DETAILED DESCRIPTION

For clearer descriptions of the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure, embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings.



FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a system for publishing a post according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the system 100 includes a server 101 and a plurality of terminals 102, and each terminal 102 communicates with the server 101 in a wireless or wired manner.


Each terminal 102 may send a publish request to the server 101, such that the server 101 publishes a post of the terminal 102 based on the publish request. The server 101 publishing the post of the terminal 102 based on the publish request is introduced in the following embodiments.


In this embodiment, the terminal 102 may be a device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, or the like. FIG. 1 only takes a mobile phone as an example for explanation, which does not constitute a limitation to this embodiment.



FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a method for publishing a post according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method is applied to the server shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes the following steps.


In step 201, a plurality of posts published within a first duration are acquired, wherein the first duration is a time duration before current time and closest to the current time.


In this embodiment, in order to improve the flexibility in publishing posts, the server may publish, based on location information, a post related to a topic, such that a user located in a delimited area corresponding to the topic may publish the post related to the topic. Therefore, before publishing the post related to the topic, the server needs to determine a topic to be initiated and a delimited area corresponding to the topic. The delimited area includes a geographic location range of the terminal allowed to publish the post related to the topic.


In another embodiment, if the quantity of posts published by the terminal in a certain area within a short period time exceeds a certain quantity, the terminal currently in the certain area is relatively active, and at this time, the server may determine the topic to be initiated and the delimited area corresponding to the topic by steps 201 to 203.


The first duration is a set duration, which may be 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 1 hour, or the like. For example, when the first duration is 10 minutes, what the server acquires at this time is posts published in the last 10 minutes.


In addition, the server may acquire the plurality of posts published within the first duration periodically, wherein the first duration is a time duration before current time and closest to the current time. That is, in this embodiment, the server may periodically determine the topic to be initiated and the delimited area corresponding to the topic by steps 201 to 203. For example, the server may determine the topic to be initiated and the delimited area corresponding to the topic every one hour, and then publish a post based on the determined topic and delimited area by the following steps 204 to 206.


In step 202, location information of a terminal for publishing each of the plurality of posts are acquired to obtain a plurality of pieces of location information, wherein the plurality of pieces of location information are in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of posts.


In this embodiment, the server publishes, based on the location information, the post related to the topic. Therefore, when sending the post to be published to the server, the terminal also reports its own location information to the server, and the server receives the reported location information and stores the location information of the terminal, such that the server may perform the next operation based on the location information of the terminal. Based on this precondition, when acquiring the plurality of posts, the server may acquire, based on the stored location information, the location information of the terminal of each of the plurality of posts.


The terminal may report the location information to the server in the following way: the terminal acquires its own location information by means of its own location-based service (LBS) function, and reports the acquired location information to the server. Certainly, the terminal may also acquire its own location information in other ways, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment. In addition, the location information of the terminal is configured to describe a location where the terminal is located when publishing the post. Specifically, the location information of the terminal may be longitude and latitude data of the location where the terminal is located when publishing the post.


In step 203, a topic and a delimited area corresponding to the topic are determined based on the plurality of posts and the plurality of pieces of location information, wherein the delimited area includes a geographic location range of a terminal allowed to publish a post related to the topic.


In a possible embodiment, step 203 may specifically include: acquiring a plurality of location information sets by clustering the plurality of pieces of location information; determining, based on location information contained in each of the plurality of location information sets, a coverage area of each of the plurality of location information sets and a diameter of the coverage area of each of the plurality of location information sets; searching for a target location information set from the plurality of location information sets, wherein the quantity of location information contained in the target location information set is greater than a reference quantity, and a diameter of the coverage area of the target location information set is smaller than a reference diameter; determining the topic based on posts corresponding to the location information in the target location information set; and determining, based on the coverage area of the target location information set, the delimited area corresponding to the topic.


When there is one location information set in the plurality of location information sets that meets such conditions: the quantity of the location information included is greater than the reference quantity, and the diameter of the coverage area is smaller than the reference diameter, indicating that the terminal in the area corresponding to the location information set is relatively active at the current time. At this time, the location information set may be determined as the target location information set.


The reference quantity and the reference diameter are both set values. For example, the reference quantity may be 1,000, 1,500, or the like, and the reference diameter may be 200 meters, 300 meters, or the like. When the first duration is 10 minutes, the reference quantity is 1,000, and the reference diameter is 200 meters, the diameter of the area corresponding to the target location information set is less than 200 meters, and the terminal in the area corresponding to the target location information set publishes more than 1,000 posts within 10 minutes. At this time, the server may initiate a topic.


In addition, the plurality of pieces of location information may be clustered to acquire the plurality of location information sets using a K-means clustering algorithm, a hierarchical clustering algorithm, a density-based clustering algorithm, or the like, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.


Furthermore, the server may determine the topic based on the post corresponding to the location information in the target location information set in the following way: keyword identification is performed on the post corresponding to each piece of location information in the target location information set to acquire a plurality of keywords, and the topic is determined based on the keyword most likely to occur in the plurality of keywords. Optionally, after the server determines the target location information set, a background operator may also manually designate a topic based on the post corresponding to each piece of location information in the target location information set.


Furthermore, the server may determine, based on the coverage area of the target location information set, the delimited area corresponding to the topic in the following way: the server may directly use the coverage area of the target location information set as the delimited area corresponding to the topic. Certainly, the server may also determine the area corresponding to the circumcircle of the coverage area of the target location information set as the delimited area corresponding to the topic. Optionally, the background operator may also manually designate, based on the coverage area of the target location information set, the delimited area corresponding to the topic, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.


The above steps 201 to 203 are one implementation of determining the topic to be initiated and the delimited area corresponding to the topic according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. Optionally, in the embodiment of the present disclose, the background operator may also directly designate the topic to be initiated and the delimited area corresponding to the topic, which is not described in detail herein. For example, if XX University initiates a campus singer contest, a topic to be initiated “Campus Singer Contest” may be directly designated by the background operator at this time, and the delimited area of this topic is “XX University.” After the server determines the topic and the delimited area corresponding to the topic, students in this university may upload their own singing videos to the server by the following steps 204 to 206 to take part in the contest by publishing posts.


After determining the topic to be initiated and the delimited area corresponding to the topic, the server may publish the topic to each terminal, such that each terminal publishes a post based on the topic by the following steps 204 to 206. For example, after determining the topic to be initiated, the server may display a page area corresponding to the topic on a display interface of each terminal, and the post subsequently published by any terminal by the following steps 204 to 206 may be displayed in the page area corresponding on the topic.


In step 204, a first publish request from a first terminal is received, wherein the first publish request carries a post to be published and location information of the first terminal.


After determining the topic to be initiated and the delimited area corresponding to the topic, if the server receives the first publish request from the first terminal, the server may process the first publish request based on the determined topic and the delimited area corresponding to the topic, so as to publish the post based on the location information. The first terminal is any terminal.


When the server receives the first publish request from the first terminal, as the determined topic has a corresponding delimited area, the server needs to first determine, based on the location information of the first terminal, whether the first terminal is located in the delimited area. If the first terminal is located in the delimited area, the server publishes the post carried in the first publish request by the following steps 205 and 206, such that the first terminal and other terminals display the post carried in the first publish request in the page area corresponding to the topic. If the first terminal is not located in the delimited area, the server may publish the post carried in the first publish request in other ways. For example, the post carried in the first publish request is published in other areas not related to the topic.


When the delimited area is described by means of a latitude and longitude range, the server may determine, based on the location information of the first terminal, whether the first terminal is located in the delimited area in the following way: the longitude and the latitude at the location of the first terminal are determined based on the location information of the first terminal; if the longitude at the location of the first terminal falls within the longitude range corresponding to the delimited area, and the latitude at the location of the first terminal falls within the latitude range corresponding to the delimited area, it is determined that the first terminal is located in the delimited area. Certainly, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, whether the first terminal is located in the delimited area may be determined in other ways, for example, identification by a background operator, which is not described in detail herein.


In step 205, the topic corresponding to the delimited area is acquired in response to determining, based on the location information of the first terminal, that the first terminal is positioned in the delimited area.


It can be known from step 203 that the delimited area corresponds to one topic. Therefore, when it is determined that the first terminal is located in the delimited area based on the location information of the first terminal, the topic corresponding to the delimited area needs to be acquired to publish, according to following step 206, the post carried in the first publish request.


For example, the topic determined in step 203 is “XX Concert” and the delimited area corresponding to the topic is “XX City.” At this time, if it is determined according to step 205 that the first terminal is located in XX City, the topic at this time may be acquired as “XX Concert.”


In step 206, the post carried in the first publish request is published based on the topic, such that the first terminal and other terminals display the post carried in the first publish request in a page area corresponding to the topic.


In this embodiment of the present disclosure, after initiating the topic, the server may directly publish, based on the topic, the post carried in the first publish request when receiving the first publish request. After the server initiates the topic, the display interface of each terminal displays the page area for the topic. Therefore, after the server publishes, based on the topic, the post carried in the first publish request, the first terminal and other terminals display the post carried in the first publish request in the page area corresponding to the topic.


Optionally, after initiating the topic, the server may receive a lot of posts with similar contents to be published at the same time. At this time, in order to avoid that most of the posts viewed by the audience are the same, the server may filter the post carried in the first publish request and other recently received posts to be published, and publish the post carried in the first publish request after filtration, so as to improve the audience's experience in viewing the posts published by the server.


Therefore, in one implementation, step 205 may specifically include: acquiring a plurality of second publish requests whose difference between receiving time and the current time is smaller than a second duration, wherein a post carried in each of the plurality of second publish requests is not published, and each second publish request further carries location information; searching for, based on the plurality of acquired second publish requests, a second publish request carrying the location information consistent with the location information carried in the first publish request; and publishing the post carried in the first publish request if a similarity between the post carried in the found second publish request and the post carried in the first publish request is greater than a first threshold, and a similarity between the post carried in the first publish request and a configured message is greater than a similarity between the post carried in the found second publish request and the configured message, wherein the configured message is indicative of the topic.


The second duration is a preset duration, which may be 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, or the like. When the second duration is 3 seconds, the plurality of second publish requests is determined based on other published requests received by the server within 3 seconds before or after receiving the first publish request.


For any second publish request in the plurality of second publish requests, if the location information carried in the second publish request is consistent with the location information carried in the first publish request, the terminal sending the second publish request and the terminal sending the first publish request are located in the same place, and at this time, the post carried in the first publish request and the post carried in the second publish request are likely to be the same. Therefore, the server needs to first search for a second publish request carrying the location information consistent with the location information carried in the first publish request, and then to select one publish request from the found second publish request and the first publish request for processing.


Further, if the terminal sending the second publish request and the terminal sending the first publish request are located in the same place, the post carried in the first publish request and the post carried in the second publish request are likely to be different. Therefore, when selecting one publish request from the found second publish request and the first publish request, the server needs to consider the similarity between the post carried in the found second publish request and the post carried in the first publish request. One publish request is selected from the found second publish request and the first publish request for processing only when the post carried in the found second publish request is similar to the post carried in the first publish request.


In addition, as the delimited area is an area corresponding to one topic, when selecting one publish request from the found second publish request and the first publish request, the server also needs to consider the similarity between the post carried in each publish request and a configured message. The configured message is a preset message being indicative of the topic. For example, if the topic is “XX concert,” text information in the configured message may be “XX concert,” and image information in the configured message may be such information as posters of the concert.


In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the similarity between the post carried in the found second publish request and the post carried in the first publish request is greater than the first threshold, and the similarity between the post carried in the first publish request and the configured message is greater than the similarity between the post carried in the found second publish request and the configured message, the server no longer publishes the post carried in the found second publish request after publishing the post carried in the first publish request.


If the similarity between the post carried in the found second publish request and the post carried in the first publish request is greater than the first threshold, but the similarity between the post carried in the first publish request and the configured message is less than or equal to the similarity between the post carried in the found second publish request and the configured message, at this time, the post carried in the second publish request is published, and the post carried in the first publish request is no longer published.


Moreover, if the similarity between the post carried in the found second publish request and the post carried in the first publish request is less than or equal to the first threshold, the post carried in the second publish request is processed in the way of publishing the post carried in the first publish request.


The server may determine the similarity between the post carried in the first publish request and the configured message, or the similarity between the post carried in the first publish request and the post carried in the second publish request by means of artificial intelligence (AI) recognition, which is not described in detail herein.


Optionally, the post carried in the first publish request may be a useless post, or a post prohibited from being published. Therefore, before acquiring the plurality of second publish requests whose difference between the receiving time and the current time is less than the second duration, the server may review the post carried in the first publish request. If the post passes the review, the received publish request is filtered according to the above method. If the post does not pass the review, it is unnecessary to process the first publish request as described above. That is, the post carried in the first publish request is no longer published.


The server reviews the post carried in the first publishing request by the following steps: reviewing the post carried in the first publish request, and if the post carried in the first publish request meets a review condition, acquiring the plurality of second publish requests whose difference between the receiving time and the current time is smaller than the second duration.


The review condition includes at least one of: a duration of a video contained in the post carried in the first publish request being greater than a third duration, a resolution of the video contained in the post carried in the first publish request being higher than a reference resolution, a similarity between each video frame in the video contained in the post carried in the first publish request and a reference image being smaller than a second threshold, and a similarity between a text contained in the post carried in the first publish request and a reference text being smaller than a third threshold, wherein the reference image includes an image prohibited from being published, and the reference text includes a text prohibited from being published.


Through the above review condition, it can be ensured that the duration of the video carried in the post published by the server is not too short and that the resolution of the video in the published post is relatively high, or it can be ensured that the video in the published post is not an illegal video or that paperwork in the published post is not illegal paperwork.


The aforementioned third duration is a set duration. For example, the third duration may be 3 seconds, indicating that if the duration of the video in the post carried in the first publish request is less than 3 seconds, the server may not publish the post carried in the first publish request.


Optionally, after the server processes the post carried in the first publish request as described above, the background operator may continue to review the post carried in the first publish request. When the background operator also determines that the post carried in the first publish request passes the review, the server publishes the post carried in the first publish request to perform double review on the post carried in the first publish request. Through manual review, the server may further filter out posts inconsistent with the topic, and/or posts whose contents are not attractive enough.


The background operator may continue to review the post carried in the first publish request in the following way: the server sends review prompt information to a background terminal, wherein the review prompt information carries the post carried in the first publish request; and publishes the post carried in the first publish request in response to receiving an acknowledgement from the background terminal. The acknowledgement from the background terminal may be triggered by the background operator via a preset operation, and the preset operation may be a click operation, a voice operation, a sliding operation, or the like.


In addition, after the server initiates the topic by the above steps 201 to 203, a validity period may be set for the topic. At this time, the server also needs to acquire the validity period of the topic when determining that the first terminal is located in the delimited area. If the receiving time of the first publish request falls within the validity period, the post carried in the first publish request is published based on the topic.


The validity period is a set time period, and the duration of the validity period may be one day, one week, one month, or the like. In addition, the validity period starts at the time when the server initiates the topic.


By the above steps 204 to 206, the server may sequentially publish, in the order of publishing time, the posts related to the topic in the delimited area in the page area corresponding to the topic, such that all users may directly view the post related to the topic in the page area, improving the flexibility in publishing posts.


For example, after initiating the topic “XX Concert,” the server may display, in the page area corresponding to the topic, related posts of “XX Concert” associated with the topic in the page area in a listing fashion. When the user clicks on the page area, a terminal corresponding to the user may continuously play a plurality of posts in the page area. If the post includes a video, the user watches a plurality of continuously played small videos. That is, after one video is played, the next video is automatically loaded and played seamlessly, achieving a similar effect that one video includes a plurality of small videos. Besides, the user may quickly switch front and back video clips by tapping the screen.


Furthermore, after the server publishes, based on the topic, the post carried in the first publish request, other terminals may view and comment on the post carried in the first publish request to attract more users to publish posts. Other terminals may view and comment on the post carried in the first publish request in the following way: the server receives a request, from a second terminal, for viewing the post carried in the first publish request; and the post carried in the first publish request and comment options for the post carried in the first publish request are pushed to the second terminal, such that the second terminal displays the post carried in the first publish request and the comment options for the post carried in the first publish request. In this embodiment of the present disclose, the comment options may include a comment posting option, a like option and the like.


The location information of the second terminal is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. That is, after publishing the post carried in the first publish request, terminals that are not in the delimited area may also view the post carried in the first publish request, so as to attract more users to watch a live show in the position where the delimited area is located. For example, XX district of XX city recently held a light show, and users who went to the light show may publish posts, at this time, the server may initiate the topic “light show” by the steps 201 to 203, and the topic corresponding to the delimited area is “XX District of XX City.” At this time, users going to XX district of XX city to participate in the light show may publish posts in a page area corresponding to the topic, while other users not in this area may view spot news via the page area corresponding to the topic to attract more users to go to watch the light show on the spot.


Moreover, after the server initiates the topic, a link corresponding to the topic may also be shared on other applications or web pages, such that outside users may continue to view the posts in the topic by downloading the product. Thus, many people co-create topic contents to attract users to download and use the product based on a geographical location.


According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, in response to receiving the first publish request from the first terminal, it is necessary to first determine, based on location information of the first terminal, whether the first terminal is positioned in the delimited area, and a post carried in the first publish request can be published based on the topic only when the first terminal is positioned in the delimited area. That is, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for publishing a topic-related post based on the location information, which improves the flexibility in publishing posts.
