CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This is a continuation of International Patent Application No. PCT/CN2020/128163, filed on Nov. 11, 2020, which is based on and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201911102853.5, filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) on Nov. 12, 2019, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to the field of instant messaging technologies, for example, a session message display method, an electronic device and a storage medium.

BACKGROUND

Instant messaging is a popular manner of communication, and various instant messaging application programs emerge in endlessly. For an instant messaging client, it is generally designed in a tertiary model of session list-session-message, where the message is the content of information, the session is a collection of messages, the session list is a centralized location of sessions, and all sessions in the session list are arranged according to the generation time of the latest message of the corresponding session in a reverse chronological order.

In the instant messaging client, all message sessions are displayed in the session list. After a user A sends a message M to a user B by using the session, if the user B does not immediately read and respond to the message M, the user A temporarily leaves the session and processes a message of other sessions in the session list. At this time, if the user A wants to know whether the message M is read or whether there is a responded emoji message, the user A needs to enter the session of the user A and the user B again for checking. If the message M is not read or there is no responded emoji message, the user A needs to leave the session of the user A and the user B, and then repeatedly enters and exits the session for checking. The operation of repeatedly entering and exiting the session for checking takes time, consumes attention, and affects the working efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, the present disclosure may be embodied in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

The various steps recited in method implementations of the present disclosure may be performed in different orders, and/or in parallel. In addition, the method implementations may include additional steps and/or omit performing the shown steps. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

As used herein, the term “include” and its variants are open-ended, that is, “including but not limited to”. The term “based on” is “at least partially based on”. The term “one embodiment” means “at least one embodiment”; the term “another embodiment” means “at least one further embodiment”; and the term “some embodiments” means “at least some embodiments”. Related definitions for other terms will be given in the following description.

The concepts of “first”, “second”, and the like mentioned in the present disclosure are only used for distinguishing different apparatuses, modules, or units, and are not used for limiting the order or interdependence of functions performed by these apparatuses, modules, or units.

The modification of “one” or “multiple” mentioned in the present disclosure is intended to be schematic rather than limitation, and should be understood as “one or more” unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

The names of messages or information interacted among multiple apparatuses in the implementations of the present disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of such messages or information.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a session message display method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of the present disclosure is applicable to the case of determining a message display content in a message entry in a session list page according to a session message in a session, the method may be executed by a session message display apparatus, and the apparatus may be implemented by adopting software and/or hardware. The apparatus may be configured in an instant messaging application client mounted in an electronic device. As shown in FIG. 1, the method may include steps described below.

In step 101, a first session message input by a first user for one or more second users is received on a session page, and the first session message is sent to the one or more second users.

The session is generally divided into a single-chat session and a group-chat session. A single chat refers to a session in which there are only 2 participants in the session. A group chat refers to a session in which there may be 2 or more participants.

The session message has an unread state and a read state. When the session message is sent to the session, if other session participants except a sender do not read the message, the session message is in the unread state, and if all other session participants read the message except the sender, then the session message is in the read state.

The session message is divided into an independent message and a response message. The independent message refers to a session message containing main elements such as a sender, a message content, a session to which the message is sent, and sending time. The response message refers to a session message containing main elements such as a sender, a message content, a session to which this message is sent, sending time, and a response target message. The response message includes a response content message and a response emoji message. The response content message may take any form of character, picture, file or the like as the body of a response. The response emoji message may only take one emoji symbol as the body of the response.

In a specific instance, the session is the single-chat session. Session participants of the session are a first user and one second user. A first session message input by the first user for the one second user is received on a session page, and the first session message is sent to the second user. In an embodiment, an instant messaging application client of the first user acquires the first session message input by the first user for the single-chat session, and sends the first session message to an instant messaging application client of the one second user. The first session message may contain main elements such as the sender, the message content, the session to which this message is sent, and the sending time. The sender of the first session message is the first user.

In another specific instance, the session is the group-chat session. Session participants of the session are a first user and multiple second users. A first session message input by the first user for the multiple second users is received on a session page, and the first session message is sent to the multiple second users. In an embodiment, an instant messaging application client of the first user acquires the first session message input by the first user for the group-chat session, and sends the first session message to instant messaging application clients of the multiple second users.

In step 102, a message display content is generated in a message entry of a session list page of the first user according to a reading action and/or a reply action of the one or more second users on the first session message.

The message display content includes the first session message and message state information of the first session message, and the message entry is associated with the second user.

In an embodiment, the message state information includes a read state and an emoji response for the first session message.

For each session, when a session message of the session exists, important information of the session message may be displayed through the message display content in a message entry of the session in the session list. Therefore, the user may know the important information of the session message only on the session list page without entering the session. Previously, the user needs to repeatedly enter the session for checking so as to learn information in time, and now the user does not need manual operations and only needs to keep the session list page open to directly know messages within the session.

In an embodiment, that the message display content is generated in the message entry of the session list page of the first user according to the reading action and/or the reply action of the second user on the first session message may include that: before the second user reads the first session message, the message display content is generated in the message entry of the session list page of the first user, and the message display content includes an unread identifier and the first session message.

Thus, the first user may determine that, only in the message entry associated with the second user of the session list page, the second user has received the first session message and does not read the first session message without entering the session.

In an embodiment, that the message display content is generated in the message entry of the session list page of the first user according to the reading action and/or the reply action of the second user on the first session message may include that: after the second user reads the first session message, the message display content is updated, and the unread identifier is updated into a read identifier.

Thus, the first user may determine that, only in the message entry associated with the second user of the session list page, the second user has read the first session message without entering the session.

In an embodiment, that the message display content is generated in the message entry of the session list page of the first user according to the reading action and/or the reply action of the second user on the first session message may include that: when an emoji response of the second user to the first session message is received, the message display content is updated, and the read identifier is replaced with an emoji icon replied by the second user.

Thus, the first user may determine, only in the message entry associated with the second user of the session list page, whether the second user replies the emoji icon without entering the session.

According to the technical scheme provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the message display content is generated in the message entry of the session list page of the first user according to the reading action and/or the reply action of the second user on the first session message, the message display content includes the first session message and the message state information, and the message entry is associated with the second user, so that the message state information of the session message may be intuitively provided through the message display content in the message entry of the session list page, duplicative and inefficient operations that the user needs to repeatedly enter and exit the session for checking a message state in order to obtain the communication progress of the session are avoided, and the processing efficiency of the session message is improved.

FIG. 2A is a flowchart of another session message display method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. An embodiment of the present disclosure may be combined with alternative schemes in one or more embodiments described above. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, that the message display content is generated in the message entry of the session list page of the first user according to the reading action and/or the reply action of the second user on the first session message may include that: before the second user reads the first session message, the message display content is generated in the message entry of the session list page of the first user, where the message display content includes an unread identifier and the first session message.

That the message display content is generated in the message entry of the session list page of the first user according to the reading action and/or the reply action of the second user on the first session message may include that: after the second user reads the first session message, the message display content is updated, and the unread identifier is updated into a read identifier.

That the message display content is generated in the message entry of the session list page of the first user according to the reading action and/or the reply action of the second user on the first session message may include that: when an emoji response of the second user to the first session message is received, the message display content is updated, and a read identifier is replaced with an emoji icon replied by the second user.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the method may include steps described below.

In step 201, a first session message input by a first user for one or more second users is received on a session page, and the first session message is sent to the one or more second users.

Exemplarily, FIG. 2B is a schematic diagram of a session page provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The session is a single-chat session. Session participants of the session are the first user and one second user. As shown in FIG. 2B, the first user enters the session, and inputs a first session message that “80% has completed, and there is still one question waiting for confirmation, I will reply to you before the end of the day, is that OK?” in the session.

FIG. 2C is a schematic diagram of another session page provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. An instant messaging application client of the first user acquires a first session message input by the first user for the session, and sends the first session message to an instant messaging application client of one second user “Zhao XX”. As shown in FIG. 2C, the first session message that “80% has completed, and there is still one question waiting for confirmation, I will reply to you before the end of the day, is that OK?” is in the in-sending state.

FIG. 2D is a schematic diagram of a session list page provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2D, in the message entry associated with the second user “Zhao XX” of the session list page, the in-sending identifier 21 is displayed before the first session message, which represents that the first session message “80% has completed, and there is still one question waiting for confirmation, I will reply to you before the end of the day, is that OK?” is being sent.

In step 202, before the second user reads the first session message, the message display content is generated in the message entry of the session list page of the first user, and the message display content includes an unread identifier and the first session message.

Before the second user reads the first session message, the message display content includes the unread identifier and the first session message.

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 2E, in the message entry associated with the second user “Zhao XX” of the session list page, the unread identifier 22 is displayed before the first session message, which represents that the first session message “80% has completed, and there is still one question waiting for confirmation, I will reply to you before the end of the work, is that OK?” is sent successfully, and the second user “Zhao XX” has received the first session message and does not read the first session message.

In step 203, after the second user reads the first session message, the message display content is updated, and the unread identifier is updated into a read identifier.

In an embodiment, updating the unread identifier into the read identifier may include that the color and/or the brightness of the unread identifier is changed to generate the read identifier.

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 2F, in the message entry associated with the second user “Zhao XX” of the session list page, the read identifier 23 is displayed before the first session message, which represents that the first session message “80% has completed, and there is still one question waiting for confirmation, I will reply to you before the end of the day, is that OK?” is sent successfully, the second user “Zhao XX” has read the first session message. The read identifier 23 in FIG. 2F is generated by changing the color and/or the brightness of the unread identifier 22 in FIG. 2E.

In step 204, when an emoji response of the second user to the first session message is received, the message display content is updated, and the read identifier is replaced with an emoji icon replied by the second user.

The second user feeds back session information containing the emoji icon for the first session message. The emoji icon may be any graphic and is used for quickly expressing the attitude and feedback of the second user on the first session message.

When the emoji response of the second user to the first session message is received, the message display content includes the first session message and the emoji icon replied by the second user.

In an embodiment, when the emoji response of the second user to the first session message is received, that the message display content is updated and the read identifier is replaced with the emoji icon replied by the second user may further include that: a separation identifier is added between the emoji icon and the first session message.

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 2G, in the message entry associated with the second user “Zhao XX” of the session list page, the emoji icon 24 replied by the second user “Zhao XX” is displayed before the first session message, the separation identifier “|” is provided between the emoji icon 24 and the first session message that “80% has completed, and there is still one question waiting for confirmation, I will reply to you before the end of the day, is that OK?”, which represents that the first session message that “80% has completed, and there is still one question waiting for confirmation, I will reply to you before the end of the day, is that OK?” is sent successfully, and the second user “Zhao XX” has read the first session message and replies the emoji icon 24.

In the session list page of the embodiments of the present disclosure, information that is important for the communication progress within the session is refined, and the information is reorganized in a limited space and displayed to the user. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the simplest page elements are adopted, in the message entry associated with the second user of the session list page, various message state information is provided to the maximum extent, so that the disorder of page layout is avoided, and meanwhile, the waste of time for the user to repeatedly enter the session is avoided, the user may intuitively know the state of the session message, and a plan for further communication is facilitated. If the user performs multiple single-chat-session communications with multiple persons at the same time, the effect of efficiency improvement is more obvious. Communication work, which may only be performed in series previously, may now be performed in parallel.

Common instant messaging tools cannot directly check whether session information containing the emoji icon is fed back in the session list, and cannot directly check the emoji icon in the session list. The user still needs to enter the session for checking the emoji icon.

According to the technical scheme provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, before the second user reads the first session message, the message display content is generated in the message entry of the session list page of the first user, where the message display content includes the unread identifier and the first session message; after the second user reads the first session message, the message display content is updated, and the unread identifier is updated into the read identifier; when the emoji response of the second user to the first session message is received, the message display content is updated, and the read identifier is replaced with the emoji icon replied by the second user, so that various message state information may be provided in the message entry associated with the second user of the session list page, therefore, the user may directly know information within the session only by keeping the session list page open, and the emoji icon replied by the second user may be displayed in the message entry associated with the second user of the session list page, duplicative and ineffective operations that the user needs to repeatedly enter and exit the session for checking whether the opposite side feeds back the emoji icon are avoided, and thus the processing efficiency of the session message is improved.

Thus, without entering the session, the first user may determine that, only in the message entry associated with the second user of the session list page, the second session message sent by the second user is received and the second session message is not read.

Exemplarily, FIG. 3B is a schematic diagram of another session list page provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. A second session message of “how is the work going today?” input for a session by the second user “Zhao XX” is received. As shown in FIG. 3B, in the message entry associated with the second user “Zhao XX” of the session list page, the received unread identifier 31 is displayed on the session identifier 32 in the message entry associated with the second user “Zhao XX” of the session list page.

In an embodiment, that the message display content is generated in the message entry of the session list page of the first user according to the reading action of the first user on the second session message may include that: after the first user reads the second session message, the message display content is updated, and the received unread identifier is updated into a read identifier.

In an embodiment, that the received unread identifier is updated into the received read identifier includes deleting the received unread identifier.

Thus, without entering the session, the first user may determine that, only in the message entry associated with the second user of the session list page, the second session message sent by the second user has been read.

Exemplarily, FIG. 3C is a schematic diagram of another session list page provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3C, the unread identifier 31 is not displayed on the session identifier 32 in the message entry associated with the second user “Zhao XX” of the session list page, which represents that the first user has read the second session message “how is the work going today?”.

In step 303, a first session message input by the first user for the one or more second users is received on the session page, and the first session message is sent to the one or more second users.

In step 304, the message display content is generated in the message entry of the session list page of the first user according to a reading action and/or a reply action of the second user on the first session message.

The message display content includes the first session message and message state information of the first session message, and the message entry is associated with the second user.

According to the technical scheme provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the second session message input by the one or more second users for the first user is received, and then the message display content is generated in the message entry of the session list page of the first user according to the reading action of the first user on the second session message; where the message display content includes the second session message and the message state information, and the message entry is associated with the second user, so that the message state information of the session message may be intuitively provided through the message display content in the message entry associated with the second user of the session list page, duplicative and inefficient operations that the user needs to repeatedly enter and exit the session for checking the message state in order to obtain the communication progress of the session are avoided, and the processing efficiency of the session message is improved.
