Detailed Implementation

The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

To better understand the solutions of the embodiments of this application, the relevant terms and concepts that may be involved in the embodiments of this application will be introduced below.

I. Instant Messaging Applications:

Instant messaging applications, also known as instant communication applications, are software that enables online chat and communication through instant messaging technology. Internet-based instant messaging software can be designed for various mainstream operating systems, including Windows, macOS, iPadOS, Android, iOS, Windows Phone, and Linux. Instant messaging applications have a wide range of functions. For example, some instant messaging applications support online chat, video calls, peer-to-peer file transfer with resume capability, file sharing, online storage, customizable panels, email, and more, and can connect to various communication terminals.

II. Social Media Clients:

A social client can refer to a social app (application) that provides local services to customers in relation to a server. Examples of social clients include, but are not limited to: instant messaging apps, map-based social apps, content interaction apps, game-based social apps, and installation-free apps (applications that can be used without downloading or installing, which users can open and use by scanning a QR code or searching, such as mini-programs). A social client can also refer to a website with social conversation functions that provides local services to customers in relation to a server, such as social networking sites and forums.

3. AIO: It stands for All In One, which refers to a common chat window component.

In apps with social conversation features, such as instant messaging apps, users participate in many different types of conversations, such as those with friends, groups, and public accounts. In order to provide users with a unified interactive experience, the software provides a chat window component that is shared across different conversations. The user's input, click operations, and other behavioral habits in the component can all be considered consistent.

IV. Conversation:

A conversation refers to a dialogue between an individual or a group. In social networking clients, a conversation can be called a social conversation, and the conversation participants can be social users. Social conversations can include one-on-one conversations and group (or chat) conversations. A one-on-one conversation refers to a social conversation involving two social users, used for information exchange between them, i.e., person-to-person interaction (Consumer-to-Consumer, C2C). A group (or chat) conversation refers to a social conversation involving multiple (more than two) social users, used for information exchange between them.

V. Social Conversation Page:

A social conversation page refers to the user interface used for social conversations; this user interface can be a conversation page provided by a social client installed on a terminal device. This social conversation page can display conversation messages sent by different social users participating in the conversation. The content of these messages can include emoticons, text, voice, video, images, mini-programs, links, files, geolocation, etc. The conversation messages displayed on the social conversation page can support additional functions such as copying, undoing, replying, saving, and editing in detail pages. If the conversation message includes a link, it can be clicked to jump to a new page; if it is a file, it can be viewed, etc. In some embodiments, instant messaging applications not only support the display of emoticons at their original size but also support the enlarged display of some emoticons on the social conversation page.

VI. Easter Egg:

In the field of app development, Easter eggs usually refer to animation effects that developers embed in the app beforehand and are triggered by users performing specific actions. They can also effectively support the operational activities within the app.

VII. Facial Expressions:

In internet applications, emoticons are an artistic expression of daily life, often referred to as a third language besides speech and text. Specifically, in chat scenarios, emoticons are symbols and images used in online communication to help people express information more accurately. They not only increase the enjoyment of chatting but also convey information more concretely than text.

8. Easter Egg Emoticons:

Easter egg emojis are emojis that are presented based on the playback of Easter egg animations. The Easter egg animations corresponding to the emojis can be played in the social conversation page based on preset trigger actions, such as: clicking on the Easter egg emoji to play the Easter egg animation, or sending the Easter egg emoji to the social conversation page to automatically play the Easter egg animation.

Based on the above terms and concepts, the architecture of the information processing system provided in the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of an information processing scenario provided by an exemplary embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 1, the architecture diagram may include multiple (at least two) computer devices (e.g., computer device 100a, computer device 100b, and computer device 100c in the figure) and a server 101. The computer devices can establish a communication connection with the server via wired or wireless means and interact with the server for data. Wherein:

Computer devices refer to devices used by users participating in social conversations. These devices may include, but are not limited to, smartphones, tablets, smart wearable devices, smart voice interaction devices, smart home appliances, personal computers, in-vehicle terminals, etc., and this application does not impose any limitations on their use. The number of computer devices is also not limited in this application. A social client is installed and running on the computer device, allowing users to interact with other users based on the social client running on their respective computer devices. For example, user A can use the social client running on computer device 100a to interact with user B; similarly, users A, B, and C can all use the social clients running on their respective computer devices to interact. The social client can provide a social conversation page, where conversation messages generated by users interacting through the social client can be displayed.

Server 101 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms, but it is not limited to these. This application does not limit the number of servers 101. In one embodiment, server 101 can be a backend server corresponding to a social client, used to manage the social client and provide service support for it. This service support may include, but is not limited to: forwarding conversation messages of social sessions for each social client, starting games for each social client, playing easter egg animations for each social client, etc. Optionally, server 101 may specifically include a message processing server and a game control server. The message processing server acts as a backend server for session messages in the social client, managing session messages such as forwarding and caching them. The game control server acts as a backend server for the game running in the social client, managing the game's status, such as pushing a game-start notification to the social client when game-starting conditions are met, continuously synchronizing and statistically analyzing data during gameplay, and pushing a game-end message to the social client when the game ends. Optionally, the game control server can also control the playback of easter egg animations corresponding to easter egg emoticons, and send easter egg animation playback parameters to the computer devices of each social client in the same session via the message processing server, thereby playing the easter egg animations.

Suppose a social client contains social sessions, which can be individual sessions or group sessions. This embodiment uses an example where user A, user B, and user C form the same group, and user A and user B participate in a single game. It should be noted that each user participating in the social session can also be referred to as a session object; for example, user A can be called session object A, user B can be called session object B, and user C can be called session object C. Unless otherwise specified, in subsequent embodiments of this application, the user in a social session is equivalent to the session object in a social session. The working principle of the system shown in Figure 1 is described in detail below:

(1) A computer device (which can be any computer device in the system, assuming it is computer device 100a) displays a social conversation page in a social client. In one embodiment, the social conversation page includes one or more conversation messages, which may contain one or more of text, voice, video, emoticons, etc. When the conversation message displayed in the social conversation page includes a target emoticon, the target emoticon can be enlarged and displayed in the social conversation page. Furthermore, if the target emoticon is an Easter egg emoticon, it can also be triggered to play an Easter egg animation. For example, if user A clicks on an Easter egg emoticon displayed in computer device 100a, the Easter egg animation corresponding to the Easter egg emoticon will be played in the social conversation page displayed in computer device 100a. At the same time, the Easter egg animation playback parameters are reported to the game control server, which then sends the Easter egg animation playback parameters to the computer devices (including computer devices 100b and 100c) where other social clients are located through a message processing server, thereby enabling the Easter egg animation to be played in the social conversation pages of other social clients. Optionally, the game control server can also control the playback frequency of the Easter egg animation, for example, playing the Easter egg animation 5 times on computer device 100a and 1 time on other computer devices.

(2) A computer device (which can be any computer device in the system, assuming it is computer device 100a) responds to a trigger event on the social conversation page and enters a game. In one embodiment, the trigger event for entering a game can be: when the conversation message displayed on the social conversation page includes a target emoticon, at least one conversation object performs a preset trigger operation on the target emoticon within the same time period. For example, if the target emoticon is an Easter egg emoticon, as long as more than one conversation object clicks on the Easter egg emoticon on the social conversation page, then the conversation object that clicked the Easter egg emoticon can enter a game. For example, if user A and user B click on the "fireworks" Easter egg emoticon at the same time, user A and user B will enter a game.

(3) The computer device (which can be any computer device in the system, assuming it is computer device 100a) displays the game progress of the game on the social chat page, indicating that the game is in progress. The game can proceed according to the set game rules. The game progress can be tracked in real time through progress bars, scores, countdowns, etc. For example, in the Easter egg game, clicking on an Easter egg emoji increases the size of the progress bar; the number of clicks is proportional to the displayed progress bar size. During the game, when user A clicks, Easter egg animations can be displayed on the computer devices of users C and B, and when user B clicks, Easter egg animations can also be displayed on the computer devices of users A and C. In one embodiment, the social chat page of computer device 100a can display the game progress of user A and user B. Furthermore, the game progress of each user can be continuously counted by the game control server and updated to the social clients of each computer device.

(4) The computer device (which can be any computer device in the system, assuming it is computer device 100a) displays a result animation corresponding to the game outcome status on the social conversation page. When the game end conditions are met, such as the emergence of a winning player (i.e., the conversation object who participated in the game and won) or the game timer expires, the game state is "game over," and a result animation can be output to notify the user that the game has ended. For example, if user A wins the game, an electronic red envelope will be output on the social conversation page displayed on computer device 100a, and the game will end.

It can be observed that the information processing system provided in this embodiment can initiate game matches through triggered events on the social conversation page. Conversation participants can then engage in battles as game players, thus enriching the interaction methods within social conversations. Furthermore, displaying the battle status on the social conversation page enhances the game atmosphere, and the game format helps drive interaction and dissemination among users, increasing the fun and activity of interactions between various conversation participants. The aforementioned information processing solution can be applied to various internet scenarios, including but not limited to cloud technology, artificial intelligence, smart transportation, assisted driving, and social interaction. Specifically, if a triggered event occurs on a user's social conversation page in these scenarios, a game match is initiated, and the battle status is displayed in real-time on the social conversation page, representing a novel and engaging form of social interaction.

It is understood that in the specific implementation of this application, data such as user avatar information, user's battle status in game, and other information about the user are involved. When the above embodiments of this application are applied to specific products or technologies, user permission or consent is required, and the collection, use and processing of related data must comply with the relevant laws, regulations and standards of the relevant countries and regions.

The specific implementation of the information processing method proposed in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the information processing method mentioned in the subsequent embodiments of this application can be executed by a computer device, such as any computer device in the system shown in Figure 1; the computer device runs a social client. Furthermore, the social sessions involved in the embodiments of this application can be individual sessions or group sessions, and this application embodiment will use a group session as an example for explanation.

Please refer to Figure 2, which is a flowchart illustrating an information processing method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. This information processing method can be executed by a computer device, such as any computer device in the system shown in Figure 1; the computer device runs a social networking client and can be a terminal device; the information processing method includes, but is not limited to, the following steps.

S201, Display the social conversation page.

The social conversation page displays conversation messages exchanged between participants in a social conversation. A conversation participant can be a user involved in the social conversation, and conversation messages can be shared with all participants in the same conversation. That is, a conversation message sent by any participant can be displayed on the social conversation pages of other participants in the same social conversation.

In one embodiment, the social conversation page includes a message input field for entering the content of a conversation message. The message content can be one or more combinations of text, emoticons, voice, video, images, mini-programs, links, files, geolocation, etc. Optionally, the message content, including a target emoticon, can be entered in the message input field; when a send control for the message content is selected, the conversation message is displayed on the social conversation page, containing the message content from the message input field, and the target emoticon is enlarged within the conversation message.

Participants in a social conversation can enter a message containing a target emoticon in the message input field. This can be a single target emoticon or a combination of the target emoticon and other content (such as text). The target emoticon can be magnified. When the participant selects the send control on their terminal device, the target emoticon is magnified and displayed on the social conversation page, and the magnified target emoticon can serve as a conversation message. The send control can be a virtual button or a physical button, and it can be placed in the message input field or other specific areas. In addition to sending via the selected send control, the target emoticon can also be sent via a specific gesture or trajectory. For ease of description, the emoticon magnified on the social conversation page is called a large emoticon, while the emoticon displayed in the message input field is called a small emoticon. During the magnification process, the emoticon can dynamically change and present different content than the small emoticon. Therefore, the display format of emoticons is not limited to their original size; dynamically magnifying emoticons can enrich their display format and increase their appeal.

Please refer to Figure 3a, which is a schematic diagram of an operation for sending a target emoticon according to an exemplary embodiment of this application. As shown in (1) of Figure 3a, the conversation message originally displayed on the social conversation page 300 includes the emoticon "heart" and the text "go out to play". The conversation object selects the small emoticon "Cai Gou" 3011 in the emoticon selection bar 301 and displays it in the message input bar 302. When the conversation object clicks the send control 303, the "Cai Gou" emoticon displayed in the message input bar 302 is enlarged in the social conversation page 300 and becomes the large emoticon "Cai Gou" 3012 shown in (2) of Figure 3a. During this process, the emoticon can change dynamically and finally settle into the large emoticon 3012. Furthermore, the large emoticon "Cai Gou" shown in (2) of Figure 3a can also be triggered by the conversation object, thereby entering the emoticon details page 304 as shown in Figure 3b. The emoticon details page 304 is equipped with functional controls such as reading aloud, copying, highlighting, and dressing up. Optionally, the "Cai Gou" emoticon can be edited in the emoticon details page, for example, by overlaying other elements on the "Cai Gou" emoticon using the dressing up tool and saving it as a new emoticon. It should be noted that the emoticon details page here can be another independent page different from the social conversation page, that is, the emoticon details page may not be displayed in the social conversation page of the social client logged in by other conversation objects; or, the emoticon details page can be a window displayed on top of the social conversation page; the embodiments of this application do not limit the display method of the emoticon details page. In summary, for the appearance form of the large emoticon, the triggering process can be: "Send small emoticon" -> "Trigger large emoticon" -> "Click on the large emoticon to enter the emoticon details page".

In one embodiment, the social conversation page corresponds to a social conversation containing multiple conversation objects. Multiple conversation objects refer to two or more conversation objects. When it contains two conversation objects, the social conversation page corresponds to a one-on-one chat; when it contains two or more conversation objects, the social conversation page corresponds to a group chat. Optionally, the target emoticon is an Easter egg emoticon, which refers to an emoticon presented based on the playback of an Easter egg animation. This Easter egg emoticon can also be enlarged and displayed on the social conversation page.

For Easter egg emojis on social chat pages, whether in one-on-one or group chats: when the target emoji in a chat message is triggered by any chat object in the social chat, the corresponding Easter egg animation will play. That is, when a chat message displayed on the social chat page contains an Easter egg emoji as the target emoji, it can be triggered by any chat object in either a one-on-one or group chat, thus playing the Easter egg animation. This "any chat object" can be the chat object that sent the Easter egg emoji (sender) or another chat object participating in the same social chat (receiver). The triggering action can be anything that can trigger the Easter egg animation, such as a single click, double click, swipe, long press, etc., and there are no restrictions on which actions can trigger the playback of the Easter egg animation.

Please refer to Figure 4a, which is a schematic diagram of triggering the Easter egg animation in a one-on-one chat session. Similar to the "clumsy dog" emoticon shown in Figure 3a, as shown in (1) of Figure 4a, the small "fireworks" emoticon 4011 selected from the emoticon selection bar 401 is displayed in the message input bar 402. After being sent, it is enlarged and displayed as the large "fireworks" emoticon 4012 in the social chat page 400 as shown in (2) of Figure 4a. When the large "fireworks" emoticon 4012 displayed in the social chat page 400 is triggered by chat object A or chat object B, the corresponding "fireworks" Easter egg animation can be played in the social chat page corresponding to either chat object. As shown in (3) of Figure 4a, it is a schematic diagram of the effect of triggering the "fireworks" Easter egg animation from the perspective of chat object A.

It's worth noting that the Easter egg animation can also be played on the social conversation page displayed on the social client of other participants in the same conversation. In other words, in consumer-to-consumer (C2C) or group scenarios, after the sender sends a small emoticon that triggers a larger emoticon, both the sender and receiver can click the larger emoticon to trigger the Easter egg animation; and when the sender and receiver are in the same chat window simultaneously, regardless of which party clicks the larger emoticon, both will see the Easter egg animation play. For example, in a group scenario, assuming the group includes three conversation objects, namely conversation object A, conversation object B, and conversation object C, when a conversation object clicks on an Easter egg emoji, the Easter egg animation played from the perspectives of different conversation objects can be seen in Figures 4b and 4c. As shown in Figure 4b, conversation object A sent multiple "fireworks" emojis in the group and clicked on the latest sent "fireworks" emoji 4201, triggering the Easter egg animation. At this time, from the perspective of conversation object A, the fireworks Easter egg is displayed on conversation object A's social conversation page. If conversation object B and conversation object C are both in the chat window at this time, then conversation object B and conversation object C can both see the Easter egg animation triggered by conversation object A, as shown in Figure 4c, where the fireworks Easter egg is played in the social conversation pages from the perspectives of conversation object B and conversation object C. Meanwhile, as shown in Figure 4d, conversation participant B can also click on the "fireworks" emoji 4202 sent by conversation participant A to trigger an Easter egg animation. This "fireworks" emoji 4202 is the previous conversation message before the latest "fireworks" emoji 4201. Following the same principle as conversation participant A triggering the fireworks Easter egg, conversation participant B triggers the Easter egg animation. The fireworks Easter egg corresponding to the "fireworks" emoji 4202 can also be played on the social conversation page from the perspectives of conversation participant A and conversation participant C. In summary, as long as conversation participants are currently in the same chat window group, they can all see the Easter egg animation triggered by conversation participant A or conversation participant B, and other members in the group can click on the emoji to trigger the Easter egg.

In one embodiment, playing the Easter egg animation corresponding to the target emoji can be implemented as follows: obtaining the target emoji identifier and the Easter egg animation configuration, which indicates the animation resource file mapped to the target emoji; determining the animation resource file based on the target emoji identifier and the Easter egg animation configuration; and playing the Easter egg animation on the social conversation page according to the animation content indicated by the animation resource file. Each emoji corresponds to an emoji identifier (ID). When the target emoji is an Easter egg emoji, there is a mapping relationship between the target emoji identifier and the animation resource file. The target emoji identifier can map to one or more animation resource files. Multiple animation resource files are animations of the same type but with different presentation forms. For example, the fireworks animation corresponding to the fireworks emoji can be fireworks animations with different blooming shapes and colors. The animation resource file indicated by the Easter egg animation configuration can be random animation content (if multiple animation resource files exist) or a fixed one. Playing the animation content contained in the animation resource file on the social conversation page can be played at a random location on the social conversation page or in a specific area, such as in a specific area around the Easter egg emoji.

Regarding the above content, the interaction process between social clients for triggering the Easter egg emoji to play the Easter egg animation, as well as the corresponding technical support, can be found in the following description: For ease of description, social clients will be referred to as clients for short, and client interactions will be divided into sender and receiver. The following example illustrates how the sender triggers the Easter egg animation and the receiver plays the Easter egg animation synchronously.

For the sender, the client needs to intercept clicks on emojis that can trigger Easter eggs, play the corresponding animation according to the Easter egg animation configuration, and simultaneously merge click events within a certain period into a single request, which is then sent to the backend server. More detailed information can be found in Figure 5a, a schematic diagram of a sender-triggered Easter egg playback process provided in this embodiment. This includes the following:

S11: The user clicks on an emoji. The conversation partner can click on any emoji displayed on the social conversation page.

S12: Determine if the emoticon can trigger an Easter egg animation. Since the emoticon clicked by the conversation object can be any emoticon displayed on the social conversation page, and the emoticon may not have a corresponding Easter egg animation, different actions need to be performed according to different judgment results: If the emoticon is an emoticon that cannot trigger an Easter egg animation, clicking the emoticon will lead to the message details page (S13), which is the emoticon details page 304 shown in Figure 3b above; if the emoticon is an emoticon that can trigger an Easter egg animation, the click event of the emoticon will be intercepted by the client, and the following step S14 will be executed.

S14: Play the corresponding animation using randomized parameters according to the Easter egg animation configuration. Since the Easter egg animation configuration specifies the mapping relationship between emoticon identifiers (IDs) and animation resource files, after the client intercepts a clicked emoticon, it can search the Easter egg animation configuration for the existence of a corresponding animation resource file based on the emoticon identifier. Emoticons that can trigger the Easter egg can find the corresponding animation resource file according to the Easter egg animation configuration. In one embodiment, the animation content and displayed dimensions of the animation resource file are fixed, and the animation resource file can be played at a random location on the client's social conversation page; that is, the randomization parameter is a random location parameter. In another embodiment, an emoticon identifier can correspond to multiple animation resource files, so that during configuration, any one of the multiple animation resource files can be randomly selected for playback; that is, the randomization parameter is random animation content. For example, the multiple animation resource files corresponding to the "fireworks" Easter egg emoticon can each contain fireworks animations of different blooming forms and colors. Alternatively, it can be a combination of the above two methods, i.e., randomly selecting animation resource files and playing them at random locations.

S15: Record relevant information for this clicked emoji. This information may include the emoji icon, the number of times the emoji was clicked, etc.

S16: Merge click information recorded within a certain period and send it to the backend. Click information refers to information related to clicking on emojis. Merge click events for Easter egg emojis within a certain period into a single request and send it to the server. This allows the server to push notifications to other clients and play the Easter egg animation. Merging click information effectively saves resources required for data transmission and reception, and the click information within a certain period can serve as a reference for deciding whether to implement frequency control strategies. The period can be set according to actual needs, such as 1 second, 2 seconds, etc.

For the recipient, the click push notification sent by the server can be parsed. If the parsed clicked message is on the current screen, the corresponding animation is played according to the Easter egg animation configuration; otherwise, no response is made. Please refer to Figure 5b, which is a schematic diagram of the process of the recipient playing an Easter egg animation according to an embodiment of this application. Specifically, it includes:

S21: Received backend emoji click push notification. After receiving the click information from the sender, the server can send a push message containing relevant information about the click to the client where the recipient is located.

S22: Parse the push notification to obtain relevant information about the clicked message. By parsing the push notification, you can obtain the number of clicks and the emoji identifier of the clicked emoji.

S23: Determine if the clicked message is visible to the user. When the sender clicks on an emoji, not all emojis can play the Easter egg animation. For example, clicking on an emoji might lead to a message details page, which is displayed on the sender's client and is not visible to the recipient. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether the content displayed after the message is clicked (i.e., the clicked message) is visible to other users. If it is not visible to the user (e.g., the message details page), the push notification can be ignored (S24). If it is visible to the user (e.g., the Easter egg animation), the following step S25 can be executed.

S25: Play the animation using randomization parameters according to the Easter egg animation configuration. Since the Easter egg animation configuration specifies the mapping relationship between emoticons and animation resource files, the recipient, after obtaining the clicked emoticon, can find the corresponding animation resource file from the Easter egg animation configuration based on the emoticon identifier. The randomization parameters here can be used to indicate that the playback position of the fixed Easter egg animation on the social conversation page is random, or to indicate that the specific animation content of the Easter egg animation is random, or that both the content and playback position of the Easter egg animation are random.

In one embodiment, to prevent server crashes due to a surge in server access during Easter egg animation playback, a frequency control strategy is implemented to limit the number of times the Easter egg animation is played per unit of time, i.e., the playback frequency. Assuming the social conversation page is displayed on the target terminal, any conversation object that triggers the operation on the target emoticon refers to the currently logged-in conversation object on the target terminal. Under the frequency control strategy, Easter egg animation playback can be achieved by: obtaining the first Easter egg animation playback parameters and the combined number of times the current conversation object performs the trigger operation on the target emoticon; sending the combined number and the first Easter egg animation playback parameters to the server, so that the server determines the second Easter egg animation playback parameters based on the combined number and the first Easter egg animation playback parameters.

The second Easter egg animation playback parameter is used to instruct the playback of the target emoji's corresponding Easter egg animation a preset number of times on the social conversation page displayed on terminals logged in by other conversation objects besides the current conversation object. This preset number of times is less than the merged number. The first Easter egg animation playback parameter is generated by the current conversation object performing a trigger operation on the target emoji on the target terminal device. The first Easter egg animation playback parameter is used to instruct the Easter egg animation corresponding to the target emoji triggered by the current conversation object. The content of the Easter egg animation indicated by the second Easter egg animation playback parameter and the first Easter egg animation playback parameter is the same. To further save data transmission resources and better control the playback frequency, the number of trigger operations performed by the current conversation object on the target emoji within a set period (e.g., every 2 seconds) can be merged to generate a merged number. Then, the merged number and the first Easter egg animation playback parameter are uploaded to the server. For example, the click events of the Easter egg emoji can be merged into one request and sent to the server. The server can be an Easter egg control backend that can be used to control the playback frequency of the Easter egg animation. When the server receives the first Easter egg animation playback parameter and the merged number, it first determines whether to use the frequency control strategy based on the merged number, and then determines the second Easter egg animation playback parameter. When the number of merges exceeds a set threshold, a frequency control strategy can be used. This strategy can limit the number of times the Easter egg animation is played to a preset number (e.g., 1 time), which is less than the number of merges. The second Easter egg animation playback parameters can carry this preset number. In this way, the terminals of other session objects participating in the same social session can play Easter egg animations with fewer merges, thereby achieving frequency control and reducing the pressure on the server.

Specifically, the application scenarios for frequency control strategies are as follows: In C2C (Consumer-to-Consumer) scenarios, the number of times the current conversation object triggers a large emoji (e.g., the number of clicks) can equal the number of times the Easter egg animation plays. The form of the Easter egg animation seen by the sender and receiver is consistent, and the frequency control strategy is not required. However, in group scenarios, the number of times the current conversation object triggers the Easter egg animation to play is equal to the number of times the Easter egg animation plays. Other conversation objects can also see the Easter egg animation, but the number of times the Easter egg animation plays is limited by the frequency control strategy. Taking the sender triggering the Easter egg emoji to play the Easter egg animation as an example, assuming the sender triggers the Easter egg 5 times per second, the sender can see the Easter egg animation played 5 times on the social conversation page. However, due to the frequency control strategy, the receiver can only see the Easter egg animation played once. In addition, the frequency control strategy supports operational configuration and can be adjusted according to the actual situation. In one embodiment, frequency control can be implemented not only based on the number of times the trigger operation on the target emoticon is executed, but also based on the number of conversation objects included in the social conversation. For example, if the number of conversation objects included in a group conversation is less than the frequency control threshold (e.g., 5), the playback of the Easter egg animation may not use a frequency control strategy.

The above describes the general technical process involved in triggering the Easter egg animation on the sender and receiver. The following section uses a group scenario as an example to explain in detail the information interaction process between the various clients and the server. Please refer to Figure 5c, which is a schematic diagram of an information interaction process provided in an embodiment of this application. Specifically, taking a group session including three session objects, with each session object logged into by clients A, B, and C respectively, as an example, the following explanation will be provided.

S31: Session object A sends an Easter egg emoji message msgA on the group AIO page (social conversation page) via client A. This message is sent through the group message backend to all group members (i.e., other session objects participating in the same conversation) and their logged-in clients, including client B and client C.

S32: Client A responds to the operation of clicking the Easter egg emoji message msgA in the session object, triggers the Easter egg animation, and reports the playback parameters of this Easter egg animation to the Easter egg control backend.

S33: After a series of calculations such as frequency control, the Easter egg control backend uses the push channel interface of the group message backend to send the Easter egg animation playback parameters to client B and client C.

S34: Clients B and C play the Easter egg animations of the corresponding local session messages according to the received Easter egg animation playback parameters.

S35: Since the Easter egg emoji message msgA is a group message, it can be seen by all group members. Therefore, the conversation object B corresponding to client B can trigger the Easter egg animation by clicking on the group message msgA sent by client A in the conversation object A. At the same time, client B reports the playback parameters of this Easter egg animation to the Easter egg control backend. The Easter egg control backend also uses the group message backend push channel to send the Easter egg animation playback parameters to client A and client C. Then, client A and client C parse the Easter egg animation playback parameters and play the Easter egg animation on the corresponding conversation message.

It should be noted that triggering the Easter egg animation on client C is similar to client B, except that the Easter egg animation playback parameters are notified to both client B and client C via the group message backend. Furthermore, in C2C (Consumer-to-Consumer) scenarios, the principle is the same as in group scenarios. For example, in a one-on-one chat between client A (conversation object A) and client B (conversation object B), the interaction process involved in triggering the Easter egg emoticon playback is similar to that described above and will not be elaborated upon here.

As can be seen, the above method is a new form of message interaction based on Easter eggs. When a conversation partner clicks on an Easter egg emoji included in the conversation message, the Easter egg is triggered. The number of Easter eggs displayed is related to the number of triggering operations (such as clicking). The overall triggering process is: "send small emoji" - "trigger large emoji" - "click large emoji to trigger Easter egg".

S202, responding to a trigger event on the social conversation page, enters the game match.

Since the social conversation page contains one or more conversation messages, the triggering event on the social conversation page can be a gesture operation on a certain type of conversation message (such as a conversation message containing Easter egg emojis) within the one or more conversation messages, such as clicking, swiping, and preset gesture trajectories, etc. It can also be that the conversation messages contained in the social conversation page meet the conditions for automatically entering a game match (for example, at least two conversation messages containing Easter egg emojis sent by at least two conversation objects respectively), or other triggering events. For more detailed information on triggering events for entering a game match, please refer to the corresponding embodiment in Figure 6, which will not be elaborated upon here. A game match refers to a game involving at least two conversation objects, where the participating conversation objects act as game players.

In one implementation, the social conversation page corresponds to a social conversation that includes multiple conversation objects, which can be two or more. The social conversation page contains a target conversation message, which contains a target emoticon. The number of target conversation messages contained in the social conversation page can be one or more, and the target emoticon can be an emoticon that triggers an Easter egg animation, or it can be an emoticon without an Easter egg animation. Step S202 can be specifically implemented as follows: when N conversation objects in the social conversation trigger the target emoticon in the target conversation message within the same time period, the N conversation objects enter the game match, where N is an integer greater than 1.

The N conversation objects can be some or all of the conversation objects participating in the same social conversation. In a C2C (Consumer-to-Consumer) scenario, the N conversation objects entering the game are all (i.e., two) conversation objects from a one-on-one chat. In a group chat scenario, the N conversation objects entering the game may be some or all of the conversation objects, with some conversation objects being at least two conversation objects. Furthermore, the N conversation objects enter the game by performing a trigger operation on the target emoticon in the target conversation message within the same time period. The trigger operation can be a click (including single click, double click, long press, etc.) or following a preset gesture trajectory, such as swiping in a preset direction within the target emoticon display area, etc., without restriction. The same time period can be the period between the start and end times of the game. The start time is the time when the first trigger operation on the target emoticon is performed, or the time when at least two conversation objects simultaneously perform the trigger operation on the target emoticon. The end time is obtained by adding a preset time difference (e.g., 3 seconds) to the start time. If the number N of session objects that trigger the target emoticon within a period between the start and end times is greater than or equal to 2, then N session objects can be used as participants in the game. Optionally, a game can be started when two session objects trigger the target emoticon within a certain time. If the set time for entering the game has not yet been reached, a countdown to enter the game can be started. If other session objects trigger the target emoticon in the target session message before the countdown ends, they can also join the game.

For example, the group includes 6 conversation participants. The target conversation message on the social conversation page contains an Easter egg emoji. If conversation participant A clicks the Easter egg emoji at 12:00:01, and conversation participant B clicks the Easter egg emoji at 12:00:02, or if conversation participant A and conversation participant B click the Easter egg emoji at the same time, for example, 12:00:02, then a game match can be started. The countdown to the start of the game match is 2 seconds, meaning the game match will actually start at 12:00:04. If conversation participant C clicks the Easter egg emoji at 12:00:03, then ultimately 3 conversation participants will enter the game match.

In one embodiment, this step can also be implemented in any of the following ways:

(1) Responding to a trigger event on the social conversation page, enter game mode on the social conversation page. Specifically, entering game mode on the social conversation page means that games played on the social conversation page have priority. In game mode, the social client can optimize the performance output of the game by prioritizing the game process, without redirecting to other pages. Furthermore, the social conversation page in game mode can add controls to indicate that the game mode has been entered (such as a progress bar), which can also be used to track the game progress in real time. For example, in game mode, two or more conversation objects can compete in the number of clicks of Easter egg emoticons on the social conversation page. From the perspective of the conversation object itself, the conversation object's own progress bar and the current maximum progress bar can be displayed.

(2) In response to a triggered event on the social conversation page, display the game match page. Optionally, the game match page includes any of the following: the game match page refers to a native page in the social client to which the social conversation page belongs; the game match page refers to a page in a game client outside the social client; the game match page refers to a mini-program page in the social client.

This method notifies the conversation partner to enter a game by redirecting them from the social conversation page to the game match page on the terminal device. When the game match page is a native page within the social client to which the social conversation page belongs, it can display normally without a network connection. This native page can be other native pages designed for game matches that are different from the social conversation page. It can directly rely on the operating system, offering strong interactivity and good performance. When the game match page is a mini-program page within the social client, specifically a page of a mini-game built into the social client, the mini-game is launched and displayed through a trigger event in the social conversation page. When the game match page is a page in another game client, a trigger event in the social conversation page can launch the game in the game client, allowing the user to jump from the social client to the game client to start a game match.

S203 displays the game's match status on the social chat page.

The game's match status indicates the current stage of the game. This status can include both ongoing and over-the-game states. Different content can be displayed on the social chat page to prompt the chat participant under different match statuses. For example, if the participant loses a match, the social chat page can display the text message: "Almost there, try harder next time." For details, please refer to the embodiment described in Figure 6 below; further details will not be provided here.

As described above, the game can be based on Easter eggs. For example, if more than one user triggers an Easter egg emoji simultaneously, the game mode can be entered. A progress bar will be displayed on the left and right sides of the AI (AI interface), and the increase of the progress bar is proportional to the number of clicks on the Easter egg emoji. The first side to complete the progress bar will receive an electronic virtual resource pack (such as an electronic red envelope). In this way, the emoji Easter eggs can not only be played based on Easter egg animations, but also have increased playability through Easter egg game mechanics. After a user triggers an Easter egg, they can start an Easter egg game, such as a progress bar indicating the number of clicks or the distribution of electronic resource packs, increasing user novelty and participation.

It is evident that the social chat page not only allows users to chat by sending fun emoticons, but also enables them to initiate corresponding games in response to events triggered on the social chat page. For example, clicking on an Easter egg emoticon can trigger an Easter egg game, allowing participants in the social chat to interact through game matches, thus enriching the interactive methods within the social chat. Displaying the battle status on the social chat page can enhance the gaming atmosphere, and the game format can attract more participants to join the social chat, helping to drive the spread of interaction among participants, further increasing the fun and activity of the interaction, and boosting the total number of messages.

Please refer to Figure 6, which is a flowchart illustrating another information processing method provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. This information processing method can be executed by a computer device, such as any computer device in the system shown in Figure 1; the computer device runs a social client and can be a terminal device; the information processing method includes, but is not limited to, the following steps.

S601, displays the social conversation page.

The specific implementation of this step can be found in S201 of the embodiment corresponding to Figure 2 above, and will not be repeated here.

S602, responding to a trigger event on the social conversation page, enters a game match.

The social conversation page corresponds to a social conversation that includes multiple conversation objects, which can be two or more conversation objects. Besides the methods described in the preceding embodiments, entering a game match can also include the following two methods:

Method 1: When there are at least two conversation messages on the social conversation page that contain the target emoticon or a related emoticon containing the target emoticon, and the at least two conversation messages are sent by N conversation objects in the social conversation within the same time period, the N conversation objects enter the game match, where N is an integer greater than 1.

In other words, when at least two participants in a social conversation send conversation messages containing the target emoji or related emojis within the same time period, and the number is greater than or equal to two, N participants can automatically enter the game. Thus, at least two of the multiple conversation messages on the social conversation page include the target emoji, or at least two conversation messages correspond to a combination of the target emoji and related emojis. Here, related emojis can refer to emojis of the same type as the target emoji; for example, both the related and target emojis could be Easter egg emojis, only with different corresponding Easter egg animations.

For example, in a group chat scenario, the group includes 6 chat participants. Chat participant A sends a "fireworks" emoji at 12:00:01. Within 2 seconds, chat participants B and C simultaneously send "firecrackers" emojis. Both "firecrackers" and "fireworks" are Easter egg emojis that can trigger Easter egg animations and are considered related emojis. Therefore, chat participants A, B, and C can enter the game. As shown in Figure 7a, the social chat page includes "fireworks" emoji 7011 and "firecrackers" emoji 7012 sent within the same time period. As another example, as shown in Figure 7b, chat participants A and B send "fireworks" emojis in adjacent time intervals, so chat participants A and B can enter the game. As yet another example, as shown in Figure 7b, the social chat page includes 3 chat participants sending "fireworks" emojis within the same time period, for a total of 4.

Method 2: When there is at least one first conversation message containing the target emoticon and at least one second conversation message containing a password associated with the target emoticon in the social conversation page, and the first and second conversation messages are sent by N conversation objects in the social conversation within the same time period, the N conversation objects enter the game match, where N is an integer greater than 1.

This method involves at least two conversation participants sending a target emoticon and its associated password to enter a game match. The target emoticon can be any Easter egg emoticon, and the password is presented in text form. Correspondingly, the conversation messages presented on the social conversation page include two types of conversation messages: the first conversation message contains the target emoticon, and the second conversation message contains the password, which is associated with the target emoticon. For example, please refer to the social conversation page shown in Figure 7c. If conversation participant B and conversation participant C send a "fireworks" emoticon and conversation participant A sends the text password "Happy New Year" within the same time period, then conversation participant A, conversation participant B, and conversation participant C can enter the game match.

The aforementioned methods for triggering entry into a game are not limited to individual use; at least two can be combined. For any of the methods described above, before entering a game: in response to a trigger event on the social conversation page, a game start prompt is output; when the game start prompt is confirmed, the player enters the game. The game start prompt indicates that a game is about to begin; it can be a countdown prompt, a text prompt asking whether the player wants to participate, or other prompts. This prompt allows the conversation participant to be aware that a game is starting and to choose whether to enter, further confirming their willingness to participate. When the game start prompt is confirmed, it means the participant is willing to participate, and they can enter the game. Conversely, if the game start prompt is not confirmed, the participant will not enter the game; this proactive confirmation provides the participant with the right to choose not to participate.

Please refer to Figure 7d, which is an exemplary embodiment of this application providing a schematic diagram of a game launch prompt interface. As shown in (1) of Figure 7d, the social conversation page corresponding to the group conversation includes a "fireworks" emoticon sent by conversation object A, conversation object B, and conversation object C, and a "Happy New Year" password sent by conversation object C. According to the content described in Method 2 above, the conversation messages included in the social conversation page meet the conditions for entering the game. At this time, a countdown marked as 7041 is output in the social conversation page corresponding to each conversation object. During the countdown, the conversation object can use the set selection control to determine whether to give up or continue entering the game. In addition, in the same scenario, the game launch prompt can also be a text prompt marked as 7042, as shown in (2) of Figure 7d, asking "Do you want to enter the game?", and also has the same selection control to determine whether to give up or enter the game.

Based on the example above, a total of N conversation objects enter the game in the social conversation corresponding to the social conversation page, where N is an integer greater than 1. After the N conversation objects confirm their entry into the game, the game's battle status can be displayed on the social conversation page. The battle status can include the battle in progress status and the battle ended status. For more details, please refer to the descriptions of S603 and S604 below.

S603 displays the game progress of the target conversation object on the social conversation page.

The battle status includes the game progress of the target conversation object out of N conversation objects. Game progress refers to the player's completion of the target task. The target task can be to reach the maximum number of clicks within a set time, or to reach a preset number of clicks in the shortest time, or other settings, which can be configured as needed. During the game, the battle status displayed on the social conversation page can be the game progress of the target conversation object.

The target session object includes at least one or more of the following: ① The target session object is the session object with the highest game progress among N session objects; ② The target session object is the session object with the lowest game progress among N session objects; ③ The target session object is one or more session objects selected in descending order of game progress among N session objects; ④ The target session object is any one or more session objects among N session objects; ⑤ If the social session page is displayed on the target terminal, then the target session object is the current session object that is logged in on the target terminal among N session objects.

Correspondingly, the social conversation page can display the game progress of the target conversation object, including one or more of the following combinations: the game progress of all conversation objects entering the game; the game progress of the conversation object selected from N conversation objects that has the highest and/or lowest completion rate of the target task within the same time period (i.e., the largest and/or smallest game progress); the game progress of one or more conversation objects selected from N conversation objects arranged in descending order of task completion rate, or randomly selected from the top few conversation objects, or the bottom few conversation objects; and the game progress of the current conversation object. The social conversation page corresponding to the current conversation object can be displayed on the target terminal, and the game progress of other conversation objects can also be displayed on the social conversation page of the target terminal.

When the target session object includes the session object with the highest game progress among N session objects and the current session object, the way the game progress is displayed on the social session page can be, in one embodiment, as follows: the game progress of the session object with the highest game progress is displayed on one side of the social session page in the form of a first progress bar, and the game progress of the current session object is displayed on the other side of the social session page in the form of a second progress bar.

Displaying game progress as a progress bar on the social chat page helps participants clearly understand their current game progress. The progress bar dynamically changes based on the player's actions (e.g., clicking on an Easter egg emoticon). Specifically, the progress bar is directly proportional to the number of valid actions performed. Participants can see their own progress, or their progress relative to others, in real time. The first and second progress bars represent the participant with the highest current progress and the current participant's progress, respectively, and are positioned on opposite sides of the social chat page. This allows for a clear visual comparison of progress differences between participants and others. Displaying game progress using a progress bar is suitable for scenarios where a uniform game progress is pre-set. For example, a uniform progress could be set at 50 clicks on an Easter egg emoticon in the chat message; reaching this number of clicks signifies completion of the game.

Figure 8a shows a schematic diagram of the game's progress from the perspective of conversation participant B. During the game, the social conversation page corresponding to the group chat displays two progress bars: progress bar 8011 for conversation participant A on the left side of the social conversation page (this is the progress bar for the conversation participant with the highest number of clicks in the group chat), and progress bar 8012 for conversation participant B on the right side. The increase in these progress bars is proportional to the number of times the conversation participant clicks the Easter egg emoticon on the social conversation page. These two progress bars can be updated in real time during the game. Furthermore, progress bars for all conversation participants participating in the game can also be displayed. Figure 8b shows the progress bars for conversation participants A, B, and C displayed on the social conversation page from conversation participant B's perspective. The same or different progress bars are also displayed on the social conversation pages for other conversation participants.

In another embodiment, specifically: a first score is displayed in a first area of the social conversation page, the first score representing the game progress of the conversation object with the highest game progress; and a second score is displayed in a second area of the social conversation page, the second score representing the game progress of the current conversation object; wherein the first area and the second area are both arbitrary areas of the social conversation page.

The first and second scores can be specific numerical values representing the scores achieved by the participants in the game. These scores are updated in real-time based on the participants' game actions and are displayed in different areas of the social conversation page. For example, both the first and second scores are proportional to the number of times a participant clicks on an Easter egg emoticon; for instance, each click earns 5 points. At the end of the game's set time, the scores are compared to determine the final winner. As shown in Figure 8c, from participant B's perspective, participant A's score (marked by 8021) is displayed in the upper left corner of the social conversation page, indicating the highest game progress. Meanwhile, participant B's current game progress score is displayed in the upper right corner of the social conversation page, indicating 30 points (marked by 8022). This method of displaying scores is suitable for games where the participant achieves the highest score within a set time period. Furthermore, both of these methods can display not only information evaluating game progress (including progress bars or scores) but also the avatar information of the participants on the social conversation page.

In one possible embodiment, the social conversation page contains a target conversation message, which contains a target emoticon; the game requires N conversation objects to perform a set operation on the target emoticon within a set time, and the game result is obtained according to the number of times the set operation is performed when the set time is reached; or, the game requires N conversation objects to perform a preset number of set operations on the target emoticon, and the game result is obtained according to the time taken to perform the preset number of set operations when the preset number of set operations is reached.

In other words, for N conversation objects, the battle result for each conversation object in a game can be obtained by counting the number of times a set operation is performed on a target emoticon within a set time, which is the game duration, such as 10 seconds. The target emoticon can be an Easter egg emoticon, and the set operation for the Easter egg emoticon can be the operation that triggers the Easter egg animation (i.e., the trigger operation). This trigger operation can be a click, a swipe, or a more complex gesture trajectory, without any restrictions. Alternatively, the battle result can also be the time spent performing the set operation on the target emoticon to reach a preset number of times, for example, the time spent by a conversation object clicking on the Easter egg emoticon 50 times. Each conversation object plays the game under the same rules. The battle result can be obtained based on the game result, and the battle results of the N conversation objects can be sorted according to corresponding rules. The former method can be sorted by the number of times the set operation is performed, and the latter method can be sorted by the time it takes to perform the set operation to reach a preset number of times. By following the order in which each of the N conversation objects performs the set operation to reach the preset number of times, the battle results of all conversation objects can be obtained.

S604 displays result animations corresponding to the battle result status on the social conversation page.

In one embodiment, the resulting animation includes an electronic resource pack, such as an electronic red envelope. When the electronic resource pack is triggered, the electronic resources within it are allocated. Optionally, when one or more session objects simultaneously complete the game progress first in a match, an electronic resource pack (e.g., an electronic red envelope) can be triggered. The electronic resources in this pack can be allocated among N session objects according to their game progress. For example, if the final game completion is represented by points, the electronic resources allocated to a session object are proportional to the points earned; that is, the higher the points, the more electronic resources are allocated. Alternatively, the electronic resource pack can be allocated to one or more session objects that complete the game progress first.

In another embodiment, the battle result status includes a winning state and a losing state, and the result animation includes a first animation and a second animation. If the battle result status is a winning state, the first animation, which includes an e-resource pack, is displayed on the social conversation page; or, if the battle result status is a losing state, the second animation, which includes a text prompt animation, is displayed on the social conversation page. Under the rules set for the game, a winning state refers to the state of being the first to complete the game according to the rules. For example, if the game requires clicking on an Easter egg emoji within a set time, then if, when the set time is reached, the number of times a conversation partner clicks the Easter egg emoji is the highest among N (greater than 2) conversation partners, or is tied for the highest number with other conversation partners, it can be considered a win. It should be noted that in a one-on-one chat, if two conversation partners click on the Easter egg emoji the same number of times simultaneously, it is considered a draw. In this case, the result animation can be displayed in the manner described above for allocating e-resource packs, or the result animation of starting the next round of the game can be displayed for the conversation partners until a final winner is determined. In the winning state, the first animation displayed on the social conversation page can be an electronic resource pack (such as an electronic red envelope), as shown in Figure 9a. If conversation partner B's progress bar 9011 reaches the target progress first, the social conversation page pops up an electronic red envelope 9012, along with the corresponding prompt text "Congratulations on winning the fireworks red envelope." The losing state is the opposite of the winning state. For example, if the number of clicks on the Easter egg emoticon is not the highest within the set time, it is considered a loss. In this case, a corresponding text prompt can be output, as shown in Figure 9b. If conversation partner B does not complete the progress bar first, the social conversation page displays the text prompt animation 9022, "Almost there, try harder next time!" Furthermore, the game result may also be a draw, as shown in Figure 9c. If conversation partner A's progress bar 9031 and conversation partner B's progress bar 9032 complete simultaneously, the social conversation page outputs the text prompt 9033, "Game draw, start the next round."

The solution provided in this application involves a new message easter egg gameplay. After the sender sends an easter egg emoticon in a C2C (Consumer-to-Consumer) or group scenario, both the sender and the receiver can click on the emoticon to trigger the easter egg animation. Once more than one user triggers the easter egg at the same time, a game mode can be entered. In the game mode, a click progress bar can be displayed on the left and right sides of the AIO. The increase of the progress bar is proportional to the number of times the easter egg is clicked. The party that completes the progress bar first can receive an electronic red envelope.

In one embodiment, the social conversation page is displayed on the target terminal, and any conversation object that triggers the operation on the target emoticon refers to the currently logged-in conversation object on the target terminal. The technical content of displaying the game's battle status on the social conversation page can be: receiving the battle status of the target conversation object pushed by the server; using the battle status to update the battle status displayed on the target conversation object on the target terminal; updating the battle status displayed on the current conversation object on the target terminal and uploading the current conversation object's battle status to the server; if a push message containing the battle result status is received, then outputting the game's result animation on the social conversation page according to the battle result status. In this way, the battle status of each conversation object participating in the game can be updated synchronously. From the perspective of the current conversation object, the battle status of the target conversation object displayed on the social conversation page can be updated according to the message pushed by the server. The target conversation object is another conversation object different from the current conversation object, such as the conversation object with the highest game progress. Furthermore, the battle status of the current conversation object can also be synchronously uploaded to the server to update the battle status of the current conversation object that may be displayed on the terminals of other conversation objects. When the server sends a push message indicating the game's outcome, signifying the game's end, a result animation can be output. For example, if the current session participant wins the game, an electronic resource pack can be output; if the current session participant loses, a text prompt can be output. For details, please refer to the aforementioned description, which will not be repeated here. Based on the content described here, the following uses a game playing Easter egg animations as an example to illustrate the general interaction between the client and server. Figure 10a is a schematic diagram of a game match flow provided in an embodiment of this application.

S41: The server sends a push notification to the client to start the game. Upon receiving the game push from the backend server, the client enters game mode. Optionally, based on the opponent's completion status information included in the push, the opponent's progress can be displayed on the left side of the social conversation page in the client. Based on the current user's task completion status, their own progress is displayed on the right side, as shown in Figure 8a.

S42: The server sends a game progress update push to the client. This push allows the server to synchronize the game progress reported by other clients to the current client. For example, it can synchronize the game progress of the session with the highest progress to the terminal of the current session.

S43: The client updates the opponent's completion status. The client receives game status update push notifications, updates the opponent's game status, and continuously updates and uploads the user's own game completion status during the game (i.e., S44 and S45 below).

S44: The client updates its completion status after each user action. The completion status indicates the degree of completion of the current target task, i.e., the progress of the game. The target task can be to reach the maximum number of clicks within a set time, or to reach the preset number of clicks in the shortest possible time. The game progress is updated synchronously after each user action.

S45: The client uploads its completion status to the server. The client can upload the status to the server at regular intervals (e.g., every 2 seconds).

S46: The server sends a push notification to the client indicating that the game has ended. The push notification includes the game's outcome status on the client, which can be a win, a loss, or a draw. Different animations can be played depending on the game status.

S47: End the corresponding animation. If a game-ending notification is received from the backend server and the notification indicates a win, display an additional game-winning animation. Otherwise, display a game-losing animation.

The more detailed interaction flow between the client and server sides on the technical side is shown in Figure 10b. Figure 10b is an interaction diagram illustrating an Easter egg game in a group scenario.

Based on the group scene emoji easter egg distribution capability described in Figure 5c, the gameplay of the easter egg game can be expanded, allowing for a competition based on the number of clicks on the easter egg emojis in game mode. Since easter egg trigger data is reported to the easter egg control backend, the easter egg control backend can trigger the easter egg game gameplay based on certain conditions. As shown in Figure 10b, the information processing flow between the various terminals, including client A, client B, client C, the group message backend, and the easter egg control backend, includes:

S50: Client A clicks on the Easter egg emoji msgA, and reports the playback parameters to the Easter egg control backend.

S51: The Easter egg control backend records the number of people who triggered the current Easter egg and sends the msgA Easter egg playback parameters to the group message backend.

S53: The group message backend sends msgA, the parameters for playing the Easter egg, to clients B and C respectively.

S54: Client B clicks on the Easter egg emoji msgA, reporting the playback parameters to the Easter egg control backend. At this time, the Easter egg control backend performs the same content as S51, namely S55: The Easter egg control backend records the number of people currently triggering the Easter egg and sends the msgA Easter egg playback parameters to the group message backend.

S56: The group message backend sends the msgA easter egg playback parameters to client A and client C respectively.

S57: The background system controls the game to determine the start conditions and start the timer. The start condition can be that "more than one person triggers the emoji easter egg" at the current time.

S58: The Easter Egg Control Backend sends the game start notification to the Group Message Backend, which then sends the game start notification to Client A, Client B, and Client C.

S59: The Easter egg control backend collects Easter egg trigger data for each user and continuously synchronizes the statistical data to the group message backend.

S60: When the Easter Egg Control background timer ends, the Easter Egg Control background sends a game end notification result to the group message background, and the group message background then sends the game end notification result to client A, client B, and client C.

As can be seen, the client and backend implement a high-performance multiplayer emoji easter egg game based on real-time emoji easter egg trigger reporting, game status calculation, and game status dissemination capabilities. When client A and client B trigger the same emoji easter egg click within a certain time, the easter egg control backend determines that the current time "meets the condition of more than one person triggering the emoji easter egg," thus starting the game in the group and synchronizing the game status to clients A, B, and C within the group to indicate that the game has started. Within a certain time, the easter egg control backend continuously collects easter egg trigger data for this game and synchronizes it to all clients in the group. When the game time ends, a game end status is triggered, and the game result is synchronized to all clients. Because the easter egg control backend can uniformly obtain emoji easter egg trigger data and synchronize the game status to all clients in real time, it has strong scalability. This capability can be applied to scenarios such as firework red envelopes within the group and ranking lists for in-group game results. This helps to promote interaction and dissemination among users, enhance the chat atmosphere, and increase user message activity and total message volume. Furthermore, since the triggering of the Easter egg game is controlled by the server, the gameplay of the Easter egg game can be quickly iterated and changed according to operational needs, thereby increasing the operational capabilities of the Easter egg game.

The information processing solution provided in this application can enrich the interaction between conversation participants in social conversations by providing game-like gameplay, such as triggering easter eggs to start easter egg games. During the game, the game progress of the conversation participants can be indicated in the form of progress bars, points, etc. When the game is won, an electronic resource package can be sent to the conversation participants as a game reward. This can increase the game atmosphere, enhance the novelty and fun of social interaction, attract more conversation participants to actively participate in social conversations, thereby improving the chat atmosphere and increasing message activity rate and total message volume.
