Fig. 1 shows a flow chart of a method of managing messaging in an application, wherein the method comprises steps S101, S102 and S103, according to an embodiment of the application. In step S101, the user equipment acquires a first message event of an application, where the application includes a plurality of notification markers, each notification marker is configured to display message notification information of a corresponding event type on an application icon of the application; in step S102, the user equipment determines a first event type corresponding to the first message event; in step S103, the user equipment updates and displays a first notification mark corresponding to the first event type on the application icon of the application. In some embodiments, the user device includes, but is not limited to, a computing device such as a cell phone, tablet, notebook, or the like. In some embodiments, the application may be any type of application installed on the user device (e.g., cell phone, PC side), such as a social type application, a shopping type application, a game type application, a video type application, a payment type application, and the like.

Specifically, in step S101, the user equipment acquires a first message event of an application, where the application includes a plurality of notification markers, each notification marker being configured to display message notification information of a corresponding event type on an application icon of the application. In some embodiments, one or more applications (e.g., social applications, game applications, etc.) are installed on the user device, and the applications include their corresponding application icons, e.g., as a launch interface for the application, which a user can launch a corresponding application program by clicking on. In some embodiments, the notification flag is used to prompt the user for new message notification information regarding a certain event type of the application. For example, one or more notification markers are displayed on the application icon (e.g., the application icon is a rectangle with corresponding notification markers displayed on one or more vertices of the rectangle). Wherein each notification mark is used for displaying message notification information of a corresponding event type, for example, a social application a is installed on the user equipment, and the social application a presents a rectangular application icon on an interface of the user equipment. The social application a includes two notification markers (e.g., notification marker a and notification marker B, which may each be presented in a circle on two opposite corners of the application icon), within which the event type corresponding to the notification marker may be displayed. For example, the event type corresponding to the notification mark a is the number of new chat messages currently received by the social application a; the event type corresponding to the notification mark B is the number of new social circle state information currently updated by the social application a. In some embodiments, the event types include, but are not limited to, message type information (e.g., chat messages, social circle status update messages, or red package receipt messages), and the message notification information includes, but is not limited to, quantity information of the corresponding event type, e.g., a notification mark is displayed on the application icon, through which the quantity information of the new chat message received by the application is displayed. In some embodiments, the first message event includes, but is not limited to, the user device receiving a message about an event type of the application, for example, a social application receiving new chat information, receiving a new red packet, or the social status sharing platform having a new status update, where "the new chat information, receiving a new red packet, or the social status sharing platform having a new status update" may be used as the first message event, further, the user device determines, based on the first message event, its corresponding first event type, thereby determining, based on the first event type, a corresponding first notification mark on the application icon, to update the first notification mark based on the first message event, so that the user can learn about the message notification information about the first message event (e.g., whether there is new chat information or new red packet information) through the first notification mark.

In step S102, the user equipment determines a first event type corresponding to the first message event. In some embodiments, the first message event includes, but is not limited to, message notification information (e.g., new chat information or new red packet information is received) acquired by the user equipment about the application, for example, when the social application a receives the new chat information, the user equipment regards the new chat information as the first message event, so that the notification mark a on an application icon corresponding to the social application a is updated based on the first message event, for example, the number displayed by the notification mark a before the user equipment acquires the first message event is "2", where "2" indicates that there are 2 pieces of new chat information currently, and when the first message event is received, the "2" is updated to "3". In some embodiments, when the user equipment receives the first message event, the user equipment determines a corresponding first event type based on the first message event, for example, one or more event types are preset in the user equipment, the user equipment queries the one or more event types for an event type (such as dialogue information) corresponding to the first message event according to message attribute information (such as chat content information) of the first message event, and determines that the event type is the first event type corresponding to the first message event. In some embodiments, the user device updates or displays the notification flag corresponding to the event type by querying the corresponding event type.

In step S103, the user equipment updates and displays a first notification mark corresponding to the first event type on the application icon of the application. In some embodiments, each event type has a notification flag that has a mapping relationship with it, and when there is a message about that event type, the user device updates the display of the corresponding notification flag to notify the user of the particular updated event type. In some embodiments, the application icon may have one or more notification marks thereon, and the user device determines a corresponding first notification mark according to the first event type, and updates and displays the first notification mark.

In some embodiments, the step S102 includes: and the user equipment performs matching query in a plurality of event types of the application according to the message attribute information corresponding to the first message event so as to obtain a first event type corresponding to the first message event, wherein the type description information of the first event type is matched with the message attribute information corresponding to the first message event. In some embodiments, a plurality of event types related to the application are preset in the user equipment, wherein each event type comprises corresponding type description information, and matching is performed based on the type description information. For example, the social application a includes three event types i, ii, and iii, which correspond to three types of descriptive information of "red pack", "dialog", "social circle status", respectively. And when the user equipment receives the first message event, carrying out query matching based on the message attribute information corresponding to the first message event and the three types of description information. For example, if the first message event is that a new red packet is received, and the message attribute information of the first message event is "red packet", the user equipment performs query matching in three types of description information including "red packet", "dialogue" and "social circle state", and queries the type description information about the red packet, determines the first event type of "i" corresponding to the first message event, and further updates or displays the first notification mark on the application icon based on the mapping relationship between the first event type and the first notification mark corresponding to the first event type.

In some embodiments, the message attribute information corresponding to the first message event includes at least one of:

(1) And the message content information corresponding to the first message event. In some embodiments, the user equipment determines a first event type corresponding to the first message event based on message content information about the first message event. For example, the user device may preset one or more types of description information (e.g., "patent," "finance," etc.), and when the application (e.g., social application) obtains (e.g., has a new article pushed or receives a new shared article through a conversation window) the first message event (e.g., has a "XXX patent knowledge sharing" article pushed to the application), determine that the message attribute corresponding to the first message event is "patent" based on the "patent" in the title information. Further, a first event type corresponding to the first message event may be determined to be "patent". And updating and displaying the first notification mark corresponding to the first event type.

(2) And message type information corresponding to the first message event. In some embodiments, the user equipment determines a first event type corresponding to the first message event based on message type information about the first message event. For example, the user device may preset one or more types of description information (e.g., a "red package," "social circle," etc.), and when the application (e.g., social application) obtains the first message event (e.g., receives a new red package or a new status update for the social circle), determine, based on the received new red package, that the message attribute corresponding to the first message event is "red package. Further, it may be determined that the first event type corresponding to the first message event is "red packet". And updating and displaying the first notification mark corresponding to the first event type.

(3) And information of a message sender corresponding to the first message event. In some embodiments, the user device determines a first event type corresponding to the first message event based on message sender information about the first message event. For example, the user device may preset type description information (e.g., "user a", "user b", etc.), and when the application (e.g., social application) obtains the first message event (e.g., receives a message sent by user a), determine, based on the received message sent by user a, that a message attribute corresponding to the first message event is "user a". Further, a first event type corresponding to the first message event may be determined. And updating and displaying the first notification mark corresponding to the first event type.

Of course, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the message attribute information described above is merely exemplary, and that other message attribute information that may be present in the present utility model or otherwise hereafter are included within the scope of the present utility model as applicable.

In some embodiments, the first message event comprises any one of:

(1) The application receives the new message. In some embodiments, the first message event is a new message received by the application, for example, an article message pushed or shared in the application, chat information received by a social application, a red packet message received by a social application, and the like. The user equipment determines message attribute information corresponding to the new message based on the new message received by the user equipment, for example, if the first message event is that the application receives a new red packet, the user equipment determines that the message attribute information corresponding to the first message event is "red packet" based on the new red packet; for another example, if the application receives a push article entitled "XX patent protection case analysis", the user equipment determines that the message attribute information corresponding to the first message event is "patent" based on the "patent" in the title.

(2) The unread messages in the application have been viewed. In some embodiments, the first message event includes that an unread message in the application has been viewed. For example, if 16 unread messages exist in a social application, and the user clicks to view one of the unread messages, the viewing operation is used as a first message event to update a first notification mark corresponding to a first event type corresponding to the first message event, for example, "16" displayed by the first notification mark is updated to be "15".

(3) The unread messages in the application have been deleted. In some embodiments, the first message event includes that an unread message in the application has been deleted. For example, if 16 unread messages exist in a social application, and one of the unread messages is deleted by a user, the deleting operation is used as a first message event to update a first notification mark corresponding to a first event type corresponding to the first message event, for example, the "16" displayed by the first notification mark is updated to be "15".

Of course, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above first message event is merely exemplary, and that other first message events that may occur in the present application or in the future are applicable to the present application, and are included in the scope of the present application and are incorporated herein by reference.

In some embodiments, the first message event includes the application receiving a new message; wherein, the step S103 includes: if the first notification mark corresponding to the first event type is displayed on the application icon of the application, increasing notification quantity information in the first notification mark; otherwise, the first notification mark is additionally displayed on the application icon of the application. In order to keep the application icon as concise as possible, although a plurality of notification markers are preset for each application in the user equipment, the plurality of notification markers are not necessarily displayed on the application icon at the same time. For example, a social circle of a social application receives a new status update message, further, the user equipment determines that a corresponding first event type is a social circle based on the new status update message, and based on a mapping relationship between the first event type and a first notification mark, the user equipment determines whether the first notification mark is already displayed on an application icon corresponding to the social application. For example, when the social circle of the social application has no unread social state information, a first notification mark corresponding to the first event type of the social circle is not displayed on the application icon, and when the social circle state is updated, the first notification mark is displayed on the application icon; for another example, when there are two unread pieces of social status information in the social circle of the social application currently, the notification quantity information currently displayed on the first notification mark corresponding to the first event type of the social circle is "2", and when a new social circle status update message is received, the notification quantity information of the first notification mark is +1 on the basis of the notification quantity information being "2", for example, the notification quantity information of the first notification mark is updated to be "3".

In some embodiments, the first message event includes that an unread message in the application has been viewed or that an unread message in the application has been deleted; wherein, the step S103 includes: reducing notification quantity information in a first notification mark corresponding to the first event type; and if the notification quantity information in the first notification mark is reduced to zero, canceling the display of the first notification mark on the application icon of the application. In order to keep the application icon as concise as possible, the operation of canceling the display of the notification mark on the application icon is performed based on the first message event. For example, the notification quantity information currently displayed by the first notification mark of the first event type related to the chat message on the application icon corresponding to the social application is "1", when the user clicks to view the chat message, the notification quantity information is correspondingly reduced to "0", and when the notification quantity information is "0", the display of the first notification mark on the application icon is canceled, so as to keep the brevity and clarity of the user interface as much as possible.

In some embodiments, the method further includes step S104 (not shown), and in step S104, the user equipment sets or updates the tag display parameter of at least one of the plurality of notification tags according to a user setting operation of the at least one notification tag. In order to improve the autonomy of the user, a system interface of the user device or an application interface of the application is provided with a setting window in which the user performs a setting operation with respect to the notification flag. In some embodiments, the indicia display parameter information includes, but is not limited to, display color, display shape, display location information, etc. regarding the notification indicia. For example, a user opens a setting window of a plurality of notification marks (e.g., notification mark for red package, notification mark for chat message) for a plurality of applications through a setting interface for the plurality of applications in the system, wherein the setting window includes mark display parameter information for a display color, a display shape, and a display position of each notification mark, and the user comes from a main autonomous setting operation by setting each mark display parameter information. For example, a notification mark on a red package is set to a red, rectangular red package shape, and displayed in the upper right corner of the corresponding application icon; the notification flag for the chat message is set to green, cloudy, and displayed in the lower right corner of the corresponding application icon.

Of course, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the above described arrangement is by way of example only, and that other arrangements that may be present or later found are suitable for use with the present application and are included within the scope of the present application and are incorporated herein by reference.

In some embodiments, the step S104 includes: and calling a message notification interface provided by an operating system of user equipment where the application is located according to the setting operation of a user on at least one notification mark in the plurality of notification marks in the interface of the application so as to set or update mark display parameters of the at least one notification mark. In some embodiments, the application includes a settings window through which a user performs a setting operation with respect to a plurality of notification tabs, and the user device that installs the application includes an operating system that provides a message notification interface, for example, by invoking the message notification interface to set or update tab display parameters with respect to the one or more notification tabs.

In some embodiments, the marker display parameters of the at least one notification marker include at least one of:

(1) At least one of a display color, a display shape, or a display content of the at least one notification mark. Each notification mark is more clearly distinguished by the display color, display shape, display content of the notification mark. For example, a notification mark for a red packet is a rectangular red packet shape of red, and a display content of "red" is displayed within the notification mark of the rectangular red packet shape. In some embodiments, the "red" display is also displayed alongside the corresponding notification quantity information, e.g., "red 1" indicates that there is currently a new red packet unprocessed.

(2) The at least one notification marker displays location information on an application icon of the application. The event types corresponding to each notification mark can be better distinguished through the display position of the notification mark in the application icon. For example, a notification mark setting for a red package is displayed in the upper right corner of the application icon; a notification flag setting for a new chat message is displayed in the lower right hand corner of the application icon.

(3) And event type information corresponding to the at least one notification mark. In some embodiments, event type information corresponding to each notification flag may also be set. For example, the display position of each notification mark is determined by the system, and the user can indirectly set the display position by setting the event type information corresponding to each notification mark. Or in some embodiments, the user equipment presets a plurality of notification marks and a plurality of event type information corresponding to each application, and the user can select an event type which is required by the user and is notified through the notification marks from the plurality of event type information, and bind the event type with the corresponding notification marks.

Of course, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the above-described marker display parameters are merely examples, and that other marker display parameters that may be present in the present application or in the future are intended to be within the scope of the present application and are incorporated herein by reference. For example, a flag display parameter related to one or more notification flags may be preset in the user device, and a default flag display parameter is provided for the user, so that the event type corresponding to each notification flag is clearly distinguished through the flag display parameter.

In some embodiments, the step S103 includes: and updating and displaying the first notification mark on the application icon of the application according to the mark display parameter of the first notification mark corresponding to the first event type. In some embodiments, the marker display parameters are generated based on a user's setup operations; in other embodiments, the indicia display parameter may also be user device or default to the application. For example, if the flag display parameter of the notification flag corresponding to the event type of the red packet is "red rectangle, which is displayed in the upper right corner of the application icon", when the notification flag is required to be displayed on the application icon (for example, when the notification quantity information corresponding to the notification flag changes from "0" to "1"), the notification flag of the red rectangle is displayed in the upper right corner of the application icon.

In some embodiments, the method further includes step S105 (not shown), and in step S105, the user equipment displays the target message event corresponding to the first notification flag according to the access operation of the user to the first notification flag. In some embodiments, more time is saved for the user in order to further enrich the functionality of the notification mark. And displaying a target message event corresponding to the first notification mark based on the access operation of the user to the first notification mark. In some embodiments, the target message event includes, but is not limited to, the first message event (e.g., a received new message) or does not include the first message event (e.g., the first message event is a view unread message). In some embodiments, the access operation includes, but is not limited to, a user clicking on the application icon or a user clicking on the first notification tab. For example, the target message event includes the first message event (e.g., a new message received), the user clicks on the first notification tab, and the user device pops up a corresponding pop-up window in which the new message is displayed; for another example, the target message event includes the first message event (e.g., the first message event is an unread message view), the user clicks on the first notification tab, and the user device pops up a corresponding pop-up window in which the unread message is displayed. The user may generally understand the target message event through the pop-up window, and if the target message event needs to be further processed (e.g., needs to know or reply to the target message event in detail), the corresponding tab page may be opened by clicking the pop-up window. In some embodiments, by clicking on the first notification tab, a tab page (e.g., a corresponding conversation window) corresponding to the target message event (e.g., a new message) is opened directly, through which the corresponding processing takes place.

In some embodiments, the application icon of the application displays the first notification mark and one or more second notification marks simultaneously; the method further includes step S106 (not shown), in step S106, the user device opens the application according to the user' S access operation to the application icon of the application, and presents a first tab page and one or more second tab pages in the interface of the application, where the first tab page corresponds to the first notification mark, and each second tab page corresponds to each second notification mark. In order to facilitate the user to perform the access operation, the user opens the interface of the application through the access operation of the application, and further, displays a tab page corresponding to each notification mark on the interface of the application. For example, the application icon may have one or more notification marks (e.g., notification mark i for a social circle update and notification mark ii for a new chat message) displayed thereon, and the user opens the corresponding application interface by clicking on the application icon, and presents a tab page corresponding to each notification mark in the interface of the application. For example, a social circle tab page corresponding to the notification mark i is displayed in the application interface, and a dialog tab page corresponding to the notification mark ii is displayed in the application interface.

In some embodiments, the presenting the first tab page and the one or more second tab pages in the interface of the application includes: and presenting the first tab page and one or more second tab pages in the interface of the application according to the priority order of the event type information corresponding to each tab page. In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the user to clearly view the tab page corresponding to each notification mark, the user device or the application presets a priority order of the event type information corresponding to each tab page, and displays the tab page corresponding to the notification mark in the application interface based on the priority order. For example, the event type information corresponding to the first tab page is "red packet information", the event type information corresponding to the second tab page is "chat information", where the priority of the first tab page is greater than that of the second tab page, and if the first notification mark and the second notification mark are updated, when the user clicks the application icon, the first tab page is preferentially displayed on the interface of the application. In some embodiments, one or more (e.g., two) tab pages may also be displayed on the interface of the application based on the priority order, for example, event type information corresponding to a first tab page is "red package information", event type information corresponding to a second tab page is "chat information", and event type corresponding to a third tab page (for distinguishing the plurality of second tab pages, a third tab page is used herein to describe) is "social circle status", where the priority of the first tab page is greater than the priority of the second tab page, the priority of the second tab page is greater than the third tab page, and if the first notification flag, the second notification flag, and the third notification flag are updated, the first tab page and the second tab page are preferentially displayed on the interface of the application when the user clicks the application icon.

Fig. 7 shows a block diagram of a device for managing messaging in an application, wherein the device comprises a one-to-one module, a two-to-one module, and a three-to-one module, according to another embodiment of the present application. The system comprises a one-to-one module, a one-to-one module and a one-to-one module, wherein the one-to-one module is used for acquiring a first message event of an application, and the application comprises a plurality of notification marks, and each notification mark is used for displaying message notification information of a corresponding event type on an application icon of the application; a second module, configured to determine a first event type corresponding to the first message event; and the three modules are used for updating and displaying the first notification mark corresponding to the first event type on the application icon of the application. In some embodiments, the user device includes, but is not limited to, a computing device such as a cell phone, tablet, notebook, or the like. In some embodiments, the application may be any type of application installed on the user device (e.g., cell phone, PC side), such as a social type application, a shopping type application, a game type application, a video type application, a payment type application, and the like.

Specifically, a module is configured to obtain a first message event of an application, where the application includes a plurality of notification markers, and each notification marker is configured to display message notification information corresponding to an event type on an application icon of the application. In some embodiments, one or more applications (e.g., social applications, game applications, etc.) are installed on the user device, and the applications include their corresponding application icons, e.g., as a launch interface for the application, which a user can launch a corresponding application program by clicking on. In some embodiments, the notification flag is used to prompt the user for new message notification information regarding a certain event type of the application. For example, one or more notification markers are displayed on the application icon (e.g., the application icon is a rectangle with corresponding notification markers displayed on one or more vertices of the rectangle). Wherein each notification mark is used for displaying message notification information of a corresponding event type, for example, a social application a is installed on the user equipment, and the social application a presents a rectangular application icon on an interface of the user equipment. The social application a includes two notification markers (e.g., notification marker a and notification marker B, which may each be presented in a circle on two opposite corners of the application icon), within which the event type corresponding to the notification marker may be displayed. For example, the event type corresponding to the notification mark a is the number of new chat messages currently received by the social application a; the event type corresponding to the notification mark B is the number of new social circle state information currently updated by the social application a. In some embodiments, the event types include, but are not limited to, message type information (e.g., chat messages, social circle status update messages, or red package receipt messages), and the message notification information includes, but is not limited to, quantity information of the corresponding event type, e.g., a notification mark is displayed on the application icon, through which the quantity information of the new chat message received by the application is displayed. In some embodiments, the first message event includes, but is not limited to, the user device receiving a message about an event type of the application, for example, a social application receiving new chat information, receiving a new red packet, or the social status sharing platform having a new status update, where "the new chat information, receiving a new red packet, or the social status sharing platform having a new status update" may be used as the first message event, further, the user device determines, based on the first message event, its corresponding first event type, thereby determining, based on the first event type, a corresponding first notification mark on the application icon, to update the first notification mark based on the first message event, so that the user can learn about the message notification information about the first message event (e.g., whether there is new chat information or new red packet information) through the first notification mark.

And the second module is used for determining a first event type corresponding to the first message event. In some embodiments, the first message event includes, but is not limited to, message notification information (e.g., new chat information or new red packet information is received) acquired by the user equipment about the application, for example, when the social application a receives the new chat information, the user equipment regards the new chat information as the first message event, so that the notification mark a on an application icon corresponding to the social application a is updated based on the first message event, for example, the number displayed by the notification mark a before the user equipment acquires the first message event is "2", where "2" indicates that there are 2 pieces of new chat information currently, and when the first message event is received, the "2" is updated to "3". In some embodiments, when the user equipment receives the first message event, the user equipment determines a corresponding first event type based on the first message event, for example, one or more event types are preset in the user equipment, the user equipment queries the one or more event types for an event type (such as dialogue information) corresponding to the first message event according to message attribute information (such as chat content information) of the first message event, and determines that the event type is the first event type corresponding to the first message event. In some embodiments, the user device updates or displays the notification flag corresponding to the event type by querying the corresponding event type.

And the three modules are used for updating and displaying the first notification mark corresponding to the first event type on the application icon of the application. In some embodiments, each event type has a notification flag that has a mapping relationship with it, and when there is a message about that event type, the user device updates the display of the corresponding notification flag to notify the user of the particular updated event type. In some embodiments, the application icon may have one or more notification marks thereon, and the user device determines a corresponding first notification mark according to the first event type, and updates and displays the first notification mark.

In some embodiments, the two modules are for: and matching and inquiring in a plurality of event types of the application according to the message attribute information corresponding to the first message event to obtain a first event type corresponding to the first message event, wherein the type description information of the first event type is matched with the message attribute information corresponding to the first message event. In some embodiments, a plurality of event types related to the application are preset in the user equipment, wherein each event type comprises corresponding type description information, and matching is performed based on the type description information. For example, the social application a includes three event types i, ii, and iii, which correspond to three types of descriptive information of "red pack", "dialog", "social circle status", respectively. And when the user equipment receives the first message event, carrying out query matching based on the message attribute information corresponding to the first message event and the three types of description information. For example, if the first message event is that a new red packet is received, and the message attribute information of the first message event is "red packet", the user equipment performs query matching in three types of description information including "red packet", "dialogue" and "social circle state", and queries the type description information about the red packet, determines the first event type of "i" corresponding to the first message event, and further updates or displays the first notification mark on the application icon based on the mapping relationship between the first event type and the first notification mark corresponding to the first event type.

In some embodiments, the first message event comprises any one of:

In some embodiments, the first message event includes the application receiving a new message; wherein, a three module is used for: if the first notification mark corresponding to the first event type is displayed on the application icon of the application, increasing notification quantity information in the first notification mark; otherwise, the first notification mark is additionally displayed on the application icon of the application. In order to keep the application icon as concise as possible, although a plurality of notification markers are preset for each application in the user equipment, the plurality of notification markers are not necessarily displayed on the application icon at the same time. For example, a social circle of a social application receives a new status update message, further, the user equipment determines that a corresponding first event type is a social circle based on the new status update message, and based on a mapping relationship between the first event type and a first notification mark, the user equipment determines whether the first notification mark is already displayed on an application icon corresponding to the social application. For example, when the social circle of the social application has no unread social state information, a first notification mark corresponding to the first event type of the social circle is not displayed on the application icon, and when the social circle state is updated, the first notification mark is displayed on the application icon; for another example, when there are two unread pieces of social status information in the social circle of the social application currently, the notification quantity information currently displayed on the first notification mark corresponding to the first event type of the social circle is "2", and when a new social circle status update message is received, the notification quantity information of the first notification mark is +1 on the basis of the notification quantity information being "2", for example, the notification quantity information of the first notification mark is updated to be "3".

In some embodiments, the first message event includes that an unread message in the application has been viewed or that an unread message in the application has been deleted; wherein, a three module is used for: reducing notification quantity information in a first notification mark corresponding to the first event type; and if the notification quantity information in the first notification mark is reduced to zero, canceling the display of the first notification mark on the application icon of the application. In order to keep the application icon as concise as possible, the operation of canceling the display of the notification mark on the application icon is performed based on the first message event. For example, the notification quantity information currently displayed by the first notification mark of the first event type related to the chat message on the application icon corresponding to the social application is "1", when the user clicks to view the chat message, the notification quantity information is correspondingly reduced to "0", and when the notification quantity information is "0", the display of the first notification mark on the application icon is canceled, so as to keep the brevity and clarity of the user interface as much as possible.

In some embodiments, the apparatus further includes a four module (not shown) for setting or updating the tag display parameter of at least one of the plurality of notification tags according to a user setting operation of the at least one notification tag. In order to improve the autonomy of the user, a system interface of the user device or an application interface of the application is provided with a setting window in which the user performs a setting operation with respect to the notification flag. In some embodiments, the indicia display parameter information includes, but is not limited to, display color, display shape, display location information, etc. regarding the notification indicia. For example, a user opens a setting window of a plurality of notification marks (e.g., notification mark for red package, notification mark for chat message) for a plurality of applications through a setting interface for the plurality of applications in the system, wherein the setting window includes mark display parameter information for a display color, a display shape, and a display position of each notification mark, and the user comes from a main autonomous setting operation by setting each mark display parameter information. For example, a notification mark on a red package is set to a red, rectangular red package shape, and displayed in the upper right corner of the corresponding application icon; the notification flag for the chat message is set to green, cloudy, and displayed in the lower right corner of the corresponding application icon.

In some embodiments, the one four modules are for: and calling a message notification interface provided by an operating system of user equipment where the application is located according to the setting operation of a user on at least one notification mark in the plurality of notification marks in the interface of the application so as to set or update mark display parameters of the at least one notification mark. In some embodiments, the application includes a settings window through which a user performs a setting operation with respect to a plurality of notification tabs, and the user device that installs the application includes an operating system that provides a message notification interface, for example, by invoking the message notification interface to set or update tab display parameters with respect to the one or more notification tabs.

In some embodiments, the one three modules are for: and updating and displaying the first notification mark on the application icon of the application according to the mark display parameter of the first notification mark corresponding to the first event type. In some embodiments, the marker display parameters are generated based on a user's setup operations; in other embodiments, the indicia display parameter may also be user device or default to the application. For example, if the flag display parameter of the notification flag corresponding to the event type of the red packet is "red rectangle, which is displayed in the upper right corner of the application icon", when the notification flag is required to be displayed on the application icon (for example, when the notification quantity information corresponding to the notification flag changes from "0" to "1"), the notification flag of the red rectangle is displayed in the upper right corner of the application icon.

In some embodiments, the apparatus further includes a five module (not shown) for displaying the target message event corresponding to the first notification flag according to the user's access operation to the first notification flag. In some embodiments, more time is saved for the user in order to further enrich the functionality of the notification mark. And displaying a target message event corresponding to the first notification mark based on the access operation of the user to the first notification mark. In some embodiments, the target message event includes, but is not limited to, the first message event (e.g., a received new message) or does not include the first message event (e.g., the first message event is a view unread message). In some embodiments, the access operation includes, but is not limited to, a user clicking on the application icon or a user clicking on the first notification tab. For example, the target message event includes the first message event (e.g., a new message received), the user clicks on the first notification tab, and the user device pops up a corresponding pop-up window in which the new message is displayed; for another example, the target message event includes the first message event (e.g., the first message event is an unread message view), the user clicks on the first notification tab, and the user device pops up a corresponding pop-up window in which the unread message is displayed. The user may generally understand the target message event through the pop-up window, and if the target message event needs to be further processed (e.g., needs to know or reply to the target message event in detail), the corresponding tab page may be opened by clicking the pop-up window. In some embodiments, by clicking on the first notification tab, a tab page (e.g., a corresponding conversation window) corresponding to the target message event (e.g., a new message) is opened directly, through which the corresponding processing takes place.

In some embodiments, the application icon of the application displays the first notification mark and one or more second notification marks simultaneously; the device further comprises a six-module (not shown), and the six-module is used for opening the application according to the access operation of the user to the application icon of the application, and presenting a first tab page and one or more second tab pages in the interface of the application, wherein the first tab page corresponds to the first notification mark, and each second tab page corresponds to each second notification mark. In order to facilitate the user to perform the access operation, the user opens the interface of the application through the access operation of the application, and further, displays a tab page corresponding to each notification mark on the interface of the application. For example, the application icon may have one or more notification marks (e.g., notification mark i for a social circle update and notification mark ii for a new chat message) displayed thereon, and the user opens the corresponding application interface by clicking on the application icon, and presents a tab page corresponding to each notification mark in the interface of the application. For example, a social circle tab page corresponding to the notification mark i is displayed in the application interface, and a dialog tab page corresponding to the notification mark ii is displayed in the application interface.
