Abstract

A resource sharing method is performed at a mobile terminal, the method including: configuring a to-be-shared resource by using a processor, to obtain data needed for obtaining a resource; obtaining a user identifier of a currently logged-in social networking application; obtaining a resource sharing message image template, a user-defined visible element, and configuration information of the visible element that are associated with the user identifier; drawing a resource sharing message image according to the resource sharing message image template, the visible element, and the configuration information, and displaying the resource sharing message image on a social network propagation page of the social networking application; and transferring, by using a social network, a resource sharing message corresponding to the resource sharing message image, the resource sharing message including the data needed for obtaining a resource.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A gift sharing method performed at a mobile terminal having one or more processors and memory storing a plurality of programs to be executed by the one or more processors, the method comprising, comprising:
configuring a to-be-shared gift to obtain data for a second user of a social networking application to receive a gift from a first user of the social networking application, wherein the first user and the second user are members of a chat session hosted by the social networking application, the second user being a friend of the first user on the social networking application prior to receiving the gift from the first user;
obtaining a user identifier of the first user, wherein the first user is currently logged-in to the social networking application at the mobile terminal;
obtaining a gift sharing message image template, a user-defined visible element, and configuration information of the visible element that are associated with the user identifier of the first user, wherein the visible element comprises a combination of one or more of a character, a picture and an animated file, and wherein the configuration information of the visible element includes a relationship between the user-defined visible element and the gift sharing message image template by:
querying a server for the gift sharing message image template, the user-defined visible element, and the configuration information of the visible element that are associated with the user identifier; and
drawing a gift sharing message image according to the gift sharing message image template, the user-defined visible element, and the configuration information, if the gift sharing message image template, the user-defined visible element, and the configuration information of the visible element that are associated with the user identifier are found at the server;

in response to receiving a gift sharing instruction from the first user, displaying the gift sharing message image on a social network propagation page of the social networking application; and
transferring, by using a social network, a gift sharing message corresponding to the gift sharing message image to the second user at a second mobile terminal for displaying the gift sharing message using an instant messaging session window corresponding to the chat session at the second mobile terminal, the gift sharing message comprising the data for the second user of the social networking application to receive the gift, wherein the gift sharing message image template constrains an overall shape and size of the gift sharing message image, and controls a shape, a size, and/or a location of an editing area used to accommodate the user-defined visible element.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
selecting the gift sharing message image template from candidate gift sharing message image templates;
obtaining the user-defined visible element;
obtaining the configuration information corresponding to the user-defined visible element; and
associating the selected gift sharing message image template, the user-defined visible element, and the obtained configuration information with the user identifier.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein before the obtaining the user-defined visible element, the method further comprises:
obtaining a constraint condition corresponding to the selected gift sharing message image template; and
the obtaining the user-defined visible element comprises:
obtaining the user-defined visible element under the constraint condition.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining an operation instruction for the displayed gift sharing message image;
generating, according to the operation instruction, a gift obtaining request that comprises a gift identifier and a gift obtaining party identifier;
sending the gift obtaining request to a server, so that the server allocates, to the gift obtaining party identifier, a gift corresponding to the gift identifier;
receiving a gift obtaining result fed back by the server; and
displaying a result displaying page having a custom background image that matches the visible element, and displaying the gift obtaining result on the result displaying page.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the querying a server for the gift sharing message image template, the user-defined visible element, and the configuration information of the visible element that are associated with the user identifier comprises:
determining whether locally there stores drawn data associated with the user identifier, wherein the drawn data comprises the gift sharing message image template, the user-defined visible element, and the configuration information of the visible element that are associated with the user identifier;
in accordance with a determination that locally there stores the drawn data, querying the server whether a change occurs in the drawn data corresponding to the user identifier, in a time period from a time when the drawn data is obtained last time to a current time; and
in accordance with a determination that no change occurs, directly locally obtaining the drawn data corresponding to the user identifier; and
in accordance with a determination of a change occurs or if locally there does not store the drawn data, querying the server for the drawn data corresponding to the user identifier.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the gift sharing message is used to trigger an action of obtaining a gift; the gift comprises at least one of a virtual object and a physical object; and the visible element comprises at least one of a character and an image.

7. A mobile terminal comprising one or more processors, memory coupled to the one or more processors, and a plurality of programs stored in the memory that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the mobile terminal to perform operations including:
configuring a to-be-shared gift to obtain data for a second user of a social networking application to receive a gift from a first user of the social networking application, wherein the first user and the second user are members of a chat session hosted by the social networking application, the second user being a friend of the first user on the social networking application prior to receiving the gift from the first user;
obtaining a user identifier of the first user, wherein the first user is currently logged-into the social networking application at the mobile terminal;
obtaining a gift sharing message image template, a user-defined visible element, and configuration information of the visible element that are associated with the user identifier of the first user, wherein the visible element comprises a combination of one or more of a character, a picture and an animated file, and wherein the configuration information of the visible element includes a relationship between the user-defined visible element and the gift sharing message image template by:
querying a server for the gift sharing message image template, the user-defined visible element, and the configuration information of the visible element that are associated with the user identifier; and
drawing a gift sharing message image according to the gift sharing message image template, the user-defined visible element, and the configuration information, if the gift sharing message image template, the user-defined visible element, and the configuration information of the visible element that are associated with the user identifier are found at the server;

in response to receiving a gift sharing instruction from the first user, displaying the gift sharing message image on a social network propagation page of the social networking application; and
transferring, by using
