Description

Information sharing method and system, instant messaging client and server

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to an information sharing method and system, an instant messaging client and a server.

Background

With the continuous development of information technology, internet service providers can assist users in directly sharing accessed WEB pages or embedded resources to social platforms by integrating sharing interfaces of different social platforms (such as social platforms like microblogs, blogs and SNS social websites) into the WEB pages. However, as a social platform earlier than the WEB2.0 platform, the instant messaging system provides users with sharing WEB pages or embedded resources in two ways:

1. and manually copying the resource website of the WEB webpage by the user, pasting the resource website in the chat window of the opened instant messaging client, and sharing the WEB webpage to the contact person in a window chat mode.

2. After a user clicks a sharing button in a WEB page, a website can automatically generate a dedicated sharing website of the user, wherein the dedicated sharing website comprises information such as the WEB website capable of being attached with information such as user identity and the like, a webpage title, a short description of a webpage and the like, and the user can paste the sharing website in an open instant messaging client chat window to share the sharing website to a contact person.

The two existing sharing methods have the following disadvantages:

1) the resource websites shared by the users to the contacts all point to the internet website directly, and when the shared person accesses the website through the link address, the instant messaging service provider cannot obtain the access information of the users, so that the following problems occur: the condition that the user accesses the website through the instant messaging tool cannot be counted, the access behavior brought by user sharing cannot be tracked, and a propagation path for gradually sharing and forwarding information cannot be established.

Example one

As shown in fig. 2, a flowchart of an information sharing method embodiment 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, and includes:

step 101, an instant messaging client receives a sharing request sent by a sharer through a browser of an internet site, wherein the sharing request comprises a resource website of the internet site.

Specifically, the browser may send a sharing request to the client through the instant messaging client sharing interface, which integrates the sharing interface reference of the instant messaging client into an internet site resource page displayed by the browser, and displays the sharing interface reference on the resource page displayed by the browser. The sharing interface reference may appear as a sharing button or a sharing operation connection. In addition, the sharing interface reference may be a direct reference or an indirect reference, for example, the indirect reference may be embodied as: a browser-side script program provided by the site is executed, which re-references the client interface.

In the following, two specific implementation processes of sending a sharing request to a client by a browser are briefly introduced by taking a sharing interface reference expression as a sharing button as an example.

The first mode is that after a sharer accesses internet site resources through a browser and clicks a sharing button on an internet site resource page displayed by the browser, the browser calls a sharing interface of an instant messaging client to obtain a resource website of the resource page displayed by the browser, and simultaneously sends a sharing request containing the resource website to a chat session between the sharer and a sharee through the sharing interface to trigger the instant messaging client to perform sharing operation.

The chat session in the embodiment of the present invention may be understood as a connection relationship between the sharer and the sharee, and the connection relationship may be a connection of a currently ongoing session or a connection of a session that has ended but remains valid.

The second method is that after a sharer clicks a sharing button on a resource page, a browser calls a sharing interface and obtains the resource website, the resource website is automatically copied to a clipboard, so that the sharer can manually paste the resource website to a chat session window between the sharer and a sharee (the chat session window is a display unit of a chat session between the sharer and the sharee of an instant messaging client), and the instant messaging client is triggered to perform sharing operation.

Unlike the first method, the browser does not send a sharing request to the connection relationship between the sharer and the sharee, but copies the resource website to the clipboard, so that the sharer pastes the resource website to the chat window in the subsequent process, and triggers the client to send the sharing request to the server by means of click sending, for example.

It should be noted that, in the two implementation manners, after the sharer clicks the sharing button, the browser may first obtain the resource website of the resource page, then call the sharing interface of the client, and then send the sharing request to the client through the sharing interface. In addition, the browser can call the sharing interface first and then acquire a resource website; or the two operation actions are completed synchronously, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this, as long as the sharing request including the resource address can be sent to the instant messaging client.

The instant communication client in the invention can be embodied in two forms of a webpage client and a local client.

For the Resource website included in the sharing request, it may be defined by URI/IRI (universal Resource Identifier; international Resource Identifiers), and in addition, the sharing request may also include some optional information such as Resource name, Resource description, and the like, which is not limited by the present invention.

The browser of the internet site in the embodiment of the invention is hereinafter referred to as a browser, and generally refers to internet information service client software.

And 102, displaying the contact information of the sharer, and receiving the information of the sharee determined by the sharer.

The instant messaging client receives the sharing request, is triggered to start sharing operation, firstly displays the contact information owned by the sharer to the sharer for viewing, and waits for receiving the information of the sharer determined by the sharer, so as to make sure the object of the sharing behavior.

It should be noted that the contact may include an individual contact and also include a group contact, and the contact may be a friend of the sharer, or a temporary contact or a one-way relationship contact of the sharer, which is not limited in the present invention. In addition, the number of the shared persons determined by each sharing behavior can be one or any number according to the wishes of the shared persons, and an upper limit value can also be set by the instant messaging system, so that the number selected by the shared persons cannot exceed the upper limit value, and the number of the selected shared persons is not limited by the invention.

Because there may be a plurality of sharees, it can be known from the description of the connection relationship between the sharer and the sharee in step 101, as long as one of the sharees and the sharer have the connection relationship of the conversation chat, the purpose of sharing information with a plurality of contacts can be correspondingly achieved by using the technical scheme of the present invention.

Step 103, forwarding the sharing request and the information of the shared person to an instant messaging server through a chat session between the shared person and the shared person, so that the instant messaging server generates a sharing website by using the resource website in the sharing request, and sends the sharing website to the shared person as a sharing information object.

After the sharer selects the sharee and confirms submission, the instant communication client forwards the sharing request and the information of the sharee to the instant communication server, and on one hand, the server needs to convert the resource website into a sharing website, namely, the resource website is mapped into a service address uniformly addressed by the server side, so that the resource website is managed; on the other hand, the server also needs to store the corresponding relationship between the resource website and the sharing website.

After the instant messaging server completes the two actions, the sharing website generated by conversion is sent to the instant messaging client of the shared person as the information sharing object, so that the shared person can know that the friend shares information with the shared website, and can access the internet website through the sharing website displayed in the window. Certainly, in order to make the sharer definitely know whether the sharing behavior is successful, the instant messaging server may further send the shared information object to the instant messaging client of the sharer, that is, the shared information object may be respectively displayed in the chat session windows of the sharer and the sharee.

It should be noted that, before the sharer submits the sharing request to the server through the client in step 103, the instant messaging client may also prompt the sharer to submit simple description information of the resource page content to the server, for example, add a new simple description or edit and update an existing brief description, add an evaluation of the sharer, and then submit the sharing request to the server, so that the brief description information may also be used as a sharing information object and sent to the instant messaging client of the sharee together with the sharing website, that is, the sharing information object including the simple description and the sharing website may be sent to the instant messaging client of the sharee for display.

In addition, after the instant messaging server converts the resource website into the sharing website, the security level of the resource website can be set, and the corresponding early warning information is determined according to the security level, so that the sharing information object sent by the server to the shared person can also comprise the security level and/or the early warning information. That is to say, the shared information object can include a brief description and/or a security level and/or early warning information according to the actual situation besides including the shared website.

According to the information sharing method, the resource website is converted into the sharing website and then sent to the shared person, and the sharing website does not directly point to the Internet website any more, so that when the shared person accesses the Internet website through the sharing website, the address is resolved through the instant messaging server to obtain a real resource website, and the corresponding website can be accessed, and therefore an instant messaging service provider can count the condition that the shared person accesses the website through the instant messaging client (at least including information on the statistics of the access amount and the visitor).

In addition, the website addresses shared in the prior art are generally exposed and can be interpreted, if a sharer wants to obtain website rewards or improve the authority of the sharer on the website in a friend recommendation mode, the sharee can directly access the internet website by interpreting the shared website addresses, and the purpose of friend recommendation of the sharer cannot be achieved. By adopting the information sharing method of the embodiment of the invention, the sharee obtains the converted shared website, only the instant communication server can analyze and obtain the real resource website, and the sharee cannot directly read the shared website, so that the benefits of the sharee can be effectively ensured.

Example two

As shown in fig. 3, a flowchart of an information sharing method embodiment 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, and includes:

step 201, an instant messaging client receives a sharing request sent by a sharer through a browser of an internet site, where the sharing request includes a resource website.

Step 201 is the same as step 101, and is not described herein again.

Step 202, determining whether the sharer has logged in the instant messaging client, if not, prompting the sharer to log in, and then executing step 203.

Because the sharer needs to send the sharing request to the instant messaging server through the instant messaging client, when the sharer needs to share information, whether the sharer successfully logs in the client or not needs to be judged, if the judgment result shows that the sharer does not successfully log in (including two conditions of non-login and overtime login), a client login interface is returned to the sharer to prompt the sharer to log in the client, and after the sharer successfully logs in, the contact information of the sharer is obtained, and the step 203 is executed; if the judgment result indicates that the login is successful, the contact information of the sharer is directly acquired, and step 203 is executed.

Step 203, displaying the contact information of the sharer, and receiving the information of the sharee determined by the sharer.

Step 204, forwarding the sharing request and the information of the shared person to an instant messaging server through a chat session between the shared person and the shared person, so that the instant messaging server generates a sharing website by using the resource website in the sharing request, and sends the sharing website to the shared person as a sharing information object.

Steps

203 and 204 are the same as

steps

102 and 103, and are not repeated here.

As shown in fig. 4, a process of information sharing by calling an API is shown, where an instant messaging client is a web client, and the sharing method may include the following steps:

1. the sharer accesses the internet site through a browser.

2. And returning the resource page with the sharing button by the Internet site, and displaying the resource page to the sharer through the browser.

3. And clicking the sharing button by the sharer, and initiating a resource page sharing request to the instant messaging client by the browser, wherein the sharing request comprises the acquired resource website.

4. The instant communication client judges the login state of the sharer, and if the sharer does not log in, a login interface is returned to the browser and displayed to the sharer by the browser.

5. The sharer executes login operation, inputs a user name and a password in a login interface and selects login.

6. And after the instant communication client judges that the login is successful, returning a contact person information list and/or a group information list to the browser for the sharer to select the object of the sharing behavior.

7. If the resource website comprises the short description of the webpage, the short description is displayed to the sharer through the browser, and the sharer can modify the short description and add the comment of the sharer.

8. After receiving the information of the sharee selected by the sharer, the sharer can submit a sharing request to the client through the browser, and then the client forwards the sharing request to the instant messaging server. Before submitting the sharing request, the sharer can be prompted to carry out verification code authentication, and the sharing request can be submitted to the client only on the premise that the authentication code is correctly input.

9. The server generates a sharing website by using the resource website and sends the sharing website to the client sides of the sharer and the sharee, so that the information sharing process of the embodiment of the invention is completed.

EXAMPLE III

As shown in fig. 5, a flowchart of an information sharing method embodiment 3 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, and includes:

step 301, an instant messaging client receives a sharing request sent by a sharer through a browser of an internet site, where the sharing request includes a resource website.

Step 302, determining whether the sharer has logged in the instant messaging client, if not, prompting the sharer to log in, and then executing step 303.

And 303, displaying the contact information of the sharer, and receiving the information of the sharee determined by the sharer.

Step 304, forwarding the sharing request and the information of the shared user to an instant messaging server through a chat session between the shared user and the shared user, so that the instant messaging server generates a sharing website by using the resource website in the sharing request, and sends the sharing website to the shared user as a sharing information object.

Steps 301 to 304 are the same as steps 201 to 204, and are not described herein again.

And 305, acquiring sharing behavior information, and sending the sharing behavior information to the instant messaging server for storage.

According to the methods shown in embodiments 1 and 2 of the present invention, after the sharer shares information, the situation that the sharee accesses the shared information through the instant messaging client can be counted, in embodiment 3, in order to further implement tracking and tracing of the shared information propagation process, the instant messaging client needs to obtain information related to the sharing behavior and send the information to the instant messaging server for storage, so as to provide a certain technical basis for efficiently tracking the information propagation process.

The sharing behavior information comprises a resource website, a sharing website, sharer information, sharee information, information sharing time, an information source and chat conversation message information. The method comprises the steps that sharer information is obtained to know who initiates the sharing operation, the information of a sharee is obtained to know who the sharing operation is directed to, and the sharer information and the information of the sharee can be embodied as user names registered by an instant messaging server; the information source can be embodied as the name of an internet site and the user name registered by a sharer on the website, the chat session message information comprises session ID client login person information (for the sharer, the client login person information is sharer information, for the sharer, the client login person information is sharee information), sender information (i.e. sharer information), receiver information (i.e. one or more of the sharee information), sending time, a message ID and message content, and the sharer can know in which specific session process (embodied by the session ID) the sharer is and at what time (embodied by the sending time) sends the sharing website (embodied by the message content) to the sharer through which specific message (embodied by the message ID) by obtaining the chat session message information.

For example, the sharer has a name A registered in the instant messenger server₁The user names registered by the friends are respectively B₁、B₂、B₃、B₄And the user name registered by the sharer on the Xinlang website is A₂When the sharer accesses the Sina website, the resource website U of the resource page C is displayed at 10:00 of 2012.07.21₁Converted into a shared website U₂Is sent to B₁、B₂、B₃If sharing is completed, A₁The client side can acquire the relevant information of the sharing behavior as follows: u shape₁；U₂；A₁；B₁、B₂、B₃(ii) a 2012.07.21-10: 00; Xinlang-A₂(ii) a Specific chat session message information for each sharee (to share to B)₁For example, if A₁Is between B and₁in the second session process, the sharing website is sent to the B when the fifth session message is sent₁And D is_iIndicating a session with an ID of i, E_jIndicating a message with ID j, sharer A₁Corresponding chat session messageThe information is as follows: d₂A₁；A₁；B₁；2012.07.21-10:00；E₅；U₂The shared person B₁The corresponding chat session message information is: d₂B₁；A₁；B₁；2012.07.21-10:00；E₅；U₂. It should be noted that the sending time of the chat session message information may be the same as the information sharing time in the sharing behavior, or may lag behind the information sharing time). In addition, sharer A₁It is also possible that the resource website of resource page C is converted into a shared website at 17:30 of 2012.07.24 and sent to B₁、B₄If sharing is completed, A₁The client obtains the relevant information of the sharing behavior: u shape₁；U₂；A₁；B₁、B₄(ii) a 2012.07.24-17: 30; Xinlang-A₂(ii) a Specific chat session message information for each sharee.

According to the description, the instant messaging server receives and stores the sharing behavior information acquired by the instant messaging client, so that the user can easily know who shares the information for the user from the client at any time, and technical support is provided for tracking the propagation path of the information.

Step 404, forwarding the sharing request and the information of the shared user to an instant messaging server through a chat session between the shared user and the shared user, so that the instant messaging server generates a sharing website by using the resource website in the sharing request, and sends the sharing website to the shared user as a sharing information object.

Step 405, the instant messaging client of the sharer obtains the sharing behavior information and sends the sharing behavior information to the instant messaging server for storage.

Steps 401 to 405 are the same as steps 301 to 305, and are not described herein again.

Step 406, after the shared user accesses and forwards the sharing website, the instant messaging client of the shared user obtains forwarding behavior information, and sends the forwarding behavior information to the instant messaging server for storage.

In general, after accessing an internet website through a sharing website, a sharee may forward information to a friend and/or a group of the sharee, and therefore, to track an information propagation path, the instant messaging server needs to store not only sharing behavior information but also forwarding behavior information, so as to track a complete information propagation path by combining the sharing behavior information and the forwarding behavior information, and find out a real information propagation source.

It should be noted that the forwarding behavior is actually a narrow sharing behavior, and the implementation process thereof is similar to the information sharing method of the present invention. In addition, as for the forwarding behavior, the forwarding behavior may be a further operation performed by the sharee after receiving the sharing website of the sharee, or the sharee may continue to perform the sharing operation on another batch of sharees after completing the sharing operation on one batch of sharees, and this sharing operation performed on another batch of sharees may also be regarded as the forwarding behavior of the present invention.

The forwarding behavior information comprises forwarder information, information forwarding time, source chat session message information and destination chat session message information. The forwarder information is any one of the sharee information, the forwarder information is at least one of friend information of the forwarder, and similarly, the forwarder information and the forwarder information can also be embodied as user names registered by the instant messaging server; the source chat session message information and the destination chat session message information are also as described above, and include the login person information of the session ID client, the sender information (i.e., the forwarder information), the receiver information (i.e., one of the forwarder information), the sending time, the message ID, and the message content, except that the source chat session message information is used to represent the source of the sharing website, that is, the forwarder is used as the sharee to obtain the sharing website through which specific message in which session process with the sharer, and the destination chat session message information is used to represent the time at which the sharee sends the sharing website to the forwarder through which specific message in which specific session process.

Still taking the sharing behavior as an example, if the shared party B₁Through sharer A₁The sharing website sent at 10:00 at 2012.07.21 visited resource page C and forwarded to friend F at 15:00 at 2012.07.22₁、F₂、F₃Then after the forwarding is completed, B₁The client will obtain the relevant information of this forwarding behavior as follows: u shape₁；U₂；B₁；F₁、F₂、F₃；2012.07.22-15:00；D₂B₁；A₁；B₁；2012.07.21-10:00；E₅；U₂；D₁B₁；B₁；F₁；2012.07.22-15:00；E₁；U₂(the destination chat session message information indicates B₁Is between F and₁in the first session process, the shared website is forwarded to F when the first session message is sent₁)。

It should be noted that, the forwarding process of the information is similar to the sharing process of the information, and after the forwarder determines the information (which may include friends and/or groups) of the forwarder to which the forwarding behavior is directed, the information can be forwarded in the following manner according to the difference of the conversion manners of the shared web addresses:

(1) if the sharing website is only formed by converting the resource website, the resource website and the sharing website are in a one-to-one relationship, namely, the sharing website corresponds to the same sharing website regardless of who requests to share or forward a certain resource website. In order to realize the tracing of the information transmission path, the instant communication client sends the resource website and the source chat session message information to the instant communication server in the forwarding process, determines the source of the forwarding information through the source chat session message information, searches the sharing website through the resource website, and sends the sharing website to the friend and/or group appointed by the forwarder. Therefore, when information forwarding is realized, the incidence relation among the sharer, the forwarder and the forwarder is established, and technical preparation is provided for tracking the propagation path of the information.

(2) If the sharing website is formed by converting the resource website and the sharer information, the sharing website contains the sharer information, so that the resource website and the sharing website are in a one-to-many relationship, namely the same resource website, and the sharing websites corresponding to the sharing website are different due to the difference of the sharer information. In the forwarding process, the instant messaging client sends the resource website to the instant messaging server, and the server converts the resource website into a sharing website corresponding to the forwarder and then sends the sharing website to friends and/or groups appointed by the forwarder. Because the server knows the corresponding relation between the converted sharing website and the forwarder and can know the information source by acquiring the access behavior of the forwarder, the server can establish the association relation among the sharer, the forwarder and the forwarder while realizing information forwarding, and provides technical preparation for tracking the propagation path of the information.

Certainly, when the resource website is uniformly addressed to the sharing website by the instant messaging server, the resource website and the information of the sharer can be extracted from the sharing request, and other additional information can be extracted to improve the specific analysis efficiency.

EXAMPLE five

As shown in fig. 7, a flowchart of an information sharing method embodiment 5 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, and includes:

step 501, an instant messaging client receives a sharing request sent by a sharer through a browser of an internet site, where the sharing request includes a resource website.

Step 502, judging whether the sharer logs in the instant communication client, if not, prompting the sharer to log in, and then executing step 503.

Step 503, displaying the contact information of the sharer, and receiving the information of the sharee determined by the sharer.

Step 504, forwarding the sharing request and the information of the shared user to an instant messaging server through a chat session between the shared user and the shared user, so that the instant messaging server generates a sharing website by using the resource website in the sharing request, and sends the sharing website to the shared user as a sharing information object.

And 505, the instant messaging client of the sharer acquires the sharing behavior information and sends the sharing behavior information to the instant messaging server for storage.

Steps 501-505 are the same as steps 301-305, and are not repeated here. It should be noted that, the instant messaging server may store forwarding behavior information in addition to the sharing behavior information.

Step 506, if the shared person accesses the sharing website, the instant messaging client of the shared person acquires the access behavior information of the shared person and sends the access behavior information to the instant messaging server for storage.

After the sharer shares information (or the forwarder forwards the information), if the sharee (or the forwarder) accesses the internet website through the sharing website, the propagation path of the information can be tracked in a mode of acquiring access behavior information of the sharee (or the forwarder).

The access behavior information includes visitor information, access time, and chat session message information. The visitor information is sharer information or forwarder information (namely, the sharer visits the internet site through the sharing website after completing the sharing operation, or the forwarder visits the internet site through the sharing website after completing the forwarding operation), sharee information or forwarder information (namely, the sharee visits the internet site after receiving the sharing website of the sharer, or the forwarder visits the internet site after receiving the sharing website of the forwarder); the chat conversation message information is used for showing the source of the shared website, namely, a visitor obtains the shared website through a specific message in the conversation process of the visitor, and visits the internet site through the shared website.

Still taking the sharing behavior described above as an example, if sharee B is shared at 2012.07.22 at 14:30₁Through sharer A₁The sharing website sent at 10:00 of 2012.07.21 visited resource page C, then B₁The instant messaging client will obtain the information of this access behavior as follows: b is₁；2012.07.22-14:30；D₂B₁；A₁；B₁；2012.07.21-10:00；E₅；U₂If the propagation path of the trace information is A₁To B₁And B is₁Is through A₁The resource page C for sharing website access is sent at 2012.07.21-10: 00.

If the forwarder F is 15:30 at 2012.07.22₁Through forwarder B₁The sharing website sent at 15:00 of 2012.07.22 visited resource page C, then F₁The instant messaging client will obtain the information of this access behavior as follows: f₁；2012.07.22-15:30；D₁F₁；B₁；F₁；2012.07.22-15:00；E₁；U₂. The propagation path of the trace information is a₁To B₁To F₁。

Specifically, the visitor (which may be embodied as a sharer, a forwarder, a sharee, a forwarder) may access the sharing website in the following manner: the instant communication client receives an access request sent by an accessor and forwards the access request to an instant communication server, wherein the access request comprises a sharing website, so that the instant communication server searches a resource website corresponding to the sharing website according to the sharing website and instructs a browser to access the resource website.

After receiving the shared website, the visitor can submit an access request to the instant messaging server by clicking the shared website, the server analyzes the shared website (namely, finds a resource website corresponding to the shared website according to the shared website), redirects back the resource website, and displays the content of a related resource page through the browser, thereby realizing the access process of the shared website.

In addition, because a shared resource website may have a certain potential safety hazard, in order to improve the security of the user access behavior, the access process provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further implement hierarchical control over the access behavior, which is specifically embodied as:

after the visitor clicks the sharing website to submit an access request to the instant messaging server, the server judges the security level of the sharing website first, determines that early warning information corresponding to the security level is sent to the instant messaging client, and controls the access behavior of the visitor through the mode. If the shared website does not have potential safety hazard, the security level of the shared website is the highest, at the moment, the server can analyze the shared website, redirect the analyzed resource website and display webpage content to the visitor through the browser; if the shared website has certain potential safety hazard, the security level of the shared website is relatively low, the server can remind the visitor of continuing the access behavior by sending early warning information, and the visitor continues or stops the access according to the selection of the visitor; if the shared website has a high risk (or the shared website is strictly prohibited to be transmitted by a network supervision department), the security level of the shared website is low, the server can refuse the access behavior of the visitor (namely refuse to analyze the shared website) and send related early warning information to the visitor, so that the user can be prevented from accessing the internet site with a high risk, and the security of the access behavior of the user can be effectively ensured.

It should be noted that the security level of the shared web address is not fixed and unchanged, and the instant messaging service provider may prohibit the parsing process of one or some shared web addresses permanently or temporarily according to the change of the security level of the resource web address itself or the requirement of the network regulatory department, thereby ensuring the flexibility of the security protection of the present invention.

EXAMPLE six

Corresponding to the information sharing method of the instant messaging client, the invention also provides an information sharing method of an instant messaging server side, which comprises the following steps:

According to the embodiment of the invention, after the client side obtains the resource website to be shared, the resource website is not directly sent to the shared person, but the resource website is mapped into the uniformly addressed sharing website through the instant messaging server, and then the sharing website is sent to the shared person. Therefore, the server can realize the management of the resource website; in addition, the sharing website can be redirected to the resource website only after being analyzed by the server, so that the instant messaging service provider can count the condition that the shared person accesses the website through the instant messaging client.

Correspondingly, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for a user (which may be embodied as a sharer, a forwarder, a sharee, and a forwarder) to access a shared website, which may include: receiving an access request sent by the instant messaging client, wherein the access request comprises a sharing website; and searching a resource website corresponding to the shared website according to the shared website, and indicating a browser to access the resource website.

In addition, because a shared resource website may have a certain potential safety hazard, in order to improve the security of the user access behavior, the access process provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further implement hierarchical control over the access behavior, which is specifically embodied as: after receiving the access request, the server determines early warning information according to the security level of the shared website, and sends the early warning information as a shared information object to the instant messaging client.

The instant communication server can configure the security level and the early warning information of the shared website according to the following modes:

first, the category of the resource web address is divided.

The instant communication server matches and predicts the form and generation mechanism of the resource website according to the format configuration or format characteristics of the resource website, analyzes the resource website to extract entities such as sites, substations, sites/substation channels, original resource websites, resource websites and the like, and organizes the resource websites into different classifications to realize access control on the resource websites from different categories. And if the server fails in matching and prediction, taking the original resource website as the resource website during extraction, and recording a failure log for manual analysis and processing. The original resource website refers to a website still accessible to corresponding website resources after removing a parameter table added to a website program when a browser executes sharing operation in the resource website.

Secondly, the security level of the web addresses of different types of resources is configured.

The entities may be ranked, sorted, tagged, rated for security, and access control policy set using a search engine (i.e., automatic sorting) in conjunction with a manual (i.e., manually set) directory tagging service. In addition, in order to enhance the flexibility and accuracy of the access control of the invention, the instant messaging server also provides a website management interface, and the content classification labels, the security ratings and the access control strategies of the sites, the substations, the channels of the sites/the substations and the specific resource addresses can be modified according to the report verification result and/or the requirements of the supervision department.

The access control policy of the server in the present invention is briefly described below from two different directions.

On one hand, for the operation action, the access control of the invention refers to the control of three operations of resource sharing website, information sharing object forwarding and website sharing accessing. The hierarchy of the access control policy can be configured according to the combination of three information, namely site, substation, site/substation channel, content classification label and security rating; alternatively, the configuration may be implemented according to a specific resource website. The time of access control can be divided into permanent, specified time period, etc.

For the shared resource website operation and the shared information object forwarding operation, the access control measures can be divided into allowing operation, prohibiting forwarding to a contact person or a group operation, displaying a continuous operation warning confirmation dialog box (so that a user can select to confirm or cancel the operation), and the like; for the operation of accessing the shared website, the access control measures can be divided into displaying a prompt page for prohibiting access, displaying a warning confirmation interface for continuing access (so that the user can select to continue accessing or closing the page operation), displaying a failure page, and the like.

On the other hand, for the subject of access control, the access control can be divided into client access control and server access control.

The client access control only independently realizes the access control of the operation of accessing the shared website, the access control strategy is defined according to the security level, the security level and the warning information receive the sharing and forwarding request from the instant communication server, the instant communication server generates according to the extracted entity access control strategy and the current hierarchical classification label, security level and access control strategy of the resource website, and indicates in the shared information object of the instant communication client returned to the sharer and the sharee, and the client performs the access control on the access operation according to the access control strategy and the warning information of the security level. The access control measures accessed by the client are generally only that when a mouse is hovered to a shared information object, warning information and an access operation link are displayed, a user selects to click the access operation link, access control of access operation is handed to the instant messaging server end to be executed when a browser opens a shared resource website, and the access control measures accessed by the instant messaging server are divided into instructing the browser to access the resource website, displaying a no-access prompting page, displaying a continuous access warning confirmation interface (so that the user selects continuous access or closing page operation), displaying a failure page and the like.

The server access control can realize access control related to resource sharing website operation and information sharing object forwarding operation, and is generally realized by matching with a client, after the client submits sharing and forwarding operations, the server determines an access strategy and returns access control measures to the client, such as allowing operation, prohibiting forwarding to a contact or group operation, and displaying a continuous operation warning confirmation dialog box (so that a user can select to confirm or cancel the operation). When other conditions besides the operation permission occur, the client prompts the user of the reason for the operation failure, or prompts the user to select whether to continue the operation, or the user adjusts the operation according to the prompt, for example, the operation is adjusted to be shared by only a single contact and not to be shared by the group.

In order to track the information propagation path, the server needs to store a series of information sent by the client, corresponding to the above-mentioned sharing method on the client side. The concrete embodiment is as follows:

if the client side obtains sharing behavior information of the user, the server receives and stores the sharing behavior information, wherein the sharing behavior information comprises a resource website, a sharing website, sharer information, sharee information, information sharing time, an information source and chat session message information. And/or, if the client acquires the forwarding behavior information of the user, the server receives and stores the forwarding behavior information, wherein the forwarding behavior information comprises forwarder information, forwardee information, information forwarding time, source chat session message information and destination chat session message information; the forwarder information is any one of the sharee information, and the forwarder information is at least one of contact information of the forwarder. And/or if the client acquires the access behavior information of the user, the server receives and stores the access behavior information, wherein the access behavior information comprises visitor information, access time and the chat session message information.

Corresponding to the above scheme for organizing resource websites into different categories, in the embodiment of the present invention, when performing propagation path tracking, the resource websites can also be organized into different categories according to the above method by using the design idea, and specifically, the propagation path tracking process is as follows:

the instant communication server analyzes and processes the sharing behavior information and the forwarding behavior information, takes an instant communication system user as a node, takes the pointing relationships of a sharer, a sharee, a forwarder and a forwarder corresponding to the sharing and forwarding operations as paths, and deduces a user propagation diagram of the same sharing website based on a step-by-step forwarding relationship; and taking the conversation as an access node, forwarding the source chat conversation message information and the target chat conversation message information in the behavior information record, and deriving a conversation propagation diagram of the same shared website.

In addition, the instant messaging server can further aggregate larger-scale user propagation diagrams and session propagation diagrams according to the shared websites, the resource websites, the original resource websites, the classification labels and the like layer by layer.

Taking a group event as an example, defining a group event classification label, and marking the label from an original resource website, to a resource website, and then to a sharing website, so as to obtain a user propagation diagram and a session propagation diagram from the sharing website, to the resource website, to the original resource website, and to each level of the group event classification label, and combining statistics of incidence relation and amount of propagation data, session data and access data, so as to master the propagation track, initial propagation personnel, backbone propagation personnel and hot spot area of the group event in the instant messaging system, thereby effectively managing the group event and ensuring public safety.
