In some embodiments, the first chat interface includes a second message, the second message being a message indicating that the user arrived at the first location.

The step S103 may include the steps of:

determining a message processing mode corresponding to the first input;

Determining indication information of each second user based on the distance between the second position and the first position of each second user according to a message processing mode, wherein the indication information is information related to the time when the second user arrives at the first position;

and sending a third message to the second users based on the indication information of each second user, wherein the third message is associated with the second message, and the first message comprises the third message. The second message may be a preset message, may be an initial message generated based on a message template or input by a user, including the first position, may also be a message to be edited in the input box, or may also be a message to be sent in the input box. The second message is used for determining the first message sent to the second user according to the indication information.

The third message includes the first message sent to the second user obtained according to the indication information and the second message, specifically, according to the indication information and the content of the second message, determining the message content or the message sending mode of the third message sent to each second user. For example, the time information in the second message may be complemented according to the instruction information, or the third message sent to each second user may be obtained by replacing the instruction information.

The message processing method corresponding to the first input may be a message processing method determined from a selection of a plurality of message processing methods set in advance according to the first input.

The indication information may include a time of transmitting the third message to the second user or a content of the third message, i.e. the indication information is used to indicate a point of time of transmitting the third message to the second user or a specific message content in the third message, e.g. a time-related content in the message content of the third message. It may be determined at what point in time the third message is sent to the second user based on the indication information, or the specific content of the message in the third message sent to the second user may be determined based on the indication information.

Specifically, after determining the message processing mode, a method corresponding to the message processing mode may be adopted, and the indication information of the second users is determined according to the distance between the second position and the first position of each second user; and further determining the time of sending the third message to the second user or the content of the third message according to the indication information. Therefore, according to the distance between the second position and the first position of each second user, different second messages can be automatically sent to each second user or third messages can be sent to each second user at different time points, so that each second user is guided to reach the first position at different time points, and the mode is more flexible.

In some embodiments, the message handling means comprises a first message handling means, the indication information comprising an estimated time of arrival of the second user at the first location;

the determining, according to the message processing manner, the indication information of the second user based on the distance between the second location and the first location of each second user may include:

calculating estimated time for each second user to reach the first position based on the distance between the second position and the first position of each second user according to the first message processing mode;

based on the indication information of each second user, sending a third message to the second user, including:

generating sub-messages corresponding to the second users based on the estimated time of the second users reaching the first position, wherein the sub-messages comprise the content of the second messages and the estimated time of the second users reaching the first position;

and sending sub-messages corresponding to the second users, wherein the third message comprises a plurality of sub-messages corresponding to a plurality of second users.

The first message processing mode is a message processing mode for sending different message contents to the second users according to different distances, namely, sending third messages comprising different message contents to the second users according to the distances between the second positions and the first positions of the second users.

In this embodiment, the indication information is estimated time for each second user to reach the first position, and the editing of the time content in the second message by the estimated time may obtain the sub-message corresponding to each second user, and the editing of the time content in the second message may be to replace the content of the indication time in the second message.

The content of the sub-message including the second message may be that the sub-message includes the whole content of the second message, or may include part of the content of the second message, for example, the second message is "please arrive at me here in XX time", and the sub-message may be "please arrive at me here at 10 points".

Specifically, in the case that the message processing manner is the first message processing manner, based on the distance between the second position and the first position of each second user, calculating the estimated time for the second user to reach the first position, and then generating sub-messages corresponding to each second user according to the estimated time, that is, determining sub-messages sent to each second user according to the estimated time, so that each second user can reach the first position under the guidance of the estimated time in the sub-messages after receiving the sub-messages.

In one example, as shown in fig. 3a, a message processing manner of "send together message" is selected in the first chat interface, and the user selects a contact requiring to send a message, i.e. the second user, in the group chat; according to the second message edited in advance by the user, namely the second message shown in fig. 3a is 'please arrive at me at XX time', the 'XX time' in the second message is replaced by the estimated time corresponding to each second user, and the sub-message corresponding to each second user is obtained; then the sub-message is sent to each second user, and can be sent through private chat; and displaying sub-messages corresponding to the second users in the group chat interface of each second user through group chat transmission, wherein the time content in the sub-messages is estimated time automatically calculated according to the distances between different second users and the first user position.

Suppose user a is 1km from the first user and user B is 2km from the first user. 1km walking is assumed to take 10 minutes, with a current time of 10:00; pre-editing a first message as follows: "please arrive me here in XX time", user a expects that 10:10 is fastest to arrive at the first user location, and user B expects 10:10 is fastest to arrive at the first user location, so that sub-messages corresponding to the second users are determined according to estimated time of arrival of the second users, namely user a and user B, at the first user location, and the sub-messages are sent to the second users respectively. As shown in fig. 3B, the content of the sub-message received by the user a is "please 10 to me here", and the content of the target sub-message received by the user B is "please 10 to me here", so that each second user can reach the first position at the estimated time under the guidance of the estimated time in the sub-message after receiving the sub-message.

In some embodiments, the message handling means comprises a second message handling means, the indication information comprising transmission order information;

the sending a third message to the second user based on the indication information of each second user includes:

and sequentially sending second messages to a plurality of second users based on the sending sequence information, wherein the third message is the second message.

In this embodiment, the third message is identical to the second message, except that the time sequence in which the messages are sent to the respective second users is different.

Optionally, the indication information is transmission sequence information, where the transmission sequence information may include transmission time and a corresponding second user, and may also include the second user in the first sequence and a time interval.

The second message processing mode is that messages are sequentially sent to the second users according to the interval and the sequence, namely, the sending sequence corresponding to each second user is determined according to the interval between the second position and the first position of each second user, and the second messages are sequentially sent to each second user according to the sequence.

The instruction information in the present embodiment may be transmission order information corresponding to each second user, that is, an order in which the second messages are transmitted to the plurality of second users.

Specifically, when the message processing mode is determined to be the second message processing mode, determining transmission sequence information corresponding to each second user based on the distance between the second position and the first position of each second user; and then sequentially sending the second messages edited in advance to each second user based on the determined sequence.

Here, the transmission order information is determined based on the distance between the second location and the first location of each second user, which may be set according to the user's needs, and if the user needs each second user to reach the first location based on a closer time point, the first message may be transmitted to the second user far from the first location first; if the user needs the second user to arrive at the first position successively at a certain interval, the second message is sent to the second user close to the first user, and the message is sent to the other second user after a certain interval.

In this embodiment, the order of sending the messages to the second users may be determined according to the distance between the second location and the first location of each second user, so that the second users receive the second messages at different time points, and each second user takes action at different time points for the first location in the second messages, and further guides each second user to reach the first location at different time points.

In some embodiments, before sequentially sending the second messages to the plurality of second users based on the sending order information, the method may further include:

determining message transmission time associated with each second user based on the distance between the second location and the first location of each second user, the transmission order information including the message transmission time associated with each second user;

The sequentially sending the second message to the plurality of second users based on the sending order information may include:

and transmitting the second message to each second user at a message transmission time associated with each second user.

Wherein the message sending time may comprise a specific point in time of sending the first message to each second user.

Specifically, first, according to the distance between the second location and the first location, the specific message sending time for sending the second message to each second user may be determined, that is, the time for sending the second message to each second user corresponds to the distance between the second user and the first location, and the message sending time corresponding to the second user at different locations is different.

In some embodiments, the determining the message sending time associated with each second user based on the distance between the second location and the first location of each second user may include the following steps:

and generating message sending time corresponding to each second user based on the size of the distance between the second position and the first position of each second user.

For example, suppose user a is the second closest to the first location, user B is the second closest to the first location, and user C is the third closest to the first location; the first message is sent to the user a at the time T, the first message is sent to the user B at the time t+t, and the first message is sent to the user C at the time t+2t, so that the user a, the user B and the user C can reach the first location at different time points respectively. That is, the first message is sent to the second user who is close to the first user, and the first message is sent to the second user who is far away from the first user.

In another example, assume that user a is the second closest user to the first location, user B is the second closest user to the first location, and user C is the third closest user to the first location; then the first message is sent to user C at time T; transmitting a first message to a user B at the time T+t; and sending the first message to the user A at the time T+2t, so that the first message can be sent to a second user farther away, and the first message can be sent to a second user closer to the second user, and the time when the user A, the user B and the user C reach the first position can be shortened. That is, the first message is sent to the second user far away, and the first message is sent to the second user near away.

calculating estimated time length of the second user reaching the first position based on the distance between the second position and the first position of each second user;

and generating message sending time corresponding to each second user based on the estimated time length of each second user reaching the first position.

Specifically, the message sending time corresponding to each second user may be determined according to the estimated time length required for each second user to reach the first location.

For example, suppose user A is 1km from the first user and user B is 2km from the first user. 1km walking is assumed to take 10 minutes, with a current time of 10:00; the estimated time period for the user a to reach the first location is 10 minutes, the estimated time period for the user B to reach the first location is 20 minutes, and when the message sending time corresponding to the user a is determined to be 10:10, the message sending time corresponding to the user B is determined to be 10:20.

In some embodiments, before sequentially transmitting the second message to the plurality of second users based on the transmission order information, the method may further include:

determining the second users with the corresponding intervals meeting the preset conditions as first target users in the second users based on the intervals between the second positions and the first positions of the second users;

Calculating a transmission time interval between the first target user and each second target user based on the distance between the second position and the first position of each second user, wherein the second target user is any user except the first target user among the plurality of second users, and the transmission sequence information comprises the transmission time interval corresponding to each second target user;

sequentially transmitting the second message to the plurality of second users based on the transmission order information may include:

sending a second message to the first target user at the target time point;

and sending a second message to the second target user under the condition that the time interval from the target time point is matched with the sending time interval corresponding to the second target user.

Optionally, the second user whose corresponding distance satisfies the preset condition may be the second user closest to the first position, or the second user farthest from the first position. I.e. the second user closest to the first location or furthest from the first location, is determined as the first target user.

After the first target user is determined, the second message may be sent directly to the first target user, or the target time point of sending the second message to the first target user may be set by the first user. The target point in time is the point in time when the second message is sent to the first target user.

In this embodiment, the order in which the messages are sent to the second users may also be determined by calculating the time interval in which the messages are sent between the second users. Specifically, based on the distance between the second position and the first position of each second user, a first target user meeting preset conditions is determined, based on a target time point of sending a first message to the first target user, the time intervals of sending messages between other second users and the first target user are calculated, so that the time intervals of sending messages between each second user can be determined, and further, the second messages are sequentially sent to each second user according to the target time point and the sending time intervals of the messages between each second user. The time point of sending the second message to each second user can be flexibly adjusted according to the distance between each second user and the first position, and each second user is guided to arrive at the first position at different time points.

In some embodiments, the calculating the transmission time interval between the first target user and each second target user based on the distance between the second location and the first location of each second user may include:

calculating a distance difference value between a first distance and each second distance, wherein the first distance is the distance between the second position of the first target user and the first position, and the second distance is the distance between the second position of the second target user and the first position;

Calculating a time difference value between the second target user and the second target user reaching the first position according to the distance difference value;

and determining a transmission time interval corresponding to each second target user according to the time difference value.

Alternatively, calculating the time difference between the first target user and the second target user to reach the first location may be determined by the distance difference between the first target user and the second target user and the speed of movement of the second user. Specifically, the time length of each second user reaching the first position can be obtained according to the distance from the second position of the second user to the first position and the moving speed of the second user; therefore, the time difference value between the first target user and the second target user reaching the first position can be obtained according to the time length of the first target user reaching the first position and the time length of the second target user reaching the first position.

Alternatively, the moving speed of the second user may be determined according to a moving manner of the second user. The moving means, i.e. the means by which the user performs a position change or migration in space, may include walking and using vehicles such as bicycles, automobiles, buses, etc.

The mobile mode of the second user may be provided by the second user, that is, a request message is sent to the second user, and the mobile mode of the second user is determined according to information returned by the second user.

In one example, the request information may be sent to the second user, and after receiving the request information, the terminal device associated with the second user displays an input interface as shown in fig. 4, prompts the second user to input the riding vehicle, and determines the movement mode of the second user through the vehicle information input by the second user at the input interface.

In some embodiments, the message processing means includes a third message processing means, and the indication information includes information about whether a distance between the second location and the first location of the second user is within a preset range;

the sending the third message to the second user based on the indication information of each second user may include:

and sending a second message to a fourth target user when the distance between the second position and the first position of the third target user is in a preset range, wherein the third target user and the fourth target user are users in a plurality of second users, and the fourth target user is the user closest to the first position in the second users which do not receive the third message.

And the third message processing mode is that each time the second position of one second user moves to be within a preset range from the first position, the second message is sent to the second user closest to the first position in the second users which do not send the second message, until each second user is sent the second message.

In this embodiment, the third message is consistent with the content of the second message.

The indication information here includes information whether the distance between the second position and the first position of the second user is within a preset range, that is, the change condition of the distance between the second position and the first position of each second user can be determined through the indication information.

Specifically, when the message processing mode is determined to be the third message processing mode, firstly, determining whether the distance between the second position and the first position of each second user is in a preset range or not based on the distance between the second position and the first position of each second user; and when the distance between the second position of the second user (namely, the third target user) and the first position is in the preset range, sending the second message to the second user closest to the first position (namely, the fourth target user) among the second users which have not sent the second message. Therefore, every time one second user reaches the preset range according to the position change condition of each second user, the second message is sent to the second user which does not send the message and is nearest to the first position, and the second message is sent to each second user until the second message is sent to each second user, so that the second messages can be sent to each second user in sequence according to the change condition of the second position of each second user.

In one example, assuming that the preset range is a range of 0.5km from the first location, the second user includes a user a (currently 0.3km from the first location), a user B (currently 1km from the first location), and a user C (currently 2km from the first location), first, a second message is sent to the user a (or any one of the second users), the position of the current user a is within the preset range, then a user B closest to the first location is determined from the user B and the user C, the second message is sent to the user B, the user B starts to move to the first location after receiving the second message, and the user C stays in place or moves by itself after not receiving the second message; when the position of the user B moves to be within the preset range, a second message is sent to the user C; and each time a second user is within a preset range from the first position, sending the second message to the user closest to the first position among the second users which do not send the second message, and sequentially sending the second message to each second user to guide each second user to reach the first position at different time points.

In this embodiment, each time the position of one second user moves within the preset range, the second message is sent to the second user with the nearest position in the second users who have not sent messages currently, so when the position of the third target user moves within the preset range, only the second user (fourth target user) which is nearest to and has not sent messages needs to be determined, and the second message is sent to the user; the fourth target user moves to the first position when receiving the second message, and the second message is continuously sent to the next second user when the fourth target user moves to the preset range. And sending a second message to each second user at different time points through the distance between each second user and the first position so as to guide each second user to reach the first position at different time points.

In some embodiments, S103 may include:

and sending a first message associated with the first position to the fifth target user when the distance between the second position and the first position of the fifth target user is smaller than or equal to the first preset distance, wherein the fifth target user is one of a plurality of second users.

Wherein the first message comprises a message event associated with the first location, such as sending the first message comprising "process a task at the first location" content to the second user if the second user is less than or equal to a first preset distance from the first location.

Specifically, in this embodiment, when the distance between any second user and the first position is less than or equal to the first preset distance, the first message associated with the first position may be sent to the second user. When the distance between the second position of the second user and the first position is smaller than or equal to a first preset distance, a first message is automatically sent to the second user, so that the time point of sending the first message to the second user can be determined according to the change condition of the distance between the second position of each second user and the first position.

In some embodiments, before the step S103, the method may further include:

displaying a map interface, wherein the map interface comprises user identifications of a plurality of second users, and the display position of the user identification of each second user is associated with the second position of the second user;

in response to a second input by a first user at a first location in the map interface, a first message corresponding to the second input is generated.

Specifically, a map interface may also be displayed, and according to the second position of each second user, the user identifier of each second user may be displayed on the map, and according to the second input of the first user, the first position may be determined in the map interface, and according to the input content of the second input, a first message associated with the first position may be generated.

In this embodiment, the first message associated with the first location may be generated from a second input of the first location by the user in the map interface.

In one example, as shown in fig. 5a, an option of "map send message" based messaging mode may be selected on the first chat interface, a map interface as shown in fig. 5b may be displayed, on which a plurality of user identifications of the second users, i.e., contacts A, B, C in fig. 5b, are displayed, and the display location of the user identifications of the respective second users is associated with the second location of the second users.

In one example, as shown in fig. 6a, the first user may select to determine a first location associated with the first user in the map interface, for example, double-click a certain location on the map, then display an input box at the first location, and may input a first message in the input box to obtain the first message associated with the first location (e.g., "i am storing several XX materials in this place, score 10 points first", as exemplified in fig. 6 a), when the second location of the second user moves to a distance from the first location which is less than or equal to a second preset distance, the first message is automatically sent to the second user, for example, when the user B reaches a position which is less than or equal to the first preset distance from the first location, the first message is sent to the user B, the display interface shown in fig. 6B is displayed on the terminal device associated with the user B, and the content of the first message is displayed in the display interface.

In some embodiments, after displaying the map interface, the method may further include:

receiving third input of a user identification of a sixth target user and a user identification of a seventh target user in the map interface, wherein the sixth target user and the seventh target user are users in a plurality of second users;

In response to the third input, a second location of the sixth target user is sent to the seventh target user.

Specifically, the position information of the sixth target user can be directly sent to the seventh target user through the third input of the sixth target user and the seventh target user on the map interface, so that the position of the sixth target user can be rapidly shared to the seventh target user.

In one example, as shown in fig. 7a, a user may drag a contact a (i.e., a sixth target user) avatar at a certain location onto a contact B (i.e., a seventh target user) avatar at another location, then send the location of contact a to another contact B, and a corresponding message interface is displayed on a terminal device associated with contact B, where the location information of contact a is displayed, as shown in fig. 7B.

In some embodiments, after displaying the map interface, the method further includes:

receiving a fourth input to a third location in the map interface;

and in response to the fourth input, creating a target group chat in the case that the distance between the second position and the third position of the at least one second user is smaller than or equal to a second preset distance, wherein the users of the target group chat comprise the at least one second user.

Specifically, a third position may be further determined in the map interface, and when a distance between the second position and the third position of the second user is smaller than or equal to a second preset distance, a group chat is established, where the group chat includes a second user whose distance between the second position and the third position is smaller than or equal to the second preset distance. Therefore, the second users in the preset range of the third position can be automatically pulled into the group chat according to the third position and the position information of each second user.

Alternatively, the second user may be moved out of the group chat if the second user leaves the third location within a second preset distance.

In one example, as shown in fig. 8a, a user may group a plurality of second users (such as contacts C, D, E, F in the figure) within a third location preset range, where the chat interface of the group chat is as shown in fig. 8b, when other second users also reach the third location preset range, the second users are automatically added into the group chat, when the second users leave the third location preset range, the group chat is exited, and when all the second users leave the third location preset range, the group chat is automatically broken up.

Receiving a fifth input of a user identification of an eighth target user in the map interface;

in response to the fifth input, displaying a message input window, the eighth target user being a user of the plurality of second users;

acquiring a fourth message input in the message input window;

and sending the fourth message to the eighth target user.

In this embodiment, the user may directly perform the fifth input on the user identifier of the second user displayed on the map interface, and may input the fourth message in the message input window corresponding to the user identifier through the fifth input, and if the input is completed, directly send the fourth message to the second user corresponding to the user identifier. Therefore, the chat interface does not need to be opened again to carry out chat input with the second user, and the operation is convenient and quick.

In one example, the contact shown in fig. 9, i.e., the second user, may send a message directly to the contact at the designated location through the map interface, as follows:

the first user may double-click a user identifier (e.g., contact C illustrated in fig. 9) corresponding to the second user on the map interface, display a chat information input box associated with the second user, and the first user may directly input information in the chat information input box, and directly send an input message to the second user after the input is completed, without returning to the chat window to edit the message, so that the message may be conveniently and quickly sent to the second user when the map interface is displayed.
