It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the target input is different from the first input. For example, the first input is a click input on the first logo, and the target input is an input of sliding right on the first logo.

Step 104: The communication device outputs a second message in response to the target input.

Wherein, the second message is a message received by the communication device through the first communication application, and the time of receiving the second message by the communication device is earlier than the time of receiving the first message.

It can be understood that, in this embodiment of the present application, the second message is a historical message that should be received through the first communication, for example, the second message may be an unread message among messages received through the first communication application.

It can be understood that in this embodiment of the present application, the user can customize the input form of the target input, so as to facilitate the user to quickly browse the historical information received through the first communication application.

It can be understood that in this embodiment of the present application, the user may trigger the output of any historical message received through the first communication application through the target input, which may be specifically determined according to the input form of the target input.

For example, assume that 3 messages are received through the first communication application, and the 3 messages are in the order of receiving time: message 1, message 2, and message 3; and assuming that the target operation bit outputs message 2, then: when the target When the input is that the user slides to the left on the first logo, the communication device may output the last piece of information (ie message 2) received through the first communication application; when the target input is that the user slides to the right on the first logo, the communication device The next message received through the first communication application (ie message 1) may be output.

In the embodiment of the present application, since the user can trigger the communication device to output the historical messages received by the communication application indicated by the identification by inputting the target of one of the M identifications, it is possible to improve the display effect of the electronic device , to further improve the flexibility for users to view messages.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the user may trigger the communication device to select a contact object from a communication application installed in the electronic device by inputting, so as to trigger the communication device to display an identification indicating these contact objects.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the user may trigger the communication device to set at least one of the above M identifiers once.

Exemplarily, in the embodiment of the present application, assuming that each of the M identifiers indicates a contact object in a communication application, then: before step 101 above, the communication method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following Step 105 and Step 106 of .

Step 105, the communication device receives a second input from the user.

Wherein, the second input may be used to select N contact objects in the second communication application, where N is a positive integer less than or equal to M.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the second communication application may be any communication application installed in the electronic device.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the second communication application may be the same as or different from the first communication application.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the user may perform a second input on the interface displaying the contact list (hereinafter referred to as the contact list interface) in the second communication application, so as to trigger the communication device to select from the contact list interface. Select N contact objects.

Step 106, the communication device responds to the second input, and displays N logos on the screen of the electronic device.

Wherein, each of the N identifiers may indicate a contact object of the N contact objects, and the N identifiers are identifiers of the M identifiers.

In the embodiment of the present application, after the communication device receives the second input, it may first determine whether the second communication application allows setting the identification indicating the contact object, and if the second communication application allows setting the identification indicating the contact object, the communication device may display N logo. If the second communication application does not allow setting the identification indicating the contact object, the communication device may display a prompt message to prompt the user to enable the permission of the first application to allow setting the identification indicating the contact object; for example, the communication device may display a prompt popup window, the prompt pop-up window includes "Do you want to open the communication floating window permission of the first application?", "Yes" option and "No" option, if the user clicks on the "Yes" option, the communication device can open the first application The permission of the communication floating window, and display N logos; if the user clicks on the "Yes" option, the communication device will not display N logos.

The above step 105 and step 106 will be described as an example below with reference to FIG. 4 .

Exemplarily, suppose that the second communication application allows setting the identification indicating the contact object in it; and assume that the contact list interface of the second communication application is displayed on the screen of the electronic device, then: if the user demand setting indicates that the contact "Zhang San" , then as shown in (a) in FIG. 4 , the user can press and hold the contact "Zhang San" in the contact list interface 40 to trigger the communication device to display the option 41 of "open chat floating logo", Therefore, the user can click on this option 41 , as shown in (b) in FIG. 4 , the communication device floats on the contact list interface 40 to display a sign 42 indicating the contact "Zhang San". It can be understood that the above-mentioned second input may include the user's long-press input on the contact "Zhang San" and the click input on the option "open chat floating logo". Further, when the user triggers the communication device to switch from the contact list interface to the video playback interface, the communication device may display an identification indicating the contact "Zhang San" on the video playback interface.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of this application, the above example is an example of a user selecting a contact object. Select multiple contact objects in the contact list interface, and trigger setting to indicate the identifiers of the selected contact objects.

It should be noted that, in actual implementation, when one of the M identifiers indicates a communication application, the user can trigger the communication device to set the identifier indicating the communication application by inputting on the setting interface or on the desktop. For example, the user may input an application icon of the communication application displayed on the desktop to trigger the communication device to display an identification indicating the communication application on the screen of the electronic device.

In the embodiment of the present application, on the one hand, because the user can trigger the electronic device to display N signs indicating N contact objects through the second input according to actual usage requirements, the flexibility of setting signs is improved. On the other hand, since the user can directly realize the communication with the contact objects indicated by these identifications through the identification displayed by the communication device, without having to display the communication interface corresponding to these contact objects to realize the communication with these contact objects, so not only can It prevents the communication interface from blocking the content originally displayed on the screen, and can improve the communication efficiency of the electronic device.
