Furthermore, the present disclosure can be implemented equally as hardware circuitry or hardware circuitry in combination with software instructions, and thus implementation of the present disclosure is not limited to any specific hardware circuitry, software, or combination of both.

Referring to fig. 4, in an exemplary embodiment, a method for allocating resources in instant messaging is applied to a server 200 in the implementation environment shown in fig. 1, and the structure of the server 200 may be as shown in fig. 3.

The resource allocation method in instant messaging may be executed by the server 200, and may include the following steps:

at step 310, a resource usage invitation is received.

Wherein, the resource use invitation is initiated by the client of the inviter inviting the session members participating in the multi-person session to use the resource.

The multi-person conversation is created by the client for multi-party resource users aiming at a certain conversation theme, for example, a multi-person chat group created in the instant messaging client, the multi-party resource users are conversation members participating in the multi-person conversation, and any conversation member can be used as an inviting party to send out an invitation for using resources, namely a resource use invitation, to other conversation members, namely an invited party. The client creating the multi-person session may be a client where an inviter is located, or may be a client where an invitee is located, which is not limited herein.

In the conversation page for carrying out the multi-person conversation, the conversation members can carry out the conversation randomly about a certain conversation subject, namely, one of the conversation members inputs conversation messages from the conversation page in the forms of characters, pictures, voice and the like, and correspondingly, the conversation messages are respectively and simultaneously issued on the conversation pages where other conversation members are located, so that the multi-person conversation among the conversation members is realized. For example, a multi-person session is created for "a certain product will be discussed", when the multi-person session fails to achieve the desired effect, a video conference may need to be held for the session members participating in the multi-person session, and accordingly, the resource may be a conference room equipped with a camera for the client of the inviter to use for the session members to participate in the video conference to initiate the invitation, or the resource may be a notebook computer equipped with a camera, so that the client of the inviter may initiate the invitation for the session members by using the notebook computer to conduct the video conference with other session members.

An invitation initiating entrance is additionally arranged in the session page, and the server side can be requested to perform resource allocation through related operations triggered by the invitation initiating entrance so as to determine the position of the resource and the service time of the resource through the resource allocation and further send out the invitation. That is, if the entry of the invitation initiation is triggered in the session page, it indicates that the inviting party needs to send an invitation to the invited party to use the resource.

For example, the invitation-initiated entry is configured as a virtual button in the session page, when a certain session member clicks the virtual button, that is, an entry indicating resource allocation is triggered, and accordingly, a clicking operation is regarded as a related operation triggered by the invitation-initiated entry, and the certain session member is regarded as an inviter.

When an entrance initiated by invitation is triggered, the client side where the inviting party is located obtains a corresponding invitation initiating instruction from the created multi-person conversation, and then initiates resource use invitation to the server side according to the invitation initiating instruction.

Of course, the invitation-initiated portal may also be flexibly set according to the actual application scenario, for example, the invitation-initiated portal is configured as a voice input dialog box in the session page to initiate the resource usage invitation through voice input.

Further, the resource use invitation is initiated according to the session topic, the session members, and the like, that is, the resource use invitation carries the session topic, the session members, and the like, so as to be used by the server side in a subsequent resource allocation process. For example, the resource usage invitation carries the member identification of the session member.

For the server, after the client where the inviter is located initiates the resource use invitation, the server can receive the resource use invitation, so as to subsequently respond to the resource use invitation to execute a resource allocation process for the client where the inviter is located, and further provide the location of the resource and the resource use time for the client where the inviter is located, so that the client where the inviter is located sends the invitation accordingly.

It should be noted that, first, in a multi-person conversation, each conversation member is uniquely represented by a member identification. For example, if the member identification of the session member a is a, the session member a is uniquely represented in the multi-person session by the member identification a. Therefore, when the server side processes resource use invitations initiated by the client side where the massive inviting parties are located, the server side can uniquely determine the corresponding resource use invitations through member identifications of the inviting parties.

Secondly, the client may be a software client or a web page client, and accordingly, the session page may be a session window configured by the software client or a web page for the web page client to perform multi-person session.

And step 330, acquiring the association data of the conversation members through the resource use invitation linkage member association database.

It should be noted that the services provided by the member association database for the user include resource allocation services, for example, a conference booking service provides a conference room booking function for the user. The member association database provides a preset service mode for the user, so that the user can obtain the resource distribution service provided by the member association database for the user through the preset service mode. For example, the member association database is configured in a server, the preset service mode is registration login, and after the user registers login, the user can enjoy the service provided by the member association database in the server.

For the client where the user is located, when the user enjoys the service provided by the member association database through a preset service mode, the user-associated data is provided for the member association database, in other words, the building of the member association database perfects the data related to massive users.

Specifically, the member association database includes, but is not limited to, an underlying information data service system, a calendar service system, and a resource allocation service system.

The basic information data service system stores basic information of a plurality of users, wherein the basic information includes but is not limited to the positions (such as regions, buildings and floors) of the users, contact information of the users and the like. The position of the user can be actively input by the user, can be reported through communication equipment associated with the user, and can be positioned by hardware equipment (such as Beacon equipment) arranged in a building where the user is located.

Through the arrangement, the position of the user can be dynamically updated along with the effective movement of the user, and the accuracy of the resource allocation service provided by the member association database is effectively guaranteed. Here, the user effectively moves means that the time for which the user leaves the regular premises exceeds a threshold value, for example, the threshold value is 10 days.

For example, the user usually has a location of area a, and moves to area B for one month, and the location of the user is updated from area a to area B by positioning. Alternatively, the user often visits building a and temporarily visits building B, and the user is still located in building a.

The calendar service system stores schedules scheduled by a plurality of users, for example, meetings which need to be attended recently, and the schedules of the users can be input actively by the users or can be fed back by the resource allocation service system according to resources used by the users.

The resource allocation service system is used for allocating resources according to the resource allocation information and locking the resources allocated to the users so that the users can use the allocated resources conveniently. The resource allocation information includes the number of the resource users, the resource use time, and the like. For example, when the conference room is allocated, the conference room allocation information includes that the number of the persons using the conference room is 10, the using time of the conference room is 10 to 12 am, the conference reservation service system allocates the conference room a which can accommodate 15 persons for the session members participating in the conference and has an idle state time period of 9 to 12 am.

The conversation member association data refers to data associated with conversation members participating in multi-person conversation in a member association database, in other words, the conversation members are not only resource users, but also users of the member association database, and accordingly, the conversation member association data includes but is not limited to regions where the members are located, buildings where the members are located, floors where the members are located, member schedule information and the like.

Further, the conversation member association data is associated in the member association database through member identification of the conversation member. For example, the conversation member registers and logs in the member association database through the member identification, thereby enjoying the service and providing the conversation member association data.

On the basis, for the server, the member identification of the session member is extracted from the resource use invitation, and the session member association data associated with the member identification can be obtained from the member association database through the communication connection established with the member association database.

And 350, screening the resources in the resource set configured by the member association database according to the session member association data to obtain an invitation result.

The resource set is a set of all resources available for use and is provided by a resource allocation service system in the member association database.

In a specific implementation of an exemplary embodiment, the resources are divided into resources in an idle state and resources in a locked state according to the usage state, and based on this, the resources available for allocation refer to the resources whose usage state is the idle state, and accordingly, the resource set is a set of all the resources in the idle state. For example, a conference room set includes a conference room in an idle state and a conference room in a locked state.

Therefore, the invitation result is obtained by further screening all the resources in the idle state. Wherein the invitation result indicates the location of the resource and the resource using time.

For example, the conversation member association data indicates that the conversation members participating in the multi-person conversation are on the B floor of building a, and after the screening of the resources, the resource with the resource position on the B floor of building a in the resource set can be used as the candidate resource. In other words, the resource is located closest to the location of the session members.

In the case that the conversation member association data indicates that the conversation members participating in the multi-person conversation do not have usage time conflict in the time period C, the time period C is regarded as the resource usage time, and the candidate resource with the resource located on the floor B of the building a is further screened according to the time period C, that is, the candidate resource with the resource located on the floor B of the building a is the resource used by the final conversation member, that is, the resource allocated to the conversation member.

It should be noted that the order of resource screening is not according to the position first and then the time, or according to the time first and then the position, or both, and then the intersection is taken, which is not limited herein.

Accordingly, the invitation result includes the candidate resource which is in the idle state in the time period C and the resource is positioned at the floor A of the building B, the resource usage time indicated by the candidate resource is the time period C, and the resource is positioned at the floor A of the building B.

It should be understood that after the screening, there may be one candidate resource or multiple candidate resources, and accordingly, the invitation result may include multiple candidate resources for subsequent pushing to the client where the inviting party is located to make a next resource usage selection, or the invitation result may also include one candidate resource randomly selected and pushed to the client where the inviting party is located.

Certainly, when multiple candidate resources are selected according to the actual application scenario needs, a selection policy may also be set in the server, for example, each candidate resource is scored according to the human comfort level, assuming that the time period when the candidate resource is in the idle state is a higher morning time division, the time period when the candidate resource is in the idle state is close to the noon or a lower afternoon time division, the time period when the candidate resource is in the idle state is a lowest evening time division, and an invitation result is obtained according to the candidate resource with the highest score, or a moving path from a conversation member to each candidate resource is searched, and an invitation result is obtained according to the candidate resource with the shortest moving path distance, which is not illustrated herein.

Further, the candidate resource in the invitation result may be the same as, may be multiple to, or may be multiple different types of resource for the session member, based on the location of the session member, and is not limited herein.

The client side where the inviting party is located sends out conference invitations to the client sides where the other session members are located, the location of the inviting party and the session member A is the area A, the location of the session member B is the area B, at this time, the inviting party invites the other session members to participate in the video conference, correspondingly, the inviting result includes a candidate resource A and a candidate resource B, the candidate resource A is used by the inviting party and the session member A, and the candidate resource B is used by the session member B. Where candidate resources A, B may all be videoconference rooms for use by inviter and session member a, and session member B, respectively; or, the candidate resource a is a video conference room, and the candidate resource B is a notebook computer configured with a camera, the session member B will access the video conference room used by the inviter and the session member a through the notebook computer, so as to achieve the purpose of performing a video conference with the inviter and the session member a.

Further alternatively, the locations of the inviter, the session member C, and the session member D are all the region C, and at this time, the invitation result includes the candidate resource C, which is a conference room and shared by the inviter, the session member C, and the session member D, so that the session member C, D participates in the conference initiated by the inviter.

Furthermore, the invitation result may not include any candidate resource, that is, when the resource is screened, all the resources in the resource set in the idle state do not meet the requirement, for example, a time period during which the resource is in the idle state in the resource set conflicts with a time for using the resource, at this time, the invitation result may be empty, or may include a screening suggestion fed back to the client where the inviting party is located, for example, a video conference room is not required to be allocated to expand the screening range, and the like.

Step 370, sending the invitation result to the client of the inviting party.

For the client side where the inviter is located, when the server side sends the invitation result, the invitation result can be received.

If the invitation result contains the candidate resource, the successful resource allocation of the server is indicated, and the candidate resource is locked by the resource allocation service system in the member association database for the subsequent use of the conversation member.

On the contrary, if the invitation result fails to indicate any candidate resource, which indicates that the resource allocation by the server fails, at this time, the invitation may be stopped, or the invitation to use the resource may be continuously initiated, that is, the server returns to step 310 until the resource allocation is successful, for example, a certain resource is just released during the resource allocation process, so as to promote the successful resource allocation.

In a specific implementation of an exemplary embodiment, the invitation result is displayed in a pop-up dialog box manner in another page different from the session page, so that the inviter confirms the location of the resource and the resource usage time indicated by the invitation result.

Through the process, the conversation member association data in the member association database is used as a precondition for resource allocation, and whether the time for using the resources has conflict or not does not need to be inquired manually, so that manual implementation is avoided, and the problem of low efficiency in the prior art is solved.

In addition, the automation of resource allocation is realized through the linkage of the server and the member association database, so that the labor confirmation time is saved, and the resource allocation efficiency is improved.

Referring to fig. 5, in an exemplary embodiment, after step 370, the method as described above may further include the steps of:

and step 410, receiving an invitation confirmation instruction fed back by the client where the inviter is located.

Wherein the invitation confirmation instruction indicates that the invitation result is triggered to be confirmed.

It can be understood that the inviting party may not be satisfied with the invitation result returned by the server, for example, the resource usage time indicated by the invitation result is not satisfied, for this reason, in this embodiment, the inviting party may confirm the invitation result, and accordingly, the client where the inviting party is located is to add an invitation confirmation entry, so that the inviting party triggers confirmation of the invitation result through the invitation confirmation entry.

When the invitation confirmation entrance is triggered, the invitation party confirms the invitation result, namely the conversation member agrees to use the candidate resource in the invitation result, and correspondingly, the client side where the invitation party is located intercepts and obtains an invitation confirmation instruction.

After the client side where the inviter is located sends the intercepted invitation confirmation instruction to the server side, the server side can receive the invitation confirmation instruction.

In a specific implementation of an exemplary embodiment, the session page is a page where conference participants participating in a conference have a session, the invitation result is displayed in another page different from the session page, and an invitation confirmation entry is added to the other page where the invitation result is displayed. As shown in fig. 6, in the session page 401, the invitation result is displayed in the dialog page 402, and an invitation confirmation entry 403 is added to the dialog page 402.

Step 430, executing the invitation confirmation instruction to generate the resource use invitation message according to the invitation result.

Step 450, sending the resource use invitation message to the client where the session member is located, and publishing the resource use invitation message through the client where the session member is located.

The resource usage invitation message may be published in a session page provided by a client where the session member is located, so that the session member knows the specific content of the invitation, that is, the resource usage invitation message belongs to the session message, and the invitation result is only for the convenience of the inviter to confirm, so that the two will be different in format.

Accordingly, the generation of the resource usage invitation message essentially formats the content included in the invitation result in the format of the session message.

As shown in fig. 7, explained in the above specific implementation, the resource usage invitation message 405 is published in the form of a session message in the session page 401.

In other embodiments, in addition to the publishing of the resource usage invitation message, the resource usage invitation message may also be sent by the resource allocation service system in the member association database, that is, an invitation mail is sent to the mail client of the invited party through the mail client of the inviting party to invite the invited party to use the allocated resources. Correspondingly, the mail client side of the inviting party executes an invitation confirmation instruction, so as to generate an invitation mail according to the content contained in the invitation result, and send the invitation mail to the mail client side of the invited party.

Under the action of the embodiment, only when the invitation result is triggered and confirmed, the client where the conversation member is located can issue the resource use invitation message, so that harassment is effectively avoided, and the use experience of the user is promoted.

In an exemplary embodiment, after step 370, the method as described above may further include the steps of:

and when the invitation result is triggered and confirmed, the linkage member association database updates the member schedule information in the conversation member association data according to the invitation result.

When the invitation result is triggered to confirm, the conversation member will use the resource at the resource use time indicated by the invitation result, for example, the conversation member participates in the meeting according to the meeting time indicated by the invitation result, and the schedule of the conversation member will change accordingly.

Specifically, in the updating of the schedule stored in the calendar service system, the server interacts with the calendar service system, so that the calendar service system arranges the corresponding schedule of the session member to the associated schedule according to the resource use time indicated in the invitation result sent by the server.

Under the action of the embodiment, the schedule can be dynamically updated along with the trigger confirmation of the invitation, namely, when the session member accepts the invitation, the schedule associated with the session member also changes correspondingly, so that the accuracy of the resource allocation service provided by the member association database is effectively guaranteed.

Referring to fig. 8, in an exemplary embodiment, after step 370, the method as described above may further include the steps of:

and step 510, receiving an invitation cancellation instruction fed back by the client side where the inviting party is located according to the invitation result.

Wherein, the invitation canceling instruction indicates the client of the inviter to cancel the invitation of using the resource.

As described above, the inviting party may not be satisfied with the invitation result returned by the server, and for this reason, in this embodiment, the client where the inviting party is located is to add an invitation cancellation entry, so that the inviting party triggers cancellation of the invitation to use the resource through the invitation cancellation entry.

When the invitation cancel entrance is triggered, the session member does not accept the invitation of using the candidate resource in the invitation result, and correspondingly, the client of the inviting party monitors to obtain the invitation cancel instruction.

After the client side where the inviter is located sends the intercepted invitation cancellation instruction to the server side, the server side can receive the invitation cancellation instruction.

In a specific implementation of an exemplary embodiment, the invitation result is displayed in another page different from the session page, and an invitation cancel entry is added to the other page on which the invitation result is displayed. As shown in fig. 6, in the session page 401, the invitation result is displayed in the dialog box page 402, and an invitation cancel entry 404 is added to the dialog box page 402.

Step 530, the resource allocation service system is linked to release the candidate resource in the invitation result according to the invitation cancellation instruction.

It should be understood that, after the server completes resource allocation for the client where the inviter is located, the resource allocation service system locks the candidate resource in the invitation result, even if the usage state of the candidate resource is switched from the idle state to the locked state, so that the server cannot allocate the candidate resource again.

On this basis, when the session member does not accept the invitation of using the candidate resource in the invitation result, that is, it is stated that the session member will not use the candidate resource, at this time, the server interacts with the resource allocation service system, so that the resource allocation service system releases the candidate resource, even if the use state of the candidate resource is restored from the locked state to the idle state, the server is convenient to reallocate the candidate resource.

Through the process, the candidate resources are released in time, the waste of the resources is avoided, and the utilization rate of the resources is improved.

Further, for the client where the inviter is located, before feeding back the invitation confirmation instruction or the invitation cancellation instruction to the server, in an exemplary embodiment, the method as described above may further include the following steps:

and acquiring a use modification instruction in the displayed invitation result.

And requesting the service end to feed back the use modification message according to the use modification instruction, and displaying.

And performing invitation result change processing according to the trigger operation in the displayed use modification message.

As shown in FIG. 6, a page 402 for displaying invitation results has added thereto a plurality of modification entries, such as a time modification entry 406 added for modifying meeting time. When the modification entry is triggered, that is, it indicates that the inviter wants to modify the content corresponding to the modification entry in the invitation result, the client where the inviter is located can obtain the corresponding use modification instruction.

After obtaining the use modification instruction, the client of the inviting party requests the server to feed back a corresponding use modification message. For example, when the time modification entry 406 is triggered, the corresponding usage modification message includes alternative resource usage times. The available time of the optional resources is obtained by the server-side linkage resource allocation system and is sent to the client side where the inviter is located.

After the inviter selects the resource usage time for selection, the client side changes the meeting time in the invitation result according to the resource usage time selected by the inviter, and displays the changed invitation result for further confirmation or cancellation by the inviter. Wherein, the selection operation performed by the inviting party is the trigger operation in the usage modification message.

Through the process, before the inviting party triggers to confirm or cancel the invitation result, the modification of the invitation result is realized, the invitation does not need to be reinitiated because of unsatisfied invitation result, the invitation efficiency is improved, and the use experience of the user is further improved.

Referring to fig. 9, in an exemplary embodiment, step 350 may include the steps of:

step 351, determining a target building and a target floor according to the building where the member is located and the floor where the member is located in the conversation member association data, and determining a conflict-free time period according to the member schedule information in the conversation member association data.

The target building and target floor are used to indicate where the resource is located.

Specifically, the linkage basic information data service system firstly acquires conversation member related data related to conversation members, and extracts the buildings where the members are located and the floors where the members are located, so as to be used for determining target buildings and target floors subsequently.

In the process of determining the target building, whether the conversation members belong to the same building is judged according to the building where the member corresponding to each conversation member belongs, and if so, the building where the member corresponding to any conversation member belongs is taken as the target building.

And if not, counting the number of people in the building where different members are located so as to further judge whether the difference between every two counted numbers of people exceeds the preset difference. If the number of the invited parties is not more than the number of the invited parties, the building where the inviting party is located is taken as the target building, and if the invited parties which do not belong to the same region as the inviting party exist, a building is selected as the target building for the invited parties which are in different places.

On the contrary, if the preset difference value is exceeded, the building where the members corresponding to the larger number of people are located is taken as the target building, and at the moment, if conversation members exist in the building which are not in the same region as the building where the members are located, a building is selected as the target building for the conversation members in different places.

It should be noted that, according to the requirement of the actual application scenario, in the process of determining the target building for the conversation member in the different place, the building may be selected randomly, or a building closest to the conversation member in the different place may be selected, which is not limited herein.

The target floor selection is similar to the target building selection and will not be described in detail here.

A conflict-free time period refers to a time period in which all session members are not scheduled, i.e., a free time period for a session member. The conflict-free time period is used for determining the resource usage time, which means that the resource usage time is within the conflict-free time period.

Specifically, the idle time periods of the session members are extracted according to the member schedule information of the session members, the time difference preprocessing is carried out on the idle time periods of the session members, and then the intersection of the idle time periods of the session members after the time difference preprocessing is taken to obtain the conflict-free time periods.

And 353, performing resource matching search in the resource set according to the target building, the target floor and the conflict-free time period to obtain candidate resources.

Wherein, the matching means that the position of the candidate resource is closest to the target building and the target floor, and the time period of the candidate resource in the idle state is in the conflict-free time period range.

For example, when a conference is to be held by a member of the session, since the members of the session do not belong to the same region, and the recent use states of the conference room equipped with the video input device (e.g., the camera) are all locked, the video conference is performed through the notebook computer equipped with the camera, and accordingly, the candidate resource is the notebook computer equipped with the camera, and the location of the candidate resource is the storage location of the notebook computer.

On the basis, on the premise of determining a conflict-free time period, the notebook computer with the storage position closest to the target building and the target floor is preferably selected.

It should be noted that the determination of the target building, the target floor and the conflict-free time period has no sequence, and the matching search of the resources may be performed after all the determinations of the target building, the target floor and the conflict-free time period are completed, or may be performed one by one, for example, first performing the first resource matching search according to the target building, then performing the second resource matching search according to the target floor, and finally performing the third resource matching search according to the conflict-free time period, which is not limited herein.

Step 355, obtaining the invitation result from the candidate resource, and locking the candidate resource in the invitation result in linkage with the member association database.

As described above, when there are session members that do not belong to the same region, the target building is selected for different regions, and thus the invitation result includes at least one candidate resource corresponding to different regions.

On the basis, when the member association database is linked, the candidate resource corresponding to at least one region is locked in the resource set configured by the resource allocation service system.

Further, after the resource allocation service system completes the locking of the candidate resources, the locking receipt message is sent to the server, so that the server sends the resource use invitation message to the client where the session member is located according to the locking receipt message, the failure of resource allocation caused by the failure of resource locking is avoided, and further, the effectiveness of resource allocation is fully guaranteed.

In the process, the invitation result is obtained without manually confirming the resource use time or manually confirming the position of the resource, so that a large amount of manual confirmation time is saved, and the problem of low efficiency is effectively solved.

Referring to FIG. 10, in an exemplary embodiment where the resource comprises a site resource, the method as described above may further include, before step 350, the steps of:

and step 610, acquiring the regional distribution of the session members according to the regions of the members in the associated data of the session members.

Step 630, when the regional distribution of the session members indicates that the session members do not belong to the same region, the opening of the multi-party video is marked in the member association database.

And 650, forming a resource set by the resource configuration provided with the video input equipment through the starting of the multi-party video.

It should be noted that, for conversation members that do not belong to the same region, multiple videos refer to establishing video connection between resources in different regions, correspondingly.

For example, if the session member a is in the region a and the session member B is in the region B, the session member a reserves the resource a1 of the region a and the session member B reserves the resource B1 of the region B, at this time, the session members a and B regard as two-party resource users, and a video connection is established between the resources a1 and B1, so that two-party videos can be performed between the session members a and B.

Secondly, the regional distribution of the session members is used for describing the distribution of the session members in the domain where the members are located. For example, the session members participating in the multi-person session include C1, C2, and C3, where the region where the session members C1 and C3 are located is D, and the region where the session member C2 is located is E, at this time, the regional distribution of the session members is that the region D includes two session members C1 and C3, and the region E includes one session member C2.

On this basis, in this embodiment, when the session members do not belong to the same region, the resource allocation service system in the member association database provides the multiparty video service to the session members.

Specifically, regional distribution of session members is obtained, whether the session members participating in the multi-person session belong to the same region is judged according to the regional distribution, when the session members do not belong to the same region, resources provided with video input devices are used as available resources, namely resource sets, and subsequent resource allocation services are provided based on the resource sets.

Through the cooperation of the embodiment, the automatic starting of the multi-party video function is realized for the conversation members in different regions, and the use experience of the user is improved.

step 710, obtaining a meeting invitation initiating instruction in the created multi-person session.

And step 730, initiating a conference invitation for the session members participating in the multi-person session to participate in the conference according to the conference invitation initiating instruction.

And step 750, receiving and displaying an invitation result returned by the server in response to the meeting invitation.

And the invitation result is obtained by screening the conference rooms in the conference room set by the server-side linkage member association database.

Referring to fig. 13, in an exemplary embodiment, after step 750, the method as described above may further include the steps of:

and step 810, acquiring an invitation confirmation instruction in the displayed invitation result.

Step 830, feeding back an invitation confirmation instruction to the server, and requesting the server to send a meeting room use invitation message to the client where the session member is located through the invitation confirmation instruction.

Step 850, receiving the meeting room use invitation message, and publishing the meeting room use invitation message in the session page.

FIG. 14 is a diagram of a specific implementation of an implementation method for inviting use of a resource in an application scenario. In the application scenario, the resource is a conference room, and the client is an instant messaging client.

And the client side initiates a conference invitation for the session members participating in the multi-person session by using the conference room in the session page for carrying out the multi-person session.

And the service side receives the meeting invitation and extracts a meeting room distribution message from the meeting invitation, wherein the meeting room distribution message comprises but is not limited to the number of people using the meeting room, the using time of the meeting room, the conversation members, the conversation subject and the like, and then the meeting room distribution message is interacted with the member association database. The member association database comprises a basic information data service system, a calendar service system and a meeting reservation service system.

Specifically, conversation member basic information is obtained by interacting with a basic information data service system, wherein the conversation member basic information comprises but is not limited to the region where the member is located, the building where the member is located, and the floor where the member is located, so that the target building and the target floor are determined, and the opening of the multi-party video is determined.

The method comprises the steps of interacting with a calendar service system to obtain member schedule information so as to determine a conflict-free time period, thereby effectively avoiding possible conflicts among session members in the meeting time.

Interacting with a conference reservation service system, screening conference rooms in the configured conference room set according to the target building, the target floor, the conflict-free time period and whether the multi-party video is started or not, determining candidate conference rooms which are matched with the target building and the target floor at the positions and are in the idle state within the conflict-free time period range, and locking.

On one hand, if the client side of the inviting party triggers and confirms the inviting result, an inviting confirmation instruction is correspondingly generated and reported to the server side, so that the server side is linked with the conference reservation service system to send an inviting mail to the session members according to the confirmed inviting result, and meanwhile, the client side of the inviting party can issue the conference room use inviting message in the session page.

In the invitation confirmation, the calendar service system updates the corresponding schedule for each conversation member according to the meeting invitation accepted by the conversation member.

On the other hand, if the client where the inviter is located triggers cancellation of meeting invitation, an invitation cancellation instruction is correspondingly generated and reported to the server, so that the server is linked with the meeting reservation service system to release the candidate meeting room.

In the application scene, the conference room is automatically preset, so that the conference invitation is directly sent to the session members participating in the multi-person session, a large amount of manpower confirmation time is saved, the manual realization is avoided, the method is particularly suitable for the situation of using the conference room in different places, and the efficiency is effectively improved.
