Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for image sharing. For example, a terminal sends to a server a conversation-processing request to request to release a target conversation message from a current user of a messaging application to a conversation group; the server receives the conversation-processing request, acquires the target conversation message from the conversation-processing request, determines whether the target conversation message includes a first image; in response to the target conversation message including a first image, the server stores the first image in a shared album corresponding to the conversation group and forward the target conversation message to members of the conversation group.
Claims16
An image-sharing method, comprising:
- receiving, by a server, from a terminal a conversation-processing request of releasing a target conversation message from a current user of a messaging application on the terminal to a conversation group, the conversation group being an instant messaging conversation group where members exchange conversation messages with each other, the target conversation message being entered to a conversation window of the messaging application corresponding to the conversation group;
- acquiring, by the server, the target conversation message from the conversation-processing request;
- determining, by the server, whether the target conversation message includes a first image;
- in response to determining that the target conversation message includes a first image, determining, by the server, whether the target conversation message includes a first text;
- and
- after determining that the target conversation message includes the first image and in response to determining that the target conversation message includes a first text, storing, by the server, the first image in a shared album corresponding to the conversation group, together with the first text as a comment from the current user on the first image;
- after storing the first image in the shared album corresponding to the conversation group, sending, by the server, a storage prompt to the members of the conversation group, the storage prompt indicating that the first image is stored in the shared album, wherein the storage prompt is displayed within the messaging application to the members of the conversation group;
- forwarding, by the server, the target conversation message to the members of the conversation group;
- generating and sending, by the server, to the members of the conversation group, an access message of the first image, wherein an access option for accessing the shared album to view the first image based on the access message is displayed near the first image in the conversation window configured to show the exchanged conversation messages of the conversation group in the messaging applications of the members, wherein the access message includes a storage path of the first image for viewing the first image;
- and
- in response to a selection of the access option, by one of the members of the conversation group, enabling by the server, the first image of the shared album to be displayed on the terminal of one of the members of the conversation group, according to the storage path included in the access message.

An image-sharing method, comprising:
- acquiring, by a terminal, a target conversation message to a conversation group from a current user of a messaging application on the terminal based on input of the current user, the target conversation message including at least one of a first image or a first text, the target conversation message being entered to a conversation window of the messaging application, the conversation window being configured to display conversation messages exchanged among multiple members of the conversation group, the conversation group being an instant messaging conversation group;
- sending, by the terminal, to a server a conversation-processing request of releasing the target conversation message to the conversation group, such that the server forwards the target conversation message to members of the conversation group and updates a shared album corresponding to the conversation group according to a content of the target conversation message;
- after sending the conversation-processing request to the server and in response to the target conversation message including the first image, receiving, by the terminal, a storage prompt from the server, the storage prompt indicating that the first image is stored in the shared album, wherein the storage prompt is displayed within the messaging application;
- after sending the conversation-processing request to the server, displaying, by the terminal, the shared album corresponding to the conversation group, comprising:
- in response to the target conversation message including a first image without a first text, displaying the first image in the shared album corresponding to the conversation group;
- and in response to the target conversation message including both a first image and a first text, displaying the first image in the shared album corresponding to the conversation group, together with the first text as a comment from the current user on the first image:
- receiving, by the terminal an access message of the first image, and displaying, near the first image in the conversation window, an access option for accessing the shared album to view the first image based on the access message, wherein the access message includes a storage path of the first image for viewing the first image;
- and
- in response to a selection of the access option, displaying by the terminal, the first image of the shared album according to the storage patch included in the access message.

An image-sharing device, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory configured to perform:
- acquiring a target conversation message to a conversation group from a current user of a messaging application on the image-sharing device based on input of the current user, the target conversation message including at least one of a first image or a first text, the target conversation message being entered to a conversation window of the messaging application, the conversation window being configured to display conversation messages exchanged among multiple members of the conversation group, the conversation group being an instant messaging conversation group;
- sending to a server a conversation-processing request of releasing the target conversation message to the conversation group, such that the server forwards the target conversation message to members of the conversation group and updates a shared album corresponding to the conversation group according to a content of the target conversation message;
- after sending the conversation-processing request to the server and in response to the target conversation message including the first image, receiving a storage prompt from the server, the storage prompt indicating that the first image is stored in the shared album, wherein the storage prompt is displayed within the messaging application;
- after sending the conversation-processing request to the server, displaying the shared album corresponding to the conversation group, comprising:
- in response to the target conversation message including a first image without a first text,
- displaying the first image in the shared album corresponding to the conversation group;
- in response to the target conversation message including both a first image and a first text,
- displaying the first image in the shared album corresponding to the conversation group, together with the first text as a comment from the current user on the first image:
- receiving, by the terminal an access message of the first image, and displaying, near the first image in the conversation window, an access option for accessing the shared album to view the first image based on the access message, wherein the access message includes a storage path of the first image for viewing the first image;
- and
- in response to a selection of the access option, displaying by the terminal, the first image of the shared album according to the storage path included in the access message.
