All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present invention and in the drawings described above are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the invention described herein are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

Example 1

According to the embodiment of the invention, the embodiment of the method for prompting the message is provided.

Alternatively, in the present embodiment, the above method may be applied to a hardware environment formed by the server 102 and the terminal 104 as shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 1, a server 102 is connected to a terminal 104 via a network including, but not limited to: the terminal 104 is not limited to a PC, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc. in a wide area network, a metropolitan area network, or a local area network. The method of the embodiment of the present invention may be executed by the server 102, the terminal 104, or both the server 102 and the terminal 104. The terminal 104 may execute the method of the embodiment of the present invention by a client installed thereon.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of an alternative message prompting method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, the method may include the following steps:

step S202, receiving a message prompting instruction sent by a client of the social application, wherein the client logs in by using a first account, and the message prompting instruction carries account characteristic information.

Step S204, searching a type of second accounts matched with the target account characteristics in the account characteristic information in the social application.

Step S206, a prompt message is sent to each second account in the first class of second accounts, and the prompt message is used for prompting the second accounts to check information in the social application.

Through the steps S202 to S206, by performing feature matching according to the target account features in the account feature information received by the social application terminal, one type of second accounts satisfying the target account features are found, and then a prompt message is sent to each second account in the one type of second accounts to prompt the second accounts to perform information check.

The steps can be executed at an application server side of the social application, the social application can be operated on a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a computer and other terminals, and can be an APP application, a webpage application and the like, for example, the commonly used social applications such as QQ, WeChat, QQ space, WeChat friend circle, Tencent microblog and the like. The message prompt instruction is a data packet which meets an information communication protocol between the client and the application server.

The first account is an account of a current user in the client, and the second account is an account of a friend of the current user or an account paying attention to the user. For example, for the QQ group, the account of the user currently inputting information is the first account, and the accounts of other users in the QQ group may be the second accounts.

It should be noted that, in the above steps, the account characteristic information includes prompt trigger information and target account characteristic, and the prompt trigger information is a specified character, such as "@", "#", or the like, which is specified to trigger execution of the message prompt method of the present application, and may also be a character string; the target account feature is an account feature directly entered by the user or an account feature selected from a set of account features. For example, the user inputs "@ age less than 20", "@" is prompt trigger information, and "age less than 20" is a target account feature, and for example, when the client receives the "@" character input by the user, one or account features in the account feature set are displayed, and the user may directly select a desired target account feature or select a desired target account feature through a pull-down slide. In addition, the characteristic information may be obtained after the client performs the collection processing on the user information, or may be obtained after the server performs the collection processing on the user information, or may be defined by the user in a self-defined manner such as a tag, for example, when adding a friend, the tag is modified or added to be a "colleague" or a "girlfriend".

As shown in fig. 3, in the related art, the names of the users to be reminded need to be accurately input, and it is not convenient to remind one type of users at the same time, even if only one user of this type of users does not know or forget his name, the user needs to go to a lengthy contact list for searching. As the administrator in fig. 3 has two persons (named "just give you …" and "romantic") when the user who joins the group for the first time wants to consult some questions with the administrator, the goal can only be reached by accurately inputting "@ romantic" or "@ just give you …", which is particularly inconvenient for the new person who just enters the group.

By using the technical scheme of the application, the defect that the class of users with the same characteristics cannot be reminded conveniently at the same time in the prior art scheme can be well overcome by utilizing the characteristic classification based on the characteristics of all the users in the group in advance. When the user inputs "@ feature F" (feature F is selected from the drop-down list of the feature set F), the purpose of simultaneously reminding all users with the feature F in the group is achieved. Meanwhile, the scheme is compatible with a common @ function, and the user can still remind the user with the name of abc by inputting '@ abc'.

For example, in fig. 3, "@ administrator" may be directly input, the administrator is the target account feature, the server may find that the administrators in the group are "just give you …" and "romantic" according to the "administrator" feature, and send the prompt message to "just give you …" and "romantic", so that the time for the user to use the reminding function may be shortened.

Embodiments of the present application are described below in detail with reference to steps S202 to S206:

before executing the message prompt instruction sent by the client of the social application received in step S202, an account feature set may be sent to the client, where the account feature set is used to instruct the client to display the account feature set when receiving the prompt trigger information, where the account feature set includes one or more account features.

The account feature set comprehensively considers feature complete sets obtained by the features of all persons in the session group or all persons paying attention to the first account, such as roles, ages, sexes, hometown, graduation schools, speaking characteristics and the like.

Optionally, before executing the message prompt instruction sent by the client of the social application in step S202, indication information may be sent to the client, where the indication information is used to indicate that the client displays an account feature set when receiving prompt trigger information when the number of multiple accounts is greater than a preset parameter in the indication information, where the multiple accounts are accounts searched in the social application (for example, all accounts in a current session group of a first account in the instant messaging application, and all accounts paying attention to the first account in the information sharing application).

When the social application of the client is initialized, the application server can issue the account feature set and the preset parameters in the form of the configuration file to configure the client, so that the client can directly read the preset parameters from the configuration file stored in the local during the process of displaying the account feature set, and then read the account feature set and display when the number of friends in the current QQ group is judged to be not less than the preset parameters. When the account feature set is displayed, the account feature set can be displayed in a drop-down box form.

When prompt trigger information (such as "@") is input in the social application on the client, the client can be triggered to detect whether the configuration file is stored locally, and if not, the client can actively apply for the configuration file from the application server.

When the client detects that the local configuration file is not updated after the preset time, the client also actively applies for updating to the application server, the application server issues the configuration file with the latest version, after the client receives the configuration file, the client checks whether the version number of the received configuration file is higher than that of the locally stored configuration file, and if so, the locally stored configuration file is updated to the received configuration file.

Since the arrangement order of the account features in the account feature set does not consider the usage habits of the user at the initial time, after the message prompt instruction sent by the client receiving the social application in step S202 is executed, the arrangement order of the account features in the account feature set may be updated based on the account feature information, where the client displays the account features in the account feature set according to the arrangement order. And after receiving a message prompt instruction sent by a client of the social application, updating the value of the preset parameter according to account characteristic information sent by the client.

Specifically, updating the arrangement sequence of account features in the account feature set based on the account feature information includes: determining the current using times of the target account feature in the account feature information, for example, if the account feature in the account feature set is used once, the weight of the account feature set can be automatically increased by 1; the ranking order is determined according to the current number of times of use of each account feature in the account feature set, that is, the ranking may be performed according to the weight value of each account feature, for example, a row with a higher weight is arranged at the front of the queue, and a row with a lower weight is arranged at the back of the queue.

When the value of the preset parameter is updated according to the account characteristic information sent by the client, the change of the current session group or the account number paying attention to the first account and the frequency condition of the prompt trigger information used by the user can be checked according to the user information (such as the account characteristic information) uploaded by the client.

It should be noted that, because the usage habits of the user constantly change, in order to adapt to the change of the user, the above manner may also be used to update the arrangement order of the account features in the account feature set and update the values of the preset parameters so as to follow the change of the habits of the user, thereby meeting the user requirements.

In step S204, searching for a type of second account in the social application that matches the target account feature in the account feature information includes: under the condition that the social application is an instant messaging application (such as QQ, WeChat and the like), searching a second account matched with the characteristics of the target account from the current session and/or the historical session of the first account; and under the condition that the social application is an information sharing application (such as QQ space, WeChat friend circle, Tencent microblog and other applications), searching a second account matched with the target account characteristic from the accounts concerning the first account.

In the instant messaging application, when a type of second account matched with the characteristics of a target account is searched from the current session and/or the historical session of a first account, the second account can be determined from the current session or the historical session according to the actual operation of a user. For example, if the user inputs prompt trigger information "@" in a dialog box of the current session, a second account meeting the characteristics of the target account is searched from the current session so as to embody that the second account views the message sent by the second account; if the user inputs prompt trigger information '@' in a non-dialog box (such as a friend search bar and the like) of the application, a second account meeting the characteristics of the target account can be searched from the session (which can be one or more of the current session and the historical session) selected by the user, and the user is reminded to view messages sent by the user in the groups; if the user inputs the prompt trigger information '@' in a non-dialog box (such as a friend search bar) of the application, a second account meeting the characteristics of the target account can be searched from all friends of the user. When prompt triggering information is input in a non-dialog box (such as a friend search bar and the like), the operation of establishing a group can be performed, and specifically, a group including a first type of second account is established.

It should be noted that, when searching for a type of second account in the social application that matches the target account feature in the account feature information, if the target account feature is one, the type of second account is a second account that has or does not have the target account feature; and under the condition that the target account characteristics are multiple, the first-class second account is the second account which meets the logical relation among the multiple target account characteristics.

The logical relations include logical and (represented by the symbol "n"), logical or (represented by the symbol "u"), and logical not (represented by the symbol "minus"), and when the user selects the target account feature, the user can select or directly input the logical relation of the feature, for example, if the logical relation of a certain target account feature is selected as logical not, it is equivalent to searching for a second account without the target account feature; if the logic relation between any two target account characteristics selected by the user is a logic AND, the user selects a second type of account with the two target account characteristics at the same time; if the logical relationship between any two target account characteristics selected by the user is logical or, then the user account with at least one of the two target account characteristics is selected.

For example, when the user selects feature f₁，f₂，f₃… allows the user to select the relationship between these features that the person to be reminded needs to have, e.g., (f)₁∩f₂)∪f₃Indicating the need for the person to be reminded to meet the feature f at the same time₁And f₂Or only need to have the feature f₃And (4) finishing.

In the above embodiment, after searching for a type of second account in the social application that matches the target account feature in the account feature information in step S204, in a case that the social application is an instant messaging application, a session group is established, where the session group includes a first account and a type of second account, for example, when a user inputs a prompt trigger information in a non-dialog box (such as a friend search bar, etc.), a group establishing operation may be performed, specifically, a group including a type of second account is established.

In step S206, sending the prompting message to each of the first type of second accounts includes: sending a prompt message for prompting that a specified message is checked on the instant messaging application under the condition that the social application is the instant messaging application, wherein the specified message is a message specified by the first account; and sending a prompt message for prompting that the specified content is viewed on the information sharing application under the condition that the social application is the information sharing application, wherein the specified content is the sharing content specified by the first account.

If the prompt is the prompt for establishing the group in the communication application, the sending the prompt message to each second account in the first class of second accounts comprises the following steps: and sending a prompt message to each second account, wherein the prompt message is used for requesting each second account to join the session group, and the user selects to join or not join after seeing the prompt message, and the prompt message is viewed by the user, or the prompt message is used for prompting that each second account is joined to the session group, namely the user is informed of the group joined through the prompt message.

The following describes an embodiment of the present application in detail with reference to an instant messaging application and an information sharing application as examples:

implementation-based instant messaging application

The instant messaging application is a widely used application in life, and includes QQ, wechat, and the like, and the application takes QQ as an example for explanation, but the application is not limited thereto.

Scenario 1, user needs to send message to multiple users (but these multiple users are not in the same group)

Optionally, the user may input the prompt trigger information @ at a designated location (e.g., a search bar) of the user interface of the QQ on the mobile phone, and input the account characteristic information "success", and then the application server or the QQ application of the mobile phone automatically searches for friends with hometown of "success" or current location of "success" among all friends of the mobile phone.

The user can directly input the messages which need to be sent to the users after the account characteristic information, and the server forwards the messages input by the user to the searched friends. At this time, the sent prompt message may be a message input by the user, or identification information used for identifying the message sent by the user in the session list of the friend of the user. In order to distinguish between the prompt trigger and the message the user needs to send, a gap symbol, such as "#", may be added between the two.

Optionally, the user may input the prompt trigger information @ at a designated location (e.g., a search bar) of a QQ user interface on the mobile phone, and input the account characteristic information "beijing", and then the application server or the QQ application at the mobile phone end automatically searches for friends of which hometown is "beijing" or whose current location is "beijing" among all friends of the friends, and establishes a group including the friends, or requests the friends to join the currently created group.

At this time, the sent prompt message is a request message requesting to join the group, or a prompt message prompting that the friend has joined the group.

After the group is created, the user can send the message in the group.

Scenario 2, user needs to send message to multiple users (multiple users in the same group)

Optionally, the user may input the prompt trigger information @, and input the account characteristic information "market department" in the session interface of the current session group, the server may identify all the coworkers of the "market department" in the session group, and when the user sends the message "@ market department", the server may send the prompt message to all the coworkers of the "market department", and when the coworkers issue the prompt message, the server may automatically jump to the message "@ market department", and the user may send the message of the specified content in the message after or before the message "@ market department", so that the coworkers of the "market department" may not miss the message of the specified content.

Alternatively, the user may input a message that needs to be received by the "market department" colleague, such as "three-point meeting in afternoon", and then input the prompt trigger information @, and input the account characteristic information "market department", so that, when the user sends the complete message of "three-point meeting in afternoon @ market department", the server identifies all colleagues with the "market department" characteristic (such as "market department in name", "market department in remark", classification information "market department", etc.) from the conversation group, and forms a prompt message prompting to view the message in the conversation list of the colleagues while sending "three-point meeting in afternoon @ market department" to the colleagues.

Alternatively, the user may also directly input "@ market department three-point conference in afternoon" in the conversation interface of the current conversation group. In order to distinguish the prompt trigger information from the message that the user needs to send, a designated character or character string such as a space, a "," "&" or the like may be added between "market division" and "three point afternoon meeting".

It should be noted that, in the above application scenario, after the user inputs "@", the QQ client may automatically display a plurality of feature information about all the friends or friends in the designated group, which is automatically generated by the application server, and the user only needs to select the required feature information in the list; or both, allowing the user to enter features themselves and to select features from the list.

In addition, the behavior information (such as session information) of the user is sent to the application server, and the application server performs corresponding operations. If the account characteristic information input by the user is unused before, adding the account characteristic information into an account characteristic set for the user to use later; if the account characteristic information input by the user exists in the account characteristic set, the application server updates the use times of the account characteristic information in the account characteristic set, and reorders the use times based on the current use times of the account characteristic information, and the use times are arranged in front of the queue, so that the user can select the account characteristic information conveniently.

Information sharing application of embodiment two

The information sharing application includes a space (such as a QQ space), a friend circle (such as a WeChat friend circle), a microblog (such as a Tengchong microblog), and the like, and the Tengchong microblog is taken as an example for detailed description, but not limited thereto.

After a user plays with a plurality of friends on a trip, the user takes a plurality of photos, and when the user needs to remind the friends to view the photos (namely, specified contents) through a microblog, the user can operate as follows.

After the photos are uploaded, prompt triggering information '@' is input in the sharing window, then account characteristic information is input, and the user can click to share, wherein the server can determine accounts of the friends according to the account characteristic information and sends the shared prompt information to user accounts of the friends. When the friends open the microblog, the prompt message is received, and the sharing link can be directly accessed to view the photo when the prompt message is opened.

Optionally, the account characteristic information may be group identification information and classification information in the microblog, for example, if the friends of the user are in the same group, the user may input a group name or a friend classification directly after "@".

Optionally, the account characteristic information may also be characteristic information of the user, such as information of gender, age, hometown, location, company, department, position, and the like. If the user can input "Beijing andU" after "@", all friends of the user are reminded to meet the requirements of "in Beijing" and "women in gender".

According to another aspect of the embodiments of the present invention, there is also provided a message prompting method, as shown in fig. 4, the method includes:

step S402, prompt triggering information is received in a client of the social application, and the client logs in through a first account.

And step S404, responding to the prompt triggering information to acquire the characteristics of the target account.

Step S406, a message prompt instruction is sent to the server of the social application in the client, the message prompt instruction carries account characteristic information, the account characteristic information includes prompt trigger information and target account characteristics, and the message prompt instruction is used for instructing the server to search a class of second accounts matched with the target account characteristics in the account characteristic information in the social application, and send a prompt message to each second account in the class of second accounts.

Through the steps S402 to S406, by performing feature matching according to the target account features in the account feature information received by the social application terminal, one type of second accounts satisfying the target account features are found, and then a prompt message is sent to each second account in the one type of second accounts to prompt the second accounts to perform information check.

The steps can be executed at a client side of the social application, and the social application can be an APP application, a webpage application and the like, such as common social applications like QQ, WeChat, QQ space, WeChat friend circle, Tengchong microblog and the like; the client can be at a terminal such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a computer and the like; the message prompt instruction is a data packet which meets an information communication protocol between the client and the application server.

The prompt trigger information is a designated character used for triggering execution of the message prompt method of the application, such as a "@", "#", and the like, or may be a character string; the target account feature is an account feature directly entered by the user or an account feature selected from a set of account features. For example, the user inputs "@ age less than 20", "@" is prompt trigger information, and "age less than 20" is a target account feature, and for example, when the client receives the "@" character input by the user, one or account features in the account feature set are displayed, and the user may directly select a desired target account feature or select a desired target account feature through a pull-down slide.

Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to steps S402 to S406:

in step S402, prompt trigger information is received in a client of the social application, and the client logs in using a first account. For example, after the user logs in the client through the first account, the user inputs the prompt trigger information, such as the prompt trigger information "@", and the client responds through step S404.

In step S404, the obtaining the target account feature in response to the prompt trigger information includes: responding to prompt trigger information to display an account feature set in the client, wherein the account feature set comprises one or more account features; receiving a feature selection instruction in a client; and responding to the characteristic selection instruction to select a target account characteristic from the account characteristic set.

Specifically, the step of displaying the account feature set in the client in response to the prompt trigger information includes: determining the arrangement sequence of each account feature in the account feature set; and displaying one or more account characteristics in the account characteristic set in the client according to the arrangement sequence.

When the arrangement order of the account features in the account feature set is determined, the arrangement order of the account features in the account feature set can be obtained from an application server of the social application. For example, it is obtained by:

the first method is as follows: when prompt trigger information (such as "@") is input in the social application on the client, the client can be triggered to detect whether the configuration file is stored locally, if not, the configuration file is initiatively applied to the application server, and the arrangement sequence of the account features is stored in the configuration file.

The second method comprises the following steps: when the client detects that the local configuration file is not updated after the preset time, the client also actively applies for updating to the application server, the application server issues the configuration file with the latest version, after the client receives the configuration file, the client checks whether the version number of the received configuration file is higher than the version number of the locally stored configuration file, if so, the locally stored configuration file is updated to the received configuration file, and the arrangement sequence of the account characteristics is stored in the configuration file.

The third method comprises the following steps: before executing step S402, when the social application of the client is initialized, the client may receive the account feature set and the arrangement order of the account features that are issued by the application server in the form of the configuration file, so as to perform the relevant configuration.

By using the configuration method, the habits of most users can be comprehensively considered, and the basic habit requirements of most users can be met under the condition of not consuming local resources.

Optionally, when the arrangement order of the account features in the account feature set is determined, the arrangement order of the account features is determined according to the current number of times of use of the account features on the client, that is, the initial arrangement order of the account features is obtained from an initial configuration file, the initial order is given by the server, the weights of all the features are all 0, the number of times of use or the weight of the account feature is updated locally at the client after the user uses the account feature once, after the user selects a certain feature f, the weight of the f is increased by 1, the f is re-sorted according to the weights, and then the re-sorting is performed according to the number of times of use or the weights of the local account features. By using the configuration method, the use habits of the individual users can be counted more accurately, the arrangement sequence meeting the habit requirements of the individual users is provided for the individual users, and the user experience can be further provided.

It should be noted that the feature set F may be generated at the client or the server, but considering that the server has more complete user information and the generation speed is faster, it may be generated at the server and sent to the client along with the configuration file; if the user habit is matched, the user habit can be generated at the client side.

Optionally, not all groups need to use the prompting method of the present application, which may be limited in such a way that, before displaying the account feature set in the client in response to the prompt trigger information, in a case where the social application is an instant messaging application, it is determined whether the first number of accounts in the current session group of the first account reaches a preset parameter, wherein, in a case where it is determined that the first number reaches the preset parameter, the account feature set is displayed in the client in response to the prompt trigger information; or, when the social application is an information sharing application, determining whether the second number of the account concerning the first account reaches a preset parameter, wherein, when the second number reaches the preset parameter, the account feature set is displayed in the client in response to the prompt trigger information.

For example, in the process of displaying the account feature set, the client may directly read the preset parameter from the configuration file stored locally, and when it is determined that the number of friends in the current QQ group is not less than the preset parameter, the account feature set is read and displayed. When the account feature set is displayed, the account feature set can be displayed in a drop-down box form.

The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the QQ group in the instant messaging account as an example. As shown in fig. 5:

step S502, the client receives the prompt triggering information. For example, user U has entered @inthe chat window while chatting in the QQ group.

Step S504, whether the configuration file is stored locally or not. If yes, go to step S508, otherwise go to step S506.

Step S506, request a configuration file from the cloud (application server). And pre-generating a feature set F based on all user features in the group at the server and issuing the feature set F to the client along with the configuration file.

Step S508, the configuration file is parsed to obtain the account feature set and the preset parameters (i.e., the threshold N).

In step S510, it is determined whether the number of people is greater than or equal to the threshold N, if so, step S512 is executed, otherwise, step S514 is executed.

Step S512, displaying a drop-down box of the account feature set for the user to select. If the number of people in the group Q is N_QAnd displaying the drop-down box display feature set F for the user to select.

Step S514, degenerates to the normal @ function. The user can select the reminded accounts one by one after @ the user has finished selecting the reminded accounts.

If the number of people in the group is N_Q<N or the user has not selected any feature in the feature set F, degenerates to the normal @ function, i.e. after accurately entering the name of a certain user in the group, he is reminded separately.

At step S516, whether the user has selected at least one account feature. If so, go to step S518, otherwise go to step S514.

Step S518, all users who meet the selection feature are reminded. If the user selects one or more features f₁，f₂，f₃…, a message M is sent, and the server will push the message M with the reminding mark to all users who meet any one of the selected characteristics, and the clients of these users will remind the users of the message M in a striking way.

Step S520, uploading the user behavior data to the cloud.

And the server side updates the threshold N and the feature set F according to the uploaded data, packages the threshold N and the feature set F into a configuration file and sends the configuration file to the client side.

In this embodiment, the user U inputs prompt trigger information "@" in the group chat "And then, if the number of people in the group exceeds a threshold (namely a preset parameter) N, automatically popping up a drop-down box, and listing a feature set F generated in advance based on the features of all the users in the group in the drop-down box. User selection of one or more features F in the set F₁，f₂，f₃… IM software will have all features f₁Or f₂Or f₃Generates a striking prompt to remind the user to pay attention to the information sent by the user U. Otherwise, if the number of people in the group is less than the threshold value N or the user U does not select any feature in the feature set F, the system degenerates to the ordinary "@ function", namely, the process of accurately reminding the user of the name abc, namely "@ abc", is executed. By using the classification based on the characteristics of all users in the group, the defect that the users with the same characteristics cannot be reminded conveniently and simultaneously in the prior art scheme can be well solved. When the user inputs "@ feature F" (feature F is selected from the drop-down list of the feature set F), the purpose of simultaneously reminding all users with the feature F in the group is achieved. Meanwhile, the scheme is compatible with a common @ function, and the user can still remind the user with the name of abc by inputting '@ abc'.

In the embodiment, the system mainly comprises a client and a server, wherein the client is responsible for displaying a drop-down box of the feature set F and uploading user behaviors, and the server is responsible for updating the threshold N and the feature set F, packaging the threshold N and the feature set F into a configuration file and sending the configuration file to the client.

the meaning of each field is as follows:

version: the version number of the current configuration file is used for updating the local configuration file, and the updating is carried out only when the version number of the new configuration file issued by the server is higher than the local version number.

features: namely, the feature set F, comprehensively considers the feature complete set obtained by the features of all the persons in the group, such as roles, ages, sexes, hometown, graduation colleges, speaking characteristics, and the like.

threshold: i.e. a threshold (preset parameter) N, when the user enters @ in a chat in a group with more than N people, a drop-down box is shown to show the feature set F of the group for selection.

For the client, the functions of the present application can be implemented by the following schematic codes:

it should be noted that, when the @ function is used for multi-user chat, in order to remind a user of paying particular attention to a certain message, a special mark of the @ username "is inserted into the message, and the IM software reminds the user of the message in a certain striking manner.

By the embodiment, the reminding method based on the characteristics is used, so that the user experience can be improved when the user uses the reminding function, a complicated and error-prone input process is omitted, and the user with the same characteristics can be reminded in group chat conveniently.
