The names of messages or information exchanged between multiple devices in the embodiments of the present disclosure are only illustrative, and are not intended to limit the scope of the messages or information.

Reference is made toFIG.1, which shows a flow chart of an interaction method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown inFIG.1, the interaction method includes the following steps101to103.

In step101, in response to detecting a predefined group member addition operation, one or more organization identity is displayed.

In the embodiment, an executing body (such as a terminal device and/or a server) of the interaction method may display an organization identity in response to detecting a predefined group member addition operation.

In the embodiment, the group member addition operation may be understood as an operation of displaying candidate objects that may be added to a group before adding a group member. That is, the group member addition operation may indicate a candidate to-be-added object for a first group.

How to perform the group member addition operation may be configured according to actual application scenarios.

As an example, a group conversation interface may include a group member addition control. A trigger operation for the group member addition control may be understood as the group member addition operation.

As an example, a user interface of an instant messaging application may display a group generation control. A trigger operation for the group generation control may be understood as the group member addition operation.

In the embodiment, the organization identity may indicate an organization structure. Due to that an organization structure may generally be represented as a tree like structure, the organization structure may also be referred to as an organization structure tree. The organization structure tree may be a group form of an organization generated by an enterprise-end (B-end) user. In an embodiment, the organization identity may include but is not limited to one of: an organization name, an organization code, and an organization icon.

In the embodiment, the organization structure may include organization members. As an example, a company A may include a department A and a department B. The department A may include 10 organization members. The department B may include 5 organization members. The organization structure corresponding to the company A may include the organization structure (including 10 organization members) of the department A and the organization structure (including 5 organization members) of the department B.

In step102, based on a selection operation for the organization identity, a group member unit for a first group is determined.

In the embodiment, the executing body may determine a group member unit of a first group based on a selection operation for the organization identity.

The first group may be a group to which the user added a group member. The first group may be a generated group or a group being generated.

The user may perform a selection operation on the organization identity, and determines an organization, indicated by a selected organization identity, as the group member unit of the first group.

The group member unit may indicate a user unit to be added to the group. The group member unit may be a management unit for managing first group members in the first group. That is, the group member unit may be understood as a unit for managing users. The users may be added, deleted, or updated in batches with the group member unit as the unit.

In some application scenarios, the group member unit may include but is not limited to: a user, a group, and an organization.

In step103, based on the determined group member unit, the first group is generated.

In the embodiment, the executing body may generate the first group based on the determined group member unit.

In the embodiment, the first group members may be users in the group. It should be understood that the members in a group may include users such as a user Zhang San or a user Li Si.

In the embodiment, the first group members of the first group may include organization members associated with the group member unit. The first group members may be determined based on the group member unit. That is, organization members in the determined group member unit (such as an organization structure) may be determined as the first group members.

A group may be generated by, but not limited to, performing at least one of: adding a new member to a generated group, and generating a new group with the determined first group member as elements.

It should be noted that with the interaction method according to the embodiment, in response to detecting a group member addition operation, an organization identity is displayed; then the user may select an organizational identity to determine a group member unit; and then, based on the determined group member unit, first group members are determined, and a group may be generated or updated.

Thus, a new group generation mode is provided. In the new group generation mode, the user may select an organization, and then add the organization, as a group member unit, to a first group. That is, group members are added with an organization as a unit. Therefore, organizations may be effectively integrated, and transaction communication may be coordinated among several organizations. For transactions required to be performed with an organization as a unit, communication efficiency can be improved.

In addition, group members may be added in bulk by selecting an organization, reducing operations due to individually selecting organization members, saving the user the number of operations and time required to select candidate users in generating a group, and improving operation efficiency.

Reference is made toFIG.2, which shows an exemplary application scenario of the interaction method according to the embodiment shown inFIG.1.FIG.2shows a group generation scenario in which the user selects group members for a to-be-generated group in an exemplary interface. In the interface shown inFIG.2, a search control201may be configured to search for a candidate member unit. In a first region202, the group member unit of the first group may be displayed. As an example, Zhang San displayed in the first region202may be a group member unit, Li Si displayed in the first region202may be a group member unit, and organization A displayed in the first region202may be a group member unit.

In the exemplary interface, candidate addition objects may be displayed. For example, an organization A identity203and an organization B identity206may be displayed.

As an example, a first expansion control204associated with the organization A identity203may be arranged, and a first expansion control205associated with the organization A identity205may be further arranged. A second expansion control207associated with an organization B identity206may be arranged, and a second expansion control208associated with the organization B identity206may be further arranged.

In some embodiments, the step103may include an operation of adding all the organization members associated with the determined group member unit to the first group.

All the organization members of the determined group member unit may be determined as the first group members.

As an example, the determined group member unit may include the organization A. The organization A may include Zhang San and Li Si, so Zhang San and Li Si may be determined as the group members.

As an example, the determined group member unit may include the organization A and an organization C. In a case that both the organization A and the organization C include the user Zhang San, then Zhang San may be labeled as organization A and organization C, and then the user Zhang San is added to the first group as a member.

It should be noted that compared to selecting organization members one by one, with the operation of determining all the organization members of the group member unit as members of the first group, the efficiency of determining group candidate members can be improved.

In some embodiments, the step102may include an operation of establishing an association relationship between the selected organization identity and the first group. That is, an association relationship may be established between the group member unit of the first group and the first group.

In some embodiments, the method further includes: updating the first group members in the first group based on updating the organization members associated with the group member unit.

As an example, the first group may be associated with an organization identity A and an organization identity B. For the organization A as a group member unit of the first group, in a case that the organization members associated with the organization A are updated, the group members in the first group may be updated based on the updating of the organization members in the organization A.

That is, the organization A is added to the first group as a whole. In a case that a new organization member is added to the organization A or an organization member is deleted from the organization A, the first group may be updated based on the updating of the organization members in the organization A.

It should be noted that in a case that the organization members in the group member unit change, the first group may be automatically updated, thereby automatically updating the first group, omitting the step of manually adjusting the first group members in the case that the organization members change, and improving the accuracy of the first group members. Furthermore, the barrier mentality of manually kicking a user out of a group is avoided, and consistency between the group members and the organizational members is ensured through technical means, improving the accuracy of group members.

In some embodiments, the step of updating the first group members in the first group based on updating the organization members associated with the group member unit may include: in response to adding an organization member to the organization members associated with group member unit, determining the added organization member as a first group member of the first group.

As an example, in a case that a new organization member Ma Ba is added to the organization A, Ma Ba may be added to the first group.

As an example, in a case that a new organization member Zhang San is added to the organization C, Zhang San may be determined as a group member, and then it is determined whether Zhang San is already in the first group. In a case that Zhang San is not in the first group, Zhang San may be determined as a group member. In a case that Zhang San is already in the first group, it is unnecessary to add Zhang San to the first group.

It should be noted that when adding a new member to an organization, the group members in the first group are synchronously updated, automatically updating the first group based on the newly added member in the organization.

In some embodiments, the step of updating the first group members in the first group based on updating the organization members associated with the group member unit may include: in response to deleting an organization member from the organization members associated with group member unit, determining whether to delete the deleted organization member from the first group based on the group member unit of the first group associated with the reduced organization member.

As an example, in a case that the user Zhang San is deleted from the organization A, it may be determined whether to delete Zhang San from the first group based on the group member unit, associated with Zhang San, of the first group.

It should be noted that when deleting a member from an organization, based on the group member unit associated with the deleted member, it may be determined from multiple perspectives whether to remain the deleted user, that is added to the first group in multiple modes, in the first group, avoiding a situation in which a user cannot be interacted with in the first group due to that the user has been deleted.

In some embodiments, the step of in response to deleting an organization member from the organization members associated with group member unit, determining whether to delete the deleted organization member from the first group based on the group member unit of the first group associated with the deleted organization member includes: in response to determining that the deleted organization member is associated with a remaining group member unit of the first group, retaining the deleted organization member in the first group.

As an example, Zhang San may be added to a group through the organization A and the organization C. In a case that Zhang San has been deleted from the organization A and Zhang San is still in the organization C, if the organization C is still a group member unit of the first group, Zhang San may be retained in the first group.

It should be noted that in a case that a deleted organization member is associated with a remaining group member of the first group, the deleted organization member is not deleted, avoiding a situation in which the deleted member is deleted from the first group while the deleted member is still in a group member unit of the first group. Thus, the accuracy of the group members in the first group is ensured.

In some embodiments, the step of in response to deleting an organization member from the organization members associated with group member unit, determining whether to delete the deleted organization member from the first group based on the group member unit of the first group associated with the deleted organization member includes: in response to determining that the deleted organization member is not associated with a group member unit of the first group, determining whether the deleted organization member is added to the first group in a first addition mode; in a case that the deleted organization member is added to the first group in the first addition mode, retaining the deleted organization member in the first group; and in a case that the deleted organization member is not added to the first group in the first addition mode, deleting the deleted organization member from the first group.

As an example, in a case that the organization C is no longer a group member unit of the first group, that is, Zhang San is not associated with a group member unit of the first group, it may be determined whether Zhang San is added to the first group in a first addition mode. In a case that Zhang San is not added to the first group in the first addition mode, Zhang San may be deleted from the first group.

It should be noted that in a case that a user is not added to a group in the first addition mode and does not belong to any group member unit of the first group, it indicates that it is unnecessary to keep the user in the first group. In this case, the user should be deleted from the first group, preventing information leakage from the first group.

It should be noted that in a case that a user does not belong to any group member unit of the first group and the user is added to the group in the first addition mode, it indicates, by the addition mode of the user, that even if the user is deleted from the organization, the user should still remained in the first group. Therefore, in this case, the user should be remained in the first group, avoiding inefficient information exchange in the first group due to the user being unable to participate in the first group.

In some embodiments, the step of in response to deleting an organization member from the organization members associated with group member unit, determining whether to delete the deleted organization member from the first group based on the group member unit of the first group associated with the deleted organization member includes: in response to deleting the organization member from the organization members associated with group member unit, determining whether the deleted organization member is added to the first group in a first addition mode; in a case that the deleted organization member is added to the first group in the first addition mode, retaining the deleted organization member in the first group; and in a case that the deleted organization member is not added to the first group in the first addition mode, determining whether to delete the deleted organization member from the first group based on the group member unit of the first group associated with the deleted organization member.

As an example, Zhang San is deleted from the organization A. Then, it may be determined whether Zhang San is added to the first group in a first addition mode. In a case that Zhang San is added to the first group in the first addition mode, Zhang San is remained in the first group. In a case that Zhang San is not added to the first group in the first addition mode, it is determined whether Zhang San is associated with an organization (such as organization C) in the first group.

Therefore, a step of comparing a deleted organization member with each of organization member units can be omitted, and it is quickly determined whether to delete the deleted organization member from the first group.

In some embodiments, the first addition mode in which a member is added to the first group includes at least one of: a mode in which a member is added to the first group based on selecting a user identity; and a mode in which based on selecting a second group identity, a second group member associated with the second group identity is added to the first group.

The mode in which a member is added to the first group based on selecting a user identity may be understood as adding a member to the first group in a single pulling mode. As an example, a current user may check the identity of Zhang San to add Zhang San to the first group.

The mode in which based on selecting a second group identity, a second group member associated with the second group identity is added to the first group may be understood as adding a member to the first group by selecting a group. As an example, a current user may check a second group identity, and then all members corresponding to the second group identity may be added to the first group.

It should be noted that adding a member to a group in the first addition mode may reflect diversity of adding users to the first group. The user, being added to the first group in multiple modes, may be necessary for the first group. Therefore, the first addition mode is verified to avoid mistakenly deleting an important first group member.

In some embodiments, the method further includes at least one of: determining a trigger operation for a group generation control as the group member addition operation; determining a new member search operation for a generated group as the group member addition operation; and determining a new member addition operation for the generated group as the group member addition operation.

The group generation control may be configured to initiate generating a group. When generating a group, it is necessary to select group members. Therefore, the trigger operation for the group generation control is determined as the group member addition operation, improving the efficiency of the user selecting group members for group generation and improving the speed of group generation.

The new member search operation for a generated group may be performed to trigger displaying a new member addition interface in an interface of the generated group. Then, the new member addition interface may display a search control. The search control is configured to search for a group candidate object. The user may enter an input, such as “Zhang San”, in the search control. Then, the user Zhang San may be displayed, or an organization identity, such as an organization identity A, associated with Zhang San may be displayed.

It should be noted that an organization identity is displayed in performing the new member search operation, then the user may be provided with rich and accurate group candidate objects, omitting a step for the user to search for an object to be added to the first group, and improving the speed and accuracy of determining group members for the first group.

A new member addition interface may be displayed in the interface of the generated group, and the new member addition interface may display the organization identity. Therefore, it is convenient for the user to add group members with an organization as a unit based on the organization identity, omitting a step for the user to search for an object to be added to the first group.

In some embodiments, the method may further include: displaying an organization member identity associated with the organization identity; and in response to detecting a selection operation for the organization member identity, determining a selected organization member as a group candidate member.

An organization member identity associated with the organization identity may be selected. Then, an organization member may be directly determined as a group candidate member.

Reference is made toFIG.3, which shows a schematic diagram of selecting an organization member. The user may perform a click operation on a second display control shown inFIG.2. Then, an interface as shown inFIG.3may be displayed. InFIG.3, a folding control301and an organization member display region302may be displayed. In the organization member display region302, organization members, such as Wang Wu, Zhao Liu, and Qian Qi, of the organization B may be displayed. In addition, Wang Wu may be associated with a display selection control, Zhao Liu may be associated with a display selection control, and Qian Qi may be associated with a display selection control. As an example, the user may determine Wang Wu as a group member. In a group member unit display region shown inFIG.3, an identity of the user Wang Wu may be displayed.

It should be noted that the organization member identity is displayed, and then the organization member is selected, thus a single user in an organization is pulled to a group. Therefore, in a case that the current user expects to pull a user from the organization to the group to participate discussion and the user is not a friend listed in the address book of the current user, the organization member is displayed, and then the user is pulled to the group, omitting a step for the current user to add the user as a friend and then pull the user to the group, thereby improving the speed of adding a group member to the group.

In some embodiments, the step103may include at least one of: generating the first group; and adding a new first group member to the generated first group.

In generating a new group, an organization identity is displayed, and the group is generated based on determined group members, thereby realizing rapid group generation.

In adding a new member to a generated group, an organization identity is displayed, and determined group members are added to the generated group, thereby quickly adding a member of the organization structure to the generated group, and improving the information exchange efficiency of the generated group.

In some embodiments, the step101may include the process shown inFIG.4.

As shown inFIG.4, the process shown inFIG.4may include the following steps401,402, and403.

In step401, an organization identity of an organization to which a current user belongs is obtained.

The current user may be a user that logs in to an instant application.

In step402, it is determined whether the current user has a first permission based on permission configuration information associated with the obtained organization identity.

The permission configuration information indicates an organization member having the first permission in an organization.

The form of the permission configuration information may be configured according to actual application scenarios. For example, the permission configuration information may include at least one of: a blacklist and a whitelist. The blacklist includes users not having the first permission. The whitelist includes users having the first permission.

The first permission indicates a permission for adding the organization to a group.

The permission configuration information may be configured by a user in charge of the organization. The permission configuration information may correspond to an organization to which the organization belongs. As an example, the company A includes a department B, and permission configuration information associated with the department B may be permission configuration information configured by a manager of the company A.

In step403, the organization identity is displayed based on the first permission of the organization to which the current user belongs.

It should be noted that the organization identity is displayed based on the first permission of the current user, avoiding abuse of the function of adding the organization to the first group, and realizing risk control for the information security of the first group.

In some embodiments, the permission configuration information may be generated by performing configurations.

In some embodiments, the configurations may include: displaying a permission configuration page corresponding to the organization identity; and based on a selection operation for the group addition option, generating the permission configuration information corresponding to the organization identity.

The permission configuration page may include a group addition option. The group selection option may include at least one of: an everyone option, an organization leader option, an unmanned option, and a custom person option.

The everyone option may indicate that everyone has the first permission. The organization leader option may indicate that an organization leader has the first permission. The unmanned option may indicate that no member of the organization has the first permission. The custom person option is configured to define a specific person having the first permission.

As an example, after the custom personnel option is triggered, a selection control is provided for the user to select a specific person, so that the user may specify a specific person having the first permission.

It should be noted that by displaying the group addition option, the user may perform selection on the group addition option to configure permission, improving the convenience of configuring permission information and realizing rapid configuration and generation of permission configuration information.

In some embodiments, the configurations may include: displaying at least one of a blacklist region and a whitelist region.

The blacklist region is configured to display an identity of an organization member not having the first permission selected by the user.

The whitelist region is configured to display an identity of an organization member having the first permission selected by the user.

In some embodiments, the step of generating the permission configuration information corresponding to the organization identity based on a selection operation for a group addition option by: determining the permission configuration information based on at least one of: the selection operation for the group addition option, the identity of the organization member displayed in the blacklist region, and the identity of the organization member displayed in the whitelist region.

In an embodiment, in a case that the everyone option is selected, a blacklist function may be opened, that is, the user may input in the blacklist region; and in a case that the organization leader option or the unmanned option is selected, a whitelist function may be opened, that is, the user may input in the whitelist region.

In an embodiment, solutions for some conflict scenarios may be determined based on the group addition option and the priorities of the blacklist and the whitelist.

For example, in a case that the whitelist includes Zhang San and the unmanned option of the group addition option is selected, Zhang San may have the first permission if the whitelist has a high priority, and Zhang San may not have the first permission if the group addition option has a high priority.

For example, in a case that the blacklist includes Zhang San and the everyone option of the group addition option is selected, Zhang San may not have the first permission if the blacklist has a high priority, and Zhang San has the first permission if the group addition option has a high priority.

It should be noted that based on the group addition option and the blacklist and the whitelist, the permission configuration information is generated, conveniently and quickly configuring the permission configuration information, supplementing users that are missed by using the group addition option, improving the degree of compatibility between the configured first permission and actual requirements, and thereby improving the accuracy of the generated permission configuration information.

In some embodiments, the step403may include: displaying the organization identity of the organization to which the current user having the first permission belongs, and displaying a selection control corresponding to the organization identity.

The organization identity of the organization to which the current user having the first permission belongs and the selection control corresponding to the organization identity are displayed, showing the user a concise organization identity range, avoiding consuming display resources, facilitating the user performing selection in the concise organization identity range, and improving selection efficiency.

In some embodiments, the displaying the organization identity based on the first permission of the organization to which the current user belongs includes: displaying the organization identity of the organization to which the current user belongs, where the displayed organization identity includes at least one of: the organization identity of the organization for which the current user has the first permission and the organization identity of the organization for which the current user does not have the first permission; displaying a selection control corresponding to the organization identity of the organization for which the current user has the first permission; and for the organization identity of the organization for which the current user does not have the first permission, prompting, a predefined prompt mode, the current user does not have a permission to add an organization member associated with the organization identity to the group.

For the organization identity of the organization for which the current user has the first permission, the associated selection control may be displayed, thereby realizing the user selecting an organization.

For the organization identity of the organization for which the current user does not have the first permission, the current user may be prompted, in a predefined prompt mode, that the current user does not have the first permission.

It should be noted that the two organization identities of the organizations (for which the current user has the first permission and does not have the first permission respectively) are displayed differently, the user displaying the organization identity of the organization to which the user belongs, providing the user with an organization identity range, and prompting the user the permission on the organization identity for which the user does not have the first permission in the predefined prompt mode.

In some embodiments, the prompt mode includes at least one of: a mode in which the organization identity of the organization for which the current user does not have the first permission and the organization identity of the organization for which the current user has the first permission are distinguishably displayed in a predefined displaying mode; and a mode in which in response to detecting a triggering operation for the organization identity of the organization for which the current user does not have the first permission, prompting information is displayed.

For example, the organization identity of the organization for which the current user does not have the first permission is displayed in a grayed out display mode, distinguishing from the organization identity of the organization for which the current user has the first permission.

The prompt information indicates at least one of: that the current user does not have the permission to add an organization member associated with the organization identity to the group, that the current user has the permission to select an organization member and add the organization member to the group, and that the current user has a permission to apply for the first permission.

It should be noted that with the operation of distinguishably displaying the two organization identities of the organizations (for which the current user has the first permission and does not have the first permission respectively), the user displays the organization identity of the organization to which the user belongs, the user is provided with the organization identity range, and the user is prompted that the user cannot perform an operation on the organization identity for which the user does not have the first permission in the predefined displaying mode. In addition, in a case that the user, after knowing the organization to which the user belongs, wants to add the organization, for which the user does not have the first permission, to the first group, the user may apply for a permission in various ways, avoiding the confusion of the user about whether an error occurs in the application when the user wants to add an organization, to which the user belongs, to the first group and does not see an organization identity corresponding to the organization in displayed organization identities.

It should be noted that for the organization identity for which the current user does not have the first permission, the user may be prompted to select an organization member. For example, after an organization identity for which the current user does not have the first permission is triggered, the user is prompted that the user may select an organization member, thus the current user may add an expected organization member to the first group, ensuring the efficiency of information exchange in the first group.

It should be noted that for the organization identity for which the current user does not have the first permission, the current user may be prompted to apply for the first permission to the user having a permission granting capability. For example, after an organization identity for which the current user does not have the first permission is triggered, the current user is prompted to apply for the first permission to the user having the permission granting capability, thereby providing a way for the current user to activate the first permission. Thus, the current user adds organization members associated with the organization identity to the first group in bulk through the first permission, thereby improving the addition efficiency.

In some embodiments, the step102may include: in response to detecting a selection operation for an organization identity and detecting an addition confirmation operation, displaying a confirmation control; and in response to detecting a triggering operation for the confirmation control, determining an organization corresponding to the confirmation control as the group member unit of the first group.

The confirmation control is configured to confirm to the user whether to add the organization indicated by the organization identity to the first group. As an example, the confirmation control may display “Please confirm again whether to add organization A to the first group”.

It should be noted that the confirmation control is displayed, so that it is required for the user to make a secondary confirmation of adding an organization to the first group, avoiding the user from mistakenly adding the organization to the first group, thereby avoiding interference with other organization members in the organization, and ensuring the accuracy of the members of the first group without information leakage.

In some embodiments, the method further includes: displaying a revocation control corresponding to an organization identity of the group member unit of the first group; in response to detecting a trigger operation for the revocation control, disassociating a group member unit corresponding to a trigger control and the first group; and updating the first group members of the first group based on the disassociated group member unit.

A revocation control corresponding to a group member and/or a group member unit may be displayed in a group member display interface of the first group. The revocation control is configured to for the user to delete the group member or the group member unit from the first group.

It should be noted that with the configuration of the revocation control, a group member unit in the first group may be deleted timely when it is not suitable to remain the group member unit in the first group, ensuring that the group member unit of the first group meets a timing situation of group members required by the first group, and improving the accuracy of the group members of the first group and the information security of the first group. In addition, in the case of the user mistakenly adding an organization to the first group, loss can be stopped timely by using the revocation control.

It should be noted that the revocation control is configured to correspond to the organization identity, the user may delete group members in bulk when the user want to reduce the number of the group members, avoiding the users deleting the group members one by one, and thereby improving the operation efficiency.

In some embodiments, the updating the first group members of the first group based on the disassociated group member unit includes: determining, for an organization member associated with the disassociated group member unit, whether the organization member is added to the first group in a first addition mode, or is associated with a group member unit of the first group, or is added to the first group in a first addition mode and is associated with a group member unit of the first group; in a case that the organization member is added to the first group in the first addition mode, or is associated with the group member unit of the first group, or is added to the first group in the first addition mode and is associated with the group member unit of the first group, retaining the organization member in the first group; and in a case that the organization member is not added to the first group in the first addition mode and is not associated with the group member unit of the first group, deleting the organization member from the first group.

As an example, the organization A corresponds to a displayed revocation control. In a case that the user triggers the revocation control corresponding to the organization A, the association between the organization A and the first group may be released, that is, the qualification of the organization A as a group member unit of the first group is cancelled. In the first group, a deletion operation may be performed on an organization member of the organization A. The deletion operation may include: determining whether to delete an organization member from the first group based on a condition such as whether the organization member further belongs to another organization or whether the organization member is added to the first group in a single pulling mode.

It should be noted that after the revocation operation, it is further determined whether to delete an organization member from the first group. For the user added to the first group in multiple modes, it is verified from multiple aspects whether it is still required to remain the user in the first group, avoiding a situation in which the user cannot be interacted with in the first group due to that the user has been deleted.

Reference is made toFIG.5, which shows a flow chart of an interaction method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown inFIG.5, the interaction method includes the following steps501and502.

In step501, in response to detecting a predefined group member addition operation, a group candidate object is displayed.

The group candidate object may include an object that may be added to the first group.

In the embodiment, the group candidate object may include a user group identity. The user group identity indicates a user set including at least two users.

In step502, based on a selection operation for the group candidate object, one or more selected user groups are determined, and a first group is generated based on the selected user groups.

In an embodiment, a group candidate object, such as a user group, selected by performing a selection operation may be determined as a group member unit of a first group. Then, group members of the user are determined as group members of the first group.

It should be noted that the user may select a group and then add the group, as a group member unit, to the first group. That is, group members are added with a group as a unit. Thus, groups may be effectively integrated, and transaction communication may be coordinated among several groups. For transactions required to be performed with a group as a unit, communication efficiency can be improved.

In addition, group members may be added in bulk by selecting a group, reducing operations due to individually selecting group members, saving the user the number of operations and time required to select candidate users in generating a group, and improving operation efficiency.

In some embodiments, at least two user group identities are selected. The step502may include: determining a union of users associated with the at least two selected user groups, and adding all users in the union to the first group.

As an example, a selected user group may include an organization A, an organization B, and a second group C. A union of users associated with the organization A, the organization B, and the second group C may be obtained. Then, all the users in the union are determined as first group members, thus the first group is generated.

It should be noted that the user union is determined based on multiple selected user groups, and then all the users in the union are added to the first group, avoiding duplicated users, avoiding a same user (such as a user A) from displaying multiple identity accounts (such as a user A in the organization A, a user A in the organization B, and a user A in the second group C) in the first group, avoiding confusion caused by displaying multiple identity accounts for a same user by the group members in the first group, improving the accuracy of the displayed information of the first group members, and thereby improving the efficiency of information exchange among the first group members.

In some embodiments, the user group identity may include at least one of: an organization identity and a second group identity.

The organization identity may indicate an organization structure.

The second group identity may indicate a group having a qualification to be added to a first organization.

The group includes an organization and/or a group. With the group, for various user sets of the current users, the user sets may be quickly added to the first group, improving the speed of adding group members to the first group.

In some embodiments, the step502includes: based on a selection operation for a group identity, determining a group indicated by the selection operation as a group member unit of the first group.

The group member unit is a management unit for managing first group members in the first group.

The group member unit may be a user unit to be added to the group. The group member unit may be a management unit for managing members in the first group. That is, the group member unit may be understood as a unit for managing users, and may add users or delete users in batches with the group member unit as a unit.

In some embodiments, the based on a selection operation for a group identity, determining a group indicated by the selection operation as a group member unit of the first group includes at least one of: based on detecting a selection operation for an organization identity, determining organization members associated with the organization identity as first group members of the first group; and based on detecting a selection operation for a second group identity, determining second group members associated with the second group identity corresponding to the selection operation as first group members of the first group.

As an example, the current user may select the organization A, the organization B, and the second group C. Thus, the organizations and the second group are mixed and added to the first group, performing information exchange between different types of groups, facilitating task collaboration and information exchange between different types of groups, thereby improving the efficiency of information exchange in the second group.

In some embodiments, the step of updating the first group members in the first group based on updating the group members associated with the group member unit may include: in response to adding a group member to the group members associated with group member unit, determining the added group member as a first group member of the first group.

As an example, in a case that a group member Ma Ba is added to a group A, Ma Ba may be added to the first group.

As an example, in a case that a group member Zhang San is added to a group C, Zhang San may be determined as a group member, and then it is determined whether Zhang San is already in the first group. If Zhang San is not in the first group, Zhang San may be determined as a group member. If Zhang San is already in the first group, it is unnecessary to add Zhang San to the first group.

It should be noted that when adding a new member to a group, the group members in the first group are synchronously updated, thereby automatically updating the first group based on the newly added member in the group.

In some embodiments, the step of updating the first group members in the first group based on updating the group members associated with the group member unit may include: in response to deleting a group member from the group members associated with group member unit, determining whether to delete the deleted group member from the first group based on the group member unit of the first group associated with the deleted group member.

As an example, in a case that a user Zhang San is deleted from a group A, it may be determined whether to delete Zhang San from the first group based on the group member unit of the first group associated with Zhang San.

It should be noted that when deleting a member from a group, based on the group member unit associated with the deleted member, it may be determined from multiple perspectives whether to remain the deleted user, that is added to the first group in multiple modes, in the first group, avoiding a situation in which a user cannot be interacted with in the first group due to that the user has been deleted.

In some embodiments, the step of in response to deleting an organization member from the organization members associated with group member unit, determining whether to delete the deleted organization member from the first group based on the group member unit of the first group associated with the deleted organization member includes: in response to determining that the deleted group member is associated with a group member unit of the first group, retaining the deleted group member in the first group.

As an example, Zhang San may be added to a group through the group A and the group C. In a case that Zhang San has been deleted from the group A and Zhang San is still in the group C, if the group C is still a group member unit of the first group, Zhang San may be retained in the first group.

It should be noted that in a case that a deleted group member is associated with a group member of the first group, the deleted group member is not deleted, avoiding a situation in which the deleted member is deleted from the first group while the deleted member is still in a group member unit of the first group. Thus, the accuracy of the group members in the first group is ensured.

In some embodiments, the step of in response to deleting a group member from the group members associated with group member unit, determining whether to delete the deleted group member from the first group based on the group member unit of the first group associated with the deleted group member includes: in response to determining that the deleted group member is not associated with a group member unit of the first group, determining whether the deleted group member is added to the first group in a first addition mode; in a case that the deleted group member is added to the first group in the first addition mode, retaining the deleted group member in the first group; and in a case that the deleted group member is not added to the first group in the first addition mode, deleting the deleted group member from the first group.

As an example, in a case that the group C is no longer a group member unit of the first group, that is, Zhang San is not associated with a group member unit of the first group, it may be determined whether Zhang San is added to the first group in a first addition mode. In a case that Zhang San is not added to the first group in the first addition mode, Zhang San may be deleted from the first group.

It should be noted that in a case that a user is not added to a group in the first addition mode and does not belong to any group member unit of the first group, it indicates that it is unnecessary to keep the user in the first group. In this case, the user should be deleted from the first group, preventing information leakage from the first group.

It should be noted that in a case that a user does not belong to any group member unit of the first group and the user is added to the group in the first addition mode, it indicates, by the addition mode of the user, that even if the user is deleted from the group, the user should still remained in the first group. Therefore, in this case, the user should be remained in the first group, avoiding inefficient information exchange in the first group due to the user being unable to participate in the first group.

In some embodiments, the step of in response to deleting a group member from the group members associated with group member unit, determining whether to delete the deleted group member from the first group based on the group member unit of the first group associated with the deleted group member includes: in response to deleting the group member from the group members associated with group member unit, determining whether the deleted group member is added to the first group in a first addition mode; in a case that the deleted group member is added to the first group in the first addition mode, retaining the deleted group member in the first group; and in a case that the deleted group member is not added to the first group in the first addition mode, determining whether to delete the deleted group member from the first group based on the group member unit of the first group associated with the deleted group member.

As an example, Zhang San is deleted from the group A. Then, it may be determined whether Zhang San is added to the first group in a first addition mode. In a case that Zhang San is added to the first group in the first addition mode, Zhang San is remained in the first group. In a case that Zhang San is not added to the first group in the first addition mode, it is determined whether Zhang San is associated with a group (such as group C) in the first group.

Therefore, a step of comparing a deleted group member with each of group member units can be omitted, and it is quickly determined whether to delete the deleted group member from the first group.

In some embodiments, the first addition mode in which a member is added to the first group includes at least one of: a mode in which a member is added to the first group based on selecting a user identity; and a mode in which based on selecting a second group identity, a second group member associated with the second group identity is added to the first group.

The mode in which a member is added to the first group based on selecting a user identity may be understood as adding a member to the first group in a single pulling mode. As an example, a current user may check the identity of Zhang San to add Zhang San to the first group.

The mode in which based on selecting a second group identity, a second group member associated with the second group identity is added to the first group may be understood as adding a member to the first group by selecting a group. As an example, a current user may check a second group identity, and then all members corresponding to the second group identity may be added to the first group.

It should be noted that adding a member to a group in the first addition mode may reflect diversity of adding users to the first group. The user, being added to the first group in multiple modes, may be necessary for the first group. Therefore, the first addition mode is verified to avoid mistakenly deleting an important first group member.

In some embodiments, the step501may include: in response to detecting the predefined group member addition operation, displaying a second group identity based on a predetermined time condition.

The predetermined time condition indicates a second group having message interaction in a predetermined time period.

The user may be presented with groups having message interactions in a predetermined time period (such as in a day), thereby filtering out groups remaining silent for a long time.

It should be noted that compared to the second group remaining silent, the second group having message interaction in the predetermined time period has a high probability of being an object to be added to the first group by the user. A group identity of a group having a high probability is displayed, omitting the step of the user searching for a second group, reducing the operations of the user, and improving the efficiency of the user adding a group member to the first group.

In some embodiments, the step501may include: based on a target search term, searching for a communication object matching the target search term in communication objects of a current user; and displaying a searched communication object as a group candidate object.

The communication objects of the current user include at least one of, but are not limited to: an organization identity, a second group identity, and a user identity.

The user searches for an object to be added to the first group, and various forms of candidate communication objects may be displayed.

As an example, the user may use Zhang San as a search term. The user may search for a candidate communication object matching Zhang San in the communication objects of the user. For example, the searched candidate communication object may include the user Zhang San, an organization A to which Zhang San belongs, and a group A to which Zhang San belongs. The current user may select the organization A to which Zhang San belongs, then the organization A may be determined as the group member unit of the group, and then the organization members of the group member unit may be determined as the group members of the first group.

It should be noted that multiple types of candidate communication objects may be searched in a mixed search way, a wide range of candidate objects related to a search term may be displayed to the user, and the probability of the user obtaining a desired object in the displayed search results increases in a case of a wide range of selectable objects, omitting the step for the user to search again or view communication records to add a member, reducing the operations of the user, and improving the speed of adding members to the first group.
