Detailed ways

In the process of instant message interaction, because the server sends the messages of both parties to the recipient in chronological order, the interaction information of the two parties is usually presented in the client in chronological order. For example, a message from the receiver is displayed in the middle of two messages sent by the sender. If the two messages from the sender express a complete meaning, ambiguity and misunderstanding are prone to occur after being interrupted.

In order to solve the above problems, embodiments of the present invention provide an instant message display method and apparatus. Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined with each other if there is no conflict.

First, the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

An embodiment of the present invention provides an instant message display system, as shown in FIG. 1 , including: a sending end, a server, and a receiving end, which are connected through a cellular network, wired connection, WIFI, Bluetooth and other network communication connections to form an end-to-end Communication network equipment. In some systems, there is no server involved in the business process, and end-to-end transparent transmission is achieved through the network. The interactive information between users may be multimedia information such as text and pictures. The sending end and the receiving end may be mobile terminals, or may be other devices such as PCs that can be loaded with clients to complete corresponding functions. In the embodiment of the present invention, a system including a server is used as an example for description.

The application scenarios of the embodiments of the present invention are as follows:

User A and User B chat online through a messaging client. User A sends what she wants to say in two messages, but User B responds quickly. The message sent by User B is inserted between the two messages of User A. At present, the existing chat software is usually displayed in the following form according to the chronological order of the messages:

Message 1: "10:31 User A: I went shopping and bought a piece of clothing today"

Message 2: "10:32 User B: I also bought a sweater"

Message 3: "10:32 User A: That sucks".

Originally, user A was evaluating the clothes he bought. However, user B's message is inserted between the two messages of user A, which will cause user B to misunderstand. In actual use, user A has to explain again. If two messages of user A can be continuously displayed on both clients through technical means, the user experience can be greatly improved.

The above problems can be solved by using the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention, and the display position of the message 3 can be adjusted to be displayed between the message 1 and the message 2 . Because the display order of instant messages is displayed in sequence according to the actual sending time of instant messages by default, the display position can be located in the client by using the time information of instant messages. In the present invention, adjusting the display position of instant messages is actually adjusting The order in which instant messages are displayed in the client. Usually the client will display the time information of the sent and received messages when displaying user interaction messages. For example, after a message is sent successfully, the user interface will not only display the message, but also display the sending time (generally, the sending time is the actual sending time of sending the instant message, and the actual sending time may be the system time of the sender, or It may be the system time of the server, please refer to the system settings for details. The actual sending time may be the time when the sender sends the message (or the time when the message is sent successfully), or the time when the server receives the message sent by the sender.). When the server receives the instant message and sends the instant message to the receiver, it also sends the time information to the receiver, and the receiver displays the received instant message and the sending time of the instant message at the sender. Usually, the display of messages is sorted according to this time information, so the location of the message can be located by the time when the message was sent.

Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The application scenario of Embodiment 1 of the present invention is as follows:

User A sends two messages, but receives a message from User B between the two message displays. User A wishes to adjust the second message sent by himself to be displayed immediately after the first message.

The process of using the instant message display method provided by the embodiment of the present invention to complete the adjustment of the display position of the sent instant message is shown in FIG. 2 , including:

Step 201: The sending end acquires the actual sending time of the sent instant message whose display position is to be adjusted and the time information that can locate its destination display position.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the user selects to adjust the display position of the second sent instant message as an example for description.

The actual sending time of the first sent instant message (hereinafter referred to as the first message) is T1, and the actual sending time of the second sent instant message (hereinafter referred to as the second message) is T2, then send The terminal can obtain the two actual sending times in the message list.

Select the second sent instant message through the user's operation, and obtain the actual sending time of the second sent instant message. information. Then select the time information that can locate the new position to be adjusted in the second message through the user operation, for example, use the actual sending time information of the first message to mark the destination location, and the indicated time information of the destination location informs the receiving end, the receiving end to know the new location. Further, the display command of the second message can be obtained (the display command is issued by user operation). For example, on a touch screen terminal, the user clicks on the second message and drags it over the message of user B to the first message. The client can obtain T1, T2, and the message that requires T2 to be displayed after the T1 message. This shows the command. If the second message is dragged before the first message, the client will get the display command that requires the T2 message to be displayed before the T1 message. This display command can be represented by an indicator and inform the receiver, mainly indicating whether the second message is presented before or after the destination. Or by convention, this indicator does not need to be sent. If no other message is displayed at the location indicated by the time information of the destination display location, this indication flag is also not required.

The sender can change the presentation mode of the second message when the user operates, for example, display the second message immediately after the first message.

There are many ways to determine the destination display location. The user can determine the destination display location through some operation, such as clicking on the sent message, selecting a function such as "Modify Display Location" from the pop-up menu, and then selecting a location. Execute "move to here"; or click the sent message and drag it directly to a destination. Similarly, there are many ways to determine the time information that can locate the destination display position, or directly input a time to mark the destination display location with this time; or use the time interval formed by the sending time of other two adjacent sent messages to locate ; Or use any time in this time interval to locate, or directly use the sending time of a sent message to locate (in this case, you need to specify whether it is before or after the message that can be located). The implementation manners that can achieve the effect of selecting the target display position are all within the protection scope of the present invention, and will not be listed and described here.

Step 202: The sender sends the actual sending time of the instant message whose display position is to be adjusted and the time information of the destination display position to the receiver.

In this step, the time information includes the actual sending time of the instant message whose display position is to be adjusted and the time information corresponding to the destination display position. In this way, the receiving end can determine the corresponding instant message according to the actual sending time, and then determine the destination display location according to the time information corresponding to the destination display location, so as to complete the display of the instant message at the destination display location without the need to re-display the content of the instant message. send.

Step 203: The sending end and the receiving end redisplay the instant message sent by the sending end according to the destination display position.

The sender and the receiver redisplay the previously displayed instant message according to the instruction, for example, move the displayed position of the second message to immediately after the first message.

The second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

An embodiment of the present invention provides an instant message display method, which can display the message to be sent at a designated destination after being sent. The specific process is shown in FIG. 3 and includes:

Step 301: The sender obtains time information that can locate the destination display position of the message to be sent. If the sender needs to insert the instant message to be sent before (or after) the sent message, it can obtain the time information of the sent message at the position where it wants to insert. Or obtain the time interval formed by the sending times of two adjacent sent messages to locate the destination display position; or use any time in this time interval to locate the destination display location. If the time information of the sent message is used to locate the destination display position, there is also an indication mark to indicate whether it is before or after the sent message. If the system has an agreement, this indicator need not be sent. If it is a time interval formed by the sending time of two adjacent sent messages or any moment in the time interval, it can also be located directly without the need for an indicator.

Step 302: The sender carries the time information of the corresponding destination display position when sending the instant message to be sent.

In this step, by carrying the time information of the destination display position, the receiver can be notified, and a new message can be displayed at the destination display position. If the sender also sends the indication signs before and after the destination display position, the receiver can also insert the instant message sent by the sender before (or after) the message corresponding to the destination display position.

Step 303: The sender and the receiver display the new instant message at the destination display position.

In the embodiment of the present invention, by using the actual sending time of the sent message, a new instant message can be inserted before/after the sent message, so as to improve user experience.

For example, in this scenario: User A prepares to send what he wants to say into several messages, and receives a feedback message from User B before User A has sent all the messages. Sometimes, in order to avoid incomplete expression or avoid misunderstanding by the other party, it is necessary to insert a new message before user B's message and immediately follow the message that he has sent. Then the implementation steps of this solution are as follows:

Step 1: User A obtains the actual sending time of the sent message through the client when inserting the message before/after the sent message.

For example, for a current touch screen terminal, a user can perform some insertion actions on the user interface, for example, a sliding operation can be performed on a displayed message, or an action of inserting a new message can be performed by using multi-touch sliding on two displayed messages. Of course, these actions can also be performed in other ways, such as user menus and buttons. When the action of inserting a new message is performed before/after the sent message, the client can obtain the actual sending time of the sent message or the time interval formed by the actual sending time of two adjacent sent messages, or the time interval within the time interval. The time information of the location is displayed at any time as the destination. .

Step 2: The time information of the corresponding destination display position is carried when the instant message to be sent is sent.

After the user completes editing the instant message to be sent, the corresponding destination display location time information is carried when sending. For example, a field or flag is set in the message header to store this time information. This time information is usually not displayed with the content of new messages.

Step 3: The client displays the instant message (which has now become sent) according to the destination display position.

When the receiver receives the instant message, it detects whether the instant message contains the corresponding time information, and if so, displays the received instant message according to the destination display position corresponding to the time information. The sender can also display according to the destination display position when executing the insert instruction, editing or sending.

In this way, by using the time information of the instant message, it is possible to insert a new message at a specified position, or to move the display position order of the messages that have been sent. Further, routine operations such as editing/deleting the sent instant messages can also be performed. For example, if the user double-clicks a sent instant message to enter the editing mode for editing, and then resends it after editing, but carries the information of its last actual sending time, then the receiver can know that the last instant message was updated. , instead of being displayed as a regular new instant message reception. This kind of carrying can locate the actual sending time information of the sent message, and can realize editing operations such as deletion and update of the sent message, which can greatly improve the user experience for users who interact with the message client.

In the above embodiment, the client obtains time information capable of locating the target display position, and sends a special message instruction containing the time information, so that the display order of new messages or sent messages can be changed at the sending and receiving end, and the user experience is improved. .

The third embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The embodiment of the present invention provides an instant message display method, and the instant message can be displayed according to the position designated by the customer by using the method, and the user experience is improved.

The process of using this method to adjust the display position of the instant message is shown in Figure 4, including:

Step 401: the sender determines the time information of the destination display position of the instant message, where the time information indicates the time before the current moment;

The instant messages involved in the embodiments of the present invention may be instant messages to be sent (ie, instant messages that have not yet been sent) and instant messages that have been sent (ie, instant messages that have been received and displayed by the receiver).

In this embodiment of the present invention, a destination display location can be selected as the location for displaying the corresponding instant message, the destination display location can be calibrated by time or time interval, and the corresponding time or time interval is used as the time information of the destination display location. Generally, the time information indicates the time before the current time.

This step specifically includes:

1. The sending end receives the time information indication generated by the user operation, and the time information indication carries the display time corresponding to the destination display position or the time interval in which the instant message can be displayed;

2. The sender uses the display time as the time information of the destination display position, or,

Select any time from the time interval as the time information of the destination display location, or,

Using the time interval as the destination display position time information.

Step 402: the sender notifies the receiver of the instant message of the time information of the destination display position of the instant message, and instructs the receiver to display the instant message at the destination display position according to the time information;

In this step, for the instant message to be sent, when the instant message to be sent is sent to the receiving end, the time information of the destination display location for sending the instant message is carried, and the receiving end is instructed according to the The instant message is displayed according to the time information of the destination display location.

For the sent first instant message, send the actual sending time of the sent first instant message and the time information of the destination display location to the receiving end, instructing the receiving end to display the location according to the destination The time information shows the first instant message corresponding to the actual sending time.

Preferably, the sender also displays the instant message according to the destination display position.

Preferably, when notifying the receiver of the instant message of the time information of the destination display position of the instant message, an indication flag may also be sent at the same time. When there is a second instant message, and the display position of the second instant message is the destination display position, the indicator sign instructs the receiver to display the instant message before or after the second instant message.

Preferably, the instant message can also be displayed before or after the second instant message according to the agreement of the service system, or the agreement between the sender and the receiver.

Step 403: the receiving end receives the time information of the destination display position of the instant message sent by the transmitting end, where the time information indicates the time before the current moment;

In this step, for the instant message just sent by the sender, the instant message sent by the sender is received at the same time as the time information of the destination display position of the instant message sent by the sender.

In this step, for the instant message previously sent by the sender, the actual sending time of the instant message sent by the sender is received at the same time as the time information of the destination display position of the instant message sent by the sender.

Preferably, while receiving the time information of the destination display position of the instant message sent by the sender, an indication sign sent by the sender is received, and the indication sign instructs the receiver to display the instant message before the destination display position or after.

Preferably, the instant message may be displayed before or after the destination display position according to a system agreement or an agreement with the sender.

Step 404: The receiving end displays the instant message in the destination display position according to the time information.

In this step, when the time information is a specific time, the position is displayed for the purpose of the position corresponding to the specific time, or,

When the time information is a time interval, selecting a position corresponding to any time in the time interval as the destination display position;

The instant message is displayed at the destination display location.

When a corresponding message is already displayed at the destination display location, the instant message is selected to be displayed before or after the destination display location according to the indicator or an agreement with the sender.

For the instant message previously sent by the sender, before determining the destination display position in this step, the corresponding instant message needs to be determined according to the actual sending time.
