In the existing instant messaging software, if a group needs to be created, group members need to be invited one by one, and the operation is repeated, and particularly, creating a new group on the basis of the existing group is not convenient enough. For example, it is assumed that the user has already created the group a, the group b, and the group c …, and at this time, if the user wants to create a total group based on these groups, the user can only invite the group members to enter the group one by one, and the existing groups are not fully utilized.

In view of this, the embodiment of the present invention provides a group creation method and a terminal device, which can receive a first input of a user for M group identifiers; responding to the first input, and generating a target group according to M groups corresponding to the M group identifications; wherein the target group includes members of the M groups, and the identifier of each member indicates the group to which the member belongs before the target group is generated, M is an integer greater than 1. Through the scheme, the embodiment of the invention can select a plurality of groups on the basis of the existing groups, combine the groups and directly generate a total group, thereby avoiding repeated operation of inviting group members one by one when the group is created. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention can improve the convenience of the group creation function of the terminal equipment.

The embodiment of the invention aims to provide a new method for creating a group for instant messaging software, namely, a new group is combined and created on the basis of a plurality of existing groups, so that repeated operation of inviting group members is avoided, and the group creation is fast and convenient.

The terminal device in the embodiment of the present invention may be a terminal device having an operating system. The operating system may be an Android (Android) operating system, an ios operating system, or other possible operating systems, and embodiments of the present invention are not limited in particular.

The following describes a software environment applied by the group creation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, taking an android operating system as an example.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an architecture of a possible android operating system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 1, the architecture of the android operating system includes 4 layers, which are respectively: an application layer, an application framework layer, a system runtime layer, and a kernel layer (specifically, a Linux kernel layer).

The application program layer comprises various application programs (including system application programs and third-party application programs) in an android operating system.

The application framework layer is a framework of the application, and a developer can develop some applications based on the application framework layer under the condition of complying with the development principle of the framework of the application.

The system runtime layer includes libraries (also called system libraries) and android operating system runtime environments. The library mainly provides various resources required by the android operating system. The android operating system running environment is used for providing a software environment for the android operating system.

The kernel layer is an operating system layer of an android operating system and belongs to the bottommost layer of an android operating system software layer. The kernel layer provides kernel system services and hardware-related drivers for the android operating system based on the Linux kernel.

Taking an android operating system as an example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a developer may develop a software program for implementing the group creation method provided in the embodiment of the present invention based on the system architecture of the android operating system shown in fig. 1, so that the group creation method may run based on the android operating system shown in fig. 1. That is, the processor or the terminal device may implement the group creation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention by running the software program in the android operating system.

The terminal equipment in the embodiment of the invention can be a mobile terminal or a non-mobile terminal. For example, the mobile terminal may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm top computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and the like, and the non-mobile terminal may be a Personal Computer (PC), a Television (TV), a teller machine, a self-service machine, and the like, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited in particular.

The execution subject of the group creation method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be the terminal device, or a functional module and/or a functional entity capable of implementing the group creation method in the terminal device, which may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited. The following takes a terminal device as an example to exemplarily explain the group creation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

The group creation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is exemplarily described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a group creation method, which may include S200 and S201 described below.

S200, the terminal equipment receives first input of the user aiming at the M group identifications.

Wherein, each group id in the M group ids is used to indicate a group, and M may be an integer greater than 1.

In the embodiment of the invention, if a user needs to create a new group on the basis of a plurality of created groups, the user can perform first input on the plurality of groups at the moment to trigger the terminal device to generate a new group based on the plurality of groups.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, each of the M groups may be a session group (communication group) in the communication application program, or a session group in the conference system, and the user may perform a first input on a plurality of groups in the communication application program to trigger the plurality of groups to be merged to obtain a new group.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, each group in the M groups in the terminal device may be displayed in a control form, for example, each group in the M groups may be displayed as a group control; or each group in the M groups may be displayed in an icon form, for example, each group in the M groups may be displayed as a group icon, or may be displayed in any other form meeting the actual use requirement, which may be determined according to the actual use requirement, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

It should be noted that, for convenience of description and understanding, each group of the M groups is exemplified as a group in the following description. As shown in fig. 3, three groups and one contact are exemplarily shown, the M groups may include at least two of group 1, group 2, and group 3, and the user may perform a first input for the at least two groups to trigger the terminal device to generate a new group based on the at least two groups.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first input may be an input of the user for the M group identifiers, and the form of the first input is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention, and the following manner a and manner b exemplarily illustrate possible implementation forms of the first input.

In a first mode

In the case that M is 2, assuming that M groups include a first group and a second group, and M group identifiers corresponding to the M groups include a first group identifier and a second group identifier, the first input may be an input that a user drags the first group identifier to an area where the second group identifier is located.

For example, taking M groups including group 1 and group 2 as an example, the first input may be an input that a user drags the identifier of group 1 to an area where the identifier of group 2 is located; alternatively, the first input may be an input in which the user drags the identifier of the group 2 to the area where the identifier of the group 1 is located.

Mode two

In the case that M is an integer greater than 2, assuming that M groups include at least three groups, and M group ids corresponding to the M groups include at least three group ids, the first input may be a selection input of the M group ids by a user.

Illustratively, taking M groups including group 1, group 2, and group 3 as an example, the first input may be a selection input of the group 1 identifier, the group 2 identifier, and the group 3 identifier by the user. At this time, the first input may be an input of selecting the identifier of group 1, the identifier of group 2, and the identifier of group 3 by a click operation, or may be an input of selecting the identifier of group 1, the identifier of group 2, and the identifier of group 3 by finger pinch.

It should be noted that, if the at least three groups that the user needs to merge are not arranged consecutively, the user may first adjust the display position of the group identifier, so that the at least three groups that need to merge are arranged consecutively, and then perform the fast group operation.

It should be further noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first input is taken as an example of an input of the user to the M group identifiers, and it can be understood that, in actual implementation, when each group identifier in the M groups in the terminal device is a group control, the first input may be an input of the user to the group control.

S201, the terminal device responds to the first input, and generates a target group according to M groups corresponding to the M group identifications.

Wherein the target group may include members of the M groups, and the identity of each member (e.g., a single contact) may indicate the group to which the member belongs prior to generating the target group, M being an integer greater than 1.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after the user performs the first input for the M groups, the terminal device may generate the target group according to the M groups.

For example, in the case where M is 2, in conjunction with fig. 3, as shown in (a) of fig. 4, the user may drag or move group 1 to the area where group 2 is located (i.e., the first input described above). Accordingly, as shown in (b) of fig. 4, the terminal device may generate a target group based on group 1 and group 2 in response to the first input, and the target group may include the contacts in group 1 and the contacts in group 2.

Further exemplarily, in the case where M is an integer greater than 2, as shown in fig. 5 (a), the user may select group 1, group 2, and group 3 within the two-finger region by a two-finger pinch motion (i.e., the above-described first input). Accordingly, as shown in (b) of fig. 5, the terminal device may generate a target group, which may include contacts in group 1, contacts in group 2, and contacts in group 3, based on group 1, group 2, and group 3 in response to the first input. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention can realize the rapid grouping of at least three groups, thereby improving the convenience of the group establishing function of the terminal equipment.

In the embodiment of the present invention, compared with the operation that one group needs to be invited one by one when creating a group in the prior art, the embodiment of the present invention can realize that a new large group is generated based on two groups by dragging a certain group to another group area. Therefore, repeated operation of inviting group members one by one can be avoided, and convenience of a group creation function of the terminal equipment can be improved.

It should be noted that, the group creation in the communication application is taken as an exemplary description, and it is understood that the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto, for example, the method for creating a new group based on an existing group provided in the embodiment of the present invention may also be used in the field of conference systems and the like, for example, two real-time conferences are combined into one, and the essence is that multiple groups of individuals are combined into one group; so that all members of one group can be invited to join the group.

It should be further noted that, the above is an exemplary description taking merging of at least two groups to obtain a new group as an example, it is understood that the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto, for example, the embodiment of the present invention may also merge at least one contact and at least one group quickly to obtain a new group by performing a first input on the at least one contact and the at least one group.

The group creation method provided by the embodiment of the invention can receive the first input of a user aiming at M group identifications; responding to the first input, and generating a target group according to M groups corresponding to the M group identifications; wherein the target group includes members of the M groups, and the identifier of each member indicates the group to which the member belongs before the target group is generated, M is an integer greater than 1. Through the scheme, the embodiment of the invention can select a plurality of groups on the basis of the existing groups, combine the groups and directly generate a total group, thereby avoiding repeated operation of inviting group members one by one when the group is created. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention can improve the convenience of the group creation function of the terminal equipment.

Optionally, with reference to fig. 2, as shown in fig. 6, after the above S201, the group creation method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following S202.

S202, the terminal device displays a target identification, and the target identification is used for indicating a target group.

And the target mark displays sub marks corresponding to the M groups. The target identifier may be a control icon.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after the terminal device generates the target group based on the M groups, the terminal device may display a target identifier, where the target identifier may be used to indicate the target group, and the target group may include members in the M groups. Therefore, the user can know that a group is newly generated through the identifier, and can trigger and display the group members in the newly generated group through inputting the identifier, so that the convenience of the group creating function of the terminal equipment can be improved.

For example, referring back to fig. 4 (b), after the terminal device generates the target group based on the group 1 and the group 2, the terminal device may display a control icon 31 (i.e., the above-mentioned target identifier) for indicating the target group, and the control icon 31 may visually display which groups (group 1 and group 2) are formed.

As another example, referring back to fig. 5 (b), after the terminal device generates the target group based on the group 1, the group 2, and the group 3, the terminal device may display a control icon 32 (i.e., the above-mentioned target identifier) for indicating the target group, and the control icon 32 may visually display which groups (the group 1, the group 2, and the group 3) constitute.

Optionally, with reference to fig. 6, as shown in fig. 7, after the above S202, the group creation method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following S203 and S204.

S203, the terminal equipment receives a second input of the target identification from the user.

The second input may be used to trigger display of a member in the target group indicated by the target identifier.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the second input may be a click input (for example, a single click input or a double click input) of the target identifier by the user, and may also be any other input that meets an actual use requirement, which may be determined specifically according to the actual use requirement, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

And S204, the terminal equipment responds to the second input and displays a target interface, wherein the target interface comprises at least two panelist identifications, and the at least two panelist identifications are different.

Wherein each of the at least two panelist identifications may be used to indicate a panelist.

In the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the target group is a target group, and each of the at least two member identifiers may be a contact identifier, such as a contact name, a contact icon, and the like.

For example, in the following, taking merging at least two groups as an example, assume that a user selects an identifier of group 1, an identifier of group 2, and an identifier of group 3, where group 1 has members a, b, c, d; group 2 has members a, b, e, f; group 3 has members a, g, h, k. If the user triggers the group creation operation, the actual algorithm is as follows:

(1) putting all the members in the group 1, the group 2 and the group 3 into a temporary set T, wherein the set T comprises the members (a, b, c, d; a, b, e, f; a, g, h, k);

(2) deduplication against members (e.g., member identifications) in the set T, the processed set T including members (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, k);

(3) based on the members in set T, a new group is created that includes members (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, k), each member in the new group being different.

Also exemplarily, taking the merging of at least one group and at least one contact as an example below, assume that the user selects the identifier of group 1, the identifier of group 2, and the identifier of contact 1, where group 1 has members a, b, c, d; group 2 has members a, b, e, f. If the user triggers the group creation operation, the actual algorithm is as follows:

(a) putting all the members in the group 1 and the group 2 and the contact 1 into a temporary set T, wherein the set T comprises the members (a, b, c, d; a, b, e, f; contact 1);

(b) removing duplicate for members (such as member identifiers) in the set T, wherein the set T is (a, b, c, d, e, f, contact 1) after processing;

(c) based on the members in set T, a new group is created that includes members (a, b, c, d, e, f, contact 1), each member in the new group being different.

In the embodiment of the invention, the target group can be obtained by combining based on at least two groups, and the identifiers of all members in the target group are removed, so that different member identifiers can be displayed in the newly generated target group, and the convenience of the group creation function of the terminal equipment can be improved.

Optionally, the target identifier may include M sub-identifiers, and each sub-identifier may be used to indicate one of the M groups. Referring back to (b) in fig. 5, the target identifier is a control icon 32, and the control icon 32 may include three sub-identifiers: the "group 1" mark, the "group 2" mark, and the "group 3" mark, so that the user can visually check which groups (group 1, group 2, and group 3) the new group is composed of through the control icon 32.

For example, referring to fig. 6, as shown in fig. 8, after S202 described above, the group creation method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S205 and S206 described below.

S205, the terminal device receives a third input of the user on a target area, wherein the target area is used for displaying the M sub-identifiers.

Wherein the third input may be a sliding input of the user on the target area.

S206, the terminal equipment responds to the third input, and sequentially updates and displays the M sub-identifiers in the target area.

Optionally, since the new group is created based on multiple groups, all group icons may not be displayed on the target area completely, for example, N of the M sub-identifiers are visible to the user (N may be a positive integer less than M). In the embodiment of the invention, the user can slide leftwards or rightwards on the target area to trigger the switching and display of each group. Therefore, the user can conveniently and intuitively check which groups form the new group, and convenience of the group creation function of the terminal equipment can be improved.

It should be noted that fig. 8 in the above embodiment of the present invention is described in conjunction with fig. 6 as an example, and when the embodiment is specifically implemented, fig. 8 may also be implemented in conjunction with fig. 7.

Optionally, after generating a target group based on a plurality of existing groups and displaying the target identifier, the user may input the target identifier to trigger moving out of one of the target groups.

For example, referring to fig. 6, as shown in fig. 9, after S202 described above, the group creation method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S207 to S210 described below.

And S207, the terminal equipment receives a fourth input aiming at the target identification from the user.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the fourth input may be a long-press input by the user on the target identifier (that is, an input in which the press duration exceeds a preset duration), or may be a single-click input by the user on a certain control (for triggering the M sub-identifiers to be in an editable state) on the target identifier, or may be a long-press input by the user on an area where the target identifier is located, or may be any other possible input, which may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and this embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

And S208, the terminal equipment responds to the fourth input and controls the M sub-identifiers to be in an editable state.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the M sub identifiers are in an editable state, each of the M sub identifiers may be subjected to an editing operation by a user, for example, a display position of a certain sub identifier in the target area is adjusted, or a certain sub identifier is removed from the target area.

S209, the terminal equipment receives a fifth input of the user to the first sub-identifier in the M sub-identifiers.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the fifth input may be a dragging input that the user drags the first sub identifier out of the target area, or may be a single-click input of the user on the deletion control on the first sub identifier, or may be any other possible input, which may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

S210, the terminal device responds to the fifth input, the member in the third group is deleted from the target group, and the display of the first sub-identifier in the target identifier is cancelled, wherein the third group is the group indicated by the first sub-identifier.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 10, the target group is created based on group 1 and group 2, and the control icon 31 displays a "group 1" identifier and a "group 2" identifier in the target area. In the case where the "group 1" identifier and the "group 2" identifier are in an editable state, the user may hold the "group 2" identifier and drag it out of the target area (i.e., the fifth input described above). Accordingly, the terminal device may delete the contact in "group 2" from the target group and cancel the display of the "group 2" identification in the control icon 31.

According to the scheme, in the newly generated group, if a user needs to quickly remove a certain previous group, the user only needs to press the control area for a long time to trigger the control area to enter a deletable mode, and at the moment, if the user presses the group icon needing to be deleted to upwards or downwards scratch out the target area, the member of the group can be quitted from the newly generated group.

Further illustratively, as shown in fig. 11, the target group is created based on group 1 and group 2, and the control icon 31 displays a "group 1" identifier and a "group 2" identifier in the target area. With the "group 1" and "group 2" identifications in an editable state, the user may click on the delete control on the "group 2" identification (i.e., the fifth input described above). Accordingly, the terminal device may delete the contact in "group 2" from the target group and cancel the display of the "group 2" identification in the control icon 31.

According to the scheme, in the newly generated group, if a user needs to quickly remove a certain previous group, the user only needs to press the control area for a long time to trigger the control area to enter a deletable mode, and at the moment, the user can click a 'close' button at the upper right corner of the icon, so that the group can be removed from the newly generated group.

In the embodiment of the invention, a new group can be obtained based on the combination of a plurality of existing groups, and a group can be deleted from the new group quickly, so that the convenience of the group creation function of the terminal equipment can be improved.

It should be noted that fig. 9 in the above embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in combination with fig. 6, and when the embodiment is specifically implemented, fig. 9 may also be implemented in combination with any other combinable drawings (e.g., fig. 7 and fig. 8).

It should be noted that, the above is an exemplary illustration of triggering the merging of M groups according to M group identifiers to directly generate a total group, and it is understood that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, for example, the above group merging method is also applicable to a folder merging scenario. Specifically, assuming that the M groups are M folders, the user may perform a first input on M folder identifiers (corresponding to the M folders) on the desktop of the terminal device, and trigger the M folders to be merged to obtain a new folder.

Specifically, S200 and S201 described above can be realized by S200b and S201b described below.

S200b, the terminal equipment receives first input of the M folder identifications by the user.

The M folder identifications correspond to M folders, and each of the M folders may include at least two files.

S201b, the terminal device responds to the first input, and generates a target folder according to the M folders corresponding to the M folder identifications.

Wherein the target folder may include files in the M folders, and the identifier of each file indicates the folder to which the file belongs before the target folder was generated.

For a specific description of the multiple folder merging method, reference may be made to the description of merging multiple groups in the foregoing method embodiment, and details are not described here for avoiding repetition.
