[0013] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present disclosure more clearly understood, the present disclosure will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless contradictory, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be combined with each other.

[0014] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present disclosure; however, the present disclosure may be practiced in ways not described herein. Obviously, the examples in the specification are only some examples of the present disclosure, but not all examples.

[0015] The technical solution of the present disclosure can be applied to a terminal device, where the terminal device may be a computer, a tablet, a mobile phone, or other smart electronic device. The terminal device has a display screen, where the display screen may be a touch screen or a non-touch screen. For a terminal device with a touch screen, a user can realize an interaction operation with the terminal device by gestures, fingers, or a touch tool (e.g., a touch pen). For a terminal device without a touch screen, a user can realize an interaction operation with the terminal device by an external device (e.g., a mouse or a keyboard).

[0016] As mentioned above, the content that can be presented in the input box of IM software is limited, making it inconvenient for users to edit the content they input.

[0017] In view of the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides a content input method, device, equipment and medium for instant messaging software, so that users can conveniently edit the content they input.

[0018] 1A is a schematic diagram of some embodiments of an input box according to the present disclosure, and FIG. 1B is a schematic diagram of some embodiments of another input box according to the present disclosure. A user can select a message recipient in an IM client and establish a session with the recipient. As shown in FIG. 1A, an input box is displayed in the session display interface of the IM software. The user can enter content into the input box of the session interface and, after completing the content entry, trigger a message sending operation to send the input content in the input box of the session interface to the recipient, thereby realizing message sending. As shown in FIG. 1A, the input box of the session display interface can be set small to avoid obscuring the content of the received message, but when a user enters a large amount of content, it is inconvenient to check and edit the input content in the input box of the session interface.

[0019] To solve this problem, a switch control can be set in the input box of the session interface, and by triggering the switch control, the rich text input box can be switched to a rich text input box. The rich text input box can be set large enough to cover the session display interface, as shown in Figure 1B. In this way, when a user inputs a large amount of content, the rich text input box is convenient for checking and editing the input content. As shown in Figure 1B, a switch control can also be set in the rich text input box, and by triggering the switch control, the rich text input box can be switched back to the input box of the session interface shown in Figure 1A.

[0020] To sum up, by triggering the switching control, the input box of the session interface can be switched to a rich text input box, and the rich text input box can also be switched to an input box of the session interface. The size of the rich text input box and the size of the input box of the session interface are different, for example, the size of the rich text input box is relatively large and the size of the input box of the session interface is relatively small, so that switching between a large input box and a small input box can be realized. In this way, user needs for input boxes of different sizes in different scenarios can be met.

[0021] In the technical solution of the present disclosure, the first input box is an input box of a session interface, and the corresponding second input box is a rich text input box, or the first input box is a rich text input box, and the corresponding second input box is an input box of a session interface.

[0022] 1, 4, 5, 7, 9, and 12 in this disclosure are merely schematic diagrams of some examples of input boxes in an interface, and are not intended to limit the location of the input boxes in the interface or their proportion to the overall interface.

[0023] In the technical solution disclosed herein, the instant messaging software includes a first input box and a second input box, and the first input box and the second input box are switched between by a switching control. The sizes of the first input box and the second input box are different, thereby realizing switching between a large input box and a small input box. By receiving a target input content to be input into the first input box, the target input content is displayed in the first input box. In response to a trigger on the switching control, the software switches to the second input box and displays the target input content in the second input box. By synchronizing the input content displayed in the large input box and the input content displayed in the small input box, the content to be input into the small input box can be displayed in the large input box, which is convenient for the user to edit the content to be input.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present disclosure will be described below in examples.

[0025] FIG. 2 is a flowchart of several embodiments of a content input method for instant messaging software according to the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 2, specifically including:

[0026] S101: receiving a target input content to be input into the first input box, and displaying the target input content in the first input box;

[0027] The IM software includes a first input box and a second input box, which are switched by a switching control, and the first input box and the second input box have different sizes.

[0028] Illustratively, the first input box is an input box in the session interface shown in FIG. 1A, and the corresponding second input box is a rich text input box shown in FIG. 1B, or the first input box is a rich text input box shown in FIG. 1B, and the corresponding second input box is an input box in the session interface shown in FIG. 1A. When the first input box is an input box in the session interface shown in FIG. 1A, by triggering a switch control in the first input box, the first input box can be switched to the rich text input box, i.e., the second input box, shown in FIG. 1B, and the small input box can be switched to the large input box. When the first input box is a rich text input box shown in FIG. 1B, by triggering a switch control in the first input box, the first input box can be switched to the input box in the session interface shown in FIG. 1A, i.e., the second input box, and the large input box can be switched to the small input box.

[0029] For example, as shown in Fig. 1A, when the first input box is a session interface input box and the target input content input by the user into the first input box is "I am Chinese", "I am Chinese" is displayed in the first input box as shown in Fig. 1A. Also, for example, as shown in Fig. 1B, when the first input box is a rich text input box and the target input content input by the user into the first input box is "I am Chinese", "I am Chinese" is displayed in the first input box.

[0030] S103, in response to a trigger on the switching control, displaying the target input content in the second input box.

[0031] For example, the first input box is the input box of the session interface shown in FIG. 1A. As shown in FIG. 1A, the first input box displays "I am Chinese." When it is necessary to switch to the second input box, the user selects to trigger the switching control in the first input box. In response to the triggering of the switching control, the user switches to the second input box. As shown in FIG. 1B, the second input box also displays the target input content of "I am Chinese." The target input content in the small input box can be synchronously displayed in the large input box.

[0032] For example, the first input box is a rich text input box as shown in FIG. 1B, and as shown in FIG. 1B, the first input box displays "I am Chinese". When it is necessary to switch to the second input box, the user selects to trigger the switching control in the first input box, and in response to the triggering of the switching control, the user switches to the second input box, and as shown in FIG. 1A, the second input box also displays the target input content "I am Chinese". The target input content in the larger input box can be synchronously displayed in the smaller input box.

[0033] In this embodiment, the instant messaging software includes a first input box and a second input box, and the first input box and the second input box are switched by a switching control. The first input box and the second input box have different sizes, so that switching between a large input box and a small input box can be realized. When a target input content to be input into the first input box is received, the target input content is displayed in the first input box. In response to a trigger on the switching control, the software switches to the second input box and displays the target input content in the second input box. This synchronizes the input content displayed in the large input box and the input content displayed in the small input box, so that the content to be input into the small input box is displayed in the large input box, which is convenient for the user to edit the content to be input.

[0034] FIG. 3 is a flowchart of several embodiments of another instant messaging software content input method according to the present disclosure, which, based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, further includes:

[0035] S105, in response to a trigger for a target edit control, process the target input content in the first input box or the second input box according to a target edit method corresponding to the target edit control.

[0036] The target edit control may be one of a bold edit control, an underline edit control, a strikethrough edit control, an italic edit control, a hyperlink edit control, an ordered list edit control, an unordered list edit control, and a quote edit control, and accordingly, the target edit manner may be one of bold, add underline, add strikethrough, italic, add hyperlink, arrange in the manner of an ordered list, arrange in the manner of an unordered list, and quote. In other embodiments, the target edit control may be another edit control such as a font color edit control or a font type edit control, and this embodiment is not specifically limited thereto.

[0037] In actual applications, a user can select one from multiple content editing controls presented in an IM client according to his or her actual needs, and the content editing control selected by the user is the target editing control. For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, when a user needs to present the target input content in an underline presentation style, the underline editing control can be selected and triggered as the target editing control.

[0038] After the user receives a trigger for the target edit control, in response to the trigger operation, for example, as shown in FIG. 4B, the target edit control is an underline edit control, and in response to the trigger for the underline edit control, an underline is added to the target input content in the target input box, thereby presenting the target input content in an underline presentation style.

[0039] In other embodiments, when the target edit control is a bold edit control, the target edit manner is bold, and a bold processing is performed on the target input content to present the target input content in a bold presentation style; when the target edit control is a strikethrough edit control, the target edit manner is add strikethrough, and a strikethrough is performed on the target input content to present the target input content in a strikethrough presentation style; when the target edit control is an italic edit control, the target edit manner is slant, and a slant processing is performed on the target input content to present the target input content in a slant presentation style; or when the target edit control is an italic edit control, the target edit manner is slant, and a slant processing is performed on the target input content to present the target input content in a slant presentation style. is a hyperlink edit control, the target edit method is link setting, whereby a related link is set for the target input content, thereby presenting the target input content in a hyperlink presentation style; or, when the target edit control is an ordered list edit control, the target edit method is number arranging, whereby the target input content is ordered and arranged, thereby presenting the target input content in an ordered list presentation style; or, when the target edit control is an unordered list edit control, the target edit method is random arrangement, whereby the target input content is arranged without an order number, thereby presenting the target input content in an unordered list presentation style.

[0040] It should be noted that FIG. 4 only illustrates an input box in the session interface as an example, and other embodiments may process target input content in a rich text input box.

[0041] In some embodiments, the target input content is all the input content in the first input box. For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, before a user inputs content into the first input box, the user triggers the underline edit control. As shown in FIG. 4B, after triggering the underline edit control, the user inputs content into the first input box, and all the input content is presented in an underline presentation style. Obviously, all the input content in the first input box is the target input content.

[0042] In some embodiments, the target input content is a portion of the input content in the first input box. For example, as shown in Figure 5A, a user inputs content into the first input box, selects a portion of the input content, and then triggers the underline edit control. As shown in Figure 5B, after triggering the underline edit control, the selected input content is presented in an underline presentation style. Obviously, the portion of the input content in the first input box is the target input content.

[0043] In this embodiment, in response to a trigger for the target editing control, the target input content in the first input box or the second input box can be processed based on the target editing method corresponding to the target editing control to change the presentation style of the target input content, so that the target input content can be presented to the user in different presentation styles, thereby increasing the diversification of content editing capabilities and thereby meeting the user's demand for diversification of content editing capabilities.

[0044] Based on the above embodiment, the second input box may be obtained based on changing the size of the first input box.

[0045] Illustratively, if the first input box is an input box of the session interface shown in Figure 1A, the size of the first input box is enlarged to obtain a second input box in response to the trigger of the switching control. If the first input box is a rich text input box shown in Figure 1B, the size of the first input box is reduced to obtain a second input box in response to the trigger of the switching control.

[0046] FIG. 6 is a flowchart of some embodiments of a content input method for instant messaging software according to the present disclosure. Based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 6 provides a detailed description of an implementation manner for triggering the display of at least one content editing control before executing S105, as follows:

[0047] S104, displaying at least one content editing control in response to a trigger on a first button displayed in the first input box or the second input box.

[0048] The at least one content edit control includes the target edit control.

[0049] 7A is a schematic diagram of some exemplary display screens of instant messaging software according to the present disclosure. Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 7A, a first button is displayed in an input box of a session interface, and a user can click the first button to trigger the first button. For example, the first button may be an "Aa" style button. As shown in FIG. 7B, at least one content editing control is displayed in response to the trigger operation of the first button.

[0050] In some embodiments, these content editing controls may include at least one of a bold edit control, an underline edit control, a strikethrough edit control, an italic edit control, a hyperlink edit control, an ordered list edit control, an unordered list edit control, and a quote edit control, and may include at least one of other content editing controls such as a font color edit control and a font type edit control, and this embodiment is not specifically limited to content editing controls.

[0051] Based on at least one content editing control displayed, the user selects and triggers one of these content editing controls according to his / her own needs, and the content editing control selected by the user is the target editing control.

[0052] It should be noted that FIG. 7 only illustrates an example of an input box in the session interface, which may be a rich text input box in other embodiments.

[0053] In this embodiment, in response to a trigger on a first button displayed in the first input box or the second input box, at least one content editing control is displayed, and the at least one content editing control includes a target editing control. When there is no need to edit the input content, the content editing control is hidden, which can make the display screen of the IM software relatively simple and improve the user experience. In addition, the first button is displayed in the first input box, making it convenient for the user to operate.

[0054] FIG. 8 is a flowchart of some embodiments of another content input method for instant messaging software according to the present disclosure. Based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 8 provides a detailed description of another implementation manner for triggering the display of at least one content editing control before executing S103, as follows:

[0055] S104' displays at least one content editing control in response to a trigger for the target input content displayed in the first input box or the second input box.

[0056] The at least one content edit control includes the target edit control.

[0057] FIG. 9A is a schematic diagram of several exemplary display screens of another instant messaging software according to the present disclosure. Illustratively, an input content to be edited can be selected from the input box of the session interface shown in FIG. 9A , i.e., a target input content can be selected. In response to the selection operation of the target input content, a floating toolbar can be displayed near the position where the target input content is located, and at least one content editing control is displayed on the floating toolbar.

[0058] In some embodiments, these content editing controls may include at least one of a bold editing control, an underline editing control, a strikethrough editing control, an italic editing control, a hyperlink editing control, an ordered list editing control, an unordered list editing control, and a quote editing control, and may include at least one of other content editing controls such as a font color editing control and a font type editing control, and this embodiment is not specifically limited to content editing controls.

[0059] Based on at least one content editing control displayed in the floating toolbar, a user selects and triggers one of these content editing controls according to his / her own needs, and the content editing control selected by the user is the target editing control.

[0060] In this embodiment, at least one content editing control is displayed in response to a trigger for the target input content displayed in the first input box or the second input box, and the at least one content editing control includes a target editing control. When there is no need to edit the input content, the content editing control is hidden, which makes the display screen relatively simple and improves the user experience. In addition, a single button can be set to trigger the display of the content editing control, further improving the simplicity of the display screen.

[0061] In some embodiments, based on the above embodiments, the display position of at least one content editing control and the position of the target input content are related.

[0062] Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 9A , the floating toolbar is located near the area where the target input content is located, making it convenient for the user to trigger operations on the content editing controls. For example, the floating toolbar may be located 8 pt above the area where the target input content is located. In some embodiments, when the target input content is located near the edge of the input box, the corresponding floating toolbar is located within the display box and close to the display box edge, as shown in FIG. 9A , to ensure that all content editing controls are fully displayed. For example, the floating toolbar is located within the display box and 8 pt from the display box edge. In some embodiments, when the target input content is located close to the middle of the input box, the corresponding floating toolbar may be distributed symmetrically on both sides of the target input content, as shown in FIG. 9B , thereby maintaining the aesthetics of the display screen.

[0063] In this embodiment, the display position of at least one content editing control is associated with the position of the target input content, which is convenient for users to operate and ensures the aesthetics of the display screen and the integrity of the content editing control.

[0064] FIG. 10 is a flowchart of some embodiments of another instant messaging software content input method disclosed herein. Based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 10 provides a detailed description of one possible implementation manner for performing S101, as follows:

[0065] S101': displaying the target input content in the first input box, and saving the target input content in a draft box;

[0066] The user inputs the target input content into the first input box, and after receiving the target input content input by the user, the target input content is saved in the draft box and the target input content is displayed in the first input box.

[0067] As a specific example of one possible implementation of S103, as shown in FIG. 10, S103', in response to a trigger on the switching control, obtain the target input content from the draft box and display it in the second input box.

[0068] The first input box and the second input box share one draft box, and in response to the trigger of the switching control, the second input box can retrieve the previously saved target input content displayed in the first input box from the draft box and display the target input content in the second input box.

[0069] In this embodiment, the first input box and the second input box share a draft box, the target input content is displayed in the first input box, and the target input content is saved in the draft box. In response to the trigger of the switching control, the target input content is retrieved from the draft box and displayed in the second input box. There is no data transmission between the first input box and the second input box, and the synchronization efficiency of the target input content can be improved.

[0070] FIG. 11 is a flowchart of some embodiments of another instant messaging software content input method disclosed herein. Based on the embodiment shown in FIG. 10, FIG. 11 provides a detailed description of one possible implementation manner for executing S103', as follows:

[0071] S201, in response to a trigger on the switching control, obtain a first target input content of the first title region and a second target input content of the first body region from the draft box.

[0072] The size of the first input box is larger than the size of the second input box, for example, the first input box is the rich text input box shown in FIG. 1B, and the second input box is the input box of the session interface shown in FIG. 1A.

[0073] The first input box includes a first title area and a first body area, where the first title area can display a first target input content and the first body area can display a second target input content. Here, the first target input content may not be empty. For example, as shown in FIG. 12A, the first target input content displayed in the first title area is "China" and the second target input content displayed in the first body area is "I am Chinese." The first target input content may be empty. As shown in FIG. 12C, the first title area does not display any content and the second target input content displayed in the first body area is "I am Chinese."

[0074] Based on the above embodiment, a first target input content of a first title area and a second target input content of a first body area are stored in the draft box, and a user triggers a switching control in the first input box, and in response to the triggering of the switching control, the first target input content of the first title area and the second target input content of the first body area are obtained from the draft box.

[0075] S202, determining whether the first target input content is empty.

[0076] If so, execute S203; if not, execute S204.

[0077] S203: Displaying the second target input content in the text area of ​​a second input box including only the text area.

[0078] When the first target input content is empty, the second target input content stored in the draft box is retrieved, and the second target input content is displayed in the body text area of ​​the second input box. The displayed second input box only includes the body text area, and there is no need to leave a title text area for the first target input content, so that the screen displayed in the second input box is relatively more aesthetically pleasing. For example, as shown in Figure 12C, no content is displayed in the first title text area, and the second target input content displayed in the first body text area is "I am Chinese." As shown in Figure 12D, in response to the trigger of the switching control, there is no need to set a title text area above the body text area of ​​the second input box, and the body text area is placed on top, and the second target input content "I am Chinese" is displayed in the body text area.

[0079] S204: Displaying the first target input content in a second title area of ​​a second input box including a second title area and a second body area, and displaying the second target input content in the second body area.

[0080] When the first target input content is not empty, the first target input content and the second target input content stored in the draft box are retrieved, and the first target input content is displayed in the second title area of ​​the second input box and the second target input content is displayed in the second body area, without affecting the presentation style of the first target input content and the second target input content. For example, as shown in FIG. 12A , the first target input content “China” is displayed in the first title area and the second target input content “I am Chinese” is displayed in the first body area. In response to the trigger of the switching control, the second input box displays the second title area and the second body area, and as shown in FIG. 12B , the first target input content “China” is displayed in the second title area and the second target input content “I am Chinese” is displayed in the second body area.
