Description

 Message prompting and processing method, device and client  

This application belongs to the field of information processing, and in particular, to a method, device and user terminal for message prompting and processing.

With the rapid development of Internet and communication technologies, more and more people are accustomed to receiving information through terminal devices for information interaction. For example, instant messaging, dating, shopping and other applications installed on mobile communication terminals have become an important means of information exchange because they can receive and view messages quickly and conveniently.

Apps in the mobile terminal (APP, Application) often receive various messages from friends or merchants. When receiving a new message that the user has not yet viewed, the terminal application usually sets a corresponding message prompt. At present, the existing terminal APP often prompts to receive a new message by including a small red dot or pushing in the terminal message center. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of message prompting of the small red dot message prompting method taken in the prior art. As shown in FIG. 1 , the small red dot message prompting method mainly adopts a red number in the upper right corner of the APP icon to display the sum of the unread new messages received by the APP. Or display the number of new messages received by the corresponding sub-function module on the sub-function navigation icon of the APP level one navigation interface. The manner of pushing the message center mainly includes displaying a new message of all APPs in the form of a list in the drop-down status column of the terminal. If you need to view the specific message content, you can click the corresponding message in the list to enter the APP.

With the continuous development of terminal applications, product competition, and the increase of terminal application business functions, the amount of information users receive through terminals is now growing. The above-mentioned prior art message prompting method mixes a plurality of message prompts together, which makes it difficult for the user to distinguish the information that is truly important to the user. For example, as shown in FIG. 1 , for the small red dot message prompt mode, the APP icon displays the sum of all unprocessed new messages, or displays the sum of new messages in the secondary sub-function interface in the primary navigation interface. Users often need to open an app or a level of navigation to view the content of the message one by one. If the new message shown is not viewed, generally the APP icon or the first level navigation still displays a small red dot, prompting the user to have a new unread message. In this way, it is difficult for the user to distinguish or locate the source of the small red dot, and it is impossible to determine whether or not the message of the important content of the user is included.

The method of the new message prompting in the prior art generally makes it difficult for the user to distinguish the importance of the message, increases the user's non-important message viewing step, and reduces the user experience.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are clearly and completely described in the following, in order to better understand the technical solutions in the present application. The described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without departing from the inventive scope should fall within the scope of the present application.

The basic data processing method described in the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. 2 is a flow chart of a method for an embodiment of a message prompting method according to the present application. Although the present application provides method operational steps as illustrated in the following embodiments or figures, more or fewer operational steps may be included in the method based on routine or no inventive labor. In the step of logically having no necessary causal relationship, the order of execution of the steps is not limited to the execution order provided by the embodiment of the present application. When the actual device or terminal product is executed, the method may be executed sequentially or concurrently according to the method shown in the embodiment or the drawing (for example, an environment of parallel processor or multi-thread processing).

Specifically, an implementation of a message prompting method provided by the present application is as shown in FIG. 2, and the method may include:

S1: Get the source identifier of the message source set as the important message prompt.

In most application scenarios, the user can set the source of the message that needs to be highlighted as the source of the important message prompt in the terminal application. A specific application scenario is shown in FIG. 3. When the message prompting method in this embodiment is implemented, an option or switch for setting "use XX as an important message prompt" may be added to the layer of any pushable message of the mobile communication terminal. In this way, the user can select the source of the important message prompt that needs special reminder in the interface with the important message prompt. In the present application, the source of the message set as the important message prompt may generally include the source identifier of the message source, and may be used to identify whether the received message belongs to a message source set as an important message prompt.

Generally, when a terminal application receives a new message or pushes a message, it usually has a preset message prompting method. It should be noted that the important message prompts in the present application may include a message prompting manner different from the conventional one desired by the user, and may promptly and promptly prompt the user to receive a message that the user needs to be highlighted in the message prompting interface. In order to achieve the purpose of distinguishing the importance of the message from the message prompt.

The source of the information in the application may include a terminal application that can perform message prompting in a plurality of application scenarios, a function application of a certain level in the terminal application, a specific message, and the like. The message source described in the present application may include at least one of the following: a specified terminal application; a sub-function application of a specified level in the terminal application; and a message containing the specified information.

The specific implementation of the described message source will be described below. In an embodiment of the message source provided by the application, the message source may include a specified terminal application. For example, different applications (APPs) such as communication, social, financial, and game on different device terminals such as PC terminals, mobile communication terminals, and servers. The information source described in an application scenario may include, for example, a short message prompt on the mobile communication terminal, or an installed email APP, an instant messaging APP, a wealth management APP, and the like.

As previously mentioned, the source of information can typically include a source identifier that can be used to uniquely identify the source of the message. In this embodiment, a plurality of terminal applications installed on the mobile communication terminal, such as a mailbox application, an address book, a shopping or a payment application, may be used as a message source for the message prompt. In an application scenario of the embodiment, the application name registered in the mobile communication terminal may be used as the source identifier of the message source, for example, the email application, the address book, the shopping application, the payment application, and the like may be used. The application names Email_A, Contact_B, Buy-Inline_C, and Pay_D registered by the mobile communication terminal are used as the source identifiers of the message sources described in this application.

In another embodiment of the message source of the present application, the message source may include a sub-function application of a specified level in the terminal application. Generally, the terminal application may include a multi-level interface, for example, a payment application defaults to a first-level navigation interface A of the homepage, and the first-level navigation interface may include multiple sub-function applications, such as a credit card A1, an order A2, a living contribution A3, and the like. Each of the sub-function applications can implement the corresponding functions. The sub-function application of the navigation interface A may also include a navigation interface B of the next level. For example, the user clicks on the credit card A1 sub-function application to enter the next-level navigation interface B. The navigation interface B may include sub-function applications of the navigation level, such as a Chinese bank credit card B1, a merchant credit card B2, and the like. Of course, the terminal application may include a multi-level navigation interface and corresponding sub-function applications.

Correspondingly, the source identifier described in this embodiment may include an identifier of the sub-function application in the specified level, for example, the function navigation identifier Card_B2 set by the merchant credit card B2 in the payment application may be used as the source of the information. The source identifier of the credit card B2. Certainly, the source identifier may also use other identifier information that can identify the application of the sub-function, and may be set according to the application scenario or design requirement of the message prompt, which is not in other embodiments of the present application. It is limited to the identification information of the function application set in the terminal application.

The message source in the message prompting method of the application may be a sub-function application in a specified level in the terminal application, and the user may set a message source that wants to view or need a key reminder, and does not limit the information level of the message prompt. To make the message prompts more free and flexible, and it is convenient for users to operate and meet user needs.

In another embodiment of the message prompting method described in the present application, the message source may include a message including the specified information. In some application scenarios, such as emails and newsletters, the user can highlight the message including the specified information content in the message prompt interface. The specified information may generally include information content that is set by the user and that may be different from the regular reminder mode when the designated information is desired to be received. For example, the mailbox address of the designated contact person may be set to the specified information, so that the mail including the designated contact person in the application for sending and receiving mail may be the source of the message. Of course, the specified information in the mail source can be used as the source identifier, such as the email address of the designated contact.

In this embodiment, the source identifier of the message source of the important message prompt set by the user in the terminal device can be obtained. The message source may be distinguished by the APP unit, or may be set to a deeper level of the message prompt source of the APP. Users can set different information level information sources that need important information prompts according to their needs. They do not limit the information level of message prompts, making message prompts more free and flexible, and can be convenient for users to operate and meet user needs. In this embodiment, the corresponding identifier of the message source can be obtained. Certainly, in the specific implementation process, after acquiring the source identifier, the source identifier may be stored in the terminal storage unit.

S2: When receiving a new message, query whether there is a source identifier matching the identifier of the new message.

When a new message is received, the new message can be parsed to obtain the identifier of the new message. The identifier of the new message may include identification information that may be used to mark a message source such as an application or a function module to which the new message belongs. At this time, the identifier of the new message can be compared with the stored source identifier to query whether there is a source identifier matching the identifier of the new message. The specific matching query process of the identifier of the new message and the source identifier may include determining that the identifier of the new message is the same as the source identifier of the source of the message prompted by the highlight message. If the identifier of the new message is the same as the preset source identifier, the result of the query may be the source identifier that matches the identifier of the new message.

The matching of the identifier of the new message described in the present application with the source identifier is not limited to the case where the identifier is directly compared with the source identifier. In some other embodiments, the identifier of the new message may also be converted or transformed by a certain format or a predetermined correspondence to match the source identifier. Therefore, in another embodiment of the present application, whether the query has the source identifier matching the identifier of the new message may include: querying whether the new message is related to the new message based on the preset source identifier correspondence relationship The identifier of the source matches the identifier of the source.

Table 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the correspondence between the source identifiers in the message prompting manner in this embodiment. For a specific application scenario, as shown in Table 1, an identifier of a plurality of applications or a plurality of keywords may be set to correspond to the same source identifier. In Table 1, the contact attribute information can be set to match attribute information matching the source identifier. The user can set an important contact in the address book as a source of information that requires an important message prompt. When receiving all the short messages about the contact, he or she wants to use a different reminder than the regular reminder in the message prompt interface. Take the contact's information. At this point, the contact name of the important contact person can be used as the source identifier of the message message application source. If the subsequent user adds the attribute information of the contact person's email address to the contact, when the new mail is received, the identifier of the mail and the identifier of the mail may be based on the correspondence of the source identifiers shown in Table 1. The matching attribute information matches. Specifically, the mailing address of the new mail can be matched with the email address of the contact in the address book. If the mailing address of the new mail is the same as the email address of the important contact set by the user, then the identifier of the new mail can be considered as matching with the query result that the source identifier is the contact name.

In the application scenario of the foregoing embodiment, although the name of a certain contact person set by the user is the source of the message, the new message of the important contact person in the message reminder has been reached as an important message prompt. With the implementation of the embodiment, when the set of other attribute information about the important contact, such as an email or other new information such as an instant messaging tool, is received, the identification can be effectively distinguished, and the efficiency of the important message prompt can be effectively improved. To improve the user experience.

When a new message is received, the query is queried for the source identifier that matches the identifier of the new message. If there is a source identifier that matches the identifier of the new message, the result of the query may be the source identifier that matches the identifier of the new message.

S3: When the result of the query is yes, the prompt information of the new message is displayed in the specified message prompting area by using the second message prompting method different from the first message prompting manner.

The terminal application can display the prompt information of receiving the new message in the preset message prompt area according to the state of the terminal device (such as the lock screen or in use) or the state of the terminal application when receiving the new message. Generally, in the terminal mail, instant messaging, shopping, social and other applications, a corresponding new message prompting method can be set. Generally, the terminal application can set a preset message prompting manner, and when the terminal application receives the new message, the preset message prompting manner can be used to prompt the user to have a new message. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, when the instant messaging APP receives a new message, the number of new messages received but not yet viewed may be displayed in the upper right corner of the desktop icon of the instant messaging APP. In the message prompting method provided by the present application, the prompting manner of the new message preset by the terminal application may be used as an implementation manner of the first message prompting manner described in the present application. The first message prompting method described in the present application usually does not clearly distinguish the important information in the message, and performs a message prompting method different from the regular message prompt.

As mentioned earlier, when a new message is received, the identifier matching the new message can be parsed. If the matching result of the received new message identifier and the source identifier is the source identifier matching the identifier of the new message, the preset difference may be adopted in the specified message prompt area. The second message prompting method of the first message prompting manner displays the prompt information of the new message.

The specified message prompt area described in this embodiment may include a preset interface for displaying message prompt information, a graphic or a function module area, and the like. Specifically, for example, a desktop application icon, or a pull-down interface of all new message summary checklists preset by the terminal, or an icon of a sub-function module in the first-level interface navigation as shown in FIG. In some application scenarios where a message is prompted, a new message is prompted to be prompted in multiple information prompt interfaces. For example, a new message prompt may be displayed in the icon display of the sub-function module, and the prompt information of the new message may also be displayed in the desktop application icon, and the message list interface in the pull-down function table or the lock screen state may also have the new message. Message information. Therefore, in another implementation manner of the message prompting method of the present application, the specified message prompting area may include: at least one display receiving the information prompting interface including the new message.

In this way, when a new message of the message source is received, the message prompt of the message can be triggered in multiple or even all message prompt areas containing the new message. Therefore, in this embodiment, a new message set as a message source can be prompted in the message prompt interface of the multi-level level, and the prompt effect of the important message is added.

The second message prompting method described in the present application may generally include a message prompting method different from the first message prompting method set in advance for the important message prompting, and the user prompting the user to identify the new message conveniently and effectively in the message prompting interface. Whether to include important information. In a preferred embodiment of the message prompting method in the present application, the second message prompting manner may include: adding a preset animation prompt effect in the specified message prompting area.

For example, the icon jumps, zooms in, blinks, and the like. It should be noted that the added animation prompt message described in the second message prompting manner in this embodiment may be understood as: when the new message set as the message source is not received, the first message prompting manner may be The animation prompt effect is not included, for example, it may be only the prompt of the total number of messages in the upper right corner of the figure, or the first message prompting method does not include the animation prompt effect in the second message prompting manner.

In the specific implementation process, the animation prompt effect added in the second message prompting manner may include: the icon of the message source to which the new message belongs is at least one of the following animation effects as the prompt information of the new message: according to the reservation The rotation effect of the direction rotation; the swing effect according to the predetermined angle rotation; the up and down jump effect; the left and right shake effect; the breathing effect of the predetermined transparency change rule; the zoom effect of the predetermined size change rule is executed.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of an animation effect added in the second message prompting method described in the present application. As shown in FIG. 4, when the user sets the message source switch of the C1 short message of an important contact person to be turned on, when the short message of the contact person C1 is not received, the upper right corner of the terminal desktop interface message icon can be normally displayed and received. The number of unread new newsletters is 8. When the short message of the contact person C1 is determined by using the embodiment of the present application, the terminal desktop interface message icon may adopt an animation effect of adding a message prompt, such as one or more animation effects described in the above embodiment or in FIG. The combination. In this way, adding an animation prompt effect to the second message prompting method to distinguish the received important message prompts can effectively make the user recognize the importance of the message and improve the user's operation experience.

Of course, the application is not limited to the animated message prompts shown in the contact person or the short message, and in other application scenarios, such as a mail application, a live chat message, or an icon of a neutron function module of the first-level navigation interface in the application. Etc., you can use the message prompt method described in this application to achieve important message difference prompts. In a specific implementation process, a function switch set as a message source may be added to a sub-function module of a certain application level or a certain application level of the terminal application. The animated cue effect described above has a good suggestiveness, interactivity, and a certain entertainment effect for some users. Moreover, the animation prompt effect has little influence on the current operation of the user, and does not cause a prompt such as a sound or a vibration to cause the user to turn off the prompt, which can greatly improve the user operation experience.

Further, after the user views the new message, the user may stop displaying the prompt information of the second message prompting manner. For example, after the user views the important contact person's short message in the application scenario of the above embodiment, the animation prompt effect of the terminal desktop message icon can be turned off. The important message prompts set in the present application can usually require the user to view and confirm, and can be limited by the timeliness of the information set by the application or other function modules. FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of a method for another embodiment of a message prompting manner according to the present application. As shown in FIG. 5, in the message prompting method of the present application, the method may further include: prompting to close the second message prompting manner in the specified message prompting area based on the received confirmation message that the new message is read. News.

Certainly, in some other embodiments, the confirmation message that the new message is read may include a confirmation message that the user-triggered message is read, such as a prompt option of “set the message as read”, and Restricted to include the process by which the user actually performed the viewing of the new message.

The message prompting method provided by the present application, including the above embodiment, can set a message source of important message prompts in the terminal application or the system. When it is judged that the message source is received, a second message prompting method different from the conventional first message prompting manner may be used, for example, adding a message prompting animation such as rotation and jumping. In this way, the new message received as the message source can be effectively distinguished, and the user can effectively distinguish the importance of the message from the message prompt, which can save the viewing process of the non-important message and improve the user experience. Meet user message prompts.

To solve the defect of the message prompt in the prior art described in the present application, the present application further provides a method for processing a sent message. In another application scenario, when the sender of the terminal application or the system sends a message, the sent message can be set to a message requiring an important message prompt. The specific implementation process may, for example, add a control item or a function option for setting an important message as an important message prompt at a place where the message is sent. Then, when the message receiving party receives the setting as the important message prompt message, the important message can be identified, and then the second message prompting method different from the first message prompting manner can be used to display the prompt information of the important message. When the message recipient displays the prompt information, the purpose of distinguishing the information including the important message can be distinguished. Specifically, the method for processing a sending message provided by the present application may include: S11: acquiring a sending message marked as an important message; and S22: setting, in the sending message, a second message different from the first message prompting manner by the receiving party. Prompt mode The identification information of the message prompt.

The send message marked as an important message can then be sent.

Correspondingly, when the message receiving party performs the message prompting process on the received new message, the method may include: S33: parsing the received new message, and determining whether the new message includes the second message prompting manner different from the first message prompting manner. The identification information of the message prompt; S44: When the identifier information is included in the new message, the prompt information of the new message is displayed in the second message prompting manner different from the first message prompting manner in the specified message prompting area.

FIG. 6 is a schematic flow chart of an embodiment of a method for processing a message and a message prompting method according to the present application. In the application scenario described in this embodiment, the sender of the message may set the identifier information indicating that the message is an important message in the sent message, and the message receiver may identify the important message in the new message based on the set identifier information. Further, the message receiving party may add a preset animation prompt effect prompting to receive the important message in the prompt area.

The identification information may include a set keyword or an identification information that can be used to mark the message as an important message by using an application design and design language. In a specific implementation manner, for example, a long press of a pop-up in an area for editing a message may prompt the user whether to set the current message as an important message. When the user chooses to set the current message as an important message, a specific string Key may be added to the sent message as the identification information. Correspondingly, the message receiver can identify the specific string Key, and determine that the message including the specific string Key is an important message, and needs to be highlighted in the message prompt area. Therefore, the prompt information of the important message can be displayed in the specified message prompt area by using the second message prompting method different from the first message prompting manner. For a description of the first message prompting method in this embodiment, reference may be made to the description in the message prompting method in this application, and details are not described herein.

Of course, the second message prompting method may include: adding a preset animation prompt effect in the specified message prompt area.

In the specific implementation process, the description of the second message prompting method in the foregoing message prompting method may also be referred to. For example, the animation prompt effect added in the second message prompting method may include: the icon of the message source to which the new message belongs is at least one of the following animation effects as the prompt information of the new message: the rotation effect according to the predetermined direction ; swing effect according to a predetermined angle; up and down jump effect; left and right shake effect; perform a breathing effect of a predetermined transparency change rule; perform a zoom effect of a predetermined size change rule.

The description of the message source and the animation effect described in this embodiment can be referred to the drawings and descriptions of other embodiments of the present application, and no further details are provided herein.

In the message presentation method in another application scenario, the message sent by the tag may be set as the identification information of the important message in the message sent by the terminal application or the system. When the message receiving party judges that the message including the tag information is received, the message prompting information of the new message may be displayed by using the second message prompting method different from the conventional first message prompting method, for example, adding a message prompting animation such as rotation and jumping. In this way, the new message that is received as the message source or the important message can be effectively distinguished, and the user can effectively distinguish the importance of the message from the message prompt, which can save the viewing process of the non-important message and improve the user operation. Use the experience to meet the user's message prompts.
