[0027] To further clarify the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure, the disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, along with specific embodiments.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in the embodiments of this disclosure have the general meanings understood by those skilled in the art. The terms “first,” “second,” and similar terms used in the embodiments of this disclosure do not indicate any order, number, or importance, but merely distinguish different components. Similar terms such as “include” or “incorporate” mean that the element or object preceding the term encompasses the elements or objects and their equivalents listed after the term without excluding other elements or objects. Similar terms such as “connected” or “linked” may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect, and are not limited to physical or mechanical connections. Terms such as “up,” “down,” “left,” and “right” merely describe relative positions, and these relative positions may change if the absolute position of the object being described changes.

[0029] As explained in the background technology section, in multi-person interactive scenarios such as instant sessions, live broadcasts, and video conferences, users can enable interaction by sending messages that may include one or more combinations of text messages, pictures, videos, and files within a single-target chat or group chat session.

[0030] To make it user-friendly, the multi-person interactive scenes described above typically offer features such as copy, transfer, download, screenshot, and screen recording, allowing users to save single-person or group chat messages locally or share them with other pages or users.

[0031] However, in some scenarios, users do not want the content of messages within a session to be propagated outside of that session, and instead want to protect those messages within the session.

[0032] Therefore, embodiments of this disclosure provide a method for processing session information that can protect a session in order to prevent messages from being propagated within that session.

[0033] Figure 1 is a flowchart of an exemplary method provided by the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0034] As shown in Figure 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for processing session information, which includes the following steps.

[0035] In step S101, a first operation is accepted for the first session. The first operation is used to propagate the contents of the first session to an outside session, and the first session is set as a first type of session.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first session may be a session associated with user A's first user account in the communication system, and the session interface of the first session is the session interface of the first session that user A views and uses through their first user account. The communication group corresponding to the first session may include other user accounts of other users in addition to user A's first user account, and there may be one or more other user accounts. If there is only one other user account, the communication group corresponding to the first session is a single-target chat session, and if there are multiple other user accounts, the communication group corresponding to the first session is a group chat session.

[0037] Both the first user account and other user accounts can send messages to the communication group corresponding to the first session to enable communication between users. When the first user account or other user accounts send a message to the communication group, the message can be displayed in the session interface of the first session, and user A can then view the message on the session interface of the first session.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first session may first be set as a first-type session. Here, a first-type session refers to a session that satisfies the requirement that the contents of the session cannot be propagated outside the session. In other words, if the first session is set as a first-type session, it is necessary to keep the information within the first session confidential, meaning that the first session is set to a secret group.

[0039] Here, the first operation may include at least one of copy, transfer, download, screenshot, or screen recording, and the content of the first session can be propagated outside the first session by means of copying, transferring, or downloading messages in the first session, or by means of taking a screenshot or screen recording of the first session.

[0040] Typically, only one operation can be performed simultaneously on a single first message: copy, transfer, download, screenshot, or screen recording. When the first session includes text messages or emoticon messages, copy and transfer operations can be performed on the text messages in the first session. When the first session includes files, such as picture files, video files, or text files, operations such as downloading can be performed on the files in the first session. Furthermore, operations such as screenshots and screen recordings may be performed on the entire session interface of the first session, but this embodiment is not limited to these.

[0041] When a first operation is performed on a first session, the message content of the first session can be propagated outside of the first session based on the first operation. For example, messages in the first session can be sent to another session or system by forwarding, or messages in the first session can be saved locally by operations such as copying, downloading, taking screenshots, or recording the screen, and then further forwarded to other sessions or systems. This embodiment is not limited to this.

[0042] In step S103, a second operation is performed to block the first operation.

[0043] In this embodiment, since the first session is already set to a first type session, when a first operation is received for the first session, a second operation is executed to block the first operation. Therefore, the first operation cannot be successfully executed for the first session, thus preventing the message content in the first session from being propagated outside the first session and protecting the message content in the first session.

[0044] In this embodiment, if it is necessary to protect the message content of the first session, the first session can first be set as a first type session. If the first session is already set as a first type session, and a user performs a first operation on the first session to propagate the contents of the first session outside of the first session, a second operation is performed to block the first operation. As a result, the user is unable to successfully perform the first operation on the first session, thus preventing the message content of the first session from being propagated outside of the first session and achieving protection for the message content of the first session.

[0045] In some embodiments, the method further includes setting the first session as a first type session in response to receiving a first setting operation for a first type member of the first session.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first session can be configured as a first type session by a configuration operation performed on the first session by a first type member of the first session. Here, the first type member of the first session may be a member who has configuration privileges in the first session, for example, the group master or group administrator of the first session. Here, the group master or group administrator of the first session can perform the first configuration operation through the configuration page of the first session, and therefore, based on the first configuration operation. Here, the settings page may be, for example, a group management page, and this settings page can be used to set permissions for the first session, for example, which group members can pin messages and group announcements to the top, and which group members can post in this group.

[0047] The settings page includes settings controls for performing the first setting operation, and the first setting operation based on these settings controls sets the first session as a first type session.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first configuration operation includes one or more of the following: not allowing message copying, not allowing message forwarding, not allowing file downloads (which may include picture files, video files, text files, etc.), not allowing screenshots, and not allowing screen recording. The above-described first configuration operations may be implemented together or separately according to the needs of the members, but this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0049] In some other embodiments, the first configuration operation does not allow operations such as copying, transferring, downloading, taking screenshots, or screen recording if the messages in the first session contain predetermined important content (e.g., keywords or key information). In this way, it is possible to determine whether or not the keywords are present in the text messages in the first session. Alternatively, it is possible to determine whether or not the text messages in the first session have the same meaning as the key information by using methods such as semantic recognition. Or, it is possible to recognize picture files, video files, or text files in the first session using methods such as image recognition, and determine whether or not the keywords are present in the recognition result information, or whether the meaning of the recognition result information is the same as the meaning of the key information. If the messages in the first session contain these keywords or key information, operations such as copying, transferring, downloading, taking screenshots, or screen recording are not allowed for the first session.

[0050] In some embodiments, the method further includes sending a first system message visible to all in the first session in response to receiving the first setup operation, the first system message indicating that the first session is set up as a first type of session.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the first session receives a first configuration operation performed by a user on the first session, the first session generates a first system message based on the first configuration operation and sends the first system message to the first session or each member in the first session, so that each member in the first session knows that the first operation is not permitted for the first session, thereby avoiding user misunderstanding. For example, if a group administrator configures the first session not to allow message forwarding, the first system message may say, "The current group chat does not allow message forwarding."

[0052] In some embodiments, the method further includes, in response to the addition of a new member to the first session, sending a second system message in the first session that is visible only to the new member, the second system message indicating that the first session is set up as a first type session.

[0053] In this embodiment, after the first session has been set up as a first type session, if a new member joins the first session, the first session generates a second system message and sends it to the new member to avoid any misunderstanding. This allows the new member to be informed that the first session is already set up as a first type session.

[0054] In some embodiments, step S103 involves performing a second operation to block the first operation, which includes the following steps:

[0055] In step S201, in response to receiving the first operation for the first session, the system responds to the first operation.

[0056] In step S203, a third system message is generated based on the operation information of the first operation and the member information that performs the first operation, and the third system message is sent to the other members of the first session.

[0057] In some scenarios or on some platforms, due to technical constraints or user needs, when a first session receives a first operation, it may be impossible or difficult to generate a response result in response to that first operation. For example, on platforms such as iOS, it is not possible to prevent user operations such as taking screenshots or recording the screen. In this case, when the first session receives a first operation for that operation, it can respond to the first operation successfully, for example, by successfully performing operations such as copying or forwarding a message, downloading a file, taking a screenshot or recording the screen, and generating a response operation result. It can also generate a third system message based on the operation information of the first operation, such as taking a screenshot or recording the screen, and the member information performing the first operation, and send this generated third system message to other members of the first session. These other members of the first session may be only members of the first type of first session, i.e., only group masters or group administrators, or all members other than the member performing the first operation, or they may be pre-configured designated group members, and this embodiment is not limited thereto. This allows the system to send information about the member performing the first operation (e.g., the member's group nickname) and operation information (e.g., whether the member took a screenshot or recorded the screen, or the content and scope of the screenshot or screen recording) to other members, thereby protecting messages during the first session.

[0058] In some embodiments, in step S103, performing a second operation to block the first operation may further include blocking the execution of a first operation command in response to receiving a first operation command for the first operation in the first session, the first operation command being generated by a shortcut key or third-party software.

[0059] In related technologies, the first operation can be performed using shortcut keys or third-party software. For example, shortcut keys can be used to perform operations such as taking screenshots or recording the screen for the first session, or third-party software such as software other than the software on which the first session resides that has screenshot or screen recording capabilities, or an operating system platform that provides screenshot or screen recording capabilities, can be used to perform operations such as taking screenshots or recording the screen.

[0060] In this case, when a user performs a first operation on the first session, such as taking a screenshot or recording the screen, via a shortcut key or third-party software, a first operation command for that first operation is generated and sent to the first session, and at this time the first session against Then, a second operation is performed to prevent the execution of the first operation instruction. In other words, in this embodiment, by blocking the first operation instruction based on the first operation, the first session becomes unable to respond to the first operation and is unable to generate an operation result from the first operation, thereby protecting the first message in the first session.

[0061] In some embodiments, in step S103, performing a second operation to block the first operation includes occluding or blurring the first session and executing the second operation command in response to receiving a second operation command to perform the first operation on the first session, the second operation command being generated by a shortcut key or third-party software.

[0062] In this embodiment, when a user performs a first operation on the first session, such as taking a screenshot or recording the screen, using a shortcut key or third-party software, a second operation command is generated for the first operation and sent to the first session. In this embodiment, first, the first session is obscured by a pre-set image or blurred using a predetermined method, such as a mosaic, and then the second operation command is executed. In this case, since the first session is already obscured or blurred when the second operation command is executed, even if the second operation command is executed and the operation result is generated, the message content in the first session will not be propagated outside the first session because the first session is already obscured or blurred in the screen-captured image or the video obtained by the screen recording. This protects the first message in the first session.

[0063] When the first session is obscured by a pre-set image, for example, displaying information such as "Message protection mode is on, and group chat content will be automatically hidden during screenshots / screen recordings" on the pre-set image allows the user to easily understand that this is due to message protection, thus avoiding user misunderstanding.

[0064] In some embodiments, in step S103, performing a second operation to block the first operation includes obtaining a first control for performing the first operation in the first session and setting the first control to an inoperable state.

[0065] In related technologies, the first session contains a first control for performing a first operation. When the mouse is temporarily placed over a message or the location of a message is touched and clicked, a control for transferring the message appears. When the message is clicked with the right mouse button or the location of a message is touched and clicked, a control for copying the message appears. If the message is a text file, a control for downloading the file appears on a file card displayed in the first session. The input window of the first session contains controls for taking screenshots and recording the screen, etc. In related technologies, other first controls for performing a first operation may exist in different interactive scenes or on different platforms, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0066] In this embodiment, the first control for realizing the first operation described above can be set to an inoperable state, thereby preventing the first operation from being performed on the first session. Here, by setting the first control to an inoperable state, the inoperable first control can still be displayed on the first session, and the first control will not respond only when triggered by a click or touch operation. Alternatively, the icon of the first control can be processed to mark that the first control is in an inoperable state, or the first control can be directly hidden during the first session, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0067] In this embodiment, by setting the first control, which enables operations such as copying, transferring, downloading, taking screenshots, and screen recording, to an inoperable state, when a user wants to perform operations such as copying, transferring, downloading, taking screenshots, or screen recording, the first control for performing these operations cannot be operated, thus preventing the above functions from being realized. This prevents the message content in the first session from being propagated outside the first session, thereby protecting the security of the message content in the first session.

[0068] In some embodiments, the method further includes displaying first presentation information at a first preset location in the first session, the first presentation information being used to indicate that the first operation cannot be performed in the first session, and the first preset location being adjacent to the location of the first control in the first session.

[0069] In this embodiment, the first information can be displayed at a first preset position in the first session while the first control is set to an inoperable state. The first information is used to indicate that the first operation cannot be performed in the first session. For example, if the first control is a control for performing a transfer operation, the first information message may be "Message protection mode is on, and message transfer is prohibited." When the first control set to an inoperable state is displayed in the first session, the first information can be displayed in synchronization with the first session. Alternatively, the first information may be displayed only when the user's mouse is temporarily placed over the first control set to an inoperable state, or when the user attempts to trigger the first control set to an inoperable state. This embodiment is not limited to this.

[0070] In this embodiment, the first preset position is adjacent to the position of the first control in the first session, thereby allowing the user to easily recognize that the first presentation information is presentation information for the first control.

[0071] In some embodiments, the method further includes displaying the first message in a first list in response to the acceptance of a third operation for the first message in the first session, and performing a second operation in step S103 to block the first operation includes obtaining a second control in the first list for performing the first operation for the first message and setting the second control to an inoperable state.

[0072] In related technologies, a user performs a third operation on a first message in a first session, and the first message after the third operation is displayed in a first list, which still contains a second control for performing the first operation. For example, the third operation may be an operation such as adding to favorites, and the first list may be a favorites list. When a user adds a first message in a first session to favorites, the favorited first message can be displayed in a favorites list, which still contains a control for forwarding the first message. In this embodiment, in order to prevent messages in the first session from propagating outside the first session, the second control in the favorites list can also be set to an inoperable state, thereby preventing the message content of the first session from propagating outside the first session even while it is in the first list, and thus protecting the security of the message content in the first session.

[0073] In some embodiments, the method further includes displaying a picture management window in response to receiving a trigger operation on a picture file in the first session, and performing a second operation in step S103 to block the first operation, which includes obtaining a third control in the picture management window for performing the first operation on the picture file and setting the third control to an inoperable state.

[0074] In related technologies, if picture files exist during the first session, such as picture files sent via message or picture files included in card messages, the user can trigger an operation on the picture file to display a picture management window in the first session, enabling management operations on the picture file, such as zooming in, zooming out, downloading, and editing.

[0075] The picture management window still includes a third control for performing the first operation, such as a download control for performing a download operation. In this embodiment, in order to prevent picture files in the first session from propagating outside the first session, the third control in the picture management window can also be set to an inoperable state. In this way, even within the picture management window, the message content of the first session cannot be propagated outside the first session, and the security of the message content in the first session is protected.

[0076] In some embodiments, the method further includes setting the first session as a first type session in response to a second setting operation of a first type member of the first session for the first session, and responding to the first operation in the first session in response to receiving the first operation of a first type member of the first session for the first session.

[0077] In some cases, it may be necessary to prevent other members in the first session from propagating the message content of the first session. However, in special cases, some members in the first session, such as a group master or group administrator, may need to perform a first operation on the first session, such as copying a message, forwarding a message, downloading a file, taking a screenshot, or recording the screen. In this case, the first type of member, such as a group master or group administrator, can set the first session as a first type session, and at the same time, set it so that the first type of member, such as a group master or group administrator, is not affected by the setting operation. That is, when a first type of member, such as a group master or group administrator, performs a first operation on the first session, the first session generates an operation result in response to the first operation.

[0078] In some embodiments, the first window is displayed above the first session before the first operation on the first session is accepted, and in response to the acceptance of the first operation on the first window, the second operation is performed on the first session to block the first operation.

[0079] In some embodiments, a first window is displayed on top of a first session, and this first window may be a third-party software window, and at least a portion of the first session is not obscured by the first window. In this case, if a user performs a first operation such as taking a screenshot or screen recording on the first window, a second operation can be performed on the first session to prevent the first operation from being screenshotted or screen recorded, for example, by obscuring or blurring the first session. In this way, the user's normal screenshot and screen recording operations on other windows are not affected, and the security of the message content in the first session is protected.

[0080] Figure 2 is an exemplary schematic diagram of 100 provided by the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0081] As shown in Figure 2, the system 100 may include a first terminal 102, a server 104, and a second terminal 106. Here, the first terminal 102 and the second terminal 106 are merely distinguishing devices and do not represent the number of devices in the application scenario; in actual applications, there may be multiple devices. The first terminal 102 or the second terminal 106 includes, but is not limited to, desktop computers, mobile phones, mobile computers, tablet computers, media players, smart wearable devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and other electronic devices capable of performing the above functions.

[0082] In some embodiments, the system 100 can be applied to multi-person dialogue scenes, such as instant session scenes, live scenes, and video conferencing scenes. Taking an instant communication session scene as an example, the server 104 is used to provide an instant session service, where the first terminal 102 / second terminal 106 are terminals corresponding to users who chat or communicate in the instant communication session scene, and each of them has a client installed for communicating with the second terminal 106 / first terminal 102, and the user can enter a multi-person dialogue scene, such as a multi-person chat scene, through the client.

[0083] In some embodiments, when the system 100 is applied to a single-target chat scene, there is one first terminal 102 and one second terminal 106. When the system 100 is applied to a group chat scene, there may be multiple second terminals 106.

[0084] Server 104 may be a single server or multiple servers. In a scenario with multiple servers, a distributed architecture can be adopted between these servers, and a server cluster can be formed.

[0085] The first terminal 102 and the second terminal 106 may be any terminal device, for example, a mobile terminal (e.g., a mobile phone, a tablet computer (Pad)) or a fixed terminal (e.g., a personal computer (PC), a notebook computer). The first terminal 102 and the second terminal 106 can run application programs and, through these application programs, can provide corresponding services, such as chat services, to the user.

[0086] Figure 3A is a schematic diagram of page 300 illustrating an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0087] As shown in Figure 3A, the exemplary page 300 includes the session interface for the first session. In a multi-person interaction scene, for example in an instant communication session scene, a user can send a message in the communication group corresponding to the first session, and the message is displayed in the session interface of the first session, and the user who sent the message and other users in the communication group can view this message.

[0088] The session interface for the first session includes a system configuration control. When the terminal receives a trigger operation on this system configuration control from a first-type member, such as the group master or group administrator of the first session, the settings page for the first session is displayed.

[0089] As shown in Figure 3B, the settings page 301 may also be the group management page for the first session, allowing settings such as which group members can pin messages and group announcements to the top, and which group members can speak in this group. The settings page 301 also includes setting controls to perform the first setting operation, and the first setting operation based on these settings controls allows the first session to be set as a first type session. If the first session is a first type session, the message content in the first session is protected.

[0090] As shown in Figure 3C, based on the first setting operation, one or more operations can be set, such as not allowing message copying, not allowing message forwarding, not allowing file downloads (which may include picture files, video files, text files, etc.), not allowing screenshots, and not allowing screen recording. For example, by setting on / off for "Prohibit copying and forwarding of messages such as text information, pictures, videos, and files," "Prohibit downloading of messages such as pictures, videos, and files," and "Prevent screenshots, screen recordings, etc.," different settings for the protection mode of the first session can be achieved, thereby meeting the protection needs for different messages in different sessions.

[0091] In some implementations, only members of the first session who have pre-configured permissions (e.g., group master, group administrator, etc.) can configure message protection settings.

[0092] When the first session receives a first configuration operation performed by a user on the first session, the first session generates and sends a first system message visible to all based on the first configuration operation, thereby sending the first system message to the first session or each member in the first session, so that each member in the first session knows that the first operation is not permitted for that first session, thus avoiding user misunderstanding. For example, if a group administrator configures the first session not to allow message forwarding, the first system message could say, "The current group chat does not allow message forwarding."

[0093] After the first session is configured as a first-type session, if a new member joins the first session, the first session generates and sends a second system message visible only to the new member to avoid any misunderstanding. This allows the new member to be informed that the first session is already configured as a first-type session.

[0094] In some embodiments, a first type of member, such as a group master or group administrator, can set a first session as a first type of session, while simultaneously setting it so that the first type of member, such as a group master or group administrator, is not affected by the setting operation. That is, when a first type of member, such as a group master or group administrator, performs a first operation on the first session, the first session generates an operation result in response to the first operation.

[0095] After setting the first session to a first type of session in this manner, if a first operation is received on the first session to propagate the message content of the first session outside the first session, a second operation is executed to block the first operation. Therefore, the first operation on the first session cannot be successfully performed, thus preventing the message content of the first session from being propagated outside the first session and protecting the message content of the first session.

[0096] In some embodiments, performing a second operation to block the first operation in response to the first operation may involve responding to the first operation in response to the acceptance of the first operation to the first session, generating a third system message based on the operation information of the first operation and the member information performing the first operation, and sending the third system message to other members of the first session. In other words, in this embodiment, when the first session receives a first operation to it, it can respond to the first operation normally, for example, by successfully performing an operation such as copying or transferring a message, downloading a file, taking a screenshot or recording the screen, and generating a response operation result. At the same time, it can protect messages in the first session by generating a third system message based on the operation information of the first operation, such as a screenshot or screen recording, and the member information performing the first operation, and sending the generated third system message to other members of the first session.

[0097] In some embodiments, performing a second operation to block the first operation may be done in response to the first session receiving a first operation command for the first operation, and the first operation command may be generated by a shortcut key or third-party software. In this embodiment, when a user performs a first operation such as taking a screenshot or recording the screen on the first session via a shortcut key or third-party software, a first operation command for the first operation is generated and sent to the first session, and at this time the first session performs a second operation to block the execution of the first operation command. In other words, in this embodiment, by blocking the first operation command based on the first operation, the first session becomes unable to respond to the first operation and is unable to generate the result of the operation by the first operation, thereby protecting the first message in the first session.

[0098] In some embodiments, performing a second operation to block the first operation may involve occluding or blurring the first session in response to receiving a second operation command to perform the first operation on the first session, and then executing the second operation command, the second operation command being generated by a shortcut key or third-party software. In this embodiment, when a user performs a first operation on the first session, such as taking a screenshot or recording the screen, using a shortcut key or third-party software, a second operation command for the first operation is generated and sent to the first session. As shown in Figure 3E, in this embodiment, the first session is occluded with a preset image or blurred in a predetermined way, such as a mosaic, and then the second operation command is executed. In this case, since the first session is already obscured or blurred when the second operation command is executed, even if the second operation command is executed at this time to generate an operation result, the message content in the first session will not be propagated outside the first session because the first session is already obscured or blurred in the screen-captured image or video obtained by screen recording. This protects the first message in the first session.

[0099] As shown in Figure 3E, when the first session is obscured by a pre-configured image, for example, by displaying information such as "Message protection mode is on, and group chat content will be automatically hidden during screenshots / screen recordings" on the pre-configured image, the user can easily understand that this is due to message protection, thus avoiding user misunderstanding.

[0100] In some embodiments, performing a second operation to block the first operation may involve acquiring a first control for performing the first operation in the first session and setting the first control to an inoperable state. In this embodiment, the first session contains a first control for performing the first operation. For example, as shown in Figure 3D, the first session contains a control for transferring the message. In this embodiment, by setting the first control for performing operations such as copy, transfer, download, screenshot, and screen recording to an inoperable state, when a user wants to perform an operation such as copy, transfer, download, screenshot, or screen recording, the first control for performing the operation cannot be operated, making it impossible to perform the above functions. As a result, the message content in the first session is not propagated outside the first session, and the security of the message content in the first session is protected.

[0101] In fact, at the same time as setting the first control to an inoperable state, the first presentation information can be displayed at the first preset position of the first session. The first presentation information is used to indicate that the first operation cannot be performed on the first session. As shown in Figure 3D, for example, if the first control is a control for performing a transfer operation, the first presentation message may be "Message protection mode is on, and message transfer is prohibited." Here, the first preset position is adjacent to the position of the first control in the first session, so that the user can easily recognize that the first presentation information is presentation information for the first control.

[0102] In some embodiments, when a user performs a third operation, such as adding a first message to a favorite, on the first message in the first session, the first message after the favorite operation can be displayed in the favorites list, and the favorites list still contains a second control for performing the first operation. In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3F, in order to prevent the message in the first session from propagating outside the first session, the second control 302 in the favorites list can also be set to an inoperable state, thereby preventing the message content of the first session from being propagated outside the first session even while it is in the first list, and thus protecting the security of the message content in the first session.

[0103] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3G, if a picture file exists during the first session, the user can trigger an operation on the picture file at that time, and the picture management window 304 can be displayed in the first session. The picture management window 304 still includes a third control 305 for performing the first operation, such as a download control for performing a download operation. In this embodiment, in order to prevent the picture file in the first session from propagating outside the first session, the third control 305 in the picture management window 304 can also be set to an inoperable state, thereby preventing the message content in the first session from being propagated outside the first session even within the picture management window 304, and thus protecting the security of the message content in the first session.

[0104] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3H, a first window 400 is displayed on top of the first session, and this first window 400 may be a third-party software window, and at least a portion of the first session is not obscured by the first window 400. In this case, if the user performs a first operation on the first window 400, such as taking a screenshot or screen recording, there is a possibility that the message content in the first session will be screenshotted or screen recorded. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3I, when a first operation on the first window 400 is received, a second operation is performed in response to the first operation on the first window 400 to prevent the first operation from being performed on the first session, for example, by obscuring or blurring the first session. In this way, the user's normal screenshot and screen recording operations on other windows are not affected, and the security of the message content in the first session is protected.

The methods of the embodiments can also be applied to distributed scenes, where multiple devices can cooperate to complete the process. In such distributed scenes, one of these multiple devices can perform only one or more steps of the methods of the embodiments of this disclosure, and these multiple devices interact with each other to accomplish the method.
