[0014] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application clearer and easier to understand, the examples of the present application will be described in more detail below in conjunction with drawings and specific embodiments. It can be understood that the specific examples described here are merely for the purpose of interpreting the present application and do not limit the present application. In addition, for the convenience of explanation, it should be noted that the drawings show only parts related to the present application and do not show all structures.

[0015] Currently, some instant communication IM software provides a multi-selection function for messages to facilitate user operation. However, when users need to select a large number of messages, they must select them one by one, which consumes a lot of time and effort, reduces work efficiency, and affects the user experience.

[0016] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a message selection method, in a session interface, in response to a user's trigger operation, entering a message multiple selection mode, in which a first control for selecting multiple messages is displayed in a message window, in which a user can adjust the position of the first control in the message according to his / her needs, and in response to the user's position change operation on the first control, determine a target position of the first control in the message in the message window, in response to the user's trigger operation on the first control, multiple messages below the target position can be selected at one time.

[0017] For ease of understanding, the message selection method provided in the embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] Referring to FIG. 1, it is a flowchart of a message selection method provided by an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in FIG. 1, the method may include S101 to S103.

[0019] S101: In response to a user-triggered operation for entering a message multiple selection mode, a first control is displayed in a message window.

[0020] In this embodiment, when a user needs to select multiple messages in a session, the user can enter the multiple message selection mode through a preset trigger operation. After entering the multiple message selection mode, a first control for selecting multiple messages is displayed in the message window. The number of multiple messages selectable by the first control may be preset. For example, if it is predefined that the first control can select 100 messages, the first control can select 100 messages at one time. Specifically, the user can enter the multiple message selection mode through a trigger in the following manner.

[0021] In one example, in response to a user's trigger operation on a first message in a message window, a third control is displayed, and in response to a user's trigger operation on the third control, the first control is displayed in the message window. The first message may be one of a plurality of messages that the user needs to select. For example, as shown in FIG. 2a, a user selects a message to be selected in a session interface, and right-clicks to display controls such as a multiple selection mode control 201 (third control), a copy control 202, etc. The user clicks the multiple selection mode control 201 to enter a message multiple selection mode, and in the message multiple selection mode, a message multiple selection control 203 (first control) and a plurality of checkboxes 204 are displayed. The dotted line in FIG. 2a is used to indicate the position of the multiple selection control 203.

[0022] In another example, the message multi-selection mode is entered in response to the user selecting multiple messages in a box on the session page. That is, the session application automatically enters the message multi-selection mode when it detects that the user has selected multiple messages in a box on the session page. For example, as shown in FIG. 2b, the user scrolls the mouse to select multiple messages in a box on the session page, and upon identifying that the user has selected multiple messages in the box, the multi-selection mode is automatically entered and displays a message multi-selection control 203 (first control) and multiple checkboxes 204 in the multi-selection mode.

[0023] In some application scenarios, when the number of messages included in the session page is small or the length of the messages is short, the user can manually select the messages without triggering to enter the message multiple selection mode, which simplifies the user's operation. In one example, in response to the user's trigger operation, if the number of messages in the session record is equal to or greater than the number of messages in the preset lower limit number, the message multiple selection mode is entered and the first control is displayed in the message window. The preset lower limit number can be set according to the actual situation. For example, if the preset lower limit number is 5 and the number of messages included in the session record is equal to or greater than 5, the message multiple selection mode is entered and the first control is displayed in the message window in response to the user's trigger operation, and if the number of messages included in the session record is less than 5, the user can manually select the messages without entering the message multiple selection mode. In another example, in response to the user's trigger operation, if the number of messages in the session record is less than the number of messages in the preset lower limit number and the length of the messages in the message window is equal to or greater than the preset length, the message multiple selection mode is entered and the first control is displayed in the message window. That is, even if the number of messages in the session record is less than the preset lower limit, if the length of the messages in the session record is equal to or greater than the preset length, the user needs to select multiple messages and must trigger a page scroll operation, in which case, in response to the user's trigger operation, the multi-message selection mode is entered and the first control is displayed in the message window. The message length can be set according to the actual application situation, for example, when the length of all messages in the session page exceeds the display screen, in response to the user's trigger operation, the multi-message selection mode is entered and the first control is displayed in the message window.

[0024] S102: In response to a user's position change operation on the first control, a target position of the first control in the message within the message window is determined.

[0025] In the message multiple selection mode, the user can adjust the position of the first control in the message in the message window according to his / her needs. In one example, the user freely drags the first control to move the first control to the position of the message to be selected, and after the user stops the drag operation, the final drag position is determined as the target position of the first control in the message in the message window. That is, by adjusting the position of the first control, the user can select multiple messages required by the user, improving the user's usage experience. For example, as shown in FIG. 2c, the user drags the first control from the first position to the second position, and after dragging the first control to the second position and stopping the drag, the second position is determined as the target position of the first control in the message in the message window. In another example, in response to the user's scroll operation on the message content in the message window, the position of the first control in the message window is not changed, and the message content shown in the message window is determined based on the scroll operation. For example, as shown in FIG. 2d, the position of the first control is not changed, and the user scrolls the message content in the message window to change the message content shown in the message window.

[0026] S103: In response to a user's trigger operation on the first control, a message below the target position is selected.

[0027] After the first control is dragged to the target position, multiple messages below the target position are selected in response to a user's trigger operation on the first control. The number of messages below the target position to be selected can be set according to actual needs. In one example, every message below the target position can be selected. That is, there is no upper limit to the number of selected messages, and each message below the target position is selected. In another example, a preset upper limit number of messages below the target position is selected, and the preset upper limit number refers to the maximum number of selectable messages. That is, messages up to the preset upper limit number can be selected by triggering the first control. If the number of messages below the target position is less than the preset upper limit number, every message below the target position is selected by triggering the first control. If the number of messages below the target position is equal to or greater than the preset upper limit number, the first control is triggered to sequentially select the preset upper limit number of messages below the target position. For example, if the preset upper limit number is 100 and the number of messages below the target position is 150, 100 messages are selected from top to bottom from the target position by triggering the first control.

[0028] Preferably, in order to improve the user experience and facilitate the user to check the maximum number of selectable messages in the first control, if the number of messages below the target position is less than a preset upper limit number, the preset upper limit number can be displayed in the first control.

[0029] As is apparent from the above description, after detecting a user's trigger operation and detecting the user's triggered operation of entering the message multiple selection mode, enter the message multiple selection mode and display a first control in the message window. The first control is used to select multiple messages. In response to the user's position change operation on the first control, a target position of the first control in the message in the message window is determined. After detecting the user's trigger operation on the first control, a message below the target position is selected. That is, the user can adjust the target position of the first control in the message according to his / her needs, and further trigger the first control to select multiple messages below the target position. As is apparent, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application can not only assist the user to automatically select multiple messages, but also select a message at a predetermined position according to the user's needs, thereby improving the user's usage experience.

[0030] In one application scenario, in order to facilitate a user to intuitively check the number of selected messages, the number of selected messages is displayed on the first control in response to a user's trigger operation on the first control. For example, as shown in FIG. 2e, in response to a user's trigger operation on the message multiple selection control, a selected number of 50 / 100 is displayed, in which 50 represents the current number of selected messages and 100 is a preset upper limit number.

[0031] In some application scenarios, when the messages selected by the first control include some messages that do not need to be selected, the messages can be deselected, and the number of selected messages displayed in the first control is updated in real time in response to a user's deselection operation for some of the selected messages.

[0032] In some application scenarios, in order to select a certain type of message according to the user's needs and improve the user's usage experience, the second control is displayed in response to the user's triggered operation of entering the message screening mode, and the corresponding message of the target type below the target position is selected in response to the user's selection operation for the target type in the second control. The second control is used to select different types of messages, and the different types of messages may include videos, photos, files, schedule cards, etc. The layout of the second control can be set according to actual needs, for example, the second control can be displayed in the message window as an independent control, and as shown in FIG. 3a, the message multiple selection control 203 (first control) and the message type selection control 205 (second control) are respectively displayed in the message window as independent controls. Or the second control can be disposed in the first control and displayed in the form of a pull-down menu. As shown in FIG. 3b, the user triggers the first control 203 to display the pull-down menu, and selects the required target type through the pull-down menu 205.

[0033] In some application scenarios, after selecting multiple messages by the first control, a fourth control can be displayed, and in response to a user's trigger operation on the fourth control, a jump to the position of the last selected message is performed. That is, the user can directly jump to the position of the last selected message by triggering the fourth control, so that the user can intuitively check the last selected message. For example, as shown in FIG. 3c, after selecting multiple messages, a positioning control 206 (fourth control) is displayed, and in response to a user's trigger operation on the positioning control 206, a jump to the position of the last message of the selected multiple messages is performed.

[0034] In some application scenarios, after entering the message multiple selection mode, a prompt message can be further displayed in the message window to prompt the user to select multiple messages with the target key, so that the user can quickly select multiple messages with the target key. For example, as shown in Fig. 3d, after entering the message multiple selection mode, a prompt message 207 is displayed in the message window, which prompts the user to press shift to select multiple messages.

[0035] Based on the above method embodiment, an embodiment of the present application provides a message selection device, which will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] In a specific implementation, the display unit 401 is further used for displaying the number of selected messages on the first control.

[0049] In a specific implementation, the apparatus further includes an update unit.

[0050] The update unit is used for updating the number of selected messages displayed in the first control in real time in response to a user's deselection operation on some of the selected messages.
