Abstract

Discloses is a method and system for information sharing. The method includes obtaining an information exported file by exporting the information to be shared, and storing the information exported file according to an assigned network address; generating a two-dimensional code according to the network address of the stored information exported file; sharing the generated two-dimensional code, and importing the information exported file by scanning the shared two-dimensional code. The system includes an export processing module, a two-dimensional code generating module, a two-dimensional code sharing module, and an importing module.

Claims (54)

1. A method for an information sharing system, the method comprising:

by (i) a first electronic device of a first client,

collecting information including at least bookmarks and contact information,

triggering an information share command to share the collected information with a second client,

sending the information share command to a back-end server to obtain the collected information from the back-end server when a backup function of the first electronic device is enabled,

extracting the collected information locally from the first electronic device and send the collected information to the back-end server when the backup function of the first electronic device is disabled;

by (ii) the back-end server,

storing information backed up from other devices,

generating an information exported file based on the collected information to be shared,

assigning a network address to the information exported file,

storing the information exported file according to the assigned network address, wherein the first electronic device generates a two-dimensional code according to the assigned network address of the information exported file and shares the generated two-dimensional code with a second electronic device of the second client; and

by (iii) the second electronic device of the second client, importing the information exported file by using the two-dimensional code shared by the first electronic device, instead of logging into respective social networking tools or mailbox, for viewing the information to be shared.

2. The information sharing method of claim 1 , wherein when the backup function of the first electronic device is enabled, further comprising:

logging in to a user account of the first client, and uploading the information share command to the back-end server according to the user account; and

finding the information to be shared that is stored in the back-end server which is corresponding to the information share command according to the user account.

3. The information sharing method of claim 1 , when the backup function of the first electronic device is disabled, further comprising:

exporting the information to be shared that is stored in the first electronic device to obtain the information exported file; and

uploading the information exported file, and storing the information exported file to the assigned network address.

4. An information sharing system including at least a first electronic device of a first client, a back-end server, and a second electronic device of a second client, the information sharing system comprising:

first processing circuitry of the first electronic device of the first client configured to:

collect information including at least bookmarks and contact information,

trigger an information share command to share the collected information with a second client,

when a backup function of the first electronic device is enabled, send the information share command to a back-end server to obtain the collected information from the back-end server, and

when the backup function of the first electronic device is disabled, extract the collected information locally from the first electronic device and send the collected information to the back-end server;

the back-end server configured to:

store information backed up from other devices,

generate an information exported file based on the collected information to be shared,

assign a network address to the information exported file,

store the information exported file according to the assigned network address, wherein the first processing circuitry of the first electronic device generates a two-dimensional code according to the assigned network address of the information exported file and shares the generated two-dimensional code with a second electronic device of the second client; and

second processing circuitry of the second electronic device of the second client configured to import the information exported file by using the two-dimensional code shared by the first electronic device, instead of logging into respective social networking tools or mailbox, for viewing the information to be shared.

5. The information sharing system of claim 4 , wherein when the backup function of the first electronic device is enabled, the back-end server is further configured to:

log in to a user account of the first client, and upload the information share command to the back-end server according to the user account; and

find the information to be shared that is stored in the back-end server which is corresponding to the information share command according to the user account.

6. The information sharing system of claim 4 , wherein when the backup function of the first electronic device is disabled, the first processing circuitry of the first electronic device of the first client is further configured to:

export the information to be shared that is stored in the first electronic device to obtain the information exported file; and

upload the information exported file, and store the information exported file to the assigned network address.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a plurality of instructions, different parts of the instructions to be executed by a first electronic device, a back-end server, and a second electronic device for performing an information sharing method, the method comprising:

by (i) the first electronic device of a first client,

collecting information including at least bookmarks and contact information,

triggering an information share command to share the collected information with a second client,

sending the information share command to a back-end server to obtain the collected information from the back-end server when a backup function of the first electronic device is enabled,

extracting the collected information locally from the first electronic device and send the collected information to the back-end server when the backup function of the first electronic device is disabled;

by (ii) the back-end server,

storing information backed up from other devices,

generating an information exported file based on the collected information to be shared,

assigning a network address to the information exported file,

storing the information exported file according to the assigned network address, wherein the first electronic device generates a two-dimensional code according to the assigned network address of the information exported file and shares the generated two-dimensional code with a second electronic device of the second client; and

by (iii) the second electronic device of the second client, importing the information exported file by using the two-dimensional code shared by the first electronic device, instead of logging into respective social networking tools or mailbox, for viewing the information to be shared.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein when the backup function of the first electronic device is enabled, further comprising:

logging in to a user account of the first client, and uploading the information share command to the back-end server according to the user account; and

finding the information to be shared that is stored in the back-end server which is corresponding to the information share command according to the user account.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein when the backup function of the first electronic device is disabled, further comprising:

exporting the information to be shared that is stored in the first electronic device to obtain the information exported file; and

uploading the information exported file, and storing the information exported file to the assigned network address.
