Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and discloses a user registration method, an interaction method and related devices. The user registration method includes: receiving an invite request that is sent by a registered user of a system through a first system client, where the invite request includes an identifier of an unregistered user of the system; obtaining a temporary account allocated to the unregistered user of the system and valid in the system; sending, according to the identifier of the unregistered user of the system, the temporary account to a terminal used by the unregistered user of the system. By use of the present invention, registered users of one system are capable of interacting with unregistered users of the system.
