if yes, concealing the upper text information display layer.
For example, a computer platform is used as an example. When a mouse pointer is moved to a video display image, it is regarded that a current operation coordinate of the mouse pointer falls within a coordinate range of the video display image. In this case, as shown in FIG.6, a  concealing function of an upper text information display layer is triggered. It is convenient for users to perform a video chat operation when the upper text information display layer is concealed.
In addition, as a preferred embodiment, after it is determined that the operation coordinate falls within the coordinate range of the video display image, a process of concealing the upper text information display layer may specifically include the following steps:
acquiring a coordinate range of a text information display area；
determining whether the operation coordinate also falls within the coordinate range of the text information display area； and
if yes, indicating that the video display image overlaps with the text information display area and the current mouse pointer moves to the overlapped area； in this case, skipping triggering the concealing function of the upper text information display layer； and if not, indicating that the video display image does not overlap with the text information display area or the current mouse pointer is within the video display image and outside the text information display area； in this case, concealing the upper text information display layer. Misoperation can be avoided effectively and true intentions of a user can be acquired by using the foregoing steps.
After the concealing function of the upper text information display layer is triggered, triggering of a display function of the upper text information display layer is further provided in this embodiment of the present invention. As a preferred embodiment, after the concealing the upper text information display layer, the following step may be further included: when it is detected that the operation coordinate moves out of a coordinate range of the video chat window, triggering the display function of the upper text information display layer, that is, restoring display of the upper text information display layer. Certainly, a function button for enabling text shielding on an interface may be further clicked to conceal or display the upper text information display layer, as shown in FIG.7.
As a preferred embodiment, after the presenting a video chat window, the following steps may be further included:
