Detailed ways

Embodiments of the present application provide a file transmission method and device, and a server system.

In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described The implementations are only some of the implementations of the present application, not all of them. Based on the implementation manners in this application, all other implementation manners obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a client interaction method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The client can be any form of mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer or a notebook computer, and can also be a logic body compiled by a programming language running on the above-mentioned hardware devices. The client interaction method includes the following steps.

Step S10: the first client sends a message to the second client, and the message is attached with a download address of the GIF image and an identification code, and the identification code can uniquely identify the GIF image.

In this embodiment, the versions of the clients may be the same or different. Wherein, the versions of the clients are the same, which means that the functions and structures of the clients are the same in the default factory setting state. The version differences between clients are due to the fact that with the development of technology and technological progress, manufacturers may have certain improvements to the client’s technical solutions, such as improving the performance of client hardware, or improving the algorithm of the client, or adding functions or content, a new version of the client will be released at this time, because both the new version and the old version of the client will be used in the industry, so there will be different versions of the client.

In this embodiment, messages can be sent between clients. Messages can include text, pictures, or a combination of both. The identification code can uniquely identify a GIF image, that is, there is a corresponding relationship between the identification code and the GIF image. By knowing an identification code, the GIF image corresponding to the identification code can be specified. Identifiers can be sent with messages from one client to another. The client receiving the message may only display the GIF image corresponding to the identification code without displaying the identification code itself, so that the information provided by the client to the user is relatively clean and not messy. Of course, the client receiving the message can also display the identification code itself, so that the user can know the identification code corresponding to the GIF image. For example, the identification code can be a string "sdjfosdufdsd15" of any length, or a number "16230", or a characteristic value of a GIF image such as MD5 (Message-Digest Algorithm5) value, or base64 value.

In this embodiment, when the GIF image is published, the GIF image will be stored in the server, and the server will provide the storage path of the GIF image, and the storage path can be a download address. Specifically, the download address can be the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) address of the GIF image in the server, and the GIF image can be downloaded to the local by accessing the URL address.

Step S20: the second client receives the message, and judges whether the locally stored identification code includes the received identification code.

In this embodiment, an identification code known to the client is stored in the client. The way for the client to obtain the identification code can be integrated during the production process of the client, or it can be stored locally by receiving the identification code sent by other clients during the use process. After the client receives the identification code sent by other clients, it matches the received identification code with the locally stored identification code, that is, judges whether the received identification code exists in its locally stored identification code, if the received identification code It is the same as an identification code stored locally, that is, the identification code stored locally by the client includes the received identification code. If the received identification code is different from the identification code stored locally by the client, the identification code stored locally by the client does not include the received identification code.

Step S30: The identification code stored locally by the second client does not include the received identification code, and the second client accesses the download address of the GIF image to download the GIF image.

In this embodiment, the client downloads the GIF image locally by accessing the received download address, so that the presentation of the GIF image can be further completed. Specifically, for example, the client can use the Request command of the Http protocol to access the download address, or use the socket to access the download address to download the GIF image.

Step S40: the second client displays the GIF image.

In this embodiment, after the client finishes downloading the GIF image from the download address, it will further display the downloaded GIF image to the user.

The client interaction method provided in this embodiment realizes that each GIF image can be uniquely identified by setting an identification code, so that after receiving an identification code, the client can clearly determine whether the corresponding identification code is stored locally. GIF image. Furthermore, by providing the download address of the GIF image to the client receiving the message, when the client receiving the message does not store the GIF image corresponding to the identification code locally, the GIF image can be obtained by downloading the download address, so that it is difficult for the client to display the GIF The condition of the image. Further, through the scheme provided by this embodiment, when GIF image interaction occurs between different versions of clients, the old version of the client can download the GIF image corresponding to the identification code provided by the new version of the client through the download address, so as to solve the problem. There is a problem of compatibility between the old and new versions.

In one embodiment of the present application, the step S30 further includes a sub-step: during the process of downloading the GIF image, the second client displays a preset picture.

In this embodiment, the client may have a preset picture inside. The preset image is used to display to the user during the client downloading the GIF image. It takes a certain amount of time for the client to download the GIF image from the download address. During this time, the user experience is improved by displaying the preset image to the user. The content of the preset picture may have text to prompt the user that the GIF image is being downloaded, or have a progress bar for downloading the GIF image, or be just a picture.

Please refer to FIG. 2 , in an embodiment of the present application, step S40 of the client interaction method further includes the following sub-steps.

Step S41: The second client presents a preview image of the GIF image.

In this embodiment, after the client acquires the GIF image, it first displays a preview image of the GIF image, so that the user can initially understand the content of the GIF image. Furthermore, since the client needs to spend more computing and storage resources to display GIF images, if a client receives multiple messages at the same time and needs to display GIF images, displaying them at the same time after receiving them may cause the client to crash because of insufficient resources , so the client first displays the preview image to the user, avoiding the above problems.

Step S42: the second client receives a predetermined command to display the GIF image corresponding to the preview image.

In this embodiment, the predetermined command may be an operation command input by the user to the client in any form. Specifically, for example, if the client is a touch-screen mobile phone or a tablet computer, the user can click on a preview image to display the corresponding GIF image, and the preview image can be used as a predetermined command when the user clicks; for example, the client is a keyboard-type mobile phone, The user can select a preview image through the button, and display the GIF image corresponding to the preview image by clicking the play button. At this time, the preview image is selected by the play button as a predetermined command.

Please refer to FIG. 3 , in one embodiment of the present application, the client interaction method further includes step S50: the second client parses one or more pictures from the downloaded GIF image as the GIF A preview of the image.

In this embodiment, after the client downloads the GIF image from the download address, the GIF image is analyzed, and one or more pictures are selected from the multiple pictures in the GIF image as the preview image of the GIF image. Specifically, if a picture is selected from the GIF image as the preview image, any one of the multiple pictures of the GIF image may be selected, preferably, the first picture is selected as the preview image. If more than one picture is selected from the GIF image, one picture can be selected at intervals of a certain number, so that more than one picture selected can be made into a smaller GIF image as a preview of the original GIF image.

In this embodiment, the client interaction method further includes step S60: the second client correspondingly stores the preview image and the received identification code.

In this embodiment, after the client obtains the preview image, it stores the preview image and the identification code correspondingly, which increases the number of GIF images known to the client. Furthermore, the GIF image is large and the preview image is small, and only the preview image is stored to avoid occupying too much storage space. Certainly, the client may also store the preview image and the GIF image corresponding to the identification code. Specifically, a list of identification codes may be stored in the client, corresponding to each identification code to store the storage path of the preview image, or corresponding to each identification code to store the storage path of the GIF image and the preview image, so that after the identification code is specified, the You can further obtain a preview image, or obtain a GIF image and a preview image.

Please refer to Fig. 4, in an embodiment of the present application, in the step S10 of the client interaction method: the download address and the download address and identification code of the GIF image and the preview image are attached to the message, and the identification The code can uniquely identify the GIF image and the preview image.

In this embodiment, when the GIF image is released, a picture is designated as the preview image of the GIF image, and the GIF image and the preview image are stored in the server simultaneously, so that the GIF image and the preview image respectively have a download address, In this way, the GIF image can be downloaded by accessing the download address of the GIF image, and the preview image can be downloaded by accessing the download address of the preview image.

In this embodiment, the identification code corresponds to both the GIF image and the preview image, so that the GIF image can be associated with the preview image through the identification code. Specifically, for example, the identification code is stored in a list, and the corresponding identification code stores the storage path of the GIF image in the client, and the storage path of the preview image in the client, so that after the identification code is specified, the GIF image or The storage path of the preview image, to get the GIF image or preview image.

In this embodiment, the step S30 may be: when the identification code stored locally by the second client does not include the received identification code, the second client accesses the download address of the GIF image to download the GIF image, visit the download address of the preview image to download the preview image.

In this embodiment, the client does not include the received identification code locally, indicating that the client does not have a preview image corresponding to the received identification code, or there is no GIF image and preview image corresponding to the received identification code, and the client can Download the GIF image by visiting the download address of the GIF image, and download the preview image by visiting the download address of the preview image. Further, the preview image may be downloaded first, and the client displays the preview image during the process of downloading the GIF image. This gives the user an early idea of what the GIF image might show.

In this embodiment, the client interaction method further includes step S60: the second client correspondingly stores the preview image and the received identification code.

In this embodiment, after the client obtains the preview image, it stores the preview image and the identification code correspondingly, which increases the number of GIF images known to the client. Furthermore, the GIF image is large and the preview image is small, and only the preview image is stored to avoid occupying too much storage space. Certainly, the client may also store the preview image and the GIF image corresponding to the identification code. Specifically, a list of identification codes may be stored in the client, corresponding to each identification code to store the storage path of the preview image, or corresponding to each identification code to store the storage path of the GIF image and the preview image, so that after the identification code is specified, the You can further obtain a preview image, or obtain a GIF image and a preview image.

Please refer to FIG. 5 , in one embodiment of the present application, the client interaction method further includes step S70: the identification code stored locally by the second client includes the received identification code, and the second client The terminal reads the GIF image corresponding to the received identification code locally.

In this embodiment, the identification code stored locally on the client side includes the received identification code, indicating that the client locally stores the GIF image corresponding to the received identification code, and only needs to read the GIF image locally for further presentation . Specifically, an identification code storage list may be set in the client, and the storage path of the GIF image is stored corresponding to each identification code in the list.

Please refer to FIG. 6. In one embodiment of the present application, the client interaction method further includes step S80: the identification code stored locally by the second client includes the received identification code, and the second client The terminal reads the preview image of the GIF image corresponding to the received identification code, and accesses the download address of the GIF image to download the GIF image.

In this embodiment, the GIF image is often larger, if storing the GIF image at the client requires a larger storage space, in order to reduce the occupation of the client storage space, only the preview image of the GIF image is stored at the client, further through the access The download address of the GIF image Download the GIF image, so that the detailed content of the GIF image can be displayed. Furthermore, after the client reads the preview image, it can display the preview image during the process of downloading the GIF image. Then the user first understands the possible content of the GIF image, and then further displays the GIF image after the download of the GIF image is completed, or receives a predetermined The GIF image is displayed after the command.
