Information prompt method and terminal

Abstract

The invention discloses an information hinting method including the following steps: the information sent by an interactive counter terminal is received through an information interaction client; amount of the received information is accumulated; and if value of the accumulated amount reaches a preset prompt threshold, a prompt that the information is received is given to a user. The invention also discloses a terminal. In the invention, the information sent by the interactive counter terminal is received through an information interaction terminal and the amount of the received information is accumulated; and if the value of the accumulated amount reaches the preset prompt threshold, a prompt that the information is received is given to the user and the value of the accumulated amount is reset as zero, thus lowering occupation of system resources by hinting information to the user and also reducing influences on other running programs.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of information interaction, in particular to an information prompting method and a terminal. Background technique [0002] With the development of network communication tools, Instant Messaging (IM) has become a communication tool for most Internet users because it can realize instant and effective communication with contacts, and has gradually become an indispensable part of users' daily life. [0003] In the prior art, after a user logs in to the IM server through the IM client, the IM message sent to the user by the message sender is forwarded to the IM client through the server. After the IM client receives the IM message, if the dialog window for exchanging information with the message sender has been opened locally, the received message will be directly displayed in the dialog window; The message prompts the user that there is a new instant message by directly popping up a dialog window displa...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the above-mentioned prior art, when the user does not open the dialog window, once an instant message arrives, the IM client sends a prompt to the user. In the case of a large number of programs, frequent prompts occupy a large amount of system resources, often causing the running speed of important programs to suddenly slow down

[0005] In addition, in the case of displaying a new IM message through a directly pop-up dialogue window, it will seriously affect other work that the user is doing at the same time, greatly reducing the attractiveness of IM products to users, thereby reducing the competition of IM products force

[0006] And, under the above-mentioned situation of prompting the user to have a new instant message by means such as avatar flashing and avatar jumping, the user often ignores these prompts, resulting in a lot of important information that cannot be processed in time, reducing the attractiveness of the IM product to the user, Also reduces the competitiveness of IM products
