Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. 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.

The terminology used in the embodiments of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used in the examples of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms "a", "an", and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, and "a" and "an" generally include at least two, but do not exclude at least one, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

It should be understood that the term "and/or" as used herein is merely a relationship that describes an associated object, meaning that three relationships may exist, e.g., a and/or B, may represent: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character "/" herein generally indicates that the former and latter related objects are in an "or" relationship.

The words "if", as used herein may be interpreted as "at \8230; \8230whenor" when 8230; \8230when or "in response to a determination" or "in response to a detection", depending on the context. Similarly, the phrases "if determined" or "if detected (a stated condition or event)" may be interpreted as "when determined" or "in response to a determination" or "when detected (a stated condition or event)" or "in response to a detection (a stated condition or event)", depending on the context.

It is also noted that the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a good or system that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such good or system. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrases "comprising one of \8230;" does not exclude the presence of additional like elements in an article or system comprising the element.

In addition, the sequence of steps in each method embodiment described below is only an example and is not strictly limited.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a group communication method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the group communication method may be executed by an instant messaging application or a corresponding server. As shown in fig. 1, the method comprises the steps of:

101. and if the group comprises a plurality of second messages related to the first message, merging the plurality of second messages.

102. And displaying the plurality of second messages after the merging processing.

Typically, instant messaging applications often support group functionality, whereby group members may have an in-group conversation within a group by establishing the group to include a plurality of members. Thus, a user mentioned in this embodiment refers to a member in a certain group.

In a group comprising a plurality of users, when a user issues a message in the group, other users in the group may respond to the message, such as: a user sends a birthday blessing message in the group, which is happy for a certain birthday. Other users within the group may respond as follows: pictures, animations, day greeting, pictures, animations, etc. are issued.

When there are many users in the group, because the current message presentation policy basically presents each message in sequence in the vertical direction according to the message sending time, in the above example case, after a certain user issues a birthday blessing message, if other multiple users respond with a trigger approval picture respectively, when a certain user in the group views the group message, the user sees multiple approval pictures arranged in the vertical direction in the conversation window of the group, and if many approval pictures are generated, the user may perform multiple sliding operations in the conversation window, and still sees mainly multiple approval pictures, at this time, it is likely that the chat interface is flushed with approval pictures, the user experience is poor, and the space utilization of the screen is poor.

The picture screen refreshing of the chat interface in the above example is only an indication that a certain message screen refreshing of the chat interface is performed, and actually, in a group communication scene, other screen refreshing messages may occur. The group communication method in the embodiment of the invention is provided for avoiding the situation that a user cannot directly know the generation situation of communication messages in a group due to the fact that a plurality of screen refreshing messages are used for refreshing a chat interface, improving the space utilization rate of the chat interface and enabling more communication messages to be displayed in the chat interface space of one screen.

Optionally, assuming that N communication messages have been generated in the group, where N is greater than 1, a user in the group triggers an operation of viewing the communication messages generated in the group, and based on the operation, the instant messaging application of the user may display the N communication messages obtained from the server. However, in the process of presentation, the instant messaging application program may perform the following processing: and judging whether the N communication messages contain a plurality of second messages related to a first message serving as a topic, and if so, merging the plurality of second messages. At this time, the plurality of second messages may be screen-swiped messages. Wherein the N communication messages may be user unread messages.

In this embodiment, the first message may also be referred to as a topic message or a subject message. The following schematically illustrates the meaning of the following topic message: at a certain time, a certain user in the group sends out a communication message in the group, and if the communication message is not generated in the group within a certain time before the communication message is generated or the similarity or correlation between the communication message generated before and the communication message is not large, the communication message can be regarded as a topic message, namely, the topic message is the first message in the text.

To determine whether N communication messages include a plurality of second messages related to a first message and swiped on the screen, first, a first message in a group, that is, a topic message, needs to be acquired. However, even in the case where the user performs the message viewing operation triggered based on the prompt of the unread N communication messages in the group, the acquisition target of the first message is not limited to the N communication messages. This is because there are cases where the communication messages within the group are repeatedly viewed in practical applications, such as the following cases: after a user in a group sends a communication message, the users in the group send a plurality of communication messages in response to the communication message, at the moment, the user in the group enters a chat interface of the group to check the communication message in the group, the user checks the plurality of communication messages sent at the moment, then the user exits the chat interface of the group, after a while, the user enters the chat interface of the group again, and at the moment, the user can continuously check the communication message generated after exiting the chat interface last time. In this case, during the period from the last time the user exits the chat interface of the group to the last time the user enters the chat interface of the group, the communication message generated by the group may still continue to the topic before the last time the user exits the chat interface, for example, after a certain user issues blessing information in the group to blessing a certain birthday, the user a in the group sees the blessing message and the like sent by some users after entering the group chat interface for the first time, and then the user a exits the chat interface, and when the user a enters the chat interface of the group again after a while, the communication message such as like a like picture and birthday blessing words sent by other users in the group for the blessing message may be seen.

With reference to the foregoing example, in this embodiment, when a first message in a group is acquired in response to a message viewing operation triggered by a user on the group, not only may the step of acquiring the first message be executed in an unread communication message that has been generated in the group when the message viewing operation is triggered, but also a range of executing acquiring the first message may be extended to a range of the unread communication message that meets a set condition before the message viewing operation is triggered. The setting condition may be, for example: the time interval between the first unread communication message and the last read communication message is less than a set value.

After determining the range for finding the first message, the process of acquiring the first message is performed within the range. In particular, the first message may be retrieved from the communication messages within the group based on characteristic information of the communication messages. The communication message in the group as referred to herein means each communication message included in the range in which the first message is sought. The characteristic information of the communication message may include characteristics of the type, generation time, sender identification, and the like of the communication message. The type of the communication message refers to the representation form of the communication message, such as text, links, pictures, animations, and the like.

In an alternative, where the characteristic information includes a type of the communication message, the non-picture message within the group may be determined to be the first message. That is, a picture type communication message may be filtered out of communication messages within a group, and the remaining other types of communication messages are considered as first messages. The communication message of the picture type comprises a picture and a video.

In another alternative, in a case where the characteristic information includes a type and a generation time of the communication message, a plurality of non-picture messages sequentially generated may be acquired from the communication messages within the group, and then, a target non-picture message may be determined as a first message from the plurality of non-picture messages according to a similarity between the plurality of non-picture messages, wherein the similarity between the target non-picture message and other non-picture messages generated thereafter is higher than a set value, and the similarity between the target non-picture message and other non-picture messages generated previously is lower than the set value. That is to say, the communication messages of the picture type can be filtered out from the communication messages in the group, the remaining communication messages of other types are usually non-picture messages such as plain text messages and link messages, the remaining non-picture messages are sorted according to respective generation time, the similarity between every two messages is calculated, and then the first message is determined according to the distribution characteristics of the similarity corresponding to each non-picture message. The distribution characteristics are represented as: if the similarity between a certain non-picture message and a non-picture message generated earlier than it is lower than a set value but the similarity between a non-picture message generated later than it is higher than a set value, it indicates that the non-picture message is likely to be a new topic originated by a certain user, and thus the non-picture message is regarded as a first message.

In another alternative, where the characteristic information includes a type of communication message and a sender identification, it may be determined that a non-picture message sent by a particular sender within the group is the first message. In practical applications, topic communication is often initiated by a specific administrator or administrators within a group, and therefore, a non-picture message sent by a specific user within a group can be regarded as a first message.

After the first message is determined, it may be further determined whether a plurality of second messages (which may also be referred to as a plurality of screen refreshing messages) related to the first message are generated after the first message is generated, and if the plurality of second messages are generated, the plurality of second messages may be merged to reduce occupation of a chat interface space by the plurality of second messages.

In an alternative embodiment, if a plurality of pictures representing emotions are generated in the group after the first message is generated, the plurality of pictures are determined as a plurality of second messages, so that the plurality of pictures can be arranged horizontally according to the horizontal size of the chat interface. Therefore, the plurality of pictures which are originally vertically arranged are changed into the horizontal arrangement, so that the space size occupied by the plurality of pictures is reduced.

For example, after a user a in the group triggers a message viewing operation, the first message included in the group is determined as follows: congratulating autumn festival of people, after the first message is sent out, a plurality of users send out a plurality of pictures such as praise pictures, blessing pictures and the like in sequence, at the moment, in response to the message viewing operation of the users, the chat interface display effect of the instant messaging application program is as shown in fig. 2: and under the first message, displaying a plurality of pictures in a horizontal arrangement. Further, optionally, sender identifiers corresponding to the plurality of pictures, such as user B, user C, and user D illustrated in fig. 2, may also be displayed in association with the plurality of pictures, respectively.

Optionally, to further reduce the occupation of the second message on the chat interface space, as shown in fig. 3, in the example illustrated in fig. 2, the multiple pictures may be respectively reduced, and especially when the number of the multiple pictures is greater than a preset value, the size of the pictures is reduced, so that more pictures can be arranged horizontally.

Optionally, to further reduce the occupation of the chat interface space by the second message, as shown in fig. 4, in the example illustrated in fig. 2, the multiple pictures may also be subjected to deduplication processing. Assuming that the same praise pictures sent by the user B and the user D and the other expression pictures sent by the user C are the same, the praise pictures sent by the user B and the user D repeatedly can be deduplicated, and only one praise picture is reserved. At this time, the identifications of the user B and the user D may be displayed in association on the retained favorite picture.

Fig. 2 to 4 illustrate the case where the second message is a picture message, and besides, the second message may also be a non-picture message, such as a text message.

Specifically, in another optional embodiment, if a plurality of text messages with similarity greater than a set value between each other are generated in the group after the first message is generated, the plurality of text messages are determined to be a plurality of second messages. At this time, a target text message may be selected from the plurality of text messages, such that the target text message is displayed in the chat interface and other text messages of the plurality of text messages are deleted.

As shown in fig. 5, assume that the first message sent by user a is: congratulate to everybody in mid-autumn festival. After the first message is generated, it is assumed that a plurality of users (user B, user C, and user D illustrated in the figure) respectively send messages such as: mid-autumn festival happy, moon cake festival happy, two reunions of the moon and other text messages. The text messages and the first message have a similarity greater than a set value to each other, so that the text messages are considered as second messages under the first message. At this time, one text message may be randomly selected from the plurality of text messages to be displayed as a target text message. Moreover, a total number of text messages or sender identifications corresponding to each of the plurality of text messages may also be displayed in association with the target text message.

In another optional embodiment, when a plurality of second messages related to the first message are identified based on the foregoing optional embodiments, the merging process of the plurality of second messages may further be implemented as: and extracting sender identifications corresponding to the plurality of second messages respectively, so that when the plurality of combined second messages are displayed, participation information of the first message can be displayed, wherein the participation information comprises the sender identifications corresponding to the plurality of second messages respectively, and the participation information indicates that the senders corresponding to the plurality of second messages respectively participate in the interaction of the first message. For example, as shown in fig. 6, assume that the first message is: and when people are happy at mid-autumn festival, and the plurality of second messages comprise like pictures of praise sent by other users such as the Zhang, the Wang and the plum, and a blessing word of mid-autumn festival, the participation information similar to the interaction that the Zhang, the Wang and the plum participate in the blessing of mid-autumn festival can be displayed.

In summary, by performing topic message identification on the communication messages in the group and further performing screen refreshing message identification on the communication messages under each topic, the screen refreshing messages in the group can be identified, so that the screen refreshing messages are combined to reduce the space occupied by the screen refreshing messages.
