[0011] The following describes embodiments of the Disclosure in more detail with reference to the drawings. While the drawings illustrate some embodiments of the Disclosure, it should be understood that the Disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided for a more thorough and complete understanding of the Disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the Disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the Disclosure.

[0012] It should be understood that the steps described in the embodiments of the methods of this disclosure may be performed in a different order and / or in parallel. Furthermore, embodiments of the methods may include additional steps and / or omit the performance of the indicated steps. The scope of this disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0013] As used herein, the term "includes" and its variations are open-ended, meaning "includes, but not limited to." The term "based on" means "based at least partially." The term "one embodiment" means "at least one embodiment," the term "another embodiment" means "at least one other embodiment," and the term "several embodiments" means "at least several embodiments." Definitions related to other terms are provided in the following description.

[0014] It should be noted that the concepts of “first,” “second,” etc., as used in this disclosure are merely for distinguishing different devices, modules, or units, and are not intended to limit the order or interdependence of the functions performed by these devices, modules, or units. It should also be noted that the modifications of “one,” “multiple,” etc., as used in this disclosure are not restrictive but illustrative, and should be understood as “one or more,” unless otherwise explicitly indicated in the context, as should be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0015] The names of messages or information exchanged between multiple devices in the embodiments of this disclosure are used for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of such messages or information.

[0016] The inventors of this disclosure have found that in solutions using related technologies, when a user processes a message, the relevant emojis or controls are generally stacked or concentrated in a single menu bar or small area, resulting in the user having to perform multiple operations to process the message, the ease of operation logic being insufficient, and when the identifier information associated with each message processing control is relatively long, the presentation method of the related technologies cannot clearly present this information to the user, resulting in a relatively poor user experience.

[0017] In view of this, the embodiments of this disclosure not only clearly present emojis and controls related to various message processing to the user, but also solve the problem of multiple emojis or controls being piled up and concentrated in a single control or small area, providing a message processing method that simplifies the operation logic and enhances the user experience.

[0018] Before introducing the solution method of the present disclosure, first, the application scenario may be exemplarily described. This solution method may be applied to scenarios where a user provides feedback and processing for messages in a chat interface, and may also be applied to scenarios where the application of a conversation interface is required in the process of conducting a video call with multiple people. For example, when a user uses related application software to chat and communicate with other users or chat and communicate with multiple users in a group, it may be desirable to provide feedback or processing for messages in the chat interface in a simple manner. For example, when a user desires to provide feedback of an emoji for a certain message, that is, when desiring to express approval for the content of this message by the emoji, based on the solution method of the embodiments of the present disclosure, an emoji area can be displayed in the display interface by a trigger operation, and further, the corresponding emoji can be selected from the emoji area to provide feedback for this message. Or, when a user desires to forward a certain message in the chat frame to other users or other groups, similarly, based on the solution method of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a message processing area that is positionally different from the emoji area can be displayed in the display interface by a trigger operation, and further, the corresponding control can be selected from the message processing area to forward the message.

[0019] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a message processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiments of the present disclosure are applicable when a user provides feedback and processing for messages in a chat interface. This method may be executed by a message processing device, and this message processing device may be implemented in the form of software and / or hardware. In some embodiments, for example, it is implemented by an electronic device. For example, this electronic device may be a mobile terminal, a PC (Personal Computer) terminal, or a server, etc.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes steps S110 to S120.

[0021] In step S110, a conversation message is displayed on the conversation interface, and a trigger operation for the conversation message is detected.

[0022] Here, the conversation message is a message sent by the user. As can be understood, for one client, the conversation message not only includes the message sent by the user corresponding to this client, but also includes the messages sent and received by other users. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the conversation message may be a text message, a voice message or a video message, and by associating each conversation message with a user identifier, it is easy to distinguish the message source.

[0023] Accordingly, the conversation interface may be an interface pre-constructed in application software that provides a chat communication function or an information sharing function, and the conversation interface can display multiple conversation messages one by one according to their transmission times. Those skilled in the art should understand that multiple conversation messages are generally arranged vertically on the conversation interface, and the received messages and the user identifiers related to the messages may be presented on the left side of the conversation interface, and the messages sent by the user corresponding to this client and the user identifiers related to the messages may be presented on the right side of the conversation interface, and the latest conversation message is generally located at the bottom end of the conversation interface. The embodiments of the present disclosure omit the description thereof.

[0024] [[ID=1�]] In this embodiment, since the user needs to provide feedback or process conversational messages in the conversation interface, it is necessary to first display some trigger prompt information near the conversational message to facilitate the user's execution of related operations. To ensure that it is understandable, the displayed trigger prompt information is used to at least guide the user's message feedback operation or the user's message processing operation.

[0025] In some embodiments, trigger prompt information is displayed in a location associated with the conversation message to prompt a trigger action and / or a pre-set condition for the conversation message. As can be seen by referring to Figure 2, when a user communicates with friend A using application software, three messages sent in succession by friend A (i.e., a short video message, message 1, and message 2) are all displayed on the left side of the conversation interface along with A's avatar. Furthermore, to guide the user to provide feedback or take action on friend A's messages, the client may display trigger prompt information "Press and hold the conversation message to provide feedback or take action" in a location associated with message 1 (i.e., below the display frame corresponding to message 1 in Figure 2). Thus, as can be understood, the user can confirm that after this trigger prompt information is displayed, they can provide feedback or take action on message 1 by pressing and holding the display frame corresponding to message 1. Of course, in actual applications, the associated location may also include the tail and bottom of the display frame to which the conversation message belongs, so the actual display position of the trigger prompt information may be adjusted as needed. Furthermore, after receiving a message from another user, the application may display trigger prompt information at the relevant location in the most recent conversation message display frame, or it may display one trigger prompt piece of information at the relevant location in each conversation message display frame, and the embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this to specific details.

[0026] In some embodiments, in actual applications, the application may further distinguish between conversational messages and trigger prompt information in order to enable the user to clearly distinguish between conversational messages and trigger prompt information within a conversational interface of limited size, and distinguishing between them may include having different fonts, colors, and / or font sizes for conversational messages and trigger prompt information, and having different colors for the sub-display frame to which the trigger prompt information belongs and the color used to fill the display frame.

[0027] As can be seen by referring to Figure 2, the text messages sent by friend A (i.e., message 1 and message 2) are both displayed in bold using a single font. When the application presents trigger prompt information in the display frame corresponding to message 1, the trigger prompt information, "Press and hold the conversation message to provide feedback or process it," is displayed in a different font. The font size of the trigger prompt information is also slightly smaller than that of message 1, and the color of the text is different from that of the conversation message. Furthermore, the application may fill the display frame corresponding to the conversation message with white and the sub-display frame corresponding to the trigger prompt information with gray to clearly distinguish between the two. Of course, in actual application, the distinction between the conversation message and the trigger prompt information may be represented as one or multiple, and the embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this to specific matters.

[0028] By displaying two distinct texts, Message 1 and Trigger Prompt Information, it becomes easier for users to clearly distinguish whether the text displayed in the conversation interface is a conversation message or trigger prompt information.

[0029] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when at least one conversational message is presented in a conversational interface, the application can detect a trigger operation for at least one conversational message in real time. Specifically, the trigger operation includes pressing and holding the conversational message, and accordingly, a pre-configured condition includes the condition that the duration of pressing and holding the conversational message reaches a pre-configured duration threshold.

[0030] Continuing with Figure 2 as an example, after the application displays trigger prompt information "Press and hold the conversation message to provide feedback or process it" below the display frame of message 1, the user can confirm how to provide feedback or process this message, and further, the user can perform a press and hold operation on one of the display frames of messages sent by friend A (for example, by pressing and holding the display frame of message 1). After detecting the user's touch on the display frame, the application can obtain the user's press and hold duration by accumulating the duration of the user's touch. Furthermore, if the application detects that the press and hold duration has reached a preset duration threshold of two seconds, it can determine that the user's trigger operation has already met a preset condition. In actual application, the trigger operation may include multiple types, for example, multiple consecutive clicks on the conversation message display frame as a trigger operation, and accordingly, the preset condition may change adaptively depending on the trigger operation.

[0031] In step S120, if the trigger operation meets the pre-set conditions, the emoji area and message processing area corresponding to the conversation message are displayed.

[0032] Here, the emoji area includes at least one selected waiting emoji, and the message processing area includes at least one function control. To make it understandable, the emoji area and message processing area may take on various shapes, provided that they do not affect the user's viewing of the relevant conversational message. The selected waiting emoji embodies various expressions of the user's emotions. For example, a heart emoji indicates that the user likes the content of the message, a smiling emoji indicates that the user will be happy after seeing the content of the message, and a crying emoji indicates that the user will be very sad after seeing the content of the message. Function controls are controls that have been pre-developed and integrated into the application by the developer, and each control is associated with a subprogram for implementing a certain function. For example, the message processing area includes a reply control for responding to a message, a forwarding control for the user to forward a message, and a delete control for deleting a message.

[0033] In this embodiment, the emoji area and the message processing area are independent of each other and have different display positions in the conversation interface. In some embodiments, the emoji area is displayed at the edge of the display frame to which the conversation message belongs, and the message processing area is displayed at the bottom edge of the conversation interface. The display methods of the emoji area and message processing area will be explained below with reference to Figure 3.

[0034] Referring to Figure 3, an emoji area may be displayed on the upper edge of the message display frame when it is detected that the user has long-pressed the message 1 display frame for a predetermined duration of two seconds. The emoji area includes several emojis that can embody the user's emotions, such as a heart, a smiley face, a crying face, a star, a warning, and an error. The message processing area is then displayed at the bottom of the conversation interface, i.e., in the original position for displaying the message editing frame. The message processing area further includes a reply control for replying to message 1, a forwarding control for forwarding message 1, a copy control for copying the contents of message 1, and a delete control for deleting the contents of message 1. Of course, in actual application, the emoji area is not limited to being displayed only on the upper edge of the message display frame, but may also be displayed on the left, right, or lower edge of the message display frame as needed, and the emojis included in the emoji area and the controls integrated into the message processing area may be configured as needed, and the embodiments of this disclosure do not limit the specifics thereto.

[0035] In some embodiments of this disclosure, after the application presents the emoji area and the message processing area in different locations within the conversation interface, the application may further obscure and display other conversation messages in the conversation interface to which the conversation message belongs in order to highlight the message currently being fed back or processed. In some embodiments, the step of obscuring and displaying includes drawing an obscuration layer corresponding to the other conversation messages, thereby obscuring and displaying the other conversation messages with the obscuration layer. The transparency of the obscuration layer is within a preset range of transparency. The situation of obscuring and displaying other conversation messages will be described below with reference to Figure 4.

[0036] For example, when an application presents an emoji area and a message processing area corresponding to message 1 in a conversation interface, it can further occlude other conversation messages or areas unrelated to message 1 by generating one or more occluding layers based on a preset transparency. That is, as shown in Figure 4, an occluding layer of appropriate size with 60% transparency is displayed above and below the display frame of message 1. The user can then pre-set a range of transparency corresponding to the occluding layer by the application. For example, if the transparency range is 20%-80%, the application can select one value from this range as the transparency of the occluding layer that is actually rendered, depending on the actual situation. To make it understandable, by providing the user with a way to adjust the transparency of the occluding layer, it is possible to avoid the rendered occluding layer affecting the user's viewing experience by facilitating flexible changes to the style of the final display interface by the user.

[0037] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the emoji area and message processing area may be displayed by other means in addition to the above-described method. In some embodiments, the conversation message is displayed on a pop-up page, the emoji area is displayed on the edge of the display frame to which the conversation message belongs, and the message processing area is displayed at the bottom of the pop-up page. In actual application, the page size of the pop-up page may match the interface size of the conversation interface. The above display methods will be described below with reference to Figure 5.

[0038] Referring to Figure 5, when the application detects that a user's trigger action has met a pre-defined condition, it may construct a popup page that perfectly matches the size and position of the conversation interface and render and present this page in the display interface. As can be seen from Figure 5, the content of message 1, "It's nice to meet you," which is feedbacked or processed by the user, may be displayed in the center of the popup page. Of course, in actual applications, the message content may also be displayed in the upper or lower area of ​​the popup as needed, and the embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this to specific matters.

[0039] Continuing to refer to Figure 5, when displaying the content of message 1 on a popup page, an emoji area may also be displayed at the top of the popup page. For example, an emoji area containing six selected waiting emojis may be displayed at the top of the page. Furthermore, a message processing area may be displayed at the bottom of the popup page. For example, a message processing area containing a reply control, a forwarding control, a copy control, and a delete control may be displayed at the bottom of the page.

[0040] In some embodiments of this disclosure, at least one functional control is presented horizontally in the message processing area, and more functional controls can be presented by sliding the message processing area horizontally. The method of presenting functional controls by sliding them horizontally will be described below, linking Figures 4 and 6.

[0041] Referring to Figure 4, the message processing area includes five slide windows, each of which may be used to present a single functional control, for example, a reply control, a forwarding control, a copy control, a delete control, and a notification control. Due to the limited display area of ​​the message processing area, the application displays only the slide windows corresponding to the first four controls mentioned above. In this case, when the user wishes to notify message 1, that is, when the user wishes to click the notification control on the far right of the message processing area, a leftward slide operation on the message processing area using touch will display the forwarding control, copy control, delete control, and notification control as shown in Figure 6, thereby updating the slide windows and their associated controls displayed within the message processing area.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when a message processing area is displayed at the bottom of a conversation interface, the application can further determine the object type to which the conversation message belongs, and based on the object type, determine at least one functional control in the message processing area.

[0043] In some embodiments, if the target type is a first target type, the notification control is not included in at least one functional control, and if the target type is a second target type, the withdrawal control is not included in at least one functional control. Here, if the target type of the target to which a message belongs is a first target type, it means that this message is sent by the user corresponding to the current client, and if the target type of the target to which a message belongs is a second target type, it means that this message is sent by another user and received by the current client. For example, the notification control is used to implement the function of reporting a message to the service end and having the service end worker review this message, and the withdrawal control is used to implement the function of withdrawing a message.

[0044] For example, when a user is chatting with an unknown user B, and one message sent by unknown user B may violate the application's rules, the user can select this message by touch, and the application can display a message processing area corresponding to this message when it detects that the user's touch duration reaches a predetermined duration threshold. The application may then determine, based on the identifier carried by the message, that the target type to which the message belongs is a second target type, i.e., that this message is a message sent by another user to the client's corresponding user. Accordingly, in addition to the above-mentioned reply and forward controls, a reporting control may be displayed to the user within the message processing area, and after detecting that the user clicks this control, the client can report this message to the service end by message or other means, and the message can be reviewed by the relevant worker.

[0045] When a user chats with an unknown user B, it is possible that the user may send an incorrect conversational message to unknown user B, for example, a message containing a relatively large number of typos. In this case, the user can select the message using touch gestures, and the application can display a message processing area corresponding to this message when it detects that the user's touch duration reaches a pre-set duration threshold. The application may then determine, based on the identifier carried by the message, that the target type to which the message belongs is the first target type, that is, that the message is a message sent by the client-corresponding user to another user. Accordingly, in addition to the reply and forward controls mentioned above, a withdrawal control can be displayed to the user within the message processing area. After detecting that the user clicks this control, the service end can delete the message, thereby preventing it from being displayed in the conversation interface between this user and unknown user B.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the step of displaying at least one selected waiting emoji in the emoji area includes the steps of determining a user identifier that triggers the conversational message, and determining at least one selected waiting emoji to be displayed in the emoji area, and the presentation order of the at least one selected waiting emoji, based on the language type, area type, and / or frequency of use for each emoji corresponding to the user identifier.

[0047] Here, the user identifier is information that reflects the identity of each user in the chat conversation, and the application can use the user identifier to determine the language this user uses, the region this user is currently located in, or the frequency with which this user uses each of the waiting emojis.

[0048] For example, in the process of displaying at least one selected waiting emoji in the emoji area, if the application determines that the language used by the user is language A based on the user identifier of the user to whom the message belongs, the application may present multiple selected waiting emojis in the emoji area corresponding to a group that uses language A, and the order in which these emojis are presented is more in line with the usage habits of the group that uses language A. For example, if this group tends to use heart emojis and smiley face emojis during online chats, then in the corresponding emoji area, these two emojis would be displayed in the first and second positions, respectively.

[0049] Similarly, if the application determines that the user's current location is in area a based on the user identifier of the user to whom the message belongs, it can then present multiple selected waiting emojis in the emoji area that correspond to the group living in area a, with the order in which these emojis are presented being more in line with the group's usage habits. For example, if this group tends to use crying face and sun emojis during online chats, these two emojis might appear in the first and second positions, respectively, within the corresponding emoji area.

[0050] Based on the user identifier of the user to whom the message belongs, when determining a mapping table in the application's database that characterizes the frequency of use of various emojis by this user and the relationships between those emojis, the application can select the emojis that this user uses most frequently and display them one by one in the emoji area according to their frequency. This personalized emoji presentation method further enhances the user experience.

[0051] It should be noted that in actual application, language type, domain type, and frequency of use for each emoji can each be used independently to determine the order in which emojis are presented. For example, multiple selected waiting emojis in an emoji area may be ordered according to language type only, and then a random selection and combination of several of these may be used as the basis for determining the order in which emojis are presented. Alternatively, multiple selected waiting emojis in an emoji area may be ordered by linking language type and domain type. As those skilled in the art should understand, the specific combination method and the weights corresponding to each ordering basis may be set according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this to specific matters.

[0052] In some embodiments, when a trigger operation is detected for a selected waiting emoji in the emoji area, an emoji feedback area is created at the bottom of the conversation message or the display frame to which the conversation message belongs, and the triggered target emoji is displayed in the emoji feedback area. The emoji feedback area will be explained below with reference to Figure 7.

[0053] Referring to Figure 7, when a user selects a heart emoji in the emoji area to express approval and admiration for message 1 sent by friend A, the application constructs and displays the corresponding emoji feedback area at the bottom of the display frame to which message 1 belongs. Of course, in actual application, the emoji feedback area may also be displayed at the bottom of the conversation message. The embodiments of this disclosure do not limit this to specific matters. After constructing the emoji feedback area, the application further adds the heart emoji selected by the user to the emoji feedback area. It should be noted that because the emoji feedback area constructed by the application is bound to message 1, not only the user corresponding to the client but also friend A can see in the conversation interface that this user is providing feedback with a heart emoji for the message they are sending, and in this manner, the effectiveness of communication between users can be easily and quickly enhanced.

[0054] In some embodiments, when multiple target emojis corresponding to a conversational message are received and the multiple target emojis are different, the multiple target emojis are tiled in the emoji feedback area. The method for tiled display of multiple emojis will be explained below, with reference to Figure 8.

[0055] Referring to Figure 8, when multiple users are communicating in a chat group, it is possible that multiple users may provide feedback on message 1, "I'm happy to have met you," sent by one user. That is, multiple users may long-press the display frame corresponding to the message and select an emoji of their own volition to provide feedback on message 1. For example, the user corresponding to the current client provides feedback on message 1 with a heart emoji, while another user in the group provides feedback on message 1 with a smiley face emoji. In this case, the application similarly constructs and displays a corresponding emoji feedback area at the bottom of the display frame to which the message belongs, and tiled the heart emoji selected by the user corresponding to the client and the smiley face emoji selected by the other user in the emoji feedback area. Similarly, since the emoji feedback area constructed by the application is bound to message 1, any user in the group can see this emoji feedback area and the two emojis within it.

[0056] To explain, when multiple target emojis corresponding to a conversation message are received, and the same target emoji is included in multiple target emojis, the same target emoji is treated as a single target emoji and tiled in the emoji feedback area along with other non-overlapping target emojis.

[0057] Continuing with the above example and referring to Figure 8, the user corresponding to the current client has provided feedback with a heart emoji in response to the message, but several other users in the group have all provided feedback with a smiley face emoji in response to message 1. In this case, to avoid multiple duplicate emojis occupying the limited emoji feedback area, the application displays only one smiley face emoji in the emoji feedback area, and tiles the heart emojis that the current client user has provided feedback with the smiley face emoji.

[0058] In some embodiments, each target emoji is sequentially displayed in the emoji feedback area according to the reception time of each target emoji.

[0059] Continuing with the above example and referring to Figure 8, in the process of multiple users chatting in a group, the user corresponding to the current client is the first to provide feedback on message 1 with a heart emoji. In response, the application displays one heart emoji in the constructed emoji feedback area. Subsequently, when another user in the group provides feedback on message 1 with a smiley face emoji, the application displays one smiley face emoji after the heart emoji in the emoji feedback area. This achieves the effect of displaying emojis provided by multiple users in response to this message, according to the time each emoji was received.

[0060] In some embodiments, the total number of times all target emojis have been presented in conversational messages is displayed at the end of the last target emoji in the emoji feedback area. The process of displaying the total number of presentations is described below, with reference to Figure 9.

[0061] Referring to Figure 9, in a process where multiple users chat within a group, the user corresponding to the current client is the first to provide feedback on message 1 with a heart emoji, and then the other two users in the group both provide feedback on message 1 with smiley face emojis. At this time, the application not only displays one heart emoji and one smiley face emoji in the emoji feedback area according to the time they were received, but also displays the total number of target emojis, 3, at the end of the emoji feedback area. In this manner, users in the group can accurately determine how many users have provided feedback on a message.

[0062] In some embodiments, when it is detected that the emoji feedback area has been triggered, a list page containing multiple display data is popped up, which includes the target emoji and the user identifier corresponding to the target emoji. The process of displaying the list page is described below, with reference to Figure 10.

[0063] For example, after triggering the target emoji feedback area, a page may pop up, which may be a list page. The list page may display the emojis in the emoji feedback area and the corresponding trigger users, and the trigger users may be identified based on a user identifier, such as an avatar used when the user registers an account.

[0064] It should be explained that when the current user provides feedback in response to this conversational message, the emoji triggered by the user and the user identifier may be displayed in the first position.

[0065] It should be explained that the display size of the list page is smaller than the display size of the conversation interface, and the bottom of the list page and the bottom of the conversation interface correspond horizontally. For a concrete example of this implementation, please refer to Figure 10.

[0066] In some embodiments, when a trigger operation is detected again for a selected waiting emoji in the emoji area, the triggered target emoji is updated in the emoji feedback area, and the target emoji corresponding to the previous trigger operation is removed from the emoji feedback area.

[0067] In practical application, when a user provides emoji feedback for this message, they may further modify the emoji they are providing feedback on; that is, a user can only have one emoji feedback for a single conversational message. When a user modifies this emoji feedback, the original emoji feedback can be removed from the emoji feedback area, and the most recently triggered emoji can be displayed in the emoji feedback area.

[0068] In some embodiments, when a double-click of a conversation message is detected, an emoji feedback area is created at the bottom of the conversation message, and a default emoji is added to the emoji feedback area.

[0069] In practical application, to improve the convenience of feedback on conversational messages, a corresponding emoji feed may be set for double-click operations, and the emoji set at this time will be the default emoji. That is, if a double-click is detected on this conversational message and an emoji feedback area does not exist, an emoji feedback area can be created and the default emoji can be displayed in the emoji feedback area.

[0070] The solution of the embodiment of this disclosure displays a conversation message in a conversation interface, detects a trigger operation for the conversation message, and displays an emoji area and a message processing area corresponding to the conversation message when the trigger operation satisfies pre-set conditions. The emoji area and the message processing area are independent of each other and have different display positions in the conversation interface. The emoji area includes at least one selected waiting emoji, and the message processing area includes at least one function control. By differentiating the display of the emoji area and the message processing area, not only are emojis and controls related to various message processing clearly presented to the user, but the problem of multiple emojis or controls being piled up and concentrated in a single control or small area is solved, simplifying the operation logic in the message processing process by the user, making it convenient to quickly provide feedback or process messages, and improving the user experience.

[0097] In some embodiments, the message processing device further includes an emoji feedback area update module.

[0098] The emoji feedback area update module is used to update the emoji feedback area with the triggered target emoji and remove the target emoji corresponding to the previous trigger operation from the emoji feedback area when it detects a trigger operation again for a selected waiting emoji in the emoji area.

[0099] In some embodiments, the message processing unit further includes a default emoji addition module.

[0100] The default emoji addition module is used to create an emoji feedback area at the bottom of the conversation message and add a default emoji to the emoji feedback area when it detects that the conversation message has been double-clicked.

[0101] In this embodiment, the solution involves displaying conversational messages in the conversation interface, detecting trigger operations for conversational messages, and displaying an emoji area and a message processing area corresponding to the conversational message when the trigger operation satisfies pre-set conditions. The emoji area and the message processing area are independent of each other and have different display positions in the conversation interface. The emoji area includes at least one selected waiting emoji, and the message processing area includes at least one function control. By differentiating the display of the emoji area and the message processing area, the system not only clearly presents emojis and controls related to various message processing to the user, but also solves the problem of multiple emojis or controls being piled up and concentrated in a single control or small area. This simplifies the user's operational logic in the message processing process, facilitates quick feedback or processing of messages, and improves the user experience.
