In one embodiment, the information management interface may trigger display through a management setting interface, as shown in fig. 3c, where the terminal device may first display a management setting interface, which may be shown as an interface labeled 305 in fig. 3c, and the management setting interface includes a management setting option, where the management setting option may be, for example, a "mask setting" option shown as an interface labeled 305 in fig. 3b, and when the terminal device detects that the management setting option (e.g., the "mask setting" option) is selected, the information management interface may be displayed, as shown as an interface labeled 306 in fig. 3c, and in an embodiment of the present invention, a detailed description will be mainly given by taking, as an example, the information management interface displayed as an interface labeled 304 in fig. 3 b.

After the terminal device displays the information management interface, the interactive information indicated by the information identifier may be shared based on the information sharing component displayed in the information management interface, that is, step S202 is performed instead.

S202, selecting an information sharing component, displaying a sharing window, wherein the sharing window comprises target information identifiers to be shared and client identifiers of a second client, and the target information identifiers are determined according to one or more information identifiers.

In one embodiment, if the information management interface is displayed in the playing interface of the multimedia data, after the terminal device determines that the information sharing component displayed in the information management interface is selected, a sharing window is displayed in the playing interface of the multimedia data, where the information sharing component may be a component denoted by 30 in fig. 3a, and when the terminal device selects the information sharing component and displays the sharing window, the sharing window may be displayed on the information management interface, as shown in fig. 3d, where the information management interface is denoted by 307 in fig. 3d, and the displayed sharing window is denoted by 308 in fig. 3 d; alternatively, as shown in fig. 3e, when the sharing window is displayed, the display of the information management interface is canceled, and after the display of the information management interface is canceled, the sharing window is displayed. In one embodiment, if the information identifier displayed in the sharing window is a file identifier corresponding to a certain information file, the terminal device will display a corresponding expansion component when displaying the file identifier of the information file, as shown in fig. 3e, and if the expansion component is selected, the interactive information recorded in the information file will be expanded and displayed in the sharing window, where the interactive information may be text information or an expression image.

The displayed sharing window comprises target information identifiers to be shared, wherein the target information identifiers are determined according to the sharing identifiers displayed in the information management interface, specifically, the terminal equipment can take all the sharing identifiers displayed in the information management interface as target information identifiers and display the target information identifiers in the sharing window, or the terminal equipment can select part of the identifiers from the sharing identifiers displayed in the information management interface as target information identifiers and display the target information identifiers in the sharing window, and when the terminal equipment selects part of the identifiers from the information management interface and displays the partial identifiers in the sharing window, the terminal equipment can sequentially select part of the identifiers from the information management interface from front to back according to the arrangement sequence of the information identifiers in the information management interface; or the terminal device may also select a part of the identifier from the information management interface according to the information type of the interaction information indicated by the information identifier, for example, the terminal device may select the information identifier of the interaction information in the information management interface, which is the information content, as the target information identifier, or for example, the terminal device may select the information identifier of the interaction information in the information management interface, which is the file identifier, as the target information identifier.

In addition, the sharing window further displays the client identifiers of one or more other clients different from the operation platform of the first client, where the client identifier displayed in the sharing window may be any identifier marked by 34 as shown in fig. 3e, and when the client identifier of the second client in the sharing window is selected, the terminal device may share the target interaction information indicated by the target information identifier displayed in the sharing window to the second client, that is, execute step S203. In one embodiment, the client identifier displayed in the sharing window is an identifier of a client identified by the terminal device and corresponding to the client identifier of the first client having a unified interface, that is, the client identifier displayed in the sharing window opens a right for receiving the interaction information shared by the first client for the first client, and if a certain client is the right for the first client to open to receive the shared interaction information, the terminal device will not display the identifier of the corresponding client in the sharing window, and after displaying the identifier of the client in the sharing window, the terminal device may share the target interaction information to the second client when the client identifier of the second client displayed in the sharing window is selected.

And S203, when the client identifier is selected, sharing the target interaction information indicated by the target information identifier to the second client.

The terminal device displays the client identifiers of other clients different from the operation platform of the first client in the sharing window, where the client identifiers of the other clients may include, for example, the identifier of the T video client, the identifier of the S video client, and the identifier of the Y video client, if the client identifier of the second client is the identifier of the T video client, the terminal device shares the target interaction information indicated by the target information identifier displayed in the sharing window to the T video client after determining that the selection identifier corresponding to the identifier of the T video client is selected, as shown in fig. 3f, and determines that the identifier of the T video client is selected, that is, the terminal device may determine that the client identifier of the second client is selected, and shares the target interaction information indicated by the target information identifier displayed in the sharing window to the second client. Further, after sharing the target interaction information to the second client, the terminal device may display the shared feedback information in the first client; if the target interaction information is successfully shared to the second client, feedback information of the successful sharing is displayed on the first client; if sharing the target interaction information to the second client fails, the feedback information of the sharing failure is displayed on the first client, wherein the displayed interface for successfully sharing the feedback information of the target interaction information may be an interface marked with 309 in fig. 3f, and the displayed feedback information of the sharing success may be an information marked with 35 in fig. 3 f.

In an embodiment, after determining that the client identifier of the displayed second client is selected from the sharing window, the terminal device may directly share the target interaction information to the second client, as shown in fig. 3f above, or the terminal device may also determine that the instruction for confirming the sharing is acquired from the sharing window after determining that the client identifier of the second client is selected, and further acquire the instruction for confirming the sharing from the sharing window, and then share the target interaction information to the second client, specifically, the terminal device may display the identifier for confirming the sharing in the sharing window, and determine that the instruction for confirming the sharing is acquired from the sharing window after the terminal device detects the selection operation for the identifier for confirming the sharing, so that the target interaction information may be shared to the second client. As shown in fig. 3g, when the selection identifier corresponding to the client identifier of the second client (i.e., the identifier of the T video client) is selected, the terminal device determines that the client identifier of the second client is selected, and shares the target interaction information to the second client (i.e., the T video client) after detecting the selection operation for confirming the sharing identifier. Similarly, after the target interaction information is successfully shared with the second client, the feedback information which is successfully shared can be displayed on the first client, and if the target interaction information is not successfully shared with the second client, the terminal device can not display the feedback information in the first client or display the feedback information which is not successfully shared with the second client. When the terminal device determines that the first client fails to share the target interaction information with the second client, the terminal device may redisplay the sharing interface to prompt the user to re-share the target interaction information with the first client, or in one embodiment, when the terminal device fails to share the target interaction information with the second client, the terminal device may also automatically re-share the target interaction information with the second client until the target interaction information is successfully shared with the second client.

In one embodiment, when the terminal device shares the target interaction information indicated by the target information identifier with the second client, the terminal device may first send the target interaction information indicated by the target interaction information to the blockchain network, so that the second client obtains the target interaction information from the blockchain network. Blockchain networks are a novel application model of computer technologies such as distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanisms, encryption algorithms, and the like. The blockchain (Blockchain) is essentially a de-centralized database, which is a string of data blocks that are generated in association using cryptographic methods, each of which contains information from a batch of network transactions for verifying the validity (anti-counterfeiting) of its information and generating the next block. The blockchain may include a blockchain underlying platform, a platform product services layer, and an application services layer. When each block in the blockchain is generated, when the node where the blockchain is positioned receives input information, checking the input information, after the checking is finished, storing the input information into a memory pool, and updating a hash tree used for recording the input information; and then updating the update time stamp to the time of receiving the input information, trying different random numbers, and calculating the characteristic value for a plurality of times, so that the calculated characteristic value can meet the requirement of a hash algorithm (such as SHA256 algorithm).

In one embodiment, when the terminal device shares the interaction information, the terminal device will first create a data table, for example, a t_user_shared data table, where the data table includes a plurality of fields, for example, an identity (id) field, a type (status) field, and a status (status) field, where the id field is used to store a user id (for example, a name of a user logging in to the first client, etc.), the type field is used to store a client identifier of the second client to be shared, for example, a name of the client, specifically, may be, for example, T video, S video, Y video, etc. in fig. 3e, where the status field is used to store whether the first client supports update synchronization of the interaction information, when the status field takes a value of 1, it indicates that the first client supports update synchronization of the interaction information, and when the status field takes a value of 0, it indicates that the first client does not support update synchronization of the interaction information. When a user inputs an information file corresponding to interaction information to be shielded at a first client, a file can be automatically generated under a/tmp directory to store the interaction information to be shielded, specifically, the interaction information can be, for example, a/tmp/{ user ID }/{ information file name md5 (a message digest algorithm) }, wherein the automatically created file is stored in json data format (a lightweight data format), and the storage format can be as follows:

{“name”:”xxxx”,

“values”:[“word1”,“word2”,“word3”,“word4”,“word5”,“word6”]}

After the user clicks the information sharing component in the information management interface, the first client sends a message to the global to inquire whether other clients support the sharing protocol of the interactive information, and when some other client (such as the second client) determines that the sharing protocol of the interactive information is supported, the client identifier of the corresponding client is displayed in the sharing window of the first client, such as the client identifier of the second client is displayed in the sharing window of the first client.

In the embodiment of the invention, the terminal equipment can display the information sharing component in the information management interface, so that the sharing window can be displayed after the information sharing component is selected, and the client identifier of the second client is displayed in the sharing window, so that when the client identifier of the second client is selected, the target interactive information indicated by the target information identifier to be shared and displayed in the sharing window is shared to the second client, the terminal equipment realizes cross-platform sharing of the interactive information, and the efficiency of shielding the interactive information of the user on the clients corresponding to different platforms can be improved. The information management interface can be displayed in the playing interface of the multimedia data, so that a user can manage the interactive information in the playing process of the multimedia data, and the flexibility of the terminal equipment in managing the interactive information is improved.
