Message display method and device

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a message display method and device.

Background Art

With the continuous development of communication technology, people can exchange information through various means such as email, short messages (SMS), and instant messaging (IM). When users receive communication messages, they can usually browse through them one by one to select useful or interesting unread messages. However, this one-by-one browsing method is obviously inefficient, especially when there are a large number of unread messages, such as in a "Group Chat" messaging interface where messages come from many users, or when a user has not checked many unread messages for a long time. This inefficiency is even more prominent.

Summary of the Invention

In view of this, the present application provides a new technical solution that can solve the technical problem of low efficiency in viewing unread messages in the related art.

To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solutions:

According to a first aspect of the present application, a message display method is proposed, comprising:

When a first trigger operation of the user on the terminal screen is detected, unread messages corresponding to the message communication interface displayed on the terminal screen are filtered according to preset conditions;

Only the filtered unread messages are displayed in the message communication interface.

According to a second aspect of the present application, a message display device is provided, comprising:

a screening unit, which, when detecting a first triggering operation of a user on a terminal screen, screens unread messages corresponding to a message communication interface displayed on the terminal screen according to preset conditions;

The display unit displays only the filtered unread messages in the message communication interface.

It can be seen from the above technical solutions that this application filters unread messages when actively triggered by the user, thereby helping the user to quickly view useful or interesting unread messages and improve the user's reading efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

To further illustrate this application, the following examples are provided:

Please refer to FIG1 , which shows a message display method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, which can be applied to a terminal. The method includes:

Step 102: detecting a first triggering operation by a user on a terminal screen;

In this embodiment, the terminal detects whether the user performs a first trigger operation on the terminal screen. The first trigger operation can be: a double-click operation, a long press operation, a single-point or multi-point sliding operation according to a preset trajectory, a click operation on a control displayed on the terminal screen, etc. Of course, those skilled in the art should understand that other methods of trigger operations can obviously also be applied to the technical solution of this application, and the specific trigger operation method is not limited here.

At the same time, since the screening of unread messages is based on the user's active execution of the first trigger operation, it shows that the user subjectively wants to screen the unread messages, which is in line with the user's usage psychology and helps to improve the user experience.

Step 104, filtering the unread messages corresponding to the message communication interface displayed on the terminal screen according to preset conditions;

In this embodiment, "unread messages corresponding to the message communication interface" refers to: unread messages that should be displayed on the message communication interface. The unread messages may be displayed on the terminal screen after the user clicks to enter the message communication interface, or the user may need to flip through the message communication interface before they can be seen; for example, in the "inbox" interface of email, the corresponding unread messages are all unread emails, in the "inbox" interface of text messages, the corresponding unread messages are all unread text messages, and in the chat interface of instant messaging software, the corresponding unread messages are the unread messages sent by the user corresponding to the current chat interface.

By filtering unread messages, especially for a "group chat" message communication interface of an instant messaging software that contains unread messages from many users, often hundreds or thousands of unread messages, based on the technical solution of the present application, users only need to reasonably set preset conditions to automatically filter out unread messages that may be useful or interesting, without having to check each unread message one by one, thereby improving the user's reading efficiency.

Step 106: Only the filtered unread messages are displayed in the message communication interface.

As can be seen from the above embodiments, the present application automatically filters unread messages based on the user's first trigger operation, so that the terminal can only display unread messages that meet the preset conditions based on the results of the unread message screening, without having to check each unread message one by one, which helps to improve reading efficiency. At the same time, when there are too many unread messages, users often quickly flip up and down due to impatience, which can easily lead to ignoring truly important messages; based on the technical solution of the present application, by filtering and displaying the unread messages, the user does not need to flip the interface or only needs a small amount of flipping operations to read all the filtered unread messages, effectively avoiding ignoring important messages.

The following describes in detail the screening process based on the "preset condition" in conjunction with Figure 2. Figure 2 shows a message display method according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, including:

In step 202, the terminal displays a message communication interface based on the user operation and obtains the unread messages corresponding to the message communication interface. The following describes the filtering and display of unread messages in the message communication interface using the "group chat" interface in the instant messaging software as an example.

In step 204, when the first triggering operation performed by the user on the terminal screen is detected, the process proceeds to step 206. Here, "detecting the first triggering operation performed by the user on the terminal screen" can be used as the triggering condition for proceeding to step 206, and the process proceeds to step 206 only when this triggering condition is met; alternatively, "detecting the first triggering operation performed by the user on the terminal screen" can be used as the judgment condition, and the process proceeds to step 206 when it is determined that the first triggering operation has occurred, and otherwise, the process proceeds according to the relevant technology.

Step 206: Select unread messages with a text quantity greater than or equal to a first quantity from the unread messages corresponding to the group chat interface.

In this embodiment, since important messages often need to describe an important event, it is impossible to express it clearly with just a few words. Therefore, the number of words contained in them must be large, that is, a larger amount of words corresponds to a larger amount of messages. Therefore, by setting the "first quantity" as the filtering condition, unread messages with a large amount of words and a large amount of messages can be selected, and unread messages with a small amount of words and a small amount of messages can be filtered out.

For example, Figure 3 shows a portion of unread messages contained in a group chat interface, which includes many useless unread messages, such as chat content between users such as "Is anyone there?", "Yes", "What?", etc., which are obviously not important messages needed by users; and for truly important messages, such as "Notice: Class reunion at 5 pm on Saturday. Please gather at the south gate of the school on time, and then...", which is a notification message for a class reunion. Since it needs to explain multiple pieces of information such as "activity content", "activity time", and "activity location", the corresponding number of words is also significantly larger, which is clearly different from other chat content.

Step 208: Only the filtered unread messages are displayed.

As shown in Figure 4, assuming a user enters the group "Automation Shift 2" at 13:21, the group chat interface will display the most recently received unread messages, such as unread messages received after 13:20. Furthermore, assuming the user last entered the group chat interface at 10:02 the previous day, the group chat interface will also display unread messages from 10:02 the previous day to 13:20, requiring the user to scroll through the group chat interface to read them.

Assuming that the user double-clicks a blank area on the group chat interface and performs the first trigger operation described above, the terminal will filter all unread messages currently corresponding to the group chat interface. For example, if the first number described above is 20, the terminal will filter out unread messages with a word count greater than or equal to 20 and display them in the group chat interface, while other unread messages with less than 20 words will be temporarily blocked. Therefore, as shown in Figure 5, useless chat content between group members is automatically blocked, and only unread messages with more words and more information are displayed, allowing users to quickly read important notification content.

Step 210: Optionally, based on step 208, the terminal may proceed to step 212 when detecting that the user has performed a second triggering operation on the terminal screen.

Step 212 , filtering out unread messages having a text quantity greater than or equal to a second quantity from the unread messages filtered out in step 206 .

Step 214 : Display only the unread messages that have been filtered out in the message communication interface; wherein the second number is greater than the first number.

In this embodiment, in order to avoid filtering out useful messages, some users may set a smaller first number in step 206, for example, the first number is 10, resulting in a still large number of filtered unread messages. Based on the second trigger operation performed by the user, it indicates that the user wishes to further filter out useful unread messages on this basis, and the unread messages can be further filtered based on the second number, and the second number is greater than the first number, for example, the second number is 20.

Of course, in addition to the filtering operation based on the number of characters, this application also proposes other forms of "pre-conditions". Another exemplary embodiment of this application is described below:

When a first trigger operation performed by the user on the terminal screen is detected, unread messages containing a first preset keyword are selected from the unread messages corresponding to the message communication interface and/or unread messages containing a second preset keyword are filtered out.

Among them, the first preset keyword can be a keyword of interest preset by the user, such as "important", "notification", "party", "meeting", time information, location information, etc.; and the second preset keyword can be a keyword commonly used in suspected advertising messages and fraudulent messages, such as "super value", "click", "snap up", "discount", etc., and the priority of the second preset keyword can be set to be higher than the first preset keyword to solve the situation where "super value" and "notification" are included at the same time, for example.

It should be noted that: each "preset condition" can be applied separately, such as filtering unread messages by "number of words" or "keywords" alone; at the same time, multiple "preset conditions" can also be used in combination. For example, in the group chat interface shown in Figure 5, after the filtering operation based on the number of words, there may still be unread messages such as "Super value and big sale. Special price houses are launched outside the East Fourth Ring Road this week at 25,000/square meter, with multiple unit types to choose from,...", etc., which can be further filtered out based on keywords, and can be avoided from being displayed in the group chat interface by matching "super value" and "snap sale". In addition, if the user wants to return to the unfiltered message display mode, he can directly return to the display mode of all unread messages by double-clicking or long pressing on a blank area of the interface.

Furthermore, when a user is interested in an unread message, he or she may want to understand the situation at that time by reading the context of the unread message among all the unread messages, so as to achieve a stronger sense of "immersion". Therefore, this application further proposes the following technical solutions:

When the unread messages filtered and displayed on the message communication interface are triggered, all unread messages corresponding to the message communication interface are restored to display, and the location of the triggered unread message is located.

Taking the group chat interface above as an example, as shown in Figure 5, assume that user A sends a gathering notice at 3:38 PM on the first day, stating, "Notice: Class gathering at 5 PM on Saturday. Please gather at the south gate of the school on time, then..." At 10:06 AM on the second day, user A sends an update message stating, "Urgent notice: Saturday afternoon's class gathering has been rescheduled to Sunday at 11 AM. The location remains unchanged..." The user wishes to know the reason for the reunion time change.

Therefore, the user can trigger the message "Urgent notice: The class party on Saturday afternoon has been moved to 11:00 noon on Sunday, the location remains unchanged,..." by clicking, etc., as shown in Figure 6: the terminal will automatically restore the display of all unread messages and directly locate the location of the triggered message. The user can view the reason shown in Figure 7 by further scrolling through the interface: because user F said "Alas, I am on a business trip and can only go back on Saturday night...", the party time was postponed.

As shown in Figure 8, as an exemplary embodiment of the present application, when a terminal enters a group chat interface, the total number of all currently unread messages can be displayed on the interface, for example, "Currently 329 unread messages" can be displayed at the top of the interface. At the same time, if the user wishes to read all unread messages in chronological order, the following method can be used to quickly reach the first message among all unread messages:

When a third trigger operation of the user on the terminal screen is detected, the recorded latest historical reading point corresponding to the current message communication interface is obtained, and the location of the unread message closest to the latest historical reading point is located.

In the group chat interface shown in Figure 8, the user can complete the above third trigger operation by: ① clicking the notification "There are currently 329 unread messages"; ② clicking the button displayed in the interface to quickly locate the unread messages.
