Abstract

This application discloses a method for processing group information. When an upper limit of a number of people in a target group needs to be expanded, an expansion request is transmitted based on triggering by a first user on the target group. The expansion request includes an identification of the target group, and the expansion request is configured to request for expanding an upper limit of a number of group members of the target group. A second user with expansion permission may configure the upper limit of the number of the target group based on the expansion request. In response to a configuration by the second user on the target group, an expansion response is transmitted to a client of the first user, where the expansion response is configured to indicate a result of expansion on the target group.

First claim

We claim:

1. A method for processing group information, comprising:
in response to adding of a group member triggered by a first user on a target group and a number of group members of the target group reaching a predetermined upper limit, displaying a blocking page, the blocking page comprising an application component;
in response to triggering by the first user on the application component, transmitting an expansion request based on an application operation triggered by the first user, the expansion request comprising an identification of the target group, and the expansion request being configured to request for expanding an upper limit of a number of group members of the target group; and
receiving an expansion response, the expansion response being configured to indicate a result of expansion of the target group.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to the number of group members of the target group reaching a predetermined upper limit, displaying an application component on a conversation page of the target group; and
in response to triggering by the first user on the application component, transmitting the expansion request.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein in response to the triggering by the first user on the application component, transmitting the expansion request comprises:
in response to the triggering by the first user on the application component, displaying an application page, the application page being configured to present content required to be filled in for requesting expansion and a confirmer; and
in response to the first user completing filing-in on the application page, transmitting the expansion request.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined upper limit is preconfigured by a second user based on a management background, and the predetermined upper limit is a first upper limit of a number of people set by the second user for a group owner of the target group based on the management background, or the predetermined number of people is a second upper limit of a number of people set by the second user for a group based on the management background.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein in response to the triggering by the first user on the application component, transmitting the expansion request comprises:
in response to the triggering by the first user on the application component, transmitting the expansion request to a management background; or
in response to the triggering by the first user on the application component, transmitting the expansion request to a client of a third user, the third user being a person with expansion permission; and in response to processing by the third user on the expansion request, transmitting a confirmation message to the management background.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the expansion request further comprises a target number, and the target number is an upper limit of a number of people after requesting expansion.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in response to the expansion response indicating that the target group has been successfully expanded and adding of a member triggered by the first user on the target group, adding a selected user as a member of the target group.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein an obtaining process of the expansion response comprises:
obtaining the identification of the target group from the expansion request;
in response to a configuration by a second user on the target group through a management background, determining the upper limit of the number of group members of the target group; and
generating and transmitting the expansion response based on the determined upper limit of the number of group members of the target group.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein in response to the configuration by the second user on the target group through the management background, determining the upper limit of the number of group members of the target group comprises:
in response to the configuration triggered by the second user on a group size management page of the management background, determining a first supplementary rule for the target group, the first supplementary rule comprising the identification of the target group and the upper limit of the number of group members corresponding to the target group.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
in response to the configuration triggered by the second user on a group size management page of the management background, determining a second supplementary rule for the first user, the second supplementary rule comprising the identification of the first user and an upper limit of a number of group members corresponding to a group established by the first user.

11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
in response to a configuration by the second user on a permission application setting page in a group size management page of the management background, determining a state of a permission application interface and information related to a permission application.

12. An electronic device, comprising:
a processor and a memory;
the memory being configured to store instructions or computer programs; and
the processor being configured to execute the instructions or computer programs in the memory, to cause the electronic device to perform acts comprising:
in response to adding of a group member triggered by a first user on a target group and a number of group members of the target group reaching a predetermined upper limit, displaying a blocking page, the blocking page comprising an application component;
in response to triggering by the first user on the application component, transmitting an expansion request, the expansion request comprising an identification of the target group, and the expansion request being configured to request for expanding an upper limit of a number of group members of the target group; and
receiving an expansion response, the expansion response being configured to indicate a result of expansion of the target group.

13. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein the acts further comprises:
in response to the number of group members of the target group reaching a predetermined upper limit, displaying an application component on a conversation page of the target group; and
in response to triggering by the first user on the application component, transmitting the expansion request.

14. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein in response to the triggering by the first user on the application component, transmitting the expansion request comprises:
in response to the triggering by the first user on the application component, displaying an application page, the application page being configured to present content required to be filled in for requesting expansion and a confirmer; and
in response to the first user completing filing-in on the application page, transmitting the expansion request.

15. The electronic device of claim 12 wherein the predetermined upper limit is preconfigured by a second user based on a management background, and the predetermined upper limit is a first upper limit of a number of people set by the second user for a group owner of the target group based on the management background, or the predetermined number of people is a second upper limit of a number of people set by the second user for a group based on the management background.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions therein, the instructions, upon running on a device, causing the device to perform acts comprising:
in response to addin
