The present application is proposed based on a Chinese patent application with the application number of 202011507342.4 and the application date of Dec. 18, 2020 and titled “COMMUNICATION METHOD, CLIENT, SERVER CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM”, and claims the priority of the Chinese patent application, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to the field of computer technology, in particular to a communication method, a client, a server control method, and a storage medium.
Communication clients, such as instant messaging clients, are used to communicate with other communication software. During communication, symbols such as expressions and pictures are sometimes sent to express user's meanings. These symbols can enrich ways of expression and increase fun.
The present application provides a communication method, client, server control method, and storage medium.
The present application adopts the following technical solution.
Some embodiments of the disclosure provide a communication method, comprising:
Some embodiments of the disclosure provide a communication method, comprising: receiving a first symbol sent by a first client;
Some embodiments of the disclosure provide a control method for a server, comprising:
Some embodiments of the disclosure provide a communication client, comprising: an input unit, configured to determine an input first symbol;
Some embodiments of the disclosure provide a communication client, comprising:
Some embodiments of the disclosure provide a server, comprising:
Some embodiments of the disclosure provide an electronic device, comprising: at least one memory and at least one processor;
Some embodiments of the disclosure provide a storage medium storing program code for performing the method above.
A communication method provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure includes: determining a first symbol based on input of a first client; and sending the first symbol to a second client to instruct the second client to display a second symbol having a same implication as the first symbol; or determining a second symbol according to the first symbol and regional information of a second client, and sending the second symbol to the second client, where the first symbol and the second symbol are different symbols and have the same implication. The second client displays the second symbol that is different from the first symbol but has the same implication as the first symbol, which may avoid misunderstandings caused by usage habits and other reasons. Moreover, because the first symbol is based on the input of the first client and the second symbol is displayed by the second client, users of the two clients may operate or view the symbols that they easily understand, without changing their own usage habits to adapt to others' usage habits. Therefore, communication is more convenient and efficient.

Communication clients, such as instant messaging clients, are used to communicate with other similar communication clients. During communication, symbols such as expressions and pictures may be sent to increase fun of communication and enrich ways of communication. However, some symbols may have different meanings in different regions, sometimes leading to misunderstandings. For example, gesture OK indicates consent in some regions, but is misunderstood as other meanings in other regions. In some regions, nodding indicates yes, shaking the head indicates no, while the opposite is true in other regions. In this case, sending expressions may cause communication errors and misunderstandings of meanings.
A communication method is provided in the present disclosure, as shown in
S11: Determine a first symbol based on input of a first client.
In some embodiments, a user may input the first symbol in an input box of the first client, or select the first symbol from optional symbols provided by the first client, and the input first symbol may be displayed on a communication interface of the first client. The first symbol may be, for example, an expression, or a graphical reply identifier about likes, love, and the like for information such as text, a document, and a video.
S12: Send the first symbol to a second client to instruct the second client to display a second symbol having a same implication as the first symbol.
In some embodiments, the first client is in communication connection with the second client. The first client sends the first symbol to the second client after determining the first symbol. The first client may directly send the first symbol to the second client or send the first symbol to a server, and the server forwards the first symbol to the second client.
In other embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to
S11: Determine a first symbol based on input of a first client.
S13: Determine a second symbol according to the first symbol and regional information of a second client, and send the second symbol to the second client.
In some embodiments, the regional information may include various forms of information. In some embodiments, the regional information includes information that can identify usage habits related to a region, the regional information of a client may be information related to a physical address location of the client, and the regional information of a client may alternatively be registration place information of the client or registration place information of an authorized user of the client. The regional information is not limited to these.
In some embodiments, the second client displays the second symbol that is different from the first symbol but has the same implication as the first symbol, which may avoid misunderstandings caused by usage habits and other reasons. Moreover, because the first symbol is based on the input of the first client and the second symbol is displayed by the second client, users of the two clients may operate or view the symbols that they easily understand without changing their own usage habits to adapt to others' usage habits, and do not need to perform additional operations to adapt to others when sending symbols. Therefore, the communication method is more convenient, efficient, and in line with user's usage habits. In some embodiments, different symbol packages may be used on the first client and the second client respectively. A first user inputs the first symbol through the first client, and after the second client receives the first symbol, the second symbol having the same implication as the first symbol is displayed from a symbol package used by the second client. The second symbol is a symbol that conforms to usage habits of a user of the second client, so that a second user using the second client can better understand the meaning of the first user to avoid misunderstandings.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first symbol is related to regional information of the first client. In some embodiments, the second symbol is related to the regional information of the second client. The regional information may include various forms of information. In some embodiments, the regional information includes regional information that can identify culture related to a region, the regional information of a client may be information related to a physical address location of the client, and the regional information of a client may alternatively be registration place information of the client or registration place information of an authorized user of the client. The regional information is not limited to these. In some embodiments, the same symbol has different implications in different places. For example, the meaning of nodding is yes in some regions and no in others. In some embodiments, the regional information of the first client reflects usage habits of a user of the first client, while the regional information of the second client reflects usage habits of a user of the second client. Defining the correlation between the first symbol and the regional information of the first client and the correlation between the second symbol and the regional information of the second client may ensure that the implications of the first symbol and the second symbol conform to users' relevant usage habits. After the first client inputs the first symbol, symbol conversion may be performed according to a first symbol package used by the first client and a second symbol package used by the second client, so that the first symbol is converted into the second symbol having the same implication in the second symbol package, and the users can clearly and accurately understand the implications of the symbols.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the regional information of the first client is determined according to at least one of a version, a language, a location, authorized login user information, a network address, a content distribution network, and a user choice of the first client. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the regional information of the second client is determined according to at least one of a version, a language, a location, authorized login user information, a network address, a content distribution network, and a user choice of the second client. User's authorization for information such as location information and login user information may be obtained previously in various ways, and then the information is used within an authorized scope, for example, to determine regional information related to a symbol.
In some embodiments, there may be many methods for determining regional information. The regional information of the second client may be determined through a version of the client. Generally, a user uses a client in his own country, and the version of the client may reflect user's regional information, thereby determining usage habits related to the regional information; for the user, the downloaded version of the client is generally a version that is used habitually and matches his usage habits; when the user goes abroad or changes his geographical location, he usually does not change the version of the client he is using; and consequently, determining the regional information based on the version of the client may avoid a problem of mismatch between the second symbol and usage habits when the user goes abroad or changes his geographical location. In some embodiments, the regional information of the client may alternatively be determined according to a language of the client, which is usually user's native language and can reflect a language family of the client user. In some embodiments, the regional information of the client may be determined according to location information of the client, and the location information of the client may determine a location of the client. In some embodiments, the location of the second client may be determined according to a content distribution network of the client, where the content distribution network usually covers only nearby areas and can locate an approximate range of the client. In some embodiments, data in the client are processed by a node server of the content distribution network during actual use; when the client is used, the corresponding content distribution network and the corresponding node server need to be determined, while the regional information of the client is determined, so additional operations are not required; and determining the regional information through the content distribution network may be directly based on a location of the node server, without obtaining privacy information of the client, which is conducive to protecting privacy. In some embodiments, the regional information of the client is determined according to login user information authorized by the second client, where the login user information can reflect symbols that the user is accustomed to using, thereby ensuring that the second symbol conforms to the usage habits of the user. In some embodiments, the location of the second client is determined according to a network address (such as an IP address) of the second client. In some embodiments, the regional information is determined according to a user choice, and the regional information chosen by the user is usually a region that the user is familiar with, thereby ensuring that the user can understand the implication of the second symbol determined according to the regional information.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first symbol and/or the second symbol include symbol content, or symbol content and a symbol format, and at least one of the symbol content and symbol formats of the first symbol and the second symbol is different. In some embodiments, the symbol content may be content of an expression or picture displayed by the symbol, and the symbol format may be a display style or layout of the symbol. In some cases, users from different regions may have different understandings of the implication of the same symbol, the symbol content of the first symbol and the symbol content of the second symbol may be different, and changing the symbol content ensures that information content is correctly conveyed. In some embodiments, the users of the first client and the second client may discuss the symbol sent by the user of the first client during communication. If the difference between the first symbol and the second symbol is small, communication disorders occurring during communication may be avoided. Therefore, when the second symbol is determined, a symbol that is most similar to the first symbol is selected, that is, only necessary parts of the first symbol are modified, so that the generated second symbol is as similar to the first symbol as possible while correctly expressing the implication, to ensure smooth communication between the users.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the symbol content includes at least one of an expression, a skin, a graphic identifier, and a picture. In some embodiments, the symbol format includes arrangement of different parts of a timestamp. In some embodiments, the skin may be the skin of the expression, such as a color or font used for the expression; the graphic identifier may be a like symbol for liking communication information, a consent symbol for expressing consent on communication information, or the like; and the timestamp may be a representation of time, such as in some regions, the date is usually abbreviated in a form of year, month, and day, while in other regions, the year is written last. If abbreviations are used during communication, such as abbreviating 2012 to 12, misunderstandings may be caused. In some embodiments, the first symbol and the second symbol may be symbols of the same type. For example, when the first symbol is an expression, the second symbol is also an expression. By keeping the types of the first symbol and the second symbol consistent, the user's meaning may be expressed more accurately. In some cases, the user may discuss the sent symbol. For example, after the user of the first client sends a picture, the sent picture may be discussed. If the picture sent by the user of the first client is changed to text, the user of the second client may not understand what is being discussed when the user discusses the picture, leading to communication problems. Therefore, defining the first symbol and the second symbol to the same type may reduce the communication problems.
In some embodiments, the first client uses a first symbol package including the first symbol; and the second client uses a second symbol package including the second symbol, where at least some symbols in the first symbol package and at least some symbols in the second symbol package are different but have the same implications. In some embodiments, the first symbol package and the second symbol package may be symbol packages used by the first client and the second client respectively. In this case, the implication of each symbol in the first symbol package and the second symbol package is definite and pre-knowable, the user of the first client is familiar with the first symbol package, and the user of the second client is familiar with the second symbol package. After the first client inputs the first symbol, symbol conversion may be performed according to the first symbol package used by the first client and the second symbol package used by the second client, so that the first symbol is converted into the second symbol having the same implication in the second symbol package. Using the first symbol package and the second symbol package can ensure that the first user has a correct understanding of the implication of the first symbol and the second user has a correct understanding of the implication of the second symbol, and ensure that the generated second symbol has the same implication as the first symbol, and that the second client may directly retrieve the second symbol locally when displaying the second symbol, without downloading the second symbol from a network, thereby reducing traffic consumption and improving response speed.
In some embodiments, after the first client sends the first symbol, the first client receives the second symbol, thereby displaying both the first symbol and the second symbol that matches the first symbol. In this way, the user of the first client may know what the second symbol that expresses the implication of the first symbol is for the user of the second client, which may help the user of the first client increase awareness of different symbol meanings, so that the user may avoid communication disorders or errors caused by different symbols used in daily communication.
In some embodiments, the sending the first symbol to a second client includes: sending the first symbol to the second client, so that the second client determines and displays the second symbol according to the first symbol. In this embodiment, the second symbol is determined by the second client. The second client may determine an implication of the first symbol after receiving the first symbol, and determine the second symbol according to the implication of the first symbol, for example, determine the second symbol having the same implication as the first symbol from the second local symbol package of the second client. In some embodiments, a mapping relationship between each symbol and an implication of the symbol in the first symbol package used by the first client, and a mapping relationship between each symbol and an implication of the symbol in the second symbol package used by the second client, may be pre-stored in the second client. The second client determines the implication of the first symbol according to the pre-stored mapping relationship after receiving the first symbol, and then determines the second symbol having the same implication as the first symbol in the second symbol package according to the implication of the first symbol. In other embodiments, the first client stores a mapping relationship between the first symbol and the second symbol, and sends the second symbol to the second client after determining the second symbol. Because the user of the first client does not need to determine the second symbol, the burden on the user of the first client will not be increased. For the user of the second client, his usage habit does not need to be changed. Therefore, user experience is improved without any additional operations.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the sending the first symbol to a second client includes: sending the first symbol to a server, so that the server determines the second symbol having the same implication as the first symbol and sends the second symbol to the second client. In some embodiments, the server sends the second symbol to the second client after determining the second symbol. In this case, both the first client and the second client do not need to store the mapping relationship between each symbol and an implication of the symbol, thereby reducing requirements of the first client and the second client for storage space. In the case where the first client and the second client are software, volumes of installation packages for the first client and the second client may be reduced.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second symbol having the same implication as the first symbol is determined according to a mapping relationship between the first symbol and the second symbol that is established based on the implication. In some embodiments, the mapping relationship between each symbol and an implication of the symbol in the first symbol package used by the first client, and the mapping relationship between each symbol and an implication of the symbol in the second symbol package used by the second client may be pre-obtained from the server or the second client, and then a mapping relationship between symbols in the first symbol package and the second symbol package may be established. By establishing the mapping relationship between the first symbol and the second symbol based on the implication, the second symbol may be directly determined according to the first symbol, without determining the implication of the first symbol and then determining the second symbol according to the implication, thereby improving response speed and reducing occupied space. In some embodiments, the mapping relationship between the first symbol and the second symbol may be established in a form of a table, and the first symbol and the second symbol may be stored in a form of a key-value pair. For example, in a form of a database storing the first symbol, the first symbol is a main key, and the second symbol is a field of data in a row where the first symbol is located. Similarly, in a form where the second symbol is located, the second symbol is a main key, and the first symbol is a field of data in a row where the second symbol is located. In other embodiments, the corresponding relationship between the first symbol and the second symbol may alternatively be written in code. For example, an attribute representing the corresponding second symbol is added to a class of the first symbol, that is, the second symbol is set as an attribute of the first symbol in code. Similarly, the second symbol may alternatively be set as an attribute of the first symbol.
In some embodiments, the server or the second client may first determine the first symbol package used by the first client after receiving the first symbol, because different symbol packages may have the same symbol. If the implication is determined solely according to the first symbol, an error may be caused. Therefore, the second symbol having the same implication as the first symbol is determined after the first symbol package used by the first client is determined. In some embodiments, the first client may not only send the first symbol, but also send an identifier of the first symbol package corresponding to relevant regional information of the first client, thereby ensuring that the server and the second client do not misunderstand the implication of the first symbol.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second symbol package is a symbol package used by the second client. In some embodiments, after the first client inputs the first symbol, symbol conversion may be performed according to the first symbol package used by the first client and the second symbol package used by the second client, so that the first symbol is converted into the second symbol having the same implication in the second symbol package. Because the second symbol package is a symbol package used by the second client, the implication of the second symbol selected from the second symbol package conforms to the expression of the user of the second client, and there will be no situation where the user of the second client cannot understand. Moreover, the second symbol package used by the second client does not need to be downloaded from the network, which may save traffic and improve response speed.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a target symbol package is determined according to at least one of the version, content distribution network, login user information, network address, and language of the second client, and the symbol package used by the second client. In some embodiments, the symbol package used by the second client may not be known, or although the symbol package used by the second client is known, there is no symbol in the symbol package used by the second client that has the same implication as the first symbol. In this case, the target symbol package may need to be obtained from a network. In order to ensure that symbols in the target symbol package match expressions of the user of the second client, relevant information about the second client needs to be obtained. Therefore, relevant regional information may be determined through the version of the second client, the location of the second client may be determined according to the content distribution network of the second client, the usage habits of the user may be determined according to the authorized login user information of the second client, the location of the second client may be determined according to the network address (such as IP address) of the second client, and preferred symbols used by the user of the second client may be determined according to the language of the second client. Symbols that the user of the second client is accustomed to using can be predicted through the foregoing information, and then the second symbol package that conforms to the expression of the user of the second client can be determined. By obtaining the target symbol package (for example, downloading from a network), an appropriate second symbol can also be displayed when there is no symbol corresponding to the first symbol in the second client, and a problem of failing to display in the absence of the corresponding second symbol does not occur.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the sending the first symbol may include: sending the first symbol itself, and/or sending implication information of the first symbol. In some embodiments, the second symbol may also be sent together, for example, the first symbol itself and the second symbol, or the implication information of the first symbol and the second symbol, or the first symbol itself, the implication information of the first symbol, and the second symbol, may be sent. In some embodiments, the first client may send at least one of the implication information of the first symbol and the second symbol when sending the first symbol itself, so that the second client or the server may accurately determine the implication of the first symbol without misunderstanding the first symbol, thereby ensuring accurate determination of the second symbol. In some embodiments, the implication information of the first symbol may be sent in a form of text or code. When sent in the form of text, text corresponding to the implication information of the first symbol may be directly sent. When sent in the form of code, code corresponding to each piece of implication information may be pre-stored in the server or the second client, so that the server or the second client may convert the code into corresponding implication information. Sending the implication information in the form of code may save traffic and reduce sending duration.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the symbols may include expressions, and the communication method includes: receiving a first expression selected in an expression selection panel of the first client; and sending the first expression to the second client to instruct the second client to display a second expression, or determining a second expression according to a mapping relationship between the first expression and the second expression, and sending the second expression to the second client. In some embodiments, the first expression and the second expression are different expressions having the same implication. In some embodiments, the first symbol and the second symbol may be expressions. In some embodiments, the first client may provide one or more expressions for selection. The user of the first client selects the first expression to be sent from the expression selection panel of the first client, and then the first client, the server, or the second client determines the second expression according to the mapping relationship between the first expression and the second expression, and the second client displays the second expression. In some embodiments, many expressions are extended from local film and television works, so they usually have strong regional characteristics. It is difficult for people from different regions to understand the meanings of expressions commonly used by people from other regions, and misunderstandings are prone to occur. Moreover, expressions are usually pre-stored in the client, so corresponding relationships between different expressions may be known in advance, that is, the mapping relationship between the first expression and the second expression may be predetermined and stored, which increases data processing capacity little and does not reduce the response speed of the client.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the symbols may include pictures, and the communication method includes: receiving a first picture selected in a picture selection panel of the first client; and sending the first picture to the second client to instruct the second client to display a second picture, or determining a second picture according to a mapping relationship between the first picture and the second picture, and sending the second picture to the second client, where the first picture and the second picture are different pictures having the same implication. In some embodiments, the first symbol and the second symbol may be pictures. In some embodiments, many pictures are extracted from film and television works or local photographic materials. These pictures have strong regional characteristics and are prone to differences in user understanding of different regions. Therefore, the first picture needs to be converted. The second picture may be determined by the first client, the server, or the second client. The second picture may be determined according to the mapping relationship between the first picture and the second picture, and the second client displays the second picture. The entire process does not require any additional processing or modification of the picture by the user of the first client when sending the picture, nor requires the user of the first client to consider the usage habits of the user of the second client, and can avoid misunderstandings or difficulties in understanding caused by usage habits.
In some embodiments of the present application, the symbols may include arrangement of symbol elements, such as arrangement of time, and the communication method includes: determining first input time information; and sending the first time information to the second client to instruct the second client to display second time information, or determining second time information according to the first time information and the regional information of the second client, and sending the second time information to the second client, where the first time information and the second time information represent the same time and have different time formats. In some embodiments, the first symbol may include the first time information, and the second symbol may include the second time information. In some embodiments, the time formats used in different regions to represent time information may be different. The time format may be an arrangement order of year, month, and day. The time format may be converted by the first client, the second client, or the server. After the first time is converted, each digit in the first time does not change, but only the arrangement order of digits may be changed, so the processing capacity is small and the response time is fast.
In order to better illustrate the method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a specific embodiment is provided below. In this embodiment, symbols are expressions as an example, a first expression package is used in the first client, a second expression package is used in the second client, each expression in the first expression package has a corresponding implication, each expression in the second expression package has a corresponding implication, and the implications of each expression in the first expression package and each expression in the second expression package correspond one to one, but at least some expressions in the first expression package are different from at least some expressions in the second expression package. The first client sends the first expression in the first expression package to the server in which a mapping relationship between each expression and an implication of the expression in the first expression package and a mapping relationship between each expression and an implication of the expression in the first expression package are stored, the server determines the second corresponding expression, which is different from the first expression, in the second expression package according to the implication of the first expression and then sends the second expression to the second client, and the second client receives and displays the second expression. The first expression is replaced with the second expression to avoid user misunderstandings, and the server performs expression conversion to reduce sizes of the clients.
Other embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a communication method, which may be used for a second client. Refer to
S21: Receive a first symbol sent by a first client.
S22: Determine a second symbol having a same implication as the first symbol, and display the second symbol.
In this embodiment, the first symbol and the second symbol are different symbols, and have the same implication. In some embodiments, the receiving a first symbol sent by a first client includes receiving the first symbol itself, and/or receiving implication information of the first symbol, where the implication information of the first symbol may be the implication information in any of the above embodiments, and the explanation of the implication information in the above embodiments is also applicable to this embodiment. The first client in this embodiment may be the first client in any of the foregoing embodiments, the method in this embodiment may be used for the second client, and the second client in this embodiment may be the second client in any of the foregoing embodiments. In some embodiments, the first client and the second client are in direct or indirect communication connection. After receiving the first symbol sent by the first client, the second client displays the second symbol having the same implication as the first symbol. The second symbol may be a symbol that adapts to the second client. Through the method in the embodiment of the present disclosure, misunderstandings or discomforts caused by usage habits may be avoided, the usage habits of users of the first client and the second client will not be changed, and the users do not need to perform any additional operations, so the method is more efficient and convenient.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second symbol is determined from a second symbol package used by the second client. In some embodiments, the second symbol package includes at least one symbol. The second symbol package is a symbol package used by the user of the second client, and therefore conforms to the usage habits of the user of the second client. Selecting the second symbol from the second symbol package of the second client can ensure that the second symbol conforms to the usage habits of the user of the second client.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a target symbol package is determined according to at least one of a version, a content distribution network, authorized login user information, a network address, and a language of the second client, and a symbol package used by the second client, and the second symbol is determined from the target symbol package. In some embodiments, symbols used by the second client may not match the first symbol. In other cases, the symbols used by the second client cannot be obtained. In order to determine the second symbol corresponding to relevant regional information of the second client, the relevant regional information of the second client needs to be determined. The relevant regional information of the second client may be determined from the version, content distribution network, login user information, network address, or language of the second client. Therefore, at least one of the foregoing information is obtained to determine the target symbol package that adapts to the relevant regional information of the second client, and the second symbol is obtained from the target symbol package, to prevent a problem of failing to display in the absence of an appropriate second symbol on the second client.
Other embodiments of the present disclosure provide a control method for a server, as shown in
S32: Determine a second symbol having a same implication as the first symbol.
S33: Send the second symbol to a second client, so that the second client displays the second symbol.
In some embodiments, the first symbol and the second symbol are different symbols and have the same implication. In some embodiments, the receiving a first symbol includes receiving the first symbol itself, and/or receiving implication information of the first symbol. The implication information of the first symbol may be the implication information explained in any of the above embodiments, and the explanation of the implication information of the first symbol in any of the above embodiments also applies to this embodiment. In some embodiments, the first client and the second client may be the first client and the second client in any of the above embodiments. The server is in communication connection with the first client and the second client. After receiving the first symbol sent by the first client, the server sends the second symbol having the same implication as the first symbol to the second client, where the second symbol may be a symbol that matches the usage habit of a user of the second client, thereby avoiding misunderstandings caused by usage habits.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the second symbol is determined from a second symbol package used by the second client. In some embodiments, the server may pre-store a corresponding relationship between each symbol and implication in the second symbol package used by the second client. After receiving the first symbol, the server determines the second symbol from the second symbol package according to the implication of the first symbol. Symbols and implications may be arbitrarily stored in the server, for example, symbols and corresponding implications are stored in a form of key-value pairs, with symbols as keys and corresponding implications as values.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a target symbol package is determined according to at least one of a version, a content distribution network, authorized login user information, a network address, and a language of the second client, and a symbol package used by the second client, and the second symbol is determined from the target symbol package. In some embodiments, the second client may not have a symbol that matches the implication of the first symbol, or the server may not record the second symbol package used by the second client. The server determines usage habits corresponding to relevant regional information of the second client according to at least one piece of the foregoing information, thereby obtaining the target symbol package that matches the usage habits corresponding to the relevant regional information of the second client.
