detailed description

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While the embodiments of the present invention have been shown in the drawings, the embodiments Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be more fully understood and the scope of the disclosure will be fully disclosed.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for message reminding according to a first embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes:

Step S101: The plug-in registers a message reminding event and an operation interface with the client.

In the present application, a plug-in refers to an application that is installed in a main program of a terminal device and has a certain supplementary function, including but not limited to: various plug-ins of a browser, a chat software client plug-in, and a virtual machine desktop. Plugins, email alert plugins, and other plugins with message alerting. A client is a program that provides local services to customers when installed in a terminal device. Here, the terminal device may include: an electronic computer, a tablet computer, a mobile phone, and other devices capable of networking. The above client is operated by a call of a main program, which is called a caller of the client, and includes but is not limited to: a browser, a chat software client, a virtual machine desktop client, or a mail client, that is, the above The software has the right to call the client.

Step S102: When the client receives the notification message of the registered message reminding event sent by the server, the client sends a return message of the message reminding event to the plug-in, and the plug-in displays the message reminding information according to the returned information.

On the server side, when a message reminder event is triggered, for example, when a webpage application or webpage data changes, the server sends a notification message to the terminal device to notify that the message reminder event is triggered; when the client installed by the terminal device receives the notification message, The client determines whether it is a notification message of the registered message reminding event according to the registered message reminding event; if yes, it indicates that the registered message reminding event is triggered, and the client sends the return information of the message reminding event from the server. The plug-in that registers the message reminding event; and the plug-in displays the message reminding information according to the returned information; the displaying the message reminding information specifically includes: displaying the message reminding information, popping up the reminding window, calling the sound file, and other reminding methods that can attract the user's attention.

Step S103: When the client receives the operation request sent by the plug-in, the client invokes the registered operation interface and responds to the operation request.

When the plugin needs to call the interface to communicate with the server, the plugin does not need to call its own interface, but sends an operation request to the client, and the client calls the operation interface provided by the client registered by the client, and then performs the operation with the server. Communicate and complete user-based plugin-based operations.

In the message reminding method of the first embodiment of the present application, by providing a client between the server and the plug-in, the client uniformly sends a reminder message from the server to each plug-in for processing, and the client provides the plug-in for each plug-in. The universal operation interface facilitates communication between the plug-in and the server, thereby solving the problem that the prior art message reminding method lacks scalability on the platform, which leads to a complicated upgrade problem. When you need to upgrade the message reminder function, you do not need to upgrade for each plug-in, only the client can be upgraded. Moreover, the client-based message reminding method has little influence on the program architecture, and the program modification can be performed only on the client side, and it is not necessary to change the program of each plug-in.

2 shows a flow chart of a method for message reminding according to the second embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 2, before the plug-in registers a message reminding event and an operation interface with the client, the client needs to be started first. Specifically, the startup client can have three startup modes, which are step S211, step S212, and step S213, respectively.

Step S211, when the plug-in is started, the client is started;

Step S212: When the caller of the client starts, start the client;

Step S213, the plug-in queries the handle of the client's message window; when the plug-in does not query the handle of the client's message window, the client is started.

Through the above startup mode, the client can be started before the plug-in works, so that the plug-in can process the message reminder through the client. The above three startup modes mainly describe the timing of starting the client. The application is not limited to the above three startup modes, and other startup modes may be set according to requirements.

Further, after the client is started in step S211, step S212 or step S213, the method in this embodiment further includes:

Step S221: The client broadcasts a registration request to each plug-in, so that each plug-in responds to the registration request and performs registration of the message reminding event and the operation interface.

Through the above broadcast mode, after the client is started, the plug-in can register the message reminding event and the operation interface by broadcasting, so as to prevent the plug-in from being missed by the client. The plug-in of the present application registers the message reminder event and the operation interface with the client not only based on the above broadcast mode.

Step S201: The plug-in registers a message reminding event and an operation interface with the client.

The message reminding events include but are not limited to: receiving new reminders, modifying the account list, setting changes, and adding new accounts; the operation interfaces include but are not limited to: opening the uniform resource locator operation interface, the automatic login form operation interface, and the automatic login unified Resource locator operation interface, pop-up window operation interface.

Step S202: When the client receives the notification message of the registered message reminding event sent by the server, the client sends a return message of the message reminding event to the plug-in, and the plug-in displays the message reminding information according to the returned information.

Wherein, when the message reminding event includes receiving a new reminder, the return information includes: an account identifier and an account information; when the message reminding event includes the account list being modified, the return information includes: an account identifier, an account information, and a number of new messages; The message reminding event includes setting change, the return information includes: setting change information; when the message reminding event includes adding a new account, the return information includes: an account ID and account information of the new account.

The account information includes at least one of the following: a display name, an avatar file, and signature information;

Step S203: When the client receives the operation request sent by the plug-in, the client invokes the registered operation interface and responds to the operation request.

When the operation interface includes the operation of the uniform resource locator operation interface, the step includes: when the client receives the open uniform resource locator operation request sent by the plug-in, the client invokes the registered open resource locator operation interface. And opening a Uniform Resource Locator (URL, Uniform Resource Locator) in response to opening the Uniform Resource Locator operation request;

When the operation interface includes an automatic login form operation interface, the step specifically includes: when the client receives the automatic login form operation request sent by the plug-in, the client invokes the registered automatic login form operation interface and opens a new window, and loads a new window. Blank hypertext markup language information, fill in the form content into the hypertext markup language information and submit in response to the automatic login form operation request;

When the operation interface includes the automatic login uniform resource locator operation interface, the step specifically includes: when the client receives the automatic login uniform resource locator operation request sent by the plug-in, the client invokes the registered automatic login uniform resource locator operation. The interface automatically logs in to the uniform resource locator in response to the automatic login of the uniform resource locator operation request;

When the operation interface includes a pop-up operation interface, the step specifically includes: when the client receives the pop-up window request sent by the plug-in, the client invokes the registered pop-up operation interface and pops up the window in response to the pop-up request.

The second embodiment of the present application can receive the return information of such a message reminding event by the client when the new reminder, the account list is modified, the setting change, the new account is triggered, and the message reminding event is triggered. And send the return information to the appropriate plugin that registered for this type of message reminder event. In the case of a unified summary message reminding event on the client side, the system integration is improved, and the scalability of the program is further improved. Moreover, the message reminder program structure for receiving reminders, such as new reminders, account list changes, setting changes, adding new accounts, etc., has little influence.

The following is a brief introduction to the scheme of the plugin registration message reminding event through several specific examples.

Example 1, the plugin includes an email reminder plugin

The email reminder plugin registers a message reminder event that receives a new reminder on the client, such as registering an OnMailReceived event, when the client detects an OnMailReceived event sent by the server. When the notification message is sent, the client sends the return information of the OnMailReceived event, such as the account ID AccountID and the account information AccountData, and the account number Count to the email reminder plugin; the email reminder plugin receives the new reminder message according to the return information of the OnMailReceived event. Remind events to display, such as display name, avatar file, signature information, etc.;

Example 2, the plugin includes a browser microblogging plugin

The browser's Weibo plugin is used to register the account list with the modified message reminder event, such as registering the OnSinaAccountChanged event. When the client detects the notification message of the OnSinaAccountChanged event sent by the server, the client will return the OnSinaAccountChanged event, such as an account. The identifier, the account information, the number of new messages, and the number of accounts are sent to the browser microblog plug-in; the browser microblog plugin displays the message reminder event whose account list is modified according to the return information of the OnSinaAccountChanged event, and the account list is modified. Account information of the account, such as display name, avatar file, signature information, etc., and the number of new messages;

Example 3, the plugin includes a virtual machine desktop plugin

The guest plug-in of the virtual machine desktop registers the message reminder event of the setting change on the client, for example, registering the OnRenrenSettingChanged event. When the client detects the notification message of the OnRenrenSettingChanged event sent by the server, the client returns the information of the OnRenrenSettingChanged event - setting change The information is sent to the plugin of the virtual machine desktop; the plugin is set according to the return information of the OnRenrenSettingChanged event, for example, the reminder only in the reminder message type list RemainType, the person plugin is set to only remind the fresh Things to show the corresponding news of the new things;

Example 4, the plugin includes the browser everyone plugin

The browser's everyone plug-in registers with the client to add a new account's message reminder event, such as registering the OnRenrenAccountAdded event. When the client detects the notification message of the OnRenrenAccountAdded event sent by the server, the client will return the OnRenrenAccountAdded event, such as a new account. The account ID and account information are sent to the browser plug-in; the guest plug-in displays the message reminder event of adding a new account according to the return information of the OnRenrenAccountAdded event, such as display name, avatar file, signature information and the like.

Of course, browser plug-ins, chat software client plug-ins, virtual machine desktop plug-ins, email reminder plug-ins, and other plug-ins with message reminders can register to receive new reminders, account list changes, settings changes, add new accounts and other message reminders. The events, the specific embodiments of the present application are not listed, but the application is not limited thereto.

Moreover, in the message reminding method of the second embodiment of the present application, the client uniformly provides an operation interface for opening a uniform resource locator operation interface, an automatic login form operation interface, an automatic login uniform resource locator operation interface, and a pop-up window operation interface. On the one hand, the plug-in can save the corresponding interface. On the other hand, when the system is upgraded, only the corresponding interface can be upgraded on the client side, and no interface upgrade is required for each plug-in. Moreover, the message reminder program framework for opening the interface of the uniform resource locator operation interface, the automatic login form operation interface, the automatic login uniform resource locator operation interface, and the pop-up window operation interface has little influence.

The following describes the scheme of the plug-in registration operation interface through several specific examples.

Example 1, after the plugin registers with the client to open the URL operation interface, the request for opening the URL is opened by calling the XML node OpenURL response plugin. The OpenURL node includes: an action name OpenURL, a session identifier SessionID, and URL information, and may further include: account information and cookie information. When the plugin requests to open the URL, the client invokes the registered open URL operation interface, performs an action in the open URL operation interface, and feeds back the return value of the open URL operation to the caller of the client, such as a browser; wherein, the URL operation The return value includes the FrameID of the URL, and the client returns the return value of the URL operation according to the caller's window handle feedback.

Example 2: After the plugin registers the automatic login form operation interface with the client, it responds to the plugin's automatic login form request by calling the XML node AutoLoginWebForm. The AutoLoginWebForm node includes: an action name AutoLoginWebForm, a session identifier SessionID, an account name, and may also include: a form content, such as a special character of a CDATA field. When the plugin requests an automatic login form, the client invokes the automatic login form operation interface, performs an action in the automatic login form operation interface, and feeds back the return value of the automatic login form operation to the caller of the client, such as a virtual machine desktop client; The return value of the automatic login form operation includes the FrameID, and the client returns the return value of the automatic login form operation according to the caller's window handle.

Example 3: After the plugin registers the automatic login URL operation interface with the client, it responds to the plugin's automatic login URL request by calling the XML node AutoLoginURL. AutoLoginURL node The method includes: an action name AutoLoginURL, a session identifier SessionID, and URL information, and may further include: a script code (JS) that needs to be executed in the URL.DocumentComplete event. When the plugin requests an automatic URL, the client invokes an automatic login URL operation interface, performs an action in the automatic login URL operation interface, and feeds back the return value of the automatic login URL operation to the caller of the client, such as a chat software client; The return value of the automatic login form operation includes the FrameID where the URL is located, and the client returns the return value of the automatic login URL operation according to the caller's window handle.

Example 4: After the plug-in registers the automatic pop-up operation interface with the client, it responds to the plug-in automatic pop-up request by calling the XML node PopupWindow. The PopupWindow node includes: an action name PopupWindow, a session identifier SessionID, and may also include: plug-in type data, such as information indicating the identity of the plug-in: mail, microblog, everyone, and the like. When the plugin requests an automatic popup window, the client invokes an automatic popup window operation interface, performs an action in the automatic popup window operation interface, and pops up the window in response to the plugin request.

Further, the method of the second embodiment of the present application, wherein the client has a sharing interface, the method further includes:

Step S204: When the plug-in issues the sharing information, the plug-in invokes the sharing interface, and distributes the sharing information to the network through the sharing interface; the sharing information includes but is not limited to: text, a picture, a uniform resource locator, and an initialization file. The initialization file includes: text, picture, title, sharing setting information, prompt information, and sharing success return information, which is file data containing more rich content.

Through the above step S204, the client can share the network information providing interface for the user, integrate the interface of the network sharing operation of the different plug-ins, and provide the interface of the network sharing operation through the client, thereby improving the program scalability of the sharing operation function. Moreover, the program architecture of network sharing operations has little impact.

For example, when the plug-in includes a microblog plug-in or a personal plug-in, the micro-blog plug-in can publish the micro-blog and other sharing information according to the user's network sharing operation, and the plug-in can publish the sharing information such as “new things” according to the user's network sharing operation. Take the microblogging plugin as an example. The microblogging plugin does not need to use the interface of its own plugin. It only needs to register the sharing interface on the client. When the user triggers the network sharing operation, the microblogging plugin sends a request, and the client calls the client. The sharing interface enables the user to complete the network sharing operation through the sharing interface of the client. For example, the shared initialization file is: "Share: Ini=C:\temp\test1.ini", which is stored by calling the 'C:\temp\' location through the sharing interface. The "test1.ini" initialization file is parsed and sent to the network side through the client to complete the user's network sharing operation.

Further, the foregoing step 204 specifically includes: when the plugin issues the sharing information, the plugin invokes the sharing interface, and opens a new popup window overlying the sharing information input window of the plugin; when the popup window receives the sharing information input by the user When sharing, the shared information is posted to the network according to the type of plug-in.

Through the above steps, the pop-up window of the client replaces the original sharing information input window of the plug-in, so that the pop-up window is suspended on the sharing information input window, thereby facilitating the user to input the result of the network sharing operation into the sharing interface of the client, instead of Enter the original interface to the plugin. The client finds the handle of the plug-in sharing information input window, and the pop-up window is overlaid on the sharing information input window according to the handle.

Further, the method of the second embodiment of the present application further includes:

Step S205: The plug-in cancels the message reminding event to the client, and is used to cancel the function of the client sending the return information of the message reminding event to the plug-in;

Step S206: The plug-in cancels the operation interface to the client, and is used to cancel the function of the client to invoke the operation interface.

Through the above steps S205 and S206, the plug-in can be caused to cancel the message reminding event and the operation interface according to the operation of the user, and provide the user with various options.

Further, FIG. 3 shows a flow chart of inter-process communication according to the second embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 3, wherein the interaction between the plug-in and the client is through inter-process communication (IPC, Inter-Process). Communication) processing; in the process of inter-process communication, the plug-in is the sender and the client is the receiver, or the plug-in is the receiver and the client is the sender. The steps of the inter-process communication include:

Step S231, the sender establishes a memory mapping file;

Step S232: The sender writes the sending data to the memory mapping file.

Step S233: The sender sends a read message to the receiver.

Step S234: When the receiving party receives the read message, the receiver reads the sending data from the memory mapping file.

Step S235: The receiver sends a read completion message to the sender.

Step S236: When the sender receives the read completion message, the sender releases the memory map file.

The method of the second embodiment enables the client and the plug-in to directly access the shared data through the shared memory in the framework of the inter-process communication, thereby improving the communication efficiency between the plug-in and the client, and saving the system operation under the client-based message reminding mode. Resources, improve the speed of operation. The problem of waste of resources and low running speed caused by the client separately establishing a separate data storage area relative to the plug-in is avoided.
