[0016] It should be understood that the steps described in the embodiments of the method of this disclosure may be performed in a different order and / or in parallel. Furthermore, embodiments of the method may include additional steps and / or omit the performance of the indicated steps. The scope of this disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0017] As used herein, the technical term "comprising" and its variations are open-ended inclusion, meaning "including but not limited to". The technical term "based on" means "at least partially based on". The technical term "an embodiment" represents "at least one embodiment", the technical term "another embodiment" represents "at least one another embodiment", and the technical term "some embodiments" represents "at least some embodiments". Related definitions of other terms will be described hereinafter.

[0018] It should be noted that the concepts such as "first", "second", etc. mentioned in this disclosure are only for distinguishing different devices, modules, or units, and are not for limiting the order or interdependence of the functions executed by these devices, modules, or units.

[0019] It should be noted that the modifiers "one" and "a plurality of" mentioned in this disclosure are not limiting but exemplary, and those skilled in the art should understand that, unless otherwise explicitly indicated in the context, it should be understood as "one or more".

[0020] The names of messages or information that interact between multiple devices in the embodiments of this disclosure are only for the purpose of explanation and are not for limiting the scope of these messages or information.

[0021] Referring to FIG. 1, a flow of an embodiment of the interaction method according to this disclosure is shown, and it is exemplarily described by taking message transfer as an example. As shown in FIG. 1, the interaction method includes the following steps 101 and step 102.

[0022] In step 101, an interaction request for transferring a target message is received on the interaction information presentation page.

[0023] The interaction information display page referred to here may be a page displaying user interaction information shown in an instant messaging tool, or it may be an interaction information display page shown in a browser.

[0024] The target message referred to here may be any message within the interaction information.

[0025] An interaction request can be issued to an executing entity that performs an interaction method to transfer a target message. For example, a user can issue the above interaction request to the executing entity by performing a predetermined information transfer operation on the target message.

[0026] The above-mentioned predetermined information transfer operation may be any of the following information transfer operations. For example, when the user right-clicks the target message, information transfer options are displayed. This is the selection operation performed by the user on the information transfer options.

[0027] The above information transfer options may include an option that instructs the transfer of a single message, or an option that instructs the transfer of multiple messages.

[0028] If the user selects the option to transfer a single message, it can be determined that the interaction request is for transferring a single message. If the user selects the option to transfer multiple messages, it can be determined that the interaction request is for transferring multiple messages.

[0029] In step 102, in response to determining that the interaction request transfers multiple messages, the system determines at least one associated message of the target message and transfers the target message and the at least one associated message.

[0030] After receiving the above interaction request information, at least one related message related to the target message in the interaction information can be determined in various ways.

[0031] In some selectable embodiments, the related message may be, for example, a message that is in a reply relationship with the target message.

[0032] In these selectable embodiments, step 102 includes a substep 1021 in which, in response to determining that the interaction request transfers multiple messages, at least one associated message of the target message is determined based on the reply relationships between the messages.

[0033] The entity executing the interaction method can, based on the determined interaction request which forwards multiple messages, search for multiple candidate messages that have reply relationships between messages on the page, and further determine multiple related messages that have a reply relationship with the target message from among the multiple candidate messages.

[0034] In another embodiment, it is possible to determine in real time or periodically whether a sent message is in a reply relationship with a target message.

[0035] In some application scenarios, at least one of the associated messages includes an initial message replied to by the target message. In these application scenarios, the initial message can be determined as the associated message of the target message based on the reply relationship in which the target message replies to the initial message.

[0036] In several other application scenarios, at least one of the related messages mentioned above includes a reply message that responds to the target message. In these application scenarios, the reply message can be determined as the related message of the target message based on the reply relationship that responds to the target message.

[0037] In one embodiment, the entity executing the interaction method or another electronic device that establishes a communication connection with the entity executing it may pre-store each message on the page, and also pre-store the reply relationships between each message.

[0038] In such embodiments, substep 1021 may include the step of determining at least one associated message of the target message based on a pre-stored reply relationship.

[0039] The pre-stored reply relationships described above are obtained based on the step of determining reply relationships, including direct and / or indirect reply relationships between messages, based on the message reply operation.

[0040] In other words, if it is detected that a user is performing a message reply operation, the relationship between the current reply message and the original message being replied to can be determined as a reply relationship. The original message and the reply message referenced by the reply operation are directly related by a reply relationship.

[0041] If the message being replied to is a past reply to another message, the relationship between the current reply message and the aforementioned other message is determined to be an indirect reply relationship.

[0042] After determining the reply relationship between messages based on the message reply operation, the reply relationship between messages can be stored. The reply relationship may be stored in the memory space of the executing entity, or it may be stored on another electronic device with which a communication connection has been established with the executing entity.

[0043] After receiving a request to forward the above-mentioned multiple messages to the target message, at least one related message of the target message can be determined from the reply relationships pre-stored in the executing entity or other electronic device with which a communication connection is established.

[0044] In some selectable embodiments, the multiple messages displayed on the page are stored in a message list. In the message list, each message corresponds to a first message identifier and a second message identifier, where the first message identifier of a message is for indicating that message, and the second message identifier is for indicating the first message identifier of a message replied to by that message, and the step of determining at least one related message of the target message based on the reply relationships between messages includes determining at least one related message in the message list that is in a direct or indirect reply relationship with the target message based on the second message identifier of each of the multiple messages.

[0045] In these selectable embodiments, the implementing entity can perform the following search operations in the message list.

[0046] First, determine the direct and indirect reply messages to respond to the target message.

[0047] In one embodiment, direct reply messages and indirect reply messages to be sent in response to the target message can be determined based on the first message identifier information of the target message and the first and second message identifier information of other messages.

[0048] First, the first message identifier of the target message is determined. Then, in the message list, a first other message is searched for whose second message identifier points to the first message identifier of the target message. This first other message is determined as the first related message, which has a first direct reply relationship with the target message. Next, the first message identifier of the first related message is determined. Then, in the message list, a second other message is searched for whose second message identifier points to the first message identifier of the first related message. This second other message is determined as the second related message, which has a first indirect reply relationship with the target message. After that, the first message identifier of the second related message is determined. Then, in the message list, a third other message is searched for whose second message identifier points to the first message identifier of the second related message. This third other message is determined as the third related message, which has a second indirect reply relationship with the target message. This process is repeated until all indirect reply messages that provide indirect replies to the target message are found.

[0049] Secondly, we determine which messages will receive a direct reply from the target message, and which will receive an indirect reply.

[0050] In some embodiments, based on the second message identifier information of the target message, and the second and first message identifier information of other messages, it is possible to determine which messages the target message will reply to directly and which messages the target message will reply to indirectly.

[0051] Specifically, the message indicated by the second message identifier of the target message is determined to be the message to be replied to directly.

[0052] The message indicated by the second message identifier of the direct reply message is determined to be the first indirect reply message.

[0053] The message indicated by the second message identifier of the first indirect reply target message is determined as the second indirect reply target message, and this process is repeated until all indirect reply target messages that have received indirect replies from the target message are found.

[0054] In another optional embodiment, at least one associated message of the target message is a message belonging to the same topic as the target message.

[0055] Different users can interact with the same topic through message interactions within that topic. If one of the interaction messages within that topic is designated as the target message, then at least one of the other messages corresponding to the message interactions within that topic can be designated as an associated message of the target message.

[0056] In some application scenarios, multiple messages on the same topic, including the target message, can be displayed on a topic message page or on related pages of that topic message page. In these application scenarios, other messages related to that topic message page can be considered related messages to the target message.

[0057] The target message and the at least one associated message can be forwarded to the target user indicated by the interaction request.

[0058] The interaction method provided by the above embodiments of this disclosure receives an interaction request for transferring a target message on an interaction information presentation page, determines at least one related message of the target message based on the interaction request, and transfers the target message and the at least one related message, thereby enabling the transfer of a target message and at least one related message based on a single transfer interaction request. Compared to a method in which a user transfers multiple related messages, where each related message is searched for and selected before transferring, this solution automatically determines the related messages of the target message and automatically transfers the target message along with the related messages during transfer, thereby reducing the number of transfer operations that require the user to transfer multiple related messages and improving the user experience.

[0059] Referring to Figure 2, a flowchart of another embodiment of the interaction method according to this disclosure is shown. As shown in Figure 2, the interaction method includes the following steps 201 and 202.

[0060] Step 201 receives an interaction request issued by a user trigger operation on the transfer control on the interaction information presentation page, and the interaction request is for transferring a target message.

[0061] In this embodiment, a transfer control corresponding to the target message can be presented on the interaction information presentation page. This transfer control is used to instruct the transfer of multiple messages. For example, a user can perform a trigger operation on the transfer control and then transfer the message corresponding to the transfer control.

[0062] It is understandable that the above interaction information presentation page may also present other forwarding controls for instructing the forwarding of a single message.

[0063] In this embodiment, the user can issue an interaction request to the execution entity that executes the interaction method to transfer the target message by performing a trigger operation on the transfer control.

[0064] In some selectable embodiments, the page described above also includes other messages in addition to the target message and the associated messages of the target message. In these application scenarios, the forwarding control is located at the relevant position of the target message and / or the associated messages of the target message.

[0065] The relevant position referred to here may be, for example, above, below, to the left, or to the right of the message, preferably to the right, upper right, or lower right of the message, and may also be displayed in the upper left or lower left of the message depending on user settings.

[0066] In some application scenarios, the related message may be a reply message to the target message, and the presentation area of ​​the related message may contain at least a portion of the target message. The forwarding may be provided at a relevant position within the presentation area of ​​the related message.

[0067] It is understandable that the above forwarding control may be presented in response to the detection of a predetermined trigger operation performed by the user on the target message and / or related messages of the target message.

[0068] The specified trigger operation referred to herein may include, but is not limited to, trigger operations such as clicks and touches.

[0069] Referring to Figure 3, the interaction information presentation page 30 in Figure 3 may contain multiple messages A, B, B-3, and C, where B and B-3 may be related messages. B may be the target message. The first presentation area 31 is the presentation area for related message B-3 of target message B. A portion of the target message can be presented in the first presentation area.

[0070] The transfer control 32 may be located to the right of the target message B. It may also be located to the right of the first presentation area 31. When a user performs a trigger operation on the transfer control, an interaction request for transferring the target message can be triggered.

[0071] In several other selectable embodiments, the interaction information presentation page includes a detailed information presentation screen. The transfer control is presented in a first predetermined area of ​​the detailed information presentation screen.

[0072] The detailed information display screen for the related information mentioned above shows the target message and detailed information for at least one related message within the target message.

[0073] The detailed information display screen is opened based on the step of presenting the detailed page of the related information, which is triggered when the user performs a predetermined operation on a predetermined identifier corresponding to a target message or related message on the first information interaction screen.

[0074] The specified identifiers referred to herein may include, for example, an identifier for indicating that a target message has a reply message, or an identifier for indicating that a related message is a reply message to a target message.

[0075] The first predetermined operation includes, but is not limited to, clicks, touches, etc.

[0076] In one embodiment, the transfer control is presented in a first predetermined area of ​​the detailed presentation screen.

[0077] In this embodiment, the transfer control may be displayed on the detailed presentation screen. The first predetermined area may be any pre-set area. For example, it may be the top of the detailed presentation page.

[0078] Referring to Figure 4, the interaction information presentation page 40 in Figure 4 may be a detailed presentation page, and the interaction information presentation page 40 may include B, B-1, B-2, and B-3. Here, B, B-1, B-2, and B-3 may be related messages. B may be a target message. The transfer control 41 is displayed in the upper right part of the interaction information presentation page 40. When a user performs a trigger operation on the transfer control 41, they can issue the interaction request.

[0079] In step 202, based on the interaction request, at least one related message of the target message is determined, and the target message and the at least one related message are forwarded.

[0080] In this embodiment, various methods for determining related messages can be employed to determine at least one related message for the target message.

[0081] For an explanation of determining at least one related message of the target message in step 202 above, please refer to the related explanation of step 102 in the embodiment shown in Figure 1, which will be omitted here.

[0082] The above target message and at least one related message can be forwarded to the target user indicated by the interaction request. It is understood that the target user is not limited to a single user.

[0083] Compared to the interaction method provided by the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the method provided by this embodiment emphasizes the step of presenting transfer controls on the interaction information presentation page and simplifies the user's actions for transferring the target message and at least one related message.

[0084] In some select embodiments of the interaction method provided by this disclosure, step 102 of the embodiment shown in Figure 1 and step 202 of the embodiment shown in Figure 2 further include the step of determining identifier information based on the target message and the at least one related message, wherein the identifier information is for indicating attribute information of the target message and the at least one related message.

[0085] The above identifier information facilitates the identification and management of the forwarded target message and the at least one associated message.

[0086] The above identifier information can display the forwarded target message and at least one associated message of the target message to the receiving user's client. This helps the receiving user to quickly understand the forwarded message.

[0087] The attribute information includes session user information and / or session topic information for the session in which the target message and the related message reside.

[0088] The session information described above includes at least one of the following: sender and / or recipient information of the target message; sender and / or recipient information of the related information; and group chat name information if the session is a group chat.

[0089] The session topic information described above may include predetermined message characters within the target message and the related messages, for example, the characters of the initial message in a set of multiple reply messages. In other words, each of these multiple messages is either a direct or indirect reply to the initial message, thereby facilitating the user to understand the topic being discussed in the multiple reply messages.

[0090] In these optional embodiments, assigning identifier information to the forwarded target message and at least one associated message facilitates the recipient user's ability to quickly understand the forwarded message, while also facilitating the management of the forwarded message.

[0091] In some select embodiments of the interaction methods provided by this disclosure, the target message and the at least one associated message include a first message to be processed that is to be formatted to at least one. The first message to be processed may include, but is not limited to, a schedule card, a card message, lucky money, a general calendar service, a video call message, etc.

[0092] In these selectable embodiments, step 102 of the embodiment shown in Figure 1 and step 202 of the embodiment shown in Figure 2 further include the following steps:

[0093] First, based on the interaction request, the format of the first message to be processed is converted according to a pre-configured format conversion rule.

[0094] Since the first message to be processed cannot be sent without converting its format, after receiving the interaction request, the format of the first message to be processed (either the target message or the message to be processed) can be converted first, and then the message can be forwarded. For example, if the first message to be processed is a lucky money message, the lucky money message can be processed as a predetermined number of fields. These predetermined fields include text fields that characterize the message as a lucky money message. Predetermined symbols can be used in fields other than the text fields.

[0095] Next, when transferring the target message and the at least one associated message, the first processing target message after format conversion is transferred.

[0096] In this way, when transferring the target message and the at least one associated message, the first message to be processed after format conversion can be transferred to the first message to be processed.

[0097] In these selectable embodiments, the format of the first message to be processed, which requires format conversion, can be converted before being transmitted along with the target message and the other messages among the at least one related message, thereby maintaining message integrity. Furthermore, transmitting the first message to be processed after format conversion can reduce the amount of data transmitted.

[0098] In some select embodiments of the interaction method provided by this disclosure, the at least one associated message includes at least one non-transferable second target message. The non-transferable message may be, for example, a message withdrawn by the user who sent the message.

[0099] In these selectable embodiments, step 102 of the embodiment shown in Figure 1 and step 202 of the embodiment shown in Figure 2 further include the step of forwarding other messages other than the second target message.

[0100] In these selectable embodiments, non-transferable messages among the target message and at least one associated message of the target message are filtered out. As a result, all transferred messages are valid messages.

[0101] Referring to Figure 5, a flowchart of one embodiment of the interaction method according to the present disclosure is shown. As shown in Figure 5, the interaction method includes the following steps 501, 502, and 503.

[0102] In step 501, a message processing operation is received, and if the message displayed on the page meets predetermined conditions, a predetermined message processing control is displayed. The predetermined conditions include that the number of messages currently displayed on the page is greater than a predetermined number, and / or that the currently selected message is in a reply relationship with other messages.

[0103] In step 502, a selection of messages is determined based on the trigger to the message processing control. The selection of messages includes a predetermined number of messages, or messages that have a reply relationship with the currently selected message.

[0104] The above message processing operations may include, but are not limited to, selection operations, forwarding operations, etc.

[0105] The entity executing the above interaction method can receive a message processing operation performed by the user on the page and determine whether the message displayed on the page satisfies predetermined conditions. That is, upon receiving an information selection operation performed by the user on the page, it can determine whether the number of messages currently displayed on the page is greater than a predetermined number. If the number of currently displayed messages is greater than a predetermined number, it determines that the message displayed on the page satisfies predetermined conditions. Alternatively, upon receiving an information selection operation performed by the user on the page, it can determine whether the message currently selected on the page is in a reply relationship with other messages. If it is determined that the currently selected message on the page is in a reply relationship with other messages, it determines that the message displayed on the page satisfies predetermined conditions. Furthermore, or, upon receiving an information selection operation performed by the user on the page, it can determine whether the number of messages currently displayed on the page is greater than a predetermined number, and whether the currently selected message is in a reply relationship with other messages. If it is determined that the number of messages currently displayed on the page is greater than a predetermined number and the currently selected message is in a reply relationship with other messages, it determines that the message displayed on the page satisfies n predetermined conditions.

[0106] The predetermined number referred to here may be any integer greater than 1. For example, it could be 5, 10, etc. The predetermined number can be set according to the specific application scenario and is not restricted here.

[0107] If the message displayed on the page meets certain conditions, a predetermined message processing control can be displayed. In these application scenarios, the predetermined message processing control can be used to select multiple messages.

[0108] Triggers for message processing controls may include, for example, operations such as clicking or dragging / scrolling on the message processing control.

[0109] A single trigger on the message processing control allows for the simultaneous selection of multiple messages.

[0110] Selectively, the trigger to the message processing control may include a drag-scroll operation on the message processing control. Step 502 may also include the step of determining a predetermined number of messages, which are selected by the trigger to the message processing control, in response to the number of messages selected based on the trigger to the message processing control being greater than a predetermined number, and setting the message corresponding to the trigger start time as the start message.

[0111] Furthermore, the step of selecting a predetermined number of messages from the message corresponding to the trigger start time as the plurality of messages selected by the trigger to the message processing control includes the step of selecting a predetermined number of messages from the message corresponding to the trigger start time in the order of selection instructed by the trigger operation performed on the message processing control.

[0112] The trigger start time referred to here is the time when the start of the trigger operation is detected.

[0113] Determining a predetermined number of messages from the messages corresponding to the trigger start time means selecting a predetermined number of messages according to the selection order instructed by the trigger operation performed on the message processing control.

[0114] Here, the selection order instructed by the trigger operation performed on the message processing control may include ascending order of message reception time from the start message, or descending order of message reception time from the start message.

[0115] In other words, if there are more messages associated with a single trigger for a message than a predetermined number, the system automatically determines a predetermined number of messages from the messages corresponding to the start time of the trigger operation, and these can be selected as multiple messages by the trigger to the message processing control.

[0116] More selectively, the interaction method further includes the step of displaying notification information to notify the message processing control that the number of messages related to the trigger exceeds a predetermined number.

[0117] In some optional embodiments, the interaction method further includes the step of displaying a message quick action control on the page, which is used to highlight the last of the selected messages on the current page based on a user trigger action.

[0118] In these selectable embodiments, trigger operations such as clicks and touches can be performed on the message quick action controls. Upon receiving such trigger operations performed on the message quick action controls, the messages currently displayed on the page can be adjusted to show the last message of the messages selected by the information selection operation, and the messages adjacent to that last message. Furthermore, the last message of the messages selected by the information selection operation is highlighted. Highlighting may be, for example, by setting the background color of the last message to be different from the background color of the other messages.

[0119] In step 503, the processing instructed by the message processing operation is executed for the selected multiple messages.

[0120] For the multiple messages selected above, the processing instructed by the message processing operation can be executed.

[0121] A message processing operation may also be an information selection operation, in which case the operation instructed by the message processing operation is to select multiple selected messages.

[0122] A message processing operation may also be a forwarding operation, in which case the action instructed by the message processing operation is to forward a selection of messages.
