Reference notification method and apparatus
First Claim
1. A reference notification method comprising:
- under control of one or more processors configured with executable instructions;
obtaining an instant message sent from a sending user;
selecting a contact that satisfies a predetermined criterion from contacts of the sending user;
determining, for the selected contact, content of interest to the selected contact;
finding content of interest included in the obtained instant message based on the determined content of interest; and
for the found content of interest, sending, to the contact corresponding to the content of interest, a reference notification message notifying the contact that the content of interest is referenced.

Abstract
A method and an apparatus of reference notification comprises obtaining an instant message that is sent from a sending user. A contact is selected that satisfies a predetermined criterion from contacts of the sending user. For the selected contact, content is determined that is of interest to the selected contact, and content is found that is of interest and is included in the obtained instant message based on the determined content of interest. Based on the found content of interest, a reference notification message is sent to a contact corresponding to the found content of interest, for notifying the contact that the content of interest is referenced. By using the technical scheme of the present disclosure, the problems of existing technologies that a user cannot accurately and quickly determine whether an instant message references content with which he/she is concerned are solved.

13. A reference notification apparatus comprising:
-
one or more processors; memory communicatively coupled to the one or more processors; an acquisition unit stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors that is configured to obtain an instant message that is sent from a sending user; a selection unit stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors that is configured to select a contact that satisfies a predetermined criterion from contacts of the sending user; a first determination unit stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors that is configured to determine, for the contact selected by the selection unit, content that is of interest to the contact; a searching unit stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors that is configured to find content of interest included in the instant message obtained by the acquisition unit based on the content determined by the first determination unit; and a sending unit stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors that is configured to send, to a contact corresponding to the found content of interest, a reference notification message for notifying the contact corresponding to the found content of interest that the content of interest is referenced. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media configured with computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, configure the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
-
obtaining an instant message sent from a sending user; selecting one or more contacts that satisfy a predetermined criterion from contacts of the sending user; for each of the one or more selected contacts, determining content of interest to the respective one of the one or more selected contacts; finding content of interest included in the obtained instant message based on the determined content of interest to each of the one or more selected contacts; and sending a reference notification message to a contact corresponding to the found content of interest, the reference notification message notifying the corresponding contact that the found content of interest is referenced.
