The present invention relates to the field of the mobile community network service, and in particular, to a method and apparatus for implementing community federation.
The social network (SN) is a kind of network address book application based on a plurality of views. The current social network has a relatively strong pertinence, and represents the professional characteristic, that is, the kinds of industry related to the SN of a certain type are very accurate, and as a result, there are a great deal of SNs of different types. It causes that the user needs to register in different SNs, and there is the user personal information in each SN. Because the types of SNs are different, the emphasis of the user personal information is different to some extent, and there is no intercommunication channel among different SNs, that is, there is a “garden wall” among the so-called SNs. The “garden wall” not only blocks the user's personal information, but also blocks the intercommunication of the information and friend list of the user in every SN. The user has to perform handover among a plurality of SNs, so as to continuously send or receive the information, or to communicate with friends in each SN. This way, it increases extra workload invisibly, and causes very great inconvenience. This kind of inconvenience can be accepted by the user just when using on the PC perhaps because of the factors such as screen, keyboard, operation, etc., but for the mobile community network, the user mostly uses the service on the mobile equipment, because the hardware condition of the mobile equipment is relatively simple, so it will be very inconvenient for the user to handover repeatedly among a plurality of SNs. In conclusion, the problem urgent to be solved is to eliminate the “garden wall” among the communities as much as possible and let the user to use the SN service conveniently.

The method and apparatus for implementing community federation provided by the present invention establishes community federation containing information of a plurality of social networks (SN) of a user on a device and configures a processing policy of the community federation; and after logging on the community federation, the community federation manages a message according to the processing policy. It guarantees that the content data obtain sufficient sharing in the community federation, eliminates the “garden wall” among the communities, and enables the user personal information, the message content, the friend information, etc., to flow better and faster, and improves the user experience in the service application.
The basic idea of the present invention is: establishing community federation containing information of a plurality of social networks (SN) of a user on a device, and configuring a processing policy of the community federation; and after logging on the community federation, the community federation managing a message according to the processing policy.
The technical scheme of the present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments hereinafter.
in step 101, establishing community federation containing information of a plurality of social networks (SN) of a user on a device, and configuring a processing policy of the community federation;
specifically, the device includes: a terminal of the user or a server at a network side. The information of a plurality of SNs of the user at least includes: account, password and community address of the user registered in each SN, and also further can include the identification information, such as permission, etc.
In step 102, after logging on the community federation, the community federation manages the message according to the processing policy.
Specifically, the information used by logging on the community federation can be set again by the user, and also can adopt the logging information of one SN in a plurality of SNs. In the process of logging, it also needs to depend on the logging strategy. The community federation manages the message according to the processing policy, including:
when there is a new message reaches the SN in the community federation, according to the process strategy for receiving and sending the message in the community federation, sending the message to a window of the current activated SN and promoting the user that there is a new message reaching, or only sending a notification message to notify the user to search in the SN that the new message reaches or sending the notification message to all communities in the community federation;
wherein, the new message reaching the SN in the community federation can be from a certain SN in the community federation, and can also be a message out of the community federation. All SNs sent to the community federation, for example: one SN receives a new comment message, the community federation can send the comment message to all SNs in the community federation, and shares with the friend in each SN.
When the user sends the new message, according to the processing policy for receiving and sending the message in the community federation, the new message is sent to a selected SN or all SNs;
when the community federation receives a message to modify the SN configuration, according to the processing policy for configuring message in the community federation, relevant configuration of an appointed SN or all SNs in the community federation is modified;
wherein, the modifying relevant configuration includes: deleting the community federation, or deleting or adding an SN in the community federation, or deleting or adding a friend in the SN, or modifying information of the friends in batches, or filtering policies according to the setting of friends or messages, etc.
When the community federation receives a message to modify logging configuration of the community federation, the logging policy in the community federation is modified, and when logging on again, the SN in the community federation is logged on according to the modified logging policy.
the policy information storage module 61 is used to store information of a plurality of social networks (SN) of a user and a configured processing policy;
specifically, the device includes: a terminal of the user or a server at a network side. The information of a plurality of SNs of the user at least includes: account, password and community address of the user registered in each community; and further can alternatively include: the identification information such as the permission. The processing policy includes: a processing policy for receiving and sending the message, a processing policy for configuring message and a logging policy.
The community federation management module 62 is used to manage a message according to the processing policy after logging on the community federation.
Specifically, the information used by logging on the community federation can be set again by the user, and can also adopt the logging information of one SN in a plurality of SNs. In the process of logging, it also needs to depend on the logging policy. The community federation management module 62 manages the message according to the processing policy, including:
when a new message reaches, according to the processing policy for receiving and sending the message, sending the message to a window of the current activated SN and prompting the user that a new message reaches, or only sending a notification message, to notify the user to search in the SN that the new message reaches or sending to all communities in the community federation;
wherein, the reached new message can be from a certain SN in the community federation, and can also be the message out of the community federation. All SNs sent to the community federation, for example: one SN receives new comment message, the community federation can send the comment message to all SNs in the community federation, and shares with the friends in each SN.
When the user sends the new message, according to the processing policy for receiving and sending the message, the new message is sent to a selected SN or all SNs;
when receiving a message to modify the SN configuration, according to the processing policy for configuring message, relevant configuration of an appointed SN or all SNs in the community federation is modified,
wherein, the modifying relevant configuration comprises: deleting the community federation, or deleting or adding an SN in the community federation, or deleting or adding a friend in the SN, or modifying information of the friends in batches, or filtering policies according to the configuration of friends or messages, etc.
When receiving a message to modify logging configuration of the community federation, the logging policy in the community federation is modified, and when logging on again, the SN in the community federation is logged on according to the modified logging policy.
The above description is only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
