Method and system for synchronizing duplicated contents in multiple terminals

摘要

The present application discloses methods and systems for synchronizing duplicated contents between multiple terminals. By establishing a mapping relationship between multiple accounts for different application programs installed on different terminals, a server may transmit captured contents between the accounts so that the contents are displayed and/or further distributed. After receiving a content forwarding request from a second account associated with a browser application in a second terminal, the server may process the content forwarding request, which includes the captured contents and identifiers. Using the identifiers and the mapping relationship, the server may identify a first terminal with an instant messaging application having a first account. The captured contents may be transferred to the first account so that the captured contents may be displayed and/or further distributed. The present application provides additional convenience and efficiency for multi-terminal operations.

主权项

1. A method for copying contents between a first terminal and a second terminal, the method comprising:
at a server having one or more processors and memory storing programs executed by the one or more processors,
establishing a mapping relationship between a first account of an instant messaging application installed on the first terminal and a second account of a browser application installed on the second terminal, wherein the first account at the first terminal is a participant in a communication session with one or more other accounts of the instant messaging application at one or more recipient terminals and the second account of the browser application does not participate in the communication session;receiving a content forwarding request from the second terminal through the second account of the browser application, wherein the content forwarding request includes content captured by a user of the second terminal using the browser application and an identifier of the second account of the browser application, and the content forwarding request is generated in response to the user selecting a content-sharing option in the browser application after capturing the content; andin response to the content forwarding request:
identifying an identifier of the first account of the instant messaging application installed on the first terminal according to the mapping relationship; andsending a message to the first terminal and the one or more recipient terminals participating in the communication session, the message including the captured content, wherein the first terminal is configured to extract the captured content from the message and display the captured content in a predefined field of the communication session in the instant messaging application installed on the first terminal.
