Detailed Description

Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the exemplary embodiments can be embodied in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and thus a repetitive description thereof will be omitted.

The described features, structures, or characteristics of the disclosure may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a thorough understanding of embodiments of the present disclosure. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the aspects of the present disclosure may be practiced with one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, devices, steps, etc. In other instances, well-known methods, devices, implementations, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the disclosure.

The drawings are merely schematic illustrations of the present disclosure, in which like reference numerals denote like or similar parts, and thus a repetitive description thereof will be omitted. Some of the block diagrams shown in the figures do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically separate entities. These functional entities may be implemented in software or in at least one hardware module or integrated circuit or in different networks and/or processor devices and/or microcontroller devices.

The flow diagrams depicted in the figures are exemplary only, and not necessarily all of the elements or steps are included or performed in the order described. For example, some steps may be decomposed, and some steps may be combined or partially combined, so that the order of actual execution may be changed according to actual situations.

In the present specification, the terms "a," "an," "the," "said" and "at least one" are used to indicate the presence of at least one element/component/etc.; the terms "comprising," "including," and "having" are intended to be inclusive and mean that there may be additional elements/components/etc., in addition to the listed elements/components/etc.; the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc. are used merely as labels, and do not limit the number of their objects.

The following describes example embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 and 2 show one way of collapsing content in the related art. As shown in FIG. 1, taking XXX vermicelli group as an example, the XXX head portrait and some related content introducing the group owner XXX can be displayed on the page. When the content of the group owner XXX is too much, part of the content may be collapsed, for example, only "group owner XXX" is shown in fig. 1. Not disturbing … ", here" … "represents collapsed content. After that, corresponding to an "expand" button, when the group member wants to view more or complete content, it needs to click on the "expand" button in fig. 1, and then display the page as shown in fig. 2, that is, completely display all the introduction content "group owner XXX". Do not trust. And not data groups. We have this group chatted. The motor scooter for data searches for data groups. "

However, in the manner shown in fig. 1 and 2, only the existing information can be folded, i.e., the folding is a non-real-time message, which is not suitable for a real-time chat scenario.

Another folding method exists in the related art, for example, if identical messages appear continuously in a certain chat group for a certain period of time, such as a password packet, the identical messages can be folded, and only one message in the identical messages and the names of all message senders sending the identical messages are displayed.

However, the folding method mainly solves the problem that the repeated message interferes with the chat, and can only fold the same message in real time, but cannot achieve the purpose of highlighting a certain message.

In group chat, some information is time-efficient or needs to be noticed by the group members currently in AIO for a certain period of time.

For these situations, in the related art message display method, an information publisher (typically an administrator or a group owner) often does so by withdrawing the message of other people and forbidding for a period of time (such as vermicelli group); if there is frequent demand, such as hometown groups, a teacher builds 2 groups, one for publishing the job and forbidding others to speak, and one for chatting, in order to avoid that the published job is buried in other messages; or by group notification (a form of notification) to the owner.

For example, a group owner or administrator may send a group notification in the form of a group advertisement in order for members of the group within a chat group to focus on certain information. However, after the group notification is sent, the group member currently on the interface of the group AIO (All In One, interface for displaying chat information of All group members) can see the group notification, but the group member who subsequently enters the group AIO will see the group notification, that is, the group member who enters the AIO In the non-message age will also receive the group notification. That is, the group notification solves the problem that the purpose of notifying all the members of certain information of particular importance can be seen whenever a group member enters the group.

However, some information is time-efficient, and after a certain period of time, the notification is meaningless; and some information does not need to be paid attention by the whole person, and only people currently in the AIO need to pay attention. For both types of requirements, group notifications are not satisfied.

It follows from these above scenarios that the solutions in the related art are either complex in operation flow or cause interference to other group members.

Based on the related description of the message display method, the embodiment of the disclosure provides a message display method. The message display method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may be performed by any of the social clients mentioned above, or may be performed by a terminal device running the social client. For convenience of explanation, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described by taking a social client as an example to execute the message display method.

The social client refers to software for realizing information interaction between users through a network. The social client may include at least one of: instant messaging clients, information exchange clients, and the like. Instant messaging refers to a terminal service that allows two or more people to use a network to instantly transfer information such as text, files, voice, etc., and to communicate audio and video.

The social client may be running in any terminal device, where the terminal device may include, but is not limited to: smart phones, tablet computers, notebook computers, desktop computers, smart speakers, smart watches, wearable smart devices, car computers, and smart televisions.

As shown in fig. 3, the method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may include the following steps.

In step S310, a message collapse control of a target message is displayed in response to a trigger instruction of the target message in a session interface for the target session.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the target session may be established by a social client, which may specifically be any single chat session established by the social client, or any group session established by the social client, which is not limited. The single chat session is a session composed of two users, and the group session is a session composed of three or more users. In the following embodiments, users within it, whether it is a single chat session or a group session, are referred to as group members. In a specific implementation, the social client may detect whether a display triggering operation for a session interface of the target session exists, and if so, may display the session interface of the target session.

In particular implementations, various messages may be included in the target session, e.g., real-time session messages may be displayed in a session interface of the target session. The session message refers to a message sent by each group member in the target session through the session interface, and specifically may include at least one of the following: messages sent by host users in the target session, and messages sent by guest users. The host state user refers to a user/group member corresponding to a social account number logged in a social client, and the guest state user refers to a user/group member except the host state in a target session.

In an actual scenario, the messages in the target session may also include non-session messages. The non-session message refers to a message in the target session other than the session message, which may specifically include, but is not limited to: bulletin notification messages, system hint messages, and the like. The advertisement notification message refers to a message, such as a group advertisement message or a group notification message, published in the target session by a user in the target session through an advertisement function provided by the social client. The system prompt message is a message pushed by the server detecting the change of the target session existence information. For example, when there is a new user (new group member) joining the target session such that user information (group member information) of the new user is newly added in the target session, the server pushes prompt information about the new user joining the target session. For another example, when there is a user (such as user a) exiting the target session, so that the user information of the user a is reduced in the target session, the server pushes prompt information about the user a exiting the target session. For another example, when the session name (such as a group name) of the existence target session is modified, prompt information pushed by the server about the modification of the session name, and the like.

It should be understood that each of the messages may be pushed to the social client by the server in real time, that is, the messages may be updated in real time. Each message in the target session has a message sending time, which is the system time when the social client sends the message to the server and the server receives the message sent by the social client. In general, messages in a target session may be arranged in order of message sending time from early to late.

In the disclosed embodiments, the target message may be a session message that is time-efficient in the target session or that needs to be noticed by the group members currently within the target session for a particular period of time.

For example, if the target session is a fan group of XXX with a large number of group members (which may be determined according to the specific situation), the target message may be a session message corresponding to a countdown aggregation activity sent by a group owner or an administrator in the target session, that is, a session message that needs to be clicked by some group members in the fan group in a limited time.

For another example, if the target session is a game group with a large number of group members, and the session messages of the current chat are too many or the group members are playing a certain game, the target message may be a session message or a published game rule sent by a group owner or administrator in the target session that needs a certain temporary chat focused by all the group members currently in the game group.

For another example, if the target session is a school group, the group members of the school group include lessons teachers in a class and parents of students in the class, and in order that the session messages for each lesson teacher to issue jobs or send notifications in the target session every day are not covered by the chat messages of parents, each lesson teacher may issue jobs or send notifications in the target session every day as the target message.

For another example, if the target session is an office group, the office group includes employees and leaders of a certain department of a certain company, and session messages such as conferences and activity registration notifications issued in the target session can be regarded as the target message in order that session messages such as conferences and activity registration notifications issued in the target session are not covered by chat messages of the employees.

It will be appreciated that the foregoing is merely illustrative of some application scenarios for target sessions and target messages, and that the present disclosure is not limited to such application scenarios.

In an exemplary embodiment, the method may further include: obtaining the number of objects existing in the target session at the current time; if the number of the objects is larger than an object threshold, determining that a target object exists in the target session at the current time and is an object with management authority in the target session, wherein the target object is an object triggering the triggering instruction in the target session; and if the number of the objects is smaller than or equal to the object threshold, determining that the target object is the object existing in the target session at the current time.

Specifically, the current time may be the time of determining which message in the target session is the target message, or may be the message sending time of the target message. Here, taking the current time as an example of the time of determining which message in the target session is the target message, the number of all group members (objects, i.e., users in the target session) that are present in the target session at this time is determined as the above-described number of objects.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the number of the objects existing in the target session at the current time can be determined according to the current time, and which group members in the target session have the authority to initiate message folding, namely the group members can be used as the target objects herein, namely the adjustment of which right members are granted to have the authority to initiate message folding can be performed according to the number of the objects in the target session.

For example, assuming that the object threshold is 20 people, in a target session (which may be referred to as a crowd, but the crowd is relatively speaking, and is not limited to the example herein, and may be determined according to the actual scenario), objects in the target session that have management rights, such as group owners and administrators, may be set as target objects that collapse at least part of the messages after the message sending time of a certain target message and within the following target collapse period, including messages that have been sent and that have not yet been sent; in a target session of less than or equal to 20 crowd members, it may be set that all group members in the target session may be the target object in the current time, i.e., all group members may initiate message collapse.

It should be noted that, determining which group members in the target session can be used as the target object for initiating message collapse is not limited to the above example.

For example, it may be set that only the group owner and the administrator having the management authority in all the target sessions can be the target objects that initiate message collapse, regardless of the number of objects. For another example, the method can also be set as a target session below 10 crowd members, and all the crowd members in the target session can be used as target objects to initiate message folding; in the target session above 200 crowd members, only the crowd master in the target session can be used as a target object for initiating message folding. For another example, if different member classes are set for the group members in the target session, for example, a member class may be calculated for each group member according to the authority of each group member, the activity level of the message published in the target session (calculated by integrating the number of times of sending the message, the online time, etc.), etc., where the member class may be updated in real time according to the activity level of the message published by the group member, for example, a certain group member is LV 45 (member class is 45), another group member is LV 25, and another group member is LV 100, a group member whose member class exceeds a certain set class threshold (for example, 100) may be referred to as a group member with an ultra-high class, and a group member with an ultra-high class in the target session may be set as a target object. As another example, who may be the target object may also be adjusted in conjunction with the number of objects and the membership grade in the target session, which is not limited by the present disclosure.

For example, as shown in fig. 4, the target session "XXX fan group" is assumed to be a large group including 1511 crowd members, and a target object having an initiating message folding function therein is set as a group owner or manager. When the target object A sends a message, the target object identification and the corresponding message thereof are displayed in the session interface, wherein the target object identification can comprise the target object name "A" and the head portrait (A head portrait) in the figure 4, for example.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the target object having the function of initiating message folding may be the object that sends the target message, or may not be the object that sends the target message. For example, in a home school group, some parents are members of a home committee and participate in some conferences of a school, and then the parents of the home committee send a notification in the conference to the home school group, and a group owner or a manager of the home school group, as a target object, can select a message corresponding to the notification as the target message in order to highlight the notification sent by the parents.

Referring to FIG. 4, assuming target object A (assuming a group owner or administrator) as the master user in target session "XXX fan group", pressing long (other operations may also be performed, such as double-click or single-click, hover, etc.) the message "super fan group" it sends is still worse than 7 people successfully clustered, participates quickly-! To make a list for XXX assistance-! 32 people are clustered in progress to be clustered, and the social client responds to the triggering instruction of the target object for the message to determine the message as a target message.

With continued reference to fig. 4, after the message sending time of the target message, there are also "all forget double" and "good" session messages sent by the group member b and the group member c in the target session, and object identifiers of the group member b and the group member c are correspondingly displayed, for example, the object name "b" and its head portrait (b head portrait), "c" and its head portrait (c head portrait) in fig. 4.

The target object names and object names in embodiments of the present disclosure may include, but are not limited to: network nicknames (a name used by a user in a social network), session names (a remark name used by a user in a target session), and so forth.

Referring to fig. 4, an input box may also be displayed on the session interface of the target session for the target object to continue to input and send new messages through the input box.

It should be noted that, the content of the message in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to include text, and may further include at least one of the following: text (e.g., chinese characters), symbols (e.g., space, comma, etc.), expressions, pictures, audio, video, etc.

For example, after the target object a presses long (not limited to such an operation, but may be any other specified operation) the target message in fig. 4, a user interface as shown in fig. 5 is displayed, and at least one selectable option is displayed on the target message, where the at least one selectable option includes a message collapse control (corresponding to the "collapsed message" option in fig. 5).

With continued reference to fig. 5, the at least one selectable option may further include, but is not limited to, a replication control, a forwarding control, a reply control, a multiple selection control, and the like, if the target object clicks the replication control, the target message may be replicated, if the target object clicks the forwarding control, the target message may be forwarded to other sessions, if the target object clicks the reply control, the target message may be replied in the target session, if the target object clicks the multiple selection control, the target object may select at least one message from the messages sent in the target session to perform subsequent operations, such as merging forwarding, and the like.

Referring to fig. 5 again, in addition to the above selectable options, the user may click on a triangle control at the back to display more selectable options, which may be set according to a specific application scenario, which is not limited in this disclosure.

In step S320, a target collapse duration of the target message is determined in response to an operation instruction of the message collapse control for the target message.

For example, assuming that the target object clicks the message collapse control corresponding to the "collapse message" in fig. 5, the social client responds to the selection instruction (included in the above operation instruction) of the message collapse control for the target message, and displays the duration of the collapse to be selected as shown in fig. 6.

As described in fig. 6, it is assumed that the time period for folding to be selected may include:

5 minutes, namely if the folding duration to be selected is selected, folding the message 5 minutes after the message sending time of the target message, and automatically unfolding the folded message after 5 minutes countdown;

15 minutes, namely if the folding duration to be selected is selected, folding the message 15 minutes after the message sending time of the target message, and automatically unfolding the folded message after 15 minutes countdown;

after the whole member refers to, i.e. if the to-be-selected folding duration is selected, the message is folded without specific duration, and the folded message is automatically unfolded only after the target message is referred to by all group members in the target session at the current time.

Referring to fig. 6, a prompt message "please select the time length to be folded after folding all messages after the message" may also be displayed to inform the target object, and when the message selects a certain folding time length to be selected below, all messages sent after the message sending time of the target message and within the folding time length to be selected may be folded.

With continued reference to FIG. 6, a cancel control may also be displayed that the target object may click on to retract to the user interface as shown in FIG. 4 or as shown in FIG. 5.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the above-mentioned time periods for folding to be selected with a determined time point, which are similar to 5 minutes and 15 minutes, are referred to as a first folding time period, and the time periods for folding to be selected without a determined time point, which are similar to "after full-person review", are referred to as a second folding time period.

It will be appreciated that the first fold time period is not limited to the 5 minutes and 15 minutes exemplified above, and may include only 5 minutes or 15 minutes, for example, and may be set to other time periods such as 10 minutes, 20 minutes, etc.

It should be noted that, how to determine the target folding duration of the target message is not limited to the manner illustrated in fig. 5 and 6.

In some embodiments, the above-described candidate collapse duration and message collapse control may be displayed in the same session interface. For example, after the target object presses the target message for a long time, a message folding control as shown in fig. 5 is displayed, and when the target object places a cursor on the message folding control (by moving the cursor or changing the touch position), the standby folding duration can be displayed in a floating manner on the user interface shown in fig. 5 without jumping to the user interface shown in fig. 6.

In other embodiments, the above-mentioned time length to be selected may not be displayed, for example, after the target object triggers the message folding control shown in fig. 5, a folding time length input control (for example, an input box for inputting the target folding time length) may be displayed, and the target object may input any time length that the target object wants to set in the folding time length input control as the target folding time length, for example, 3 minutes, 1 hour, 1 week, and so on. The folding duration input control and the message folding control can be displayed on the same session interface or different user interfaces.

In still other embodiments, any combination of the above may be made. For example, on the basis of the user interface shown in fig. 6, a folding time length input control can be additionally displayed, and when the target object finds that the to-be-selected folding time length provided by the system does not accord with the target folding time length which is desired to be set, the target object can directly input the target folding time length which is desired to be set through the folding time length input control, so that more options are provided for the target object; when the target folding duration which is required to be set is just in the folding duration to be selected, the target object can be directly selected from the target folding durations, so that the operation of the target object is simplified.

In other embodiments, only the first folding duration or the second folding duration may be displayed. There are various ways of determining whether the target message has been consulted by all group members in the target session at the current time, which is not limited by the present disclosure. For example, each group member in the target session at the current time may be allowed to reply "already consulted" in the target session, and it may be known through statistics whether the target message has already been consulted by the whole member. For another example, a reviewed control may be added to the target message, and a group member clicking on the reviewed control represents that the target message has been reviewed. For another example, it may be detected whether a group member has referred to a target message by determining whether the group member has opened a session interface for the target session on its social client after the message sending time of the target message.

For example, assuming that the target object selects "5 minutes" in fig. 6, the social client determines that the target collapse time length of the target message is "5 minutes" in response to the selected instruction for the selected collapse time length "5 minutes". In the embodiment of the disclosure, in AIO, a group member (for example, a group owner or an administrator here) determines a message as a target message by long pressing a certain message, then, after clicking a message folding control of "message folding", selects the time length of the target message to be folded as a target folding time length, and then, all messages below the target message are folded as folded messages.

In the above-mentioned determination process of the target folding duration, the countdown is started by taking a certain message as the target message as the current time, but the disclosure is not limited thereto, and for example, the countdown may also be started by taking the message sending time of the target message as the current time, for example, all messages sent within 5 minutes after the message sending time of the target message are folded, so that the messages within the specific time can be collected conveniently and rapidly. The application scenario may include, for example, taking a message for inviting a group member to register a certain activity in a target session as a target message, and after the target message is sent out, replying the target message within 5 minutes on the group member registration, where the registration interaction message sent by the group member replying the target message may be folded to be used as a folded message, and by looking at the folded message, it may be fast known which group member registration is successful.

In step S330, the collapsed message is replaced with the collapsed prompt message for display after the target message within the target collapse period.

Wherein the collapsed message is a message whose message sending time is received after the target message and within the target collapse duration.

It should be noted that, if the target folding duration is determined as the second folding duration without the determined time point, for example, "after the whole person refers to" as described above, the target folding duration is an indefinite duration from the current time to the time when it is detected that all group members existing in the target session at the current time have referred to the target message.

In an exemplary embodiment, the method may further include: determining the number of objects existing in the target session within the target collapse time period; if the number of the objects is greater than a set threshold, determining the member level of the objects existing in the target session within the target folding duration; and determining the message sent by the object with the member class lower than the class threshold value in the target folding duration as the folded message.

In the above examples of fig. 4, 5 and 6, all messages received after the message transmission time of the target message and within the target collapse period (including the messages transmitted by the target object and the messages transmitted by the other objects except the target object) are taken as examples of the collapsed messages, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, it may be configured to fold only a part of the messages sent by the group members as folded messages.

For example, if the number of objects present in the target session is greater than a set threshold (assuming 1000 persons) within the target collapse period, it may be further determined that the member class of the objects present in the target session is within the target collapse period, and it may be set to collapse only the message sent by the group member whose member class is LV 90 (class threshold) or less in the target session (assuming that the highest member class is LV 100, but the disclosure is not limited thereto). Therefore, the information sent by the head important active group member in the target session can be displayed after the target information, and a richer and various information display mode is provided.

It should be noted that, how to determine the membership grade of each object in the target session is not limited to the above-described exemplary manner. For example, a target object in a target session is determined to have the highest member rank, and then the member ranks of the target object may be determined according to the affinity relationship between each other object in the target session and the target object, wherein the higher the affinity relationship with the target object, the higher the member ranks of the objects. For example, the affinity between an object and the target object may be determined according to the relationship between the object and the target object in real life, for example, in a family group, the membership grade of a class master teacher is highest, the affinity between other class teachers and class master teachers is highest, thus determining that the membership grade of other class teachers in the family group is relatively higher, and secondly, the membership grade of parents of a family delegate in the family group is lower than that of a class master teacher and class teacher, but the membership grade of parents of a family delegate is higher than that of parents of a non-family delegate, and so on.

In an exemplary embodiment, the method may further include: determining an object type of an object existing in the target session within the target collapse time period; and determining a message sent by the object with the object type being the target object type in the target folding time length as the folded message.

For example, the object types of the group members in the target session may be divided into a normal member having no management authority and a group owner and an administrator having management authority, and when the object type of the group member is the target object type, for example, the normal member, only the message sent by the normal member after the target message and within the target collapse period is used as the collapsed message, that is, the message sent by the group owner and the administrator after the target message and within the target collapse period is not collapsed, so that all the important messages sent by the group owner and the administrator can be shown.

For another example, if the target session is a family group, the object types of the group members in the target session may be classified into a teacher, a student and a parent, and when the object types of the group members are the target object types such as the student and the parent, only the messages sent by the student and the parent after the target message and within the target folding time period are used as the folded messages, that is, the messages sent by the teacher after the target message and within the target folding time period are not folded, so that the messages such as homework and notification issued by all the teacher can not be folded, and all the messages can be displayed.

In an exemplary embodiment, the method may further include: responding to a selection instruction of a message folding control for the target message, and displaying a message type to be selected of the target message; determining a target folding message type of the target message in response to a selection instruction aiming at the type of the folding message to be selected; and taking the message with the message sending time after the target message and within the target folding duration and the message matched with the type of the target folding message as the folded message.

For example, assuming that the preset type of the message to be folded may include a picture, a text, a file, a voice, an expression, a video, a red packet, an identical message, etc., the target object may select one or some types of the message to be folded as the type of the message to be folded. For example, assuming that in a target session (large group) in which some group members are high in number, when some group members normally discuss a topic, another group member is sending an expression packet or a picture bucket, and at this time, the target object may select an expression or a picture message as a target folding message type, all expression or picture messages sent after the target message and within the target folding time period may be folded as folded messages, so that the group members in question can normally discuss the topic without being disturbed.

For another example, when people in the target session are collectively sending red packets in the past year and the past festival, the red packets can be selected as the type of the target folding message, and all the red packet messages sent in the target folding time after the target message can be folded, so that all the group members can quickly rob all the red packets without finding the red packets in a large number of messages.

For another example, when a group member in a target session replies with a "received" message after a notification is issued, the notification can be used as a target message, and the type of the target folding message is set to be the same message, so that all the "received" messages sent in the target folding time after the target message can be folded, and thus, the group members can quickly check which group members reply the message, and other people chat is not affected.

As another example, the target collapsed message type may also be determined as a message having an association with the target message. The message associated with the target message may be, for example, a related message replied by a group member in the target session for the target message, or a message with a higher similarity with the target message. For example, in a family school group, a teacher issues a message for registering a community, the message of registering a community is determined as a target message, a target folding time of the target message is determined according to a registration expiration time, parents in the family school group reply messages like "XX child registers the community", "YY child registers the community", and the like in the target folding time, and the messages like "XX child registers the community", "YY child registers the community", and the like replied in the target folding time can be folded as folded messages. As another example, in a group of peers, a peer sends a "wish little tadpole peer happy with the day-! "message, other classmates follow" message "happy! Happy birthday, and blessing the tadpole younger and younger-! "," tadpole birthday happy and down-! "etc., the first sent" wish little tadpole student happy! "as a target message, a message including keywords such as" happy birthday "," happy birthday "or a picture, expression, etc., transmitted within a target collapse period, as having an association with the target message, is collapsed as a collapsed message. By the method, the screen-brushing chat message sent in the target folding time can be folded, and the problem that display resources are occupied and other messages are interfered by group members to view due to screen brushing is avoided.

It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, the target object in the target session that initiates the message folding function is taken as an example and illustrated, but the disclosure is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, a system, such as a social client, may automatically determine which message in the target session is the target message, and the system may automatically set the target folding duration.

For example, in the above example, the system may automatically detect messages in a target session received in real time, determine whether there are certain keywords therein (such as "sign-up", "connect", "notify", etc. (which may be set according to a specific application scenario), and once these keywords are detected, determine the message including these keywords as a target message, or pop up a prompt box to ask the target object whether to determine it as a target message, and when the target object is confirmed, determine it as a target message. Further, the system can also automatically detect other keywords in the target messages, such as "the deadline reaches eight hours in the evening today", "please connect the dragon before the tomorrow morning", and the like, and can automatically determine the target folding duration according to the current time and the time-related contents in the target messages. Alternatively, the system may set the target fold-up period based on historical data.

In an exemplary embodiment, the method may further include: responding to a selection instruction of a message folding control for the target message, and displaying a folding object to be selected of the target message; responding to a selection instruction aiming at the folding object to be selected, and determining a target folding object of the target message; and determining the message sent by the target folding object as the folded message after the target message and within the target folding time.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, besides the target folding time length, the target folding object can be set, that is, the messages sent by which group members are folded, and the messages sent by which group members are not folded. By combining the target collapse time length and the target collapse object, which messages are collapsed can be controlled more accurately.

For example, it may be set that the object to be selected includes a general member having no management authority and a group owner and an administrator having management authority, and if the target object to be selected as the group owner and the administrator having management authority, only the group owner and the administrator may collapse messages sent after the target message and within the target collapse period, so that the group owner and the administrator may pay attention to the messages in the collapsed messages without affecting other group members to view the messages in the collapsed messages normally.

For another example, it may be set that the object to be selected includes a group member whose member level is higher than the level threshold and a group member whose member level is lower than or equal to the level threshold. Assuming that some group tasks sent into the target session can only be participated by group members below LV 5, the target folding object can be selected as the group members with the member class lower than or equal to the class threshold, and only the messages sent by the group members below the member class LV 5 (assumed to be the class threshold) in the target session after the target message and within the target folding duration can be folded, so that the purpose of reminding the group members can be achieved.

In an exemplary embodiment, the method may further include: acquiring a target object identifier of a target object, wherein the target object is an object triggering the triggering instruction in the target session; determining the number of messages in the collapsed message, wherein the number of messages in the collapsed message is dynamically increased or decreased with the updating of the messages in the collapsed message; starting from determining the target folding time length, counting down the target folding time length, and determining the residual folding time length; and generating the folding prompt message according to the target object identification, the message quantity in the folded message and the residual folding duration.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, after the target object initiates message folding, a small gray bar (a way of performing text notification in the AIO, but the disclosure is not limited thereto) may be displayed in the AIO to remind the group members of the number of folded messages.

For example, as shown in fig. 7, the collapse prompt message may include "you have collapsed the lower 2 messages 04:59 for all members", where the target object a sees a style of collapse prompt message, and it is assumed that the collapse message is collapsed for all group members existing in the target session for the target collapse period, where the number "2" indicates the number of messages that have been currently collapsed, and in the embodiment of fig. 7, the collapsed message is the "all have forgotten double" session message sent by group member b and the "good" session message sent by group member c in fig. 4. "04:59" is the remaining fold length after the target fold length "5 minutes" is counted down from the current time.

It should be noted that, although the embodiment of the disclosure takes the example of the target object identifier (such as "you" in fig. 7 and "a" in fig. 8 below) of the target object included in the collapse prompt message, the disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, in the above example, if the system itself initiates the message folding function, then there is no target object, and the folding hint message may not include the target object identifier of the target object.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the display manner of the message number and the remaining folding duration included in the folding prompt message is not limited to the above-mentioned manner, for example, two numbers separated by a certain interval may be displayed in different colors in the folding prompt message, for example, a red number represents the message number in the folded message, and a green number represents the remaining folding duration.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the group members in the target session can send the message to the session interface in real time, so that before the end of the countdown of the target folding duration, the message in the folded message can be updated in real time, for example, some group members may continuously send new messages, some group members may withdraw the sent messages, and the like, and as the number of the messages in the folded message changes dynamically, the number of the messages in the folding prompt message also changes in real time.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, as the target folding time length is counted down, the remaining folding time length is also continuously changed.

According to the message display method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, after the target message in the session interface of the target session is determined, the message folding control of the target message can be displayed by responding to the triggering instruction aiming at the target message, the target folding duration of the target message can be determined by further responding to the operation instruction of the message folding control of the target message, and the folding prompt message can be adopted to replace and display the folded message after the target message needing to be highlighted in the session interface, so that on one hand, folding of the message after a certain specific position sent in real time in the target session can be realized, management of the message in the target session is facilitated, important target messages can be timely displayed and processed, and the message is prevented from being covered by too many messages; on the other hand, the method can provide the capability of folding for the messages sent after the target message and within the target folding time period, so that the target message with timeliness can be conveniently focused on by the objects in the target session needing to be focused on, the notification and the highlighting of the target message are realized within the timeliness of the target folding time period, and other objects in the target session of the target message can not be interfered to be seen after the target folding time period is out of date. By the scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, the message display mode of the social client is enriched, and the viscosity of the group members of the social client can be effectively improved.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, after the target object initiates message folding, the folded messages in the session interfaces of other group members in the target session are automatically folded, and small gray bars are displayed as folding prompt messages in the AIOs of the other group members.

For example, as shown in fig. 8, for the collapse prompt message seen by the target object shown in fig. 7, the collapse prompt message seen by the other group members in the target session is "a message 04:10 under which all members have been collapsed", that is, "a" is used to indicate the target object identifier of the target object initiating message collapse, "2" is the number of messages in the collapsed message, and "04:10" is the remaining collapse duration at this time.

On the basis of the illustration in fig. 8, as illustrated in fig. 9, the other group members may input a new message (a message transmitted after the current time and within the target folding time) in the input box through the virtual input keyboard, "engaged", and click the transmission control on the virtual input keyboard to transmit the new message to the session interface of the target session.

On the basis of the illustration of fig. 9, as illustrated in fig. 10, the new message "participated" sent by the other group member in fig. 9 is automatically collapsed into a collapsed message, and the process can demonstrate that the new message enters the collapsed message through animation, and assume that the remaining collapse time period becomes "4:05" minutes.

As shown in fig. 11, when the new message "participated" in fig. 10 is automatically folded into the folded message, the folding prompt message is automatically changed to "the lower 3 messages 04:02 which are folded for all members" a ".

It should be noted that, although the embodiment shown in fig. 8 to 11 above takes the example of folding the new message input and sent by the other group members as an example, if it is set to fold the message sent by all the group members within the target folding duration, the new message sent by the target object may be folded similarly.

In an exemplary embodiment, the method may further include: responding to a trigger instruction aiming at a message expansion control, expanding and displaying the message in the folded message according to the time sequence of message sending, and converting the message expansion control into a message refolding control, wherein the message expansion control and the message refolding control are included in the folding prompt message, or the message expansion control and the message refolding control are displayed independently of the folding prompt message; and responding to a trigger instruction aiming at the message refolding control, and reusing the refolding prompt message to replace the refolded message for display.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, "unfolding display" refers to unfolding the messages in the collapsed messages, and displaying the messages in the collapsed messages on a session interface of the target session one by one according to the message sending time of each message in the collapsed messages.

It should be noted that, in the following description, the message expansion control and the message refolding control are taken as examples to be included in the fold-prompting message, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the message expansion control and/or the message refolding control may also be made independent of the fold-up hint message. For example, when the collapsed prompting message is displayed, a dot can be displayed below the collapsed prompting message, and the dot is displayed with "expand" to prompt the group member as a message expansion control, and the group member clicks the dot to expand and display the message in the collapsed message. For another example, a floating layer may be displayed on a certain setting area of the session page of the target session while the collapse prompt message is displayed, the message expansion control is displayed on the floating layer, and the group member clicks the floating layer, so that the message in the collapsed message may be expanded and displayed.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the collapsed message in the collapsed message can be expanded and displayed again. There are various ways to re-expand the display.

For example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 7-11, the collapse hint messages each include a message expand control (identified by "expand"). As shown in fig. 12, the other group members assume "t", and if the t clicks the message expansion control in the collapsed prompt message in the session interface shown in fig. 11, the collapsed prompt message shown in fig. 12 is displayed, and the message expansion control in the collapsed prompt message becomes the message refolding control (identified by "collapse"), and after the target message, the "all forgets double" sent by the group member b, "good" sent by the group member c, "engaged" session messages sent by the group member t are sequentially displayed in the order of the message sending time of each collapsed message from early to late, and the b, c, and Ding Yiji t are correspondingly displayed. Similarly, the target object may also click on the message expansion control in FIG. 7 to expand a message in the display collapsed message. That is, regardless of whether the target collapse period is the first collapse period or the second collapse period, group members in the target session can view the collapsed message by manually clicking a message expansion control.

In an exemplary embodiment, the method may further include: when the target folding time length is a first folding time length with a determined time point, starting from the determination of the target folding time length, counting down the target folding time length; and after the countdown of the target folding duration is finished, automatically unfolding and displaying the messages in the folded messages in the session interface according to the message sending time sequence.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, if the target folding duration is determined as the first folding duration with the determined time point, for example, the time point of 5 minutes, when the countdown of the target folding duration is finished, the message in the folded message is automatically unfolded and displayed.

As shown in fig. 13, assuming that the countdown of the target folding duration of "5 minutes" is completed, the folding prompt message is not displayed at this time, and after the target message, the session messages of "all forget to double" sent by the group member b, "good" sent by the group member c, and "participated" sent by the group member t are sequentially displayed in the order from the early to the late message sending time of the message in each folded message.

In an exemplary embodiment, the method may further include: when the target folding time length is a second folding time length without a determined time point, determining the message sending time of the target message; determining a current object existing in the target session from a message sending time of the target message to the second folding duration; if the target message is detected to be consulted by each current object in the target session, automatically unfolding and displaying the message in the folded message in the session interface according to the message sending time sequence.

For example, when the target object selects the "after all-member review" as the target collapse period, after the target message is reviewed by all the current objects in the target session, the target message is sequentially displayed in the order of the message sending time of each message in the collapsed message from the early to the late.

In an exemplary embodiment, the method may further include: displaying a message collapse portal, wherein the message collapse portal is included in the collapse prompt message or the message collapse portal is displayed independently of the collapse prompt message; responding to a trigger instruction aiming at the message folding inlet, displaying a folding message viewing page, and unfolding and displaying the messages in the folded message according to the message sending time sequence in the folding message viewing page.

In the above embodiments, the folded message is folded in the AIO of the target session, but the disclosure is not limited thereto, and the folded message may be folded into a message folding entry, the message folding entry is displayed on the session interface, the message folding entry may be displayed at any position of the session interface, and when the message folding entry is clicked, a secondary message viewing page may be entered or a floating layer may be popped up on the session interface as a message viewing page, and the folded message viewing page may be sequentially unfolded and displayed according to the message sending time.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, before the end of the countdown of the target folding duration, if the group member manually clicks the message expansion control to expand and display the message in the folded message again, the message in the folded message cannot be folded again. For example, the group member displays the message in the collapsed message by long-pressing the expand, and no message collapse control corresponding to the collapse message is displayed. And for the message in the folded message which is re-unfolded and displayed after the countdown of the target folding time length is finished, the message in the folded message can be folded again.

In an exemplary embodiment, the messages in the collapsed messages may not include messages sent by a target object within the target collapse period, where the target object is an object in the target session that triggers the trigger instruction. Wherein the method may further comprise: and when the first messages which are sent by the target object and are positioned behind the folding prompt message in the message sending time are received in the target session in the target folding time, sequentially displaying the first messages between the target message and the folding prompt message according to the message sending time sequence of the first messages.

Specifically, in the target folding duration, if the target object initiating message folding sends a message again (called a first message), the first message can be displayed below the target message and above the small gray bar of the folding prompt message, if the first message is a plurality of first messages, each first message can be displayed in sequence according to the sequence of message sending time, the display sent before is on the top, and the display sent recently is on the bottom. And after the countdown of the target folding duration is finished, each first message and each message in the folded messages are rearranged automatically according to the sequence of the message sending time and displayed.

As shown in fig. 14, assume that the collapsed hint message displayed is "you have collapsed the next 3 messages 03:00 for all members" and includes a message expand control. The target folding time is not counted down at this time.

As shown in fig. 15, in the target collapse period, the target object inputs a first message of "home speed out of the bar" in the input box through the virtual input keyboard.

When the target object clicks the send control, the user interface shown in fig. 16 is entered, that is, the first message of "people speed out staging bar" input by the target object in fig. 15 is displayed after the target message and before the prompt message is collapsed.

In an exemplary embodiment, the method may further include: responding to a trigger instruction aiming at the message expansion control, or when the countdown of the target folding duration is finished, automatically reordering and displaying each message and each first message in the folded message according to the message sending time sequence. Wherein the message expansion control is included in the collapsed hint message or the message expansion control is displayed independently of the collapsed hint message.

As shown in fig. 17, when the countdown of the target folding duration is finished, the first messages of the group member b, which are sent by the folded message, "all forget double", the group member c, which are sent by the group member t, which are session messages that are already participating in, and the "people speed out of the bar cluster" which are input and sent by the target object are sorted and displayed again according to the sequence of the message sending time.

In an exemplary embodiment, the method may further include: within the target folding duration, responding to a trigger instruction aiming at a message expansion control, expanding and displaying the message in the folded message according to the message sending time sequence in the session interface, and converting the message expansion control into a message refolding control, wherein the message expansion control and the message refolding control are included in the folding prompt message, or the message expansion control and the message refolding control are displayed independently of the folding prompt message; when a second message sent by a target object is received, displaying the message in the folded message and the second message according to the message sending time sequence, wherein the target object is an object triggering the triggering instruction in the target session; and responding to a trigger instruction for the message refolding control, and replacing and displaying an updated and folded message by using an updated and folded prompt message after the target message in the target folding time, wherein the updated and folded message comprises a message in the folded message and the second message.

Specifically, in the target folding duration, if the target object initiating message folding manually clicks the message unfolding control in the folding prompt message to unfold and display the message in the folded message again, when the target object sends a new message (called a second message) after that, the sent second message and the message in the folded message are displayed according to the sequence of the sending time of the message. When the target object clicks the message refolding control in the refolding prompt message again, the second message sent by the target object is also folded.

For example, as shown in fig. 18, when the countdown of the target collapse time period is not finished, after the target object a manually clicks the message expansion control of the collapse prompt message, the message expansion control becomes the message refolding control, and at this time, the message in the collapsed message is displayed under the collapse prompt message: the group member B sends a session message of "double" forgets, the group member C sends a session message of "good" and the group member D sends a session message of "participated".

As shown in fig. 19, when the countdown of the target folding duration is not finished, the target object a inputs a second message "home speed comes out of the bar" in the input box through the virtual input keyboard, clicks the sending control, and enters the user interface shown in fig. 20, namely, displays the message and the second message in the folded message according to the message sending time sequence: the group member B sends "all forgets double", the group member C sends "good", the group member D sends "participated" session message and the second message "speed at home" out of the bar, and the fold prompt message is updated from "you fold the lower 3 messages 03:00 for all members" to "you fold the lower 4 messages 02:10 for all members" of FIG. 18, i.e. the second message is also considered to be folded.

As shown in fig. 21, when the target object clicks the message refolding control in the fold prompting message in fig. 20 again, and the target fold duration is still not counted down, an update fold prompting message "you have folded the lower 4 messages 02:08 for all members" is generated, and the update fold prompting message is replaced and displayed to update the folded message: the group member B sends a session message of "double" forgets, the group member C sends a session message of "good" and the group member D sends a session message of "participated".

Further, the embodiment of the disclosure also provides a message display method, which may include: displaying a target message in a session interface of a target session; and displaying a folding prompt message after the target message in the target folding time. The folding prompt message is used for replacing and displaying folded messages, the folded messages are messages with message sending time after the target messages and received within the target folding time, the target folding time is determined in response to operation instructions of a message folding control for the target messages, and the message folding control for the target messages is displayed in response to triggering instructions of the target messages in a session interface for the target session.

The message display method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure provides the capability of folding at least part of the messages after a certain item mark message, so that the target message with timeliness can be conveniently focused by the group members needing to be focused in the target folding time, and other group members who only see the message after the message is outdated can not be interfered. On one hand, the method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can fold the real-time chat messages, and is not limited to the same or similar messages, but can be all messages; on the other hand, the message with timeliness can play a role in notifying and highlighting within the timeliness of the message.

The message display method provided by the above-described embodiment is exemplified below in conjunction with the communication session system shown in fig. 22, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. As shown in fig. 22, the communication session system assumes a terminal device 1 including a group owner/manager, a server 2, a terminal device 3 of a user B (any other group member other than the group owner/manager in the target session), and a terminal device 4 of a user C (any other group member other than the group owner/manager in the target session).

It is assumed that a group owner or administrator performs a folding process on a certain message (determined as a target message) in a group chat window (a session interface of a target session), and it is assumed that a social client running on the terminal device 1 folds and displays all messages after the target message and within a target folding duration, and simultaneously sends a message folding request to the server 2. The message folding request carries data such as a group uin (the uin is a mark or code number of the group and has uniqueness), a message id (a unique identifier of the target message) of the target message, a remaining folding duration after the countdown of the target folding duration, and the like.

After receiving the message folding request sent by the social client running on the terminal device 1, the server 2 analyzes a data packet corresponding to the message folding request, searches all group member information of the current group chat according to the group uin of the target session, and pushes folding notifications to the social client installed on the terminal devices (for example, the terminal device 3 and the terminal device 4) corresponding to all group members (for example, the user B and the user C are taken as an example in fig. 22, but the method is not limited thereto in practice). The folding notification carries data such as group uin of the target session, message id of the target message, remaining folding duration after the target folding duration is counted down, and the like.

After receiving the folding notification sent by the server 2, the social client installed on the terminal device corresponding to the group member unlocks the data packet corresponding to the folding notification, searches the group uin of the folded target session according to the folding notification, folds the corresponding message in the chat message list, and inserts a small gray bar to display the folding prompt message.

When the countdown of the target folding duration is finished, or after the group member clicks the message expansion control in the folding prompt message, the corresponding social client side can expand and display the message in the current folded message.

In the state of message folding, if a group member newly sends a message (for example, it is assumed that a user B and a user C send new messages), the corresponding social client can fold the new message into the folded message, and when the folded message is unfolded and displayed, the folded message is displayed in sequence according to the message sending time of all the messages.

As shown in fig. 22, which is a schematic communication flow diagram between the server 2 and each social client, the main functions of the server 2 include:

1) Receiving a message folding request of a target object, such as a group owner/manager, analyzing a corresponding data packet, obtaining data of a group uin of a target session, a message id of the target message, the remaining folding time after the countdown of the target folding time, and the like, searching the information of the current group member in a cache and a database, and pushing folding notification to a social client corresponding to the group member.

2) Receiving a request of sending a new message from a corresponding social client, inserting the new message into a message database and a cache, and pushing a new message notification to social clients corresponding to other group members, wherein the new message notification comprises a group uin of a target session, a message content of the new message, a message id of the new message and the like.

The server 2 refers to a device that can establish a communication session between at least two social clients and provide a plurality of services such as data storage, message pushing, etc. for each social client. It may specifically include, but is not limited to: data servers, web servers (web servers), application servers, cloud servers, and the like. It should be understood that the server 2 may be an independent server, or may be a server cluster or a distributed system formed by a plurality of servers, or may be a cloud server that provides cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDNs (Content Delivery Network, content delivery networks), and basic cloud computing services such as big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

As shown in fig. 23, a client installed on a terminal device (here, a social client is exemplified) may include a network layer, a data layer, and a presentation layer.

The network layer is a module for communication between the social client and the background server, and includes sending a message folding request (carrying data such as a group uin of a target session, a message id of the target message, a remaining folding time length after the countdown of the target folding time length) and a new message to the server, pulling group member information, pushing by a receiving server and the like, updating data to the data layer after the social client receives the data, and the underlying communication protocol may be UDP (User Datagram Protocol ). Failure is indicated when the network is not connectable.

The data layer may be used for storing data related to the social client, and may include a message folding request (data such as a group uin carrying a target session, a message id of a target message, and a remaining folding duration after the countdown of the target folding duration)/message data (message content, message id, etc.)/group member data/administrator data, and the like. And the data are stored in the memory cache and the local database, and when the memory cache does not have the data yet, the corresponding data are loaded to the database and cached in the memory cache, so that the acquisition speed is improved. And after receiving the data sent by the server, the social client side simultaneously updates the memory cache and the database.

The display layer is a part of a social client responsible for UI (User Interface) display, and can comprise 4 parts, the first part is a message folding page, and can comprise a message folding control (such as a message folding button), a folding time selector (used for displaying a folding time to be selected and determining a target folding time) and the like, wherein the standard system control is responsible for display, and after group members are successfully set, the network layer is informed to send a message folding request; the second part is a message list and a small gray bar prompt, which comprises a message list display, wherein the small gray bar prompt display (for example, "you fold the lower X messages for all members", X is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1 and represents the number of messages in the folded messages), a countdown control (for counting down the target folding time), a message expansion control (for example, a message expansion button) and the like are displayed by a standard system control, when the group members click the message expansion control, the folded messages are displayed in an expanding manner, and if new messages exist, the folded messages are displayed in a sequence according to the message sending time of all the messages; the third part is a message folding control, which finds the message range (for example, all messages sent in the target folding time length) to be folded according to the message id, hides the corresponding messages, only displays the current item of target message, automatically expands the messages in the folded messages when the group member clicks the message expansion control, and cancels the hidden state of all the messages in the folded messages to be displayed in the list; the fourth part is a group chat window page mainly responsible for the presentation of a group chat frame, including an input box for message input, message presentation, group member presentation, etc., and is responsible for presentation by standard system controls.

The presentation layer can be responsible for responding to the group member interaction operation, monitoring clicking and dragging events, and calling back to the corresponding function processing, and capability support is provided by a standard system control.

According to the message display method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the message after the specific position is folded, so that the group owner and the manager can be provided with the capability of folding the message, the management of the message content is facilitated, the important message can be timely displayed, and the message is prevented from being covered by too many messages. For group members, important message contents can be conveniently and quickly seen, and compared with the case that all message contents need to be checked in the related technology, the scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure is higher in efficiency and better in experience. And more group management capability is provided, so that the public praise and the use frequency of group members can be improved.
