Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to more thoroughly and completely understand the present disclosure. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are merely for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0010] In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "including" and similar terms should be understood as non-limiting inclusion, that is, "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "at least partially based on". The term "embodiment" or "this embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The term "some embodiments" should be understood as "at least some embodiments". There may also be other explicit and implicit definitions included hereinafter.

[0011] When people use instant communication services, they can usually view each session through a session list. The message previews in such a session list are limited and inefficient, making it difficult for people to timely obtain various types of messages in the instant communication session through the session list.

[0012] FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of session list presentation according to a conventional approach. As shown in FIG. 1, an electronic device 110 (e.g., a mobile terminal) may present a session aggregation interface 120 that presents a list of a plurality of current sessions of a user.

[0013] However, the form of the message previews of different sessions in such a list is single, and it simply describes various types of messages through text. Such a preview method is generally inefficient, and it is difficult for the user to determine whether it is necessary to enter the corresponding session in a timely manner to process the corresponding message.

[0014] For example, taking the session with "Friend A" as an example, this list shows in the form of text "1 picture has been sent" that one picture message has been received in this session. However, the user has to click on this session to view the picture message, increasing the user's interaction cost.

[0015] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an approach for presenting session messages. According to this approach, visualization components related to a target session are provided, and such visualization component - type components can be used to provide a rich preview for messages related to the target session. For example, such visualization components may include card - type components, tile - type components, etc. In some embodiments, such visualization components may be independently editable, for example, created, moved, deleted, etc.

[0016] Furthermore, a visualization representation corresponding to at least one message in the target session may be presented with such a visualization component, and the type of such a visualization representation is determined based on the message type of the at least one message. For example, if the message to be notified is a picture message, a visualization representation in a picture form may be presented.

[0017] As a result, embodiments of the present disclosure can efficiently present messages in a session to a user in the form of visualization components, and can provide a richer type of visual presentation as a preview of the message. In this way, the access efficiency of the user to the message can be improved, and the user's interaction cost can be reduced.

[0018] Various exemplary implementations of this approach will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Exemplary environment First, refer to FIG. 2, which schematically shows a schematic diagram of an exemplary environment 200 in which exemplary embodiments according to the present disclosure may be implemented. As shown in FIG. 2, the exemplary environment 200 may include an electronic device 210.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 2, the electronic device 210 may be, for example, a smart terminal (e.g., a smartphone) that can provide a graphical interface 220 as shown in FIG. 1. The interface 220 may be, for example, a session aggregation interface for instant communication.

[0021] The interface 220 may be provided, for example, by an instant communication application installed in the electronic device 210, or another application (hereinafter collectively referred to as the target application) that can provide an instant communication service. Such a target application can provide a user with an instant communication service with other users or groups.

[0022] In the target application, a user may, for example, create one or more sessions, and each session may correspond to a chat with different users and / or groups. For example, a session may correspond to a single chat with a specific friend, or a group chat with multiple friends.

[0023] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the electronic device 210 may provide, in the interface 220, visualization components 230-1, 230-2, and 230-3 (individually or collectively referred to as the visualization component 230) corresponding to one or more sessions of the target application.

[0024] As an example, the visualization component 230 may have a card-like form with an appropriate shape such as a square, rectangle, circle, ellipse, rounded rectangle, etc. In the examples of the present disclosure, the visualization component 230 is schematically shown as having a rounded rectangle shape, but this is not intended to be a limitation to the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the visualization component 230 may include a tile-type component having a presentation mode similar to a desktop tile component.

[0025] As will be described in detail below, such a visualization component 230 can be used to present a visual representation of messages within a session. For example, the visualization component 230 may provide a visual representation corresponding to a message type to facilitate user access to a preview regarding the messages within the session.

[0026] In some embodiments, the electronic device 210 can support a user in setting, for example, a presentation mode of the session aggregation interface, such as whether it is a card-type presentation or a list-type presentation. The user may set the session aggregation interface to a card-type presentation as shown in FIG. 2, for example, by setting a menu. Alternatively, the electronic device 210 may provide a mode switching controller for the session aggregation interface, for example, to facilitate a user to switch the mode of the session aggregation interface from a list-type display to a card-type display or from a card-type display to a list-type display in real time.

[0027] In FIG. 2, the electronic device 210 is shown as a smartphone, but it should be understood that it may be any other suitable device including, but not limited to, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a personal digital assistant, a smart wearable device, an in-vehicle device, etc.

[0028] Hereinafter, various exemplary implementations for realizing message presentation using the visualization component will be described in detail.

[0029] Exemplary layout of visualization components Before describing how to use the visualization component to present messages within a session, first, with reference to FIGS. 3A - 3C and FIGS. 4A - 4C, an exemplary layout of the visualization component in the session aggregation interface will be described.

[0030] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, visualization components 230 corresponding to different sessions may have, for example, substantially the same display modes, such as size and / or shape. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3A, in interface 310, the visualization components 230 may have, for example, different display modes.

[0031] In some embodiments, the size and / or shape of the visualization component 230 may be, for example, configurable by the user. For example, each visualization component 230 may have a plurality of predetermined sizes and / or shapes and may be correspondingly adjusted based on the user's selection.

[0032] As another example, the user may manually adjust the size and / or shape of the visualization component 230-1. For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, in interface 310, the user may, for example, expand the length of the visualization component 230-1 by an operation of dragging the edge of the visualization component 230-1.

[0033] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can facilitate arranging the display areas of the card components of different sessions, and for example, can conveniently manage the presentation priorities of different sessions. For example, the user can set a session of an important contact as a visualization component of a larger size, so that it is easier to find this contact and conveniently access the messages in the corresponding session.

[0034] In some embodiments, the display positions of the card components 230 corresponding to different sessions in the session aggregation interface may be dynamically changeable, for example, based on the time of the latest message (e.g., the latest received message or the latest sent message) in each session.

[0035] Taking FIG. 3B as an example, in interface 320, the session corresponding to "Group B" received a new message "one minute ago", which is later than the latest message (e.g., three minutes ago) in the session corresponding to "Friend A". Therefore, in interface 320, the visualization component 230-2 of the session corresponding to "Group B" may be automatically adjusted, for example, in front of the visualization component 230-1 of the session corresponding to "Friend A". "In front" in this specification is intended to indicate a position with a higher display priority, and it should be understood that, for example, different directions may be indicated by different interface display logics.

[0036] In some embodiments, the visualization component 230 may be arranged at a predetermined position within the interface based on a user operation (e.g., a gesture operation). For example, taking FIG. 3C as an example, in interface 330, the user may, for example, pin the visualization component 230-1 to a specific position within interface 330. For example, the pinned visualization component 230-1 may present a graphic or text label 325 to indicate that its position is fixed.

[0037] For example, the visualization component 230-1 may be pinned by the user to the top-left most position within interface 330, and its position will not be changed by message sending and / or message receiving within other sessions.

[0038] For example, although the time of the latest message "one minute ago" in the session corresponding to the visualization component 230-2 is later than the time of the latest message "three minutes ago" in the session corresponding to the visualization component 230-1, the visualization component 230-2 remains displayed behind the visualization component 230-1.

[0039] In some embodiments, the user may adjust the visualization component 230, for example, to an appropriate position within the session aggregation interface. FIGS. 4A-4C show schematic diagrams of layout adjustments according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0040] For example, in interface 410, the visualization component 230 may have an initial layout. Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the user may move the visualization component 230-3 from the first position in the initial layout to the second position shown in FIG. 4B, for example, by a drag-and-drop operation 425.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 4B, in interface 420, the electronic device 210 may determine that the original display position of the visualization component 230-2 is occupied and may automatically move the display position of the visualization component 230-2 backward. Further, as shown in FIG. 4C, after the visualization component 230-3 is released by the user, it may be automatically adjusted to the corresponding display position.

[0042] In this way, compared with the conventional list-type session aggregation interface, the embodiments of the present disclosure enable the user to flexibly arrange the session aggregation interface, thereby facilitating the management of the presentation priorities of different sessions.

[0043] Also, such a flexible layout method can also enable an interaction that conforms to the user's operation habits. For example, if the user is accustomed to operating objects at the lower part of the interface, sessions that are frequently used can be fixed and displayed, for example, at the lower part of the interface, so as to better conform to the user's operation habits.

[0044] Exemplary aspects of visualization components Example 1: Without session messages Figure 5A shows an exemplary visualization component 500A according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, which may correspond to a state where there is no message in this session, for example. As shown in Figure 5A, the visualization component 500A may include, for example, description information of a session related to the visualization component 500A (for example, a single chat session with "Friend A").

[0045] Such description information may include, for example, an identifier of a session participant, such as an avatar 502 of "Friend A" and an identity identifier 506 of "Friend A" (nickname and / or remarks). In the example of Figure 5A, the visualization component 500A is associated with a single chat session with "Friend A". Therefore, the identity identifier 506 may be understood as an identifier of this single chat session.

[0046] Additionally, the visualization component 500A may further present a status identifier 504 of the participant, for example, indicating whether the participant is currently online in different colors. For example, green indicates that the participant is currently online, and gray indicates that the participant is currently offline.

[0047] Also, as shown in Figure 5A, the visualization component 500A may further present the ongoing state of this session, such as "chatting continuously for 21 days", in order to indicate that this session is in a long-term active state.

[0048] In some embodiments, when there is no session message, the background of the visualization component 500A may be filled with a predetermined color. Alternatively, the filling color of the background of the visualization component 500A may be determined based on the color of the avatar of at least one participant (e.g., "Friend A") of the session. For example, the filling color of the background may be the color that appears most frequently among the avatar colors. In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can enable the background color of the visualization component 500A to be displayed in better coordination with the overall color of the avatar.

[0049] Example 2: Text symbol messages FIG. 5B and FIG. 5C show exemplary visualization components 500B and 500C for presenting text symbol messages within a session. Such text symbol messages are messages consisting of one or more characters and / or symbols. Such symbols may include, for example, emoticons, emojis, and the like.

[0050] As shown in FIG. 5B, the visualization component 500B may present descriptive information about the session associated with the visualization component 500B (e.g., a single chat session with "Friend A").

[0051] Such descriptive information may include, for example, the identification of the participants in the session, such as the avatar 510 of "Friend A" and the identification label 518 (nickname and / or remarks) of "Friend A". In the example of FIG. 5B, the visualization component 500B is associated with a single chat session with "Friend A". Therefore, the identification label 518 may be understood as the label of this single chat session.

[0052] Similarly, the visualization component 500B may further present a participant status indicator 512, which may indicate, for example, whether the participant is currently online in a different color. For example, green may indicate that the participant is currently online, and gray may indicate that the participant is currently offline. Additionally, the visualization component 500B may further include a numeric indicator 514 for indicating, for example, the number of unread messages within this session.

[0053] Additionally, the visualization component 500B may present a visual representation 516 of a text symbol message within the session. The presented text symbol message may be, for example, the most recent unread message within the session.

[0054] In some embodiments, when the length of the text symbol message is less than a threshold length such that the visualization component 500B can present it in its entirety, the visualization component 500B may present the entire content of the text symbol message as its corresponding visual representation. Additionally, the visualization component 500B may further present the reception time 520 of the message.

[0055] In some embodiments, when the length of the text symbol message reaches the threshold length, the visualization component may present only a partial content of this text symbol message as its visual representation.

[0056] For example, when the length of the received text symbol message reaches the threshold length, the visualization component may present only a partial content of this text symbol content as its visual representation, and the content not presented may be replaced, for example, with an ellipsis. As shown in FIG. 5C, in the visualization component 500C, for example, when the text symbol message is "Have you had lunch?", its visual representation 522 may present only a partial content of this text symbol message, for example, "Have you had...".

[0057] FIG. 5D further shows yet another visualization component 500D according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5D, upon receiving a text symbol message consisting of emojis, the visualization component 500D may correspondingly render the emoji as its visualization representation 524, even if the emoji may be transmitted as an emoji encoding in an actual message.

[0058] Similarly, the visualization component 500C may present the identifier of the sender of the message and the reception time of the message.

[0059] In some embodiments, when the user selects the visualization representation 516, 522, or 524 in the visualization component 500B, 500C, or 500D, the electronic device 210 may correspondingly present the session interface of the target session, and the session interface is used to present the message corresponding to the visualization representation. It should be understood that the "session interface" is used to provide an interface for functions such as message viewing and message reply in a single session.

[0060] For example, when the visualization component 500C presents only the incomplete content of the message as its visualization representation, if the user clicks on the visualization representation 522 or another position within the visualization component 500C, the electronic device 210 may present, for example, the session interface of the session to present the complete content of the message.

[0061] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can conveniently and efficiently provide a preview of the text symbol message in a specific session by the visualization component, thereby improving the user access efficiency to the text symbol message.

[0062] Example 3: Image content messages In some embodiments, the electronic device 210 may provide a visual representation of the image content messages within a session via a visualization component. An image content message, which is a message including visual image content, may include a picture message (e.g., a still image or motion graphics) and a video message.

[0063] FIG. 6A shows an exemplary visualization component 600A according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6A, the visualization component 600A may present descriptive information about a session associated with the visualization component 600A (e.g., a single chat session with "Friend A").

[0064] Such descriptive information may include, for example, an identifier of the session participants, such as an avatar 605 of "Friend A" and an identity identifier 625 of "Friend A" (nickname and / or remarks). In the example of FIG. 6A, the visualization component 600A is associated with a single chat session with "Friend A". Thus, the identity identifier 625 may be understood as an identifier of the single chat session.

[0065] Similarly, the visualization component 600A may further present a status identifier 610 of the participant, which may indicate, for example, whether the participant is currently online in a different color. For example, green indicates that the participant is currently online, and gray indicates that the participant is currently offline. Further, the visualization component 600A may further include, for example, a number identifier 615 for indicating the number of unread messages within the session.

[0066] Additionally, the visualization component 600A may present a visual representation 620 of the picture message within the session. For example, the electronic device 210 may directly fill at least a part of the background of the visualization component 600A with a picture within the picture message to form the visual representation 620 of the picture message. Such pictures within the picture message may include still images and / or motion graphics.

[0067] Additionally, the visualization component 600A may further present the reception time 630 of the message. Further, the visualization component 600A may further include, for example, an express reply entry for replying to the picture message, such as a picture or video reply controller 635. The user may, for example, select the picture or video reply controller 635 to activate the image acquisition device of the electronic device 210 and acquire a reply picture or reply video. Further, the reply picture or reply video may be automatically transmitted to the target session, for example, as a reply to the received picture message.

[0068] As another example, FIG. 6B shows an exemplary visualization component 600B according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6B, the visualization component 600A may present a visual representation 645 of the video message within the session. For example, the electronic device 210 may fill at least a part of the background of the visualization component 600B with a specific frame within the video message to form the visual representation 645 of this video message. In some embodiments, this specific frame may be, for example, the start frame, cover frame, or any other arbitrarily specified frame of the video message.

[0069] Additionally, the visualization component 600B may further provide information regarding the length of the video. In some embodiments, when the user views the visualization component 600B for the first time, the visualization component 600B may play, for example, a part or all of the video message in a muted state in the visualization component window. Alternatively, the user may trigger the muted or unmuted playback of the video message within the visualization component, for example, by clicking a play button 640 within the visualization component.

[0070] Additionally, the visualization component 600B may similarly present the identifier of the sender of the video message and the sending and / or receiving time of the video message. Further, the visualization component 600B may further include, for example, an express reply entry for replying to this voice message, such as a picture or video reply entry 650. The user may, for example, select this picture or video reply entry 650 to activate the image collection device of the electronic device 210 and acquire a reply picture or a reply video. Further, the reply picture or the reply video may be automatically transmitted to the target session, for example, as a reply to the received video message.

[0071] In some embodiments, when the user selects, for example, a visualization representation 620 within the visualization component 600A or clicks on a location other than the reply entry 635 within the visualization component 600A, the electronic device 210 may present the session interface of the target session and present the picture message. In some embodiments, the picture message may be presented in full-screen mode, for example, in the session interface of the target session.

[0072] As another example, when the user selects, for example, the visualization representation 645 within the visualization component 600B, or clicks on a position other than the playback button 640 and the reply entry 650 within the visualization component 600B, the electronic device 210 may present the session interface of the target session and present the video message.

[0073] In some embodiments, the video message may be presented in full-screen mode in the session interface of the target session and automatically played. Alternatively, the video message may be presented in non-full-screen mode in the session interface of the target session, played automatically muted, or played in response to the user's selection.

[0074] In some embodiments, when the user selects, for example, the reply entry 635 within the visualization component 600A or the reply entry 650 within the visualization component 600B, the electronic device 210 may switch the visualization component 600A or the visualization component 600B to a framed state.

[0075] Specifically, FIGS. 7A-7C show schematic diagrams of replying to a picture or a video using a visualization component. As shown in FIG. 7A, in the interface 700A, the electronic device 210 may present, for example, a visualization component 710, which may be used to present, for example, image content within a session and may include a picture or video reply entry 720.

[0076] In some embodiments, upon receiving a selection for the picture or video reply entry 720, the electronic device 210 may present an interface 700B for switching the visualization component 710 to a framed state 730.

[0077] As shown in FIG. 7B, in the framing state 730, the visualization component 710 can obtain an image or video by using an image collection device (e.g., an in-camera or an out-camera) of the electronic device 210. Additionally, the visualization component 710 in the framing state 730 may include a viewfinder 740 for controlling the shooting, pausing, or stopping of an image or video.

[0078] In some embodiments, upon receiving a selection for the picture or video reply entry 720, the electronic device 210 may present an interface 700C for switching the visualization component 710 to the framing state 750.

[0079] As shown in FIG. 7C, in the framing state 750, the visualization component 710 may be adjusted to have a larger display size to facilitate obtaining an image or video by using an image collection device (e.g., an in-camera or an out-camera) of the electronic device 210. Additionally, the visualization component 710 in the framing state 750 may include a viewfinder 760 for controlling the shooting, pausing, or stopping of an image or video.

[0080] Furthermore, after the user completes the recording of a reply picture or a reply video by using the visualization component 710 in the framing state 730 or the framing state 750, the electronic device 210 may automatically cause the reply picture or the reply video to be transmitted to the target session. In some embodiments, the reply picture or the reply video may be marked as a reply message for the selected picture message or video message in the session interface.

[0081] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can quickly provide a preview of a picture / video message using a visualization component, support quick replies to the picture / video message, thereby improving the efficiency of accessing and interacting with the message.

[0082] Example 4: Messages of specific types such as audio In some embodiments, the electronic device 210 may provide a visual representation of a specific type of message (such as a voice message) within a session via the visualization component. Such specific types of messages may include, for example, voice messages, red packet messages, location messages, conference messages, invitation messages, call request messages, or hyperlink messages.

[0083] FIG. 8A shows an exemplary visualization component 800A according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 8A, similar to the other visualization components described above, the visualization component 800A may present descriptive information of a session related to the visualization component 800A (for example, a single chat session with "Friend A").

[0084] Such descriptive information may include, for example, the identifiers of the participants in the session, such as the avatar of "Friend A" and the identity identifier of "Friend A" (nickname and / or remarks). In the example of FIG. 8A, the visualization component 800A is associated with a single chat session with "Friend A". Therefore, the identity identifier may be understood as the identifier of the single chat session.

[0085] Similarly, the visualization component 800A may further present a status identifier of the participant, which may indicate, for example, whether the participant is currently online in different colors. For example, green indicates that the participant is currently online, and gray indicates that the participant is currently offline.

[0086] Additionally, the visualization component 800A may present a visual representation 820 of the voice messages within the session in a graphical manner. For example, the visualization component 800A may indicate that a voice message has been received in the session by a graphical representation of an audio waveform.

[0087] Also, the visualization component 800A may include, for example, a playback controller 810 for playing back the voice message. For example, after receiving a selection to the playback controller 810, the electronic device 210 may directly play back the voice message without jumping to the session interface of the target session.

[0088] Additionally, as shown in FIG. 8A, the visualization component 800A may provide a voice reply entry 830 for quickly replying to the audio. The user may, for example, select this voice reply entry 830 to activate the voice collection device of the electronic device 210 to obtain a reply audio. Further, the reply audio may be automatically transmitted to the target session, for example, as a reply to the received voice message.

[0089] In some embodiments, when the user clicks, for example, on the visual representation 820 within the visualization component 800A, or clicks on a portion other than the voice reply entry 830 and the playback controller 810 within the visualization component 800A, the electronic device 210 may, for example, present the session interface of the target session to present the voice message. In some embodiments, the voice message may be automatically played back at the session interface.

[0090] FIG. 8B shows an exemplary visualization component 800B for presenting a red packet message according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 8B, the visualization component 800B may be used to present a red packet message within a target session, and at least a part of its background may be filled with a red packet pattern as a visual representation 850 of the red packet message.

[0091] Additionally, the visualization component 800B may include an interaction entry 840. When the user selects the interaction entry 840, the red packets within the red packet message may be automatically opened without jumping to the session interface of the target session. Additionally, after the red packets are opened, the visualization component 800B may display descriptive information regarding the obtained red packets, such as the amount of the red packets.

[0092] FIG. 8C shows an exemplary visualization component 800C for presenting a call request message according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Exemplarily, the visualization component 800C may present a call request message (e.g., a voice call request or a video call request) within a target session. As shown in FIG. 8C, the visualization component 800C may include a static or dynamic graphical representation 860 corresponding to the call request message as a visual representation 860 of the call request message.

[0093] Additionally, the visualization component 800C may further include a response entry 870. When the user selects the response entry 870, the user can automatically answer a voice call or a video call without jumping to the session interface of the target session. Alternatively, without jumping to the session interface of the target session, the user may click on the visual representation 860 to answer a voice call or a video call.

[0094] Additionally, taking a video call as an example, after the video call is established, the visualization component 800C may further be used to present the video of at least one participant in the video call.

[0095] As described above, exemplary aspects of the visualization component have been described with reference to voice messages, red packet messages, and call request messages. It should be understood that embodiments of the present disclosure also support presenting visual representations of other specific types of messages using the visualization component.

[0096] For example, for a location message received in a session, the electronic device 210 may present a graphical location representation in the form of a map to the visualization component or provide a text representation, such as "Location has been sent".

[0097] For example, for a meeting message received in a session, the electronic device 210 may present a graphical symbol of the meeting to the visualization component or provide a text representation, such as "Meeting message has been sent".

[0098] For example, for a meeting message received in a session, the electronic device 210 may present a graphical symbol of the file (e.g., presented based on the file format) to the visualization component or provide a text representation, such as "File has been sent".

[0099] For example, for an invitation message (e.g., group invitation) received in a session, the electronic device 210 may present a graphical symbol corresponding to the invitation message (e.g., the avatar of the group being invited) to the visualization component or provide a text representation, such as "Group invitation has been sent".

[0100] For example, for a hyperlink message received in a session, the electronic device 210 may present the quick preview content of the link to the visualization component or provide a text representation, such as "hyperlink sent".

[0101] When presenting a visual representation of these specific types of messages using the visualization component, such a visual representation can further support, for example, corresponding management interaction operations. For example, operations such as playing an audio message, opening a red packet, previewing a file, and participating in a meeting.

[0102] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can conveniently and efficiently provide previews for various specific types of messages in a specific session through the visualization component, thereby improving the user's access efficiency to the messages.

[0103] Other examples As described above, various examples of quickly presenting related messages using the visualization component have been described with reference to text symbol messages, picture video messages, and other specific types of messages such as audio. In addition, examples related to the image video reply entry and the audio reply entry have also been described in conjunction with the picture video message and the audio message above.

[0104] It should be understood that the above express reply entry is also applicable to any other appropriate type of message. In some embodiments, the electronic device 210 may provide a stamp reply entry using a visualization component, and this stamp reply entry may provide, for example, a group of candidate stamps for selection. The user can complete a quick stamp reply to the message by, for example, clicking on any candidate stamp. For example, the stamp may be sent to the session as an independent message, or may be presented in relation to the message in the session interface as a quick reply to a specific message, for example, shown as a "like" to a certain message.

[0105] According to the various examples described above, embodiments of the present disclosure can determine the representation type (e.g., text representation, graphical representation, or video representation, etc.) of the visual representation of the message in the visualization component based on the message type of the message received in the session (e.g., a specific type of message such as a text symbol message, a picture video message, or audio, etc.).

[0106] Additionally or alternatively, the filling mode of the background of the visualization component may be determined based on attributes related to the target session. For example, when there is no message in the session and there is a text symbol message, etc., the filling color of the background of the visualization component may be determined based on, for example, the avatar of the participant related to the target session (e.g., the avatar of a friend), or the image label of the target session (e.g., the avatar of a group chat).

[0107] In some embodiments, the filling mode of the background of the visualization component may be determined based on attributes related to the visualization representation. For example, when the visualization representation includes graphical information, the filling color of the background of the visualization component may be determined based on the color of the graphical information. For example, when the visualization representation includes an emoji, the background of the visualization component may be filled with a color that is close to the color scheme of the emoji but has a different saturation, thereby forming a more overall color display style.

[0108] Also, as described with reference to each example above, it can be seen that in the visualization component, the display mode and / or display position of the description information of the target session (for example, the nickname, avatar, status label, etc. of a friend) may be determined based on the representation type of the presented visualization representation. For example, when presenting image content as the visualization representation, the specific content and / or presentation mode of the presented description information may be different from when presenting text symbol content as the visualization representation.

[0109] As a result, the embodiments of the present disclosure can provide a richer type of message preview and improve the user's access efficiency to the message.

[0110] Also, the examples described above explained the logic of the visualization component presenting messages with reference to the single chat scenario. It should be understood that the visualization component may also use a similar presentation logic to present messages in a group chat session. In contrast to presenting messages in a single chat session, the visualization component corresponding to a group chat session may be presented in association with the identifier (for example, nickname or avatar) of the speaker of the corresponding message, so that the user can intuitively and conveniently understand which user in the group chat sent the message.

[0111] Presentation of multiple messages Example 1 In some embodiments, embodiments of the present disclosure can also provide the display and switching presentation of multiple unread messages by using visualization components.

[0112] FIG. 9A shows an exemplary visualization component 900A according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 9A, the visualization component 900 may present descriptive information about a session associated with the visualization component 900 (e.g., a single chat session with "Friend A").

[0113] Such descriptive information may include, for example, the identifiers of the participants in the session, such as the avatar 910 of "Friend A" and the identity identifier 950 (nickname and / or remarks) of "Friend A".

[0114] Similarly, the visualization component 900 may further present the status identifier 920 of the participant. For example, it may indicate whether the participant is currently online in different colors. For example, green may indicate that the participant is currently online, and gray may indicate that the participant is currently offline. Additionally, the visualization component 900 may further include a number identifier 930 for indicating, for example, the number of unread messages in the session.

[0115] The visualization component 900 may present a visual representation 940 of the latest unread message (e.g., "Have you eaten?") in the session with "Friend A", for example. Additionally, the visualization component 900A may further present the reception time 960 of the message (e.g., "3 minutes ago").

[0116] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9B, when receiving a predetermined operation 970 (e.g., a swipe-down operation) on the visualization component 900, the visualization component 900 may be switched to display a visual representation 980 of another unread message as shown in FIG. 9C.

[0117] Also, as shown in FIG. 9C, the visualization component 900 may further present the transmission / reception time 990 of another unread message thereof.

[0118] Furthermore, when the user clicks on the visualization representation 980, the electronic device 210 may present the session interface of the target session and highlight the message corresponding to the selected visualization representation 980 in the session interface or adjust it to an appropriate display position.

[0119] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure use the visualization component to realize the aggregated presentation of multiple messages and can quickly preview multiple unread messages through an appropriate swipe interaction, so that the efficiency of message interaction can be improved.

[0120] Example 2 In some embodiments, the embodiments of the present disclosure can also use the visualization component to provide a switched presentation of multiple messages within a target session.

[0121] In some embodiments, the visualization component may be further used to provide a visualization representation of the messages within the session sent by the current user. FIGS. 10A-10C show exemplary visualization components according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0122] As shown in FIG. 10A, the visualization component 1000A may present the description information of the session associated with the visualization component 1000A (for example, a single chat session with "Friend A").

[0123] Such description information may include, for example, the identifier of the session participant, for example, the avatar 1010 of "Friend A" and the identity identifier 1016 of "Friend A" (nickname and / or remarks).

[0124] Similarly, the visualization component 1000A may further present a participant status indicator 1012, which may indicate, for example, whether the participant is currently online in a different color. For example, green may indicate that the participant is currently online, and gray may indicate that the participant is currently offline.

[0125] If the latest message in the session is the user's latest sent message, the visualization component 1000A may present, for example, a visual representation 1014 of the latest sent message (e.g., the text "ate") in the session with "Friend A". Additionally, the visualization component 1000A may further present the sending time 1018 of the message (e.g., "8 minutes ago").

[0126] Additionally, the visualization component 1000A may further include a sending indicator to indicate that the visual representation 1014 corresponds to the most recent sent message of the current user. For example, the sending indicator may include a status indicator 1020 to indicate the message status of this most recent sent message. The status indicator 1020 may indicate, for example, the sending status of the most recent sent message (e.g., whether it was sent successfully) or the read status of the most recent sent message (e.g., whether it has been read or the number of people who have read it).

[0127] It should be understood that in the example of FIG. 10A, the status indicator 1020 is shown in text form, but it may also be represented in graphic or other appropriate forms.

[0128] FIG. 10B shows an exemplary visualization component 1000B according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 10B, the visualization component 1000B may present messages related to the group chat session "Group B".

[0129] For example, the visualization component 1000B may present the description information of the group chat session, such as the avatar 1022 of the group chat session and the session identifier 1026 of the group chat session (e.g., "Group B").

[0130] Additionally, when the latest message in the session is the user's latest sent message, the visualization component 1000B may present, for example, a visual representation 1024 of the latest sent message (e.g., the text "Understood") in the group chat session "Group B". In some embodiments, different from the visual representation of a single chat, the visual representation 1024 may additionally present, for example, the nickname of the sender (e.g., the current user) or the text "Me". Further, the visualization component 1000B may further present the sending time 1028 of the message (e.g., "8 minutes ago").

[0131] Additionally, the visualization component 1000B may include a sending identifier for indicating that the visual representation 1024 corresponds to the latest sent message of the current user. For example, the sending identifier may include a status identifier 1030 for indicating the message status of this latest sent message. The status identifier 1030 may indicate, for example, the sending status of the latest sent message (e.g., whether it was sent successfully) or the read status of the latest sent message (e.g., read or the number of read people).

[0132] FIG. 10C shows an exemplary visualization component 1000C according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 10C, the visualization component 1000C may present messages related to a single chat session with "Friend A".

[0133] For example, the visualization component 1000C may present the description information of the group chat session, such as the avatar and nickname of "Friend A". Additionally, if the latest message in the session is the user's latest sent message, the visualization component 1000B may present, for example, a visual representation 1032 of the latest sent message (such as a picture message) in the group chat session "Group B". Further, the visualization component 1000C may further present the sending time of the message (such as "3 minutes ago").

[0134] Additionally, the visualization component 1000C may include a sending label for indicating that the visual representation 1032 corresponds to the latest sent message of the current user. For example, the sending label may include a status label 1034 for indicating the message status of this latest sent message. The status label 1034 may indicate, for example, the sending status of the latest sent message (such as whether it was sent successfully) or the read status of the latest sent message (such as whether it has been read or the number of people who have read it).

[0135] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure support the user to view the messages sent in the current session, and can also distinguish whether the visual representation of the received message or the visual representation of the sent message is currently being presented by means of the sending label.

[0136] In some embodiments, the embodiments of the present disclosure can also support using the visualization component to view different messages in the session.

[0137] FIG. 11A shows an exemplary visualization component 1100A according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 11A, the visualization component 1100 may present the description information of the session related to the visualization component 1100 (such as a single chat session with "Friend A").

[0138] Such descriptive information may include, for example, the identifiers of the session participants, such as the avatar 1100 of "Friend A" and the identity identifier 1140 (nickname and / or remarks) of "Friend A".

[0139] Similarly, the visualization component 1100 may further present the status identifier 1120 of the participant, and this identifier may indicate, for example, whether the participant is currently online in different colors. For example, green indicates that the participant is currently online, and gray indicates that the participant is currently offline.

[0140] The visualization component 1100 may present, for example, a visual representation 1130 of the latest sent message (such as the text "ate") in the session with "Friend A". Additionally, the visualization component 900A may further present the reception time 1150 of the message (such as "3 minutes ago").

[0141] Also, the visualization component 1100 may further present a status identifier 1160 to indicate that the currently presented visual representation 1130 corresponds to a sent message within the session.

[0142] Furthermore, when receiving a predetermined operation 1170 (such as a swipe-down operation) on the visualization component 1100 as shown in FIG. 11B, the visualization component 1100 may be switched to display a visual representation 1180 of another message within the session as shown in FIG. 11C.

[0143] Also, as shown in FIG. 11C, the visualization component 1100 may further present the transmission / reception time 1190 of this another message. In some embodiments, the switched another message may be a message that is sequentially adjacent to the previous message (such as the text "have you eaten"), for example, the previously sent / received message immediately before this message.

[0144] Further, when the user clicks on the visualization representation 1180, the electronic device 210 may present the session interface of the target session, and highlight a message corresponding to the selected visualization representation 1180 on the session interface, or adjust it to an appropriate display position.

[0145] In some embodiments, the user may further view a message before the text message "Have you eaten?" shown in FIG. 11C by a swipe operation (e.g., swiping down), or return to view the text message "Eaten" shown in FIG. 11A by a swipe operation (e.g., swiping up).

[0146] In some embodiments, the switching between different messages discussed above may be performed in response to the user triggering a predetermined switching controller related to the visualization component.

[0147] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure use visualization components to realize the aggregated presentation of multiple messages, and can quickly view past messages in the session by appropriate swipe interactions, thus improving the efficiency of message interactions.

[0148] Presentation of work content In some embodiments, the visualization component may further be used to present the work content of at least one participant in the session.

[0149] FIGS. 12A to 12C show exemplary visualization components according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 12A, the visualization component 1200A may correspond to a session with "Friend A".

[0150] In some embodiments, when it is determined that "Friend A" has posted work content, the visualization component 1200A may be changed to a visualization representation 1215 that presents the work content shown in FIG. 12A.

[0151] Taking FIG. 12A as an example, similar to the visualization representation for presenting a message, the visualization component 1200A may include, for example, the avatar 1205 and nickname 1225 of "Friend A". Also, the component 1200A may similarly include a status label 1210 of "Friend A", for example, indicating whether "Friend A" is currently online in a different color.

[0152] As shown in FIG. 12A, when it is determined that "Friend A" has posted work content (e.g., a picture message), similar to providing a visualization representation of the picture message within the session, the visualization component 1200A may, for example, as the visualization representation 1215 of the work content, fill at least a part of the background of the visualization component 1200A with a picture within the work content.

[0153] It should be understood that the "work content" here may include content that is posted by participants within the target session and is to be viewed and / or accessed by other users. Such content may include, for example, text content, picture content, video content, audio content, and / or any combination thereof.

[0154] Additionally, as shown in FIG. 12A, the visualization component 1200A may further present the time 1230 when "Friend A" posted the work content.

[0155] In some embodiments, to distinguish the visualization representations of messages within the session, the visualization component 1200A may further include an indication 1220 for indicating that the current visualization representation 1215 corresponds to work content.

[0156] In some embodiments, the instruction 1220 is, for example, user-interactive. For example, the user may trigger a specific operation on the posted work content, such as "like", "favorite", "retweet", etc., by clicking on the instruction 1220.

[0157] Similar to the method of presenting different types of messages within the session discussed above, it should be understood that the electronic device 210 may also determine a visual representation of the work content presented in the visualization component based on the type of the work content.

[0158] FIG. 12B shows a visualization component 1200B for presenting work content in video format. As shown in FIG. 12B, similar to the visualization component 1200A, the electronic device 210 may fill the visualization component 1200B with a specific frame in the video related to the work content as the visual representation 1235. In some embodiments, the specific frame may be, for example, the start frame, the cover frame, or any other arbitrarily designated frame of the video related to the work content.

[0159] In some embodiments, similar to the instruction 1220, the visualization component 1200B may further include an instruction 1240 for indicating that the current visual representation 1235 corresponds to the work content, as shown in FIG. 12B.

[0160] Additionally, the visualization component 1200B may further include a playback controller 1245 that can be used to control the playback of the video content in the visualization component 1200B without jumping to the browsing interface of the corresponding work content. Additionally, as shown in FIG. 12B, the visualization component 1200B may further include duration information 1250 of this video content.

[0161] FIG. 12C shows a visualization component 1200C for presenting work content. As shown in FIG. 12C, the presented work content may include, for example, picture content or may also include text content. Correspondingly, the electronic device 210 may, for example, fill at least a part 1255 of the background of the visualization component 1200C with a picture related to the work content and present all or part 1265 of this text content.

[0162] In some embodiments, the logic for presenting text content is similar to the presentation of text symbol messages in the session described above, that is, based on whether the length of the text content reaches a threshold length, it may be determined whether to present all of the text content or a part of it.

[0163] Similarly, the visualization component 1200C may further include an indication 1260 for indicating that the current visualization representation (at least a part 1255 of the presented background and all or part 1265 of the text content) corresponds to the work content.

[0164] In some embodiments, for the visualization component, the electronic device 210 presents the visualization representation of the obtained participant's work content only when it is determined that there are no unread messages in the target session corresponding to the visualization component.

[0165] In other words, if there are unread messages in the target session, the corresponding visualization component may always be used to present the visualization representation of the unread messages regardless of whether the participant has submitted work content. If the user further browses the unread messages and later the participant submits work content again, the visualization component may be switched to present the visualization representation of this work content.

[0166] In some embodiments, when the user selects the visualization content within the visualization component 1200A, card 1200B, or card 1200C, or performs a predetermined operation (e.g., clicking on a specific location) on the visualization component 1200A, card 1200B, or card 1200C, the electronic device 210 may correspondingly present a browsing interface for the corresponding work content accordingly.

[0167] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can also reuse the visualization component to present the work content of the participants within the session, and can further assist in improving the user's access efficiency to the messages.

[0168] Provision of widgets In some embodiments, the electronic device 210 may further correspondingly present the content corresponding to the visualization component by using a widget. FIG. 13 shows a schematic diagram 1300 of presenting messages within a session by using a widget.

[0169] As shown in FIG. 13, the electronic device 210 may further provide widgets 1320-1, 1320-2, and 1320-3 (collectively referred to as widget 1320 individually or uniformly) corresponding to the session within the target application in the interface 1310 (e.g., the system desktop). The widget, also called a widget, is various types of plug-ins or components provided on a specific page (e.g., the system desktop).

[0170] In some embodiments, the user creates the widget 210 through the operating system entry of the electronic device 210. For example, the user may enter a widget placement interface for adding a widget by long-pressing the system desktop.

[0171] Exemplarily, in the widget placement interface, the user can view widgets supported by various system applications and / or user applications of the electronic device 210. Further, the electronic device 210 may receive a request from the user to create a widget via the widget placement interface, and for example, add a widget corresponding to the target application to the system desktop.

[0172] In some embodiments, the widget placement interface may provide a session selection entry to the user, for example, such that the user can place a session related to the current widget. In some embodiments, the user may create a widget 1320 via the session interface of the target application.

[0173] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 13, the content presented in the widget 1320 may correspond to the content presented in the visualization component 230. For example, the widget 1320 may have a shape similar to that of the visualization component 230, and its dimensions may be appropriately enlarged or reduced, for example, according to the display on the interface 1310.

[0174] Additionally, the content presented in the widget 1320 may be updated, for example, together with the visualization component 230. In some embodiments, the visualization component 230 and the widget 1320 may be updated individually, but the corresponding display content is always maintained. Alternatively, the update of the content in the visualization component 230 and the widget 1320 may always depend on the other. For example, the update of the visualization component 230 may be used to trigger the corresponding update of the corresponding widget 1320.

[0175] In some embodiments, the widget 1320 may have the same interaction logic as, for example, the corresponding visualization component 230. For example, a selection to the widget 1320 may trigger the electronic device 210 to present a session interface corresponding to the target session. Other interaction mechanisms can refer to the content described above for the visualization component 230, and the description here will not be repeated.

[0176] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can also conveniently provide a visual representation of the messages received in the session by using a widget, so that it becomes easier for the user to more quickly and intuitively access the message content within the session.

[0177] Exemplary process FIG. 14 shows a flowchart of an exemplary process 1400 for presenting session messages according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The process 1400 may be independently implemented by the electronic device 210 in FIG. 2, or may be implemented by a combination of the electronic device 210 and other computing devices. For ease of discussion, the process 1400 will be described in conjunction with FIG. 2.

[0178] As shown in FIG. 14, in block 1410, the electronic device 210 obtains at least one message within the target session.

[0179] In block 1420, the electronic device 210 presents a target component corresponding to the target session in the session aggregation interface, the target component is used to present the description information of the target session and the visual representation of at least one message, the representation type of the visual representation is determined based on the message type of at least one message, and the session aggregation interface is used to present at least one visualization component including the target component.

[0180] In some embodiments, the method further includes presenting a session interface of the target session in response to receiving a first predetermined operation on the target component, where the session interface is used to present at least one message.

[0181] In some embodiments, the first predetermined operation includes a selection to a visualization representation.
