It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the invention described herein are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

According to an aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, a message prompting method is provided, and optionally, as an optional implementation manner, the message prompting method may be applied to, but is not limited to, the environment shown in fig. 1.

Human-computer interaction between the user 102 and the user device 104 in fig. 1 is possible. The user equipment 104 comprises a memory 106 for storing interaction data and a processor 108 for processing the interaction data. User device 104 may interact with server 112 via network 110. The server 112 includes a database 114 for storing interaction data and a processing engine 116 for processing the interaction data. The server 112 may communicate with a plurality of user devices 118 using the network 110.

In this application, the client logged in by the first account may run on the user equipment 104, the client may display a multi-user session window, the user equipment 104 receives an information sending instruction, sends a first message to the multi-user session window, the first message is transmitted to the user equipment 118 through the server 112, the user equipment 118 is a device logged in by a plurality of other accounts, and the client runs on the user equipment 118. In the event that a second account of the plurality of accounts views the first message, target reminder information is displayed on the user device 104, reminding the second account that the first message has been viewed.

Optionally, the server 112 may be an independent physical server, may also be a server cluster or a distributed system formed by a plurality of physical servers, and may also be a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as a cloud service, a cloud database, cloud computing, a cloud function, cloud storage, a network service, cloud communication, a middleware service, a domain name service, a security service, a CDN, and a big data and artificial intelligence platform. The user devices 104 and 118 may be, but are not limited to, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a smart speaker, a smart watch, and the like. The user device 104 and the user device 118 and the server 112 may be connected directly or indirectly through wired or wireless communication, and the application is not limited thereto.

Optionally, as an optional implementation manner, as shown in fig. 2, the message prompting method includes:

s202, displaying a multi-user conversation window on a client logged in by a first account, wherein the first account is in instant communication with a plurality of accounts through the multi-user conversation window;

s204, under the condition that an information sending instruction is received, displaying a first message in a multi-user conversation window, wherein the first message carries a first prompt identifier, and the first prompt identifier is used for prompting a second account in a plurality of accounts to view the first message;

s206, under the condition that the first message is viewed by the second account, displaying target prompt information on the client, wherein the target prompt information is used for indicating that the first message is viewed by the second account.

The ait in the present application is the symbol "@", and a general usage method is ait + account name to remind the ait account to view a message.

The message prompting method can be applied to the field of instant messaging, but is not limited to the field of instant messaging. The client providing the instant messaging service is not limited in this application. The client can be a client dedicated to instant messaging or a client comprising instant messaging service. Different accounts log in the client on different terminals, and a plurality of accounts carry out instant messaging through the client.

In the instant messaging method and the instant messaging system, during the instant messaging process among a plurality of accounts, a client of each account can display a multi-person conversation window, and the multi-person conversation window is a window used for instant messaging among the accounts. For example, if three users each use a terminal to log in a client for instant messaging, the multi-person conversation window is a window used by the three users for instant messaging. One of the users sends a message in the multi-person conversation window, and the other two users can see the message.

In the application, the first account may display a multi-user session window at a client where the first account logs in. The user can send a first message to other accounts through the client logged in by the first account. And if the client logged in by the first account receives the information sending instruction, displaying a first message in a multi-user session window on the client logged in by the first account, and simultaneously sending the first message to the clients logged in by other accounts through the server. The client logged on by the other account will display a first message in the multi-person conversation window. The first message is lacked with a first prompt identifier, which may be an "aster" character, or other characters or other identifiers, for prompting a second account number of other account numbers to view the first message. If the other accounts view the first message on the clients logged in by the other accounts, target prompt information is displayed on the clients logged in by the first account to prompt which second accounts view the first message. In the process, accounts other than the second account among other accounts can also view the first message, but the client logged in by the first account does not make a prompt. Because the first account does not have any other account among the other accounts other than the second account.

By the method, after the first message is sent by the first account, which accounts in the second accounts view the first message and which second accounts do not view the first message can be checked, so that the effect of improving message prompting efficiency is achieved.

Optionally, the target prompt information may be displayed in a variety of ways in the present application.

For example, the target prompt information may be prompted directly in the above-described multi-person conversation window in which the first message is displayed. The target prompt message may be generated for each second account after the first message is viewed, and displayed. The displayed position may be displayed directly at the bottom of the multi-person conversation window. For example, as shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is an optional display interface of the client of the first account, in fig. 3, a multi-person conversation window 302 is displayed, and a target prompt message 304 may be displayed at the bottom of the multi-person conversation window 302.

Alternatively, the target reminder information may be displayed through a one-person conversation window of the second account with the first account after the second account views the first message. That is, when a first account sends a first message in a multi-person conversation window and prompts a plurality of second accounts to view, if one second account views the message, a target prompt message is displayed to the first account by using the single-person conversation window of the second account and the first account. As shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a display interface of an optional client of a first account, a single conversation window 402 of a second account and the first account for viewing a first message is displayed in fig. 4, and a target prompt message 404 is displayed in the single conversation window 402.

In the present application, when the target prompt information 404 is displayed using the single person conversation window 402, the single person conversation window 402 may be directly popped up to display the target prompt information 404, or when an instruction from the user is received, the single person conversation window 402 may be popped up to display the target prompt information 404, and when no instruction is received, the single person conversation window may include the target prompt information but may not temporarily display the single person conversation window. Whether a single person conversation window pops up immediately after the target prompt message is received is determined according to the setting of the user.

The above describes displaying the target prompt information using the multi-person conversation window or the single-person conversation window, and the present application also provides various ways of displaying the target prompt information.

Alternatively, the target prompt message may be top-displayed on the client. The top-up display may be a top-up display on a page of the client or a top-up display in a multi/single conversation window. The top display of the target reminder information may allow the target reminder information to be unobscured with the chat information.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a target prompt message displayed in a multi-person conversation window on a client. The target reminder information 504 is top-displayed in the multi-person conversation window 502 so that the display of chat information may not be obscured or affected. The target reminder information 504 may fade away after being displayed for a period of time. Or replaced by the next piece of target prompt information.

Optionally, the target prompt information may also be displayed in a floating window dedicated to displaying the target prompt information on the client. The floating window may be located outside or within the multi/single session window of the client. The target prompt information is displayed by using the floating window, so that the target prompt information is more striking, and the target prompt information is prevented from disappearing after being displayed.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a floating window 602 alone is used in FIG. 6 to display a plurality of target prompt messages 604.

Optionally, the target prompt information may also be displayed in the form of a target frame on the client. Each piece of target prompt information is positioned in a target frame, and the target prompt information is displayed in the multi-person conversation window/single-person conversation window on the client or outside the multi-person conversation window/single-person conversation window on the client. By the display method of the target frame, each piece of target prompt information can be distinguished, and confusion is avoided.

For example, as shown in fig. 7, fig. 7 shows target prompt messages 704 in a multi-person conversation window on a client in the form of target boxes 702, where each target box 702 displays one target prompt message 704.

Optionally, in the above example of displaying the target prompt information, the target prompt information is displayed in a text form, and the target prompt information in the present application may also be in other forms, for example, a shape or a combination of shapes, an image, an artistic word, and other prompt information. When the target prompt information is an image, the target prompt information may be an avatar identifier of the second account in which the first message is viewed.

In the above-mentioned various exemplary ways and scenarios for displaying the target prompt information, the target prompt information may be replaced by other forms of information to be displayed, and is not necessarily the target prompt information in the form of text.

The target prompt information in the text form and the target prompt information in other forms can be displayed. For example, after a second account views a first message, not only text-form target prompt information but also other forms of target prompt information are displayed on the client of the first account, such as displaying the head portrait identifier of the second account viewing the first message.

Optionally, when the target prompt information is displayed in the application, the target prompt information may be prompted in a voice manner, where the voice may be a prompt tone dedicated to prompting, or a voice prompt in a manner of reading the target prompt information aloud.

In the application, when the target prompt information is displayed, the target number can be displayed in a multi-person conversation window on the client. The target number may be the number of accounts in the second account that have viewed the first message and the number of accounts that have not viewed the first message. If a first operation performed on the target number by the user is received, a first page can be displayed, wherein the first page is displayed with details of which second accounts view the first message and which second accounts do not view the first message.

The first operation, the second operation, the trigger operation, and the target operation in the present application may be various operations performed on the client, for example, clicking, double-clicking, and long-pressing operations on a predetermined area or a button on the client, or a sliding operation on the client, and when sliding, the sliding may be a linear sliding, a curved sliding, or a sliding in a predetermined shape, or may be a shaking, moving, rotating operation on a terminal running the client, or the like.

For example, the target number may be located on an operable button that the user may click to view the first page. As shown in fig. 8, fig. 8 is a display diagram of an alternative first page, and in fig. 8, which second accounts view the first message and which second accounts do not view the first message are displayed.

Alternatively, the second account number, with or without viewing the first message, may be displayed separately or in different areas, or distinguished by different colors or logos.

In the application, the target operation executed on the target prompt information may also be received after the target prompt information is displayed, for example, the target operation is a long-press operation, and after the target prompt information is long-pressed, options that can generate various instructions may pop up. For example, as shown in fig. 9, after the target prompt message 902 is pressed for a long time, a plurality of buttons 904 are displayed, and the plurality of buttons 904 have different functions. For example, the first control instruction may be obtained by clicking one of the plurality of buttons 904, so as to stop displaying the target prompt information, and delete the target prompt information on the display interface. Alternatively, the first control instruction is obtained by clicking one of the buttons 904, so as to send a second message to the specific second account, where the second message includes a second prompt identifier, and the second prompt identifier may prompt the second account to view the second message. The content of the first message and the second message may be the same, only the first prompt identifier is different from the second day prompt identifier, or the content of the first message and the second message may be different. The purpose of this embodiment is that after the first message is sent and after the second client checks the first message, the first account may not obtain a desired response, and the first account may trigger the second control instruction by performing a target operation on the target prompt information, and send the prompt message to the second account corresponding to the target prompt information again, so as to prompt the second account to check the message or process the message or reply the message.

In this application, after the first account sends the first message and the second account checks the first message, the first account may further receive a reply message. The second account can reply to the first message after viewing the first message, the specific second account can perform triggering operation on a reply button, or perform long-time pressing operation on the first message, select a reply function from the popped function options, and input reply information, wherein the input reply information is to be used as a reply message to reply to the first account, and the client logged by the first account is used for displaying.

In the application, after the second account views the first message, the second account can also execute a second operation on the first message, so as to trigger the hiding instruction, and if the hiding instruction is triggered, even if the second account views the first message, the client of the first account does not display the target prompt message, but displays a third prompt message, wherein the third prompt message is used for prompting that the second account does not view the first message. Or the target prompt message and the third prompt message are not displayed. Of course, the second account may also choose to reply or ignore the first message, and if the second account ignores the first message, the second account may default to read the first message and display the target prompt message on the client of the first account.

In this application, the second account may further set the first message as an important message, set the first message to the top, or mark the first message, and the like.

In the application, the server can be used as a hub for information interaction among the clients. And the server receives the messages sent by the clients and sends the messages to other clients. Meanwhile, a corresponding relation table can be maintained in the client. In the case that one account sends a first message to another account, the corresponding relationship between the account and the IDs of the other accounts and the first message, and the target status of the first message may be stored to indicate whether the other accounts check the first message. And if the other account numbers check the first message, the target state in the corresponding relation table needs to be modified, and the target state is changed from unread to read. The server can also send the target state to the client side where the account is located, and the client side displays the read state.

The above message alert method is explained below with reference to a specific example. Taking a plurality of accounts for performing instant messaging through a multi-person conversation window as an example, a first account is one of the plurality of accounts, the first account can determine a second account (the second account can be multiple or one) from the plurality of accounts, and then the first account can send a first message, wherein the first message specifies each determined second account. The first message is displayed in the multi-person conversation window, each account in the multiple accounts can see the message in the multi-person conversation window on the respective client (of course, the first account can also be set, and only some people or only people with special interest can see the first message). The second account in the plurality of accounts can view the first message, and if the second account views the first message, the first account can display target prompt information on the client to prompt the second account to view the first message. The target prompt information corresponds to the second account, and one second account generates one piece of target prompt information after viewing the first message.

For example, 100 users can chat in a multi-user conversation group by using respective accounts. The first account has one or more other accounts and sends a message, after each account with the ait views the message, a piece of target prompt information can be displayed on a client of the first account, one account corresponds to one piece of target prompt information, and if all accounts with the ait view the message, the first account can be prompted that all accounts with the ait view the first message. If some of the people being etted have viewed the message, a number may be displayed in the vicinity of the message, one number representing the number of accounts of the people being etted that have read the message, or two numbers each representing the number of accounts of the people being etted that have read the message and the number of accounts of the people not having read the message. By clicking on the digit or digits, a first page may be displayed that specifically recites which of the accounts with the atty viewed the first message and which of the accounts with the atty did not view the first message. When target prompt information is displayed in the first account, the target prompt information can be displayed along with group chat or in a separate interface; it is also possible to place a top show, pop up a bubble show, show with a floating window on the user's current screen, etc. in the group message interface. Further, in addition to presenting targeted reminder information to the user, the reminder may be represented by a label, such as an icon. For example, the displayed target prompt message is the head portrait identification of the user.

The user may also operate on the information or icon for the specific person of the eit, for example, close the corresponding prompt after the person who knows the eit has read. If the user has read the person to whom the ait is obtained but the opposite party has not yet replied to the user's message, a shortcut button such as "resend" or the like may also be provided to resend the message for the ait-specific person.

When there is a message prompting the user (second account) to pay special attention (at the time of being paid to the atty), more operation option buttons such as "reply", "ignore", "display as unread", and the like may be provided around the bubble of the message. When the user selects "reply," the sender of the message may be automatically prompted or a private chat widget popped up with the sender. When the user selects "ignore," the message may appear to be in a "read" state. When the user selects "show as unread," the client of the first account will not prompt the target prompt message even if the second account reads the message. The second account may also mark the message as an important message, set the message on top, and so on.

The specific flow can be described with reference to fig. 10.

In the application, a connection needs to be established between the front-end client and the back-end server, and the front end includes a first account and a second account. When the application is started, S1002, the front end initiates a websocket link and the back end establishes a connection. And S1004, the back end returns a response message to establish connection. After the connection is established, when the first account sends the first message in the group, S1006 initiates a request to the backend, and sends the ID of the first account, the unique ID of the employee (second account), and the content of the first message to the backend. The back end will execute S1008 to generate a unique ID of a message, associate the message ID with the sender ID and the attested user ID, record whether the attested user currently reads the first message, and initialize the state to unread. S1010, if the group chat is opened by the Atty user (second account number) and the first message is checked, executing S1012, the front end sends a read request to the back end, the ID of the second user which is currently read and the ID of the first message are transmitted, S1014, the back end updates the state of the message by the user according to the user ID and the message ID, the message is updated from unread to read, after the update is successful, S1016, the ID of the read user, the message ID and the sender ID are pushed to the front end, the front end controls only the sender (first account number) to see the target prompt message according to the sender ID, S1018 clicks the target prompt message, the front end skips to position the first message according to the first message ID, S1020, after the user clicks the left digit of the first message, the front end and the back end initiate to acquire the read and unread user lists, S1022, after the back end returns the read and unread user lists, S1024, the front end displays the messages through GUI. The front end draws a message box and a list page of read and unread users by using html and css, adds a href hyperlink hash jump address in a target prompt message 'you @ three pages read', the hash value points to a first message box element ID, the first message box element ID can be positioned on the first message by using the principle of browser jump by clicking 'you @ three pages read', a small circle is arranged beside the first message, an onclik clicking event is added, and a js method can be triggered to pop up a box by clicking, wherein the read and unread user list of the message is arranged inside the box.

By the method, after the first message and the Atty second account are sent by the first account, which second accounts view the first message and which second accounts do not view the first message can be displayed, and message prompting efficiency is improved.

It should be noted that, for simplicity of description, the above-mentioned method embodiments are described as a series of acts or combination of acts, but those skilled in the art will recognize that the present invention is not limited by the order of acts, as some steps may occur in other orders or concurrently in accordance with the invention.
