  • Patent number: 9565179
    Abstract: A method and system for facilitating collaboration across a plurality of platforms are disclosed. A server with one or more processors and memory performs an identity authentication process to validate a user to access a super account, where the super account is bound to a plurality of sub-accounts, and where each of the plurality of sub-accounts corresponds to a distinct platform. In accordance with a determination that the authentication process is successful, the server queries sub-servers corresponding to the plurality of sub-accounts for respective usage rights of each of the plurality of sub-accounts. The server transmits, to the user, one or more tokens identifying the respective usage rights of each of the plurality of sub-accounts and generates a user interface including affordances based at least in part on the usage rights of each of the plurality of sub-accounts.

  • Patent number: 9565145
    Abstract: This application discloses a method implemented at a server to control information items shared on an instant messaging platform. The server monitors information sharing activities by a public account of the instant messaging platform. The public account is supported by a third party application authorized by the instant messaging platform and has connection with a plurality of individual user accounts of the instant messaging platform. When the amount of information shared by the public account exceeds a predefined threshold, the server partitions the shared information into multiple categories and measures user activities from the plurality of individual user accounts on the categorized shared information. The server selects a policy of restricting the public account from sharing information with the plurality of individual user accounts based on the measurement result, and applies the policy to the public account.
