Furthermore, the pop-up window can also include a selection control allowing the user to choose "agree" or "disagree" to provide information to the electronic device.

[0029] It is understood that the above notification and user authorization process are merely illustrative and do not constitute a limitation on the implementation of this disclosure. Other methods that comply with relevant laws and regulations may also be applied to the implementation of this disclosure.

[0030] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. In this example environment 100, an office suite 120 is installed on a terminal device 110. A user 140 can interact with the office suite 120 via the terminal device 110 and / or an attached device to the terminal device 110. The office suite 120 is capable of providing the user 140 with the integration of multiple components. These components can be component modules within the office suite 120. The components integrated in the office suite 120 are sometimes referred to as "office applications," "office components," "collaborative office platforms," ​​etc. As an example, the components integrated in the office suite 120 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: chat components (also known as instant messaging (IM) components), document components, audio and video conferencing components, email components, calendar components, scheduling components, task components, and goal and key results (OKR) components.

[0031] In some embodiments, the office suite 120 can be downloaded and installed as an application on the terminal device 110. In some embodiments, the office suite 120 can also be accessed in other ways, such as through a web page.

[0032] exist Figure 1 In environment 100, if office suite 120 is started, terminal device 110 can present the interface 150 of office suite 120 to user 140. Interface 150 is sometimes also called client interface. Interface 150 can include various interfaces provided by office suite 120, such as a chat interface, a video conferencing interface, a file sharing interface, etc.

[0033] In some embodiments, terminal device 110 communicates with server 130 to provide services to office suite 120. Terminal device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal, including mobile phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, notebook computers, netbook computers, tablet computers, media computers, multimedia tablets, personal communication system (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video players, digital cameras / camcorders, television receivers, radio receivers, e-book devices, gaming devices, or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, terminal device 110 can also support any type of user-facing interface (such as "wearable" circuitry). Server 130 can be any type of computing system / server capable of providing computing power, including but not limited to mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in cloud environments, etc.

[0034] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of this disclosure. For example, embodiments of this disclosure can be applied to any suitable one or more applications, and are not limited to office suites.

[0035] As briefly mentioned earlier, digital assistants can be provided to users to help them complete target tasks using terminal devices or applications. On the other hand, with the continuous development of artificial intelligence (AI), it is also hoped that AI can be used to bring new experiences to users, such as in office applications. Some related solutions can use digital assistants to help users create content, generate presentations, organize emails, and submit to-do lists. In practical applications, there may be various scenarios. Therefore, it is expected that digital assistants will provide users with services corresponding to different scenarios. As a practical scenario, a collection of pages (e.g., a paginated workflow described below) includes at least one page. How to use digital assistants in the scenario of a collection of pages is the solution discussed in this publication.

[0036] Therefore, embodiments of this disclosure propose an information processing scheme. According to various embodiments of this disclosure, when a set of pages (including at least one page) exists, instructions from the user are received through an interaction window between the user and the digital assistant. Then, a target operation corresponding to the instruction is executed based on the set of pages. For example, the target operation could be closing one or more pages in the set, retrieving information from the set of pages and displaying it to the user, editing a page in the set, etc. Thus, applying the digital assistant to a scenario with a set of pages helps improve the user's processing efficiency for the set of pages. In this way, convenient and efficient services can be provided to the user.

[0037] In embodiments of this disclosure, a page set includes at least one page. In some embodiments, the page set may be a collection of pages that have been manipulated within a preset time period. The "operations" described herein may include various operations on a page, such as opening, pinning, favorited, and marking, and may also include operations performed on the content of the page, such as deleting or inserting content.

[0038] Alternatively or additionally, in some embodiments, the page set may be a set of pages that have been accessed within a preset time period and are open when a user instruction is received. That is, the page set may be a set of pages that are open when the user sends an instruction to the digital assistant.

[0039] In some embodiments, the page set can be a collection of pages that are open and meet preset association conditions. For example, these pages can be multiple pages opened separately by the user, and these pages can constitute a page set if the preset association conditions are met. For example, the preset association condition can be that these pages were opened within the same time period. Another example is that the preset association condition can be that the multiple pages are of the same type, such as multiple chat pages. The embodiments of this disclosure do not limit the possible implementations of the preset association conditions.

[0040] In some embodiments, a page set can be a collection of pages identified as related to each other based on user input. For example, a user may actively associate multiple open pages into a single page set.

[0041] In some embodiments, the page set can be a collection of associated opened pages. Associated opening refers to one page being opened based on another page, such as based on controls or displayed content on another page. In this disclosure embodiment, such a page set is also referred to as a pagination workflow. That is, associated opened pages constitute a pagination workflow.

[0042] In some pagination workflows, multiple pages can be opened sequentially from the root page, forming a linear relationship between them. For example, page B might be opened based on controls or content displayed on page A, and page C might be opened based on controls or content displayed on page B. In this case, pages A, B, and C constitute a pagination workflow.

[0043] For other pagination workflows, multiple pages can be opened in association starting from a root page, and these pages form a tree-like relationship based on their association. For example, page E is opened based on a control or content displayed on page D, page F is opened based on a control or content displayed on page E, and page G is opened based on another control or content displayed on page E. In this case, pages D, E, F, and G constitute a pagination workflow. In some embodiments, this root page can be used to distinguish different pagination workflows; for example, different pagination workflows may have different root pages. Therefore, determining the root page corresponding to a page determines the pagination workflow to which that page belongs.

[0044] Multiple pages within the same paginated workflow can belong to the same component or different components of the same application. For example, components in Office Suite 120 include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: instant messaging component, document component, audio / video conferencing component, email component, calendar component, schedule component, task component, OKR component, etc. Multiple pages within a paginated workflow can belong to a single component of Office Suite 120 or different components; this disclosure does not limit this. In some embodiments, pages within the same paginated workflow may also include pages outside the application, such as opening a web link within a session in the Office Suite application that does not belong to the Office Suite.

[0045] Multiple pages within the same pagination workflow can be presented through split-screen, different independent windows, floating elements, or combinations thereof; this disclosure does not limit this approach. (See references) Figure 2 The first page 210 and the second page 220 displayed in split screen belong to a single pagination workflow.

[0046] To more clearly describe the embodiments of this disclosure, some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure will continue to be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, a paginated workflow in an office suite is primarily used as an example scenario, but this is merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure. A paginated workflow is one example of a set of pages, and a digital assistant can be utilized for other sets of pages. Furthermore, the digital assistant can be implemented in any other scenario where a set of pages exists, and is not limited to an office suite.

[0047] refer to Figure 3AThis example describes a paginated workflow within an office suite. A terminal device presents an office suite interface 301. This interface 301 includes a navigation bar 330 displaying entry controls for multiple components and access points for multiple pages. Selecting these entry controls and access points activates the corresponding component or page for browsing or operation. In this example, the chat component is activated. Accordingly, a chat page 310, or chat window, is presented in interface 301. Based on the chat history displayed in chat page 310, the document "About XXX Applications" is opened, thus presenting page 320 of that document. In this example, pages 310 and 320 are opened together and therefore belong to the same paginated workflow.

[0048] In the embodiments of this disclosure, a digital assistant is configured for user 140. The digital assistant can be implemented in any suitable form. In some embodiments, user 140's digital assistant can interact with user 140 as a contact. Such a digital assistant can uniquely correspond to user 140. In other words, user 140's digital assistant can be specific to or exclusive to user 140. For example, in providing assistance or services to user 140, the digital assistant can utilize its historical interaction information with user 140, the data authorized by user 140 that it can access, the content of its current conversation with the user, etc. If user 140 is an individual, such a digital assistant can be considered a personal digital assistant. It is understood that in the disclosed embodiments, the digital assistant accesses data with granted permissions based on user 140's authorization.

[0049] It should be understood that the terms "unique correspondence" or similar expressions in this disclosure are not intended to limit the digital assistant to be updated accordingly based on the interaction process between user 140 and the digital assistant.

[0050] In some embodiments, the digital assistant can be implemented in a single component or application, such as an IM component. In some embodiments, the digital assistant can be implemented in multiple components. For example, these components can be different components of an office suite or collaborative work platform. In some embodiments, the digital assistant can be implemented directly in the terminal device 110 without being attached to any application. In this embodiment, the digital assistant provides assistance to the user 140 in the form of a contact.

[0051] In the presence of a paginated workflow, user 140 can invoke the digital assistant in various appropriate ways. Through the interaction window with the digital assistant, the digital assistant can assist with operations related to a specific paginated workflow (also known as the first paginated workflow or the target paginated workflow).

[0052] In some embodiments, invoking the digital assistant can be independent of a specific pagination workflow. For example, the digital assistant can be invoked and interacted with via a search. For instance, user 140 can enter keywords related to the digital assistant (such as the digital assistant's name or nickname) in the search box. In response, search results related to the digital assistant can be presented. User 140 can then invoke the digital assistant and initiate a conversation window by clicking on the option. As another example, the digital assistant can be invoked via a contact list or address book. For example, contact options corresponding to the digital assistant can be presented in the contact interface. In this way, a stable entry point for the digital assistant can be provided, allowing user 140 to conveniently invoke the digital assistant when needed.

[0053] In some cases, if a paginated workflow exists, it is identified as the first paginated workflow. In other cases, multiple paginated workflows may exist. In this case, the first paginated workflow is determined from the multiple paginated workflows. Based on this first paginated workflow, the user interacts with the digital assistant.

[0054] Therefore, in some embodiments, when multiple paginated workflows exist, a paginated workflow selection control can be presented. The paginated workflow selection control may include options for each of the multiple currently existing paginated workflows for the user to choose from, or it may allow the user to input information about the paginated workflow they wish to process. Accordingly, the terminal device can receive the user's operation on the paginated workflow selection control and select a first paginated workflow from these paginated workflows based on the user's operation.

[0055] In some embodiments, the process of determining the first pagination workflow described above can occur after the digital assistant is invoked. For example, the user can be prompted to determine the first pagination workflow from multiple pagination workflows through interaction between the digital assistant and the user. In other embodiments, the process of determining the first pagination workflow described above can occur before the digital assistant is invoked. For example, after the user initiates an operation or instruction to invoke the digital assistant but before the digital assistant is invoked, the user can be prompted to determine the first pagination workflow from multiple pagination workflows, and the digital assistant can be invoked only after the user has determined the first pagination workflow. In still other embodiments, the process of determining the first pagination workflow described above can occur after the digital assistant is invoked and the user 140 sends an instruction to the digital assistant. For example, the user can be prompted to determine the first pagination workflow from multiple pagination workflows when the digital assistant is unsure which pagination workflow to perform the operation on.

[0056] In some embodiments, the invocation of a digital assistant may be associated with a paging workflow. For example, the digital assistant may be invoked in response to an invocation operation within that paging workflow. In this embodiment, the associated paging workflow is the first paging workflow.

[0057] In some embodiments, terminal device 110 may present options or controls related to the digital assistant in a paginated workflow. If user 140 selects the option (e.g., clicks the option) or the control, the digital assistant is invoked. As an example, a digital assistant entry control may be presented at a preset location on one or more pages of the first paginated workflow. The digital assistant can be invoked by triggering the digital assistant entry control displayed at a preset location on a page (also called the first page or the invocation page) in the first paginated workflow, thus presenting an interactive window between the user and the digital assistant. The invocation page can be any page included in the first paginated workflow. For example, the invocation page can be the page opened last in the first paginated workflow, or it can be the page last activated by the user. The preset location can be any location on the page. Embodiments of this disclosure do not limit the layout position of the digital assistant entry control.

[0058] As an example, still refer to Figure 3A The navigation bar at the top of page 320 displays a digital assistant entry control 321. When control 321 is triggered, the digital assistant is activated and navigates to the following page: Figure 3B Interface 302 is shown. Interface 302 displays a session window 340 for user and digital assistant interaction, which is an example implementation of the interaction window between the user and the digital assistant. Furthermore, page 310 is "hidden," and the display position of page 320 changes and is displayed in a split-screen format with session window 340. In session window 340, the user can input messages through input box 341 or through other appropriate means (e.g., voice). User messages can include or represent instructions from the user. Messages in the session window can also be called session messages. The content associated with a session message can be in any appropriate format, such as text, images, audio, or video. Figure 3B In the example, the user entered the conversation message: "Please summarize the document I just opened and send it to the group using my identity."

[0059] In the examples above and below, digital assistants are shown with names such as "xx assistant," but it should be understood that this is merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure. In embodiments of this disclosure, digital assistants may have any suitable name.

[0060] In the above embodiments, the digital assistant entry control is displayed at a preset location on the page. Alternatively or additionally, in some embodiments, the digital assistant entry control can be invoked in response to a preset operation performed on the page. Then, if the invoked entry control is triggered, the digital assistant can be activated. For example, a user can perform a preset operation (such as selecting content and right-clicking) on ​​the content displayed on the page of the first pagination workflow to invoke the digital assistant entry control, and then click the entry control to activate the digital assistant. The preset operation can be a click, a press for a preset duration, a voice command, or a user-defined shortcut operation. This disclosure does not limit the specific implementation of the preset operation. Reference will be made below. Figure 3G and Figure 3H Describe such an example.

[0061] The preceding example, referring to the pagination workflow, described the invocation of a digital assistant. It should be understood that this is merely exemplary. The embodiments described with reference to the pagination workflow can be applied to other types of page collections. The following continues to describe example embodiments using the pagination workflow as an example.

[0062] In some embodiments, the digital assistant can obtain information about a first pagination workflow, including various forms of information related to the first pagination workflow. For example, this information may include identification information (ID or link address, etc.) of each page in the first pagination workflow, through which the content of that page can be accessed. For example, this information may include information related to the content displayed on each of the multiple pages in the first pagination workflow, such as chat content, images, and information about related files on a chat page. Furthermore, this information may also include layout and sequence information of different pages in the first pagination workflow, such as the window size of different pages, their position in the user interface, and the order in which they were opened. Thus, interactions between the user and the digital assistant in the interaction window (e.g., conversation messages in the conversation window) can be based on the corresponding content of multiple pages in the first pagination workflow.

[0063] In some embodiments, information about the first pagination workflow can be obtained after the digital assistant is activated. Then, upon receiving an instruction from user 140, the digital assistant can execute the target operation corresponding to the user's instruction based on the obtained information from the first pagination workflow. In this way, the digital assistant obtains information from the first pagination workflow upon activation, enabling it to quickly respond to and execute the correct operation upon receiving a first instruction. Because user instructions are processed based on pagination workflow information, users can provide instructions in a concise manner (e.g., referring to the example described below with reference to Figure 3), thereby improving the user's processing efficiency for pagination workflows.

[0064] In some embodiments, after the digital assistant is activated, user 140 can issue a command to the digital assistant. Upon receiving the command from user 140, the digital assistant can retrieve information related to the command from the first pagination workflow. Then, the digital assistant can execute the corresponding target operation based on the retrieved information. This method reduces the amount of information the digital assistant needs to acquire, requiring only information relevant to the current command.

[0065] In embodiments of this disclosure, the target operation may include any suitable operation. For example, the target operation may include closing one or more pages in a pagination workflow, opening one or more documents, summarizing or extracting partial information from the pagination workflow and displaying it to the user, collaborating with the user to edit pages in the pagination workflow, etc.

[0066] In some embodiments, the target operation may include multiple operations; in other words, the user's instruction may indicate multiple operations. As an example, the target operation may include a first operation and a second operation. Then, performing the target operation may involve further interaction between the user and the digital assistant. For example, after obtaining the result of the first operation, an interactive message from the digital assistant can be presented through an interactive window, instructing the user to confirm the result of the first operation. If the user confirms the result of the first operation, the second operation can be performed based on the result of the first operation.

[0067] As an example, see reference Figure 3B The user enters the message "Please summarize the document I just opened and send it to the group using my identity" in input box 341 and clicks send. Correspondingly, the following is displayed: Figure 3C The interface 303 is shown. In this interface 303, the conversation box 342 in the conversation window 340 displays the conversation message entered by the user. In response to the conversation message entered by the user, the digital assistant performs a first operation, namely, retrieving the content of the document displayed on page 320 and summarizing the document. Then, the summarized document summary is presented to the user as a reply message, instructing the user to confirm. (See reference) Figure 3D As shown in interface 304, the conversation box 343 and prompt box 344 in the conversation window 340 display interactive messages from the digital assistant. These messages include a document summary displayed in conversation box 343 and a confirmation message in prompt box 344 asking the user whether to forward the document to the "XXX large group". In response to the user's "Confirm and Forward" action in prompt box 344, the digital assistant performs a second operation, forwarding the document to the user's specified chat group and notifying the user that the forwarding was successful. (Reference) Figure 3EThe interface 305 shown indicates that the user has successfully forwarded the message in the dialog box 345 within the dialog window 340. This example demonstrates that users can achieve their desired operation simply by providing a command without specifying the full name of the page to be processed. This improves the efficiency of users processing a set of pages.

[0068] In some embodiments, the target action may include updating a target page. Then, in response to the completion of the target action, an option to display the updated target page can be provided in the interactive window. Continuing the example above, the target action includes forwarding a document summary to "XXX Group". In this case, after the target action is completed, the chat page (e.g., the conversation window) of "XXX Group" is updated. Then, an option to display the "XXX Group" chat page can be presented in the interactive window. In this embodiment, if the user expects to be redirected to the target page after the target action is completed, the user can choose to display the target page to facilitate subsequent operations. If the user only expects the target page to be updated and does not need to be redirected to the target page, the user can choose not to display the target page or not to make a selection. In this way, users can flexibly choose according to their actual situation.

[0069] Users and digital assistants can engage in multi-round interactions. As an example, based on information provided by the digital assistant in the previous interaction, the user can issue further commands to the assistant. (Reference) Figure 3F In the interface 306 shown, the user gives the instruction "Put these feedback and survey materials into one document" through the conversation window 340. In response, the digital assistant generates a survey report and displays a preview and link to the document in the conversation window 346. Furthermore, it can prompt the user to perform editing operations on the survey report. As another example, multiple rounds of interaction can be conducted when the digital assistant is unsure of the user's instruction. For example, if the user's instruction is "Send to this group," the digital assistant can prompt the user with multiple groups identified from the paginated workflow, allowing the user to further specify the groups to send to.

[0070] The interaction window between the user and the digital assistant can be a window of any form or mode. In some embodiments, the interaction window between the user and the digital assistant can be a session-mode window, such as... Figures 3B-3F The session window 340 is shown in the image. Alternatively or additionally, in some embodiments, the interaction window between the user and the digital assistant can be a non-session mode window. An example of a non-session mode is a floating window mode, which will be referenced below. Figure 3G and Figure 3H The method for triggering the opening of the non-session mode window can be a preset operation by the user on any page of the paginated workflow, or other operations; this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0071] continue Figure 3F Example: The document "XXX Survey Report" has been updated, and the user has chosen to display the document. Accordingly, the user is redirected to... Figure 3G The interface 307 shown contains a page 360 ​​displaying the document "XXX Survey Report". On page 360, the user selects content 361, triggering panel 363. Panel 363 displays an entry control 362 for the digital assistant. In response to the user triggering entry control 362, the user is redirected to... Figure 3H The interface shown is 308. (As shown) Figure 3H As shown, page 320 displays a function panel 350, which includes a non-conversation mode window 351 for interacting with the digital assistant, also known as a floating window. Users can enter commands in the non-conversation mode window 351 to instruct the digital assistant to perform the corresponding operation.

[0072] In some embodiments, interactive information about the first pagination workflow in the non-session mode window can be synchronized to the session mode window. For example, commands entered by the user in the non-session mode window 351 and responses from the digital assistant can be synchronized to the session mode window 340.

[0073] The example of the reference pagination workflow above describes the interaction window between the user and the digital assistant. It should be understood that this is merely exemplary. The embodiments described in the reference pagination workflow can be applied to other types of page collections.

[0074] In some embodiments, the interaction window between the user and the digital assistant (e.g., session window 340) can be considered as one of the pages in the pagination workflow. Accordingly, the interaction window can be sorted along with other pages in the pagination workflow based on the time it was activated, which is a time-based sorting.

[0075] The number of pages a user's client interface can display simultaneously is limited. If the number of pages included in a pagination workflow exceeds the maximum number of pages the client interface can display simultaneously, some pages in that pagination workflow will not be displayed. For example, pages that are listed earlier (i.e., pages activated earlier) will not be displayed. In some cases, the user's interaction window with the digital assistant may also not be displayed. In such cases, when the digital assistant is reactivated, the page display rules or display order need to be adjusted so that the interaction window is displayed in the client interface.

[0076] In some embodiments, the user's client interface can be configured to display N pages simultaneously, where N is a positive integer. Then, if the number of pages included in the first pagination workflow is greater than N, the last N pages in the first pagination workflow are presented in the client interface. These displayed pages do not include interactive windows; that is, interactive windows are not displayed in the client interface. The multiple pages in the first pagination workflow can be sorted according to their most recent activation time; the later the activation time, the later the page is considered to be in the ranking. "Activation" as described herein can refer to any form of access to a page, such as browsing or editing. The page ranking can also be determined according to other algorithms or rules, which are not limited in this disclosure. In this case, if the digital assistant is reactivated, the ranking of the interactive windows in the first pagination workflow is adjusted so that the interactive windows are presented in the client interface.

[0077] For example, refer to Figure 4A Interface 401 displays a navigation bar 430 and multiple pages from the first pagination workflow, namely, interactive window 410 and page 420. The corresponding page stack is as follows: Figure 5A As shown, page stack 501 includes interactive window 410 and page 420, and these two pages are arranged in a certain order in the page stack. (Continue to refer to...) Figure 4A As indicated by label 430, the user has opened the document "About the Application of XXX in YYY" on page 420. Accordingly, the document is presented... Figure 4B The interface shown is 402. In this interface 402, the interactive window 410 is not displayed; instead, page 440 of the document "About the Application of XXX in YYY" is displayed. The page stack corresponding to this interface 402 is as follows: Figure 5B As shown, the area between the black dashed lines corresponds to the client interface, that is, the page visible to the user. Figure 5C (The same applies in the example). Page stack 502 includes interactive window 410, page 420, and page 440, and these three pages are arranged in order of their most recent activation time. Pages 420 and 440 are visible to the user, while interactive window 410 is not displayed. Therefore, although interactive window 410 is not displayed in the client interface, it is still retained in the page stack. (Continue to refer to...) Figure 4B A floating window 441 is displayed on page 440, containing the option "Continue Asking Questions" to indicate whether to continue interacting with the digital assistant. If the user selects the "Continue Asking Questions" option, the digital assistant can be reactivated. Accordingly, the following is presented... Figure 4C The interface 403 is shown. In this interface 403, the interactive window 410 is re-displayed to the user. The page stack corresponding to this interface 403 is as follows: Figure 5CCompared to page stack 502, in page stack 503, the order of interactive window 410, page 420, and page 410 is adjusted, so that interactive window 410 can be displayed.

[0078] In some embodiments, when the digital assistant is working on a first pagination workflow, the user may be prompted that the digital assistant is working based on the first pagination workflow. Visual information, such as text and graphics, may be presented to the user. Prompts may also be given to the user in other forms, such as voice prompts. For example, visual information may be presented in an interactive window to indicate to the user that the digital assistant is currently working based on the first pagination workflow. In some embodiments, the prompt information may include one or more page identifiers to indicate to the user which page the digital assistant is currently working on. Page identifiers may differ for different types of pages. Alternatively or additionally, in some embodiments, the prompt information may also include an identifier for a first set of pages, which is the identifier of the pagination workflow if the first set of pages is a pagination workflow. For example, the identifier of the first set of pages (such as a pagination workflow) may be determined by the system or the user. This identifier may be different from or the same as the identifier of any page included in the first set of pages; this is not limited here.

[0079] For example, refer to Figure 6A On interface 601, the digital assistant analyzes the table shown on page 620 and forwards the analysis results to the group chat. Correspondingly, a prompt message 611 stating "Editing the current task flow with you" can be displayed in the interactive window 610, and the prompt message 612 also includes the page identifier 612 in the paginated workflow. Figure 6B Page stack 602 corresponding to interface 601 is shown. Page stack 602 includes group chat page 630 and table page 620, which are involved in the current operation of the digital assistant.

[0080] In some embodiments, for different paginated workflows, the digital assistant can present interactive information based on contextual information to match the current paginated workflow. For example, after switching from a first paginated workflow to a second paginated workflow, the digital assistant obtains interactive information related to the second paginated workflow.

[0081] Because users may interact with digital assistants for different pagination workflows, and each pagination workflow interaction may involve multiple rounds of interaction, thus including multiple interaction messages.

[0082] Therefore, in some embodiments, multiple interaction messages between the user and the digital assistant regarding the first pagination workflow can be presented in an aggregated form in the session mode window. The aggregation can specifically take the form of topic messages or other possible message strings; no limitation is made here. Aggregated messages can avoid confusion between interaction information from different pagination workflows.

[0083] In some embodiments, aggregation can take the form of sub-sessions. That is, multiple interaction messages between the user and the digital assistant regarding the first pagination workflow can be presented as sub-sessions in the session mode window. (See reference) Figure 7A Interface 701. Multiple interactive messages between the user and the digital assistant regarding the first pagination workflow are presented in the interaction window 720 as sub-sessions 722. The text in the sub-session 722 can indicate the name of the page in the pagination workflow. Furthermore, the user can click on the sub-session 722 to expand the interactive messages within it, and can also enter new session messages.

[0084] In some embodiments, the aggregation can take the form of topic messages. Now refer to Figure 7B Interface 702. Multiple interactive messages between the user and the digital assistant regarding the first pagination workflow are presented in the interaction window 740 as topic messages 741. Furthermore, the user can click anywhere in the display area of ​​control 742 or topic message 741 to expand the interactive messages, and the user can also reply. (Reference) Figure 7C Interface 703 displays a floating window 750. The floating window 750 expands the interaction messages between the user and the digital assistant, and the user can provide further conversational messages through input boxes 751. This method avoids mixing interaction information from different paginated workflows. Furthermore, when there are many interaction messages, multiple interaction messages are aggregated and displayed in the conversation mode window. This allows the user to expand or not expand the interaction messages according to their needs.

[0085] In some embodiments, the identifier of a page in a paginated workflow or the identifier of a paginated workflow may be presented in a session-mode window along with an interaction message in aggregate form. For example, in Figure 7A In the example, the interactive window 720 displays the identifiers 723 of the pages in the paginated workflow being processed, including the identifier for the group chat "Q4 Meeting Group Discussion" and the identifier for the table "Q4 Requirements List". For example, in... Figure 7B In the example, the page identifier 743 is presented in the interaction window 740, which includes the group chat identifier and the document identifier. It should be understood that... Figure 7BThe location of the identifier 743 shown is merely exemplary and not intended to be limiting. Page identifiers and prompts can be presented in any appropriate location. For example, page identifiers and / or prompts can be presented within the presentation area of ​​topic message 741.

[0086] The above description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, illustrates example interfaces for setting up and interacting with a digital assistant. It should be understood that the various interfaces, interface elements, text, etc., described above are exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure. Furthermore, it should be understood that the various embodiments described above can be implemented individually or in combination.

[0087] Figure 8 A flowchart of an information processing method 800 according to some embodiments is shown. Method 800 can be implemented at a terminal device 110. Reference is made below. Figure 1 Description method 800.

[0088] In frame 810, terminal device 110, in the presence of a first set of pages, receives a first instruction from the user through an interaction window between the user and the digital assistant. The first set of pages includes at least one page.

[0089] In some embodiments, the first page set includes one or more of the following: a set of pages that have been operated on within a preset time period; a set of pages that have been operated on within a preset time period and are in an open state when a first instruction is received; a set of pages that are identified as related to each other based on user input; a set of pages that are in an open state and meet preset association conditions; or a set of associated open pages.

[0090] For example, as discussed above, an office suite may include multiple components (also referred to as office components), examples of which may include, but are not limited to: chat components, document components, audio / video conferencing components, email components, calendar components, schedule components, task components, OKR components, and / or appropriate office components that are currently existing or may be developed in the future. The first page set includes multiple open pages, which may belong to the same component or different components, and these open pages may be presented to the user in various different ways. In some embodiments, the multiple pages in the first page set are opened in association.

[0091] As discussed above, there are various ways to invoke a digital assistant. In some embodiments, a digital assistant entry control is presented at a preset location on the first page of the first page set. The digital assistant is invoked by triggering this entry control, or by performing a preset operation on the first page of the first page set to invoke the digital assistant entry control, and then by triggering this entry control to invoke the digital assistant. In some embodiments, the digital assistant can also be invoked by searching, or by accessing a contact list or address book.

[0092] Referring to the discussion above, in some embodiments, the interaction window between the user and the digital assistant is a session-mode window, i.e., a session window. In some embodiments, the interaction window between the user and the digital assistant is a non-session-mode window. Commands entered by the user in the non-session-mode window can be synchronized to the session-mode window.

[0093] In some embodiments, when multiple page sets exist, a first page set needs to be determined to facilitate the digital assistant in determining context information, and the context information is provided to the digital assistant using information from this first page set. Therefore, when multiple page sets exist, including the first page set, the first page set is determined from the multiple page sets. That is, before receiving the first instruction from the user, a page set selection control is presented; the user's selection of the first page set is received through the page set selection control.

[0094] In frame 820, terminal device 110 performs a target operation corresponding to the first instruction based on the first page set.

[0095] In some embodiments, in response to a waking operation of the digital assistant in the first page set, information of the first page set is obtained, so that upon receiving a first instruction, a target operation corresponding to the first instruction is executed based on the first page set. In this way, the digital assistant obtains information from the first page stream after being woken up, enabling it to quickly respond to the first instruction upon receiving it.

[0096] In some embodiments, upon receiving a first instruction, the digital assistant retrieves information from a first set of pages based on the first instruction, and then performs an operation corresponding to the first instruction based on the retrieved information. This method reduces the amount of information the digital assistant needs to retrieve, allowing it to obtain only information relevant to the current instruction.

[0097] In some embodiments, a prompt message is displayed in the interactive window to inform the user that the digital assistant is currently working based on the first page set. This visually communicates the digital assistant's functionality, enhancing the user experience.

[0098] In some embodiments, the prompt information includes the identifier of at least one page included in the first page set or the identifier of the first page set.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first page set includes a first paging workflow consisting of associated opened pages; the interactive window is one of the pages included in the first paging workflow.

[0100] In some embodiments, the user's client interface is configured to display N pages simultaneously, where N is a positive integer, and the method further includes: if the number of pages included in the first pagination workflow is greater than N, presenting the last N pages in the first pagination workflow in the client interface, the last N pages not including the interactive window; and in response to the digital assistant being invoked again, adjusting the order of the interactive windows in the first pagination workflow so that the interactive windows are presented in the client interface.

[0101] In this way, when the first paginated workflow contains too many pages to display all of them, only a portion of the pages are shown according to certain rules. In some cases, the interactive window may also not be displayed. Therefore, if the digital assistant is reactivated, the order of the interactive windows in the first paginated workflow is adjusted so that the interactive windows are presented on the client interface.

[0102] In some embodiments, the interaction window includes a session mode window between the user and the digital assistant, and multiple interaction messages between the user and the digital assistant regarding the first set of pages are presented in an aggregated form in the session mode window.

[0103] This method aggregates and displays multiple interactive messages in a session mode window when there are many messages. Users can then choose to expand or exclude these messages based on their needs.

[0104] In some embodiments, the aggregation may take the form of topic messages.

[0105] In some embodiments, the identifier of at least one page or the identifier of a first set of pages is presented in the session mode window along with multiple interactive messages in an aggregated form.

[0106] The target operation can be one or more operations. In some embodiments, the target operation includes a first operation and a second operation. Executing the target operation then includes: presenting an interactive message from the digital assistant through an interactive window, the message instructing the user to confirm the result of the first operation; and, in response to receiving the user's confirmation, performing the second operation based on the result. For example, the first instruction is "Generate file XX based on the information in page AA and forward it to the YY group." The digital assistant then performs the first operation according to this instruction: generating file XX based on the information in page AA. Afterwards, a prompt message such as "Confirm file XX and forward to the YY group" is presented. After user confirmation, the digital assistant performs the second operation: forwarding the file to the YY group.

[0107] In some embodiments, the target operation includes updating a target page. Therefore, the method further includes providing an option in an interactive window to display the updated target page in response to the completion of the target operation. For example, after a digital assistant forwards a file to a YY group, the interactive window prompts the user whether to display the YY group's page to facilitate subsequent user operations.

[0108] It should be understood that, without departing from the spirit of process 800, one or more steps, features, characteristics, or combinations thereof described in the above example information processing procedure may also be appropriately incorporated into the process. This disclosure will not elaborate further on this.
