Abstract

The present invention discloses a method and system for sharing community network service information, characterized in that users can send their community network service information and their friend lists for real-time communication to a data server, and share the community network service information with the friends in the friend lists who have logged onto the data server. Thus, the users can share the community information from different community network service platforms with their friends. Additionally, the data server can periodically confirm whether the users and their friends update the community network service information or not and send the updated information to the users and their friends.

Claims

1. A method for sharing community network service information, being provided for a user to share community network service information with friends of the user, said method comprising:

logging into a data server and sending community network service information of the user to the data server;

accessing a friend list of the user;

confirming whether at least one friend in the friend list has logged onto the data server or not; and

sending the community network service information of the user to friends logged on via the data server if at least one friend in the friend list has logged onto the data server.

2. The method for sharing community network service information as recited in claim 1, wherein the friend list comprises information of the friends set in an instant message service platform by the user.

3. The method for sharing community network service information as recited in claim 2, further comprising:

enabling the user to log onto an instant message service platform via the data server so as to download the friend list from the instant message service platform.

4. The method for sharing community network service information as recited in claim 3, further comprising:

integrating the friend list and the community network service information of the friends in the friend list by the data server and sending the integrated information to the user.

5. The method for sharing community network service information as recited in claim 1, further comprising:

sending the community network service information of the friends in the friend list to the user.

6. The method for sharing community network service information as recited in claim 1, further comprising:

sending the account of the user in a community network service platform to the data server; and

confirming whether the user updates the information in the community network service platform or not according to the account by the data server, and if yes, downloading the updated information of the user from the community network service platform.

7. The method for sharing community network service information as recited in claim 6, further comprising:

sending the updated information of the user to the friends logged on after the data server has downloaded the updated information of the user from the community network service platform.

8. The method for sharing community network service information as recited in claim 6, wherein the data server periodically confirms whether the user updates the information in the community network service platform or not.

9. The method for sharing community network service information as recited in claim 1, further comprising:

periodically confirming whether the friends in the friend list update the community network service information or not.

10. The method for sharing community network service information as recited in claim 9, further comprising:

sending the updated community network service information to the user if the friends in the friend list have updated the community network service information.

11. A system for sharing community network service information, being provided for a user to share community network service information with friends of the user, said system comprising:

a data server; and

an intrnet access device, being provided for the user to set the community network service information and go web surfing to download a friend list;

wherein the user uses the intrnet access device to log onto the data server such that the data server can receive the community network service information and the friend list of the user, and the data server confirms whether at least one friend in the friend list has logged onto the data server or not; and

wherein if at least one friend in the friend list has logged onto the data server, the data server sends the community network service information of the user to the friends who have logged on.

12. The system for sharing community network service information as recited in claim 11, wherein the friend list comprises information of the friends set in an instant message service platform by the user.

13. The system for sharing community network service information as recited in claim 12, wherein the user logs onto the instant message service platform via the data server so as to download the friend list from the instant message service platform.

14. The system for sharing community network service information as recited in claim 13, wherein the data server integrates the friend list and the community network service information of the friends in the friend list and sends the integrated information to the intrnet access device.

15. The system for sharing community network service information as recited in claim 11, wherein the data server sends the community network service information of the friends logged on to the intrnet access device.

16. The system for sharing community network service information as recited in claim 11, wherein the intrnet access device sends the account of a community network service platform to the data server, and the data server confirms whether the user updates the information in the community network service platform or not according to the account, and if yes, the updated information of the user is downloaded from the community network service platform.

17. The system for sharing community network service information as recited in claim 16, wherein the updated information of the user is sent to the friends logged on after the data server has downloaded the updated information of the user from the community network service platform.

18. The system for sharing community network service information as recited in claim 16, wherein the data server periodically confirms whether the user updates the information in the community network service platform or not.

19. The system for sharing community network service information as recited in claim 11, wherein the data server periodically confirms whether the friends logged on update the community network service information or not.

20. The system for sharing community network service information as recited in claim 19, wherein the data server sends the updated community network service information to the intrnet access device if the friends logged on have updated the community network service information.
