Wherein, although the logic sequence of the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is shown in the method flow chart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than here. For example, the communication method shown in Figure 2 may include S201-S203:

S201. The terminal receives a first operation of a user.

Wherein, the first operation is an operation of triggering the terminal to generate the first communication group.

It should be noted that the terminal provided in the embodiment of the present invention may have a touch screen, and the touch screen may be used to receive an operation of a user, and display content corresponding to the operation to the user in response to the operation. Wherein, the above-mentioned first operation may be a touch screen operation, a fingerprint operation, a gravity operation, a button operation, and the like. The touch screen operation refers to operations such as pressing operation, long pressing operation, sliding operation, clicking operation, and hovering operation (operation performed by the user near the touch screen) on the touch screen of the terminal by the user. The fingerprint operation refers to the user's operations on the terminal's fingerprint reader, such as swiping fingerprints, long-pressing fingerprints, single-clicking fingerprints, and double-clicking fingerprints. Gravity operation refers to operations such as shaking the terminal in a specific direction or a specific number of times by the user. The button operation corresponds to the user's operations such as single-click operation, double-click operation, long-press operation, and combined button operation on the power button, volume button, and Home button of the terminal. Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the manner of the first operation, and may be any implementable manner.

In response to the first operation, the terminal generates a first communication group, the first communication group includes at least a first communication object and a second communication object, the first communication object is a communication object corresponding to the first type of application, and the second communication object The communication object is a communication object corresponding to the second type of application.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned first-type applications and the second-type applications are both communication-type applications, and the above-mentioned first-type applications and the second-type applications are of different types.

It can be understood that, among the plurality of communication applications of the same type, each communication application corresponds to an account, and the accounts corresponding to each communication application among the plurality of communication applications are different; the accounts corresponding to different types of communication applications are also different. Wherein, a communication object provided by the embodiment of the present invention is an account corresponding to a type of communication application. Wherein, multiple types of communication applications may be installed in one terminal. The types of communication applications installed in different terminals are the same or different. All communication applications that need to transmit messages are installed in the terminal provided in the embodiment of the present invention.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned first communication group includes the owner communication object corresponding to the first type of application (denoted as communication object 1) and the owner communication object corresponding to the second type of application (denoted as communication object 2).

Specifically, the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be applied in the following four scenarios:

Scenario 1. Both the first communication object and the second communication object provided by the embodiment of the present invention are communication objects corresponding to the owner and user, that is, the first communication object is the above-mentioned communication object 1 and the second communication object is the above-mentioned communication object 2 .

At this time, the first communication group generated by the terminal includes at least the communication object 1 and the communication object 2 .

Scenario 2. The first communication object provided by the embodiment of the present invention is not the communication object corresponding to the owner user, and the second communication is the communication object corresponding to the owner user, that is, the first communication object is not the communication object 1 above and the second communication object is the above communication object 2.

At this time, the first communication group generated by the terminal includes at least the above-mentioned first communication object (denoted as communication object 3 ), the above-mentioned communication object 1 and communication object 2 . Wherein, after the terminal receives the first operation, that is, after the user controls the terminal to add the communication object 3 and the communication object 2 to the first communication group, the terminal can automatically add the communication object 1 to the first communication group.

Scenario 3. The first communication object provided by the embodiment of the present invention is the communication object corresponding to the owner and the user, and the second communication is not the communication object corresponding to the owner and user, that is, the first communication object is the above-mentioned communication object 1 and the second communication object Not the communication partner 2 above.

At this time, the first communication group generated by the terminal includes at least the second communication object (denoted as communication object 4 ) and the above-mentioned communication object 1 and communication object 2 . Wherein, after the terminal receives the first operation, that is, after the user controls the terminal to add the communication object 1 and the communication object 4 to the first communication group, it can automatically add the communication object 2 to the first communication group.

Scenario 4. The first communication object and the second communication object provided by the embodiment of the present invention are not the communication object corresponding to the owner and user, that is, the first communication object is not the above-mentioned communication object 1 and the second communication object is not the above-mentioned communication object 2.

At this time, the first communication group generated by the terminal includes at least communication object 1 and communication object 2, as well as the above-mentioned first communication object (ie, communication object 3) and the above-mentioned second communication object (ie, communication object 4). Wherein, after the terminal receives the first operation, that is, after the user controls the terminal to add the communication object 3 and the communication object 4 to the above-mentioned first communication group, the terminal can automatically add the above-mentioned communication object 1 and communication object 2 to the first communication group. in the group.

S203. The terminal controls the first communication object and the second communication object to transmit messages in the first communication group.

It can be understood that each communication object in the first communication group can transmit messages in the first communication group.

Generally speaking, multiple communication objects corresponding to a communication application of the same type transmit messages through a server corresponding to the communication application. Exemplarily, messages are transmitted between multiple communication objects corresponding to the first type of application through the server corresponding to the first type of application (denoted as server 1); messages between multiple communication objects corresponding to the second type of application are transmitted through the second The server corresponding to the class application (denoted as server 2).

It should be emphasized that, in the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, messages are transmitted between multiple communication objects in the terminal through corresponding servers. Specifically, the message transmission between the above-mentioned communication object 1 and the above-mentioned communication object 2 may be through the above-mentioned server 1 and the above-mentioned server 2 .

Similarly, the user may control the terminal to generate multiple communication groups including the above-mentioned first communication group, and control the communication objects in each communication group to transmit messages respectively.

In addition, the message provided in the embodiment of the present invention may include text, picture, video, compressed file, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

It should be noted that, in the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal can establish a communication group for communication objects in different types of communication applications, so that different types of communication objects can transmit messages through the communication group. In this way, the terminal can interact with different types of communication applications to transmit messages. Therefore, even if the types of the two communication applications are different, messages can be transmitted between the two communication applications, which improves the flexibility of terminal communication.

In a possible implementation manner, the foregoing first operation may specifically be input by the user in a terminal-specific interface. Specifically, the above S201 can be replaced by S201a:

S201a. When the terminal displays the group setting interface, receive a first operation of the user.

Wherein, the group setting interface is used for the user to set up a communication group. The above-mentioned group setting interface is the interface of the first type of application, or the group setting interface is the interface of the second type of application, or the above-mentioned group setting interface is the interface of the third type of application, or the group setting interface is the terminal group An interface of a group engine, the group engine is used for associating communication objects corresponding to different types of communication applications. Wherein, the above third type of application is another type of communication application installed in the terminal besides the above first type of application and the second type of application.

Exemplarily, the user can control the terminal to create a communication group on the above-mentioned group setting interface, and set the communication group, such as setting the communication objects in the communication group and the status of the communication group (such as the creation status ), and allocate a storage area for the messages transmitted in the communication group. It can be understood that when the above-mentioned group setting interface is an interface of a communication application (denoted as communication application 1) in the terminal, the communication application may include an engine that integrates the resources of each communication application installed in the terminal, that is, an engine installed in the associated terminal The communication objects corresponding to each communication application of the above-mentioned first communication group are generated.

Specifically, the group engine of the terminal is used to associate communication objects corresponding to various communication applications installed in the terminal to generate the first communication group, and the group chat engine may be provided by the setting application of the terminal.

Optionally, the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include: before the terminal displays the group setting interface, the terminal receives an operation triggered by the user to trigger the terminal to display the group setting interface.

Exemplarily, the above-mentioned user's operation of triggering the terminal to display the group setting interface may be the user's operation in the above-mentioned communication application 1, or the user's operation in the terminal's setting application.

It should be noted that, in the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal can provide multiple ways to display the group setting interface, so as to support the user to control the terminal to generate the communication group required by the user. In this way, even if the terminal does not support one of the above-mentioned multiple ways, the terminal may provide the user with the above-mentioned group setting interface in other ways. For example, even if the communication application of the terminal cannot provide the above-mentioned group setting interface, the group engine of the terminal can also provide the above-mentioned group setting interface. Therefore, it is beneficial to improve the flexibility of terminal communication.

In a possible implementation, the first operation is that the user controls the terminal to select the first communication object from the first object list corresponding to the first type of application, and select the second communication object from the second object list corresponding to the second type of application. The operation of the communication object; or, the first operation is an operation in which the user controls the terminal to select the second communication group from the first type of application and select the third communication group from the second type of application, and the second communication group includes at least The first communication object and the third communication group include at least the second communication object.

Wherein, in combination with the above-mentioned embodiment, in the case that the above-mentioned group setting interface is an interface of the first type of application, the first type of application has a function of integrating resources of different types of communication applications. For example, the first type of application can not only access the address book of the first type of application (that is, the above-mentioned first object list) and the communication list of the first type of application (including the group list of the above-mentioned second communication group), but also Access the address book of the second type of application (that is, the above-mentioned second object list) and the communication list of the second type of application (including the group list of the above-mentioned third communication group).

Exemplarily, the above-mentioned first operation may specifically be that the user selects the option "initiate a group chat" in the group setting interface provided by the first type of application, so that the terminal displays the above-mentioned first object list and the above-mentioned second object list; and then The user selects the first communication object in the first object list, and selects the second communication object in the second object list. Alternatively, the above-mentioned first operation may specifically be that the user selects the option "initiate a group chat" in the group setting interface provided by the first type of application, so that the terminal displays the above-mentioned list including the second communication group and the list including the third communication group. A list of groups; then the user selects the second communication group, and selects the third communication group.

Similarly, in the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned group setting interface is described as an interface of other types of communication applications (such as the second type of application) other than the above-mentioned first type of application. I won't go into details here.

Wherein, in combination with the above-mentioned embodiment, in the case that the above-mentioned group setting interface is an interface of a group engine of the terminal, the group engine has a function of integrating resources of different types of communication applications. For example, the group engine in the terminal can access the address book of the communication application (such as the first type of application and the second type of application, etc.) and the communication list of the communication application.

Specifically, the above-mentioned group engine may be a function in the setting application of the terminal, and the group engine may be minimized as a floating option displayed on each interface of the terminal. When the user controls the terminal to create the above-mentioned first communication group, the floating option can be clicked, so that the interface of the group engine is displayed in a floating state in the form of maximizing the current interface of the terminal, or the interface of the group engine is displayed on the terminal's All areas of the current interface are displayed.

Exemplarily, the interface of the above-mentioned group engine is floating and displayed in a maximized form on the current interface of the terminal. Wherein, the current interface may be an interface of each communication application, such as an interface displaying a first object list in a first type application, or an interface displaying a second object list in a second type application. At this time, the above-mentioned first operation may specifically be that the user drags the first communication object in the above-mentioned first object list to the interface of the group engine, and drags the first communication object in the above-mentioned second object list to the group engine interface. The interface of the group engine.

Alternatively, the current interface of the terminal may be an interface displaying the second communication group in the first type of application, or an interface displaying the second communication group in the second type of application. At this time, the above-mentioned first operation may specifically be that the user drags the above-mentioned second communication group to the interface of the group engine, and drags the above-mentioned third communication group to the interface of the group engine.

It is conceivable that the first operation may also be an operation in which the user controls the terminal to select the first communication object from the first object list corresponding to the first type of application, and select the third communication group from the second type of application; or, The first operation is an operation in which the user controls the terminal to select the second communication group from the first type of application, and selects the second communication object from the second object list corresponding to the second type of application, which will not be described in detail in the embodiment of the present invention. describe.

It should be noted that, in the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal can provide multiple operation modes that support the user to control the terminal to generate a communication group. In this way, it is beneficial for the user to control the terminal to generate a communication group using an operation mode that conforms to the user's habits or preferences, which is conducive to improving the flexibility of terminal communication, and improving the user experience in the process of user controlling the terminal communication.

In a possible implementation manner, the communication method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S204 and S205 after the foregoing S202. As shown in FIG. 3 , it is a schematic flowchart of another communication method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the method shown in FIG. 3 may further include S204 and S205 after the above S202 and before S203:

S204. The terminal receives a second operation of the user, where the second operation is an operation triggered by the user to select a third communication object.

Wherein, the third communication object is a communication object corresponding to the first type of application, or the third communication object is a communication object corresponding to the second type of application, or the third communication object is a terminal other than the first type of application and the second type of application The communication object corresponding to the external communication application.

Similarly, for the description of the second operation in this embodiment of the present invention, reference may be made to the relevant description of the first operation in the above embodiment, and details are not repeated here.

S205. In response to the second operation, the terminal adds the third communication object to the first communication group.

Similarly, after the user controls the terminal to generate a communication group (such as the first communication group), he can also control the terminal to delete the communication object in the communication group, such as deleting the third communication object in the above-mentioned first communication group .

It should be noted that after the user controls the terminal to generate a communication group (such as the first communication group), he can also control the terminal to add a new communication object in the communication group, and control the terminal to delete the communication group in the communication group. communication object. In this way, the terminal can generate a communication group that meets the needs of the user, which is conducive to improving the flexibility of terminal communication and improving user experience in the process of user controlling terminal communication.

In a possible implementation manner, in the communication method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the message transmitted by the user control terminal through the first communication group may be the message sent by the terminal through the communication group. Specifically, in the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the above S203 may include S206-S208.

S206. When the terminal displays the interactive interface corresponding to the first communication group, the terminal receives a third operation of the user, where the third operation is an operation of the user inputting the first message in the interactive interface.

Wherein, the interactive interface corresponding to the above-mentioned first communication group is an interface for the terminal to display messages sent and received by the first communication group.

Similarly, for the specific form of the above third operation, reference may be made to the relevant description of the first operation in the above embodiment, and details are not repeated here.

S207. The terminal receives a fourth operation of the user, where the fourth operation is used to trigger the terminal to display the first message.

Similarly, for the specific form of the above fourth operation, reference may be made to the related description of the first operation in the above embodiment, and details are not repeated here.

Wherein, the interactive interface corresponding to the above-mentioned first communication group may include a "send" option, and the above-mentioned fourth operation may specifically be the user's operation on the "send" option, so that the terminal sends the host user to the first communication group respectively. The corresponding communication object sends the first message; after the terminal sends the first message, the interactive interface corresponding to the first communication group displays the first message. Wherein, the first message displayed by the terminal includes an unsuccessfully sent first message or a successfully sent first message.

S208. In response to the fourth operation, the terminal adds a first identifier to the first message, and displays the first message on the interactive interface, where the first identifier is used to indicate a primary communication object, and the primary communication object is a group owner of the first communication group.

Wherein, the above-mentioned main communication object is a communication object corresponding to a machine owner user. In the case that the main communication object is the group owner of the first communication group, the main communication object (ie, the terminal corresponding to the main communication object) has the authority to add and delete communication objects in the first communication group. Wherein, the main communication object of the first communication group is the first communication object or the second communication object.

Optionally, the above-mentioned main communication object may be set by the user, or the main communication object may be automatically set by the terminal.

It can be understood that the first communication object and the second communication object may correspond to different types of communication applications, and the first communication object and the second communication object may be in different communication groups at the same time. Therefore, when generating the first communication group, the terminal may add an identifier for uniquely identifying the communication object to the communication object in the first communication group. In this way, the terminal can accurately distinguish which communication object sent the message transmitted in the first communication group, which is beneficial to improve the flexibility of terminal communication.

Optionally, the terminal may display the area of the first message on the above-mentioned interactive interface, and may also display information such as the avatar, nickname, account number, and identification of the first communication group of the first communication object.

Optionally, after the terminal displays the first message on the interactive interface of the first communication group, in the communication application corresponding to a communication object in the first communication group other than the main communication object, the information of the first communication group may be displayed. Another interactive interface, and display the above-mentioned first message on the another interactive interface.

Optionally, when the phone owner user does not need to transmit messages through the first communication group, the phone owner user may control the terminal to delete the first communication group. At this point, the owner user can control the terminal to choose whether to delete the history record corresponding to the first communication group. When the owner user can control the terminal not to delete the history record corresponding to the first communication group, the terminal can set the first communication group to a disabled state.

It should be noted that the first message subsequently saved by the terminal is a message carrying the first identifier, so that the terminal can accurately determine that the first message is sent by the main communication object. Therefore, it is beneficial to improve the flexibility of terminal communication.

In a possible implementation, in the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the user controls the message transmitted by the terminal through each communication object in the first communication group, which can be used for the terminal to control the communication object corresponding to the terminal in the communication Messages received in the group. Specifically, in the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the above S203 may include S209 and S210:

S209. The terminal receives a second message, where the second message carries a second identifier, and the second identifier is a secondary communication object in the first communication group that sends the second message.

Wherein, the secondary communication object sending the second message in the above-mentioned first communication group is a communication object in the first communication group except the main communication object (referred to as the sending side communication object), such as the above-mentioned communication object 3 or communication Object 4.

S210. The terminal displays the second message on the interactive interface corresponding to the first communication group.

Optionally, the terminal may display the area of the second message on the above-mentioned interactive interface, and may also display information such as the avatar, nickname, account number, and identification of the first communication group of the above-mentioned sender-side communication partner.

It can be understood that, in the communication method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the above S209 and S210 may be performed before or after S208 in the above embodiment. For example, the above S203 may include S206, S207, S208, S209 and S210.

It should be noted that the second message subsequently saved by the terminal is a message carrying the second identifier, so that the terminal can accurately determine which communication partner sent the second message. Therefore, it is beneficial to improve the flexibility of terminal communication.

In a possible implementation manner, the communication method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may further include S211 after the above S208 or S210:

S211. If the terminal does not display a message on the interactive interface within the preset time, after the preset time, the terminal saves the message displayed on the interactive interface before the preset time, and sets the first communication group as an inactive state.

It should be noted that, when the terminal transmits a message through the first communication group, the terminal is in an active state. At this time, the terminal may monitor whether there is a message to be transmitted in the first communication group, and may transmit the message through a server corresponding to the first communication group.

It can be understood that, within a preset time (for example, 30 minutes), the above-mentioned interactive interface of the terminal does not display a message, indicating that the terminal does not transmit a message through the first communication group within the preset time. For example, the terminal does not display a message on the interactive interface within a preset time after sending and displaying the first message; or, the terminal does not display a message on the interactive interface within a preset time after receiving and displaying the second message.

Subsequently, after the preset time, the terminal may save the messages (such as the first message and the second message) displayed on the interactive interface before the preset time, and set the first communication group as an inactive state. At this time, the terminal will not monitor whether there is a message to be transmitted in the first communication group, nor will it access the server corresponding to the first communication group, such as the server corresponding to the communication object on the sending side in the first communication group.
