具体实施方式Detailed ways

下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图，对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例是本发明一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本发明保护的范围。The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

参见图1，图1是本发明实施例提供的表情图像的显示方法的流程图，如图1所示，包括以下步骤：Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for displaying an expression image provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes the following steps:

步骤101、接收第一输入，所述第一输入用于触发对话框中多条目标消息的合并，每条所述目标消息均包含相同的表情图像。Step 101: Receive a first input, where the first input is used to trigger the merging of multiple target messages in the dialog box, and each of the target messages contains the same facial expression image.

本发明实施例中，上述第一输入，可以是用户的语音输入，或者也可以是用户在终端设备上的触控操作进行的输入，还可以是接收另一终端设备发送过来的消息等等。当第一输入为用户在终端设备上的触控操作进行的输入时，可以有多种情况。例如：用户选择发送一个与对话框中已存在的相同的表情图像触发合并；或者也可以是用户在显示屏上的预设位置进行一次点击、双击或者滑动等操作，从而触发合并；或者用户接收新消息等等。In this embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned first input may be a user's voice input, or may be an input performed by a user's touch operation on a terminal device, or may be receiving a message sent by another terminal device, or the like. When the first input is an input performed by a user's touch operation on the terminal device, there may be various situations. For example: the user chooses to send an expression image that is the same as the one already in the dialog box to trigger the merge; or the user can click, double-click, or slide at a preset position on the display screen to trigger the merge; or the user receives New news and more.

本发明实施例中，上述对话框可以是终端设备自带的社交软件的对话框，或者也可以是终端设备下载的第三方社交软件的对话框。上述表情图像，可以是动态表情，或者也可以是静态表情，对此本发明实施例不作限定。In this embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned dialog box may be a dialog box of a social software software provided by the terminal device, or may also be a dialog box of a third-party social software software downloaded by the terminal device. The above-mentioned expression image may be a dynamic expression, or may also be a static expression, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

本实施方式中，确定哪些表情图像为相同的表情图像可以有多种方式。例如：可以判断是否存在索引信息(如标识号)相同的表情图像，从而可以将索引信息相同的表情图像确定为相同的表情图像。In this embodiment, there may be various ways to determine which expression images are the same expression image. For example, it can be determined whether there are expression images with the same index information (such as identification numbers), so that the expression images with the same index information can be determined as the same expression images.

或者，也可以使用一些图像比较的方法来判断。当表情图像为静态表情时，就可以判断两个表情图像之间的相似度是否大于预设阈值，若大于预设阈值，则说明该两个表情图像为相同的表情图像。当表情图像为动态表情时，可以首先判断两个表情图像之间帧数是否相同。在帧数相同的条件下，继续判断两个表情图像之间每一帧的相似度是否均大于预设阈值，且顺序一致。若是则说明该两个表情图像为相同的表情图像。当然，除此之外还可以采用一些比较成熟的图像对比方法来判断，可以从像素或者颜色的角度进行比较等等，对此本发明实施例不作限定。Alternatively, you can also use some image comparison methods to judge. When the expression image is a static expression, it can be determined whether the similarity between the two expression images is greater than the preset threshold, and if it is greater than the preset threshold, it means that the two expression images are the same expression image. When the expression image is a dynamic expression, it can be first determined whether the number of frames between the two expression images is the same. Under the condition of the same number of frames, continue to judge whether the similarity of each frame between the two expression images is greater than the preset threshold, and the sequence is consistent. If so, it means that the two expression images are the same expression image. Of course, in addition to this, some relatively mature image comparison methods can also be used to judge, and the comparison can be performed from the perspective of pixels or colors, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

步骤102、响应所述第一输入，合并所述多条目标消息，以使在一条消息中显示所述表情图像。Step 102: In response to the first input, combine the multiple target messages, so that the facial expression image is displayed in one message.

本发明实施例中，通过对多条目标消息进行合并，在一条消息中显示表情图像，从而使终端设备的显示更加简洁，提高终端设备显示界面内容的可读性。In the embodiment of the present invention, by combining multiple target messages, an emoticon image is displayed in one message, so that the display of the terminal device is more concise and the readability of the content of the display interface of the terminal device is improved.

本发明实施例中，上述终端设备可以是手机、平板电脑(Tablet PersonalComputer)、膝上型电脑(Laptop Computer)、个人数字助理(personal digitalassistant，简称PDA)、移动上网装置(Mobile Internet Device，MID)或可穿戴式设备(Wearable Device)等等。In the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned terminal device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer (Tablet PersonalComputer), a laptop computer (Laptop Computer), a personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA for short), a mobile Internet Device (Mobile Internet Device, MID) Or wearable devices (Wearable Device) and so on.

In this way, by merging multiple target messages and displaying an emoticon image in one message, the display of the terminal device is more concise, and the readability of the content of the display interface of the terminal device is improved.

参见图2，图2是本发明实施例提供的一种表情图像的显示方法的流程图。本实施例与上个实施例的主要区别在于本方法中响应所述第一输入，合并所述多条目标消息，以使在一条消息中显示所述表情图像，包括：响应所述第一输入，获取所述对话框中包含相同的表情图像的目标消息；删除所述目标消息；在一条消息中显示所述表情图像。如图2所示，包括以下步骤：Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a method for displaying an expression image provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The main difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that in this method, in response to the first input, combining the multiple target messages so that the facial expression image is displayed in one message includes: responding to the first input , acquiring the target message containing the same emoticon image in the dialog box; deleting the target message; and displaying the emoticon image in a message. As shown in Figure 2, it includes the following steps:

步骤201、接收第一输入，所述第一输入用于触发对话框中多条目标消息的合并，每条所述目标消息均包含相同的表情图像。Step 201: Receive a first input, where the first input is used to trigger merging of multiple target messages in the dialog box, and each of the target messages contains the same facial expression image.

本发明实施例中，上述第一输入，可以是用户的语音输入，或者也可以是用户在终端设备上的触控操作进行的输入，还可以是接收另一终端设备发送过来的消息等等。当第一输入为用户在终端设备上的触控操作进行的输入时，可以有多种情况。例如：用户选择发送一个与对话框中已存在的相同的表情图像触发合并；或者也可以是用户在显示屏上的预设位置进行一次点击、双击或者滑动等操作，从而触发合并；或者用户接收新消息等等。In this embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned first input may be a user's voice input, or may be an input performed by a user's touch operation on a terminal device, or may be receiving a message sent by another terminal device, or the like. When the first input is an input performed by a user's touch operation on the terminal device, there may be various situations. For example: the user chooses to send an expression image that is the same as the one already in the dialog box to trigger the merge; or the user can click, double-click, or slide at a preset position on the display screen to trigger the merge; or the user receives New news and more.

本发明实施例中，上述对话框可以是终端设备自带的社交软件的对话框，或者也可以是终端设备下载的第三方社交软件的对话框。上述表情图像，可以是动态表情，或者也可以是静态表情，对此本发明实施例不作限定。In this embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned dialog box may be a dialog box of a social software software provided by the terminal device, or may also be a dialog box of a third-party social software software downloaded by the terminal device. The above-mentioned expression image may be a dynamic expression, or may also be a static expression, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

本实施方式中，确定哪些表情图像为相同的表情图像可以有多种方式。例如：可以判断是否存在索引信息(如标识号)相同的表情图像，从而可以将索引信息相同的表情图像确定为相同的表情图像。In this embodiment, there may be various ways to determine which expression images are the same expression image. For example, it can be determined whether there are expression images with the same index information (such as identification numbers), so that the expression images with the same index information can be determined as the same expression images.

或者，也可以使用一些图像比较的方法来判断。当表情图像为静态表情时，就可以判断两个表情图像之间的相似度是否大于预设阈值，若大于预设阈值，则说明该两个表情图像为相同的表情图像。当表情图像为动态表情时，可以首先判断两个表情图像之间帧数是否相同。在帧数相同的条件下，继续判断两个表情图像之间每一帧的相似度是否均大于预设阈值，且顺序一致。若是则说明该两个表情图像为相同的表情图像。当然，除此之外还可以采用一些比较成熟的图像对比方法来判断，可以从像素或者颜色的角度进行比较等等，对此本发明实施例不作限定。Alternatively, you can also use some image comparison methods to judge. When the expression image is a static expression, it can be determined whether the similarity between the two expression images is greater than the preset threshold, and if it is greater than the preset threshold, it means that the two expression images are the same expression image. When the expression image is a dynamic expression, it can be first determined whether the number of frames between the two expression images is the same. Under the condition of the same number of frames, continue to judge whether the similarity of each frame between the two expression images is greater than the preset threshold, and the sequence is consistent. If so, it means that the two expression images are the same expression image. Of course, in addition to this, some relatively mature image comparison methods can also be used to judge, and the comparison can be performed from the perspective of pixels or colors, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

步骤202、响应所述第一输入，获取所述对话框中包含相同的表情图像的目标消息。Step 202: In response to the first input, acquire a target message in the dialog box that includes the same facial expression image.

本发明实施例中，上述获取所述对话框中包含相同的表情图像的目标消息，可以是通过相同的标识号获取相同的表情图像，或者也可以是在确定相同的表情图像的情况下直接获取。In the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned acquisition of the target message containing the same facial expression image in the dialog box may be to acquire the same facial expression image through the same identification number, or it may also be obtained directly under the condition that the same facial expression image is determined .

步骤203、隐藏所述目标消息。Step 203: Hide the target message.

本发明实施例中，上述目标消息为包含相同表情图像的目标消息，隐藏上述目标消息，可以包括目标消息在后期还可以继续显示的情况，还可以包括将目标消息进行删除并且不可恢复显示的情况。并且，若需要对目标消息进行删除，在删除的过程中，可以一次性删除所有包含相同表情图像的目标消息，或者也可以对包含相同表情图像的目标消息一条一条进行删除，对此本发明实施例不作限定。In the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned target message is a target message containing the same facial expression image, and hiding the above-mentioned target message may include the situation that the target message can continue to be displayed at a later stage, and may also include the situation that the target message is deleted and the display cannot be resumed . In addition, if the target message needs to be deleted, in the process of deletion, all target messages containing the same facial expression image can be deleted at one time, or the target messages containing the same facial expression image can be deleted one by one, and the present invention is implemented. Examples are not limited.

步骤204、在一条消息中显示所述表情图像。Step 204: Display the facial expression image in a message.

本发明实施例中，上述一条消息可以是新建的一条消息，或者也可以是在删除目标消息的过程中保留的一条消息等等。这样，通过删除一些冗余的目标消息，在一条消息中显示上述表情图像，从而使终端设备的显示更加简洁，提高终端设备显示界面内容的可读性。In this embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned one message may be a newly created message, or may also be a message retained in the process of deleting the target message, or the like. In this way, by deleting some redundant target messages, the above-mentioned emoticon image is displayed in one message, so that the display of the terminal device is more concise and the readability of the content of the display interface of the terminal device is improved.

可选的，所述获取所述对话框中包含相同的表情图像的目标消息，包括：Optionally, the acquiring the target message containing the same facial expression image in the dialog box includes:

获取所述对话框中前M个消息中包含相同的表情图像的目标消息，其中，所述M为预设的正整数；Obtain the target message that contains the same facial expression image in the first M messages in the dialog box, wherein the M is a preset positive integer;

或者，获取当前时刻之前的预设时间段内，所述对话框中包含相同的表情图像的目标消息。Or, acquire the target message that contains the same facial expression image in the dialog box within a preset time period before the current moment.

本实施方式中，上述M可以是5、10、20或者一些其他正整数，上述预设时间段可以是1分钟、2分钟或者一些其他的时间段等等，对此本实施方式均不作限定。上述对话框中存在的目标消息，可以是终端设备的用户发送的消息，或者也可以是终端设备接收其他用户发送的消息。或者，还可以判断接收第一输入之前的上一条表情图像与根据第一输入发送的表情图像是否为相同的表情等等。In this embodiment, the above-mentioned M may be 5, 10, 20 or some other positive integers, and the above-mentioned preset time period may be 1 minute, 2 minutes or some other time period, etc., which are not limited in this embodiment. The target message existing in the above dialog box may be a message sent by a user of the terminal device, or may also be a message sent by the terminal device received by other users. Alternatively, it can also be determined whether the previous expression image before receiving the first input and the expression image sent according to the first input are the same expression, and so on.

本实施方式中，通过限定消息的个数或者限定时间范围，可以排除一些时间相对比较久远的消息。而这些消息对于当前来说可能意义不是很大，所以可以对这些时间相对比较久远的消息不进行处理，从而简化终端设备的处理过程，减少终端设备内存的开销。In this embodiment, by limiting the number of messages or limiting the time range, some relatively long messages can be excluded. These messages may not be of great significance at present, so these relatively old messages may not be processed, thereby simplifying the processing process of the terminal device and reducing the memory overhead of the terminal device.

可选的，若所述多条目标消息为同一用户发送的消息，所述在一条消息中显示所述表情图像，包括：Optionally, if the multiple target messages are messages sent by the same user, the displaying the emoticon image in one message includes:

在所述用户的一条消息中显示一个所述表情图像以及用于表示所述多条目标消息的数量的第一标识；Displaying one of the emoticon images and a first identifier for representing the number of the plurality of target messages in a message of the user;

或者，在所述用户的一条消息中显示N个所述表情图像，其中，所述N为所述多条目标消息的数量。Alternatively, N pieces of the facial expression images are displayed in one message of the user, where the N is the number of the plurality of target messages.

本实施方式中，为了更好的理解在所述用户的一条消息中显示一个所述表情图像以及用于表示所述多条目标消息的数量的第一标识，请参阅图3，图3为本发明实施例提供的一种表情图像显示方式的示意图。图3中可以看到，左侧为同一个用户发送的4条消息，且每条消息中均包含相同的表情图像。进行合并之后，图3的右侧可以看到，此时只在一条消息中显示表情图像，X4即为第一标识，用于表示4条目标消息。In this implementation manner, in order to better understand that a message of the user is displayed with one of the facial expressions and a first identifier used to represent the number of the multiple target messages, please refer to FIG. 3 , which is a schematic diagram of FIG. A schematic diagram of an expression image display mode provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen in Figure 3, there are four messages sent by the same user on the left, and each message contains the same emoticon image. After merging, it can be seen on the right side of Figure 3 that only one message is displayed with an emoticon image at this time, and X4 is the first identifier, which is used to represent four target messages.

本实施方式中，通过合并之后，减少了表情图像的显示个数，也减少了用户头像的显示个数。使对话框中的显示更加简洁，节省了对话框的显示空间。空余出来的显示空间可以显示更多的消息，而不至于使对话框多次显示一些重复的表情图像，方便用户查看对话框中的消息，提高终端设备显示界面内容的可读性。In this embodiment, after combining, the displayed number of expression images is reduced, and the displayed number of user avatars is also reduced. The display in the dialog box is more concise and the display space of the dialog box is saved. The vacant display space can display more messages without causing the dialog box to display some repeated emoticon images for many times, which is convenient for the user to view the messages in the dialog box and improves the readability of the display interface content of the terminal device.

本实施方式中，为了更好的理解在所述用户的一条消息中显示N个所述表情图像，请参阅图4，图4为本发明实施例提供的一种表情图像显示方式的示意图。图4中可以看到，左侧为同一个用户发送的4条消息，且每条消息中均包含相同的表情图像。进行合并之后，图4的右侧可以看到，此时只在一条消息中显示多个表情图像，并且对多个表情图像进行重新排列，节省了对话框的显示空间，并且可以起到强调的效果。In this embodiment, in order to better understand that N pieces of the expression images are displayed in one message of the user, please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a schematic diagram of a display method of an expression image according to an embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen in Figure 4, there are four messages sent by the same user on the left, and each message contains the same emoticon image. After merging, it can be seen on the right side of Figure 4 that only multiple emoticon images are displayed in one message at this time, and the multiple emoticon images are rearranged, which saves the display space of the dialog box and can play an important role in emphasizing. Effect.

当然，在对多个表情图像进行重新排列时，还可以将表情图像进行适当的缩放。这样，通过减少用户头像的显示个数，使对话框中的显示更加简洁，节省了对话框的显示空间，提高终端设备显示界面内容的可读性。Of course, when the multiple expression images are rearranged, the expression images can also be appropriately scaled. In this way, by reducing the number of displayed user avatars, the display in the dialog box is more concise, the display space of the dialog box is saved, and the readability of the content of the display interface of the terminal device is improved.

本实施方式中，不管是减少用户头像的显示个数，还是既减少了表情图像的显示个数，也减少了用户头像的显示个数，均可节约对话框的显示空间，使终端设备的显示更加简洁，提高终端设备显示界面内容的可读性。In this embodiment, whether it is to reduce the number of displayed user avatars, or to reduce both the displayed number of expression images and the displayed number of user avatars, the display space of the dialog box can be saved, and the display of the terminal device can be improved. It is more concise and improves the readability of the content of the display interface of the terminal device.

可选的，若所述多条目标消息为不同用户发送的消息，所述在一条消息中显示所述表情图像，包括：Optionally, if the multiple target messages are messages sent by different users, the displaying the emoticon image in one message includes:

在一条消息中显示一个所述表情图像，并按照消息发送时间的先后顺序显示所述不同用户中每个用户的头像。One of the emoticon images is displayed in a message, and the avatar of each of the different users is displayed in the order of the time when the message is sent.

本实施方式中，请参阅图5，便于对上述过程进行理解，图5为本发明实施例提供的一种表情图像显示方式的示意图。图5中可以看到，左侧按照时间的先后顺序分别有用户A、用户B、用户A和用户A发送的表情图像。进行合并之后，此时如图5右侧所示，仅显示一个表情图像，且在该表情下方的区域，按照消息发送时间的先后顺序显示用户A、用户B、用户A和用户A的用户头像。In this embodiment, please refer to FIG. 5 to facilitate the understanding of the above process. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of an expression image display mode provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen in FIG. 5 , there are facial expressions sent by user A, user B, user A, and user A on the left side in chronological order. After merging, as shown on the right side of Figure 5, only one emoticon image is displayed, and in the area below the emoticon, the user avatars of user A, user B, user A and user A are displayed in the order of message sending time. .

本实施方式中，当存在不同用户发送相同的表情图像时，只显示一个表情图像，从而节省了对话框的显示空间，避免了多次显示重复的表情图像，使终端设备的显示更加简洁。并且，按照消息发送时间的先后顺序显示所述不同用户中每个用户的头像，从而可以方便用户了解发送表情图像的用户的先后顺序，使用户有更好的体验。In this embodiment, when different users send the same emoticon image, only one emoticon image is displayed, thereby saving the display space of the dialog box, avoiding repeated displaying of emoticon images, and making the display of the terminal device more concise.
