[0029] The following describes embodiments of the present disclosure in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0030] In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "including" and similar terms should be understood as open inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The term "some embodiments" should be understood as "at least some embodiments". Other explicit and implicit definitions may be included below.

[0031] As discussed above, when using instant messaging services, people typically need to enter the instant messaging session interface to access new messages. Some instant messaging services may also notify users of new messages through pop-up windows. However, this message presentation method is limited and inefficient, making it difficult for people to efficiently access newly received messages in an instant messaging session.

[0032] However, such pop-up notifications are often inefficient. For one thing, they may not effectively provide a preview of newly received messages. For example, for image-based messages, such pop-up notifications typically only indicate that a single image message has been received. Furthermore, the organization of such unread message notifications is inefficient, making it difficult for people to accurately identify new messages in their focused conversations (e.g., from specific friends).

[0033] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a solution for presenting conversation messages. According to the solution, a widget associated with a target conversation may be provided, and the widget may at least present descriptive information about the target conversation.

[0034] Furthermore, when a new message in the target conversation is received, a visual representation of the at least one message may be presented using the widget, wherein the representation type of the visual representation is determined based on the message type of the at least one message.

[0035] Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure can effectively present messages in a specific conversation that the user is interested in to the user in the form of a widget, and can provide richer types of visual presentations as previews of the messages.

[0036] Various example implementations of this solution are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Sample Environment

[0038] First, reference is made to FIG1 , which schematically illustrates an example environment 100 in which an exemplary implementation according to the present disclosure may be implemented. As shown in FIG1 , the example environment 100 may include an electronic device 110 .

[0039] As shown in Figure 1, electronic device 110 may be, for example, a smart terminal (eg, a smartphone), which can provide a graphical interface 120 as shown in Figure 1. Interface 120 may be, for example, a desktop interface of the smart terminal.

[0040] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may be loaded with an instant messaging application or other application capable of providing instant messaging services, hereinafter collectively referred to as a target application. Such a target application can provide the user with instant messaging services with other users or groups.

[0041] In the target application, a user may create one or more sessions, each of which may correspond to a chat with a different user and / or group. For example, a session may correspond to a single chat with a specific friend, or a session may correspond to a group chat with multiple friends.

[0042] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1, electronic device 110 may further provide widgets 130-1 and 130-2 (individually or collectively referred to as widgets 130) corresponding to sessions in the target application. Widgets, also known as widgets, are various types of plug-ins or components provided on a specific page (e.g., the system desktop).

[0043] In some embodiments, the user can create the widget 130 through the operating system portal of the electronic device 110. For example, the user can long press the system desktop to enter the widget configuration interface for adding a widget.

[0044] For example, in the widget configuration interface, the user can view the widgets supported by various system applications and / or user applications of the electronic device 110. Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can receive a user's request to create a widget via the widget configuration interface and can, for example, add the widget corresponding to the target application to the system desktop.

[0045] In some embodiments, the widget configuration interface may, for example, provide a session selection entry for the user to configure the session associated with the current widget.

[0046] In some embodiments, a user may also create a widget 130 through the target application's session interface. For example, as shown in FIG1 , the target application's session interface is a session interface 140 with "Friend B." The user may, for example, request the creation of a widget corresponding to the session through session interface 140, and the target application may automatically add a widget 130-2 corresponding to the session to the system desktop.

[0047] As shown in FIG1 , the widget 130 may have a substantially square shape, for example. Alternatively, it may have any other suitable layout, for example, a rectangular, circular, or elliptical shape. In some embodiments, one or more of the layout position, size, and shape of the widget 130 may be configured by the user.

[0048] For example, the target application may provide widget styles corresponding to different sizes and / or shapes, which are selected by the user and moved to any appropriate location on the system desktop.

[0049] In some embodiments, the shape and size of the widget 130 may not be changeable by the user, and the widget 130 may be fixed to a specific area on the negative first screen of the system.

[0050] As will be described in detail below, such a widget 130 can be used to present messages received in a conversation.

[0051] It should be understood that although the electronic device 110 is shown as a smartphone in FIG1 , it may also be any other appropriate device, including but not limited to: a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a personal digital assistant, a smart wearable device, a vehicle-mounted device, etc.

[0052] Various example implementations of using widgets to implement message presentation are described in detail below.

[0053] Example styles for widgets

[0054] First, example styles of a widget according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C .

[0055] FIG2A shows an example widget 200A according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG2A , the widget 200A may include, for example, description information of a session associated with the widget 200A (eg, a single chat session with “Friend A”).

[0056] Such descriptive information may include, for example, the identifiers of the participants in the conversation, such as the avatar 210 of "Friend A" and the identity 230 of "Friend A" (their nickname and / or notes). In the example of FIG2A , the widget 200A is associated with a one-on-one chat conversation with "Friend A." Therefore, the identity 230 can also be understood as the identifier of the one-on-one chat conversation.

[0057] Additionally, the widget 200A may also present a participant's status indicator 220, which may, for example, use different colors to indicate whether the participant is currently online. For example, green may indicate that the participant is currently online, while gray may indicate that the participant is currently offline.

[0058] In addition, as shown in FIG. 2A , the widget 200A may further include text for guiding the user to enter a chat.

[0059] In another example, Figure 2B shows an example widget 200B according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2B, the widget 200B may include description information of a session associated with the widget 200B (eg, a single chat session with "Friend A").

[0060] In addition to the avatar 210 , status indicator 220 , and identity indicator 230 discussed with reference to FIG. 2A , the widget 200B may also present a persistent status 240 of the conversation, such as “chatting for 21 consecutive days”, to indicate that the conversation is in a long-term active state.

[0061] In another example, Figure 2C shows an example widget 200C according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2C, the widget 200C may include description information of a conversation associated with the widget 200C (eg, a group chat conversation with "Group C").

[0062] As shown in Figure 2C, the widget 200C may present the identifiers of multiple participants in the group chat session "Group C", such as avatars 250. In addition, the widget 200C may also provide an identifier 260 of the group chat session.

[0063] In some embodiments, widgets 200A, 200B, and 200C may receive a selection operation. For example, after the user clicks widget 200A, widget 200B, and widget 200C, electronic device 110 may present a corresponding conversation interface.

[0064] For example, if the user clicks on the widget 200A shown in FIG. 2A , the electronic device 110 may present a conversation interface of the target application, such as the interface 300 shown in FIG. 3 .

[0065] In the interface 300 , the user can communicate with “friend A” via the instant messaging service provided by the target application.

[0066] Widget-based message presentation

[0067] The following will describe how to use a widget to present different types of messages in an instant messaging session. In some embodiments, when a new message is received in a session corresponding to a widget, the widget may provide a visual representation of the message accordingly.

[0068] It should be understood that the refresh of the widget can be actively performed by the running target application. Alternatively, when the target application is in an inactive state, for example, the refresh of the widget can also be performed via an independent interface.

[0069] Presentation of text symbol messages

[0070] First, a widget for presenting a text symbol message according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figures 4A to 4C. A text symbol message refers to a message composed of one or more characters and / or symbols. Such symbols may include, for example, emoticons, emojis, etc.

[0071] FIG4A illustrates an example widget 400A according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG4A , the widget 400A may present a visual representation 405 of a received new text symbol message.

[0072] Specifically, if the length of the text symbol message is less than a threshold length so that the widget 400A can be completely presented, the widget 400A may present the entire content of the text symbol message as its corresponding visual representation.

[0073] Additionally, the widget 400A may also present the identifier 410 of the sender of the message and the sending and / or receiving time 415 of the message.

[0074] In some embodiments, if the length of the text symbol message reaches a threshold length, the widget may present only a portion of the content of the text symbol message as its visual representation.

[0075] For example, FIG4B shows another widget 400B according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. When the length of a received text symbol message reaches a threshold length, the widget 400B may present only a portion 420 of the text symbol content as its visual representation. The unpresented content may be replaced by, for example, ellipsis.

[0076] In addition, the widget 400B may also similarly present the identifier 425 of the sender of the message and the sending and / or receiving time 430 of the message.

[0077] Figure 4C further illustrates another widget 400C according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 4C , upon receiving a text symbol message composed of emoticons, widget 400B may render the emoticons accordingly as its visual representation 435 , although the emoticons may be transmitted in an emoticon-encoded manner in the actual message.

[0078] Similarly, the widget 400B may also present the identifier 440 of the sender of the message and the sending and / or receiving time 445 of the message.

[0079] In some embodiments, when the user selects the visual representation in the widget, the electronic device 110 may correspondingly present a conversation interface of the target conversation, where the conversation interface is used to present the at least one received message.

[0080] For example, for widget 400B shown in FIG4B , the incomplete content of the message is presented as its visual representation. When the user clicks on the visual representation or other location in the widget, electronic device 110 may present, for example, conversation interface 500 as shown in FIG5 . As shown in FIG5 , in interface 500B, electronic device 110 may present the complete content 510 of the message.

[0081] Based on this approach, the embodiments of the present disclosure can conveniently and efficiently provide a preview of text symbol messages in a specific conversation through a widget, thereby improving the efficiency of users in obtaining text symbol messages.

[0082] Presentation of image messages

[0083] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also provide a visual representation of an image message through a widget. An image message is a message that includes visual content, such as pictures and / or video messages in a conversation.

[0084] Figure 6A illustrates an example widget 600A according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 6A , widget 600A may present a visual representation 605 of a received new picture message. For example, electronic device 110 may directly fill the background of widget 600A with the picture in the picture message, thereby providing the visual representation 605 of the picture message. The picture in such a picture message may include, for example, static pictures and / or dynamic pictures.

[0085] Additionally, the widget 600A may also similarly present the identifier 610 of the sender of the voice message and the sending and / or receiving time 615 of the voice message.

[0086] In addition, widget 1000A may also include a quick reply entry for replying to the voice message, such as an image or video reply entry 620. A user may select the image or video reply entry 620 to activate the image capture device of electronic device 110 to capture a reply image or video. Furthermore, the reply image or video may be automatically sent to the target conversation, for example, as a reply to the received image message.

[0087] As another example, FIG6B illustrates an example widget 600B according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG6B , widget 600A may present a visual representation 625 of a received new video message. For example, electronic device 110 may directly fill a specific frame in the video message as the background of widget 600B, thereby providing the visual representation 625 of the video message. In some embodiments, the specific frame may be, for example, the starting frame of the video message, a cover frame, or any other designated frame.

[0088] Additionally, widget 600B may also provide information about the length of the video. In some embodiments, when a user first views widget 600B, widget 600B may, for example, play part or all of the video message in a muted state within the widget window. Alternatively, the user may, for example, click the play button 630 within the widget to trigger muted or unmuted playback of the message within the widget.

[0089] Additionally, the widget 600B may also similarly present the identifier 635 of the sender of the voice message and the sending and / or receiving time 640 of the voice message. Furthermore, the widget 1000A may also include, for example, a quick reply entry for replying to the voice message, such as a picture or video reply entry 645. For example, the user may select the picture or video reply entry 645 to activate the image capture device of the electronic device 110 to obtain a reply picture or reply video. Furthermore, the reply picture or reply video may be automatically sent to the target conversation, for example, as a reply to the received video message.

[0090] 7A and 7B , the triggering logic of widgets 600A and 600B will be described. For example, when a user selects visual representation 605 in widget 600A or clicks anywhere in widget 600A other than reply entry 620 , electronic device 110 may present conversation interface 700A to display picture message 710 .

[0091] In some embodiments, when the user selects the visual representation 605 in the widget 600A, or clicks a location other than the reply entry 620 in the widget 600A, the picture message 710 may be presented in the interface 700A in a full-screen mode.

[0092] As another example, when the user selects the visual representation 625 in the widget 600B, or clicks a location other than the play button 630 and the reply entry 645 in the widget 600B, the electronic device 110 may present the conversation interface 700B to present the video message 720 .

[0093] In some embodiments, the video message 720 can be presented in the conversation interface of the target conversation in full-screen mode and automatically played. Alternatively, the video message can be presented in the conversation interface of the target conversation in non-full-screen mode and automatically played in silence or started playing only in response to a user selection.

[0094] In addition, when the user selects, for example, the reply entry 620 in the widget 600A or the reply entry 645 in the widget 600B, the electronic device 110 may convert the widget 600A or the widget 600B to the viewfinder state as shown in FIG. 8 .

[0095] As shown in FIG8 , in the viewfinder state, the widget 800 can capture images or videos using an image capture device (e.g., a front camera or a rear camera) of the electronic device 110. Additionally, the reply entry 620 or the reply entry 645 in the widget can automatically transform into a viewfinder 810 for controlling the capture, pause, or stop of an image or video.

[0096] Furthermore, after the user completes recording the reply picture or reply video using the widget 800 in the framing state, the electronic device 110 may automatically send the reply picture or reply video to the target conversation.

[0097] For example, as shown in FIG9 , in conversation interface 900, electronic device 110 can send a reply image 910 to the conversation as a reply to the received image. Additionally, in conversation interface 900, reply image 910 can also be automatically marked as a reply to the received specific image message using, for example, the text "Reply to friend A."

[0098] Based on this approach, the embodiments of the present disclosure can utilize widgets to quickly provide previews of picture / video messages, and can also support quick replies to picture / video messages, thereby improving the efficiency of message acquisition and interaction.

[0099] Presentation of specific types of messages such as voice

[0100] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also provide a visual representation of specific types of messages in the conversation, such as audio messages, through a widget. Such specific types of messages may include, for example, voice messages, red envelope messages, location messages, meeting messages, invitation messages, or hyperlink messages.

[0101] FIG10A illustrates an example widget 1000A according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG10A , the widget 1000A may present a visual representation 1005 of a received new voice message using text. Additionally, the widget 1000A may also similarly present the identifier 1010 of the sender of the voice message and the time 1015 at which the voice message was sent and / or received.

[0102] In addition, widget 1000A may also include a quick reply entry for replying to the voice message, such as voice reply entry 1020. The user may select voice reply entry 1020 to activate the voice capture device of electronic device 110 to capture the reply audio. Furthermore, the reply audio may be automatically sent to the target conversation, for example, as a reply to the received voice message.

[0103] FIG10B shows an example widget 1000B according to yet other embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG10B , the widget 1000B may also graphically present a visual representation 1025 of a received new voice message. For example, the widget 1000B may indicate that a voice message has been received in the conversation by graphically representing an audio waveform.

[0104] In addition, similar to the widget 1000A, the widget 1000B may also present the sender's ID 1030 of the voice message and the sending and / or receiving time 1035 of the voice message. Additionally, the widget 1000B may also provide a voice reply entry 1040 for quickly replying to audio.

[0105] In some embodiments, when a user, for example, clicks on the visual representation 1005 or 1025 in the widget 1000A and / or 1000B, or clicks on a portion of the widget 1000A and / or 1000B other than the voice reply entry 1020 or 1040, the electronic device 110 may present, for example, a conversation interface 1100 as shown in FIG11 . As shown in FIG11 , in the interface 1100B, the electronic device 110 may present a voice message 1110.

[0106] In some embodiments, after receiving the user's selection of the visual representation 1005 or 1025 , the electronic device 110 may present the conversation interface 1100 and cause the voice message 1110 to be automatically played.

[0107] Although the above discusses the presentation of specific types of messages with reference to voice messages, it should be understood that other specific types of messages, such as red envelope messages, location messages, meeting messages, file messages, invitation messages or hyperlink messages, can also be presented through similar mechanisms.

[0108] For example, for a red envelope message received in a conversation, the electronic device 110 may present a red envelope pattern in the widget or provide a text representation, such as “a red envelope was sent”.

[0109] For example, for a location message received in a session, the electronic device 110 may present a graphical location representation in a map format in the widget or provide a text representation, such as “a location was sent”.

[0110] For example, for a conference message received in a conversation, the electronic device 110 may present a graphical symbol of the conference in the widget or provide a text representation, such as “Conference information sent”.

[0111] For example, for a conference message received in a conversation, the electronic device 110 may present a graphic symbol of the file in the widget (eg, based on the format of the file) or provide a text representation, such as “a file was sent”.

[0112] For example, for an invitation message received in a session (e.g., a group invitation), the electronic device 110 may present a graphic symbol corresponding to the invitation message (e.g., an avatar of the group to be invited) in the widget or provide a text representation, such as "Group invitation sent."

[0113] For example, for a hyperlink message received in a conversation, the electronic device 110 may present a quick preview of the link in the widget or provide a text representation, such as “a hyperlink has been sent”.

[0114] In some embodiments, similar to the voice messages described above, for other specific types of messages described above, the electronic device 110 supports, for example, triggering an associated interactive operation corresponding to the type of the specific type of message by the user interacting with the corresponding visual representation. For example, the user can directly trigger an operation of opening a red envelope by clicking on the visual representation of a red envelope message, directly trigger an operation of joining a group by clicking on the visual representation of a group invitation message, directly trigger an operation of downloading a file by clicking on the visual representation of a file message, and so on.

[0115] Based on this approach, the embodiments of the present disclosure can conveniently and efficiently provide previews of various specific types of messages in a specific conversation through widgets, thereby improving the efficiency of users in obtaining messages.

[0116] Other examples

[0117] The above describes various examples of using widgets to quickly present related messages with reference to text symbol messages, picture and video messages, and other specific types of messages such as voice. In addition, the above also describes examples of image and video reply portals and voice reply portals in conjunction with picture and video messages and voice messages.

[0118] It should be understood that the above quick reply portal can also be applied to any other appropriate type of message. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also use a widget to provide an emoticon reply portal, which can, for example, provide a set of candidate emoticons to choose from. For example, the user can click on any candidate emoticon to complete a quick emoticon reply to the message. For example, the emoticon can be sent to the conversation as an independent message, or the emoticon can be presented in association with the message in the conversation interface as a quick reply to a specific message, for example, as a like for a message.

[0119] Based on the various examples described above, embodiments of the present disclosure can determine the type of visual representation of a message in a widget (e.g., text representation, graphic representation, or video representation, etc.) based on the message type of a message received in a conversation (e.g., a text symbol message, a picture or video message, or a specific type of message such as voice).

[0120] Additionally or alternatively, the fill color of the background in the widget can be determined based on attributes associated with the target session. For example, in cases where there are no messages in the session or there are text message symbols, the fill color of the widget background can be determined based on the avatars of the participants associated with the target session (e.g., avatars of friends) or the image identifier of the target session (e.g., avatars of group chats).

[0121] In some embodiments, the fill style of the widget background can be determined based on properties associated with the visual representation. For example, if the visual representation includes graphical information, the fill color of the widget background can be determined based on the color of the graphical information. For example, if the visual representation includes an emoticon, the widget background can be filled with a color that is similar to the emoticon's color but with a different saturation, thereby forming a more cohesive color display style.

[0122] Furthermore, as discussed above with reference to various examples, it can be seen that, in a widget, the display style and / or display position of the target conversation's descriptive information (e.g., a friend's nickname, avatar, status indicator, etc.) can be determined based on the representation type of the visual representation to be presented. For example, when image content is presented as a visual representation, the specific content and / or presentation style of the descriptive information presented can be different from when text symbol content is presented as a visual representation.

[0123] Therefore, the embodiments of the present disclosure can provide richer types of message previews, thereby improving the efficiency of users in obtaining messages.

[0124] Multiple message presentation

[0125] The above examples are mainly described for the case of a single message. The embodiments of the present disclosure can also use widgets to provide reminders of multiple unread messages.

[0126] FIG12A shows an example widget 1200 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG12A , the widget 1200 may present, for example, a visual representation of multiple messages in a conversation with “Friend A”.

[0127] In some embodiments, widget 1200 may aggregate multiple messages and present them as prompt information 1240 to indicate that there are currently three unread messages. Furthermore, widget 1200 may also indicate the number of dimension messages using a numerical identifier 1220. Similarly, widget 1200 may also present an avatar 1210 and an identity identifier 1230 of "Friend A."

[0128] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 12B , when the number of unread messages is greater than a predetermined threshold (eg, 99), the digital identifier 1220 may be represented by a predetermined pattern, such as “99+”.

[0129] In some embodiments, in addition to presenting prompt information indicating the number of unread messages, the widget may also present a visual representation of one of the unread messages. For example, FIG13A shows an example widget 1300 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0130] As shown in FIG. 13A , in addition to prompt information about the number of unread messages, the widget 1300 further provides a visual representation 1310 of one of the unread messages (eg, the most recent unread message).

[0131] Furthermore, when a downward sliding operation 1320 is received on the widget 1300 as shown in FIG13B , the widget 1300 may be switched to display a visual representation 1330 of another unread message as shown in FIG13C .

[0132] In some embodiments, the switching of different messages may also be executed accordingly in response to a user triggering operation on a preset switching control associated with the widget, for example.

[0133] Furthermore, if the user clicks on the visual representation 1330, the electronic device 1100 may present the conversation interface of the target conversation, and may cause the message corresponding to the selected visual representation 1330 to be highlighted in the conversation interface or adjusted to an appropriate display position.

[0134] Based on this approach, the embodiments of the present disclosure can utilize widgets to implement aggregated presentation of multiple messages, and can quickly preview multiple unread messages through appropriate sliding interactions, thereby improving the efficiency of message interaction.

[0135] Session switching

[0136] In some embodiments, a single widget may also be configured to be associated with multiple sessions. In some embodiments, in the configuration state of the widget, the user may configure the single widget to be associated with multiple different sessions and may configure the presentation priorities of the multiple sessions.

[0137] For example, the configured widget always presents messages of a first conversation of a first priority in the initial state of the system desktop, and can be switched to display messages of a second conversation of a second priority by sliding.

[0138] FIG14A illustrates an example widget 1400 according to an implementation of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG14A , in its current state, widget 1400 may be used to present messages related to a first conversation with "Friend A." Accordingly, widget 1400 may present descriptive information about the first conversation, such as a conversation representation or participant identifiers of the first conversation.

[0139] Furthermore, as shown in FIG14B , after receiving a left swipe operation 1410 on widget 1400, widget 1400 may switch to displaying messages related to the second conversation with "Friend B," as shown in FIG14C . Accordingly, widget 1400 may present descriptive information about the second conversation, such as a conversation representation or participant identifiers of the second conversation.

[0140] In some embodiments, switching between different sessions may also be performed accordingly in response to a user triggering operation on a preset switching control associated with a widget, for example.

[0141] In some embodiments, the display priority of different conversations in the widget can also change dynamically. For example, when a conversation receives a new unread message, its display priority can be increased and can always be switched to be directly presented in the widget without switching. Alternatively, the display priority of different conversations in the widget can also be based on the number of unread messages.

[0142] Based on this approach, embodiments of the present disclosure can also support using a single widget to aggregate and provide related messages of multiple sessions, thereby improving the efficiency of message presentation and acquisition.

[0143] Provision of visual components

[0144] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may further present a visual component corresponding to the session in the session aggregation interface. Figure 15 shows a schematic diagram 1500 of presenting a session aggregation interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0145] As shown in FIG15 , electronic device 110 may also present visual components 1520-1 and 1520-2 (individually or collectively referred to as visual components 1320) corresponding to the sessions in the target application in session aggregation interface 1510. For example, such visual components may include card-type components, tile-type components, etc. In some embodiments, such visual components may be independently editable, for example, they may be created, moved, deleted, etc.

[0146] 15 , the content presented in the visualization component 1520 may correspond to the content presented in the widget 130. For example, the visualization component 1520 may have a shape similar to that of the widget 130, and its size may be scaled accordingly to fit the display in the session aggregation interface 1510.

[0147] Additionally, the content presented in visualization component 1520 can be updated, for example, along with widget 130. In some embodiments, visualization component 1520 and widget 130 can be updated independently of each other, while always maintaining the corresponding displayed content. Alternatively, updates to the content in visualization component 1520 and widget 130 can always depend on each other. For example, updates to visualization component 1520 can trigger corresponding updates to the corresponding widget 130.

[0148] In some embodiments, visualization component 1520 may, for example, have the same interaction logic as corresponding widget 130. For example, selecting visualization component 1520 may also trigger electronic device 110 to present a conversation interface corresponding to the target conversation. For other interaction mechanisms, refer to the description of widget 130 above and will not be repeated here.

[0149] Based on this approach, embodiments of the present disclosure can also utilize one or more visualization components in the session aggregation interface to conveniently provide a visualization of messages received in a session, thereby facilitating users to more quickly and intuitively obtain the message content in the session.
