Abstract: A team configuration method including creating a team according to a received team creation instruction; obtaining alternative function configuration schemes applicable to the team; and selecting at least one function configuration scheme from the alternative function configuration schemes such that the selected function configuration scheme is applied to configure the functions of the team. Through the technical solution of the present disclosure, the team configuration efficiency is improved.

Abstract: A method including determining, according to a received type change instruction with respect to a group, a target group type of the group; selecting, according to a limiting condition imposed on group affiliation information of a group member by the target group type, a group member who does not satisfy the limiting condition; and removing the selected group member from the group.

Abstract: The present application provides an instant messaging-based method and means for processing information. The method comprises: receiving a group add request, said group add request being for requesting the addition of a first user to a first group; assessing whether the first user needs to be added to the first group with a specific status; if the assessment result is yes, then subjecting the group information of the first group to screening in accordance with the group permissions corresponding to the specific status in order to obtain screened group information and issuing the screened group information to the instant messaging client of the first user. The present application can solve information security problems while meeting instant messaging needs.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for prompting a work status are disclosed. The method may include obtaining a work status of a preset contact person in an instant communication application; detecting that a preset function page of the instant communication application is triggered; and presenting the work status of the preset contact person in the preset function page if the preset function page is related to the preset contact person. Through the technical solutions of the present application, a work status of a preset contact person can be presented in an instant communication application, to help a user to view and understanding thereof in time.

Abstract: Methods and devices for management of group user data and/or maintenance of instant messaging groups. The methods may include receiving, by a computing device, a request for searching data of a first group user. For example, the request is initialized by a second group user via an instant messaging application. The computing device may determine a data search permission of the second group user on the data of the first group user, select a data item of the first group user in accordance with the data search permission, and return the data item to the second group user. Using techniques described herein, the implementations may enable users to view group contacts and perform access control to improve security of the group data and to avoid leakage of communication information of group users.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and an interaction system for obtaining group information are provided. The method may include detecting a triggering operation for a group information platform in an interface of a client end of a mobile group work platform; sending a page acquisition request for the group information platform to a server end of the mobile group work platform; and displaying a function page of the group information platform based on page data returned by the server. Using the technical solutions of the present disclosure, processing of internal events of a group can be implemented on a mobile group work platform, while accesses and processing of events external to the group can also be implemented based on connections and communications between the mobile group work platform and a group information platform, thereby realizing quicker information interactions between inside and outside of the same group, and between different groups.

Abstract: A method includes: receiving a group message pushed by a server; determining whether the group message is related to a special follow object of a currently logged-in user in the instant messaging application, there being a first correlation between the currently logged-in user and the special follow object in a preset relational dimension, the first correlation being different from a second correlation between the currently logged-in user and another object in the preset relational dimension; prompting the group message through a first prompting manner when the group message is related to the special follow object, the first prompting manner being different from a second prompting manner used for a group message not related to the special follow object. The techniques actively configure a special follow object and distinctively prompt related group messages, thereby preventing a user from missing the group messages related to the special follow object.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present application provide a method and system for communication. During operation, the system may receive a message sent by a sender to multiple recipients. The system may determine that a reply mode of the message is set to a private mode which restricts permission to receive replies to the message. The system may receive a reply message sent by a recipient in response to the message. The system may identify, among the sender and the multiple recipients, a communication party with permission to receive the reply message. The system may then send the reply message to the identified communication party.
