  • Patent number: 10771271
    Abstract: The current invention discloses methods and devices for adding a new member to a group, e.g. a chat group associated with a chat program. The new member may be added through a barcode-scanning process or an existing-member-invitation process. After the new member is added to the chat group, a server may send notification messages to mobile devices associated with the existing members of the group. The contents of the notification messages may vary based on the processes by which the new member is added, the number of existing members, and the direct-contact relationships the new member has with the existing members. The current invention provides simplified methods and devices for adding the new member, avoiding cumbersome operations and protecting member privacy at the same time.

  • Patent number: 9391983
    Abstract: In a method for control accessing to a communication account, a second terminal obtains the identification information of a first terminal, and sends the communication account information and identification information of the first terminal to the communication platform; the communication platform sends the communication account information to the first terminal based on the identification information. The first terminal sends the communication account information to a near-field communication (NFC) device and reads the communication account information stored in the NFC device when the distance between them is within the preset range. The first terminal then sends its identification information and the communication account information read from the NFC device to the communication platform. Based on communication account information and identification information, the communication platform controls the first terminal to log in by the use of communication account information.
