Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, electronic device, and medium for processing emoticons. Background Technology

[0002] Instant messaging (IM) has become the most popular communication method, with various IM software emerging and service providers offering increasingly rich communication service functions. Besides sending emoticons, users can engage in more fun activities in chat scenarios, such as playing novel magical emoticon animations after sending emoticon messages. These magical emoticons have cooler and more realistic effects. One technical solution for triggering magical emoticon animations involves adding magical emoticon material information to the emoticon message. When the server sends an emoticon message, it also includes the magical emoticon information. When the client receives the emoticon message, it attempts to obtain the magical emoticon information, then obtains the magical emoticon material, and finally renders the animation. While this method is more direct in obtaining magical emoticon information, coupling it to the emoticon message increases additional maintenance costs. Another approach is to play magical emoticons in chronological order, playing them as they arrive. If a magical emoticon animation is currently playing, it is interrupted, and the latest magical emoticon animation is played. This playback rule is relatively simple, but not user-friendly. For example, users might prefer to see fully rendered, composite magical emoticons, which this approach cannot satisfy. Summary of the Invention

[0045] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this disclosure are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this disclosure described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0047] Please see Figure 1The diagram illustrates an application environment for an emoji message processing method according to an exemplary embodiment. The application environment may include a terminal 11 and a server 12, which are connected via a wireless network.

[0048] Terminal 11 can be a smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop computer, etc., but is not limited to these. Terminal 11 has client software such as an application (App) installed to provide human-computer interaction functions. The application can be a standalone application or a subroutine within an application. For example, the application can be a short video application or an instant messaging application.

[0049] Server 12 can be a server that provides background services for applications in terminal 11. Server 12 can be a standalone physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system consisting of multiple physical servers.

[0050] Those skilled in the art will understand that the number of terminals described above can be only one, dozens, hundreds, or more. This disclosure does not limit the number of terminals or the type of device.

[0051] Figure 2 A flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the emoticon message processing method of this disclosure is shown. Figure 2 As shown, this emoji message processing method can be applied to... Figure 1 Terminal 11 is shown. (As shown) Figure 2 As shown, the emoji message processing method includes:

[0052] Step S201: In response to receiving the first emoticon message, obtain the first emoticon identifier in the first emoticon message.

[0053] The emoticon identifier is used to uniquely identify an emoticon. The emoticon identifier can be an emoticon ID.

[0054] Taking the aforementioned emoji message processing method as an example, applicable to instant messaging applications on mobile phones, such as... Figure 3A As shown, user A receives a message message1, which is an emoji message, and the corresponding emoji is displayed on the interface of user A's instant messaging application.

[0055] Step S202: Based on the first emoticon identifier, query the mapping table to determine whether there is a target magic emoticon corresponding to the first emoticon message.

[0056] The mapping table records the mapping relationship between specific emoticons and magical emoticons. Specific emoticons refer to those that can trigger magical emoticons. This mapping table can record the IDs of both specific and magical emoticons. The mapping table can be stored on the server side and sent to the client when a user opens the instant messaging software. When the mapping table on the server changes, the updated mapping table can be promptly sent to the client.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, the mapping table is shown in Table 1 below:

[0058] Table 1:

[0059] Non-synthesized magic emoticon 1 Emoji 1 Non-synthesized magic emoticons 2 Emoji 2 Synthetic magic expression 1 Emoji 1, Emoji 1 Synthetic magic expression 2 Emoji 3, Emoji 4

[0060] During chat, if users receive emoji messages, they need to process them according to certain rules. Only specific emojis can trigger magical emoji effects. A mapping table is created by recording the specific emojis that can trigger magical emoji effects and their corresponding magical emojis. When it's necessary to modify the specific emojis that trigger magical emoji effects or the corresponding magical emojis, this mapping table can be modified, making it easy to maintain. Compared to technical solutions that couple magical emoji information to emoji information, this reduces maintenance costs and increases flexibility.

[0061] In this step, we check if the first emoji identifier exists in the mapping table. If the first emoji identifier exists, it means that the emoji message can trigger the magic emoji effect. If the first emoji identifier does not exist, it means that the emoji message cannot trigger the magic emoji effect.

[0062] Step S203: If a target magic emoticon exists that corresponds to the first emoticon message, play the target magic emoticon according to the magic emoticon playback strategy.

[0063] The magic emoticon playback strategy defines the playback rules for different magic emoticons. This strategy restricts the playback order or priority of different magic emoticons, such as playing them immediately, adding them to a playback queue, or not playing them at all. In an optional embodiment, magic emoticons can be categorized, and playback rules can be set for different types of magic emoticons, thus forming the magic emoticon playback strategy.

[0064] Continuing with the example above, when user A's terminal queries the mapping table based on the identifier of the emoticon message 'message1', and determines that the corresponding magic emoticon exists, if the magic emoticon corresponding to 'message1' needs to be played immediately according to the magic emoticon playback strategy, then the magic emoticon will be played on the display interface of user A's instant messaging application, such as... Figure 3B As shown.

[0065] In an optional embodiment, magic emoticons are divided into non-synthesized magic emoticons and synthesized magic emoticons. Non-synthesized magic emoticons are triggered by a specific emoticon. For example... Figure 4A As shown, user A sends a specific emoji (emoji 1 in Table 1) to user B, triggering a non-synthesized magic emoji (emoji 1 in Table 1). Synthesized magic emojis require two or more users to send the same or different specific emojis within a certain timeframe to trigger this. For example... Figure 4B As shown, user a and user b both send each other an emoji 'a' over a period of time, triggering a synthesized magic emoji.

[0066] Since creating magical emojis requires two or more users to send specific emojis to each other, and is completed collaboratively by two or more people, the magical emoji playback strategy can be set as follows to increase intimacy between users, improve user experience and engagement:

[0067] (1) Synthesized magic emoticons can interrupt the playback of non-synthesized magic emoticons, while non-synthesized magic emoticons cannot interrupt the playback of synthesized magic emoticons.

[0068] (2) Magic emoticons of the same type cannot interrupt each other. That is, a synthesized magic emoticon cannot interrupt the playback of a synthesized magic emoticon, and a non-synthesized magic emoticon cannot interrupt the playback of a non-synthesized magic emoticon.

[0069] If a target magic emoticon exists that corresponds to the first emoticon message, the playback rules for the target magic emoticon are determined according to the magic emoticon playback strategy, such as whether to play the target magic emoticon immediately, whether to add the magic emoticon to the playback queue, or whether to discard the target magic emoticon.

[0070] The emoticon message processing method of this invention decouples emoticon messages and magical emoticon information by using a mapping table to record the mapping relationship between specific emoticons and magical emoticons. This facilitates maintenance and reduces maintenance costs. The method records the mapping relationship between specific emoticons and magical emoticons. Upon receiving a first emoticon message, it obtains a first emoticon identifier from the first emoticon message. Based on the first emoticon identifier, it queries the mapping table to determine whether a target magical emoticon corresponding to the first emoticon message exists. If a target magical emoticon corresponding to the first emoticon message exists, it plays the target magical emoticon according to the magical emoticon playback strategy. This method can meet the playback needs of different types of magical emoticons, improving user experience and user stickiness.

[0071] In optional embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, step S203 above includes:

[0072] Step S501: If a target magic emoticon corresponding to the first emoticon message exists, create a magic emoticon play task and determine the priority of the magic emoticon play task;

[0073] Step S502: Play the target magic emoticon according to the priority of the magic emoticon to be played task.

[0074] In this embodiment, when a target magic emoji corresponding to the first emoji message exists, a magic emoji playback task is created, and the priority of the magic emoji playback task (hereinafter referred to as the playback task) is determined. The priority of the playback task can be determined based on the type of the target magic emoji. For example, if the target magic emoji is a composite magic emoji, the playback task has a high priority; if the target magic emoji is a non-composite magic emoji, the playback task has a low priority. By prioritizing tasks corresponding to relatively complex composite magic emojis and tasks corresponding to relatively simple non-composite magic emojis, complex composite magic emojis are played before non-composite magic emojis, satisfying users' desire to watch complex magic emojis they participated in, thus improving the user experience.

[0075] Determining whether a target magic emoticon is a composite or non-composite magic emoticon requires considering both the previously sent and the next sent emoticon messages. For example, if the mapping table confirms the existence of a composite and non-composite magic emoticon corresponding to a first emoticon identifier, the second emoticon identifier of the sent second emoticon message can be obtained. Based on the first emoticon identifier of the first message and the second emoticon identifier of the second message, the type of magic emoticon is determined. The time difference between the sending time of the second emoticon message and the receiving time of the first emoticon message is within a certain range; the second emoticon message can be sent before or after receiving the first emoticon message. After obtaining the second emoticon identifier, it is determined whether a composite magic emoticon corresponding to the first and second emoticon identifiers exists. If it does, the target magic emoticon is that composite magic emoticon, and the playback task has a high priority; if it does not exist, the target magic emoticon is the non-composite magic emoticon corresponding to the first emoticon identifier, and the playback task has a low priority. Combining the received and sent emoticon messages to determine the type of magic emoticon—that is, whether it is a composite or non-composite magic emoticon—accurately identifies the type and complexity of the magic emoticon, thereby determining its priority.

[0076] After determining the priority of the task to be played, the method for playing the target magic emote can be determined based on the priority of the task to be played. For example, if the task to be played is of high priority, the playback of low-priority tasks can be interrupted, and if the task to be played is of low priority, the playback of high-priority tasks cannot be interrupted.

[0077] In an optional embodiment, the emoji message processing method further includes: determining whether a magic emoji is currently playing; if not, directly playing the target magic emoji; if so, playing the target magic emoji according to the priority of the task to be played and the priority corresponding to the task of the currently playing magic emoji. That is, based on the priority of the task to be played and the priority corresponding to the task of the currently playing magic emoji, it is determined whether to play the target magic emoji immediately, add it to the waiting queue to wait for the currently playing magic emoji to finish playing, or not play the target magic emoji at all.

[0078] For example, if the priority of the task to be played is higher than the priority of the task corresponding to the currently playing magic emoticon, the currently playing magic emoticon is interrupted, the task to be played is executed directly, and the target magic emoticon is played; if the priority of the task to be played is the same as the priority of the task corresponding to the currently playing magic emoticon, the target magic emoticon is played after the currently playing magic emoticon has finished playing.

[0079] The priorities of tasks awaiting playback that are higher than those of the currently playing magic emoticon include: the task awaiting playback has a high priority, while the task of the currently playing magic emoticon has a low priority. Tasks awaiting playback that have the same priority as the task of the currently playing magic emoticon include: both tasks have a high priority, or both tasks have a low priority. Tasks awaiting playback that have a lower priority than those of the currently playing magic emoticon include: the task awaiting playback has a low priority, while the task of the currently playing magic emoticon has a high priority.

[0080] When a magic emoji is currently playing, comparing the priority of the task corresponding to the currently playing magic emoji with the priority of the task to be played can satisfy the need to play high-priority tasks and improve the user experience.

[0081] In an optional embodiment, to further ensure priority playback of the synthesized magic emoticon, when a magic emoticon is currently playing, it is determined whether the priority of the magic emoticon's pending playback task meets the playback conditions. If the priority of the magic emoticon's pending playback task meets the playback conditions, the target magic emoticon is played according to the priority of the magic emoticon's pending playback task and the priority of the task corresponding to the currently playing magic emoticon. If the priority of the magic emoticon's pending playback task does not meet the playback conditions, the magic emoticon's pending playback task is discarded. The playback conditions are used to limit the magic emoticons that can be played. For example, the playback conditions could be: if the priority of the pending playback task is high, then the target magic emoticon is played after the currently playing magic emoticon has finished playing; if the priority of the pending playback task is low, then the pending playback task is discarded, and the playback of the target magic emoticon is abandoned.

[0082] In an optional embodiment, while waiting for the currently playing magic emoticon to finish playing, the tasks to be played can be added to the play queue. After the currently playing magic emoticon finishes playing, the tasks in the play queue are executed in order, and the corresponding magic emoticons are played.

[0083] In an optional embodiment, the capacity of the play queue can be limited, i.e., the number of magic emoji tasks to be played in the play queue is determined; when the number of magic emoji tasks to be played in the play queue is greater than or equal to a threshold, tasks to be discarded in the play queue are determined and discarded. For example, when the number of tasks to be played in the play queue is greater than or equal to the threshold, the earliest task to enter the play queue is discarded according to the time sequence, i.e., the task at the head of the play queue is discarded. The threshold can be set flexibly, and this disclosure does not impose any limitations on it.

[0084] This embodiment limits the capacity of the playback queue, which on the one hand allows for the timely playback of the latest, high-priority magic emoticons, and on the other hand saves storage space and reduces storage costs.

[0085] Figure 6 A flowchart illustrating another embodiment of the emoticon message processing method of this disclosure is shown. In this embodiment, the emoticon playback strategy includes: (1) setting the priority of tasks corresponding to non-synthesized emoticons to low priority, and setting the priority of tasks corresponding to synthesized emoticons to high priority; (2) low-priority tasks cannot interrupt high-priority tasks, high-priority tasks can interrupt low-priority tasks, and tasks of the same priority cannot interrupt each other; (3) only high-priority tasks are retained in the playback queue, and low-priority tasks are not retained. Based on this emoticon playback strategy, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the emoticon message processing method in this embodiment includes:

[0086] Step S601: In response to receiving the first emoticon message, obtain the first emoticon identifier in the first emoticon message.

[0087] Step S602: Based on the first emoticon identifier, query the mapping table to determine whether there is a target magic emoticon corresponding to the first emoticon message.

[0088] Step S603: If a target magic emoticon corresponding to the first emoticon message exists, create a magic emoticon play task and determine the priority of the magic emoticon play task;

[0089] Step S604: Determine if a magic emoticon is currently playing;

[0090] Step S605: If a magic emoticon is currently playing, determine whether the priority of the magic emoticon to be played task is high priority;

[0091] Step S606: If the priority of the task to be played by the magic emoticon is high, determine whether the priority of the task corresponding to the magic emoticon currently being played is high.

[0092] Step S607: If the priority of the task corresponding to the currently playing magic emoticon is low, interrupt the currently playing magic emoticon, execute the magic emoticon waiting to be played task, and play the target magic emoticon;

[0093] Step S608: If the task corresponding to the currently playing magic emoticon has a high priority, add the magic emoticon task to the play queue.

[0094] Step S609: After the currently playing magic emoticon has finished playing, execute the task in the waiting queue and play the corresponding magic emoticon;

[0095] Step S610: If the priority of the magic emoticon to be played task is low, discard the task to be played.
