[0002] With the development of internet and modern communication technologies, online communication via group chats has become a more common choice. Because group chats have many members, each member posts messages on different topics, and these messages are interspersed throughout the chat. Group members typically discuss the same topic by setting reminders for the group chat.

[0003] However, the inventors discovered that when setting up group chats using the above method, the following technical problems often occur:

[0004] Some messages in discussions on the same topic do not include the group notification keyword, causing group members to miss messages on that topic that do not include the group notification keyword, thus reducing communication efficiency.

[0032] The above-described embodiments of this disclosure have the following beneficial effects: the group chat message display method of some embodiments of this disclosure improves communication efficiency. Specifically, the reason for low communication efficiency is that some messages in discussions on the same topic do not include group reminder words, causing group members to miss messages under that topic that do not include group reminder words, thus reducing communication efficiency. Based on this, the group chat message display method of some embodiments of this disclosure firstly displays a sub-group chat page in response to detecting a selection operation on the sub-group chat entry control displayed on the main group chat page. The number of users corresponding to the sub-group chat page is less than or equal to the number of users corresponding to the main group chat page. Thus, users who have performed the selection operation on the sub-group chat entry control can enter the sub-group chat page. Then, in response to detecting a sub-group chat message posted by a target user on the sub-group chat page, the sub-group chat message is synchronized to the main group chat message set corresponding to the main group chat page to update the main group chat message set. Thus, the synchronization of messages posted by users in the sub-group chat in the main group chat can be achieved. Finally, in response to the detection of a page switching operation on the main group chat page, the updated main group chat messages from the main group chat message set are displayed on the main group chat page. This allows messages from sub-group chats to be synchronously displayed in the main group chat. Furthermore, because members of sub-group chats can access their sub-group chat pages via the sub-group chat entry control to post and view messages on the same topic, it avoids the need to search for messages on different topics interspersed throughout the main group chat, preventing message omissions and improving communication efficiency. In addition, synchronizing messages from sub-group chats to the main group chat makes it easier for users in the main group chat but not in the sub-group chats to view messages on that topic, further improving communication efficiency.

[0044] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0045] Figure 1-3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of a group chat message display method according to some embodiments of this disclosure.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, firstly, computing device 101 can display sub-group chat page 104 in response to detecting a selection operation on the sub-group chat entry control 103 displayed on the main group chat page 102. The number of users corresponding to the sub-group chat page 104 can be less than or equal to the number of users corresponding to the main group chat page 102. Optionally, the main group chat page 102 can correspond to a main group chat name 105. For example, the main group chat name 105 can be a work group chat. Then, in response to detecting a sub-group chat message 107 posted by target user 106 on the sub-group chat page 104, computing device 101 can synchronize the sub-group chat message 107 to the main group chat message set corresponding to the main group chat page 102 to update the main group chat message set. Optionally, the sub-group chat page 104 can correspond to a sub-group chat name 108. For example, the sub-group chat name 108 can be a temporary group chat for company team building. The main group chat page 102 can display main group chat messages 109 and 110. Main group chat message 109 could be: "[Relocation Notice] The company plans to relocate to [address] on [date]. Please pack your personal office supplies and miscellaneous items before leaving get off work. Colleagues who need large bags or boxes can pick them up at the front desk! We will then transport everyone's packed items to the new address. Thank you for your cooperation!" Main group chat message 110 could be: "[Company Team Building] Life moves quickly, but sometimes we need to stop, eat, drink, play, and take photos! Therefore, the company has decided to organize a team building activity! Please actively contribute your ideas to jointly decide the time and location of this team building activity!"

[0047] Finally, as Figure 3As shown, in response to detecting a page switching operation on the main group chat page 102, the computing device 101 can display the updated main group chat messages (e.g., main group chat messages 111, 112, and 113) in the main group chat page 102. The page switching operation can be a click operation to close the sub-group chat page 104 to view the main group chat page 102. Optionally, the updated main group chat message set may include main group chat messages 109, 110, 111, 112, and 113. Main group chat message 109 could be: "[Relocation Notice] The company plans to relocate to xx address on xx month xx day. Please pack your personal office supplies and miscellaneous items before leaving get off work. Colleagues who need large bags and boxes can pick them up at the front desk! We will then transport everyone's packed items to the new address. Thank you for your cooperation!" The main group chat message 110 could be: "[Company Team Building] Life moves at a fast pace, but sometimes we need to stop, eat, drink, play, and take pictures! So the company has decided to organize a team building activity! Please contribute your ideas and suggestions to help us decide the time and location!" The main group chat message 111 could be: "Where are the large bags and suitcases at the front desk? I haven't seen them." The main group chat message 112 could be: "But a certain beach is also nice; you can swim there. I wonder if everyone prefers a certain mountain or a certain beach?" The main group chat message 113 could be: "The large bags and suitcases at the front desk are on top of the cabinet, not easy to get down. I took two down and put them next to the cabinet; you can use them for now."

[0048] It should be noted that the aforementioned computing device 101 can be either hardware or software. When the computing device is hardware, it can be implemented as a distributed cluster consisting of multiple servers or terminal devices, or as a single server or a single terminal device. When the computing device is software, it can be installed within the hardware devices listed above. It can be implemented as, for example, multiple software programs or software modules used to provide distributed services, or as a single software program or software module. No specific limitations are made here.

[0049] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of computing devices shown is merely illustrative. Any number of computing devices can be used depending on implementation needs.

[0050] Continue to refer to Figure 4 The diagram illustrates a flow 400 of some embodiments of a group chat message display method according to the present disclosure. This group chat message display method includes the following steps:

[0051] Step 401: In response to detecting a selection operation on the sub-group chat entry control displayed on the main group chat page, the sub-group chat page is displayed.

[0052] In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection operation performed on a sub-group chat entry control displayed on the main group chat page, the execution body of the group chat message display method (such as...) Figure 1 The computing device 101 shown can display a sub-group chat page. The number of users corresponding to the sub-group chat page can be less than or equal to the number of users corresponding to the main group chat page. The main group chat page can be the message page of a chat group (main group chat) used for user communication. The main group chat page can display messages posted by each user corresponding to the main group chat page. The sub-group chat entry control can be a control for entering the sub-group chat page. The sub-group chat page can be the message page of a chat group (sub-group chat) used for specific users to communicate. The specific user can be a user among the users corresponding to the main group chat page who has performed the selection operation on the sub-group chat entry control. Therefore, the user who performed the selection operation on the sub-group chat entry control can enter the sub-group chat page.

[0053] Optionally, firstly, in response to detecting a selection operation performed on the sub-group chat entry control displayed on the main group chat page, the executing entity can determine the target user identifier corresponding to the selection operation. The target user identifier can be an identifier that uniquely identifies the user performing the selection operation. For example, the target user identifier can be the string "01". Then, the target user identifier can be added to the sub-group chat user identifier set corresponding to the sub-group chat page to update the sub-group chat user identifier set. Each sub-group chat user identifier in the sub-group chat user identifier set can uniquely identify each user corresponding to the sub-group chat page. Thus, the user performing the selection operation can be added to the sub-group chat.

[0054] Step 402: In response to detecting a sub-group chat message posted by the target user on the sub-group chat page, the sub-group chat message is synchronized to the main group chat message set corresponding to the main group chat page to update the main group chat message set.

[0055] In some embodiments, in response to detecting a sub-group chat message posted by a target user on the sub-group chat page, the executing entity can synchronize the sub-group chat message to the main group chat message set corresponding to the main group chat page to update the main group chat message set. The target user can be the user performing the selection operation (the user whose account is logged into the executing entity). The sub-group chat message can be a message posted by the target user on the sub-group chat page. The main group chat messages in the main group chat message set can be messages posted by each user corresponding to the main group chat page. In practice, the sub-group chat message can be copied to the main group chat message set corresponding to the main group chat page to update the main group chat message set. Thus, the synchronization of messages posted by a user in a sub-group chat to the main group chat can be achieved.

[0056] Optionally, the aforementioned sub-group chat page may correspond to sub-group chat association information. This association information may include the sub-group chat identifier and the main group chat identifier. Specifically, the sub-group chat association information may represent the association between the main group chat page and the sub-group chat page. The sub-group chat association information may be in the form of a table. The main group chat identifier may uniquely identify the main group chat.

[0057] In some optional implementations of certain embodiments, firstly, the executing entity can determine the main group chat message set corresponding to the main group chat identifier. Then, the sub-group chat messages can be synchronized to the main group chat message set to update the main group chat message set. In practice, the first step can be to determine the main group chat identifier as the association identifier of the sub-group chat messages. The association identifier can be an identifier representing the chat group associated with the sub-group chat. The second step can be to determine the sub-group chat messages whose corresponding identifier includes the main group chat identifier as main group chat messages. Thus, the synchronization of messages posted by users in sub-group chats to the main group chat can be achieved through sub-group chat association information.

[0058] In some optional implementations of certain embodiments, firstly, in response to detecting a sub-group chat message published by a target user on a sub-group chat page, the execution entity can determine whether the sub-group chat message has been selected by a target authorized user to synchronize the sub-group chat message to the main group chat message set. The target authorized user can be a user with the authority to decide whether a sub-group chat message should be synchronized to the main group chat message set. Here, the specific setting of the target authorized user is not limited. For example, the target authorized user can be the user who created the sub-group chat. Alternatively, the target authorized user can be a user represented by a sub-group chat user identifier with target permissions specified in the sub-group chat user identifier set. Then, in response to determining that the sub-group chat message has been selected by the target authorized user to synchronize the sub-group chat message to the main group chat message set, the execution entity can synchronize the sub-group chat message to the main group chat message set corresponding to the main group chat page to update the main group chat message set. Thus, sub-group chat messages can be selectively synchronized to the main group chat message set, reducing unnecessary synchronization of sub-group chat messages to the main group chat message set.

[0059] Step 403: In response to detecting a page switching operation on the main group chat page, display the updated main group chat messages in the main group chat message set on the main group chat page.

[0060] In some embodiments, in response to detecting a page switching operation on the main group chat page, the executing entity can display the updated main group chat messages in the main group chat message set on the main group chat page. The page switching operation can be an operation to switch the display of the main group chat page. The page switching operation can include, but is not limited to, click operations and swipe operations. For example, the page switching operation can be a click operation to close the sub-group chat page to view the main group chat page. Similarly, in response to detecting a swipe operation on the main group chat page, the executing entity can display the updated main group chat messages in the main group chat message set on the main group chat page. In practice, the main group chat messages in the updated main group chat message set can be displayed sequentially according to their message publication time. The message publication time can be the time when the user publishes the message. It should be noted that the message publication time of the main group chat message obtained from the sub-group chat messages can be the time when the user publishes the corresponding sub-group chat message. Therefore, messages in the sub-group chat can be synchronously displayed in the main group chat.

[0061] Optionally, the main group chat page may correspond to at least one sub-group chat page.

[0062] Optionally, in response to detecting a selection operation performed on the group chat list view control, the aforementioned executing entity can display the group chat list. The group chat list can display the main group chat icon corresponding to the main group chat page and the icons of each sub-group chat page corresponding to the main group chat page. The group chat list view control can be a control used to view the group chat list. The group chat list can be a list displaying each group chat icon.

[0063] The above-described embodiments of this disclosure have the following beneficial effects: the group chat message display method of some embodiments of this disclosure improves communication efficiency. Specifically, the reason for low communication efficiency is that some messages in discussions on the same topic do not include group reminder words, causing group members to miss messages under that topic that do not include group reminder words, resulting in reduced communication efficiency. Based on this, the group chat message display method of some embodiments of this disclosure firstly displays a sub-group chat page in response to detecting a selection operation on the sub-group chat entry control displayed on the main group chat page. The number of users corresponding to the sub-group chat page is less than or equal to the number of users corresponding to the main group chat page. Thus, users who have performed the selection operation on the sub-group chat entry control can enter the sub-group chat page. Then, in response to detecting a sub-group chat message posted by a target user on the sub-group chat page, the sub-group chat message is synchronized to the main group chat message set corresponding to the main group chat page to update the main group chat message set. Thus, it is possible to synchronize messages posted by users in the sub-group chat with the main group chat. Finally, in response to the detection of a page switching operation on the main group chat page, the updated main group chat messages from the main group chat message set are displayed on the main group chat page. This allows messages from sub-group chats to be synchronously displayed in the main group chat. Consequently, members of sub-group chats can access their sub-group chat pages via the sub-group chat entry control, posting and viewing messages on the same topic. This avoids searching for messages on different topics interspersed throughout the main group chat, prevents message omissions, and improves communication efficiency. Furthermore, synchronizing messages from sub-group chats to the main group chat makes it easier for users in the main group chat but not in the sub-group chats to view messages on that topic, allowing users who don't need to participate in the discussion to understand the content of the discussion, further improving communication efficiency.

[0064] Further reference Figure 5 This illustrates a flow 500 of another embodiment of a group chat message display method. The flow 500 of this group chat message display method includes the following steps:

[0065] Step 501: In response to detecting a target operation acting on a main group chat message displayed on the main group chat page, at least one message handling control is displayed.

[0066] In some embodiments, in response to detecting a target operation acting on the main group chat message displayed on the main group chat page, the execution body of the group chat message display method (such as...) Figure 1 The computing device 101 shown can display at least one message processing control. Among these, the message processing control includes a sub-group chat entry control. The main group chat message can be a message posted by each user corresponding to the main group chat page. Here, the specific setting of the target operation is not limited. For example, the target operation may include, but is not limited to, a long press operation or a double-click operation. The message processing control among the at least one message processing controls can be a control for processing the main group chat message. The at least one message processing control can include at least one of the following: a message processing control representing forwarded messages, and a message processing control representing saved messages. For example, the message processing control can be a message forwarding control. The message forwarding control can be a control used to forward main group chat messages. Alternatively, the message processing control can be a message saving control. The message saving control can be a control used to save messages. Therefore, by performing a target operation on the main group chat message, a sub-group chat entry control can be displayed on the main group chat page.

[0067] Step 502: In response to detecting a selection operation on the sub-group chat entry control displayed on the main group chat page, determine whether there is a sub-group chat identifier corresponding to the sub-group chat entry control.

[0068] In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection operation performed on a sub-group chat entry control displayed on the main group chat page, the aforementioned execution entity can determine whether a sub-group chat identifier corresponding to the sub-group chat entry control exists. This sub-group chat identifier can uniquely identify a sub-group chat page. In practice, it can be determined whether a sub-group chat identifier corresponding to the sub-group chat entry control exists in the cache. Therefore, it can be determined whether a sub-group chat page exists.

[0069] Step 503: In response to determining that there is no corresponding sub-group chat identifier for the sub-group chat entry control, create a sub-group chat.

[0070] In some embodiments, in response to determining that no sub-group chat identifier corresponding to the aforementioned sub-group chat entry control exists, the executing entity may create a sub-group chat. The sub-group chat may correspond to a sub-group chat identifier and a sub-group chat page. Therefore, the aforementioned sub-group chat entry control may correspond to the aforementioned sub-group chat identifier. Since the aforementioned sub-group chat entry control corresponds to the main group chat message that performed the target operation, the main group chat message that performed the target operation corresponds to the aforementioned sub-group chat identifier. In practice, in response to determining that no sub-group chat identifier corresponding to the aforementioned sub-group chat entry control exists, the executing entity may identify the user who published the main group chat message and the user who performed the target operation as the users corresponding to the sub-group chat, and generate a creation identifier to create the sub-group chat. The creation identifier may indicate that a sub-group chat has been created. Thus, a chat group for specific users to communicate can be created.

[0071] Optionally, the creation of a sub-group chat can include: the executing entity generating a sub-group chat name based on the main group chat message corresponding to the sub-group chat entry control. In practice, the executing entity can generate the sub-group chat name in various ways based on the main group chat message corresponding to the sub-group chat entry control. As an example, the executing entity can use the TextRank algorithm to extract keywords from the main group chat message corresponding to the sub-group chat entry control and use the extracted keywords as the sub-group chat name. As another example, the executing entity can determine the sub-group chat name by identifying the text between preset symbols in the main group chat message. The preset symbols can be pre-set symbols. For example, the preset symbols can be the opening bracket "

" and the closing bracket "

[0072] Step 504: Display the sub-group chat page.

[0073] In some embodiments, the aforementioned executing entity may display the aforementioned sub-group chat page. Thus, users corresponding to the sub-group chat can post messages in the sub-group chat and view messages posted by other users in the sub-group chat.

[0074] Step 505: In response to detecting a sub-group chat message posted by the target user on the sub-group chat page, the sub-group chat message is synchronized to the main group chat message set corresponding to the main group chat page to update the main group chat message set.

[0075] Step 506: In response to detecting a page switching operation on the main group chat page, display the updated main group chat messages in the main group chat message set on the main group chat page.

[0076] In some embodiments, the specific implementation of steps 505-506 and their resulting technical effects can be found in [reference needed]. Figure 4Steps 402-403 in the corresponding embodiments will not be repeated here.

[0077] Step 507: In response to the current time being greater than or equal to the expiration time of the sub-group chat, disband the sub-group chat.

[0078] In some embodiments, in response to the current time being greater than or equal to the sub-group chat's expiration time, the executing entity can disband the sub-group chat. The sub-group chat's associated information also includes the sub-group chat's expiration time. The sub-group chat's expiration time can be a pre-set time point for disbanding the sub-group chat. In practice, in response to the current time being greater than or equal to the sub-group chat's expiration time, the executing entity can delete the sub-group chat. Therefore, the sub-group chat can be automatically disbanded when the current time is greater than or equal to the sub-group chat's expiration time, thereby saving computer operating resources and storage resources.

[0079] Optionally, firstly, in response to the current time being less than the sub-group chat expiration time and the detection of a selection operation applied to the sub-group chat disbanding control, the executing entity can determine the disbanding user identifier corresponding to the selection operation applied to the sub-group chat disbanding control. The sub-group chat disbanding control can be a control used to disband the sub-group chat. The disbanding user identifier can uniquely identify the user who performed the selection operation applied to the sub-group chat disbanding control. Then, it can be determined whether the disbanding user identifier meets the conditions for disbanding the sub-group chat. The conditions for disbanding the sub-group chat user identifier can be that the disbanding user identifier is a preset user identifier. The preset user identifier can be a pre-defined user identifier. For example, the preset user identifier can be the user identifier of the user who created the sub-group chat. Finally, in response to determining that the disbanding user identifier meets the conditions for disbanding the sub-group chat, the sub-group chat can be disbanded. Therefore, by setting a sub-group chat disbanding control, users can disband sub-group chats more flexibly.

[0080] from Figure 5 It can be seen from this that, with Figure 4 Compared to the description of some corresponding embodiments, Figure 5 The flow 500 of the group chat message display method in some corresponding embodiments embodies the steps of extending the display of sub-group chat entry controls, displaying sub-group chat pages, and disbanding sub-group chats. Thus, the solutions described in these embodiments allow users to view sub-group chat entry controls on the main group chat page through target operations on the main group chat message, and to create sub-group chats via the sub-group chat entry controls. Furthermore, sub-group chats can be automatically disbanded when the current time is greater than or equal to the sub-group chat expiration time, thereby saving computer operating and storage resources.
