Abstract

A reminder method includes: displaying a group session interface of the group session, the group session being a group session in which a group member is allowed to use a group tool, the group tool being a program function that supports use by at least two group members together; displaying a group tool message on the group session interface, the group tool message including an entry link of the group tool; displaying, in response to that the group tool message is a message with a group attribute, a reminder control corresponding to the group tool in the group session interface, the reminder control being used as a reminder of an item in the group tool. The present disclosure provides a human-computer interaction solution for effectively transmitting the group tool message to the group member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A reminder generation method, applied to a terminal, comprising:
displaying a group session interface of a group session, wherein the group session allows a group member to use a group tool;
displaying a group tool message corresponding to the group tool in the group session interface; and
displaying, in response to that the group tool message is a message with a group attribute, a reminder control corresponding to the group tool in the group session interface, the reminder control being used as a reminder of an item in the group tool.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the group session interface includes: a session area and a non-session area, the session area being an area used for displaying a group message, and wherein displaying the reminder control comprises:
displaying the reminder control in the non-session area of the group session interface.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein displaying the reminder control comprises:
displaying the reminder control in a shape of a capsule in the non-session area of the group session interface.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the following information is displayed on the reminder control:
an icon of the group tool;
title content of the group tool;
a headcount of members who have performed the item of the group tool in the group session;
a total headcount in the group session; and
a state indicating whether a local group member has performed the item of the group tool.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying, in response to that the group member uses the group tool, a message transmitting window of the group tool, a first setting control being displayed in the message transmitting window; and
generating, in response to a setting operation on the first setting control, the group tool message with the group attribute.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a second setting control corresponding to the group tool message is further displayed on the group session interface, and the method further comprises:
setting, in response to a setting operation on the second setting control, the group tool message to have the group attribute.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a trigger operation on the group tool message or the reminder control, and displaying the item of the group tool; and
canceling, in response to a completion confirmation operation on the reminder control, displaying the reminder control.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a deleting operation on the reminder control, and canceling displaying the reminder control; or,
in response to timeout of a timer that starts at a moment when the reminder control is generated, canceling displaying the reminder control; or,
in response to that a total quantity of the reminder controls exceeds a threshold, canceling displaying a reminder control that is generated earliest and causes the total quantity to exceed the threshold.

9. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising one or both of:
requesting, in response to a withdrawal operation on the reminder control, a server to withdraw the group tool message and the reminder control of group members in the group session; and
displaying a withdrawal message of the group tool message, the withdrawal message being triggered by a withdrawal operation of a group member with withdrawal authority in the group session; and canceling displaying the group tool message and the reminder control.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the group tool comprises at least one of the following:
a group application;
a mini program that runs relying on the application; and
a group notice.

11. A reminder generation apparatus, the apparatus comprising: at least one memory storing computer program instructions; and at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and configured to execute the computer program instructions and perform:
displaying a group session interface of a group session, wherein the group session allows a group member to use a group tool;
displaying a group tool message corresponding to the group tool in the group session interface; and
displaying, in response to that the group tool message is a message with a group attribute, a reminder control corresponding to the group tool in the group session interface, the reminder control being used as a reminder of an item in the group tool.

12. The reminder generation apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the group session interface includes: a session area and a non-session area, the session area being an area used for displaying a group message, and wherein displaying the reminder control includes:
displaying the reminder control in the non-session area of the group session interface.

13. The reminder generation apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein displaying the reminder control includes:
displaying the reminder control in a shape of a capsule in the non-session area of the group session interface.

14. The reminder generation apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein at least one of the following information is displayed on the reminder control:
an icon of the group tool;
title content of the group tool;
a headcount of members who have performed the item of the group tool in the group session;
a total headcount in the group session; and
a state indicating whether a local group member has performed the item of the group tool.

15. The reminder generation apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer program instructions and perform:
displaying, in response to that the group member uses the group tool, a message transmitting window of the group tool, a first setting control being displayed in the message transmitting window; and
generating, in response to a setting operation on the first setting control, the group tool message with the group attribute.

16. The reminder generation apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein a second setting control corresponding to the group tool message is further displayed on the group session interface, and wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer program instructions and perform:
setting, in response to a setting operation on the second setting control, the group tool message to have the group attribute.

17. The reminder generation apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer program instructions and perform:
receiving a trigger operation on the group tool message or the reminder control, and displaying the item of the group tool; and
canceling, in response to a completion confirmation operation on the reminder control, displaying the reminder control.

18. The reminder generation apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the computer program instructions and perform:
receiving a deleting operation on the reminder control, and canceling displaying the reminder control; or,
in response to timeout of a timer that starts at a moment when the reminder control is generated, canceling displaying the reminder control; or,
in response to that a total quantity of the reminder controls exceeds a threshold, canceling displaying a reminder control that is generated earliest and causes the total quantity to exceed the threshold.
