The present disclosure relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method, a device and a system for content sharing and propagation.
Web 2.0 is also referred to as Internet 2.0, and represents a new era of network application, in which the network becomes a new platform, content is generated due to participation of each user, and personal content generated due to the participation forms a world of Web 2.0 through sharing among people.
Technologies of Web 2.0 mainly include: a blog (BLOG), an RSS (Really Simple Syndication, aggregation content, a simple manner of sharing content on line), an encyclopedia (Wiki), a social network (SNS), P2P and instant messaging (IM).
When a user accesses Internet content through a browser, finds content (for example, articles, pictures, and videos) the user is interested in, and wants to share the content with friends, a method for implementing content sharing in a first solution in the prior art is as follows: the user saves the content locally, and then notifies the friends of the saved specific URL link or specific content by means of such as a short message, a multimedia message, an Email, or printing.
The sharing method in the first solution in the prior art at least has the following disadvantages:
1. The user needs to actively use other methods (for example, by means such as a short message, a multimedia message, an Email, or printing), and many operations are required.
2. Most of mobile terminal browsers used by a user do not support paste and copy functions, resulting in inconvenience in operation.
3. The content required to be shared, such as a picture or a long paragraph of text, cannot be shared due to limitations of message sending technology of a mobile terminal and text quantity; and if the content required to be shared such as an audio and a video is shared through a multimedia message, the multimedia message needs to be made at a terminal, it is difficult to share the content or the operation is complicated due to the limitation of the size limit of the multimedia message.
A method for sharing the content in a second solution in the prior art is as follows: an Internet content provider adds a “share” link in the web page, so that the user can share the content with friends through an Email.
The sharing manner in the second solution in the prior art at least has the following disadvantages.
1. The Internet content provider needs to add a “share” link one by one for the content and provides a sharing function, which increases difficulty and a technical threshold of the sharing, and content provided for sharing is limited.
2. The sharing can only be implemented through an Email, and the sharing manner is single.
To sum up, the current solution for content sharing needs to locally save the content to be shared, and the shared content is limited by the sending manner; while it is very difficult to implement the method of adding the “share” link one by one by the Internet content provider, and the sharing manner is single.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a system for content sharing and propagation. As shown in
The network server 10 is configured to provide content corresponding to a service access request to the gateway 11 after receiving the service access request sent by the gateway 11, where the content provided by the network server 10 may be provided to the gateway 11 in the form of a webpage. The content includes, but is not limited to, an article, a picture, a video and an audio.
The gateway 11 is configured to receive the service access request sent by a terminal, obtain content corresponding to the service access request from the network server 10, determine, according to a sharing rule, content required to be shared (which may also be construed as content that may be shared or suitable to be shared) in the content corresponding to the service access request, feed back a sharing prompt to the terminal to determine whether to share the content required to be shared with other users, and send the content required to be shared after receiving a sharing request sent by the terminal; for example, a manner of feeding back the sharing prompt to the terminal by the gateway 11 may include: adding a sharing link in a page including the content required to be shared and sending the page added with the sharing link to the terminal.
The gateway 11 may be further configured to authenticate the terminal.
The gateway 11 may be further configured to receive the service access request sent by the terminal, send the service access request to the network server 10, and request the corresponding content from the network server 10.
The sharing rule may be preset and stored by the gateway. The sharing rule includes, but is not limited to the following: conditions such as a terminal identity, a terminal type and a website address are combined to form rules, and it is determined that the content that complies with the rules required to be shared; or, the text content of a web page is used as the sharing rule, including, but not limited to, a word count of a text paragraph in a web page exceeding a certain amount; or, a label of a subject included in a markup language (HTML, XHTML, WML), such as h1-h2 in HTML, and it is determined that the content that complies with this rule required to be shared; or a sharing rule for a picture in a web page may be configured, including, but not limited to, that any one or any combination of a width limit, a height limit, a size limit, and a picture type of the picture, accordingly it is determined that the content that complies with the rules required to be shared.
It can be understood that, the sharing rules mentioned above are merely several examples listed by the inventors, and a sharing rule may be set according to the requirements in actual applications or multiple rules can be combined for use.
Optionally, the system may further include a sharing server 12.
The method for sending the content required to be shared by the gateway 11 may be as follows: the gateway 11 sends a notification to the sharing server 12, where the notification includes: content required to be shared, an identity of a terminal requesting sharing, and an identity of a sharing receiver (that is, an identity of a destination receiver of the content required to be shared).
The sharing server 12 is configured to receive the notification of the gateway 11 and send the content required to be shared to the sharing receiver. As shown in
The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit protocols applied between the devices, for example, the Hypertext Transport Protocol (HTTP, Hypertext Transport Protocol) may be applied between the terminal and the gateway; the HTTP protocol may be applied between the gateway and the network server; the HTTP protocol may also be applied between the gateway and the sharing server; an MM7 protocol may be applied between the sharing server and the multimedia message center; a Short Message Peer-To-Peer Protocol (SMPP, Short Message Peer-To-Peer Protocol) may be applied between the sharing server and the short message center; and an SMTP protocol may be applied between the sharing server and an Email server.
To implement the functions of the gateway, a structure of an embodiment of the gateway 11 is shown in
The gateway device 11 may further include:
The gateway includes, but is not limited to, a Wireless Application Protocol (WAP, Wireless Application Protocol) gateway, a WEB gateway, an Internet Proxy, and a service control gateway.
Through the embodiment of the present disclosure, the user is not required to locally download the content required to be shared, and the content provider is not required to modify the content. A network side determines the content to be shared (content that may be shared or content that is required to be shared) according to the sharing rule and returns a sharing prompt to the terminal for selection and acknowledgement, for example, providing a sharing link, so that the user can share the content with friends conveniently and instantly when the user browses Internet content. Moreover, the content sharing and transmission are implemented based on the gateway, thereby ensuring the security of a content sharing process.
An embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a method for content sharing and propagation. As shown in
Step 30: A gateway receives a service access request sent by a terminal, and obtains content corresponding to the service access request from a network server.
Generally, the gateway may perform an authentication operation on an accessed terminal, that is, the gateway can obtain information about the terminal, and can determine whether the accessed terminal is legal according to the information of the terminal. Therefore, the method for content sharing and propagation in the embodiment of the present disclosure can ensure the security of the terminal requesting sharing.
The process that the gateway obtains the corresponding content from the network server that provides service content according to the service access request includes: after receiving the service access request sent by the terminal, the gateway sends the service access request to the network server, and receives content that corresponds to the service access request and is returned by the network server, where the network server generally provides the content corresponding to the service access request in the form of a web page.
Step 31: Determine content required to be shared in the content corresponding to the service access request according to a sharing rule and feed back a sharing prompt to the terminal.
After receiving the content that corresponds to the service access request and is provided by the network server, the gateway determines the content required to be shared according to the sharing rule. That is, the gateway judges whether the content provided by the network server meets sharing requirements, and determines the content required to be shared if the content meets the sharing requirements. The sharing rule includes, but is not limited to, the following: conditions such as a terminal identity, a terminal type and a website address are combined to form the rules, and it is determined that the content that complies with the rules required to be shared; or, the text content of a web page is used as the sharing rule, including, but not limited to, a word count of a text paragraph in a web page exceeding a certain amount; or, a label of a subject included in a markup language (HTML, XHTML, WML), such as h1-h2 in HTML, and it is determined that the content that complies with this rule required to be shared; or, a sharing rule for a picture in a web page may be configured, including, but not limited to, that any one or any combination of a width limit, a height limit, a size limit, and a picture type of the picture, and it is determined that the content that complies with the rules required to be shared.
If it is determined that the content is not required to be shared, the web page is directly provided to the terminal.
Step 32: Receive a sharing request sent by the terminal.
The sharing request may include an identity of a sharing receiver.
If the user determines that the content is required to be shared with friends, the terminal may send the sharing request through a sharing link, in which the sharing request includes an identity of a sharing receiver, that is, friends with whom the content is shared, and an identity of the sharing receiver may include, but is not limited to, an Email address and a phone number of the sharing receiver.
Step 33: Send the content required to be shared according to the sharing request.
For example, after receiving the sharing request, the gateway sends the content required to be shared that is determined in step 31, the identity of the terminal requesting sharing, and the identity of the sharing receiver to the sharing server, and then the sharing server sends the content required to be shared to the sharing receiver. The manner of the sharing server sending the content required to be shared to the sharing receiver may include, but is not limited to: sending a multimedia message, a short message or an Email through a multimedia message center, a short message center or an Email server.
Through the embodiment of the present disclosure, the user is not required to locally download the content required to be shared, and the content provider is also not required to modify the content. A network side determines the content to be shared according to the sharing rule, and feeds back a sharing prompt to the terminal, for example, providing a sharing link, so that the user can share the content with friends conveniently and instantly when the user browses Internet content. Moreover, the content sharing and propagation are implemented based on the gateway, thereby ensuring the security of a content sharing process.
For the convenience of understanding the present disclosure, the method described according to the foregoing embodiment is illustrated in detail in the following with specific examples.
Content required to be shared is sent through a multimedia message. As shown in
Step 41: A gateway receives a service access request from a client, requesting access to http://domain1/.
Step 42: The gateway forwards the request to a Web server.
Step 43: Receive a page response returned by the Web server.
Step 44: The gateway adds a “share with friends” link in the page response according to a set sharing rule.
Step 45: The gateway returns the page response added with the “share with friends” link to the client.
Step 46: The gateway receives a sharing request sent by the client.
If a user needs to share specific content with friends, the user may click the “share with friends” link, and then the gateway may receive the sharing request.
