[0013] The following clearly describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0014] The terms "first," "second," etc. in the specification and claims of this application are intended to distinguish between similar objects and are not intended to describe a particular order or sequence. It is to be understood that terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, so that embodiments of this application may be performed in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and that objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc. are generally of the same type and do not limit the number of objects; for example, a first object may be one or more. Furthermore, "and / or" in the specification and claims indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates an "or" relationship between the related objects.

[0015] The message reminding method according to the embodiment of the present application is applied to a scenario in which prompt information of an unread message is displayed, and the specific application scenario may be determined according to actual usage needs, and the present application does not specifically limit it.

[0016] Taking the prompt information of a target message being displayed on the interactive interface of a target group as an example, when the interactive interface of the target group is displayed on the electronic device, the user can trigger the electronic device to establish an association relationship between N contacts among the multiple contacts corresponding to the target group, thereby receiving the target message corresponding to the target group, and if the target message includes a contact identifier of a contact among the N contacts, all contacts among the N contacts other than this contact will receive the prompt message in the interactive interface of the target group and can read the target message in a timely manner.

[0017] Specifically, when the interaction interface of the target group is displayed on the electronic device, the user can input the contact identifiers of Contact 1, Contact 2, and Contact 3 among the multiple contacts corresponding to the target group to trigger the electronic device to establish an association relationship between Contact 1, Contact 2, and Contact 3, so that when Contact 4 sends a target message in the interaction interface of the target group and @sends a target message to Contact 1 (or Contact 2, Contact 3), a prompt message can be displayed in the interaction interface of the target group to prompt Contact 2 and Contact 3 to read the target message, so that Contact 4 can enter the interaction interface of the target group. When a target message is sent in the target group dialogue interface and only Contact 1 is prompted to read the target message in a timely manner, Contacts 2 and 3, who have established an association relationship with Contact 1, can both receive the prompt message, thereby prompting Contacts 2 and 3 to also read the target message in a timely manner. Therefore, when Contact 4 sends a target message in the target group dialogue interface, he does not need to email Contact 1, Contact 2, and Contact 3 respectively to remind these three contacts to read the target message in a timely manner. Therefore, by simplifying the user's operation, the efficiency of the electronic device reminding the user to read the message is improved.

[0018] Hereinafter, the message reminding method according to the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail with reference to specific examples and application scenarios in conjunction with the drawings.

[0019] An embodiment of the present application provides a message reminding method, and Fig. 1 shows a flowchart of the message reminding method according to the embodiment of the present application, which may be applied to an electronic device. As shown in Fig. 1, the message reminding method according to the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps 201 and 202:

[0020] Step 201: The electronic device receives a targeted message through a first account.

[0021] In an embodiment of the present application, the target message includes a target identifier.

[0022] Step 202: If the first account corresponds to the first contact, the electronic device outputs a first prompt message.

[0023] In an embodiment of the present application, the target identifier is a contact identifier of the second contact and a target SubThe group identifier and this target Sub The group includes a first contact, the first contact and the second contact are both contacts in the target group, and the first contact and the second contact have an association relationship.

[0024] In an embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device receives a target message corresponding to a second contact in the target group, and the target message includes a contact identifier of the second contact, the electronic device displays a first prompt message in the interaction interface of the target group to prompt the first contact to read the target message in a timely manner.

[0025] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device receives a targeted message through a first account and the targeted message includes a target identifier, output and display a first prompt message on the interaction interface of the target group.

[0026] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first account is an account corresponding to a target group that has already logged in to the electronic device.

[0027] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the target message is a message corresponding to a second contact in the target group, and the first prompt message is used to prompt the first contact to read the target message.

[0028] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the target Sub The contacts included in the group may have a corresponding relationship with each other. For example, the contacts may be family members. The plurality of contacts may be friends, or the plurality of contacts may be colleagues, etc.

[0029] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the targeted message is sent to a target of a target group. Sub It may also be a message sent by a contact other than the contacts included in the group, and this message prompts the second contact to read it in a timely manner (i.e., @ing the second contact).

[0030] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first contact may output a first prompt message when receiving the target message, and optionally the second contact or the target Sub When a plurality of contacts included in the group receive the target message, the first prompt message is also output, and selectively, when other contacts receive the target message, the first prompt message is not output.

[0031] An embodiment of the present application provides a message reminding method, in which an electronic device is targeted by a first account. Sub When the electronic device receives a targeted message including an identifier of the group or a contact identifier of the second contact, if the first account corresponds to the first contact, output a first prompt message. When the electronic device receives a targeted message in the target group through the first account and the targeted message corresponds to the target Sub When the electronic device includes the identifier of the group or the contact identifier of the second contact, if the first account corresponds to the first contact, the electronic device can display a first prompt message in the interaction interface of the target group to prompt the first contact to read the target message, so that other contacts can send messages in the interaction interface of the target group and read the target message. Sub When prompting a group or a second contact, the electronic device can prompt the first contact in a timely manner to read the targeted message, so that the targeted message is read by the target contact. SubIf the message includes an identifier of the group or a contact identifier of the second contact, and the first contact and the second contact have an association relationship, a first prompt message can be displayed in the interaction interface of the target group to prompt the first contact to read the target message in a timely manner, thereby improving the efficiency of the electronic device reminding the user to read the message.

[0032] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 2 in combination with FIG. 1, before the above step 201, the message reminding method according to an embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps 203 and 204:

[0033] Step 203: When displaying an interface corresponding to a target group, the electronic device receives a first input from a user.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present application, the first input is an input for contact identifiers of the user's N contacts, where the N contacts include the first contact, and N is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0035] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the N contacts are contacts among a plurality of contacts corresponding to a target group.

[0036] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the interface corresponding to the target group may be understood as a group member list interface of the target group, and the user may make a first input for the contact identifiers of the N contacts in this group member list interface.

[0037] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first input may include multiple sub-inputs, and when the user uses these multiple sub-inputs to display the interaction interface of the target group on the electronic device, the user first triggers the electronic device to display the group member list interface of the target group, and then inputs the contact identifiers of the N contacts displayed in the group member list interface.

[0038] Step 204, the electronic device responds to the first input and targets N contacts. Sub Determine the N contacts as contacts in the group and establish association relationships between the N contacts.

[0039] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device determines, based on a selection input (i.e., a first input) for N contacts among the plurality of contacts corresponding to the user's target group, that an association relationship needs to be established among the N contacts, and associates the N contacts (i.e., one Sub Combine as a group).

[0040] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned establishing the association relationship between the N contacts can be performed by connecting the N contacts to one Sub This may be understood as binding these N contacts together, thereby determining the target Sub In a group, if any one of N contacts is @ed, all of the N contacts can receive the prompt message.

[0041] Optionally, it should be noted that the actor who makes the first input and triggers the electronic device to establish the association relationship among the N contacts may be any one of the N contacts or the administrator of the target group. That is, if a contact is neither one of the N contacts nor the administrator of the target group, the contact cannot trigger the electronic device to establish the association relationship among the N contacts. And the same contact may be a user of multiple contacts. Sub may be combined into groups (i.e. the same contact may be Sub may be combined into groups repeatedly).

[0042] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after establishing the association relationship between the N contacts, when a contact sends a target message in the target group (i.e., receives a target message corresponding to the target group), and the target message includes a contact identifier of a second contact (i.e., the target message is a message addressed to the second contact), the electronic device owned by the first contact (i.e., the electronic device corresponding to the first contact) displays a first prompt message in the interaction interface of the target group to prompt the first contact to read the target message in a timely manner.

[0043] It should be noted that in a target group, when a contact sends a message to another contact (e.g., a second contact) and prompts the other contact to read the message in a timely manner, in order to prevent the other contact from failing to reply to the message in a timely manner, the second contact can prompt the first contact to read and reply to the message in a timely manner by establishing an association relationship between the second contact and the first contact through the above method.

[0044] For example, in one specific implementation, for example, in a kindergarten class group, both the father and mother of the student must be members of this group. In daily group communication, such a scenario will be encountered. A teacher may send a message to one of the students' parents, and if this parent does not notice the message in a timely manner, other parents will generally not be able to pay attention to this message in a timely manner, or the teacher may not be able to notice the message in a timely manner. When a teacher compiles related information, one parent of a student may have already replied, and the other parent may not pay attention to whether there is a reply message and may reply again. Therefore, by establishing a relationship between the two parents of a student in the above embodiment, they can pay attention to each other's messages and read them in a timely manner.

[0045] For example, the electronic device is a mobile phone. As shown in FIG. 3A, when the group member list interface of the target group is displayed, the user selects and inputs the contact 1 and contact 4 displayed in the group member list interface to establish a relationship between the contact 1 and contact 4 (i.e., one Sub 3 (B), the mobile phone can be triggered to combine Contact 1 and Contact 4 into one group. Sub It is displayed as Group 1 and is the default setting on the mobile phone. Sub This will be displayed as the group name. Sub You can rename the group name.

[0046] Also, for example, by combining (B) in FIG. 3 with (A) in FIG. 4 and (B) in FIG. 4, when a contact sends a message and selects a contact to be reminded, the mobile phone can display the contact in two display formats as shown in the figure. As shown in (A) in FIG. 4, the mobile phone SubContact 1 and Contact 4 can be indicated by displaying the identifier of Group 1, in which case the user can read the relationship between Contact 1 and Contact 4; as shown in (B) of Figure 4, the mobile phone can normally display the identifiers of Contact 1 and Contact 4 (i.e., display the identifiers of Contact 1 and Contact 4 separately), in which case the user cannot read the relationship between Contact 1 and Contact 4, and only the processor inside the mobile phone can determine the relationship between Contact 1 and Contact 4.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device receives a targeted message corresponding to a second contact in the target group, and the targeted message is Sub Group identifier or target Sub If the target message includes a contact identifier of a second contact in the group, output a first prompt message in the interaction interface of the target group to prompt the first contact to read the target message. When the electronic device receives the target message corresponding to the second contact in the target group, and the target message includes a contact identifier of the second contact in the group, output a first prompt message in the interaction interface of the target group to prompt the first contact to read the target message. Sub When the target message includes the identifier of the group or the contact identifier of the second contact, the electronic device can display a first prompt message in the interaction interface of the target group to prompt the first contact to read the target message, so that when another contact sends a message in the interaction interface of the target group and prompts the second contact, the electronic device can prompt the first contact to read the target message corresponding to the second contact in a timely manner. Therefore, when the target message includes the contact identifier of the second contact and SubWhen establishing an association relationship among the N contacts by a group, a first prompt message can be displayed in the interaction interface of the target group to prompt other contacts among the N contacts to read the target message in a timely manner, thereby improving the efficiency of the electronic device reminding the user to read the message.

[0048] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 5 in combination with FIG. 2, the above step 204 may be specifically realized by the following step 204a.

[0049] In step 204a, the electronic device responds to the first input by sending a request message to a server corresponding to the target group, and targets N contacts. Sub A server is requested to determine the N contacts as contacts in the group, and the server stores the association relationships between the N contacts.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present application, if the target message includes a contact identifier of at least one contact among the N contacts, the first prompt message will be displayed in all of the interaction interfaces of the target group corresponding to the N contacts.

[0051] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can group the N contacts into one target group by sending a request message to a server corresponding to the target group. Sub The server can be triggered to determine the group as a group, so that the multiple contacts corresponding to the target group can all read the association relationship of the N contacts in the interface (i.e., the multiple contacts corresponding to the target group can all see the interface shown in (A) in Figure 4).

[0052] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device (electronic device corresponding to the first contact) can only use the N contacts as one target. SubThe N contacts can be determined as a group, the relationship relationships among the N contacts can be saved, and the relationship relationships among the N contacts can be sent to other contacts other than the first contact among the N contacts, so that each of the N contacts can determine the relationship relationships among the N contacts, but other contacts among the multiple contacts corresponding to the target group (i.e., contacts other than the N contacts) do not need to determine the relationship relationships among the N contacts (i.e., the other contacts can see the interface shown in (B) in Figure 4).

[0053] It should be noted that the contact can see the interface shown in FIG. 4B in the interface and select any one of the N contacts (i.e. Sub When contacting contact 1 or contact 4 in group 1, the interaction interfaces of the target group corresponding to contact 1 and contact 4 can both display a first prompt message.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device sends a request message to a server corresponding to a target group, and groups N contacts into one target group. Sub By requesting the server to determine the N contacts as a group and storing the association relationships among the N contacts in the server, if the target message includes the contact identifier of at least one of the N contacts, the first prompt message can be displayed on the interaction interface of the target group corresponding to the N contacts. Therefore, by establishing the association relationships among the N contacts, the efficiency of the electronic device reminding multiple users to read the message is improved.

[0055] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 6 in combination with FIG. 2, after the above step 204, the message reminding method according to an embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps 301 and 302:

[0056] Step 301: The electronic device is a user target. Sub A second input for the group is received.

[0057] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, N contacts can be grouped into one target. Sub After determining as a group and saving the relationship relationships between the N contacts, the first contact among the N contacts (i.e., the user who establishes the relationship relationships between the N contacts) is the target Sub You can edit and configure groups.

[0058] Step 302, the electronic device responds to the second input and Sub Coordinate N contacts corresponding to the group.

[0059] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first contact may be a target in the group member list interface. Sub Editing the group allows you to Sub Adding new contacts to a group, target Sub Deleting a contact in a group, target Sub Disbanding the group, target Sub Leaving the group, target Sub Transfer group admin (i.e. target Sub Target Edit Permissions for Groups Sub The electronic device can be triggered to perform at least one of: transferring the contact to another contact in the group;

[0060] Illustratively, in combination with (B) in FIG. 3, as shown in (A) in FIG. 7, the user can select contacts 1 and 4 in the group member list interface. Sub Enter the information for Group 1 and click Sub The "Leave Group" and " Sub Triggers the phone to display the "Edit Group" control, and the user can Sub By entering input into the "Leave Group" control, Sub You can leave the group directly and users Sub If you are an administrator of a group, you can: Sub To leave a group, Sub Transferring group admin Sub You can leave the group and the user can Sub Enter an input into the "Edit Group" control, and the mobile phone will display the following message, as shown in Figure 7 (B). Sub The group editing interface appears, Sub The group editing interface includes controls for adding new contacts (i.e., the plus sign control), deleting contacts (i.e., the minus sign control), and transferring management. Sub and control to disband the group.

[0061] It should be noted that the user Sub If the user is not the administrator of the group, the user will see Contact 1 and Contact 4 in the group member list interface. Sub When entering data for Group 1, the mobile phone will say " Sub Only the "Leave Group" control is displayed, but " Sub The Edit Group control does not need to be visible.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, N contacts are grouped into one target. Sub After deciding on a group, the user can select the target group in the group member list interface. Sub Enter input for the group and target Sub Edit the group and target Sub The electronic device can be triggered to adjust the number of N contacts corresponding to the group, thereby targeting Sub The contacts included in the group can be flexibly adjusted, giving electronic devices greater flexibility in reminding multiple users to read messages.

[0063] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 8 in combination with FIG. 2, after the above step 202, the message reminding method according to the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 401:

[0064] Step 401: the electronic device outputs a second prompt message when receiving a first message sent by a third contact in the interaction interface of the target group.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, the second prompt message is used to prompt the first contact to read the first message, where the first message is a reply message to the target message of the third contact, and the third contact is Sub This is the contact point for the group.

[0066] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the targeted message corresponding to the target group received by the electronic device may include a contact identifier of at least one contact among the N contacts, and a contact among the N contacts (i.e., the third contact) may be the target. When the first message is sent in the interaction interface of the target group, a second prompt message is displayed in the interaction interface of the target group to prompt other contacts among the N contacts to read the first message.

[0067] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the fact that the target message includes a contact identifier of at least one contact among the N contacts means that the target message includes a target Sub It may be understood that the identifier of the group is included, or the identifier of any one of the N contacts is included in the targeted message.

[0068] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device receives a target message corresponding to a target group, and the target message includes a contact identifier of at least one contact among the N contacts, a first prompt message may be displayed on each of the interaction interfaces of the target group corresponding to each contact among the N contacts.

[0069] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when a third contact among the N contacts reads the target message and sends a reply message (i.e., a first message) in the interaction interface of the target group, a second prompt message may be displayed in the interaction interface of the target group corresponding to each contact among the N contacts, to prompt each contact among the N contacts that a contact has replied to the target message.

[0070] Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 9A, a contact sends a target message in the target group's interaction interface; Sub @ Group 1 (or Sub When Contact 1 (or Contact 4) replies to the target message in the target group's dialogue interface, the target group's dialogue interface corresponding to Contact 1 and Contact 4 may both display prompt information "Someone can @ us," and the user can trigger the mobile phone to jump to the display position where the target message is located (or highlight the target message) by making an input in response to this prompt information. As shown in (B) in Figure 9, when Contact 1 (or Contact 4) replies to the target message in the target group's dialogue interface, the target group's dialogue interface corresponding to Contact 4 (or Contact 1) displays prompt information "Someone has replied to your message," so that Contact 4 does not need to reply repeatedly.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present application, when an electronic device receives a target message corresponding to a target group, and the target message includes a contact identifier of at least one contact among N contacts, when one of the N contacts replies to the target message in the interaction interface of the target group, the electronic device may display a second prompt message in the interaction interface of the target group corresponding to other contacts among the N contacts, to prompt these contacts that some contacts have already replied to the target message, thereby preventing multiple users from repeatedly replying to the message.

[0072] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, after the above step 202, the message reminding method according to the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 402:

[0073] Step 402: The electronic device outputs second prompt information when receiving a second message sent by a second contact in the interaction interface of the target group.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, the second message is a reply message to the second contact's target message.

[0075] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device receives a target message through a first account and a second contact sends a reply message (i.e., a second message) to the target message in the interaction interface of the target group, second prompt information may be output and displayed on the first account (i.e., the first contact) to prompt the first contact that the second contact has already replied to the target message in the interaction interface of the target group.

[0076] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 10 in combination with FIG. 1, after the above step 202, the message reminding method according to an embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps 501 and 502:

[0077] Step 501: The electronic device receives a third input from the user in response to the first prompt message.

[0078] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, when a contact among the N contacts receives a target message corresponding to a target group and displays a first prompt message in the interaction interface of the target group, the contact may provide an input in response to the displayed prompt message to trigger the electronic device to display only the target message in the interaction interface of the target group, but hide unrelated messages.

[0079] Step 502: The electronic device responds to the third input and hides the third message in the interaction interface of the target group.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, the third message is a message other than the target message in the interaction interface of the target group.

[0081] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can display only the target message in the interaction interface of the target group based on the user's input to the first prompt message, so that the message reading process is not interfered with by other messages.

[0082] In an embodiment of the present application, when an electronic device receives a target message corresponding to a target group and also receives a first prompt message, the user can input information in response to the first prompt message to control the electronic device so that only the target message is displayed in the interaction interface of the target group, and thus, in the interaction interface of the target group, the third message other than the target message is hidden, thereby making it easier for the user to read the target message.

[0083] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the above step 203 may be specifically realized by the following step 203b.

[0084] Step 203b: In response to the first input, the electronic device associates each of the N-1 contacts with the first contact.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned N-1 contacts are contacts other than the first contact among the N contacts, where when a target message corresponding to the target group is received and a third contact among the N-1 contacts is marked, both the third contact and the first contact can receive the first prompt message.

[0086] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the first contact may, through a first input, associate multiple contacts with themselves (i.e., the first contact), thereby allowing the first contact to read messages corresponding to the already associated contacts in a timely manner.

[0087] It should be noted that associating each of the N-1 contacts with the first contact may be understood to bring each of the N-1 contacts to the attention of the first contact, thereby enabling the first contact to pay timely attention to messages from the N-1 contacts.

[0088] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after each contact among the N-1 contacts is associated with the first contact, when a contact sends a message in the interaction interface of the target group and @sends a message to any one of the N-1 contacts, a prompt message may be displayed in the interaction interface of the target group corresponding to the first contact, prompting the contact associated with the first contact that a new message has been received.

[0089] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, after each contact among the N-1 contacts is associated with the first contact, when any one of the N-1 contacts sends a message in the interaction interface of the target group, a prompt message may be displayed in the interaction interface of the target group corresponding to the first contact to prompt that the contact associated with the first contact has sent a new message.

[0090] For example, by combining (A) in Fig. 3 and displaying the group member list interface of the target group on the mobile phone as shown in (A) in Fig. 11, the user can associate Contact 1 and Contact 4 with the user by selecting and inputting Contact 1 and Contact 4 (i.e., make Contact 1 and Contact 4 the user's focus), and mark them with a star mark. As shown in (B) in Fig. 11, when a contact (e.g., Contact 8) sends a message in the target group's dialogue interface and @sends Contact 1 (or @s Contact 4), the target group's dialogue interface corresponding to the first contact may display prompt information such as "someone has @ed the focused contact."

[0091] Also, by way of example, combining (B) in FIG. 11 with (A) in FIG. 12, when Contact 1 replies to the target message in the interaction interface of the target group, the interaction interface of the target group corresponding to the first contact may display the prompt information "the focused contact has sent a new message", so that the first contact can make input to this prompt information, and as shown in (B) in FIG. 12, the mobile phone may only display the message addressed to Contact 1 and the message sent by Contact 1 in the interaction interface of the target group, so that the first contact can easily read the message corresponding to the focused contact.

[0092] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the user may select a group membership list for the target group. The associated contacts may be adjusted in the list interface to add new or cancel associated contacts.

[0093] In an embodiment of the present application, a user can associate each contact among the N-1 contacts with the first contact through a first input, thereby making the N-1 contacts the first contact's focused contacts, so that when the first contact receives the target message and marks a contact among the N-1 contacts, the first contact can receive a first prompt message and read the target message in a timely manner, thereby improving the efficiency of the electronic device reminding the user to read the message.
