of time;

Record the interactive communication information between the instant messaging contact 1 and other instant messaging contacts in a certain period of time, and the information may include:

Sender information, such as sending time or sender identification, etc.;

Receiver information, such as receiving time or receiver ID, etc.

The selection of the recording time period can be determined according to the needs, for example, it can be in units of days, hours, or months, etc. The information calculated in different time periods can represent different meanings, such as in The information collected during the working hours of the day can reflect the contact frequency of the instant messaging contact in the working state, and the information collected during the rest time of the day can reflect the contact frequency of the instant messaging contact in the rest state. Frequency of contact. In this way, different statistics can be made according to different needs, which can bring great convenience to users.

S2. Obtain the communication frequency of the instant messaging contact 1 and other instant messaging contacts according to the communication information;

The present invention introduces the concept of "communication frequency", and the so-called "communication frequency" is the number of contact times per unit time between instant communication contacts. We can set the unit time according to actual needs and user habits, for example, the unit time is one month or one week;

The frequency information processing unit monitors the sending time, receiving time, sender's code, receiver's code, etc. of each piece of information, and obtains the level of communication frequency through a certain method according to the recorded data of the frequency;

S3. When the instant messaging contact 1 performs instant messaging, control the display sequence of other instant messaging contacts according to the communication frequency.

After the communication frequency of the instant messaging contact 1 is obtained, when the instant messaging contact 1 performs instant messaging, the information display of other instant messaging contacts who conduct instant communication with the instant messaging contact 1 can be controlled according to the frequency, As shown in Figure 4, the display order of other instant messaging contacts in the communication contact list of instant messaging contact 1 can be displayed according to the frequency, and when other instant messaging contacts send information to instant messaging contact 1 can also be controlled , the display order of prompt information, etc.

In the solution of this embodiment, the communication information recorded in step S1 may be that the communication information is recorded locally in the instant messaging contact 1 . In this way, what is obtained in step S2 is the local communication frequency between the instant messaging contact 1 and other instant messaging contacts. It is also possible to record the communication information on the network side of the instant messaging contact 1. In this way, what is obtained in step S2 is the communication frequency between the instant messaging contact 1 and other instant messaging contacts on the network side.

The advantage of such different settings is that the instant messaging contact 1 may use the instant messaging terminal 1 for instant messaging in multiple places, such as using the instant messaging terminal 1 for instant messaging in the office and at home, and by recording their instant messaging information locally , and control the display with other instant messaging contacts according to the frequency calculated locally. Because most of the other instant messaging contacts in the office are colleagues or office partners, and most of the other instant messaging contacts in the home are friends or relatives, so the communication frequencies obtained in the two places are different In the process of communicating with other instant messaging contacts, other instant messaging contacts can be adjusted and displayed according to different environmental factors, which brings great convenience to users. When the relevant communication information is recorded on the network side, all instant messaging contacts that communicate with the instant messaging contact 1 are displayed, and the above content can be set according to specific needs.

In step S2 of this embodiment, a threshold may be further set, the obtained communication frequency is compared with the threshold, and the first frequency and the second frequency are set according to the comparison result. For example, we can use the number of communication times per unit time as 10 as a threshold. When the calculated frequency exceeds 10, it is determined that the instant messaging contact 1 and instant messaging contact 2 communicate at a high frequency; if it is less than 10 times , it is determined that the instant messaging contact 1 and the instant messaging contact 2 communicate at a low frequency; thus, during the communication process, the communication information of the instant messaging contact 2 can be generally classified according to the high frequency or low frequency show. For example, according to the processing frequency processing results from the frequency information processing unit, it is automatically divided into two groups of "high-frequency friends" and "general-frequency friends" according to the frequency. When the instant messaging contact communicates with other instant messaging contacts , and arrange other instant messaging contacts in the contact list of the instant messaging contact according to the obtained frequency. In this solution, other instant messaging contacts with whom to communicate can be divided into high-frequency friends and common-frequency friends on the display unit for display according to the communication frequency.

The technical scheme of the present invention can automatically group other instant communication contacts with them according to the personal habits of the instant communication contacts;

In addition, different computer systems can be set with different regular instant messaging contact lists to facilitate rapid communication;

When this solution is applied to instant messaging tools such as QQ, it can automatically and accurately distinguish the different levels of contact status of "colleagues", "friends" and "general friends" according to the user's habits. Different groups artificially generated by users are omitted, which more effectively reflects the user's usage habits. When in different time spaces (day and night) and different physical spaces (office computer and home private computer), users have certain habits and different friends, which can be automatically distinguished by using this system. At the same time, it is also convenient for manufacturers of instant messaging systems to analyze and distinguish user groups.

The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and changes. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
