Abstract

An online social networking interaction method and related device and system comprise: an initiation terminal sending a command carrying an event location and a target terminal identification entered by a user on a social networking platform to a service device; the service device sending a message carrying the event location to a target terminal based on the target terminal identification after receiving the command; the target terminal detecting whether the target terminal is present at the event location after receiving the message carrying the event location, and sending a notification that the target terminal is present at the event location to the service device if the target terminal is present; the service device sending the notification that the target terminal is present at the event location to the initiation terminal; and the target terminal detecting whether the target terminal is not present at the event location, and prompting the user to perform one or more social networking interaction operations if the target terminal is not present. The present disclosure can remind users to perform social networking interaction operations after social networking events, so that information about the social networking events can be shared with friends.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein detecting whether the target terminal is not present at the event location comprises:

detecting whether the target terminal'"'"'s location and the event location correspond, wherein

the target terminal is determined to not be present at the event location if the target terminal'"'"'s location and the event location do not correspond, and the target terminal is determined to be present at the event location if the target terminal'"'"'s location and the event location correspond.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein:

the message carrying the event location is sent from the service device based on a target terminal identification after the service device receives a command carrying the event location and the target terminal identification entered by the user on a social networking platform from an initiation terminal, and

sending the notification that the target terminal is present at the event location to the service device comprises sending the notification that the target terminal is present at the event location to the initiation terminal via the service device.

6. The method of claim 2, wherein

the invitation to the social networking event is sent from the service device based on a target terminal identification after the service device receives an invitation to the social networking event carrying the target terminal identification from an initiation terminal, and

sending the response confirming participation in the social networking event entered by the user to the service device comprises sending the response confirming participation in the social networking event entered by the user to the initiation terminal via the service device.

7. An online social networking interaction method comprising:

receiving a message carrying an event location from a service device,

detecting whether a target terminal is present at the event location,

sending a notification that the target terminal is present at the event location to the service device if the target terminal is present at the event location,

sending the target terminal'"'"'s location and the event location to the service device, enabling the service device to compare the target terminal'"'"'s location and the event location, and to send a command to perform one or more social networking interaction operations to the target terminal if the target terminal'"'"'s location and the event location do not correspond,

receiving the command to perform the one or more social networking interaction operations, and

prompting the user to perform the one or more social networking operations.

8. The method of claim 7, comprising:

receiving an invitation to a social networking event from the service device,

detecting whether the target terminal has received a response confirming participation in the social networking event entered by the user, and

sending the response confirming participation in the social networking event entered by the user to the service device if the target terminal has received the response.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein detecting whether the target terminal is present at the event location comprises:

detecting whether the target terminal'"'"'s location and the event location correspond, wherein

the target terminal is determined to be present at the event location if the target terminal'"'"'s location and the event location correspond, and the target terminal is determined to not be present at the event location if the target terminal'"'"'s location and the event location do not correspond.

10. An online social networking interaction method comprising:

receiving a command carrying an event location and a target terminal identification entered by a user on a social networking platform from an initiation terminal,

sending a message carrying the event location to a target terminal based on the target terminal identification, enabling the target terminal to detect whether the target terminal is present at the event location, and to send a notification that the target terminal is present at the event location when the target terminal is present at the event location,

receiving the notification that the target terminal is present at the event location from the target terminal, and

sending the notification that the target terminal is present at the event location to the initiation terminal.

11. The method of claim 10, comprising:

receiving an invitation to a social networking event carrying the target terminal identification entered by the user on the social networking platform from the initiation terminal,

sending an invitation to the social networking event to the target terminal based on the target terminal identification, enabling the target terminal to detect whether the target terminal has received a response confirming participation in the social networking event entered by the user, and to send the response confirming participation in the social networking event entered by the user after the target terminal has received the response confirming participation in the social networking event entered by the user,

receiving the response confirming participation in the social networking event entered by the user from the target terminal, and

sending the response confirming participation in the social networking event entered by the user to the initiation terminal.

12. The method of claim 10, comprising:

receiving the target terminal'"'"'s location and the event location from the target terminal,

comparing the target terminal'"'"'s location and the event location to see if they correspond, and

sending a command to perform one or more social networking interaction operations to the target terminal if the target terminal'"'"'s location and the event location do not correspond, enabling the target terminal to prompt the user to perform the one or more social networking interaction operations.

13. A target terminal comprising:
