In addition, the terms “a” and “an” are intended to denote at least one of a particular element.

With the development of mobile communication technology, more and more people perform information transmission by sending and receiving messages with a terminal. However, accompanying with the rapid development of terminal message service, many unscrupulous individuals send lots of advertisements, false information, and so on, using the terminal message service. The advertisements and false information are spam messages that a computer user has not asked for and does not want to read. Because the spam messages have brought great trouble to user’s life, even endanger social stability, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for managing spam messages. To facilitate description, other messages except the spam messages are called normal messages in the present disclosure.

Figure 1 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for managing a spam message according to multiple embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in figure 1, the method may include the following operations.

In block 101, it is determined whether a message to be managed, such as a text message or a multimedia message, is a spam message.

In block 102, when it is determined that the message to be managed is a spam message, the spam message is stored in a spam message storage area.

In block 103, the spam message and a normal message stored in a normal message storage area are displayed on a normal message display interface.

In an embodiment, when the message to be managed is a new message, before it is determined whether the message to be managed is a spam message, the method may further include: a new message, such as a text message or a multimedia message, sent by a message server is received, and the new message is taken as a message to be managed.

In another embodiment, when the message to be managed is a normal message stored in the normal message storage area, after the spam message is stored in the spam message storage area, the method may further include: the message to be managed is deleted from the normal message storage area.

In another embodiment, the process of determining whether the message to be managed is a spam message may include the following.

The number for sending the message to be managed is matched with at least one preset spam message number； when the number for sending the message to be managed matches with a preset spam message number, it is determined that the message to be managed is a spam message.

In another embodiment, before it is determined whether the message to be managed is a spam message, the method may further include: at least one spam message number is preset and stored.

In another embodiment, before the spam message and a normal message stored in a normal message storage area are displayed on the normal message display interface, the method may further include the following.

The spam message and other spam messages stored in the spam message storage area are combined into a spam message list entry, and the spam message list entry is added into a normal message list where normal message (s) stored in the normal message storage area are located.

Thus, the spam message and a normal message stored in a normal message storage area are displayed on the normal message display interface may include: the normal message list in which the spam message list entry is added is displayed on the normal message display interface, and a spam message identifier corresponding to the spam message list entry is also displayed on the normal message display interface to identify the spam message list entry. The spam message identifier may be a symbol to mark the spam message list entry distinguished from the normal message. Figure 3a and figure 3b respectively illustrate a spam message identifier according to an example of the present disclosure.

In another embodiment, the spam message and a normal message stored in a normal message storage area are displayed on the normal message display interface may further include the following.

A release instruction of a spam message is obtained, the spam message is deleted from the spam message storage area, and the spam message is taken as a normal message and stored in the normal message storage area.

In the method provided by embodiments of the present disclosure, after a determination is made that a message to be managed is a spam message, the spam message is stored in a spam message storage area, and the spam message and a normal message stored in a normal message storage area are displayed on a normal message display interface. Since it is not necessary to display the spam message on the deep interface, and the spam message may be displayed on the normal message display interface, the spam message management may be achieved on the normal message display interface, thus the management is convenient and efficient.

Figure 2 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for managing a spam message according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in figure 2, the method may include the following operations.

In block 201, it is determined whether a message to be managed is a spam message.

In the block, the message to be managed includes but is not limited to: a normal message stored in the normal message storage area, a new message received in real time, and so on. When the message to be managed is a normal message stored in the normal message storage area, the normal message may be directly obtained from the normal message storage area, and then whether the normal message is a spam message may be determined. When the message to be managed is a new message, before it is determined that whether the new message is a spam message, the method may include and not be limited to: a new message sent by a message server is received, and the new message sent by the message server is taken as a message to be managed, and then a determination is made that whether the new message is a spam message.

Furthermore, it is taken as an embodiment that the message to be managed is a new message, the process of determining whether the message to be managed is a spam message may include the following.

For example, suppose the preset spam message numbers are 123456 and 345678； received new messages are message 1, message 2 and message 3, and the number for sending message 1 is 123456, the number for sending message 2 is 234567, and the number for sending message 3 is 345678. When the numbers for sending the new messages are matched with the present spam message numbers, since the number for sending message 1 is 123456, and 123456 matches with the preset spam message number 123456, it is determined that the new message 1 is a spam message； since the number for sending message 2 is 234567, and 234567 does not match with any one of the preset spam message numbers, it is determined that the new message 2 is not a spam message, namely the new message 2 is a normal message； since the number for sending message 3 is 345678, and 345678 matches with the preset spam message number 345678, it is determined that the new message 3 is a spam message.

It can be known from above mentioned that the preset spam message numbers are an important basis for determining whether the number for sending the message to be managed matches with a preset spam message number, thus before the number for sending the message to be managed is matched with at least one preset spam message number, the embodiment may further include: at least one spam message number is preset.

The manner for presetting at least one spam message number is not limited by the embodiment, for example, includes but is not limited to the followings. A setup interface is provided, and a user may set a number which is a spam message number to the user as a spam message number through the setup interface. A spam message management device may obtain the spam message number set by the user by detecting the setup operation performed by the user on the setup interface, and set the spam message number according to obtained spam message number.

Furthermore, since the spam message numbers preset in the block will be used in subsequent management of spam messages, the method provided by the embodiment, after the at least one spam message number is preset, may further include: the at least one preset spam message number is stored. The manner for storing at least one preset spam message number is not limited by the embodiment, for example, includes but is not limited to the followings. The at least one preset spam message number is stored in a corresponding memory, flash, or other storage medium.

When the message to be managed is a normal message stored in the normal message storage area, since the message to be managed is a normal message, in order to achieve the operation of setting a normal message as a spam message in subsequent management, the method provided by the embodiment may configure a spam message setup option for every normal message. When wanting to set a normal message as a spam message, the user may perform a selection operation on the normal message. When detecting the selection operation performed on the normal message by the user, the spam message management device may display a spam message setup option on the display interface of the normal message； and when detecting that the user selects the spam message setup option, for example, the user may perform an action “check” on the spam message setup option, the spam message management device may determine that the selected normal message is a spam message.

It should be noted that, the at least one spam message number may not be preset every time the method for managing a spam message is executed. The at least one spam message number may be preset when the method for managing a spam message is executed for the first time, and when the method for managing a spam message is executed again, the at least one spam message number first preset may be directly used. Certainly, when it is needed to update the at least one preset spam message number, the step for setting at least one spam message number may be executed again. The number of performing the step for setting at least one spam message number is not limited by the embodiment.

In block 202, when a determination is made that the message to be managed is a spam message, the spam message is stored in a spam message storage area.

To facilitate the management of spam messages, in the method provided by the embodiment, spam messages and normal messages may be respectively stored in different storage areas of a terminal. For example, the spam messages may be stored in a spam message storage area, and the normal messages may be stored in a normal message storage area. Therefore, after it is determined in block 201 that the message to be managed is a spam message, the message to be managed may be stored in the spam message storage area in block 202.

The specific positions of the spam message storage area and the normal message storage area is not limited in the embodiment, as long as the pam message storage area and the normal message storage area may be distinguished.

It should be noted that, when it is determined that a normal message stored in the normal message storage area is a spam message, since the normal message is stored in the normal message storage area before being determined as a spam message, in order to avoid that the normal message determined as a spam message is even taken as a normal message besides as a spam message, the method provided by the embodiment may further includes the following. The normal message determined as a spam message in the normal message storage area is deleted from the normal message storage area.

In block 203, the spam message and a normal message stored in a normal message storage area are displayed on a normal message display interface.

To facilitate viewing and managing spam messages, in the method provided by the embodiment, after the spam message is stored in the spam message storage area, the spam message may be displayed on a normal message display interface, so that the spam message and normal messages stored in the normal message storage area may be displayed on the normal message display interface, thus the management of spam messages is convenient. Specifically, all spam messages stored in the spam message storage area may be added in a normal message list where normal message (s) stored in the normal message storage area is (are) located in an order of receipt time of the spam messages, as shown in figure 4a. Each spam message may be displayed in the normal message list as a spam message list entry. The message list entry is a display item on the normal message display interface. The normal message display interface also needs to display a normal message list entry besides the spam message list entry. Either the spam message list entry or the normal message list entry, each message list entry may include all messages sent with the same one number. When it is detected that one message list entry is selected, all messages included in the selected message list entry may be displayed. The display manner may be a conventional message display manner or other display manner, which is not limited by the embodiment.

In another embodiment, because multiple spam messages may be stored in the spam message storage area, when all these spam messages are directly displayed in the normal message list, it is inconvenient to perform classified management on the messages. Therefore, before the spam message and a normal message stored in a normal message storage area are displayed on a normal message display interface, the message to be managed and other spam messages stored in the spam message storage area may be combined into a spam message list entry.

When a spam message is displayed on the normal message display interface, in order to distinguish the spam message from a normal message, the method provided by the embodiment may further include some pre-processing operations before the spam message is displayed on the normal message display interface. Specifically, the pre-processing operations may include but be not limited to the following processes.

After above mentioned pre-processing operations, the step for displaying the spam message and a normal message stored in a normal message storage area on the normal message display interface may include but be not limited to the followings.

The normal message list in which the spam message list entry is added is displayed on the normal message display interface.

Specifically, since the normal message list also includes a normal message list entry as well as the spam message list entry, and each message list entry includes at least one message, and either a spam message or a normal message includes the receipt time thereof, the message list entries may be sorted according to the receipt time of a latest message included in each message list entry, and the message list entries may be displayed in a sorted order. In addition, because the spam messages are useless for the user, the spam message list entry may be displayed in the last of the normal message list.

To facilitate understanding, above mentioned process will be described with reference to a specific embodiment hereinafter.

As shown in figure 4b, the message list entries displayed on the normal message list include message list entry named as “normal message one” , message list entry named as “normal message two” , message list entry named as “normal message three” and message list entry named as “spam message four” . The message list entry named as “spam message four” may be determined as a spam message list entry according to the name of each message list entry. The receipt time of a latest message included in the message list entry named as “normal message one” is 10: 00, the receipt time of a latest message included in the message list entry named as “normal message two” is 9: 00, and the receipt time of a latest message included in the message list entry named as “normal message three” is 8: 00. When the normal message list entries are displayed in a sorted order according to the receipt time of latest messages included in the message list entries, the message list entry named as “normal message one” is displayed at the top of the normal message list, the message list entry named as “normal message two” is displayed below the message list entry named as “normal message one” , the message list entry named as “normal message three” is displayed below the message list entry named as “normal message two” . The message list entry named as “spam message four” is displayed at the last of the entire list. The message list entry named as “spam message four” may include all spam messages.

In another embodiment, in order to facilitate a user to distinguish a spam message and a normal message, a spam message identifier corresponding to a spam message list entry may be further displayed. When the spam message identifier is displayed, a spam message identifier corresponding to a spam message list entry may be displayed on the normal message list in which the spam message list entry is added. The spam message identifier corresponding to the spam message list entry is not limited by the embodiment. For example, the spam message list entry may be marked as a spam message, or marked with a symbol, such as, an asterisk or a pound sign.

In block 204, a release instruction of a spam message is obtained, the spam message is deleted from the spam message storage area, and the spam message is taken as a normal message and stored in the normal message storage area.

Block 204 is optional. Since when a spam message is determined according to a spam message number preset by the user, and over time, the message which is originally taken as a spam message may no longer be the spam message for the user, it is necessary to change the message from spam message to normal message. Specifically, when the message is to be changed from spam message to normal message, it is necessary to obtain a release instruction of the spam message first, and delete the message which is changed from spam message to normal message from the spam message storage area according to the release instruction, and store the message in the normal message storage area.

The method for obtaining the release instruction of a spam message is not limited by the embodiment, for example, includes but is not limited to: a release option corresponding to the spam message is provided, when the release option is selected by the user, a terminal obtain a release instruction of the spam message according to the selection operation of the user. Besides, the release operation may be further performed on the preset spam message number, so as to change the preset spam message number to normal message number. The method for changing the preset spam message number to normal message number is also not limited by the embodiment. When a preset spam message number is changed to a normal message number, a released normal message number is obtained. Messages sent based on the released normal message number before being released are spam messages, when the released normal message number after being released is received, spam messages sent based on the released normal message number before being released are changed to be normal messages, and messages sent based on the released normal message number after being released are normal messages.

In the method provided by embodiments of the present disclosure, after a message to be managed is determined as a spam message, the spam message is stored in a spam message storage area, and the spam message and a normal message stored in a normal message storage area are displayed on a normal message display interface. Since it is not necessary to display the spam message on the deep interface, and the spam message may be displayed on the normal message display interface, the spam message management may be achieved on the normal message display interface, thus the management is convenient and efficient.
