Embodiment 1

[0027] Embodiment 1, instant messaging method.

[0028] In this embodiment, the emoticons provided by the instant messaging tool are divided into multiple groups, one group includes at least one emoticon (usually a group includes multiple emoticons), one group corresponds to one color, and different groups Corresponding to different colors, the colors corresponding to each group are menu items in the expression menu. That is to say, the emoticon menu provided by the instant messaging tool includes a plurality of color blocks, and one color block corresponds to a group of emoticon pictures. Since people can clearly understand the obvious meanings represented by colors in daily life, it is very intuitive to use color blocks to represent emoticon pictures that may be included in a group (or menu item).

[0029] It can be known from the above description that the emoticon menu in this embodiment includes multiple menu items, and the multiple menu items are multiple color blocks. ...

Embodiment 2

[0045] Embodiment 2, instant messaging method. Attached below Figures 2A to 2D The instant messaging method of this embodiment will be described.

[0046] Fig. 2 is a flow chart of the instant messaging method in the second embodiment.

[0047] In Fig. 2, S1, click on a friend's session window in the main panel.

[0048] S2. Click the emoticon menu icon in the conversation window. The expression menu icon can be set at the lower left corner of the conversation window. An example: the emoticon menu picture is a smiley face pattern.

[0049] S3. A circular emoticon menu is popped up, that is, the emoticon menu is extended around the emoticon menu icon to pop up. The circular emoticon menu can be vividly called a disc menu. The color blocks (ie, menu items) in the disc menu surround the emoticon menu icon, that is, the circular emoticon menu is a control that surrounds the emoticon menu icon in the form of a color disc.

[0050] In this embodiment, a path (Path) may be us...

Embodiment 3

[0085] Embodiment 3, an instant messaging device. The instant messaging device may also be called an instant messaging tool.

[0086] The emoticon pictures provided by the instant messaging device are divided into multiple groups, one group includes at least one emoticon picture, one group corresponds to one color, and different groups correspond to different colors, and the colors corresponding to each group are menu items in the emoticon menu. That is to say, the emoticon menu provided by the instant messaging device includes a plurality of color blocks, and one color block corresponds to a group of emoticon pictures. Since people can clearly understand the obvious meanings represented by colors in daily life, it is very intuitive to use color blocks to represent emoticon pictures that may be included in a group (or menu item).

Abstract

Disclosed are an instant messaging method and device. In the instant messaging method, the emoticon pictures provided by the instant messaging tool are divided into multiple groups, one group includes at least one emoticon picture, one group corresponds to one color, and different groups correspond to different colors, and the color corresponding to each group It is a menu item in the emoticon menu; receiving an externally input command; when the received command is a color selection command for the emoticon menu, displaying the page of the emoticon pictures contained in the group corresponding to the color selection command; When the received command is a picture selection command for the emoticon picture in the page, the emoticon picture corresponding to the picture selection command is added in the sending window; when the received command is a sending command, the The content in the sending window is sent to the receiver. The above-mentioned technical solution improves the implementation flexibility of instant messaging and improves user experience.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network communication, in particular to instant messaging technology. Background technique [0002] Instant messaging has been widely used in both wired and wireless communication networks. When a user sends an instant message to a friend, he often selects one or more emoticon pictures from a large number of emoticon pictures provided by the instant messaging tool. [0003] In order to facilitate users to choose emoticons from many emoticons, instant messaging tools usually divide the provided emoticons into multiple groups, each group corresponds to a tab, and a text title is set on the tab, and the user determines the tab through the text title Whether contains the expected emoticon picture. [0004] In the process of implementing the present invention, the inventors found that it is a traditional implementation method to represent the emoticon pictures that may be included in the tab through the text...
