Description

Session switching method and device

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of computer technologies, and in particular, to a session switching method and apparatus.

Background

With the development of science and technology, people communicate more and more, and besides daily telephone calls and short messages, the communication system also has various instant messaging tools. At present, both short messages and sessions in instant messaging tools are arranged in a list and according to the received time sequence. Generally, when the list of sessions is displayed on the terminal device, the sessions are arranged in time order from the top to the bottom of the terminal device. That is, the top session of the terminal device display interface is the newest, the second session in the sequence is the next newest, and so on. When the terminal device receives a new session, the received new session is inserted into the list and displayed as the first session at the top of the list, and the other sessions are moved down in sequence.

When the terminal device receives a plurality of sessions and is not reading, the unread sessions are marked so as to make the user know that the unread sessions exist in the session list. When the user clicks into an unread session, the tag for the session disappears, indicating that the session is in a read state. When the user wants to read other unread sessions, the user needs to quit from the current session, fall back to the interface of the session list, select other unread sessions from the session list, and click to enter the selected unread sessions. That is, when entering another unread session from the current session, the current session needs to be exited, returned to the session list, and then selected from the session list to enter the unread session. Thus, at least two operations are required each time to enter another unread session from the current session, which is cumbersome and time-consuming for the user. Especially, when there are many unread sessions in the session list, more operation steps are required and more time is spent to completely read all the unread sessions.

When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the invention, as detailed in the appended claims.

In order to solve the problems of complicated operation steps and long time consumption when switching from one session to an unread session, embodiments of the present application provide a session switching method and an apparatus, where the session switching method includes:

if the preset switching action occurs, selecting a target session from unread sessions to be read;

According to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, when the conversation is displayed, the user needs to switch from the currently displayed conversation to other unread conversations to be read, and switching is carried out through the preset switching action. And when the preset switching action is detected, selecting a target session from the unread sessions to be read, and switching from the currently displayed session to the target session. According to the technical scheme, the currently displayed conversation can be switched to the unread conversation only through one preset switching action, compared with the related art, the operation steps are simplified, and the time required by the operation process is saved.

First, a session handover method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below. The session switching method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to electronic equipment, and the electronic equipment is equipment capable of performing communication interaction, such as a mobile phone, a tablet, wearable equipment and the like. The operating system of the electronic device may be an android system, an IOS system, a BlackBerry OS system, a Windows Phone system, etc., and is not limited herein.

The session switching method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to instant messaging software such as WeChat, QQ, nailing, Skype, Line, Micang, Whatsapp and the like, and can also be applied to short message information aiming at electronic equipment. When the session switching method is applied to an instant messaging software, the session in the instant messaging software is switched. For example, when the session switching method is applied to wechat, the sessions in the session list are wechat sessions, and both the sessions performing switching are wechat sessions, that is, sessions for wechat are switched.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a session handover method according to an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 1, the session handover method provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps.

S101, when the unread session to be read exists in the session list and the session is displayed currently, whether a preset switching action occurs is monitored. If so, step S102 is performed.

The conversation list is a set in which a plurality of conversations are displayed in a list manner, and the conversation list comprises one or more conversations. Each conversation aims at one object, and the content included in each conversation is information interacted with the aimed object, wherein the interacted information comprises characters, voice, pictures, videos and the like.

Taking fig. 2 as an example, as shown in fig. 2, an interface diagram of the WeChat is shown in fig. 2, which is a session list shown in fig. 2, where the session list includes 5 sessions, and from top to bottom, an object targeted by a first session is a user A, that is, the first session includes information interacted with the user A. The second session is for user B, the third session is for subscription number messages, and the fourth session is for user C. The object targeted by the fifth session is a group a, which may include a plurality of users, and information interacted by the plurality of users in the group a all belong to the content included in the fifth session.

Each session may include one or more pieces of information or may be empty, i.e., does not include any information. When information is included in a session and the included information is read, the state of the session is a read state, and the session may be referred to as a read session. When there is unread information in a session, the state of the session is an unread state, and the session may be referred to as an unread session.

In an implementation manner of changing a session from an unread state to a read state, after entering a session in the unread state, information included in the session may be displayed, that is, a currently displayed interface is an interface of the session, for example, as shown in fig. 3. At this time, it can be considered that the unread information in the session has been read, and the state of the session is changed to the read state.

The manner of entering a session in an unread state may be to click the session from an interface of the session list and then enter the session, or to enter the session from another interface, which is not limited herein.

When information is newly received, the newly received information belongs to a session of an object, and if the state of the session of the object before the information is received is a read state, the state of the session is changed to an unread state after the information is received. If the state of the session before receiving the information is an unread state, the state of the session is kept unchanged.

For example, in the interaction process of the user a, a piece of information sent by the user a is received, and the information belongs to the session of the user a, i.e. the first session in fig. 2. If the first session is in a read state before the information is received, the state of the first session is changed to an unread state after the information is received.

For another example, user a is a user in group a, and after receiving the information of user a in group a, the information belongs to the session of group a, i.e. the last session in fig. 2. If the last session was in a read state before the information was received, the state of the last session is changed to an unread state after the information is received.

The unread sessions to be read are the unread sessions contained in the current session list. Taking fig. 2 as an example, if there are 2 unread sessions in the session list shown in fig. 2: and if the session of the user A and the session of the user B are the same, the unread session to be read comprises the session of the user A and the session of the user B. If there are 4 unread sessions in the session list shown in fig. 2: the session of the user a, the session of the user B, the session of the user C, and the session of the group a, and the unread session to be read at this time includes the session of the user a, the session of the user B, the session of the user C, and the session of the group a.

The currently displayed session may be any session, that is, the currently displayed session may be an unread session in a session list, that is, a click-to unread session is entered, so that the unread session is displayed, or a read session in a session list, that is, a click-to read session is entered, so that the read session is displayed, which is not limited herein.

When a session is displayed, the session is entered, and information included in the session is displayed, as shown in fig. 3, that is, the session of the user a is displayed, and the displayed content is the information included in the session of the user a.

When an incoming session does not contain information, i.e. the session is empty, the content of the session displayed after entering the session is empty. For example, as shown in fig. 4, if the content of the session of the user B is empty, the content of the session displayed after entering the session is empty.

When there is an unread session to be read in the session list and a session is currently displayed, the currently displayed interface is an interface of a session, for example, an interface of a session of the user a as shown in fig. 3. In this case, it is possible to monitor whether a preset switching action occurs.

The preset switching action can be set by a user. The preset switching action may be a simple gesture action or an action combining a gesture action and an object.

When the preset switching motion is a simple gesture motion, the gesture motion may be set by a user, for example, the gesture motion may be a leftward sliding motion, a rightward sliding motion, a sliding distance greater than a preset value, and the like. Of course, the preset switching motion is not limited to the three gesture motions illustrated above, and may also be other gesture motions, which is not limited herein.

When the preset switching action is an action combining a gesture action and an object, the object combined by the gesture action may be set by a user, for example, the object may be a button, a hover button, a dialog box, or the like. The gesture action and the action of the object combination can also be set by a user, for example, the preset switching action can be that the duration of pressing the button for a long time reaches a preset duration, the floating button slides left or right, and the dialog box slides left or right. Of course, the gesture and the object combined action are not limited to the above three actions, and may also include other actions, which are not limited herein.

And when the unread session to be read exists in the session list and the session is displayed currently, monitoring whether a preset switching action occurs or not. If not, the monitoring state is continuously maintained, and if the preset switching action is monitored to occur, the step S102 is executed.

S102, selecting a target conversation from the unread conversations to be read.

The number of the selected target sessions may be one or more. When the electronic device can simultaneously display a plurality of conversations, the same number of target conversations can be selected according to the number of conversations that the electronic device can simultaneously display.

For example, the electronic device may simultaneously display 3 sessions, and when the number of unread sessions included in the unread sessions to be read is greater than 3, may select 3 unread sessions from the unread sessions to be read as target sessions, and display the selected 3 target sessions.

The following description will take the example of selecting a target session.

If only one unread session is included in the unread sessions to be read, the unread session can be directly determined as the target session. If the unread sessions to be read include at least two unread sessions, one session can be selected from the unread sessions to be read as a target session according to a preset selection method.

The preset selection method can be set by self-definition. In one embodiment, a session occurring at the time closest to the current time is determined from the unread sessions to be read, and the determined session is taken as a target session.

It can be considered that the session occurring at the time closest to the current time is the latest session, i.e. the latest session is determined as the target session. Taking fig. 2 as an example, the unread sessions to be read include a session of a user a, a session of a user B, and a session of a group a, where a latest time of occurrence of the session of the user a is 13:00, a latest time of occurrence of the session of the user B is 12:20, a latest time of occurrence of the session of the group a is 11:00, and if a current time is 13:15 and a time closest to the current time in the three time points is 13:00, it may be determined that the session of the user a is the latest session, and then the session of the user a may be determined as the target session.

In an implementation manner, after determining the unread sessions to be read in the session list, the determined unread sessions to be read may be sorted according to a time sequence, which may be a sequence from near to far in time, or a sequence from far to near in time, which is not limited herein. The time according to the sorting is the latest occurrence time of each session, for example, the time of the session of the user a in fig. 2 is 13:00, which indicates that the time of the occurrence of the latest piece of information in the session of the user a is 13: 00.

After the unread sessions to be read are sequenced, and after a preset switching action is detected to occur, the first unread session to be read in the sequence can be determined as a target session. For example, the unread sessions to be read include a session of a user a, a session of a user B, and a session of a group a, where the latest time of occurrence of the session of the user B is 12:20, the latest time of occurrence of the session of the user C is 11:30, and the latest time of occurrence of the session of the group a is 11:00, and when the sessions are sorted in the order of time from near to far, the sequence is obtained: the session of the user B, the session of the user C, and the session of the group a may determine, after the preset switching action occurs, the first unread session to be read, that is, the session of the user B, as the target session.

In another embodiment, the occurrence time of the currently displayed session is determined, a session occurring at a time before and closest to the time is determined from the unread sessions to be read, and the determined session is taken as a target session.

And determining the time when the currently displayed session occurs, wherein the determined time when the currently displayed session occurs is the time when the latest piece of information in the session occurs. Taking fig. 3 as an example, if the currently displayed session shown in fig. 3 is the session of the user a, and the time of occurrence of the latest piece of information in the session of the user a is 13:00, it may be determined that the time of occurrence of the currently displayed session is 13: 00.

After determining the time when the currently displayed session occurs, the session occurring at the time before and closest to the time can be determined from the unread sessions to be read. Taking fig. 2 as an example, the currently displayed session is the session of the user a, the determined time of occurrence of the session of the user a is 13:00, the unread session to be read includes the session of the user B and the session of the user C, and then from the unread session to be read, the session occurring before 13:00 and at the closest time to 13:00 can be determined as the session of the user B, and then the session of the user B can be determined as the target session.

In one implementation, after determining the time when the currently displayed session occurs, the unread sessions to be read may be sorted in the order of time near and far, with the determined time as a starting point. And if the unread sessions to be read exist after the determined time, sorting the unread sessions to be read before the determined time by taking the determined time as a starting point and sequencing the unread sessions to be read after the determined time by taking the current time as the starting point and sequencing the unread sessions to be read after the determined time. In this way, the ordering of the unread sessions to be read can be obtained. When the occurrence of the preset switching action is detected, the first unread session to be read in the sequence of the unread sessions to be read can be determined as the target session.

Taking fig. 2 as an example, the currently displayed session is a session of a subscription number message, and the unread session to be read includes: if the time of the session of the subscription number message is 12:00, the read unread sessions are sorted according to the above manner, and the obtained sort is: a session of user C, a session of group a, a session of user B. When the preset switching action is detected to occur, the session of the user C can be determined as the target session.

The method for selecting the target session from the unread sessions to be read may be, in addition to the above two methods, selecting the target session in other manners, which is not limited herein.

And S103, switching from the currently displayed session to the target session, and displaying the target session.

And after the target session is determined, switching the currently displayed session to the target session and displaying the target session, wherein the determined target session is the next session to be displayed.

For example, the currently displayed session is the session of the user C, the to-be-read unread session includes the session of the user a and the session of the user B, and it is determined that the session of the user a is the target session, the session of the user C is switched to the session of the user a, and the session of the user a is displayed, and the displayed session of the user a is as shown in fig. 3.

In an embodiment, when a new session occurs, the new session may be added to the session list, and the new session and the unread session to be read before the new session occurs are determined as the new unread session to be read, that is, the new unread session to be read includes the new session and the unread session to be read before.

Selecting a target session from the unread sessions to be read (step S102), which may include the following steps:

and selecting a target session from the determined new unread sessions to be read. That is, when the target session is selected subsequently, the new session may become a candidate as one of the new unread sessions to be read.

For example, the unread session to be read includes a session of a user a and a session of a user B, and when a new session occurs as a session of a user C, the session of the user a, the session of the user B, and the session of the user C may be determined as a new unread session to be read. When the target session is selected, selecting the target session from new unread sessions to be read, namely selecting the target session from the session of the user A, the session of the user B and the session of the user C.

In an implementation manner, in the process of sending the preset switching action, if a new session occurs, the new session and the unread session to be read before the new session occurs may be determined as a new unread session to be read. In this way, when selecting a target session, a selection may be performed from the determined new unread sessions to be read, where the determined new unread sessions to be read includes: unread sessions to be read before the new session occurs and the new session.

In one embodiment, when a session is displayed, whether an unread session exists in a session list can be detected, and if the unread session exists, a prompt identifier can be displayed.

The displayed session may be an unread session displayed after entering an unread session in the session list, and after the unread session is displayed, the state of the unread session is changed to a read state. The displayed session may also be a read session that is displayed after the read session entered into the session list.

The prompt identifier is used for prompting that an unread session exists in the session list, namely when the prompt identifier is displayed, the unread session still exists in the current session list. And switching to the unread session through a preset switching action, and displaying the unread session.

The form of the prompt identifier may be customized, for example, the prompt identifier may be a hover button, banner, dot, etc. And is not limited herein.

On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, in an embodiment, the preset switching action may be an action combining a gesture action and a prompt identifier, for example, the preset switching action may be pressing the prompt identifier for a long time, pressing the prompt identifier to slide left or right, or continuously clicking the prompt identifier.

Taking fig. 3 as an example, the currently displayed session is the session of user a, and it is detected that there is an unread session in the session list: and displaying a floating button on the display screen of the session of the user B and the session of the user C, wherein the floating button represents that an unread session exists in the session list, and then pressing the floating button by the user and dragging the floating button to slide rightwards, so that the currently displayed session of the user A is switched to the session of the user B.

On the basis of the above embodiment, in an embodiment, the display prompt identifier is used to indicate that an unread session exists in the current session list, and when the prompt identifier is not displayed, it indicates that the unread session does not exist in the current session list, that is, the sessions in the session list are all in a read state. After the prompt identifier is displayed, whether an unread session exists in the session list is monitored, if the unread session exists, the display state of the prompt identifier is kept, and if the unread session does not exist, the prompt identifier is deleted, namely, the prompt identifier is not displayed.

By the implementation mode, the prompt mark is not displayed when the unread session does not exist in the session list, the state of the session in the session list can be prompted to a user, and the prompt mark is not displayed in the display picture when the prompt mark does not work, so that the display picture is simpler, and the user experience is improved.
