Abstract

A media interaction method, apparatus, and system is provided. A terminal device sends a triggering request for representing media information, and receives a history statistic number M of previous triggering requests for representing the media information, where M is a positive integer or zero; determines whether M is smaller than a preset positive integer N which is not smaller than 1; and blurs the media information and represents blurred media information if M is smaller than the preset positive integer N; and represents all media information if M is larger than or equal to the preset positive integer N.

Claims

1. A media interaction method, implemented on a terminal device, the method comprising:

receiving a media carrier that carries a trigger of media information from a server through a network;

sending a triggering request for representing the media information to the server in response to determining that the trigger is triggered, and receiving a history statistic number M of previous triggering requests for representing the media information from the server, where M is a positive integer or zero;

determining whether M is smaller than a preset positive integer N which is not smaller than 1; and

blurring the media information and representing blurred media information on the media carrier in response to determining that M is smaller than the preset positive integer N;

wherein the media information is video information or audio information, and wherein blurring the media information and representing blurred media information comprises;

dividing the media information into N segments of media information according to a length of the media information or content of the media information,

blurring N-M segments of media information out of the N segments of media information, and representing the blurred N-M segments of media information and M segments of media information which are not blurred on the media carrier,

wherein for the media information being audio information, blurring the N-M segments of media information comprises adding noise in the N-M segments.

2. The media interaction method according to claim 1, wherein the media information comprises at least one of the following:

video information contained in an email;

audio information contained in an email;

video information contained in a microblog message;

or audio information contained in a microblog message.

3. The media interaction method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:

sending the media carrier that carries the media information to a third party in a third party receiving list preset by the server; and

sending, by the third party in the third party receiving list, the triggering request for representing the media information.

4. A media interaction apparatus, comprising a processor and a memory;

wherein the memory stores computer readable instructions and the processor executes the computer readable instructions to;

receive a media carrier that carries a trigger of media information from a server through a network;

send a triggering request for representing the media information in response to determining that the trigger is triggered, and receiving a history statistic number M of previous triggering requests for representing the media information, where M is a positive integer or zero;

determine whether M is smaller than a preset positive integer N which is not smaller than 1; and

blur the media information and representing blurred media information on the media carrier in response to determining that M is smaller than the preset positive integer N;

wherein the media information is video information or audio information, and wherein blurring the media information and representing blurred media information comprises;

dividing the media information into N segments of media information according to a length of the media information or content of the media information, blurring N-M segments of media information out of the N segments of media information, and representing the blurred N-M segments of media information and M segments of media information which are not blurred on the media carrier,

wherein for the media information being audio information, blurring the N-M segments of media information comprises adding noise in the N-M segments.

5. The media interaction apparatus of claim 4, wherein the media information comprises at least one of the following:

video information contained in an email;

audio information contained in an email;

video information contained in a microblog message;

or audio information contained in a microblog message.

6. The media interaction apparatus of claim 4, wherein the processor executes the computer readable instructions to:

send the media carrier that carries the media information to a third party in a third party receiving list preset by the server in response to determining that N-M is not equal to zero; and

send, by the third party in the third party receiving list, the triggering request for representing the media information.

7. A media interaction method, implemented on a server, the method comprising:

sending a media carrier that carries a trigger of media information to a terminal device through a network;

receiving a triggering request for representing the media information from the terminal device, and counting a history statistic number M of triggering requests sent from terminal devices, where M is at least a positive integer or zero;

determining whether M is smaller than a preset positive integer N which is not smaller than 1; and

blurring the media information so that the terminal device represents blurred media information on the media carrier in response to determining that M is smaller than the preset positive integer N;

wherein the media information is video information or audio information, and wherein blurring the media information and representing blurred media information comprises;

dividing the media information into N segments of media information according to a length of the media information or content of the media information, blurring N-M segments of media information out of the N segments of media information, and representing the blurred N-M segments of media information and M segments of media information which are not blurred on the media carrier,

wherein for the media information being audio information, blurring the N-M segments of media information comprises adding noise in the N-M segments.

8. The media interaction method of claim 7, wherein the media information comprises at least one of the following:

video information contained in an email;

audio information contained in an email;

video information contained in a microblog message;

or audio information contained in a microblog message.

9. The media interaction method of claim 7, wherein the method further comprises:

determining whether the triggering request is valid, and setting the triggering request as a valid triggering request and counting the triggering request into the history statistic number M of triggering requests in response to determining that the triggering request is valid; and

setting the triggering request as an invalid triggering request and not counting the triggering request into the history statistic number M of triggering requests in response to determining that the triggering request is an invalid triggering request.

10. The media interaction method of claim 9, wherein determining whether the triggering request is valid comprises at least one of the following:

determining whether the triggering request is valid according to an IP address of the terminal device which sends the triggering request;

or

determining whether the triggering request is valid according to a user account which sends the triggering request.

11. The media interaction method of claim 7, wherein the media carrier is an email and the method further comprises:

receiving materials of the media information;

generating the email by using the materials of the media information to generate a hypertext marked language page contained in the email, wherein the email has at least one preset recipient, and the hypertext marked language page has script to divide the media information into N pieces, blur the media information in response to determining that M is smaller than the preset positive integer N, and count the number of times of accessing the media information.
