[0039] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for replying to conversation messages provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. The method can be executed by a conversation message reply device, which can be implemented in software and / or hardware and can be configured in an electronic device, typically a computer, mobile phone, or tablet computer. The conversation message reply method provided in this disclosure is applicable to scenarios where conversation messages in a conversation are replied to using virtual objects, such as scenarios where conversation messages in a conversation are replied to using virtual objects based on information search, or scenarios where conversation messages in a conversation are summarized using virtual objects.

[0040] In some applications, chatbots can be used to reply to conversational messages sent by users in a group, such as responding to questions raised in the group.

[0041] Currently, chatbots in groups respond to conversational messages sent by users within the group based on pre-set knowledge within the group, and the response methods are relatively simple.

[0042] In view of this, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for replying to conversation messages, which obtains reference content in the current conversation based on the conversation messages sent in the conversation, and generates a reply message based on the reference content, which can enrich the reply methods of conversation messages in conversations between multiple users and meet the conversational needs of users with other users.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the method for replying to session messages provided in this embodiment may include:

[0044] S101. Display the first session interface of the preset session, wherein the preset session includes a first user and at least one second user.

[0045] The preset session can be a session involving at least two users, such as a one-on-one session between two users and / or a group session between multiple users. It should be noted that these at least two users can be real users within the current application, not virtual objects. The aforementioned at least two users include a first user and at least one second user. The first user can be understood as the current user, such as the user currently viewing the first session interface of the preset session. The second user can be understood as any other user included in the preset session besides the current user. The first session interface can be the session interface of the preset session. The first session interface can be used for users in the preset session to send session messages, view sent session messages, and / or interact with other users in the preset session, etc.

[0046] In this embodiment, a preset session interface (i.e., the first session interface) can be displayed. For example, when a first user performs an operation to display the preset session interface, such as when the first user triggers the preset session interface entry, the preset session interface can be displayed. Figure 2 As shown.

[0047] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 2 The first session interface may include a first message display area 20 and a message input area 21. The first message display area 20 can be understood as the message display area of ​​the first session interface. The first message display area 20 can be used to display session messages sent by users in the preset session; the message input area 21 can be used for the user currently viewing the first session interface (such as the first user) in the preset session to input the message content of the session message to be sent in the preset session and / or to send a session message in the preset session.

[0048] S102. Display the first session message in the first message display area of ​​the first session interface.

[0049] The first session message can be a session message that triggers a response from a virtual object. For example, the message content and / or message indication of the first session message can be associated with a virtual object set in a preset session. For instance, the message content of the first session message may mention (e.g., @) a virtual object set in the preset session; and / or, the first session message may include a session message containing an information retrieval instruction or a message content summary instruction. For example, the first session message can be used to instruct information retrieval or to instruct a summary of the message content of one or more historical session messages in the preset session. The following explanation uses a session message whose message content mentions a virtual object set in the preset session as an example. The first session message can be sent by a first user or a second user. For example, the first session message can be a session message sent by the first user in the preset session, or a session message received by the first user in the preset session but sent by a second user in the preset session.

[0050] Specifically, the first session message 30 can be displayed in the first message display area 20 of the first session interface, such as... Figure 3 and 4 As shown in the figure (taking the first session message 30 sent by the first user as an example), for example, the first message display area 20 of the first session interface displays the first session message 30 sent by the first user or the second user in the preset session.

[0051] S103. Based on the display of the first session message, display the first reply message of the virtual object in the first message display area in response to the first session message. The first reply message is generated based on at least one reference content. The at least one reference content is obtained based on a preset session message. The preset session message includes the first session message and / or a second session message associated with the first session message.

[0052] The virtual object can be understood as an object associated with the first conversation message, such as a virtual chatbot or chat assistant associated with the first conversation message. This virtual object can respond to conversation messages associated with it in the preset conversation based on artificial intelligence (AI) and / or large language model (LLM).

[0053] The first reply message can be understood as a response to the first conversation message. The first reply message is used to reply to the first conversation message. When the message instructions in the first conversation message are different, the message content of the first reply message can also be different. For example, when the first conversation message contains an information retrieval instruction, the message content of the first reply message can include information matching the message retrieval instruction; when the first conversation message contains a message content summary instruction, the message content of the first reply message can include a summary of one or more conversation messages corresponding to this first conversation message. The first reply message can include text content and / or image content, and this image content can include, but is not limited to, image content and / or video content.

[0054] The first reply message is generated based on at least one piece of reference content. This reference content can be obtained based on the message indication of the first session message. For example, the first session message can be determined based on a preset session message, and at least one piece of reference content matching it can be obtained based on the first session message. Exemplarily, this reference content may include reference content other than knowledge pre-set in the preset session; for example, this virtual object does not need to pre-set knowledge when replying to a message. In some examples, this reference content may include search results obtained from information searches in public information and / or historical session messages in the current preset session.

[0055] The preset session messages include a first session message and / or a second session message. This second session message can be understood as a session message in the preset session that is associated with the first session message. For example, the second session message may include the m most recently sent session messages in the preset session before the first session message and / or the n most recently sent session messages by the user who sent the first session message before the first session message, and so on. Both m and n are positive integers, and their values ​​can be set as needed. For example, m and / or n can be set to 10, 20, or 30, etc., and m and n can be the same or different.

[0056] Specifically, after displaying the first session message 30 in the first message display area 20, the first reply message 50 generated by the virtual object in response to the first session message 30 can be obtained based on the display of this first session message 30, and this first reply message 50 can be displayed in the first message display area 20, such as... Figure 5 and 6 As shown.

[0057] In some implementations, an association information retrieval instruction can be triggered based on the display of the first session message, so that a subsequent response to this association information retrieval instruction can retrieve the first reply message of the virtual object in response to the first session message. Optionally, displaying the first reply message of the virtual object in the first message display area based on the display of the first session message includes: triggering an association information retrieval instruction based on the first session message, wherein the association information retrieval instruction retrieves the first reply message of the virtual object in response to the first session message based on the first session message. Here, the association information retrieval instruction can be understood as an instruction to retrieve association information. This association information retrieval instruction can be configured to trigger the invocation of the virtual object to retrieve the first reply message of the virtual object in response to the first session message.

[0058] In this embodiment, the virtual object can respond to an associated message retrieval instruction by generating a first reply message for the first session message. For example, based on the first session message and / or a second session message associated with the first session message in a preset session, the first session message is analyzed to determine the message instruction of the first session message. According to the first session message, at least one matching reference content is obtained, such as by information search or by retrieving at least one reference content matching the message instruction from historical session messages in the preset session. Based on the obtained at least one reference content, a first reply message matching the message instruction of the first session message is generated, and this first reply message is used to reply to the first session message. Correspondingly, the current application can obtain the first reply message generated by the virtual object for the first session message and display the first reply message as a session message sent by the virtual object in the first message display area.

[0059] In some implementations, users in a preset session can trigger a virtual object to search for information and generate a reply message based on the search results by sending a first session message in the preset session. This does not require the user to exit the first session interface of the preset session. After a series of triggering operations, the user can enter the search interface to search for information and share the searched information to the preset session or edit and send a session message based on the searched information. This simplifies the operations required for information searching in preset sessions between multiple users and enriches the reply methods for session messages in preset sessions.

[0060] Optionally, displaying the first reply message of the virtual object in response to the first session message in the first message display area includes: in response to the associated information acquisition instruction, acquiring at least a portion of the first reply content generated by the virtual object in response to the preset session message, using it as the message content of the first reply message, and displaying the first reply message in the first message display area, wherein the first reply content is generated based on at least one search content, and the at least one search content is obtained based on the first session message and / or the second session message.

[0061] The first reply can be understood as the reply content generated by the virtual object in response to the first reply message. The search content can be reference content obtained through information searching. The search content can be obtained by searching information based on the first session message and / or the second session message.

[0062] For example, a virtual object may, in response to an associated information retrieval instruction, analyze the message indication of the first session message based on the first session message 30 and / or the second session message. If the analysis determines that the first session message 30 indicates information retrieval (e.g., ...), ... Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 Taking the first session message 30 indicating the retrieval of scenic spot information as an example, at least one search term matching the message indication of the first session message 30 can be generated; information searches are performed based on each generated search term to obtain search results; at least a portion of the search results is obtained as a reference search, such as obtaining the top k results as search content; each search content is analyzed to generate the first reply content of the first session message 30; and at least a portion of the first reply content can be obtained as the message content of the first reply message 50, which is then sent in a preset session. Correspondingly, the current application can receive the first reply message 50 sent by the virtual object and display it in the first message display area 20 of the first session interface in the form of a session message sent by the virtual object, such as... Figure 5 As shown.

[0063] In the above embodiments, the first reply message may include at least part of the first reply content generated by the virtual object in response to the first session message.

[0064] In some examples, instead of pre-setting the message character threshold or message size threshold for reply messages (such as the first reply message) sent by the virtual object in a session between multiple users (such as a preset session), the entire content of the first reply generated by the virtual object can be directly obtained as the message content of the first reply message, and the first reply message containing this entire content can be displayed in the first message display area to simplify the operations required for users to view the complete content of the first reply generated by the virtual object.

[0065] In some examples, a threshold for the number of characters and / or the size of the reply messages sent by the virtual object in a session between multiple users can be preset. After the virtual object generates the first reply content, at least a portion of the first reply content not exceeding this threshold for the number of characters and / or the size of the message can be obtained as the message content of the first reply message, and the first reply message containing this at least portion of the content can be displayed in the first message display area so that the user can view other session messages in the preset session in the first message display area. For example, if the total number of characters in the first reply content is less than or equal to this threshold for the number of characters and the total display size of the first reply content is less than or equal to this threshold for the size of the message, the entire content of the first reply content generated by the virtual object can be obtained as the message content of the first reply message; if the total number of characters in the first reply content is greater than this threshold for the number of characters and / or the total display size of the first reply content is greater than this threshold for the size of the message, a portion of the content of the first reply content generated by the virtual object can be obtained as the message content of the first reply message.

[0066] In some implementations, users in a preset session can instruct a virtual object to summarize the message content of one or more historical session messages in the preset session by sending a first session message in the preset session. This allows users to understand the session content of the preset session without having to view each historical session message sent in the preset session one by one, which can reduce the time spent by users to understand the session content of the preset session and enrich the ways to reply to session messages in the preset session.

[0067] Optionally, displaying the first reply message of the virtual object in the first message display area in response to the association information acquisition instruction includes: summarizing the session messages in response to the association information acquisition instruction, acquiring at least a portion of the second reply content obtained by summarizing the virtual object in response to at least one historical session message in the preset session, using it as the message content of the first reply message, and displaying the first reply message in the first message display area, wherein the at least one historical session message corresponds to the preset session message.

[0068] The historical session messages can be session messages sent in a preset session, such as session messages sent before the first session message. These can be session messages in the preset session whose message content needs to be summarized. The method for determining these historical session messages can be preset or determined based on message conditions contained in the preset session messages or the status of each session message in the preset session. Optionally, at least one historical session message matches the message conditions in the preset session message or is in a selected state. For example, session messages that match the message conditions contained in the preset session can be obtained as historical session messages to be summarized, or session messages in a selected state in the preset session can be used as historical session messages to be summarized. These message conditions can be understood as the conditions that the session messages to be summarized must meet. Such message conditions can be used to indicate the sending time of the historical session message, the sending user, and / or the number of session messages between the first session message and the previous session message.

[0069] The second response content can be understood as the response content generated by the virtual object summarizing the content of at least one historical session message in the preset session. Optionally, the second response content includes the message summary content of the at least one historical session message and / or the event information to be executed. This message summary content can be generated by summarizing and generalizing the message content of the at least one historical session message. This event information to be executed can be understood as the event information of the event to be executed (such as the event execution party information and / or event content information). The event information to be executed can be generated by the virtual object based on the aforementioned at least one historical session message. For example, the virtual object can generate an event to be executed related to the aforementioned at least one historical session message and determine the task information (event information to be executed) of the event to be executed.

[0070] For example, a virtual object may, in response to an associated message retrieval instruction, analyze the message indication of the first session message based on the first session message 30 and / or the second session message, and if the analysis determines that the first session message 20 indicates a session message summary (e.g., ... Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4Taking the first session message 30 indicating a summary of session messages sent that day in a preset session as an example, it can retrieve historical session messages in the preset session that match the message conditions in the first session message 20 and / or the second session message, or retrieve historical session messages in the preset session that are selected. The retrieved historical session messages are then summarized to generate a second reply, which is used as the message content of the first reply message 50 and sent in the preset session. Correspondingly, the current application can receive the first reply message 50 sent by the virtual object and display it in the first message display area 20 of the first session interface in the form of a session message sent by the virtual object. Figure 6 As shown.

[0071] In addition, in some implementations, users can also be allowed to instruct virtual objects to perform certain tasks by sending session messages in the first session interface, such as session management and / or timed reminders for preset sessions, which can be set as needed.

[0072] The method for replying to conversation messages provided in this embodiment displays a first conversation interface of a preset conversation, which includes a first user and at least one second user; a first conversation message is displayed in a first message display area of ​​the first conversation interface; based on the display of the first conversation message, a first reply message from a virtual object to the first conversation message is displayed in the first message display area. This first reply message is generated based on at least one piece of reference content, which is obtained based on the preset conversation message. The preset conversation message includes the first conversation message and / or a second conversation message associated with the first conversation message. This embodiment, utilizing the above technical solution, supports waking up a virtual object set in the preset conversation by sending a first conversation message in the preset conversation for preset conversations between multiple users. The virtual object obtains at least one piece of reference content based on the message instruction of the first conversation message and replies to the first conversation message based on this at least one piece of reference content. This enriches the reference content used by the virtual object to reply to messages in conversations between multiple users and the reply methods for conversation messages in conversations between multiple users.

[0073] In some embodiments, users may also be allowed to enter a second session interface between themselves and the virtual object based on the first reply message, which facilitates interaction between the user and the virtual object in the second session interface.

[0074] Optionally, the method for replying to the conversation message may further include: in response to a conversation interface display operation based on the first reply message, displaying a second conversation interface between the first user and the virtual object; in response to a second message sending operation based on the second conversation interface, sending a fourth conversation message and displaying the fourth conversation message in a second message display area of ​​the second conversation interface; and in response to the display of the fourth conversation message, displaying a second reply message from the virtual object to the fourth conversation message in the second message display area.

[0075] The operation of displaying the conversation interface based on the first reply message can be a triggering operation to instruct the display of the conversation interface between the first user and the virtual object that sent the first reply message. The execution method of this conversation interface display operation is not limited; for example, it can include triggering the first reply message and / or triggering the conversation interface display control associated with the first reply message, etc. The second conversation interface can be the conversation interface between the first user and the virtual object that sent the first reply message, and it is a different conversation interface from the first conversation interface. The second message sending operation can be a triggering operation to instruct the sending of a conversation message in the second conversation interface, such as triggering the message sending control displayed in the second conversation interface, etc. The second message display area can be the area in the second conversation interface used to display the conversation message sent between the first user and this virtual object. The fourth conversation message can be the conversation message sent as instructed by the second message sending operation. The second reply message can be understood as a reply message to the fourth conversation message, which can be generated by the virtual object in the second conversation interface based on the fourth conversation message.

[0076] Specifically, upon receiving a session interface display operation based on the first reply message 50, such as when it is detected that the first user triggers the first reply message 50 displayed in the first message display area 20, or when it is detected that the first user triggers the interface display control 51 associated with the first reply message 50 in the first message display area 20 (e.g., ... Figure 5 In the case shown), a second session interface 70 can be displayed between the first user and the virtual object that sent the first reply message 50, such as... Figure 7 As shown.

[0077] After the second conversation interface 70 is displayed, the first user can send conversation messages to the virtual object and / or view the response messages generated by the virtual object in response to the conversation messages sent by the first user. For example, the second conversation interface 70 may display a message input area; and / or, the second conversation interface 70 may display an input area display control 71 (such as...). Figure 7As shown, when the input area display control 71 is triggered by a second user, a message input area can be displayed in the second session interface 70. The message input area displayed in the second session interface 70 can be used by the first user to input and edit the message content of the session message to be sent to this virtual object.

[0078] When a second message sending operation based on the second session interface is received, such as when the message sending control in the second session interface 70 is triggered after the first user enters message content in the message input area of ​​the second session interface 70, the message content entered in the message input area of ​​the second session interface 70 can be used as the message content of the fourth session message, and this fourth session message can be sent and displayed in the second message display area of ​​the second session interface.

[0079] After the fourth session message is displayed in the second message display area, the second reply message generated by the virtual object based on this fourth session message can be obtained, and this fourth session message can be displayed in the second message display area of ​​the second session interface 70 in the form of a session message sent by this virtual object.

[0080] In some implementations, the second session interface can also allow users in a preset session to view the first reply content and / or second reply content generated by the virtual object in response to the first session message, corresponding to the first reply message. This eliminates the need to exit the first session interface and undergo a series of triggering operations to switch to the session interface between the first user and the virtual object, and then view the first reply content and / or second reply content by asking a question again in this session interface. This simplifies the operations required for users to view the first reply content and / or second reply content. Optionally, in this case, the session message reply method further includes: in response to a session interface display operation based on the first reply message, displaying the complete reply content of the virtual object in response to the first session message in the second message display area of ​​the second session interface. The complete reply content includes either the first reply content or the second reply content. For example, when displaying the second session interface between the first user and the virtual object that sent the first reply message in response to a session interface display operation based on the first reply message, the first reply content and / or second reply content corresponding to the first reply message can be further displayed in this second session interface, such as... Figure 7 As shown.

[0081] In this embodiment, when displaying the second conversation interface, the first conversation interface may be displayed or not. For example, in response to a conversation interface display operation based on a first reply message, the first conversation interface may be switched to the second conversation interface, such as canceling the display of the first conversation interface and displaying the second conversation interface; alternatively, the first conversation interface may be displayed, and the second conversation interface may be displayed on top of at least a portion of the first conversation interface. In this case, optionally, displaying the second conversation interface between the first user and the virtual object includes: maintaining the display of the first conversation interface and displaying the second conversation interface between the first user and the virtual object on top of at least a portion of the first conversation interface.

[0082] In some embodiments, when the first reply message contains image content, users can be supported to enter the image content display interface of the first reply message based on the first reply message, and switch to view different image content contained in the first reply message in this image content display interface, so as to enrich the way to view the image content in the first reply message and simplify the operations required to view different image content in the first reply message.

[0083] Optionally, the method for replying to the conversation message may further include: in response to an image content display operation based on the first reply message, displaying an image content display interface for the first reply message, and displaying preset image content in the first reply message on the image content display interface, the preset image content corresponding to the image content display operation; in response to an image content switching operation performed on the image content display interface, switching the image content displayed in the image content display interface.

[0084] The image content display operation based on the first reply message can be understood as an operation used to instruct the display of image content contained in the first reply message. The execution method of this image content display operation is not limited. For example, this image content display operation may include an operation that triggers the identification information (such as image content name, cover, and / or thumbnail) of a certain image content contained in the first reply message. The image content display interface of the first reply message can be an interface used to switch the display of image content contained in the first reply message. The preset image content can be the image content corresponding to the image content display operation, which can be the Lth (L is a positive integer) image content in the first reply message, or the image content triggered by the image content display operation, etc. The image content switching operation can be a triggering operation used to instruct the switching of the currently displayed image content in the image content display interface, such as a preset sliding operation on the image content display interface and / or an operation that triggers the image content switching control displayed in the image content display interface. This preset interactive operation can be a sliding operation along a preset direction, such as a horizontal sliding operation or a vertical sliding operation.

[0085] For example, upon receiving an image content display operation based on a first reply message, such as detecting that a first user has triggered a thumbnail of an image content displayed in the first reply message (e.g., ... Figure 5 and 6 In the case shown in the figure, an image content display interface for the first reply message can be displayed, and a preset image content corresponding to the image content display operation can be displayed in this image content display interface; and, when an image content switching operation is received in the image content display interface, the image content currently displayed in the image content display interface can be switched based on the image content switching operation and the display order of each image content in the first reply message, such as switching the image content currently displayed in the image content display interface to the previous or next image content of the image content displayed before the switch in the first reply message.

[0086] In some embodiments, the virtual object's reply to the first session message can be displayed in the first session interface only when a virtual object is set in the preset session, such as when the object reply function is enabled in the preset session; otherwise, the virtual object is not used to reply to the session messages in the first session interface, thus meeting different user reply needs. Optionally, in this case, displaying the virtual object's first reply to the first session message in the first message display area based on the display of the first session message includes: if the object reply function of the preset session is enabled, then displaying the virtual object's first reply to the first session message in the first message display area based on the display of the first session message. The object reply function can be a function that allows replying to at least some session messages (such as the first session message) in the preset session through a virtual object.

[0087] In the above embodiments, the management user of a preset session can enable or disable the object reply function of the preset session. Optionally, the first user is the management user of the preset session, and the method for replying to session messages further includes adjusting the object reply function of the preset session from a disabled state to an enabled state in response to the operation of enabling the object reply function of the preset session. When the object reply function is enabled, virtual objects can reply to session messages in the preset session.

[0088] The "reply function enable" operation can be a trigger operation used to instruct the object reply function of the preset session to be enabled, such as triggering the operation of the enable control corresponding to the object reply function of the preset session. The administrator user of the preset session can be a user with administrative permissions for the preset session. Taking a group session as an example, this administrator user can include, but is not limited to, the group owner of the preset session.

[0089] For example, when receiving an operation to enable the object reply function for a preset session, such as when the administrator of the preset session triggers the control to enable the object reply function for the preset session, the object reply function for the preset session can be enabled, that is, the object reply function for the preset session can be adjusted to the enabled state; when receiving an operation to disable the object reply function for the preset session, such as when the administrator of the preset session triggers the control to disable the object reply function for the preset session, the object reply function for the preset session can be disabled, that is, the object reply function for the preset session can be adjusted to the disabled state.

[0090] Figure 8This is a flowchart illustrating another method for replying to a conversation message provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. The solution in this embodiment can be combined with one or more optional solutions in the above embodiments. Optionally, displaying the first conversation message in the first message display area of ​​the first conversation interface includes: in response to a preset trigger operation by the first user, sending the first conversation message, triggering an associated information retrieval instruction, and displaying the first conversation message in the first message display area of ​​the first conversation interface; or, in response to receiving the first conversation message sent by the second user, displaying the first conversation message in the first message display area of ​​the first conversation interface.

[0091] Correspondingly, such as Figure 8 As shown, the method for replying to session messages provided in this embodiment may include:

[0092] S201. Display the first session interface of the preset session, and execute S202 and / or S203, wherein the preset session includes a first user and at least one second user.

[0093] S202. In response to the preset trigger operation of the first user, send a first session message, trigger an instruction to obtain associated information, and display the first session message in the first message display area of ​​the first session interface, and execute S204.

[0094] Specifically, upon receiving a preset trigger operation from the first user based on the first session interface, a first session message 30 can be sent based on this preset trigger operation to trigger an instruction to retrieve associated information. This first session message 30 can then be displayed in the first message display area 20 of the first session interface. Figure 3 and 4 As shown.

[0095] The preset trigger operation can be a trigger operation used to instruct the sending of the first session message, such as a trigger operation used to instruct the sending of a session message that mentions a virtual object. The execution method of the preset trigger operation is not limited. For example, the preset trigger operation may include the operation of triggering the operation of the preset control displayed in the first session interface, the operation of triggering the object identifier of the virtual object, the operation of triggering the operation of the preset prompt information displayed in the first session interface, or the operation of entering message content that mentions the virtual object in the message input area of ​​the first session message, etc.

[0096] In some embodiments, the method for replying to the session message further includes at least one of the following: displaying a preset control on the first session interface, the preset control being configured to trigger an association information retrieval indication; or, the preset control being configured to trigger the display of a virtual object set of the preset session, the virtual object set displaying a second object identifier of the virtual object, the second object identifier being configured to trigger an association information retrieval indication; displaying a third session message sent by the virtual object in a first message display area of ​​the first session interface, and displaying the third object identifier of the virtual object in a first association position of the third session message, the third object identifier being configured to trigger an association information retrieval indication; and displaying preset prompt information in response to a session message sent within a preset time length in the preset session satisfying a preset prompt condition, the preset prompt information being configured to trigger an association information retrieval indication.

[0097] In some examples, preset controls can be displayed on the first session interface to allow users (such as the first user) to perform preset trigger operations based on these preset controls, such as sending first session messages, triggering instructions to obtain related information, or viewing a collection of virtual objects in the preset session.

[0098] The display position of the preset control in the first session interface is not limited. For example, the preset control can be displayed in a preset position in the first session interface and / or in an associated position of certain session messages displayed in the first session interface, etc. Optionally, displaying the preset control in the first session interface includes: displaying a first preset control in a preset position in the first session interface; and / or, displaying a second preset control in a second associated position of at least some session messages in the first session interface, wherein the at least some session messages indicate information retrieval or session message summary.

[0099] The preset controls may include a first preset control and / or a second preset control. The first preset control can be understood as a preset control displayed at a preset position on the first session interface. This preset position can be located at the bottom, top, left, or right of the first session interface, etc., and this embodiment does not impose any limitations. The second preset control can be understood as a preset control associated with certain session messages in the first session interface. The second associated position can be a position associated with the display position of a certain session message on the first session interface. The second associated position of the session message can be a position near the display position of this session message, such as being located above, below, to the left, or to the right of this session message. This session message can be a session message indicating information retrieval or a session message summary, such as a session message indicating information retrieval or a session message summary. Optionally, at least some of the session messages are sent by the first user and / or the second user. For example, this session message can be a session message sent by the first user in a preset session, or it can be a session message sent by the second user in a preset session.

[0100] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the first session interface is displayed, a first preset control 22 can be displayed at a preset position on the first session interface, such as above the message input area 21 of the first session interface. And / or, when the first session interface displays a session message indicating the presence of an information retrieval instruction and / or a session message summary instruction, a second preset control 23 can be displayed at a second associated position on this session message. For example, based on whether the message content contains a setting sentence to determine the information retrieval instruction and the session message summary instruction, this setting sentence can be set as needed. For example, this setting sentence can include a question sentence and / or a search sentence, etc.

[0101] After displaying the preset controls, users can trigger preset trigger operations to obtain associated information by triggering the preset controls; and / or, users can view the virtual object set of the preset session by triggering the preset controls, and trigger the associated information obtain instruction by triggering the second object identifier of a virtual object in the virtual object set. This embodiment does not limit this. This virtual object set can be understood as the set of virtual objects set in the preset session. The virtual object set may display the second object identifiers of one or more virtual objects set in the preset session. This second object identifier can be understood as the object identifier of the virtual object displayed in the virtual object set, such as the virtual object's avatar and / or name, etc.

[0102] In some implementations, when a preset session has only one virtual object, the preset control can be configured to trigger an association information retrieval indication, such as triggering the execution of a preset trigger operation to trigger the association information retrieval indication; when a preset session has multiple virtual objects, the preset control can be configured to trigger the display of the virtual object set of the preset session. And / or, one of the first preset control and the second preset control can be configured to trigger the display of the virtual object set of the preset session, and the other can be configured to trigger an association information retrieval indication, such as triggering the execution of a preset trigger operation to trigger the association information retrieval indication, and so on. The virtual object set of the preset session can be displayed within the first session interface or within an interface different from the first session interface; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0103] In some examples, when a session message (such as a third session message) sent by a virtual object is displayed in the first message display area, a third object identifier of the virtual object can be displayed at the first associated position of this session message. This allows the user to trigger a preset trigger operation by activating this third object identifier to trigger an instruction to retrieve associated information. For example, upon receiving a third session message sent by a virtual object, this third session message can be displayed in the first message display area, and the third object identifier of the virtual object that sent the third session message can be displayed at the first associated position of the third session message. The first associated position can be a position associated with the third session message, which may include, but is not limited to, the location where the sender's identifier of the third session message is displayed. The third object identifier can be the object identifier of the virtual object displayed at the first associated position, such as the virtual object's avatar and / or name, and it may be the same as or different from the second object identifier.

[0104] In some optional examples, upon receiving a long-press operation on the third object identifier displayed in the first session interface, it can be determined that a preset trigger operation has been received. In response to this preset trigger operation, the first object identifier of the virtual object corresponding to the third object identifier can be displayed in the message input area of ​​the first session interface. Thus, the first user can directly send the message content entered in the message input area. In this case, the first session message may only contain the "@" content for this virtual object, without containing other message content, such as... Figure 9 As shown; alternatively, users can continue to enter the message content to be sent in the message input area before sending. Furthermore, upon receiving a click operation on the third object identifier displayed in the first session interface, an object information panel corresponding to this third object identifier can be displayed, showing the basic and descriptive information of this virtual object for the first user to view.

[0105] In some examples, when the number of session messages sent within a preset time period in a preset session meets preset prompt conditions, preset prompt information can be displayed on the first session interface. This preset prompt information prompts the user to trigger a virtual object to retrieve information and / or summarize session messages by sending the first session message. Thus, the first user can execute a preset trigger operation by triggering this preset prompt information to trigger the associated content retrieval instruction. Both the preset time period and the preset prompt conditions can be set as needed; for example, the preset time period can be set to 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes, etc. Preset prompt conditions may include, for example, the total number of session messages sent within the preset time period reaching a preset threshold, or at least one session message sent within the preset time period containing an information retrieval instruction and / or a session message summary instruction, etc.

[0106] In some implementations, upon receiving a preset trigger operation, a first session message can be sent directly in response to this preset trigger operation, such as generating and sending the first session message based on this preset trigger operation, without needing to input the object identifier of the virtual object in the message input area of ​​the first session interface in response to this preset trigger operation, thereby simplifying the operations required to send the first session message.

[0107] In some implementations, after receiving a preset trigger operation, the object identifier of the virtual object can be entered into the message input area of ​​the first session interface, so that the first user can continue to edit the message content of the first session message to be sent in the message input area, making the sent first session message more in line with the needs of the first user.

[0108] Optionally, the first session message mentions the virtual object, and the step of sending the first session message in response to the preset trigger operation of the first user includes: in response to the preset trigger operation of the first user, inputting the first object identifier of the virtual object into the message input area of ​​the first session interface; in response to the first message sending operation based on the message input area, obtaining the message content input in the message input area as the message content of the first session message, and sending the first session message.

[0109] The first message sending operation can be a triggering operation used to indicate the message content entered in the message input area, such as triggering the message sending control corresponding to the message input area. The first object identifier can be understood as the object identifier entered into the message input area of ​​the first session interface in response to the first user's preset triggering operation. The first object identifier may include, but is not limited to, the avatar and / or name of a virtual object, which may be the same as or different from the first object identifier and / or the second object identifier.

[0110] Specifically, when the current application receives a preset trigger operation from the first user, it can input the first object identifier of the virtual object into the message input area 21 of the first session interface, such as... Figure 9 As shown, this virtual object is mentioned in the message input area 21. Thus, the user can input and / or edit the message content they wish to send in the message input area 21, and perform a first message sending operation after inputting and / or editing, such as triggering the message sending control corresponding to the message input area 21. Figure 9 (Not shown in the image). When the current application receives the first message from the first user, it can retrieve the message content entered in the message input area 21 as the message content of the first session message 30, send the first session message 30, trigger the associated information retrieval instruction, and display this first session message 30 in the first message display area 20 of the first session interface, such as... Figure 3 and 4 As shown.

[0111] In some implementations, when the first object identifier of a virtual object is input into the message input area 21 of the first session interface in response to a preset trigger operation, other message content besides the first object identifier may be input into the message input area 21 without responding to this preset trigger operation, such as... Figure 9 As shown.

[0112] In some implementations, when the first object identifier of a virtual object is input into the message input area 21 of the first session interface in response to a preset trigger operation, other message content besides the first object identifier can be input in the message input area 21 in response to this preset trigger operation, thereby simplifying the operations required for the user to input message content. The input of this other message content can be generated based on session messages in a preset session or can be preset; this embodiment does not limit this.

[0113] In some examples, upon receiving a preset trigger operation applied to a second preset control, in response to this preset trigger operation, the first object identifier of the virtual object and at least a portion of the message content of the session message corresponding to the second preset control can be input into the message input area of ​​the first session interface, such as... Figure 10 As shown. In this case, optionally, the step of inputting the first object identifier of the virtual object into the message input area of ​​the first session interface in response to the preset trigger operation of the first user includes: in response to the preset trigger operation based on the second preset control, inputting the first object identifier of the preset object and at least a portion of the message content of the session message corresponding to the second preset control into the message input area of ​​the first session interface.

[0114] In some examples, upon receiving a preset trigger operation based on preset prompt information, the system can respond to this preset trigger operation by inputting the first object identifier of the virtual object and the preset message content corresponding to the preset prompt information into the message input area of ​​the first session interface. Optionally, in this case, inputting the first object identifier of the virtual object into the message input area of ​​the first session interface in response to the preset trigger operation of the first user includes: inputting the first object identifier of the virtual object and the preset message content corresponding to the preset prompt information into the message input area of ​​the first session interface in response to the preset trigger operation based on the preset prompt information. The preset message content corresponding to the preset prompt information can be preset.

[0115] S203. In response to receiving the first session message sent by the second user, display the first session message in the first message display area of ​​the first session interface.

[0116] In this embodiment, the first session message can also be sent by a second user in a preset session. Upon receiving the first session message from the second user, this first session message can be displayed in the first message display area of ​​the first session interface. The method by which the second user sends the first session message is similar to the method by which the first user sends the first session message, and will not be described again here.

[0117] S204. Based on the display of the first session message, display a first reply message from a virtual object to the first session message in the first message display area. The first reply message is generated based on at least one reference content. The at least one reference content is obtained based on a preset session message. The preset session message includes the first session message and / or a second session message associated with the first session message.

[0118] The method for replying to conversation messages provided in this embodiment supports virtual objects in replying to first conversation messages sent by the first user in a preset conversation and / or first conversation messages received by the first user in a preset conversation, which can further enrich the ways of replying to conversation messages.

[0119] Figure 11 This is a structural block diagram of a conversation message reply device provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. The device can be implemented by software and / or hardware, and can be configured in an electronic device, typically a computer, mobile phone, or tablet computer. It can reply to conversation messages in a conversation through a virtual object by executing a conversation message reply method, such as replying to conversation messages in a conversation through information search using a virtual object, or summarizing conversation messages in a conversation using a virtual object. Figure 11As shown, the conversation message reply device provided in this embodiment may include: a first interface display module 1101, a conversation message display module 1102, and a reply message display module 1103, wherein,
