However, a person skilled in the art will understand that the method according to the embodiments of the present application can also be applied to fixed type terminals.

[0060] ​Step 101, receiving a first input for a first conversation group.

[0061] Optionally, any group member of the aforementioned first conversation group can input the first input for the first conversation group to the instant messaging device, so that the instant messaging device can receive the first input. The first conversation group can be a user group of a certain instant messaging application.

[0062] Optionally, in the case that the instant messaging device is a smart phone, the instant messaging method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be used in various scenarios such as work or life.

[0063] Optionally, in the case that the instant messaging device is a desktop computer, the instant messaging method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be generally used in a work scenario.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, the first input can be a touch input, a voice input, a gesture input, or a key input of the instant messaging device, or can be a first operation.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, the aforementioned first input can include but is not limited to any of the following: a preset gesture input, a click input, a preset track input, an input to a control, an input to a physical key or a combination of physical keys of the instant messaging device, etc. In the embodiments of the present application, the aforementioned first input is used to trigger the display of the first conversation interface of the first conversation group. The first input can be a first operation. Illustratively, the aforementioned first input includes but is not limited to: a touch input of the instant messaging device by a user through a touch device such as a finger or a stylus, or a voice instruction input by the user, or a specific gesture input by the user, or other feasible inputs, which can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. The specific gesture in the embodiments of the present application can be any one of a single-click gesture, a sliding gesture, a drag gesture, a pressure recognition gesture, a long-press gesture, an area change gesture, a double-press gesture, and a double-click gesture; the click input in the embodiments of the present application can be a single-click input, a double-click input, or any number of click inputs, etc., and can also be a long-press input or a short-press input. For example, the aforementioned first input can be a click input of a certain control in a first interface displayed on the instant messaging device by the user. The first interface can be an interface for displaying chat conversations of the instant messaging application.

[0066] For example, in the case that the first input is a specific gesture input by the user, the interface displayed by the instant messaging device can be switched to the first conversation interface of the first conversation group.

[0067] Illustratively, the click input can be an input of clicking an identifier of a chat conversation of the first conversation group in the first interface.

[0068] It can be understood that each of the above-mentioned inputs is an exemplary enumeration, that is, the embodiments of the present application include but are not limited to each of the above-mentioned inputs. In actual implementation, the input can also include any other possible input, which can be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited.

[0069] Step 102, in response to the first input, displaying the first session component in the first session interface of the first session group.

[0070] The first session component is a group entrance of the second session interface of the second session group, and the group members of the second session group are all group members of the first session group.

[0071] Optionally, after the instant messaging device receives the first input of the first session group, the first session interface of the first session group can be displayed in response to the first input.

[0072] It should be noted that before step 102, a subgroup of the first session group has been created with part of the group members of the first session group as all group members. The subgroup is the second session group. Therefore, the group members of the second session group are all group members of the first session group.

[0073] In the case that the first user is a group member of the second session group, the first user is necessarily a group member of the first session group, and the first session component can be added to the first session interface of the first session group displayed by the instant messaging device.

[0074] The component is a simple encapsulation of data and methods. The first session component can be a group entrance of the second session interface of the second session group. In response to the input of the group member of the first session group to the first session component, the second session interface of the second session group can be triggered to be displayed.

[0075] The first session component can be located in the first area of the first session interface of the first session group.

[0076] Optionally, the first area can be any position in the first session interface of the first session group. The specific position of the first area is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0077] Optionally, the first area includes but is not limited to a top area, a bottom area, a left area or a right area in the chat interface of the target group.

[0078] Optionally, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the first conversation group is a "department group", and the second conversation group is a "development discussion group". The first conversation component 201 can be displayed in the first conversation interface of the first conversation group. Figure 2 As shown, the first conversation component 201 is displayed for the group members of the second conversation group. For the group members of the second conversation group, the first conversation component 201 can include at least one of the group name of the second conversation group and the conversation messages input by any of the group members of the second conversation group in the second conversation interface. In response to the input of the first conversation component 201 by any of the group members of the second conversation group, the second conversation interface of the second conversation group can be directly displayed. Compared with the prior art, the second conversation interface of the second conversation group can be directly displayed in the first conversation interface of the first conversation group, and the group members of the second conversation group can be more conveniently guided to the second conversation interface of the second conversation group. Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the first conversation component 201 is displayed for other group members of the group members of the first conversation group. The other group members are not group members of the second conversation group. For the other group members, the first conversation component 201 can include the group name of the second conversation group, but does not include the conversation messages input by any of the group members of the second conversation group in the second conversation interface. In response to the input of the first conversation component 201 by any of the group members of the first conversation group who are not group members of the second conversation group, a first request of the group member to join the second conversation group can be sent; and in the case where first feedback information is received, the second conversation interface of the second conversation group can be displayed. The first feedback information is used to indicate that the first request has been accepted.

[0079] Through the above steps, the group members of the second conversation group can more conveniently enter the second conversation interface of the second conversation group for group chatting based on the first conversation interface of the first conversation group, the chatting content is more focused, and the group members of the first conversation group who are not group members of the second conversation group will not see the chatting messages of the second conversation group and will not be disturbed by the chatting of the second conversation group.

[0227] Optionally, after receiving the ninth input, the instant messaging device can re-create the second session group associated with the first session group based on the stored group name and member information of the group members of the second session group in response to the ninth input.

[0228] The embodiments of the present application can achieve one-key recovery of the second session group by storing the group name and member information of the group members of the second session group as the history session group information when the second session group is deleted, and then re-creating the second session group associated with the first session group based on the stored group name and member information of the group members of the second session group, which is simpler and more convenient to operate.

[0229] For the convenience of understanding the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, the implementation process of the instant messaging method is described below in combination with the examples of two first conversation groups.

[0230] Exemplarily, the first conversation group "A Grade B Class Classroom Parents Exchange Group" is a life group of the instant messaging application. The group members are 45 people, mainly including the Chinese teacher, the mathematics teacher, the English teacher and parents of students (e.g. Xiaoming's father and Xiaohua's mother). In order to concentrate on discussing the related problems of the teaching of the class, the mathematics teacher as the class teacher can input the first input of the group creation option and the three group members of the Chinese teacher, the mathematics teacher and the English teacher based on the first conversation group "A Grade B Class Classroom Parents Exchange Group", so as to create the second conversation group "A Grade B Class Teaching Exchange Group". After the second conversation group "A Grade B Class Teaching Exchange Group" is created, the first conversation interface of the first conversation group "A Grade B Class Classroom Parents Exchange Group" displays the first conversation component and can display the first message. The Chinese teacher, the mathematics teacher or the English teacher can enter the second conversation interface of the second conversation group "A Grade B Class Teaching Exchange Group" by clicking the first conversation component and the like. The first conversation component can include the group name "A Grade B Class Teaching Exchange Group" of the second conversation group and the conversation message input by any one of the group members of the second conversation group in the second conversation interface. After the temporary teaching exchange is completed, the related problems of the discussion exchange can be suspended, and the Chinese teacher can input the fifth input of the second conversation group "A Grade B Class Teaching Exchange Group" to set the second conversation group to the frozen state. In the frozen state, the English teacher can input the seventh input of the second conversation group "A Grade B Class Teaching Exchange Group" to view the displayed historical conversation record of the second conversation group. In the case of needing to carry out teaching exchange again, the English teacher can input the fifth input of the second conversation group "A Grade B Class Teaching Exchange Group" to set the second conversation group to the frozen release state. After the current school year, the Chinese teacher can input the eighth input of the second conversation group "A Grade B Class Teaching Exchange Group" to delete the second conversation group "A Grade B Class Teaching Exchange Group" and store the group name and the member information of the group members of the second conversation group as the historical conversation group information. In the case that the A Grade B class is upgraded to the (A+1) Grade B class and the Chinese teacher, the mathematics teacher and the English teacher still undertake the teaching task of the class, the Chinese teacher, the mathematics teacher or the English teacher can input the ninth input of the historical conversation group information to re-create the second conversation group "A Grade B Class Teaching Exchange Group" associated with the first conversation group "A Grade B Class Classroom Parents Exchange Group" based on the stored group name and the member information of the group members of the second conversation group. Optionally, the names of the first conversation group "A Grade B Class Classroom Parents Exchange Group" and the second conversation group "A Grade B Class Teaching Exchange Group" can be modified to "(A+1) Grade B Class Classroom Parents Exchange Group" and "(A+1) Grade B Class Teaching Exchange Group" respectively.

[0231] For example, the first conversation group, "Department Large Group," is a work group within an instant messaging application. The group has 80 members, primarily including Xiao Liu, Xiao Wang, Xiao Li, Xiao Zhang, and Xiao Zhao. Xiao Liu, Xiao Wang, and Xiao Li mainly handle development tasks. To centrally discuss development-related issues, Xiao Liu can create a second conversation group, "Development Discussion Group," based on the first conversation group, "Department Large Group," by inputting group creation options and initial input from Xiao Liu, Xiao Wang, and Xiao Li (the three group members). After creating the second conversation group, "Development Discussion Group," the first conversation interface of the first conversation group, "Department Large Group," displays the first conversation component and can show the first message. Xiao Liu, Xiao Wang, or Xiao Li can enter the second conversation interface of the second conversation group, "Development Discussion Group," by clicking on the first conversation component. Xiao Zhang or Xiao Zhao can join the second conversation group, "Development Discussion Group," by inputting a second message based on the need to discuss development-related issues. The first conversation component can include the group name "Development Discussion Group" of the second conversation group and the conversation message entered by any member of the second conversation group in the second conversation interface. After a development task is completed at a certain stage, discussions related to the development task can be paused. Xiao Liu can enter the fifth input for the second conversation group, "Development Discussion Group," to freeze the group. While frozen, Xiao Wang can enter the seventh input for the second conversation group to view its historical conversation records. If the next stage of the development task needs to be started, Xiao Liu can enter the fifth input for the second conversation group to unfreeze it. After the overall development task is completed, Xiao Liu can enter the eighth input for the second conversation group to delete it and store its name and members' information as historical conversation group information. If the development task needs to be restarted, Xiao Liu, Xiao Wang, or Xiao Li can enter the ninth input for the historical conversation group information to recreate the second conversation group "Development Discussion Group," which is associated with the first conversation group, "Department Group," based on the stored group name and members' information.
