Detailed Description

Technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application are within the scope of the protection of the present application.

The terms "first," "second," and the like in the description of the present application, are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged, as appropriate, such that embodiments of the present application may be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein, and that the objects identified by "first," "second," etc. are generally of a type and not limited to the number of objects, e.g., the first object may be one or more. In addition, "and/or" in the specification means at least one of the connected objects, and the character "/", generally means a relationship in which the associated objects are one kind of "or".

The session management method, the device, the electronic equipment and the medium provided by the embodiment of the application are described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenes thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The session management method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to the situation that a user views the wanted session message and the processing condition of other contacts on the group to-do message in the chat tool.

For a scenario where a user views a desired chat record in a chat tool, assuming that the user uses the chat tool to chat with multiple contacts in a first session, when the user wants to view an important message (e.g., a meeting notification, a work schedule, etc. message) sent before contact a at this time, the user needs to slide the display interface of the chat record in the session interface of the first session, and look up the important message in all the chat records. However, in the case of more chat records, the process of finding the important message is cumbersome and time consuming, thus resulting in less efficient viewing of the desired message content by the user using the chat tool.

In this embodiment of the present application, a user uses a chat tool to perform a session with multiple contacts in a first session, and when the user observes that contact a sends an important message (such as a meeting notification, a work schedule, etc.), the user can press a chat background picture for a long time, divide image areas of multiple associable session messages in the chat background picture, and associate the important message with image area 1 in the multiple image areas. At any time, when a user wants to view the important message, the user only needs to input the image area 1, and the electronic equipment can directly and rapidly position the chat page to the display position of the important message in the session interface, so that the user can view the important message, and the convenience and efficiency of viewing the content of the wanted message by using the chat tool by the user are improved.

Aiming at the scene that the user views the processing condition of the group to-do message of other contacts in the chat tool. Assuming that a user sends a group advertisement in a first session by using a chat tool, setting the group advertisement as a group to be handled, when the user wants to view the view condition of other contacts on the group advertisement at the moment, the user needs to slide a display interface of a chat record on a session interface of the first session to view and count which contacts read the group advertisement, and then respectively send messages to the contacts which do not read the group advertisement to remind them to read the group advertisement. However, under the condition of more group members, the process of counting the reading condition of the group bulletin and sending the reminding message is tedious and time-consuming, so that the efficiency of the user for checking the processing condition of the group to-do message by other contacts by using the chat tool is low.

In this embodiment of the present application, a user sends a group advertisement in a first session using a chat tool, and sets the group advertisement as a group to be handled, when the user wants to view the view condition of other contacts on the group advertisement at this time, the user may associate the group advertisement with an image area 1 in a plurality of image areas, and after pressing the image area 1 for a long time, the background picture displays a plurality of mask blocks on a newly-built mask interface, where each mask block is associated with one contact in the first session. After the contact A and the contact B read the group announcement, the color of the mask block corresponding to the contact A and the contact B is changed into color, so that the group members can be clearly known to be finished reading the group announcement and the group members are not finished according to the color change. And the control 'one-key prompting' can be clicked, and prompt messages are sent to remind all group members who do not read the group bulletin, so that convenience and efficiency of the user for viewing the to-be-handled message processing conditions of other contacts by using the chat tool are improved.

The execution body of the session management method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be an electronic device, or may be a functional module and/or a functional entity capable of implementing the session management method in the electronic device, and the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described below by taking the electronic device as an example.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, after a user triggers to open a first application in the electronic device, at least one session identifier is displayed on a homepage of the first application, where each session identifier indicates a session, and when the electronic device is triggered to enter the first session indicated by the target session identifier, a first session interface of the first session is displayed on the homepage of the first application.

Further alternatively, in an embodiment of the present application, the first application may be an application with a communication function, where the first application includes, but is not limited to, any one of the following: social applications, gaming applications, shopping applications, etc.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the first session may be a session between a user and any one of contacts in a contact list of the first application, or may be a group chat session between the user and at least two contacts in the contact list of the first application.

Specifically, the first session may be a session between a user and a friend in a social application, a session between a user and a teammate in a game application, or a session between a user and a customer service person in a shopping application.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the user may customize the background picture of the first session, and specifically, the background picture may include, but is not limited to, any one of the following: scenery pictures, character pictures, solid background pictures, etc.

It should be noted that, the above "landscape type picture" can be understood as: the image main body is a picture of natural landscape and humane landscape; the above "person picture" can be understood as: the image body is a picture of a person.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, when the user performs a session with another contact in the first session, the first target input may be performed on the background picture, so that the electronic device may divide the background picture into N image areas, and display the dividing line on the background picture of the first session interface.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, when the user performs a session with another contact in the first session, the electronic device may further automatically segment the background picture into N image areas, and display the segmentation line on the background picture of the first session interface.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, when the user performs a session with another contact in the first session, the user may further set a picture sent by the other contact as a background picture of the first session interface, where the background picture includes N image areas.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the N image areas may be image areas having a specific shape and not overlapping each other, the N image areas may be separated by lines, and the shape of the N image areas may be any shape such as a rectangle, a circle, a trapezoid, and the like.

When the background picture is a non-solid background picture, the electronic device may divide the image object in the picture into N non-overlapping image areas according to the features of the background picture, such as image gray scale, color, structure outline, texture, etc., where the shapes and sizes of the N image areas may be the same or different; when the background picture is a solid background picture, the electronic device can automatically generate N image areas with the same shape and size, such as rectangular image blocks, in the background picture of the first session interface.

Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first target input includes but is not limited to: the user can specifically determine according to the actual use requirement through the touch input of the finger or the stylus to the background picture, or the specific gesture input by the user, or other feasibility inputs, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

For example, the first target input may specifically be: and the user inputs the background picture of the first session in a long-press mode.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the at least one target object may be any object of the first session interface, including but not limited to: a contact avatar, a message display box, a referenced message, a session identification for a first session, a message timestamp, a group to-do operation, and the like.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, after displaying the N image areas on the background picture of the first session interface, the user may perform the second target input on at least one target image area of the N image areas, so that the electronic device may associate the at least one target image area with at least one target object of M target objects in the first session, where M is a positive integer.

It should be noted that, one target image area of the N image areas may be associated with one target object in the first session, or may be associated with a plurality of target objects in the first session.

Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the second target input is used to trigger the electronic device to associate a target image area on the background picture with a target object in the first session, where the second target input includes but is not limited to: the user can specifically determine according to the actual use requirement by inputting the target image area on the background picture and/or the target object in the first session through a touch device such as a finger or a stylus, or inputting a specific gesture input by the user or inputting other feasibility, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

For example, the second target input may specifically be: the user drags the target image area to the input on the target contact header or drags the target contact header to the input on the target image area.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, an area identifier of the target image area and an object identifier of a target object associated with the target image area are displayed on the target image area in the background picture. The target image area is any one of the N image areas.

Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the area identifier of the target image area includes: a name identification of the target image area and an icon identification, wherein the name identification indicates the name of the target image area, and the icon identification indicates the display position and size of the target image area.

Specifically, the object identifier may be a name identifier, a head portrait identifier, a message display frame identifier, or the like of a contact person associated with the target image area in the first session.

For example, as shown in fig. 2 (a), assuming that the first session is group chat 1, after the user presses the background picture 1 of the first session interface for a long time, as shown in fig. 2 (b), the electronic device divides the background picture 1 into N image tiles 2, and each image tile 2 displays a name identifier, for example: "block 1", "block 2", "block 3", etc. And the user presses the head portrait identifier 3 of the contact A for a long time and drags the head portrait identifier 3 to the block 3, so that the contact A is associated with the block 3, and the head portrait identifier 3 of the contact A is displayed on the block 3.

It will be appreciated that the names of the target image areas may be displayed on the target image areas to better distinguish the N target image areas on the background picture. After the target image area is associated with the target object in the first session, the identification of the associated target object is displayed on the target image area, so that a user can conveniently and quickly identify the target objects associated with different target image areas.

Step 102, the electronic device receives a first input from a user of a first target image area of the at least one target image area.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the first target image area may be any one of at least one target image area.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first input may be used to select a first target image area of the at least one target image area.

Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first input includes but is not limited to: the touch input of the user to the first target image area through the touch device such as a finger or a stylus pen, or a specific gesture input by the user, or other feasibility inputs, may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

For example, the first input may specifically be: the user makes a double-click input to the first target image area.

Step 103, the electronic device displays related information of a first target object associated with the first target image area in response to the first input.

In an embodiment of the present application, the first target object includes at least one of the following: contacts participating in a first session, messages in the first session, operational matters in the first session.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the related information of the first target object may include display information, content information, time information, and completion information of the operation item related to the first target object.

Further optionally, when the first target object is a contact participating in the first session, the related information of the first target object may include: picture information of contact head portraits of contacts participating in a first session, contact name identification information, historical message records of contacts and the like; when the first target object is a message in the first session, the related information of the first target object may include: time information of message sending, contact information associated with the message, etc.; when the first target object is an operation item in the first session, the related information of the first target object may include: the specific content of the operation items, the contacts associated with the operation items, the processing conditions of the operation items, and the like.

In one example, the first target object associated with the first target image region is a contact, such as contact a, that is engaged in the first session. When the user wants to view the chat record with contact a, the user can click on the first target image area and after selecting the "chat record" identifier in the pop-up list of function options, the first session interface displays a first page on which all chat records between the user and contact a are displayed.

In another example, the first target object associated with the first target image region is a message in a first session, such as a conferencing message. When the user wants to view the specific content of the conference call message, the user can double-click the first target image area, and then the user can quickly locate the display position of the conference call message in the session interface of the first session, so that the user can quickly view the conference call message.

In yet another example, the first target object associated with the first target image region is an action item in the first session, such as a group to-do message. When the user wants to check the processing condition of the group members on the group to-do message, the user can click on the first target image area, then N target image areas corresponding to the N group members one by one are displayed on the background picture of the first session, the display states of the N target image areas are different, for example, the target image area displayed in color represents that the contact corresponding to the target image area has processed the group to-do message, and the target image area displayed in gray represents that the contact corresponding to the target image area has not processed the group to-do message.

In the session management method provided by the embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device displays the first session interface of the first session and the background picture of the first session interface includes N image areas, at least one image area of the N image areas may be associated with at least one target object in the first session, and the user may input the target image area of the N image areas, so that the electronic device displays related information of the first target object associated with the target image area. Wherein the target object comprises at least one of: contacts participating in a first session, messages in the first session, operational matters in the first session. Because the user can associate the contact person participating in the first session, the message in the first session and the operation item in the first session with the target image area in the background picture, when the user looks up the session content related to the contact person participating in the first session, or collects the message content in the first session, or counts the processing condition of the operation item in the first session, the electronic device can display the related information associated with the target image area only by inputting the target image area, thereby facilitating the user to perform operations such as searching, sorting, recording and the like on the related session content or the operation item, and improving the convenience of the user for managing the session in the chat application.

Hereinafter, the first target object is specifically described as a different type of object.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, in the case where the first target object includes a first contact participating in the first session, a contact identifier of the first contact is displayed on a first target image area in the background picture, as shown in fig. 3 in conjunction with fig. 1, in step 102, this may be specifically implemented by the following step 102 a.

Step 102a, the electronic device receives a first input of a contact identification of a first contact.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the first contact may be any contact in the first session associated with the first target image area.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first input may be further used to select a content type indicated by a contact identifier of the first contact.

Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first input includes but is not limited to: the touch input of the user to the contact person identifier through the touch device such as a finger or a stylus, or a specific gesture input by the user, or other feasibility inputs can be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

In one example, the first input may specifically be: the user clicks the contact person identifier of the first contact person displayed on the first target image area, at least one option identifier is displayed on the left side area of the contact person identifier of the first contact person, the at least one option identifier comprises an identifier of chat record and an identifier of collection, and the user clicks any one option identifier in the at least one option identifier.

In another example, the first input may specifically be: the user clicks and slides to the left on the contact identification of the first contact displayed on the first target image area, or the user clicks and slides to the right on the contact identification of the first contact displayed on the first target image area. The user clicks on the contact identifier of the first contact and slides leftwards to show that the user wants to view the chat record with the first contact, and clicks on the contact identifier of the first contact and slides rightwards to show that the user wants to view a certain message sent by the first contact of the collection.

Therefore, as the user can directly input the contact person identifiers of the first contact person in different ways to realize different functions without entering a plurality of pages to input different function identifiers for multiple times, the convenience of inputting the function identifiers by the user through the electronic equipment is improved.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4 in conjunction with fig. 3, the above step 103 may be specifically implemented by the following step 103 a.

Step 103a, the electronic device displays at least one of the following in response to the first input: and recording historical information related to the first contact in the first session, wherein the information quantity of the historical information related to the first contact is collected in the first target image area.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may display different message contents according to a selection made by the user in the first input to the content type option identifier indicated by the contact identifier of the first contact.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the option identifier of the content type indicated by the contact identifier of the first contact may include an identifier "chat record" and an identifier "collection". When the user selects the mark 'chat record', a first page is displayed in a first session interface, and all chat records between the user and the first contact person are displayed on the first page; when the user selects the mark "collect", a second page is displayed in the first session interface, and the message content associated with the first contact collected by the user is displayed on the second page.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, a first digital identifier is displayed in the first target image area in the background picture, where the first digital identifier indicates a message number of the history message associated with the first contact.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, assume that the first session is a group chat 1, where the group chat 1 includes a contact a and a contact B, and after the user establishes association between the avatar identifier 4 of the contact B and "block 3" in the background picture, the avatar identifier 4 of the contact B is displayed on "block 3". After the user clicks "block 3", the left area of the avatar identifier 4 of contact B displays the identifier 5 "chat record" and the identifier 6 "collection". When the user clicks on the mark "chat log" 5, a first numerical mark 7"9" is displayed on "block 3", indicating that there are 9 chat logs between the user and contact B. After the user double clicks the identifier 5 "chat record", as shown in fig. 6, the first session interface is overlaid and displayed on the first page 8 to display all chat records between the user and the contact B, including text information and transmitted information such as files, pictures, videos, etc. When the user clicks on the identifier 6 "favorite", as shown in connection with 5, as shown in fig. 7 (a), a second numeric identifier "1/9" is displayed on "tile 3", indicating that the user has favorite one of the 9 chat messages with contact B. After the user double clicks the identification 6 "favorite", the first session interface is overlaid to display a second page 9, as shown in fig. 7 (B), on which second page 9 the message content of the message 2 sent by the first contact B of the user's favorite is displayed, in combination with 5.

Therefore, the electronic equipment can display the chat record, the collection record, the message number of the history message and other contents of the first contact related to the first target image area according to the input of the user on the contact identification of the first contact in the first target image area in different modes, so that the operation of manually searching and recording by the user is reduced, and the convenience of the user for viewing and recording related session contents by using the electronic equipment is improved.

Of course, the user can quickly mark the important message after receiving the important message in the process of carrying out the conversation with other contacts, and can quickly check the important message at any time later, and the situation is specifically described below.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 8 in connection with fig. 1, in the case that the first target object includes the first message in the first session, the above-mentioned step 103 may be specifically implemented by the following step 103 b.

Step 103b, the electronic device responds to the first input, jumps the session interface of the first session to the display position of the first message to display the first message, and displays the area identifier of the first target image area at the association position of the first message.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first input may be further used to select an identifier of the first message on the first target image area.

Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first input includes but is not limited to: the touch input of the user to the identifier of the first message on the first target image area through the touch device such as a finger or a stylus, or a specific gesture input by the user, or other feasibility inputs, may be specifically determined according to the actual use requirement, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the first message may be any message in the first session, and specifically, the first message may be text information, a message in a file format, a message in a picture format, a message in a video format, or the like.

It should be noted that, the "association location of the first message" may be understood as: in the first session interface, a nearby location, which may specifically be an upper region of the first message display frame, is located at the first message display location.

For example, as shown in fig. 9, assuming that the first session is group chat 1, and that contact a in group chat 1 sends a "message 1", after the user associates "message 1" with "block 2" (i.e., the first target image area), the electronic device may directly locate the chat record in group chat 1 to the display position of "message 1", and display the block identifier "block 2" in the upper area of the display frame 10 of "message 1", i.e., indicates that "block 2" is associated with "message 1".

Therefore, after the user associates the first message in the session with the first target image area, the user wants to check the first message at any time, and the electronic device can directly jump to the display position of the first message in the session interface only by inputting the first target image area, so that the user can check the first message conveniently without sliding the session interface, and the first message is searched in the chat record, thereby improving the convenience of the user for checking the first message by using the electronic device and saving the time.

In general, in an instant session application, information such as group announcement, group statistics, group collection and the like may be set as a group to-do so as to implement group functions such as notification, statistics, collection and the like, and a group administrator may quickly view and count a processing situation of a group member on a group to-do message by inputting a target image area, which is specifically described below.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 10 in conjunction with fig. 1, in a case where the first target object includes the target operation item in the first session, the above step 103 may be specifically implemented by the following step 103c, and after the above step 103, the session management method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following step 201.

Step 103c, the electronic device responds to the first input to display the target mask layer on the background picture of the first session interface.

In this embodiment of the present application, the target mask includes at least one mask area, where the at least one mask area has an association relationship with at least one contact of the first session.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the above "target operation item" may be understood as: the operational matters performed to meet the information interaction requirement in the contact session process may include at least one of the following: group notification, group statistics, group collection, etc.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, a target message may be displayed on the first session interface, where the target message may be a message capable of executing the target operation item, and specifically, the target message may be: group advertisement messages, group statistics documents, group collection messages, and the like.

It will be appreciated that the user may send a target message, such as a group advertisement message, a group statistics document, a group collection message, in the first session to achieve the purposes of notifying all contacts participating in the first session, or performing information statistics, completing collection, etc. In addition, the user may set the target message as a group to do, that is, the user may indicate that all contacts that need to participate in the first session process the target message. Meanwhile, the user can associate the target message set as the group to be handled with the first target image area.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first input may be further used to select a target message indicated by the first target image area.

For example, the first input may specifically be: the user inputs the identifier of the target message on the first target image area in a long-press manner, and the first input may specifically be: after clicking the identifier of the target message on the first target image area, the user inputs the click on the identifier "mask layer" displayed on the left area of the identifier of the target message.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the target mask may be a lower-transparency image mask, which is used to cover N image areas displayed on the bottom background image, so as to avoid confusion between the content displayed on the image mask and the content displayed on the N image areas, and specifically, the target mask may be an opaque white image mask.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the target mask includes at least one mask area, where the at least one mask area may be at least one opaque white image mask area, and the at least one mask area corresponds to at least one contact participating in the first session one to one.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the at least one cover area automatically establishes an association with the contact identifier in the first session, and displays the contact identifier of the associated contact on the cover area.

Step 201, after a first target contact in at least one contact completes an operation associated with a target operation item, the electronic device updates a display state of a target cover area corresponding to the first target contact.

It may be appreciated that, when one contact in the first session completes the operation associated with the target operation item, the display state of the overlay area associated with the one contact may be updated from the first display state to the second display state, where the first display state and the second display state are different, so as to facilitate distinguishing which contacts complete the operation associated with the target operation item.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the first display state and the second display state may be any one of the following: the base color of the mask area is white, the base color of the mask area is color, the mask area is in flickering display, etc.

For example, as shown in fig. 11 (a), assuming that the first session is group chat 1, the contacts participating in the group chat 1 have 4 people, and the session interface of the group chat 1 includes a group advertisement message 11 (i.e. a target message) set as a group to be handled, after the user establishes association between the group advertisement message 11 and "block 2" (i.e. the first target image area), after clicking "block 2", selecting the identifier 12 "mask" to enter the mask page 13, as shown in fig. 11 (b), the mask page 13 is a white image mask established on the chat background image, where the white image mask includes N mask areas 14, and the head images of the 4 contacts in the group chat 1 are respectively displayed on the 4 mask areas in the N mask areas 14. As shown in fig. 11 (c), after the contacts a and B in the group chat 1 complete the group advertisement, the ground color of the cover area 15 associated with the contact a and the cover area 16 associated with the contact B changes from white to color (in fig. 11 (c), the color is denoted by gray), so that it is possible to quickly know which contacts have completed the group advertisement to be done according to the color change.

Therefore, under the condition that the target operation items are associated with the first target image area, when a user wants to check and count the processing condition of the contact person in the first session on the target operation items, the first target image area can be input, the target mask layer is displayed on the background picture, the target mask layer comprises at least one mask layer area associated with the contact person in the first session, and the display states of the mask layer areas associated with the contact person in the different processing states of the target operation items are different, so that the user can quickly know the processing condition of the contact person in the first session on the target operation items, and the convenience of the user for checking and counting the processing condition of the group member on the target operation items by using the electronic equipment is improved.

Of course, for a contact who does not complete the target operation item, the user may also input a background picture to remind the contact to process the target operation item, which is described in detail below.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 12 in conjunction with fig. 10, after step 201 described above, the session management method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following

steps

301 and 302.

Step 301, the electronic device receives a second input of a user.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the second input is used to send the first prompt information to the second target contact.

Further alternatively, in an embodiment of the present application, the second input includes, but is not limited to: the touch input of the user to the target control on the background picture through the touch device such as a finger or a stylus, or the specific gesture input by the user, or other feasibility inputs can be specifically determined according to the actual use requirement, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

For example, the second input may specifically be: and the user inputs clicking on a target control 'one-click-to-Do' on the background picture.

Step 302, the electronic device responds to the second input and sends first prompt information to a second target contact in the at least one contact.

In this embodiment of the present application, the second target contact is: and the first prompt information is used for prompting the second target contact person to perform the operation related to the target operation item.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may determine the second target contact according to a display form of a cover area associated with the contact in the first session, and send the first prompt information to the second target contact.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the content of the first prompting message may be a content preset by a user or may be a content automatically defaulted for an electronic device, and specifically, the first prompting message may include a prompting character, a contact identifier of a second target contact, and a prompting content, for example: "@ contact A, please complete the group to do as soon as possible.

For example, as shown in connection with fig. 11, a target control "push-to-do" 17 is displayed on the background picture of the first session, assuming that contact C and contact D in the first session do not process the second message. The user can click on the target control "push-to-do" 17, as shown in fig. 13, the electronic device sends a first prompt message 18"@ contact C, @ contact D, please complete the group to-do" as soon as possible on the first session interface, so that the contact C and the contact D can be reminded to view and process the target operation item.

Therefore, the electronic device can directly send the first prompt information to at least one second target contact person which does not complete the operation related to the target operation item according to the input of the user, so that the second target contact person is reminded of processing the target operation item, the user does not need to manually send the prompt information to a plurality of second target contact persons respectively, the efficiency of prompting other contact persons to process the target operation item by the user is improved, and the time is saved.

Of course, in the course of a conversation with other contacts, information related to a certain contact or a certain message may sometimes need to be remarked, and this scenario is specifically described below.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 14 in conjunction with fig. 1, after step 101, the session management method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following

steps

401 and 402.

Step 401, the electronic device receives a third input from a user to a second target image area of the at least one target image area.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the second target image area may be any one of the at least one target image area associated with the second target object.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the third input is used to add annotation information related to the second target object in the second target image area.

Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the third input includes but is not limited to: the touch input of the user to the second target image area through the touch device such as a finger or a stylus pen, or a specific gesture input by the user, or other feasibility inputs, may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

For example, the third input may specifically be: and the user performs long-time pressing on the second target image area, and performs editing input on the popped annotation page.

In response to the third input, the electronic device adds first annotation information relating to the second target object in the second target image area, step 402.

In this embodiment of the present application, the second target object has an association relationship with the second target image area.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the second target object may include at least one of the following: contacts participating in a first session, messages in the first session, operational matters in the first session.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the first annotation information may be information input by the user in an annotation page corresponding to the second target image area, and specifically, the first annotation information may be alert information related to a contact participating in the first session, or may be remark information related to a message in the first session.

For example, as shown in (a) in fig. 15, it is assumed that the first session is group chat 1, and contact a and contact B are included in group chat 1. After the user associates the avatar 19 of contact B with "tile 3" (i.e., the second target image area), the avatar 19 of contact B is displayed on "tile 3". After the user presses "block 3" for a long time, as shown in (B) in fig. 15, the first session interface is overlaid and displayed on the annotation page 20, and the user may edit the reminder information related to the contact B on the annotation page 20, for example: "recall before going off duty in the open to remind contact B of data. After the editing is completed, the user clicks the block 3, and the annotation information of reminding the contact person B to exchange data can be displayed beside the block 3 in the chat background.

Therefore, the user can input the second target image area to add annotation information related to the second target object in the second target image area, so that the convenience of annotating the second target object in the session by using the electronic equipment is improved.

The user can also synchronize annotation information of other contacts together by sharing the background picture under the condition that the background picture is also used by other contacts, so that the online collaboration of a plurality of contacts is facilitated, and the scene is specifically described below.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 16 in conjunction with fig. 1, after step 101, the session management method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following

steps

501 and 502.

Step 501, the electronic device receives a fourth input from a user.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the fourth input is used to send the second message.

Further alternatively, in an embodiment of the present application, the fourth input includes, but is not limited to: the user can specifically determine according to the actual use requirement through the touch input of the finger or the stylus to the background picture, or the specific gesture input by the user, or other feasibility inputs, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

For example, the fourth input may specifically be: and the user presses the background picture for a long time, and clicks the control "sharing" popped up on the background picture.

Step 502, the electronic device sends a second message to a third target contact participating in the first session in response to the fourth input.

In this embodiment of the present application, the second message includes a background picture.

In the embodiment of the application, when the third target contact sets the background picture as the background of the second session interface corresponding to the first session and adds the second annotation information in the background picture of the second session interface, the third target contact displays the associated information of the second annotation information in the background picture of the first session interface.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the third target contact may be any contact other than the user among contacts participating in the first session.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the second session interface may be a session interface of the first session displayed on the electronic device corresponding to the third target contact.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the second annotation information may be a contact associated with a target image area of the third target contact on a background image of the second session interface and participating in the first session, a message in the first session, an operation item in the first session, and so on.

It should be noted that, the "association information of the second annotation information" may be understood as: the information input by the third target contact person in the annotation page corresponding to the target image area on the background picture of the second session interface, specifically, the second annotation information may include: picture information of contact head portraits of contacts participating in a first session, contact name identification information, historical message records of contacts and the like; may further include: time information of message sending, contact information associated with the message, etc.; may further include: the specific content of the operation items, the contacts associated with the operation items, the processing conditions of the operation items, and the like.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, after the second annotation information is added to the background picture of the second session interface by the third target contact, a contact identifier of the third target contact is displayed on a target image area on the background picture of the first session interface.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the application, the second message includes target image area information of N target image areas of the background picture, where the target image area information includes identification information of the target image area, display information of the target image area, information of a target object associated with the target image area, remark information associated with the target image area, and the like.

It can be understood that when the user shares the background picture to the session interface of the first session, the identification information of the N target image areas of the background picture, the display information of the target image areas, the information of the target objects associated with the target image areas, and the remark information associated with the target image areas (for example, the identification information of the names of the target image areas, the display position and the size information of the target image areas, the contact identification information associated with the target image areas, and the remark information saved in the editing of the target image areas) and the like are all uploaded to the network server of the first application, and when the third target contact in the first session receives the second message and sets the background picture as the background picture of the second session interface, the electronic device corresponding to the third target contact is authorized to access and download the target image area information in the network server, and the electronic device corresponding to the third target contact displays N target image areas on the background picture according to the target image area information, wherein the display content of the N target image areas is the same as the display content of the N target areas on the background picture of the electronic device corresponding to the user.

And after the annotation information is added to any one of the N target image areas by the third target contact person, displaying the contact person identification and the added annotation information content of the third target contact person on any one of the N target image areas, and synchronously displaying the contact person identification and the added annotation information content of the third target contact person on the electronic equipment corresponding to the user.

For example, as shown in fig. 17 (a), it is assumed that the first session is group chat 1, and the session interface of group chat 1 displays a second message 21 sent by contact C, where the second message 21 includes a background picture. After the contact a and the contact B press the background pictures for a long time and set the background pictures as the background pictures of the respective session interfaces, as shown in (B) of fig. 17, a message 1 "sent by the contact C is associated with a block 4" in the background pictures to report the current month work plan. And the contact A sends a message 2 of '3 products designed' on the second session interface 22, drags the message 2 to a 'block 2', and displays the contact identification of the contact A and the message content of the message 2 on the 'block 2' after the message 2 is associated with the 'block 2'. As shown in fig. 17 (c), the contact B sends a message 3 "see 10 clients" on the second session interface, drags the message 3 to "block 3", and after the message 3 is associated with "block 3", displays the contact identifier of the contact B and the message content of the message 3 on "block 3". Meanwhile, the contact identification of the contact A and the message content of the message 2, and the contact identification of the contact B and the message content of the message 3 are synchronously displayed on the background picture of the first session interface of the electronic equipment corresponding to the contact C, so that the contact C can conveniently know the monthly work plans of the contact A and the contact B.

Therefore, as the electronic device can send the second message containing the background picture to the contacts participating in the first session according to the input of the user to the background picture, and under the condition that the background picture is set as the background picture of the session interface by the third target contact, the annotation information added by the third target contact in the N target image areas is synchronized together, so that the portability and the efficiency of online collaboration of a plurality of contacts using the electronic device are improved.

The user can also combine annotation information in multiple sessions using the same background picture to facilitate the arrangement of all annotation information, as will be described in more detail below for this scenario.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 18, in a case where the background picture of the third session interface of the second session is the same as the background picture of the first session interface, after step 101 described above, the session management method provided in this embodiment of the present application further includes steps 601 to 602 described below.

In step 601, the electronic device receives a fifth input of the merge control from the user under the condition that the merge control is displayed on the first session interface.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, in a case where the background picture of the first session interface is a target picture, the user may set the target picture as the background picture of the third session interface of the second session, where the target picture may include, but is not limited to, any one of the following: scenery pictures, character pictures, solid background pictures, etc.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, at least one first identifier is displayed in the merging control, where one first identifier indicates a session using the target picture as the background picture.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the first identifier may be a session identifier of a second session using the target picture as the background picture.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the user performs a third target input on the target picture, so that the electronic device may display the merge control on the target picture.

Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the third target input is used to trigger the electronic device to display a merge control on a target picture of the first session interface, where the third target input includes but is not limited to: the touch input of the user to the target picture through the touch device such as a finger or a stylus pen, or a specific gesture input by the user, or other feasibility inputs can be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

For example, the third target input may specifically be: the user inputs a long press on the target picture.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the fifth input may be an input that a user selects a target identifier in at least one first identifier in the merge control.

Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the fifth input includes, but is not limited to: the touch input of the user to the target mark through the touch device such as a finger or a stylus, or a specific gesture input by the user, or other feasibility inputs can be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

For example, the fifth input may specifically be: and the user inputs clicking on the target identifier.

In step 602, the electronic device responds to the fifth input to display association information of a background picture of the third session interface on the background picture of the first session interface.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the background picture of the third session interface is a target picture, and the second session may be a session between the user and any one of the contacts, or may be a group chat session between the user and at least two of the contacts.

It can be understood that the background picture of the third session interface also includes N target image areas, and the N target image areas correspond to the N target image areas on the background picture of the first session interface. The user may associate the target object in the second session and add annotation information in the N target image areas of the third session interface. When the user selects the target mark in the merging control, the associated information on the background picture of the second session indicated by the target mark is converged and displayed on N target image areas of the background picture in the first session interface. The related information on the background picture is related information of the related target objects in the N target image areas of the third session interface and added annotation information.

For example, as shown in (a) and (B) in fig. 19, it is assumed that the first session is a session between contact a and contact B, and the second session is a session between contact a and contact C, wherein the first session and the second session use the same background picture 23. Contact a sent message 1 "what gift you want? After contact B replies to message 2 "wallet", contact a associates message 2 and contact B's contact identification with "block 2". Contact a sent message 3 "what gift you want? After contact C replies with message 4 "wallet", contact A associates message 4 and contact C's contact identification with "Block 3". As shown in fig. 19 (C), in the first session, the contact a presses the background picture 23 for a long time, the background picture 23 displays a merge control 24 "merge", the merge control 24 enumerates the session identifier using the same background picture 23 as the first session, and the contact a clicks the session identifier 25"C", as shown in fig. 19 (d), and then the annotation information of the contact a on the "block 2" of the background picture 23 in the first session and the annotation information on the "block 3" of the background picture in the second session are merged together, that is, the contact identifiers of the message 4 and the contact C are displayed on the "block 3" while the contact identifiers of the message 2 and the contact B are displayed on the "block 2" of the background picture 23 in the first session. Clicking on "block 3" will enumerate the contact identities of both the overlapping message 4 and contact C, so that contact a can conveniently sort out the gifts wanted by contact B and contact C.

Therefore, as at least one first identifier indicating the conversation using the same background picture is displayed on the merging control displayed by the electronic equipment, the electronic equipment can merge related information of the objects related to the target image area on the background picture in the plurality of conversations according to the input of the target identifier in the at least one first identifier by the user, so that the information is convenient for the user to sort, and convenience and efficiency of the user to sort the wanted information in the plurality of conversations by using the electronic equipment are improved.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 20 in conjunction with fig. 1, after step 101, the session management method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following steps 701 to 702.

Step 701, the electronic device receives a sixth input from a user.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the sixth input is used to set the background picture to a desktop background of the electronic device.

Further optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the sixth input includes but is not limited to: the user can specifically determine according to the actual use requirement through the touch input of the finger or the stylus to the background picture, or the specific gesture input by the user, or other feasibility inputs, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

For example, the first input may specifically be: the user makes a double-click input of the background picture.

In step 702, the electronic device sets a background picture of the first session interface as a desktop background in response to the sixth input.

In one example, after the user double-clicks on the background picture, the electronic device automatically sets the background picture as the background picture of the desktop.

In another example, after the user presses the background picture for a long time, a control "set as desktop background" is popped up, the user clicks the control, and the electronic device automatically sets the background picture as the background picture of the desktop.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the user may further select to display the background pictures of the plurality of first sessions as wallpaper loops of the desktop.

For example, as shown in fig. 21, the user takes a background picture of 3 sessions as wallpaper for the electronic device desktop 26. The lower right corner of the electronic device main interface displays a switch logo 27, and the user can slide the desktop 26 up and down to manually switch wallpaper.

In the embodiment of the application, under the condition of information update of the first session, the second prompt information is displayed on the desktop background.

And if the desktop background of the electronic equipment is the background picture of the first session, if a message related to the user is sent by a contact person in the first session, displaying a reminding identifier of the reminding information in a target area of the wall desktop background, and reminding the user to view the message.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the message related to the user may include a message sent by the contact to the user, and may also include a message mentioned about the user or required to be processed by the user in the group chat session.

For example, as shown in fig. 22 (a), assuming that the first session is a session between the user and contact a, the user may set a background picture of the session with contact a (i.e., fig. 1) as wallpaper of the desktop of the mobile phone. As shown in fig. 22 (b), when contact a sends a message, then the avatar identification 29 of contact a is displayed on the desktop background 28 of the handset, and the avatar identification 29 of contact a alerts the user to view the message in a blinking manner.

For another example, as shown in fig. 23 (a), the first session is group chat 1, and the user may set the background picture (i.e. fig. 2) in group chat 1 as the wallpaper of the desktop of the mobile phone. As shown in fig. 23 (b), when a message "@ user is sent in the group chat 1 and power is returned," then the identifier 31"@" is displayed on the desktop background 30 of the mobile phone, and the identifier 31"@" reminds the user to view the message in a flashing manner.

As can be seen from this, if the background picture of the first session is used as the desktop background of the electronic device, and if there is a message related to the user sent by the contact person in the first session, the second prompt message is displayed on the desktop background of the electronic device, so as to remind the user to view the message, so that the user can view the new message in time.

According to the session management method provided by the embodiment of the application, the execution subject can be the session management device.
