步骤 201 , 即时通讯客户端接收即时通讯用户向即时通讯联系人发送 Email的触发，根据该触发组织 Email数据包，将组织的 Email数据包发给即时通讯服务器。 Step 201: The instant messaging client receives a trigger for the instant messaging user to send an email to the instant messaging contact, and sends an organization email data packet to the instant messaging server according to the triggering organization email data packet.

本步骤中的即时通讯客户端可以运行在 PC机上也可以运行在手机等移动终端上。其中，当手机采用的通信协议与即时通讯服务器采用的通信协议不一致时，可以由代理服务器在所述手机和所述即时通讯服务器之间进行进行协议的中转，从而实现手机上的即时通讯客户端与即时通讯服务器的通信；当手机采用的通信协议与即时通讯服务器采用的通信协议一致时，则不需要设置所述代理服务器，手机上的即时通讯客户端直接与即时通讯服务器通信即可。 The instant messaging client in this step can run on a PC or on a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone. Wherein, when the communication protocol used by the mobile phone is inconsistent with the communication protocol used by the instant messaging server, the proxy server may perform a protocol transfer between the mobile phone and the instant messaging server, thereby implementing an instant messaging client on the mobile phone. Communication with the instant messaging server; When the communication protocol used by the mobile phone is consistent with the communication protocol used by the instant messaging server, the proxy server does not need to be set, and the instant messaging client on the mobile phone can directly communicate with the instant messaging server.

本步骤中，即时通讯客户端接收即时通讯用户向即时通讯联系人发送 Email的触发，根据该触发组织 Email数据包。具体地，在现有的即时通讯聊天界面中增加将即时通讯聊天内容作为 Email发给即时通讯联系人的接口，该接口可以是一个按鈕，也可以是一个超链接，即时通讯客户端通过该接口接收向即时通讯联系人发送 Email的触发。 In this step, the instant messaging client receives the trigger that the instant messaging user sends an email to the instant messaging contact, and organizes the email packet according to the trigger. Specifically, in the existing The instant messaging chat interface adds an interface for sending the instant messaging chat content as an email to the instant messaging contact. The interface can be a button or a hyperlink, and the instant messaging client receives the instant messaging contact through the interface. Email trigger.

即时通讯客户端接收到所述触发后，将所述即时通讯用户的 Email 地址、所述即时通讯用户选择的即时通讯聊天内容、以及接收所述即时通讯聊天内容的即时通讯联系人的 Email地址分别作为待发送 Email的源地址、数据区内容和目的地址来组织 Email数据包。其中，即时通讯用户的 Email地址和即时通讯联系人的 Email地址通常都是预先存储在即时通讯客户端中的，也可以预先存储在即使通讯服务器侧，然后即时通讯客户端定时从所述即时通讯服务器侧拉取所述 Email地址。即时通讯客户端组织好 Email数据包后，将所述 Email数据包发给即时通讯月良务器。 After receiving the trigger, the instant messaging client respectively sets an email address of the instant messaging user, an instant messaging chat content selected by the instant messaging user, and an email address of an instant messaging contact that receives the instant messaging chat content respectively. The email packet is organized as the source address, data area content, and destination address of the email to be sent. The instant messaging user's email address and the instant messaging contact's email address are usually pre-stored in the instant messaging client, or may be pre-stored on the communication server side, and then the instant messaging client is timed from the instant messaging. The server side pulls the email address. After the instant messaging client organizes the email packet, the email packet is sent to the instant messaging server.

本步骤中，即时通讯用户选定作为待发送 Email的数据区内容的即时通讯聊天内容可以是当前输入的文字内容，也可以是聊天记录，还可以是图片、或者是音频文件或视频文件。其中当前输入的文字内容或聊天记录通常作为 Email正文组织在 Email数据包的数据区中，图片、音频文件或视频文件通常作为 Email附件组织在 Email数据包的数据区中，之间的关系，例如，存储当前输入的文字与图片、音频文件或视频文件彼此之间的连接关系。 In this step, the instant communication user selected by the instant messaging user as the data area of the email to be sent may be the currently input text content, or may be a chat record, or may be a picture, or an audio file or a video file. The currently input text content or chat record is usually organized as an email body in the data area of the email packet, and the relationship between the picture, audio file or video file is usually organized as an email attachment in the data area of the email packet, for example , stores the connection between the currently input text and the picture, audio file or video file.

在得知 Email源地址、 Email数据区内容和 Email目的地址的前提下，具体如何组织 Email数据包是本领域技术人员的公知常识。 Under the premise of knowing the email source address, the email data zone content and the email destination address, how to organize the email data packet is common knowledge of those skilled in the art.

下面举具体实例说明确定待发送 Email的源地址、数据区内容和目的地址的方法。 The following is a specific example of a method for determining the source address, data area content, and destination address of an email to be sent.

即时通讯客户端接收打开即时通讯聊天界面的触发后，打开即时通讯聊天界面，接收当前输入的即时通讯聊天内容，当即时通讯用户接收到将当前输入的即时通讯聊天内容以 Email形式发送的触发后，将所述即时通讯用户的 Email地址作为待发送 Email的源地址、将所述聊天内容作为待发送 Email的数据区内容、将所述聊天界面对应的即时通讯联系人的 Email地址作为待发送 Email的目的地址，组织 Email数据包。其中，当即时通讯用户打开的即时通讯聊天界面是与某个即时通讯好友的聊天界面时，所述聊天界面对应的即时通讯联系人是该即时通讯好面时，所述聊天界面对应的即时通讯联系人是该即时通讯用户群的所有群成员。 After the instant messaging client receives the trigger to open the instant messaging chat interface, the instant messaging is opened. The chat interface receives the currently input instant messaging chat content, and when the instant messaging user receives the trigger for sending the currently input instant messaging chat content by email, the email address of the instant messaging user is used as the source of the email to be sent. The address, the chat content is used as the data area content of the email to be sent, the email address of the instant messaging contact corresponding to the chat interface is used as the destination address of the email to be sent, and the email data packet is organized. Wherein, when the instant messaging chat interface opened by the instant messaging user is a chat interface with an instant messaging friend, when the instant messaging contact corresponding to the chat interface is the instant messaging good face, the instant messaging corresponding to the chat interface The contact is a member of all groups of the instant messaging user group.

即时通讯客户端在组织 Email数据包时，将所述即时通讯聊天内容转换为 text格式或 html格式存储在所述 Email数据包的数据区中。 When the instant messaging client organizes the email data packet, the instant messaging chat content is converted into a text format or an html format and stored in the data area of the email data packet.

本步骤中，即时通讯客户端接收即时通讯用户向即时通讯联系人发送 Email的触发后，可以直接由即时通讯客户端组织 Email数据包，将组织的 Email数据包发给即时通讯服务器，然后由即时通讯服务器将所述 Email数据包发给即时通讯联系人，因此，从向即时通讯联系人发送 Email的角度讲，可以直接在即时通讯聊天界面发送 Email, 而不必打开邮件客户端或登陆邮件服务器，缩短了向即时通讯联系人发送 Email耗费的时间，而且也不必打开单独的 Email编辑界面，方便了用户的使用，从即时通讯的角度讲，将即时通讯聊天内容以 Email的形式发给即时通讯联系人，可以利用 Email的丰富表现力提高即时通讯用户体验，而且，即便即时通讯联系人不方便登陆即时通讯客户端或者不在线，也可以通过登陆邮箱来接收即时通讯聊天内容。 In this step, after the instant messaging client receives the trigger for the instant messaging user to send the email to the instant messaging contact, the instant messaging client can directly organize the email data packet, and send the organized email data packet to the instant messaging server, and then The communication server sends the email data packet to the instant messaging contact. Therefore, from the perspective of sending an email to the instant messaging contact, the email can be directly sent in the instant messaging chat interface without opening the mail client or logging into the mail server. It shortens the time it takes to send emails to instant messaging contacts, and does not need to open a separate email editing interface, which is convenient for users to use. From the perspective of instant messaging, instant messaging chat content is sent to instant messaging by email. People can use the rich expressiveness of Email to improve the instant messaging user experience. Moreover, even if the instant messaging contact is not convenient to log in to the instant messaging client or is not online, you can also receive instant messaging chat content by logging in to the mailbox.

步骤 202, 即时通讯服务器将所述 Email数据包发给所述即时通讯联系人。本步骤中，即时通讯服务器接收到即时通讯客户端发来的 Email数据包后，即时通讯服务器建立与即时通讯联系人所在的目的邮件服务器的连接，通过所述连接将所述 Email数据包发送至所述目的邮件服务器。 Step 202: The instant messaging server sends the email data packet to the instant messaging contact. In this step, after the instant messaging server receives the email data packet sent by the instant messaging client, the instant messaging server establishes a connection with the destination mail server where the instant messaging contact is located, and sends the email data packet to the email packet through the connection. The destination mail server.

本步骤中，由于建立了即时通讯服务器与目的邮件服务器的连接，因此，可以由即时通讯服务器直接向目的邮件服务器发送 Email, 而不必登陆源邮件服务器，因此，可以缩短发送 Email的时延。 In this step, since the connection between the instant messaging server and the destination mail server is established, the instant messaging server can directly send the email to the destination mail server without having to log in to the source mail server, thereby shortening the delay of sending the email.

通过图 2的方法，可以在即时通讯界面直接给即时通讯联系人发送 Email,而不必打开邮件客户端或邮件服务器，因此，既缩短了发送 Email 的时延，也方便了即时通讯用户。 Through the method of FIG. 2, the instant messaging interface can directly send an email to the instant messaging contact without opening the mail client or the mail server, thereby shortening the delay of sending the email and facilitating the instant messaging user.

在实际应用中，即时通讯联系人不一定会时时关注其邮箱，为了能够及时通知即时通讯联系人当前有新 Email到达，还可以向即时通讯联系人的通信终端发送 Email到达通知，其中的通信终端可以是移动终端也可以是 PC机。具体地，由 Email数据包所经过的网元向所述通信终端发送 Email到达通知，例如，可以由即时通讯服务器来发送所述 Email 到达通知，也可以由目的邮件服务器来发送所述 Email到达通知。当向即时通讯联系人的 PC机发送 Email到达通知时，通过即时通讯良务器或者目的邮件服务器与即时通讯联系人所在的 PC机的通信连接，向所述 PC机发送 Email 到达通知。当向即时通讯联系人的移动终端发送 Email 到达通知时，涉及如何建立即时通讯服务器或者目的邮件服务器与即时通讯联系人的移动终端之间的通信连接的问题，下面对向移动终端发送 Email到达通知的方法进行详细介绍： In practical applications, instant messaging contacts may not always pay attention to their mailboxes. In order to be able to notify the instant messaging contacts that new emails arrive at present, they can also send email arrival notifications to the communication terminals of instant messaging contacts. It can be a mobile terminal or a PC. Specifically, the network element that is passed by the email data packet sends an email arrival notification to the communication terminal. For example, the email arrival notification may be sent by the instant messaging server, or the email arrival notification may be sent by the destination mail server. . When an email arrival notification is sent to the PC of the instant messaging contact, an email arrival notification is sent to the PC via a communication connection between the instant messaging server or the destination mail server and the PC where the instant messaging contact is located. When sending an email arrival notification to a mobile terminal of an instant messaging contact, the problem involves how to establish a communication connection between the instant messaging server or the mobile terminal of the destination mail server and the instant messaging contact, and the following is an email delivery to the mobile terminal. The method of notification is described in detail:

当由即时通讯良务器来发送所述 Email到达通知时，即时通讯务器可以在向目的邮件服务器发送 Email数据包的同时，向推送（ PUSH ) 网关发送该 Email数据包的目的地址， PUSH网关根据该目的地址向该目的地址对应的移动终端发送 PUSH短信，将该目的地址携带在所述短信中发给即时通讯联系人。其中，可以将各个 Email地址对应的移动终端用户标识预先存储在 PUSH网关中，也可以由即时通讯服务器将所述何发送 PUSH短信属于现有技术。 When the email arrival notification is sent by the instant messaging server, the instant server can send the email data packet to the destination mail server, and send the destination address of the email data packet to the push (PUSH) gateway, PUSH gateway. Sending a PUSH short message to the mobile terminal corresponding to the destination address according to the destination address, and carrying the destination address in the short The letter is sent to the instant messaging contact. The mobile terminal user identifier corresponding to each email address may be pre-stored in the PUSH gateway, or may be sent by the instant messaging server to the prior art.

另外，即时通讯服务器向目的邮件服务器发送 Email数据包的时刻和向 PUSH网关发送该 Email数据包的目的地址的时刻不必严格同步，也就是说，可以先发送所述 Email数据包，然后发送所述目的地址，也可以二者同时发送。 In addition, the moment when the instant messaging server sends the email data packet to the destination mail server and the time when the destination address of the email data packet is sent to the PUSH gateway are not strictly synchronized, that is, the email data packet may be sent first, and then the The destination address can also be sent at the same time.

当由目的邮件服务器发送所述 Email到达通知时，所述目的邮件服务器收到 Email数据包后，向 PUSH网关发送所述 Email数据包的目的地址， PUSH网关收到所述目的地址后，向所述目的地址对应的移动终端发送 PUSH短信，将该目的地址携带在所述短信中发给即时通讯联系人。其中， Email地址与移动终端用户标识的对应关系可以是预先存储在 PUSH网关中的，也可以由目的邮件服务器发给所述 PUSH网关。 When the email arrival notification is sent by the destination mail server, after receiving the email data packet, the destination mail server sends the destination address of the email data packet to the PUSH gateway, and after receiving the destination address, the PUSH gateway sends the destination address to the PUSH gateway. The mobile terminal corresponding to the destination address sends a PUSH short message, and the destination address is carried in the short message and sent to the instant messaging contact. The correspondence between the email address and the mobile terminal user identifier may be pre-stored in the PUSH gateway, or may be sent by the destination mail server to the PUSH gateway.

移动终端收到所述 PUSH短信后，可以直接登录目的邮件服务器接收所述 Email, 也可以通过网站服务器接收所述 Email, 其中的网站服务器可以是 WAP服务器或 WEB服务器，具体登陆哪种网站服务器取决于所述移动终端当前使用的网页浏览器类型。 After receiving the PUSH short message, the mobile terminal may directly log in to the destination mail server to receive the email, or may receive the email through a website server, where the website server may be a WAP server or a WEB server, and specific website server depends on which website server is determined. The type of web browser currently used by the mobile terminal.

当移动终端中安装有邮件接收程序时，移动终端通过 PUSH短信中携带的目的地址建立移动终端与目的邮件服务器的连接，通过所述连接接收邮件，其中的目的地址通常以统一资源标识符（URL )形式存在。 When the mail receiving program is installed in the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal establishes a connection between the mobile terminal and the destination mail server through the destination address carried in the PUSH short message, and receives the mail through the connection, where the destination address is usually a uniform resource identifier (URL) The form exists.

当移动终端中没有安装邮件接收程序时，移动终端通过 PUSH短信中携带的目的地址建立移动终端与 WAP服务器或 WEB服务器的连接，通过登录 WAP服务器或 WEB服务器来接收邮件。具体地， WAP服务器或 WEB服务器根据所述移动终端的登陆请求中携带的所述目的地址建立与目的邮件服务器的连接，从目的邮件服务器下载所述 Email, WAP 服务器和 WEB服务器如何从目的邮件服务器下载所述 Email属于现有技术。 When the mail receiving program is not installed in the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal establishes a connection between the mobile terminal and the WAP server or the WEB server through the destination address carried in the PUSH short message, and receives the mail by logging in to the WAP server or the WEB server. Specifically, the WAP server or the WEB server is configured according to the destination address carried in the login request of the mobile terminal. Establishing a connection with the destination mail server, downloading the email from the destination mail server, and how the WAP server and the WEB server download the email from the destination mail server belong to the prior art.

由于移动终端可以通过 WAP服务器或 WEB服务器接收 Email, 因此，即便该移动终端没有安装邮件接收程序，也能够接收 Email。 Since the mobile terminal can receive the email through the WAP server or the WEB server, the mobile terminal can receive the email even if the mail receiving program is not installed.
