    摘要: A server receives a group message from a first user account in a social networking platform, the group message to be sent to a plurality of user accounts, and determines whether the group message refers to one or more user accounts of the plurality of user accounts. For a respective user account referred to by the group message, the server sends a notification to a terminal associated with the respective user account, wherein the notification is rendered at the terminal in a first manner configured by the respective user account. For a respective user account not referred to by the group message, the server sends a notification to a terminal associated with the respective user account, wherein the notification is rendered at the terminal in a second manner configured by the social networking platform, wherein the second manner is different from the first manner.

    摘要: This application is directed to a geographic information display method. While a first mobile device is executing an instant messaging application, it obtains its own geographic location information, a second mobile device's geographic location information, and a first timestamp at which the geographic location information is recorded. The first mobile device then displays an interactive map associated with the first timestamp on a user interface. The displayed map includes two marks that represent the locations of the first and second mobile devices, respectively, and instant messages exchanged between these two mobile devices are displayed on the map adjacent to the two marks. As the first mobile device obtains updated geographic location information in association with a second timestamp, it updates the location of the second mobile device while the mark corresponding to the first mobile device remains at the same location on the user interface.

    摘要: A method, device, and terminal for displaying multiple users' locations on a map. The method includes: acquiring in real time, the most current locations of all the users who participate through an instant messaging chat system to share in sharing their locations; determining a starting location on a map, creating a starting region centered on the starting location, and gradually expanding the starting region in accordance with the most current location of each of the users who participate in sharing their locations, until a target region including the most current locations of all the users who participate in sharing their locations is acquired; and determining and displaying a viewable region on the map in accordance with the target region. The target region starting region expands to display a viewable region on the map as determined, such that the most current locations of users participating in sharing location is efficiently acquired.
