Abstract
A method and an apparatus for file transmission are provided. The method may include receiving a file sending request initiated by a source user for a preset file; sending an approval message for the file sending request to an approval user corresponding to the source user when the source user does not have a transmission privilege for the preset file; and setting the preset file as an obtainable state for a target user corresponding to the file sending request in response to the approval message being approved by the approval user. The technical solutions of the present disclosure can prevent an approval operation of a file from interrupting a communication process between users, help to simplify user operations, and improve the smoothness of the communication process.
Claims20
A method implemented by one or more computing devices, the method comprising:
- receiving a file sending request initiated by a source user for a preset file;
- sending an approval message for the file sending request to an approval user corresponding to the source user when the source user does not have a transmission privilege for the preset file;
- and
- setting the preset file as an obtainable state for a target user corresponding to the file sending request in response to the approval message being approved by the approval user.
One or more computer readable media storing executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
- receiving a file sending request initiated by a source user for a preset file;
- sending an approval message for the file sending request to an approval user corresponding to the source user when the source user does not have a transmission privilege for the preset file;
- and
- setting the preset file as an obtainable state for a target user corresponding to the file sending request in response to the approval message being approved by the approval user.
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
- memory;
- a detection unit stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to detect a file sending operation initiated by a source user to a target user for a preset file in a communication session page of the source user and the target user;
- and
- a showing unit stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to initiate a file sending request for the preset file to a server and send an approval message for the preset file to an approval user corresponding to the source user when the source user does not have a transmission privilege for the preset file, wherein the preset file is set by the server as an obtainable state for the target user when the approval message is approved by the approval user.
