Detailed Description
People often encounter situations where there are unread messages for multiple chat objects during the use of the chat tool. At this time, the user needs to find the chat objects and open the chat objects one by one to check the unread messages, so as to determine whether to reply the messages. In the process of searching the chat objects and opening the chat objects one by one to view unread messages, the user needs to continuously switch the chat interfaces and lists of the chat objects, the whole process is very complicated, and a large amount of time is wasted for the user. In view of the above problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for processing unread information in a chat tool.
Fig. 1 is a flow chart of a method for processing an object having unread information in a chat tool, according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1, a method for processing an object having unread information in a chat tool may include the following steps S102 to S106.
Step S102: and acquiring a starting instruction for processing the object with the unread information in the chat tool.
In this step, the chat tool may refer to various commonly used chat tools, or may be a chat tool developed by the user according to actual needs. The program for processing unread messages in a chat facility can be associated with the chat facility, thereby processing the unread messages in the associated chat facility. The program may be associated with the chat tool in various ways, for example, the program may be associated with the name of the chat tool, or may be associated with an installation program or an installation path of the chat tool. The program for processing the unread information in the chat tool can be operated in a mobile phone, a tablet computer and other devices.
Step S104: and searching for the object with the unread information mark and the unread information of the object in the chat tool.
In this step, an object generally refers to a chat object, i.e., a user of a chat instrument. Of course, the object may include a public number of interest or the like. Each object is provided with a marking bit of the unread message, and the object with the unread message can be distinguished from other objects through the marking bit. Moreover, each object has a unique identifier, and each object can be distinguished according to the unique identifier. Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an initial information state of an object in a chat tool according to another embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 2, an object containing unread information and other objects containing only read information are shown, for example, a "cistron" belongs to an object containing only read information, and other objects are objects containing unread information.
Step S106: and displaying at least one part of the objects and the corresponding unread information thereof on a first display interface. In this step, in order to make the user clearly see the objects and the corresponding unread information on the first display interface, the first display interface may generally display at most a first preset number of objects and the corresponding unread information. When the number of the objects found in step S104 is less than or equal to the first preset number, all the found objects and the unread information corresponding thereto may be displayed on the first display interface, and when the number of the objects found in step S104 is greater than the first preset number, the first display interface may only display the first preset number of objects and the unread information corresponding thereto, but need not display all the objects and the unread information corresponding thereto, that is, display at least a part of the objects and the unread information corresponding thereto on the first display interface. Specifically, each object and the unread information corresponding thereto may be respectively considered as a whole, for example, a card is produced, the upper end of the card displays the name of the object, and the unread information of the object is displayed below the name of the object. The cards are evenly distributed on the first display interface. The specific numerical value of the first preset number may be set according to actual needs, for example, the specific display effect of 4, 4 objects and their corresponding unread information may be as shown in fig. 3.
In the embodiment, a starting instruction for processing an object with unread information in a chat tool is obtained; searching an object with an unread information mark and unread information of the object in the chat tool; at least a part of the objects and the corresponding unread information are displayed on the first display interface, so that the users can more conveniently and quickly check the chat objects and the unread information corresponding to the chat objects, and the efficiency of processing the information of the objects by the users is improved. Generally, the found objects with unread information can be associated, so that the objects with unread information form an integral set, so as to manage the objects collectively.
In an embodiment of the present invention, after the step of searching for the object having the unread information tag and the unread information of the object in the chat tool, the method may further include:
acquiring the latest time of unread information in each object;
sequencing the objects according to the latest time of unread information in the objects;
the step of displaying at least a part of the objects and the corresponding unread information thereof on the first display interface may include:
and displaying at least one part of the objects and the corresponding unread information thereof on a first display interface according to the sequence of the arrangement of the objects.
In this embodiment, the more recent the unread information in an object, indicating that the later the unread information in this object, the object containing the unread information at the latest time may be arranged at the top. Of course, the object containing the unread information at the latest time may be arranged at the rearmost according to actual needs. The method comprises the steps of obtaining the latest time of unread information in each object, sequencing the objects according to the latest time of the unread information in each object, and displaying at least a part of the objects and the unread information corresponding to the objects on a first display interface according to the sequence of the arrangement of the objects, so that the objects and the unread information corresponding to the objects can be regularly presented to a user, the user can conveniently look up the unread information, the information looking up efficiency of the user is improved, and the use experience of the user is improved. Specifically, according to the sequence of the object arrangement, the display effect of displaying at least a part of the objects and the unread information corresponding to the objects on the first display interface may refer to fig. 3, where the sequence of the 4 objects shown in fig. 3 is consistent with the sequence in fig. 2, that is, the objects shown in fig. 3 are displayed according to the sequence of the arrangement sequence.
In an embodiment of the present invention, after the step of displaying at least a part of the objects and the corresponding unread information thereof on the first display interface, the method may further include:
acquiring sliding operation performed on a first display interface;
recognizing a sliding direction of the sliding operation;
if the sliding direction belongs to a first preset direction, updating the object displayed on the first display interface and the unread information corresponding to the object;
and if the sliding direction belongs to a second preset direction, determining an object corresponding to the sliding operation, and displaying the unread information of the determined object in a rolling manner along the sliding direction.
In this embodiment, the first preset direction may include a left direction and a right direction, and the second preset direction may include an upward direction and a downward direction, and of course, the first preset direction and the second preset direction may also include other directions. And updating the object displayed on the first display interface and the corresponding unread information thereof, namely replacing the object displayed on the first display interface and the corresponding unread information with the object not displayed on the first display interface and the corresponding unread information. Specifically, for example, the objects displayed on the first display interface and the unread information thereof may be moved out of the first display interface in the sliding direction, while some objects other than these objects may be moved into the first display interface in the sliding direction. The processing mode of the embodiment can enable the user to flexibly view the objects and the unread information thereof, and further improve the efficiency of the user in viewing the objects and the unread information thereof.
In a specific embodiment, under the condition that the objects are sorted according to the latest time of the unread information in the objects, and at least a part of the objects and the unread information corresponding to the objects are displayed on the first display interface according to the sequence of the arrangement of the objects, if the sliding direction belongs to the first preset direction, the objects and the unread information displayed on the first display interface can be updated according to the sequence of the arrangement of the objects. Specifically, for example, after the objects are arranged in the latest time sequence of the unread information, the objects are grouped, each group includes a first preset number of objects, and of course, the number of the objects in the last group may be smaller than the first preset number, and each group has a unique group number. If the sliding direction belongs to the first preset direction, in the process of moving out a group of objects and unread information thereof displayed in the first display interface, a group of objects and unread information thereof adjacent to the group of objects can be moved into the first display interface according to the group number. Specifically, for example, the group number of the four objects "fluidity maple", "amu", "right qi" and "ginger" in fig. 2 is defined as 1, the group number of the four objects "li bud", "little fly", "laowang" and "tauro" is defined as 2, and the group number 2 is moved into the first display interface while the group number 1 is moved out of the first display interface.
In an embodiment of the present invention, after the step of displaying at least a part of the objects and the corresponding unread information thereof on the first display interface, the method may further include:
acquiring a click operation performed on any object in a first display interface;
a dialog mode for the clicked object is initiated.
In this embodiment, after the dialog mode of the clicked object is started, the information input by the user through the dialog mode may be acquired, and the input information may be sent to the object. When the dialog mode of the clicked object is started, the dialog mode of the clicked object can be displayed on a new interface, such as a third display interface. The display effect of displaying the dialog mode on the third display interface may be as shown in fig. 4. And, a close button for closing the third display interface, such as an "X" button shown in the upper right corner of fig. 4, is also generated on the third display interface. The third display interface may be closed by acquiring a click operation on the close button. After the third display interface is closed, the first display interface may be displayed.
In one embodiment of the invention, an object state switching button is generated in the first display interface;
acquiring click operation performed on an object state switching button;
displaying at least a part of the objects on a second display interface;
acquiring click operation performed on any object on a second display interface;
and starting a dialog mode of the clicked object in the second display interface.
In this embodiment, the object state switching button may be located at any position of the first display interface, for example, the object state switching button generated in the first display interface may be referred to in fig. 3, and specifically, "iii" on the upper right side in fig. 3 is the object state switching button. The effect of displaying at least a part of the objects on the second display interface, and initiating the dialog mode for the clicked object in the second display interface is shown in fig. 5, and in fig. 5, the dialog mode for the clicked object "suanfeng" is initiated. The method and the device have the advantages that the clicking operation on any object on the second display interface is obtained, the clicked object conversation mode is started in the second display interface, so that a user can respectively have conversations with a plurality of objects in the same interface, the operation of switching pictures by the user is reduced, and the information processing efficiency of the user is improved. And an object state switching button is generated in the first display interface, and the object state switching button is clicked to enter the second display interface, so that the method is very simple. In addition, when at least a part of the objects is displayed on the second display interface, the dialog mode of the first-ranked object may be started by default.
In a specific embodiment, the clicking operation performed on the object state switching button is acquired under the condition that the objects are sorted according to the latest time of the unread information in the objects and at least a part of the objects and the unread information corresponding to the objects are displayed on the first display interface according to the sequence of the object arrangement, and at least a part of the objects in the objects can be displayed on the second display interface according to the sequence of the object arrangement. For example, the order of the objects such as "suanchuan maple", "amu", "right", "ginger" and "plum" shown in fig. 5 is the same as the order in fig. 2, that is, at least a part of the objects are displayed on the second display interface according to the sequence of the objects.
In a specific embodiment, after at least a part of the objects are displayed on the second display interface, the sliding operation performed on the second display interface is acquired, the sliding direction of the sliding operation is identified, and if the sliding direction belongs to a third preset direction, the objects displayed on the second display interface are updated. And after a dialog mode of the clicked object is started in the second display interface, acquiring the sliding operation performed on the second display interface, identifying the sliding direction of the sliding operation, updating the object displayed on the second display interface if the sliding direction belongs to a third preset direction, and scrolling and displaying the unread information in the dialog mode along the sliding direction if the sliding direction belongs to a fourth preset direction. The third predetermined direction may be the same as or different from the first predetermined direction in the above-mentioned embodiment. The fourth predetermined direction may be the same as or different from the second predetermined direction in the above-mentioned embodiment. The manner of updating the object displayed on the second display interface may refer to the foregoing embodiment, and is not described herein again.
In one embodiment of the invention, a bounded surface return button is generated on the second display interface;
acquiring a click operation performed on an interface return button;
and returning to the first display interface according to the clicking operation.
In this embodiment, the interface return button may be located at any position of the second display interface, for example, the interface return button may be located at six boxes in the upper right corner of fig. 5. The method and the device have the advantages that the click operation of the interface return button is obtained, the interface return button is returned to the first display interface according to the click operation, flexible switching among different interfaces is achieved, user operation is reduced, a user can process information of related objects more conveniently, and efficiency of processing the information of the related objects by the user is improved.
In an embodiment of the present invention, after the step of displaying at least a part of the objects and the corresponding unread information thereof on the first display interface, the method may further include:
acquiring an object with a changed position in a first display interface and an initial position of the object in the first display interface;
judging whether the final position of the object with the changed position is at least partially overlapped with the positions of other objects;
if yes, generating a public position area in the first display interface, recording an object with a changed position and an object which is at least partially overlapped with the object in the public position area to establish a conversation group, and returning the object with the changed position to the initial position of the object in the first display interface;
acquiring click operation carried out on a public position area as a building completion instruction of a conversation group;
starting a conversation mode of a conversation group and canceling a public position area;
acquiring input information input into a conversation group through a conversation mode;
and sending the input information to each object in the conversation group.
In this embodiment, the size of the at least partially overlapped position may be set according to actual needs. When the final position of the object with the changed position at least partially overlaps with the positions of other objects, a public position area is generated in the first display interface, the object with the changed position and the object with the at least partially overlapping position are recorded in the public position area to establish a conversation group, and the object with the changed position is returned to the initial position of the object in the first display interface.
In this embodiment, after the session group is established, the name of the session group may be defaulted to the temporary group. The location of each object in the first display interface may be represented by coordinates. The user may select an object in the first display interface by long-pressing the object. When a user selects and drags an object, the position of the object is changed, and when the user stops operating the object, namely when the user is separated from the object, the position of the object is the final position. The positions of the objects and the corresponding unread information in the first display interface can be respectively used as an integral position, and whether at least partial overlapping exists between the integral positions is further judged, namely when the first display interface displays the objects in a card form, whether at least partial overlapping exists between the positions of the cards can be judged.
In this embodiment, the position of the common location area in the first display interface may be selected according to actual needs, for example, the common location area may be located at a center position of the first display interface, and specifically, referring to fig. 6, a circular area shown in a middle position of fig. 6 is the common location area. And acquiring click operation performed on the public position area, and taking the click operation as an establishment completion instruction of the conversation group. After the session group is established, the session mode of the session group may be displayed in a new interface, for example, a fourth display interface, and the display effect of the session mode of the session group may be as shown in fig. 7. Referring to fig. 7, the name of the conversation group and the number of objects included, for example, the name of "temporary group", are displayed in the conversation mode of the conversation group, and the number of objects included is 3. And, a page minimizing button, such as an "X" button on the upper right side in fig. 7, is also generated in the fourth display interface. And acquiring click operation on the page minimization button, and minimizing the fourth display interface, wherein the conversation group still exists after the fourth display interface is minimized. The minimized fourth display interface can be located at a designated position above the first display interface, and the whole first display interface is not obstructed any more, so that the user can view the object in the first display interface. Specifically, the effect of the minimized fourth display interface is as shown in fig. 8, and the "temporary group (3)" at the upper right side in fig. 8 is the minimized fourth interface. And acquiring the click operation performed on the minimized fourth interface as an amplification instruction, and restarting the conversation mode of the conversation group, namely displaying the fourth display interface.
In an embodiment of the present invention, after generating a common location area in the first display interface, and recording an object with a changed location and an object with at least a partial overlap with the object in the common location area to establish a conversation group, and returning the object with the changed location to its initial location in the first display interface, the method may include:
acquiring an object which is not recorded in the public position area and has a changed position in the first display interface and an initial position of the object in the first display interface;
judging whether the final position of the object with the changed position which is not recorded in the public position area is at least partially overlapped with the public position area;
if yes, recording the object with the changed position which is not recorded in the public position area, and returning the object to the initial position in the first display interface.
In this embodiment, a condition that at least a part of the final position of the object with the changed position is overlapped with the public position area is used as a condition for establishing the session group for the object, and a user only needs to move the object for establishing the session group to the public position area in the process of establishing the session group, so that the user is prevented from dragging the object to find the position of the object which needs to establish the session group, and the process of establishing the session group is simpler and more convenient.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of searching for an object having an unread information token and unread information of the object in the chat tool may include:
and polling the object with the unread information mark and the unread information corresponding to the object in the chat tool according to a preset time interval.
In this step, in the process of viewing the object and the unread information thereof in the first display interface, the object not containing the unread information may still generate the unread information. Therefore, the objects with the unread information marks and the corresponding unread information in the chat tool are polled according to the preset time interval, and the objects with the unread information marks generated after the first display interface is generated can be prevented from being missed. When the objects marked with the unread information and the corresponding unread information in the chat tool are found according to the preset time interval, the latest time of the unread information in the objects can be obtained, and the objects are reordered according to the latest time of the unread information. After reordering, executing a step of displaying at least a part of the objects and the corresponding unread information thereof on the first display interface according to the sequence of the object arrangement, so that the sequence of the objects displayed in the first display interface is the same as the reordered sequence.
In addition, the size of the preset time interval may be proportional to the number of the objects in the first display interface, that is, the larger the number of the objects in the first display interface is, the longer the preset time interval is. Because the more the number of the objects in the first display interface is, the longer the time required for the user to look up the unread information is, in this case, if the preset time interval is too small, the objects in the first display interface may be frequently sorted, which may interfere with the process of the user to query the unread information, and also unnecessarily increase the load of the program operation.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of obtaining an initiating instruction for processing an object having unread information in a chat tool may include:
obtaining long-time pressing operation on any object with unread information marks in the chat tool;
and taking the long press operation as a starting instruction.
In the embodiment, when the user uses a common chat tool, the user often checks the relevant information of the chat object through a click operation. In order to avoid conflict with the conventional click operation for viewing the chat object information, the long press operation is adopted as the start instruction in the embodiment. Specifically, with continued reference to fig. 2, a long press operation received by any object other than the "cis" may be acquired as the start instruction.
In one embodiment of the invention, if the object in the first display interface generates new unread information, the reminding information is output.
In this embodiment, there are various ways of outputting the alert information, for example, the color of the object generating the new unread information may be changed and set to a specific color, or the object may be displayed in a blinking manner.
And after a closing instruction for processing the object with the unread information in the chat tool is acquired, closing the program for processing the object with the unread information in the chat tool, and then the conversation group disappears. Specifically, for example, the acquired sliding operation performed on the first display interface in the fifth preset direction may be used as the closing instruction. The fifth preset direction can be set according to actual needs, and the fifth preset direction is prevented from being identical to the first preset direction and the second preset direction.
Fig. 9 is a flowchart of a method for processing an object having unread information in a chat tool according to another embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 9, the method may include steps S902 to S930.
Step S902: and acquiring a long-time pressing operation on any object with the unread information mark in the chat tool, and taking the long-time pressing operation as a starting instruction for processing the object with the unread information in the chat tool.
Step S904: and polling the object with the unread information mark and the unread information corresponding to the object in the chat tool according to a preset time interval.
Step S906: and acquiring the latest time of the unread information in each object, and sequencing each object according to the latest time of the unread information in each object.
Step S908: and displaying at least one part of the objects and the corresponding unread information thereof on a first display interface according to the sequence of the arrangement of the objects.
Step S910: and acquiring the object with the changed position in the first display interface and the initial position of the object in the first display interface.
Step S912: and judging whether the final position of the object with the changed position at least partially overlaps with the positions of other objects.
If yes, go to step S914; if not, go to step S928.
Step S914: and generating a common position area in the first display interface, recording an object with a changed position and an object at least partially overlapped with the object in the common position area to establish a conversation group, and returning the object with the changed position to the initial position.
Step S916: and acquiring the object which is not recorded in the public position area and has the changed position in the first display interface and the initial position in the first display interface.
Step S918: it is determined whether there is at least partial overlap of the final position of the object whose position is not recorded in the common position area and the common position area.
If yes, go to step S920, otherwise go to step S930.
Step S920: and recording the object with the changed position which is not recorded in the public position area, and returning the object to the initial position in the first display interface.
Step S922: and acquiring click operation performed on the public position area as a building completion instruction of the conversation group.
Step S924: a conversation mode of the conversation group is initiated and the public location area is cancelled.
