Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0012] To help those skilled in the art better understand the technical solutions in the present disclosure, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0015] The terms such as "first", "second", "third", etc. may be used in the present disclosure to describe various information, but it should be understood that such terms should not be limited thereto. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, the first information may also be called the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be called the first information. Depending on the context, the term "if" used herein can be interpreted as "when", "in the case of", or "in response to a determination".

[0016] With the continuous development of computer software technology, instant messaging tools are increasingly applied to people's work and life. Instant messaging tools have a group session function, through which people can communicate with group members within the group, and in particular, can discuss hot topics within the group. However, when the number of group members is large, multiple topics may be discussed among different members, and the content regarding the same topic may be too scattered to be easily summarized, making it difficult for group members to read the information.

[0017] In related technologies, a user can create a group in topic mode using an instant messaging tool, and in the group in topic mode, the user can discuss different topics with group members. Each topic corresponds to one topic area, and the information regarding the topic is all displayed within the topic area corresponding to the topic. However, after creating a group in topic mode, group members can only interact in topic mode, which has certain limitations.

[0018] The method for processing instant messaging session information provided by this disclosure switches the target session from one session mode to another by the user's switching of the session mode for the target session in the instant messaging client, thereby managing session messages in different session message management methods in different session modes. This expands the function of the instant messaging session and improves the user experience.

[0019] FIG. 1a is a schematic diagram of a session interface of an instant messaging client according to an exemplary embodiment. For example, User A who logs in to the instant messaging client is one of the group members of group A, where group A is the name of the group. User A may be the administrator of group A and has multiple group management authorities, including the authority to manage the session mode of the group session.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 1a, User A can call the sidebar 101 where group management items are displayed in the session interface of group A, for example, by triggering the group management button. This includes session mode management items. The session mode management items include the normal mode and the topic mode. User A can switch the session mode by clicking the option button before the normal mode or the topic mode. Specifically, for example, if the current session mode is the normal mode, User A can click the option button before the topic mode and confirm the continuation of the switch. The instant messaging client sends a session mode switch request for group A to the server in response to the session mode switch operation of User A for group A. The server has a session attribute set R for group A pre-stored. The session attribute set R includes the attribute values of each attribute corresponding to group A, including the attribute value of the session mode attribute. After receiving the session mode switch request, the server can update the attribute value of the session mode attribute included in the session attribute set R, updating the attribute value a corresponding to the normal mode to the attribute value b corresponding to the topic mode.

[0021] Next, the server can push an update message to the clients of each member (including User A) in Group A, and the update message includes the session attribute set R. After receiving the update message, the client of each member in Group A can check the attribute values corresponding to each attribute in the session attribute set R. When it is determined that the attribute value of the session mode attribute has changed from a to b, the session corresponding to Group A is switched from the normal mode to the topic mode. Optionally, the server can also push a system notification message to each member in Group A, and the system notification message is used to notify each member that User A has already updated the session mode of Group A.

[0022] Figure 1b is a schematic diagram of a session interface in which the session corresponding to Group A is switched from the normal mode to the topic mode. As shown in Figure 1b, a notification message with the content "User A has already switched this group to the topic mode so as to focus the discussion" is displayed on the session interface of Group A. Also, in the session interface, the message input box 102 shown in Figure 1a is hidden, and the topic creation button 103 is displayed, thereby preventing the user from accidentally sending a reply to an existing topic as a new topic by mistake. When the user triggers the topic creation button by clicking or the like, a topic input box is displayed.

[0023] Figure 1c is a schematic diagram of a session interface when the user triggers the topic creation button. For example, when User A triggers the topic creation button 103 by clicking, a topic input box 104 is displayed on the session interface. User A can input the topic content in the topic input box 104, send the topic content to Group A, and create and start a new topic.

[0024] Figure 1d is a schematic diagram of a session interface where the user starts a topic. After user A sends the topic content to group A, in the session interface, in the management mode of the topic mode, a topic card 105 corresponding to the topic content is displayed. The topic card 105 can be displayed behind the avatar of user A. The topic card 105 includes a topic area where the topic content is displayed and a comment area where the comment content is displayed. Below the comment area, a reply input box 106 for inputting comment content is displayed. Any member participating in the topic within group A can input and send comment content for the topic through the reply input box 106. If there is too much topic content or comment content corresponding to the topic, in the topic card 105, a part of the topic content or comment content can be folded. By operating to view the topic, the user can call out the sidebar corresponding to the topic, expand the topic detail interface corresponding to the topic in the sidebar, and display the detailed content corresponding to the topic in the topic detail interface, thereby expanding the display area corresponding to the topic.

[0025] Figure 1e is a schematic diagram of a session interface where the user calls out the sidebar of the topic. Specifically, the user can call out the sidebar 107 corresponding to the topic by triggering (for example, clicking) any area of the topic card 105 or the avatar of user A in front of the topic card 105. The complete topic content and comment content corresponding to the topic are displayed in the sidebar 107 for the user to view. Also, at the bottom of the sidebar 107, a reply input box 108 for inputting comment content is displayed. Any member participating in the topic within group A can also input and send comment content for the topic through the reply input box 108.

[0026] Even after switching the session corresponding to group A from the normal mode to the topic mode, the historical messages received before the switch are still displayed as they are, that is, they are still managed in the normal mode. New messages received after the switch are managed in the topic mode. When switching the session mode from the topic mode back to the normal mode again, the messages received after the second switch are managed in the normal mode again.

[0027] The solution provided by this embodiment enables the user to switch the target session from one session mode to another by switching the session mode for the target session in the instant messaging client, thereby managing the session messages in different session message management methods in different session modes. This extends the function of the instant messaging session and improves the user experience. For example, in some scenarios, at the initial stage of creating a normal mode group, since there are few group members and little discussion content, there is no problem in viewing each session message one by one. However, as the number of group members increases, the messages in the group increase, the content becomes scattered, and the messages become increasingly chaotic. At this time, converting the group into a topic group can effectively solve this problem.

[0028] Furthermore, after switching the target session from the first session mode to the second session mode, the display method of the historical session messages remains unchanged, and the new session messages are displayed in the session message display method corresponding to the second session mode. Thereby improving the display effect of the session messages and further improving the user experience.

[0029] Furthermore, the session interface hides the message input box that the target session normally displays in the normal mode, displays the topic creation button, and after the user triggers the topic creation button, displays the topic input box, thus preventing the user from accidentally sending a reply to an existing topic as a new topic due to a misoperation, and further improving the user experience.

[0030] Furthermore, in the target session, by displaying topic cards corresponding to each topic respectively, and displaying the topic content corresponding to a certain topic on the topic card corresponding to that topic, the content for the same topic can be more aggregated, making it easier for the user to operate and further improving the user experience.

[0031] Furthermore, when the user triggers a topic browsing operation, by expanding the topic detail interface corresponding to that topic in the sidebar and displaying the detailed content corresponding to that topic in the topic detail interface, the display area corresponding to that topic is expanded, making it easier for the user to browse the topic messages and further improving the user experience.

[0032] Hereinafter, the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments.

[0033] FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a method for processing instant messaging session information according to an exemplary embodiment. The method can be applied to a terminal device. In this embodiment, for ease of understanding, a terminal device capable of installing a third-party instant messaging client is taken as an example for description. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the terminal device can include, but is not limited to, mobile terminal devices such as smartphones, smart wearable devices, tablet PCs, etc. The method can include the following steps.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 2, in step 201, a session mode switching operation for the target session is received.

[0035] In this embodiment, the target session may be a group session created for a target group in an instant messaging client. The instant messaging client may be a third-party application installed on a terminal device. A user can instant message with group members of the target group via the group session in the instant messaging client. Here, the target session can include at least two session modes. For example, the session modes can include, but are not limited to, a normal mode and a topic mode.

[0036] In different session modes, the management methods of session messages are different. For example, the management methods of session messages in different session modes can have at least one difference in the display method of session messages, the sending method of session messages, and the notification method of session messages. Hereinafter, taking the session modes including the normal mode and the topic mode as an example, the management methods of different session messages will be illustrated.

[0037] Regarding the display method of session messages, in the normal mode, session messages can be sequentially displayed on the session interface in session form in the order of the time when the session messages are sent. On the other hand, in the topic mode, topics can be displayed on the session interface in the form of topic cards in the order of the time when the topics are created. Here, each topic card displays the topic content and topic comments related to the topic.

[0038] Regarding the sending method of session messages, in the normal mode, a message input box can be directly displayed on the session interface, and the user can directly input the session message into the message input box to send the session message to the target session. On the other hand, in the topic mode, the message input box displayed in the normal mode is hidden on the session interface, and a topic creation button is displayed. When the user triggers the topic creation button, a topic input box is displayed on the session interface. The user inputs the topic content of the new topic through the topic input box and sends the topic content to the target session. The topic content is displayed on the topic card corresponding to the new topic, and a reply input box is displayed at the bottom of the topic card. The user can input the comment content of the new topic through the reply input box and send the comment content to the target session.

[0039] Regarding the notification method of session messages, in the normal mode, after a new session message is generated, all group members can receive a new message notification. On the other hand, in the topic mode, after a new topic is created, only the group members participating in the new topic can receive a new message notification.

[0040] In this embodiment, the session mode of the target session can be switched. Specifically, in one implementation form, all group members corresponding to the target session can switch the session mode of the target session through the session mode switching interface provided in the instant messaging client. In other implementation forms, it is also possible to set the operation authority for switching the session mode in advance, whereby a part of the group members have the operation authority to switch the session mode. For example, the group administrator may have the operation authority as the default, or the group administrator may specify that some group members obtain the operation authority, etc. The instant messaging client provides the session mode switching interface corresponding to the target session to the group members with the operation authority, and does not provide the session mode switching interface to the group members without the operation authority. Therefore, only the group members with the operation authority can switch the session mode of the target session through the session mode switching interface.

[0041] Next, in step 202, in response to the session mode switching operation, the target session is switched from the first session mode to the second session mode.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the instant messaging client receives a session mode switching operation by the user for a target session, it sends a session mode switching request to the server. After receiving the session mode switching request, the server can obtain the set of session attributes corresponding to the target session pre-stored. The set of session attributes includes the attribute values of each attribute corresponding to the target session. Here, it includes the attribute value of the session mode attribute, and different attribute values of the session mode attribute correspond to different session modes. The server can change the attribute value of the above session mode attribute based on the session mode switching request (that is, change the attribute value corresponding to the first session mode to the attribute value corresponding to the second session mode), and update the set of session attributes.

[0043] Subsequently, the server sends the updated set of session attributes to each group member of the target group. The instant messaging clients logged in by each group member of the target group, after receiving the set of session attributes sent from the server, check the attribute values of each attribute in the set of session attributes. Each instant messaging client checks that the attribute value of the session mode attribute has changed, and when the changed attribute value corresponds to the second session mode, updates the attribute value of each session mode attribute to the attribute value of the second session mode, thereby switching the target session from the first session mode to the second session mode.

[0044] Optionally, after the server receives the session mode switching request, a notification message for changing the session mode of the target session may be sent to each group member of the target group. After each group member of the target group who has logged in to the instant messaging client receives the notification message, the instant messaging client displays the notification message on the target session interface to notify each group member that the session mode of the target session has already been switched.

[0045] Note that after the target session is switched from the first session mode to the second session mode, the display method of the session messages generated before the switch in the target session remains unchanged. For example, the session messages generated in the first session mode before the switch are still displayed in the display method corresponding to the first session mode, that is, the display method remains unchanged. The new session messages after the switch in the target session are displayed in the session message display method corresponding to the second session mode.

[0046] The method for processing instant messaging session information provided by this disclosure enables a user to switch the target session from one session mode to another by switching the session mode for the target session in the instant messaging client, thereby managing session messages in different session message management methods in different session modes. This expands the functions of the instant messaging session and improves the user experience.

[0047] Corresponding to the above-described embodiments of the method for processing instant messaging session information, this disclosure also provides embodiments of an apparatus for processing instant messaging session information.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of a processing apparatus for instant messaging session information according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and the apparatus can include a receiving module 301 and a switching module 302.

[0049] Here, the receiving module 301 is used to receive a session mode switching operation for a target session.

[0050] The switching module 302 is used to switch the target session from the first session mode to the second session mode in response to the session mode switching operation. Here, the session message management methods in different session modes are different, and the first session mode and the second session mode are different session modes.

[0051] In some embodiments, the fact that the session message management methods in different session modes are different includes that at least one of the display method of session messages, the transmission method of session messages, and the notification method of session messages in different session modes is different.

[0052] In some other embodiments, after the switching module 302 switches the target session from the first session mode to the second session mode, the display method of the session messages generated before the switching in the target session remains unchanged, and the new session messages after the switching in the target session are displayed in the session message display method corresponding to the second session mode.

[0053] In some other embodiments, the switching module 302 can include a transmission sub-module, a reception sub-module, and a switching sub-module (not shown).

[0054] Here, the transmission sub-module is used to send a session mode switching request to the server in response to a session mode switching operation.

[0055] The reception sub-module is used to receive a set of session attributes sent from the server, and the set of session attributes includes a session mode attribute.

[0056] When it is determined that the attribute value of the session mode attribute included in the set of session attributes corresponds to the second session mode, the switching sub-module is used to switch the target session from the first session mode to the second session mode.

[0057] In some other embodiments, the apparatus may also include a notification reception module and a notification display module (not shown).

[0058] Here, the notification reception module is used to receive a notification message sent from the server to change the session mode of the target session after sending the session mode switching request to the server.

[0059] The notification display module is used to display the notification message on the target session interface.

[0060] In some other embodiments, the apparatus may also include an interface display module (not shown).

[0061] Here, the interface display module is used to display a session mode switching interface corresponding to the target session to a user with a preset permission before receiving the session mode switching operation.

[0062] Here, receiving a session mode switching operation for a target session includes receiving, on a session mode switching interface by a user with a preset permission, a session mode switching operation for the target session.

[0063] In some other embodiments, the first session mode is the normal mode, and the second session mode is the topic mode.

[0064] In some other embodiments, the apparatus may further include a hiding module and an input module (not shown).

[0065] Here, the hiding module is used to hide the message input box displayed by the target session in the normal mode and display a topic creation button after switching the target session from the normal mode to the topic mode.

[0066] The input module is used to display a topic input box in response to a triggering operation on the topic creation button by the user.

[0067] In some other embodiments, session messages corresponding to the topic mode can be displayed as follows: In the target session, topic cards corresponding to each topic are displayed, and the topic content corresponding to the topic is displayed on the topic card corresponding to any topic.

[0068] In some other embodiments, the apparatus may further include an expansion module (not shown).

[0069] Here, the expansion module is used to expand a topic detail interface corresponding to the topic in the sidebar and display the detailed content corresponding to the topic on the topic detail interface in response to a browsing operation on the topic by the user.

[0070] In some other embodiments, the operation of browsing a topic includes an operation of triggering the avatar of the topic creator or an operation of triggering the topic card corresponding to the topic.
