The present invention relates generally to computer technology, and more particularly, to a networking activity interactive system and method, client and server thereof.
As the popularization of computers, information exchange becomes more and more convenient among people. People perform information interaction through the Social Networking Service (SNS). In an SNS community, people can create all kinds of groups through which users with same interests are convened. Furthermore, people can also post some networking activity information to assemble some other people to join the activity together. However, in a traditional SNS community, there is no criterion for the format of the activity contents created by a user. It only supports that people assemble some other people to join the activity. There are many kinds of activity contents with different formats. The contents replied by a user when he/she participates the networking activity are not very orderly and difficult to read and understand.
Therefore, a heretofore unaddressed need exists in the art to address the aforementioned deficiencies and inadequacies.
Therefore, one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide an interactive system of a networking activity which can make the activity content's format unified and easy to read.

As shown in
The creating module 10 is configured to create networking activity contents and assigning an identification code of the networking activity, an identification code of a group and an identification code of a posting corresponding to the networking activity. The creating module 10 receives a request submitted by a user for creating the networking activity and the networking activity contents. The networking activity contents include an activity title, activity detail content, activity time, activity classification, participation conditions, activity examples and so on. After creating the networking activity successfully, the creating module 10 assigns an identification code for the networking activity. Furthermore, since the networking activity contents are presented as a post, the creating module 10 also assigns an identification code for a group that the posting corresponding to the networking activity is disposed therein and an identification code for the posting. Herein, the networking activity refers to an assembling action with a topic, time and content published via a networking platform, and other users can respond the assembling action on the network by signing up and participating in the assembling action. The group is a networking organization format founded by users who have the same or similar interests.
The database 20 stores the networking activity contents created and a participant user group of the networking activity. As shown in
Furthermore, the creating module 10 receives a request for creating a networking activity and the networking activity contents submitted by a user, and submits the networking activity contents submitted by the user to the activity information storage module 200 and the posting information storage module 202, and determines whether there is a cross-check relationship between the activity information storage module 200 and the posting information storage module 202 for the networking activity contents. If yes, the networking activity is added into the networking activity creating volume of the user of the user activity storage module 204. If no, the creating module 10 re-submits the networking activity contents to the activity information storage module 200 and the posting information storage module 202. Here, the cross-check relationship means that a user can receive all contents of the networking activity by submitting the identification code of the networking activity or the identification code of the group that the posting corresponding to the networking activity is disposed therein and the identification code of the posting.
The interactive module 30 receives a request for participating the networking activity submitted by a user and participant data submitted by the user, and determines whether the participant data is in conformity with the networking activity contents. If yes, the user is added into the participant user group of the networking activity and the participant data submitted by the user are stored into the participant reply content volume of the networking activity. Here, the participant data submitted by the user include the personal information of the user and the participant contents. The submitted participant data are the participant reply contents of the networking activity. The participant reply content volume of the networking activity is a volume of the participant data submitted by all users. The detail process of determination is: from the activity information storage module 200, the interactive module 30 receives the participation condition and the required information of the networking activity of the corresponding request submitted by the user for participating the networking activity, and determines whether the personal information of the user is in conformity with the requirement for participating the networking activity. If yes, interactive module 30 receives the activity example of the corresponding networking activity from posting information storage module 202. If no, the participant of the user is unsuccessful. After receiving the activity example, the interactive module 30 determines whether the participant data submitted by the user is in conformity with the format of the activity example. If yes, the participant data submitted by the user are sequenced and stored into the posting information storage module 202, and the user is added into the participant user group of the networking activity of the activity information storage module 200, and the networking activity is stored into the user activity storage module 204 and added into the networking activity participating volume of the user. After reverse-sequencing the participant data which are submitted by the user and stored as sequencing character strings, the posting information storage module 202 presents the participant data and the identification code of the networking activity in a new reply of the posting of the corresponding networking activity via presenting module 40, and identifies the participant contents submitted by the user by special identification. The special identification is to set a default field in a posting information database for reply, wherein 0 in the default field means a normal reply from the user for the networking activity and 1 in the default field means a participant reply from the user for the networking activity.
The presenting module 40 is configured to present the networking activity contents and the participant reply content volume of the networking activity. In the present embodiment, the networking activity and the participant contents submitted by the user are presented as a posting.
In order to clearly illustrate the application of the networking activity interactive system, the following networking activity named “Dedicating to the Mother's Day, I have an appointment with children” is described in detail.
The creating module 10 creates networking activity contents, such as: the activity title is “Dedicating to the Mother's Day, I have an appointment with children”; the activity detail contents is “Around Mother's Day, write a short story about you and children (more than 150 words), provide 5 or more pictures about mother and children (clear and beautiful)”; the activity time is “Before 9th May”; the activity classification is “literature”; the participation condition is “anyone who meets the entry conditions can apply to participate”; the activity example is “the title and the address of the composition posting of the activity should be included and replied in the activity postings”; the identification code of the networking activity is “01”; the identification code of the group that the posting corresponding to the networking activity is disposed therein is “02”; the identification code of the posting is “022”.
The creating module 10 submits and stores the contents, “Dedicating to the Mother's Day, I have an appointment with children”, to the activity information storage module 200 and the posting information storage module 202. The creating module 10 also creates a cross-check relationship between the activity information storage module 200 and the posting information storage module 202, thus the user can inquire all information about “Dedicating to the Mother's Day, I have an appointment with children” from the activity information storage module 200 and the posting information storage module 202 by the identification code of networking activity, which is “01”, or the identification code of the group that the posting corresponding to the networking activity is disposed therein, which is “02”, or the identification code of the post, which is “022”. After creating the cross-check relationship successfully, the networking activity “Dedicating to the Mother's Day, I have an appointment with children” is stored into the user activity storage module 204 and added into the networking activity creating volume of the user.
After receiving the participant data which is “[Mother's Day] My baby can sing and dance http://abc.abc.com/abc.html” submitted by a user named “snowing”, the interactive module 30 compares the participant data with the networking activity contents. Since the participant data is consistent with the requirement of the participation condition and the activity example's format of the networking activity, the user “snowing” is added into the participant user group of the networking activity “Dedicating to the Mother's Day, I have an appointment with children”, and the participant data submitted by “snowing” are added into the participant reply content volume of the networking activity.
The presenting module 40 presents the networking activity contents of “Dedicating to the Mother's Day, I have an appointment with children” and the participant data submitted by “snowing”, which is “[Mother's Day] My baby can sing and dance http://abc.abc.com/abc.html”.
As shown in
In the embodiment, the present networking activity interactive system further includes a reply module 60 and a comment module 70.
The reply module 60 obtains the normal reply contents submitted by the user about the networking activity contents, that is, the normal reply contents don't need to be determined by the interactive module 30. After receiving the normal reply contents submitted by the user, the reply module 60 stores them into the posting information storage module 202, and appends a record in the reply list of the posting of the corresponding networking activity. Herein, the normal reply contents are the replies published by the user who doesn't sign up and participate in the networking activity, that is, the text contents submitted by the user.
The comment module 70 is for receiving the comment contents of the participant data submitted by the user in the participant reply volume of the networking activity, storing the comment contents into the posting information storage module 202, and presenting the comment contents by the presenting module 40. In the embodiment, there are two fields in comment module 70 which are “great” and “don't like”. When a user reads the participant reply contents of the networking activity of the participant user, he/she can click the options of “great” or “don't like” to appraise the participant reply contents. The comment module 70 stores the comment contents, increases by one for a counter of the corresponding option, and stores the counter of the corresponding option back into the posting information storage module 202.
In one embodiment, as shown in
Here is an example for creating a networking activity, for example: the activity title is “Dedicating to the Mother's Day, I have an appointment with children”; the activity detail content is “Around Mother's Day, write a short story about you and children (more than 150 words), provide 5 or more pictures about mother and children (clear and beautiful)”; the activity time is “Before 9th May”; the activity classification is “literature”; the participation condition is “anyone who meets the entry conditions can be applied to participate”; the activity example is “reply the address of the of the composition posting of the activity in the activity post”.
In one embodiment, as shown in
In an embodiment, the present networking activity interactive method further includes receiving the normal reply contents submitted by the user about the networking activity contents, and storing and presenting the normal reply contents. The normal reply contents are the text reply contents published by the user who didn't sign up and participate in the networking activity. For example, in the present activity “Dedicating to the Mother's Day, I have an appointment with children”, since a user directly replies “Thanks, Mother” which is not a reply following the activity example, the reply contents are the normal reply contents.
The present interactive method also includes a step of inquiring the networking activity contents and/or the networking activity records of the user. As shown in
