Information updating/exchange method, apparatus, and server

An information updating and exchange method, comprising:

• providing, by a server of an information exchange platform, a first user account and a second user account for accessing the information exchange platform;
• receiving a first message by the server from a second terminal device in communication with the information exchange platform via the second user account;
• sending, by the server, the first message to a first terminal device in communication with the information exchange platform via the first user account;
• receiving, by the server from the first terminal device via the first user account, a request for replacing an identity information of the first user account with a target identity information, wherein the request is sent from the first terminal device via the first user account upon displaying a second user interface on the first terminal device in response to receiving a first user instruction for initiating a preset exchange event associated with the first message on a first user interface on the first terminal device associated with the information exchange platform, and wherein the second user interface of the first terminal device displays the identity information of the first user account in an editable mode;
• generating, by the server, the target identity information in response to the request;
• and
• sending, by the server, the target identity information to the first terminal device via the first user account.

An information updating and exchange system, comprising a terminal device, the terminal device comprising:

• a memory for storing instructions;
• and
• at least one processor in communication with the memory, the processor, when executing the instructions, is configured to cause terminal device to:
• access, from an application running on the terminal device, a remote information exchange platform via a first user account;
• receive a first information posted from a second user account of the remote information exchange platform;
• display the first information on a first user interface of the application on the terminal device;
• receive, via the first user interface, a first user instruction associated with the first information for initiating a preset exchange event associated with the first information;
• generate, in response to the first user instruction, a second user interface for displaying an identity information of the first user account in an editable mode;
• receive, via the second user interface, a second user instruction for replacing the identity information of the first user account with a target identity information;
• and
• updating the identity information of the first user account displayed on the second user interface to the target identity information according to the second user instruction.
