 [25] Specific implementation

 [26] Referring to Figures 1(a) and (b), respectively, are examples of user interfaces presented in a method and apparatus for sharing an IM client device (referred to as an IM client in the specification). Figure 10

Indicates a shared area, 11 indicates a shared object, ₁₂ indicates a session window, 13 indicates a switch label, 14 indicates a shared object window, and an icon example indicated by 15 indicates a tool for operating a shared object.

 Referring to FIG. 2, illustrated by a plurality of IM clients 300 and with these IM clients 300

 A system capable of realizing sharing of objects constituted by the IM server 600 that communicates with each other.

 Referring to FIG. 3, in one embodiment, the IM client 300 can include a shared object initiation module 320 and a shared object window management module 330.

 [29] Shared Object Initiation Module 320 to IM Server 600

 Initiating a request to share an object, sending the local original shared object to the IM server 600

 The shared object window management module 330 is launched afterwards. The shared object initiation module 320 can also initiate the shared object window management module 330 based on a request from the IM server 600 to initiate the shared object.

[30] The shared object window management module 330 implements providing a shared object window to the IM client 300.

 , display the shared object in the shared object window 14

 In the middle, the user performs an operation on the displayed shared object, and the shared object 11 after being operated by the IM client 300 to which it belongs.

Referring again to FIG. 3, in one embodiment, the IM client 300 further includes a discussion group management module 310.

[32] Multiple IM

The users of the client can form a discussion group, and the members (users) in the discussion group can perform the actual conversation. And sharing of shared objects and /

 Or operation. The discussion group can include an administrator, who can be the initiator of the discussion group or other members of the discussion group. The discussion group management module 310 in the administrator's IM client 300 is multiple

The IM client 300 creates a discussion group and implements each IM in the discussion group.

 Client management, such as adding, deleting, etc. Discussion Group Management Module 310

 It is also possible to generate and manage a list of requests for requests for shared object operations issued by members of the discussion group, and to assign operational rights for each member, and/or to determine which members of the shared object are allowed to be updated.

 As shown in FIG. 4, the shared object window management module 330 includes a shared object window providing unit 331, a shared object operating unit 332, and a shared object updating unit 333.

 . In other examples, the shared object rights management unit 334 may also be included.

 . A request list management unit 335 may also be included in another example.

 [34] Shared object window providing unit 331 provides shared object window 14, and will share object 11

 Displayed in the shared object window 14. Shared object window providing unit 331

 The provided shared object window is in the session window provided by the session window management module 310.

 One side. Thus, the session window 12 and the shared object window 14 can be displayed simultaneously. Although only one shared object is shown in Figures 1(a) and (b), any number of shared objects may be included.

 [35] The shared object operation unit 332 can be configured to perform a user by, for example, FIG. 1(a), (b)

 The tools shown for sharing objects 15 pairs of shared objects 11

 The operations performed, such as editing, modifying, deleting, and so on.

 [36] The shared object update unit 333 can be configured to update the operated shared object 11 in the IM client to which it belongs. In an embodiment, the shared object update unit 333

 The operated shared object can also be transferred to the IM server 600 which will be described later, thereby updating each IM.

 The shared object in the shared object window of the client. The shared object can be initiated by the initiator of the discussion group or by other members of the discussion group.

[37] 1. As an example, the shared object displayed in the shared object window 14 11

It can be stored in a storage unit (not shown). The shared object update unit 333 can determine the shared object 11 currently displayed in the shared object window 14 every predetermined interval. Whether it is consistent with the shared object that the storage unit has stored. If not, the shared object in the storage unit is updated to the currently displayed shared object, and the updated shared object 11 is sent to the IM server 600 to update the shared object 11 among the other clients.

 This will be described in detail below:

 [38] As another example, the shared object update unit 333 may also set an operation flag for the shared object (flag

). This flag is set after the shared object is manipulated. Thus, by checking the operation flag corresponding to the shared object, it can be judged whether or not the shared object is operated. If so, the currently displayed shared object 11 is updated to the processed content.

 [39] There may be other ways, for example, the IM client 300 of the discussion group member

 The operation of the shared object 11 can be detected. If the member operates on the shared object 11 in the shared object window 14, the member's IM client 300 requests a connection with the IM server 600, thereby passing the operation of the current shared object 11 through the IM server 600.

 Reflected on the IM client 300 of other members of the discussion group.

 [40] The shared object window management module 330 may further include a request list management unit 334

 . In this case, the IM to which the shared object window management module 330 belongs

 The client's user can be used as an 'administrator'. Specifically, when an IM client 300

 The user of the discussion group is the administrator of the discussion group, and the request list management unit 334 of the IM client 300 can present the IM client 300 from other members of the discussion group.

 The request to occupy the shared object is added to the request list, and the plurality of IM clients 300

 The request is sorted. Sorting can be done, for example, in tandem with the request. Determine which IM is currently allowed based on the ordering

 The client occupies a shared object for operation. It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the request list management unit 334 is included in the IM client 300, but the request list management unit 334 may also be disposed in a server (for example, the IM server 600) in communication with the IM client 300. .

 [41] The shared object window management module 330 includes a shared object rights management unit 335

That is, the authority of the IM client 300 to which it belongs can be further controlled. For example, after the IM client 300 is allowed to operate the shared object, the shared object rights management unit 335 of the IM client 300 sets the shared object window 14 to an operable state; otherwise, it is set to a read-only state. [42] In addition, when the IM client 300 to which the shared object right management unit 335 belongs

 For the administrator, it can also be configured to be able to assign the IM client 300 of the other members of the discussion group to the operational rights of the shared object. When the administrator determines that the IM client 300 that is currently allowed to occupy the shared object, the IM server 600 is sent to carry the IM client 300.

 Unique user ID and message for discussion group ID. The IM server 600 then broadcasts the message to each of the IM clients 300 of the discussion group.

[43] When the IM client 300 in the discussion group receives the broadcast message, the shared object rights management unit

 335

 Determine whether the unique user ID in the message is consistent with its unique user ID. After determining that it is consistent, make sure that you are currently allowed to operate on the shared object. The IM client 300

 The shared object rights management unit 335 will have the IM client 300

 The shared object window is set to an operational state; otherwise, it is set to a read-only state.

 [44] FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing another configuration of the IM client 300. In this embodiment, IM client 300 includes, in addition to discussion group management module 310, shared object initiation module 320.

 And a shared object window management module 330, further including a session window management module 340

 . The discussion group management module 310, the shared object initiation module 320, and the shared object window management module 330 are the same as explained above, and therefore only the session window management module 340 is hereinafter.

 Be explained. The session window management module 340 can also be applied to the IM client of the above described embodiment.

 [45] The session window management module 340 provides a session window 12 for the IM client 300 (as shown in Figures 1(a) and (b)). User can go to the conversation window 12

 Enter characters, pictures, or any other content to communicate with other users.

[46] The session window management module 340 can be configured to enable the shared object window 14 and the session window 12 to be on different pages (only the shared object window 14 is shown in FIG. 1(a)).

 ). Thus, for example, the switching label 13 shown in Fig. 1 (a) can be used.

 (ie switching unit) to the session window 12 and the shared object window 14

 Switch. In addition, the session window 12 and the shared object window 14 can also be made.

Arranged on the same page, as shown in Figure 1 (b). This session window management module 340 There is no need to perform a window switch.

 Referring to FIG. 6, an embodiment of the IM server 600 includes a shared service module 630.

 . In other embodiments, a group service module 610 and a storage module 620 may also be included.

[48] The group service module 610 interacts with the IM client 300 to create a discussion group. When IM

 The client uses the IM client 300, as described above, and the group service module 610 interacts with the discussion group management module 310 of the IM client 300 to establish a discussion group.

[49] The storage module 620 stores the shared objects 11 uploaded by the respective IM clients 300. When an IM client

300 belongs to multiple discussion groups, storage module 620

 It is also possible to store the mapping relationship between the stored shared object and the discussion group identifier, thereby saving the correspondence between the shared object and the discussion group to which it belongs. The storage unit can also be implemented in the IM client 300 to implement the functions of the storage module 620.

 [50] In one embodiment, the storage module 620 can also associate individual IM clients to shared objects 11

 The events of previous operations are stored as history files, and each history file is assigned a corresponding identifier.

 [51] The shared service module 630 receives the boot shared object from the IM client 300 11

 Request, establish a connection with the IM client 300, and receive the shared object through the established connection

11 and sent to the storage module 620 for storage. Shared Services Module 630

 The request to initiate the shared object is also forwarded to each IM client 300 of the discussion group.

 And sending the received shared object to each IM client 300 of the discussion group.

 [52] The shared service module 630 can also be based on from the IM client 300

 The instruction to end the discussion sends the shared object stored in the storage module 620 to the IM client 300 that initiated the discussion group.

 [53] Some embodiments of the IM client and the IM server have been described above, and a method for realizing a plurality of IM client users to share an object will be described below with reference to Figs.

[54] See Figure 7, for multiple IM clients 300

 One embodiment of a method for a user to share an object is as follows:

[55] First, communication communication is established between a plurality of IM clients 300. The IM client 300 that communicates with each other can share the object by establishing a discussion group. This process can be as shown in steps S10-S20 in the figure. [56] In step S10, a certain IM client 300 is directed to the IM server 600.

 Apply to establish a discussion group. For example, an user A's IM client 300

 After successful login, a discussion group is created by interaction between its discussion group management module 310 and the group service module 610 of the IM server 600. The specific interaction steps will be described later in conjunction with FIG.

[57] In step S20, after the discussion group is successfully established, the IM client 300 of the initiator of the discussion group requests the IM server 600 to share the shared object 11 in the shared area 10 with other IM clients of the group. . The IM client 300 of the member of the discussion group performs the shared area 10

Initialization. The administrator of the discussion group (which may be the initiator, or a member of the discussion group) through the discussion group management module 310 of its _IM client ₃₀₀

 Assign different permissions to each member of the discussion group. The specific execution process will be described later with reference to FIG.

[58] Thereafter, users in the discussion group can pass their IM client 300

 The operation of at least one shared object is described below in conjunction with steps S30 and S40.

[59] In step S30, any member of the discussion group passes its IM client 300

 Start the application request that occupies the shared object to obtain the shared object 11

 Occupy. In addition, if multiple discussion group members have initiated a shared occupation request, the initiator of the discussion group (or the administrator of the discussion group) may also be IM.

 The client can be based on the permissions of different members, the order of the requests, and /

 Or urgency to coordinate and queue management of occupancy sharing. The specific execution process will be described later with reference to FIG.

 [60] In step S40, the occupied shared object is activated 11

 After the application request is approved, the IM client 300 of the member who initiated the request

 The shared object operation unit 332 realizes a specific operation on the shared object 11 in its shared object window 14, for example, editing, modifying, and partially deleting the shared object 11.

 [61] In step S50, the IM client 300 completes the sharing of the object 11

 The operation, and the shared object 11 after the operation is sent to the IM server 600. The IM server 600 updates the operated shared object 11 to the shared object window 14 of the other IM client.

 [62] The update can be performed as follows: Shared object update unit of IM client 300 333

The manipulated object is sent to the IM server 600. Shared service module 630 of IM server 600 The received shared object 11 is sent to the storage module 620 to update the original shared object 11 therein. The received shared object may also be stored in the storage module 620.

 New storage area. On the other hand, the shared service module 630 sends the updated shared object 11 to each IM client 300 of the discussion group, and updates its shared object 11 accordingly.

[63] The shared service module 630 can transmit the manipulated shared object 11 to other IMs in the discussion group other than the IM client 300 performing the operation.

 Client, can also send to all IM in the discussion group

 The client, or the shared object 11 after the operation is sent to a specific IM client in the group for updating according to the request of the client operating the object or the setting or control of the discussion group administrator.

Further, the above embodiment may further include step S60.

 [65] In step S60, when the current session and the operation of the shared object 11 are to be ended, the current shared object 11 may be saved only in the initiator's IM client 300, or may be saved in each IM of the discussion group member. The client 300 is either stored in the IM client 300 that is required to end the member of the session, or is the IM client 300 as an administrator.

 Medium (when the administrator is different from the initiator). The initiator or administrator can choose this. For example, if the IM client selected as the initiator is selected, the IM client 300 of any member is directed to the IM server 600.

 A request to end the discussion is sent, the request carrying an indication in the IM client 300 that holds the current shared object to at least one user in the discussion group. Based on the request, the IM server 600 transmits the current shared object stored by the storage module 620 to the initiator's IM client 300 for storage.

 [66] Optionally, in the above method, the IM server 600

 It can be set to save each operation event of the shared object as a history file. Each history file can be assigned an identifier. The discussion group initiator or a discussion group member who is authorized to view the history information may send a request for carrying the history file identifier to the IM server 600, and the IM server 600 receives the request, and according to the identifier in the received request, the shared object is A history file is updated to the IM client 300 of each discussion group member for discussion of each member of the group.

An example of the interaction process described in step S10 in FIG. 7 will be described below with reference to FIG. The IM client 300 and the IM server 600 described above For example, this should not be construed as limiting the invention.

 [68] In step S101, the discussion group management module 310 of the IM client 300 receives from the user A.

 Enter the request to initiate a discussion group. The request to initiate a discussion group may include recording a list of member information to be added to the discussion group (hereinafter referred to as 'member list') and the corresponding discussion group name.

 [69] In step S102, the discussion group management module 310

 Query if the same discussion group already exists in the local. If it already exists, the shared object window and/or the session window of the corresponding discussion group are displayed (step S103), otherwise the following steps are performed S104-S106

[70] In step S104, the discussion group management module 310 generates the user A including

 The discussion group of the subscriber number identification, the member list, and the discussion group name initiates the request, and sends the generated request to the IM server 600. As an example, the content of the generated request may be organized and encrypted in accordance with an agreed protocol (e.g., UDP protocol) format, and then transmitted to the IM server 600 using a socket specified by the protocol. In this case, the IM server 600

 First, the received request is decrypted and parsed according to the protocol.

 [71] In step S105, after receiving the initiation request, the IM server 600 is served by the group service module 610.

 A new discussion group number identifier is generated based on the user number and the member list in the received request. At the storage module 620

 Establishing a mapping relationship between the discussion group number identifier and the member list. Group Service Module 610 is also for User A

 The identity of the discussion group initiator (in this case, the identity of the administrator) is set, and the generated discussion group number identifier is sent to the IM client 300 of each member in the member list.

[72] S106: The IM client of the discussion group member receives the group service module 610

 After the returned discussion group identifier, the session window management module 340

 Provide a session window that corresponds to the group ID. In addition, the shared object window management module 330 can also be utilized to provide a shared object window corresponding to the group identification.

 And open the corresponding data storage area locally.

[73] Optionally, after establishing the session window, the session management module 310 may also send an acknowledgement message to the group service module 610. An example of the processing procedure of step S20 shown in Fig. 7 will be described below with reference to Fig. 9 .

[75] In step S201, the discussion group initiator is at its own IM client 300.

 The session window created in step S106 is displayed (for example, through a boot menu or a toolbar of its main window)

12 and the shared object window 14, and initiates a request to initialize the shared object 11 to the IM server 600. The request contains the discussion group ID and the application type (AppType)

 ). In the initial phase of startup, select the IM client of the discussion group initiator 300

 The local object file of the local shared object window 14 is shared object 11

 And sending the shared object to the IM server 600. Figure 1

 As shown in the figure, the original object file in this example is a picture file.

[76] In step S202, the IM server 600

 Accepting the request of the originator's client establishes, for example, a socket connection between the initiator's client and the server. Further, the IM server 600 utilizes the established connection from the IM client 300.

 The original shared object 11 is received and stored in the storage module 620. In IM

 In the case where the client has multiple discussion groups, the storage module 620

 The mapping relationship between the original object file and the discussion group identifier can also be stored.

[77] In step S203, the shared service module 630 of the IM server 600

 Forwarding the above request to initiate the initialization of the shared object to the IM client 300 of each member of the discussion group

. Each IM member client 300

 After receiving the request, according to the discussion group identifier and the application type included in the request (AppType sends a connection request to establish a shared service module 630 with the server. The shared service module 630 establishes respectively according to the discussion group identifier and the application type (AppType). Individual member's IM client

300 connections. Specifically, the shared service module 630

 Query the storage module 620 according to the discussion group identifier and application type included in the request.

 Whether the requested shared object exists in the 11

 Original file. If it exists, it is established separately with each member IM

 The connection between the clients; if not, the IM client 300 to each member

 Returns an error message.

[78] In step S204, the IM server 600 refers to the IM client 300 of each member of the discussion group. Broadcast the original shared object 11. After the IM client 300 of each member receives the byte stream of the original content of the shared object 11, the session window 12 corresponding to the discussion group identifier is opened.

And the shared object window ₁₄ is displayed, and the received shared object u is displayed in the shared object window ₁₄ .

 [79] Optionally, step S20

 It may also include the step of the discussion group initiator assigning different operational rights to the discussion group members. For example, User A

 Is a member of the discussion group who has the rights to the discussion group initiator. Other discussion group members have normal permissions. On the other hand, the administrator of the discussion group may not be the initiator.

An example of the process of step S30 in Fig. 7 will be described below with reference to Fig. 10.

[81] In step S301, any member of the discussion group passes through the IM server 600.

 IM client 300 to the initiator (or administrator) of the discussion group

 Sends an application request that initiates a shared object.

[82] In step S302, the initiator (or administrator)'s IM client 300

 After receiving the above request request, the request list management unit 335

 Add the request to the request list for queuing. In addition, the initiator (or administrator) can also prioritize a member based on the urgency of discussing group members in the session, so that the shared object can be prioritized.

 [83] In step S303, the request list management unit of the IM client of the discussion group initiator (or administrator) 335

 Poll the request list. When it is the turn of a member's request to occupy a shared object, a unique user ID (UIN) containing the member of the currently allowed operation is generated.

 And the message identifying the group identification, and the message is sent to the shared service module 630 of the IM server 600.

 [84] 1. In step S304, the shared service module 630

The message is forwarded to the IM client 300 of each member of the discussion group corresponding to the discussion group identifier. The shared object rights management unit 334 of each member's IM client 300 obtains the UIN of the member who currently obtains the operation authority from the message, and determines whether the UIN is consistent with the locally logged UIN. If they are consistent, the IM client 300 is determined. Get permission to operate on shared objects. Accordingly, the IM client 300

Shared object rights management unit ₃₃₄ makes it share object window ₁₄

 Becomes an 'operable' state. Otherwise, the shared object window 14 of the IM client 300 is in a 'read only' state (which can be used as the default state).

 The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection of the present invention. Within the scope.
