detailed description

Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The following description refers to the same or similar elements in the different figures unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

The terminology used in the present application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments, and is not intended to be limiting. The singular forms "a", "the" and "the"

The present application provides a solution for information prompting, and the user can customize keywords that need attention. From the moment when the setting is completed, the system will help the user to pay attention to the keyword continuously. The user can occasionally take a look at whether the keyword has been mentioned in the group. If someone mentions it, it can be obtained in time without missing. If no one mentions it, the group chat content is ignored. At a glance, convenient and efficient.

It should be noted that the solution involved in the present application is applicable not only to the scene of the group message in the chat group, but also to any scene that pays attention to the public information published in the public information release area, for example, a comment occasion of a multi-person comment. Or, where the text is broadcast live, and so on. Therefore, the group message defined in the present application is not limited to the group message of the chat group, and the messages issued by multiple users in other scenarios are collectively referred to as a group message.

The method for the method for prompting information to the user provided by the application is as follows: after receiving the keyword input by the user, recording the keyword; when receiving the group message, sending the message to the user according to the keyword Group message matching keyword matching; matching the group message to the keyword The message is prompted to the user.

The client will pre-set the way to visually mark the message for prompting the user, such as highlighting, or displaying with a setting flag, and displaying the keyword matching the message to the stated manner. The user, so that the user can find a message matching the keyword or the like based on the displayed keyword. In addition to alerting the user by means of visually marking the message, the manner in which the information is presented to the user can be set to different prompting modes according to the needs of different application scenarios. For example, a prompt box can be popped up to prompt the user whether to view the matching result. Shows the number of matched keywords; you can send a notification reminder or voice reminder to the client when the number of reminders reaches a fixed number of times.

In the solution of the search keyword in the prior art, since the history message is temporarily searched only for the trigger instruction of the user, the keyword does not need to be saved, but in the solution, the keyword may be recorded in advance, so that the subsequent pair can be implemented. The process of automated search for new messages in group messages. The prior art is to search for historical messages, that is, when a user's keyword is received, and the present application searches for each time a group message is received. Since the group message is continuously updated, the search is performed. The action is constantly being carried out, unlike the prior art being just a one-time action. It is also because this application is a process of continuously matching the group messages that are continuously received, so that the user can feel the effect of continuously updating the matching results dynamically, instead of presenting the one-time search to the user like the prior art solution. As a result, the experience brought by the application to the user is greatly improved, and is particularly suitable for the case where a specific message is tracked in the group message.

The method for prompting information to the user in the application can be applied to both the server and the client. When the server is running, no matter whether the client is enabled or not, the execution of the solution is not hindered. When the client is opened, the user can view the attention at any time. Information. In order to explain the present application in more detail, the following describes the solution of the present application from the client side and the server side respectively. The client and server described below refer to the client and server in the instant messaging system, of course, in other systems. In the case of, for example, a comment system or a text live broadcast system, a client and a server may also be included. 1 is a flow diagram of an embodiment of a method of information cue execution on the server side.

When a user logs in to the instant messaging tool for the first time, they may not join any user group. After logging in, they can search through the user interface, create or otherwise join a user group, and the server will record the group identifier and the user ID. Correlation relationship, when each user in the group exchanges information through the respective client, the server first identifies, by the group identification information, which group the received interaction information is related to, and then, through the user identifier, the group belonging to the group A message is sent to the user.

The application provides a keyword input interface for the user on the client. When the user opens the group chat window, the keyword input interface is displayed. After the user inputs the keyword, the client sends the keyword and the user identifier to the server;

The server identifies the received keyword and the user identifier of the user (step 101); monitors the group message under the user identifier from the moment the keyword is received, and receives the group identifier. When the new message is received, the keyword is matched according to a predetermined rule (step 102). If the keyword is matched, the keyword is tagged in the group message, and then the tagged message is sent to the user identifier according to the user identifier. Client (step 103). After receiving the group message with the label, the page update is performed according to the label on the interface of the group message, so that the user sees the message with the visual mark on the client, so that it is possible to see at a glance whether there is a group message that needs attention.

An embodiment of performing a message prompt on the client is described below. Different from the embodiment described in FIG. 1, when performing step 101, since the method is executed on the client, the client only needs to recognize the received keyword without identifying the user identifier of the user; the client The group message sent by the server is monitored from the moment the keyword is received. When the client receives the new message under the group identity, the keyword is matched according to a predetermined rule, if the keyword is matched. One of the ways in which the client displays the keyword visually on the interface is to refer to the method in step 103, that is, the keyword may be tagged in the group message, and then the page is displayed according to the tag on the interface of the group message. Updates; in addition to this, it is also possible to visually mark keywords based on the rules of pre-pre-set visual markers, without having to tag the keywords.

Regardless of whether it is executed on the client side or the server side, in a preferred manner, the predetermined rule in step 102 may be matched according to a preset time interval, and the time interval may be set to different frequencies according to requirements, such as 3 seconds, 5 seconds, and the like. , this application does not match the keywords in real time. Instead, the keyword is matched by setting the time interval that the user can tolerate. It is a solution that fully analyzes the characteristics of the user's attention to the topic of the group message, which can satisfy the user's demand for group message attention and can effectively reduce it. The processing pressure of the equipment. In addition, the predetermined rule may also be to match a new message in the group message; or, to match all new messages in the interval according to a preset time interval, and the like.

As a preferred method, the server or the client may count the number of matched keywords when matching the keyword, and send the counting result to the client to remind the display. In addition, you can also set a re-statistic trigger button on the client. When the user triggers the re-stated command, the server will clear the count result and start counting again from this moment.

In an embodiment, the user may input multiple keywords, pre-set the rules for tagging each keyword, and the client presets rules for identifying various tags, and sends the tagged group message to the client. After that, the client updates the current interface according to the rules of the corresponding identification tag, and displays the interface after the visual tag. Further, the keyword may be further divided into a primary keyword and a secondary keyword, and the predetermined rule set by the server further includes matching according to the priority level of each of the keywords (not described in FIG. 1), and prioritizing different priorities. Level keywords are reminded in different ways. For example, the highest priority keyword is vibrated to alert, and when the client receives the group message with the keyword with the highest level tag, the vibration alert command is triggered.

FIG. 2 is a timing diagram of the method performed by the server in an embodiment. FIG. 3 is a timing diagram of the method performed by the client in an embodiment. The comparison between the two figures may provide a clearer and more intuitive understanding of the above description.

Corresponding to the above method for information prompting, the present application also provides an apparatus for information prompting, which is applicable to both the server side and the client end, and does not hinder the execution of the scheme when the server side is running regardless of whether the client is turned on or not. When the client is opened, you can view the information of interest at any time. The device embodiment may be implemented by software, or may be implemented by hardware or a combination of hardware and software. Taking the software implementation as an example, as a logical means, the processor of the device in which it is located reads the corresponding computer program instructions in the non-volatile memory into the memory.
