Abstract: The present disclosure provides an information collection method. Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for collecting information. The method includes receiving, at a terminal device having a user account in a social group that is established by a communication service, a trigger message that is sent by a specific user account of the social group to members of the social group. The trigger message includes a prompt text and a jump instruction to a page for collecting specific information. Further, the method includes generating a text link associated with the jump instruction based on the prompt text, displaying the text link on an interface page for the communication service and executing the jump instruction to display the page for collecting the specific information when a trigger event with respect to the text link is detected.

Abstract: A method for changing an emoticon in a chat interface is disclosed. The method may be implemented by a terminal device. The method may comprise detecting whether a message received by the terminal device contains a first changeable emoticon, checking a first emoticon-value list to determine a first value corresponding to the first changeable emoticon, if the received instant message contains the first changeable emoticon, checking a second emoticon-value list to determine a second value corresponding to a second emoticon, the second emoticon being configured to change the first changeable emoticon, adding the first value and the second value to obtain a value result, and checking the first emoticon-value list to change the first changeable emoticon to another emoticon corresponding to the value result.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method, a terminal device, and a storage medium for playing a game in a chatting interface of an instant messaging tool provided on a terminal device. The method includes: calling a game program corresponding to a game mode in the chatting interface when the game mode is triggered in the chatting interface, the chatting interface being a chatting interface between a current user and one or more other users of the instant messaging tool on a terminal device, and the game mode being a mode of presenting the game in the chatting interface for user interaction; acquiring a first game result collected by the game program when the game program is finished; and sending the first game result as an instant message to the one or more other users in the chatting interface.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and a terminal device for processing an application in a kid mode, and the disclosure belongs to the field of Internet technology. The method includes receiving a list of allowed functions or a list of prohibited functions of a target application from a first terminal device, determining allowed functions in the target application according to the list of allowed functions or the list of prohibited functions, and displaying the allowed functions in a kid mode of the target application. Therefore, according to the present disclosure, normal usage of applications is not affected in the kid mode.

Abstract: The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method for unlocking administration authority and a device for performing authentication, and pertain to the technical field of computer information security. In the method, the authentication device receives authentication information sent by a plurality of member devices. The member devices include a mobile terminal or a wearable device. The authentication device performs a matching authentication of the authentication information by matching authentication information sent from a member device with authentication information prestored in an authorized authentication information list, and determines a distance between an authenticated member device and the authentication device. Then, the authentication device unlocks local administration authority if the number of authenticated member devices that are located within a predetermined distance threshold from the authentication device reaches a predetermined number threshold.

Abstract: An image management method and an apparatus therefor are provided. The image management method includes detecting an operation of a user on an image, and performing image management according to the operation and a region of interest (ROI) in the image. The solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure performs image management based on ROI of the user, and thus can meet a user's requirement and improve image management efficiency.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a storage medium are provided for managing contacts. In the method, the apparatus acquires contact information of contacts in a contact book, where the contact information includes information on viewing of social information of the contacts. The apparatus determines at least one contact whose contact information meets a prescribed condition as at least one contact to be deleted. The apparatus then displays the determined contact to be deleted.
