detailed description

In the process of instant message interaction, because the server sends the messages of the two parties to the receiver in chronological order, the interaction information of the two parties is usually presented in chronological order in the client. For example, if two messages sent by the sender display a message from the receiver, if the two messages of the sender express a complete meaning, it is prone to ambiguity and misunderstanding after being interrupted.

In order to solve the above problems, embodiments of the present invention provide an instant message display method and apparatus. Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the features in the embodiments and the embodiments in the present application may be arbitrarily combined with each other.

First, the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

An embodiment of the present invention provides an instant message display system, as shown in FIG. 1 , including: a transmitting end, a server, and a receiving end, which can form an end-to-end through a network communication connection such as a cellular network, a wired connection, a WIFI, or a Bluetooth. Communication network equipment. In some systems, no server participates in the business process, and end-to-end transparent transmission through the network. The interaction information between users may be multimedia information such as texts and pictures. The sender and the receiver may be mobile terminals, or may be other devices such as a PC that can load the client to perform the corresponding functions. In the embodiment of the present invention, a system including a server is taken as an example for description.

The application scenarios of the embodiment of the present invention are as follows:

User A and User B conduct online chat through the message client. User A sends the message she wants to say through two messages, but User B feeds back quickly, and the message sent by User B is inserted between User A's two messages. Currently, existing chat software is usually displayed in the following order according to the time sequence of the message:

Message 1: "10:31 User A: I bought a dress today"

Message 2: "10:32 User B: I also bought a sweater"

Message 3: "10:32 User A: It's really bad."

Originally User A was an evaluation of the clothes he bought. However, the message of user B is inserted between the two messages of user A, which may cause user B to cause a misunderstanding. In actual use, User A has to explain. If the two messages of user A can be continuously displayed on both clients through technical means, the user experience can be greatly improved.

The above problem can be solved by using the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and the display position of the message 3 can be adjusted to be displayed between the message 1 and the message 2. Because the display order of the instant message is displayed by default according to the actual sending time of the instant message, the display position can be located in the client by using the time information of the instant message. In the present invention, the display position of the adjusted instant message is actually adjusted. The order in which instant messages are displayed in the client. Usually the client displays the time information of the sent and received messages when displaying the user interaction message. For example, after the message is successfully sent, the user interface displays the sending time in addition to the message. (In general, the sending time is the actual sending time of sending the instant message, and the actual sending time may be the system time of the sending end. It may be the system time of the server, specifically refer to the system settings. The actual sending time is the time when the sending end sends the message (or the time when the message is sent successfully), and the time when the server receives the sending message from the sending end.). When the server receives the instant message and sends the instant message to the receiving end, the time information is also sent to the receiving end, and the receiving end displays the received instant message and the sending time of the instant message at the sending end. Usually, the display of messages is sorted according to this time information, so the location of the message can be located with the time the message was sent.

Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The application scenario of the first embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

User A sent two messages, but received a message from User B between the two message displays. User A wishes to adjust the second message sent by himself to the first message.

The process of displaying the position adjustment of the sent instant message by using the instant message display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is as shown in FIG. 2, and includes:

Step 201: The sender acquires the actual sending time of the sent instant message of the to-be-adjusted display position and the time information of the destination display position.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the user selects and adjusts the display position of the second sent instant message as an example for description.

The actual sending time of the first sent instant message (hereinafter referred to as the first message) is T1, and the actual sending time of the second sent instant message (hereinafter referred to as the second message) is T2, then the sending The two actual sending times can be obtained in the message list.

The second sent instant message is selected by the user's operation to obtain the actual sending time of the second sent instant message. The actual sending time is notified to the receiving end, and the receiving end can know that the second sent instant is adjusted. Message. Then, by user operation, select the time information that can be adjusted to locate the new location by the second message. For example, the actual transmission time information of the first message is used to mark the destination location, and the indication time information of the destination location is notified to the receiving end, and the receiving end can know the location of the new location. Further, a display command of the second message can be obtained (the display command is issued by a user operation). For example, in the touch screen terminal, the user clicks on the second message, and after the message of the user B is dragged to the first message, the client can acquire T1, T2, and the message requesting T2 is displayed after the T1 message. This shows the command. If the second message is dragged before the first message, the client will get the message requesting T2 to display the display command before the T1 message. This display command can be represented by an indication flag and notifies the receiving end, mainly indicating that the second message is presented before or after the destination. Or by agreement, you do not need to send this indicator. If the location indicated by the time information of the destination display location has no other message display, this indicator is not needed.

The sender can change the presentation manner of the second message when the user operates, for example, after the second message is followed by the first message.

There are many ways to determine the destination display position. The user can determine the destination display position by some operation, such as clicking the sent message, selecting a function such as "modify the display position" according to the pop-up menu, and then selecting a certain location. Execute "Move here"; or click on the sent message and drag directly to a destination. Similarly, it is also possible to determine the time information for positioning the display position of the destination in a plurality of ways, or directly input a time, mark the destination display position with the time; or locate the time interval formed by the transmission time of the other two adjacent transmitted messages. Or locate at any time within this time interval, or directly with the time of transmission of a sent message (this situation needs to indicate whether it is before or after this positionable message). The implementation of the effect of selecting the destination display position is within the scope of the present invention, and will not be enumerated here.

Step 202: The sender sends the time information of the actual sending time and the destination display position of the instant message to be adjusted to the receiving end.

In this step, the time information includes an actual sending time of the instant message of the display position to be adjusted and time information corresponding to the destination display position. In this way, the receiving end can determine the corresponding instant message according to the actual sending time, and then determine the destination display location according to the time information corresponding to the destination display location, thereby completing the display of the instant message in the destination display location, without the content of the instant message being required again. send.

Step 203: The sending end and the receiving end redisplay the instant message sent by the sending end according to the destination display position.

The sending end and the receiving end redisplay the previously displayed instant message according to the instruction, such as moving the position displayed by the second message to follow the first message.

Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

An embodiment of the present invention provides an instant message display method, which can display a to-be-sent message after being sent to a specified destination. The specific process is as shown in FIG. 3:

Step 301: The sender acquires time information capable of locating the destination display location of the message to be sent. If the sender needs to insert the instant message to be sent before (or after) the sent message, the time information of the sent message of the location to be inserted can be obtained. Or acquiring a time interval formed by the transmission time of two adjacent transmitted messages to locate the destination display location; or locating the destination display location at any time within the time interval. If the destination display location is located with the time information of the sent message, there is also an indication flag indicating whether the message was sent before or after the message was sent. This indicator does not need to be sent if the system has an appointment. If it is a time interval formed by the transmission time of two adjacent transmitted messages or any time within the time interval, it can be directly positioned without an indication flag.

Step 302: The sending end carries the time information of the corresponding destination display location when sending the instant message to be sent.

In this step, by carrying the time information of the destination display location, the receiving end can be notified to display a new message at the destination display location. If the sending end also sends the indication mark before and after the destination display position, the receiving end can also insert the instant message sent by the sending end before (or after) the message corresponding to the destination display position.

Step 303: The sender and the receiver display a new instant message at the destination display location.

In the embodiment of the present invention, by using the actual sending time of the sent message, it is possible to insert a new instant message before/after the sent message, which is convenient for improving the user experience.

For example, a scenario in which user A wants to speak is divided into several messages, and user A receives a feedback message from user B when all users have not sent all the messages. Sometimes to avoid expressing incomplete meaning or avoiding misunderstanding, you need to insert a new message before User B's message and follow the message you have sent. The implementation steps of this solution are as follows:

Step 1: User A performs an actual transmission time of the transmitted message through the client when the insertion message is performed before/after the sent message.

For example, with current touch screen terminals, the user can perform some insertion actions on the user interface, such as swiping on a displayed message, or using a multi-touch swipe on two displayed messages to perform an action of inserting a new message. Of course, these actions can also be performed by other means such as user menus and buttons. When the action of inserting a new message is performed before/after the message has been sent, the client can obtain the actual sending time or two of the sent message. The time interval formed by the actual transmission time of the adjacent transmitted message or the arbitrary time in the time interval is used as the time information of the destination display position. .

Step 2: Carrying time information of the corresponding destination display location when sending the instant message to be sent.

After the user edits the instant message to be sent, the user carries the corresponding destination display location time information. For example, a field or flag is set in the message header to store this time information. This time information is usually not displayed with the content of the new message.

Step 3: The client displays the instant message (which has become sent) according to the destination display location.

When receiving the instant message, the receiving end detects whether the instant message includes the corresponding time information, and displays the received instant message according to the destination display position corresponding to the time information. The sender can display the same position for this purpose when executing the insert command, editing or sending.

In this way, the time information of the instant message can be used to insert a new message at a specified location, or to move the display position order of the sent message. Further, conventional operations such as editing/deleting of the sent instant message can be performed. For example, if the user double-clicks an sent instant message to enter the edit mode for editing, and re-sends after the edit is completed, but carries the last actual send time information, the receiver can know that the last instant message is updated. Instead of receiving a display as a normal new instant message. The carrying of the actual sending time information of the sent message can realize the editing operation of deleting, updating and the like of the sent message, which can greatly enhance the user experience for the user who uses the message client to interact.

In the above embodiment, the client obtains time information capable of locating the destination display location, and sends a special message instruction including the time information, which can change the display order of the new message or the sent message at the transceiver end, thereby improving the user experience. .

Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The embodiment of the invention provides an instant message display method, which can display an instant message according to a location specified by a client, thereby improving the user experience.

The process of adjusting the display position of the instant message by using this method is as shown in FIG. 4, including:

Step 401: The sender determines time information of a destination display location of the instant message, where the time information indicates a time before the current time;

The instant message involved in the embodiment of the present invention may be an instant message to be sent (ie, an instant message that has not yet been sent) and an instant message that has been sent (ie, an instant message that the receiving end has received and displayed).

In the embodiment of the present invention, a destination display position may be selected as a position for displaying the corresponding instant message, the destination display position may be calibrated by the time or time interval, and the corresponding time or time interval may be used as the time information of the destination display position. In general, the time information indicates the time before the current time.

This step specifically includes:

The sending end receives the time information indication generated by the user operation, where the time information indication carries the display time corresponding to the destination display position or the time interval in which the instant message can be displayed;

2. The sending end uses the display time as the time information of the destination display location, or

Selecting any time from the time interval as time information of the destination display location, or

The time interval is used as the time information of the destination display position.

Step 402: The sender notifies the receiving end of the instant message of the instant message to the receiving end of the instant message, and instructs the receiving end to display the instant message in the destination display location according to the time information.

In this step, when the instant message to be sent is sent to the receiving end, the time information of the destination display location of the instant message is sent, and the receiving end is instructed according to the The time information of the destination display location displays the instant message.

Sending, to the receiving end, the actual sending time of the sent the first instant message and the time information of the destination display position to the first instant message that has been sent, instructing the receiving end to display the location according to the destination The time information shows the first instant message corresponding to the actual sending time.

Preferably, the sender also displays the instant message according to the destination display location.

Preferably, when the time information of the destination display location of the instant message is notified to the receiving end of the instant message, the indication flag is simultaneously sent. When there is a second instant message, where the display position of the second instant message is the destination display location, the indication flag indicates that the receiving end displays the instant message before or after the second instant message.

Preferably, the instant message may be displayed before or after the second instant message according to an agreement of the service system, or the sending end and the receiving end agree to display the instant message.

Step 403: The receiving end receives time information of a destination display location of the instant message sent by the sending end, where the time information indicates a time before the current time;

In this step, the instant message sent by the sending end is received by the sending end, and the instant message sent by the sending end is received while receiving the time information of the destination display location of the instant message sent by the sending end.

In this step, for the instant message that has been sent by the sender, the actual transmission time of the instant message sent by the sender is received while receiving the time information of the destination display location of the instant message sent by the sender.

Preferably, while receiving the time information of the destination display location of the instant message sent by the sending end, receiving the indication flag sent by the sending end, the indication flag indicating that the receiving end displays the instant message before the destination display location or after that.

Preferably, the instant message may also be displayed before or after the destination display position according to a system agreement or an agreement with the sender.

Step 404: The receiving end displays the instant message at the destination display location according to the time information.

In this step, when the time information is a specific time, the position is displayed for the purpose corresponding to the specific time, or

When the time information is a time interval, the position corresponding to any one of the time intervals is selected as the destination display position;

The instant message is displayed at the destination display location.

When the corresponding message display has been displayed in the destination display location, the instant message is displayed before or after the destination display location according to the indication flag or the agreement with the sender.

For the instant message that has been sent by the sender, this step needs to determine the corresponding instant message according to the actual sending time before determining the destination display location.
