Background

With the development of network communication technology, more and more social applications are appeared, and information interaction among users can be carried out based on the social applications. When a user is inconvenient to reply to a message posted by other users in the conversation interface of the social application in time, the user may want to automatically reply to the message posted by other users to inform other users that it is now inconvenient to reply to the message.

Currently, a common automatic message reply method is that the user a can select an automatic reply function in a specific state on a system setting page of the social application, so as to set specific automatic reply content in a setting area corresponding to the automatic reply function. Furthermore, when the user a switches the user state to the away state or the busy state, the terminal automatically starts the automatic reply function, and at this time, if the user B associated with the user a sends a message to the user a in the personal conversation between the user a and the user B, the user a can automatically reply the set automatic reply content to the user B.

and associating the target automatic reply template identification with the second user in the target multi-person session record of the first user.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a message automatic reply method according to an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 3, the message automatic reply method may be applied in a terminal, and includes the following steps:

in step 301, the terminal acquires an attention instruction of the first user, the attention instruction being used for instructing attention to a second user in the target multi-person session.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal may have a social application thereon, and the first user may register and log in the social application, and the social application may provide a session function, for example, a multi-person session function, based on which the first user of the terminal may perform information interaction with multiple other users in the target multi-person session at the same time. The target multi-person conversation may be any multi-person conversation of the first user, and the second user may be a user that the first user wants to pay attention to in the target multi-person conversation, for example, the second user may be a leader or a friend of the first user. The second user and the first user may be associated users or not, and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited herein. The attention instruction of the first user can be triggered by clicking operation of the first user on an attention control corresponding to the second user in the target multi-person conversation.

For example, the process of the terminal acquiring the attention instruction of the first user may include the following steps 301A to 301C:

301A, the terminal displays the profile page of the second user in the target multi-person conversation.

The profile page of the second user may be used to display information about the second user, for example, the profile page of the second user may display the second user's avatar, account number, and personality signature, etc. Of course, the profile page may also display setting controls.

Specifically, when the terminal detects the trigger operation of the first user on the target multi-person conversation, a target multi-person conversation interface may be displayed, and a plurality of user avatars may be displayed on the target multi-person conversation interface. When the terminal detects the triggering operation of the first user on the head portrait of the second user, the terminal can display the personal data page of the second user.

In addition, the target multi-person conversation interface can also be provided with a multi-person conversation setting control, when the terminal detects the triggering operation of the multi-person conversation setting control, the terminal can display a multi-person data page of the target multi-person conversation, and the multi-person data page can display the head portraits of all users in the target multi-person conversation. When the terminal detects the triggering operation of the first user on the head portrait of the second user in the multi-user data page, the terminal can also display the personal data page of the second user. The specific way of displaying the profile page of the second user on the terminal is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

301B, when the terminal detects the trigger operation of the setting control corresponding to the second user, the terminal displays the personal setting page of the second user.

The personal setting page of the second user can be used for the first user to perform relevant setting on the second user. For example, the first user may set notes, nicknames, etc. for the second user in the second user's personal settings page. Of course, the personal setting page may also have a focus control for the first user to set the second user as a focus user.

301C, when the terminal detects that the first user triggers the attention control in the personal setting page, the terminal acquires the attention instruction of the first user.

The above steps 301A to 301B are exemplified by triggering the focus control in the personal setting page of the second user, and the process of the terminal acquiring the focus instruction of the first user is described. For example, an attention adding control may be displayed in the multi-user profile page, when the terminal detects a trigger operation of a first user on the attention adding control, the terminal may display at least user names of all users in the target multi-user session, and when the terminal detects a selection operation of a user name of a second user in all the user names, the terminal may obtain the attention instruction. Of course, the focus control may also be correspondingly displayed within the preset range of each user avatar displayed on the target session interface, and when the terminal detects a trigger operation on the focus control correspondingly displayed on the user avatar of the second user, the terminal may also obtain the focus instruction.

In step 302, the terminal displays the second user in a focus list corresponding to the target multi-person session based on the focus instruction.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the focus list is used to display all users focused on by the first user in the target multi-meeting. The focus list may be displayed in the multi-person profile page corresponding to the target multi-person session as set forth in step 301A.

For example, the specific process of the terminal displaying the second user in the attention list corresponding to the target multi-person session may include the following steps 302A to 302C:

302A, the terminal determines a display position of the second user based on the focus list.

The terminal may obtain the display positions of the users that have been displayed in the attention list, and further, the terminal may determine the display position of the second user in the attention list according to a preset display rule. For example, the display rule may be sequentially displayed from front to back in time order, and the terminal may determine that the display position of the second user is behind all displayed users in the attention list. Of course, the terminal may also determine the display position of the second user on the attention list according to other display rules, for example, the terminal may also determine the display position of the second user on the attention list according to the alphabetical ranking of the initials of the user names of the respective users. The terminal may further determine, according to a descending order of the number of interactions between each user and the first user, a display position of the second user in the attention list, which is not limited herein in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

302B, the terminal acquires the user head portrait and the user name of the second user based on the attention instruction.

The attention instruction may carry a user avatar and a user name of the second user, and the terminal may extract the user avatar and the user name of the second user directly based on the attention instruction. Certainly, the attention instruction may also carry the user identifier of the second user, and the terminal may extract the user identifier of the second user based on the attention instruction, and then obtain the user avatar and the user name of the second user associated with the user identifier of the second user from the server or locally at the terminal. The disclosed embodiments are not limited herein.

302C, the terminal draws the user head portrait and the user name of the second user in the attention list based on the display position of the second user.

The terminal can draw the user head portrait and the user name of the second user at the corresponding display positions in the attention list according to the preset display sizes of the user head portrait and the user name. Of course, the terminal may also adjust the display sizes of the avatar and the user name of the second user according to the size of the attention list and the number of users already displayed in the attention list, and further display the adjusted avatar and user name of the second user in the attention list. The disclosed embodiments are not limited herein.

In addition, the terminal may store an attention list of the target multi-person session, and the server may also store an attention list of the target multi-person session, and a process of storing the second user in the attention list corresponding to the target multi-person session is described below, taking the server as an example in which the attention list is stored:

when the terminal detects the trigger operation on the attention control in step 301C, the terminal may obtain an attention request of the first user, where the attention request is used to indicate that attention is paid to the second user, and the attention request may carry a user identifier of the first user, an identifier of the target multi-person session, and a user identifier of the second user. The terminal may send the attention request to the server, and after receiving the attention request, the server may obtain, from the server, a target multi-person session record of the first user according to the user identifier of the first user and the identifier of the target multi-person session, which are carried by the attention request, where the target multi-person session record may have an attention list. Further, the server may store the user identification of the second user in an attention list in the target multi-person session record. The server stores an attention list for each multi-person conversation of the first user, and every two attention lists can be unrelated to each other.

The foregoing steps 301 to 302 are processes in which the terminal pays attention to the second user in the target multi-user session, and of course, in other embodiments, the second user may also be stored in an attention list stored in the terminal, the processes are the same as the processes in which the second user is stored in the server, and details of the embodiments of the present disclosure are not described here.

In step 303, the terminal obtains an auto-reply instruction of the first user.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the auto-reply instruction is used to instruct the terminal to automatically reply to the second user in the target multi-person conversation.

Specifically, when the terminal detects that the second user exists in the attention list corresponding to the target multi-person session, the terminal may be triggered to acquire an automatic reply instruction of the first user.

Further, the second user's personal setting page referred to in step 301B above may also have an auto-answer control. When the terminal detects that the second user exists in the attention list corresponding to the target multi-person conversation, the terminal can set an automatic reply control displayed on a personal setting page of the second user to be in an activation state, wherein when the automatic reply control is in the activation state, the first user can perform triggering operation on the automatic reply control. When the terminal detects that the first user triggers the automatic reply control corresponding to the second user, the terminal can acquire the automatic reply instruction of the first user. Of course, in other embodiments, the terminal may also obtain the automatic reply instruction of the first user in other manners, and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not specifically limited herein. The specific process of displaying the personal setting page of the second user by the terminal is the same as the process related to the above step 301A to step 301B, and details of the embodiment of the present disclosure are not repeated here.

In step 304, the terminal displays a preset number of auto-reply templates associated with the first user based on the auto-reply command.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the automatic reply template may be an automatic reply template preset by the first user, or may be an automatic reply template that the first user has set for other users.

For example, the process of the terminal displaying a preset number of auto-reply templates associated with the first user may include the following steps 304A to 304C:

304A, the terminal may determine that the first user is in the template library of the social application according to the auto-reply instruction.

The template library may store therein respective auto-reply templates that the first user has set in the social application. The template library may be stored in the terminal or in the server. Taking the template library as an example, the terminal may send the automatic reply instruction to the server, and after receiving the automatic reply instruction, the server may obtain the template library associated with the user identifier of the first user and the identifier of the social application based on the user identifier of the first user and the identifier of the social application carried by the automatic reply instruction. The process of the terminal acquiring the template library of the social application of the first user stored locally is the same as the process of the terminal acquiring from the server, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not described in detail herein.

Taking the template library stored in the server as an example, the process of storing each automatic reply template in the template library may be as follows: at least one pre-configured automatic reply template can be stored in the template library by default, and each automatic reply template can correspondingly store pre-configured priority information. Furthermore, when the user uses the social application on the terminal for the first time, at least one automatic reply template can be input in a multi-person conversation setting page corresponding to the social application, each automatic reply template can carry a first timestamp, and the first timestamp is used for indicating a time point when the user inputs the automatic reply template. When the terminal detects that the user inputs the completion operation, the terminal can acquire the template storage request and send the template storage request to the server. The server can determine the template library of the first user based on the first user identification carried by the template storage request. Furthermore, the server may correspondingly store the at least one auto-reply template and the first timestamp thereof carried by the template storage request in the template library of the first user. In addition, after the first user sets a new automatic reply template for any concerned user in any multi-user session, the terminal may also send the new automatic reply template and the first timestamp carried by the new automatic reply template to the server, and the server may correspondingly store the new automatic reply template and the first timestamp carried by the new automatic reply template in the template library of the first user.

Further, the server may preset a maximum number of auto-reply templates that may be stored in the template library, which may be ten, for example. When the server acquires a new auto-reply template again after the auto-reply templates stored in the template library reach the maximum number, the server may update the template library based on the new auto-reply template. For example, the process of the server updating the template library may include the following steps a1 to A3:

a1, the server traverses each first time stamp stored in the template library to determine the earliest first time stamp.

The server may compare sequentially with other first timestamps based on any one of the first timestamps, and when the any one of the first timestamps is earlier than all of the other first timestamps, the server may determine the any one of the first timestamps to be the earliest timestamp.

A2, the server replaces the auto-reply template corresponding to the earliest timestamp with the new auto-reply template.

A3, the server stores a second timestamp in the template library in correspondence with the new automatic reply template, wherein the second timestamp is used for indicating a time point when the terminal acquires the new automatic reply template.

The foregoing steps a1 to A3 have described the updating process of the template library by taking the automatic reply template carrying the timestamp as an example, and of course, in other embodiments, the template library may be updated in other manners, for example, priority information may be set for each automatic reply template, and the server may update the template library according to the priority information of each automatic reply template. In addition, the process of updating the template library may replace at least one auto-reply template stored by default in the template library. The disclosed embodiments are not specifically limited herein.

304B, the terminal obtains a preset number of automatic reply templates according to a preset rule based on the template library associated with the user identifier of the first user.

When the first user uses the social application for the first time, the terminal may obtain all the preconfigured automatic reply templates from the template library, and of course, the terminal may also obtain the automatic reply templates with the priority ranking located at the top preset digit according to the priority information of each preconfigured automatic reply template.

After the automatic reply templates which are once set by the first user are stored in the template library, the terminal can acquire the automatic reply templates with the first time stamps of the preset number, wherein the first time stamps are later than the threshold value, according to the first time stamps carried by the stored automatic reply templates in the template library. Of course, the terminal may also obtain all the automatic reply templates stored in the template library from the server, and the terminal may also obtain a preset number of automatic reply templates according to other preset rules, which is not limited herein in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

304C, the terminal displays the preset number of automatic reply templates in the preset area.

The terminal can determine the preset area configured in advance, and in the preset area, the preset number of automatic reply templates are sequentially displayed according to the sequence of the first timestamps corresponding to the preset number of automatic reply templates from morning to evening. The terminal may also sequentially display the preset number of automatic reply templates according to the sequence of the priority information corresponding to the preset number of automatic reply templates, which is not limited in this disclosure. Of course, the terminal may also adjust the size of the preset area according to the preset number, and sequentially display the preset number of automatic reply templates in the adjusted area.

The preset area may be located within the preset range of the auto-answer control in step 303, for example, the preset area may be located within a range of 2cm to 4cm below the auto-answer control, and of course, the preset area may also be a secondary page of the second user's personal setting page.

In step 305, when the terminal receives a selected instruction for any one of the preset number of auto-reply templates, an auto-reply template corresponding to the selected instruction is obtained as the target auto-reply template.

In this disclosure, the selection instruction may be triggered by a selection operation of the first user on any one of the automatic reply templates, and the selection instruction may be used by the terminal to determine the target reply template based on the preset number of automatic reply templates. The target automatic reply template is the automatic reply template selected by the first user for the second user.

The selection operation can be realized by directly clicking the display area of any one of the automatic reply templates on the terminal by the first user, certainly, a selectable control can be displayed in a preset area of each automatic reply template displayed on the terminal, and the user can also realize the selection operation of the automatic reply template corresponding to the selectable control by clicking the selectable control. When the terminal detects the selection operation in any way, the terminal may trigger the selection instruction, and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not specifically limited herein.

The foregoing steps 304 to 305 are described as an example of selecting, by the terminal, from preset automatic reply templates, and a process of acquiring, by the terminal, the target automatic reply template, but of course, the terminal may also acquire the target automatic reply template through the following processes involved in the steps (1) to (2):

(1) the terminal displays an automatic reply input box.

When the terminal detects the trigger operation of the auto-reply control corresponding to the second user, the terminal may draw a pre-configured auto-reply input box in a preset area. The terminal may not display the preset number of auto-reply templates when displaying the auto-reply input frame, and certainly, the terminal may display the preset number of auto-reply templates and also display the auto-reply input frame, which is not limited herein.

(2) And the terminal inputs the target automatic reply template based on the automatic reply input box.

The target automatic reply template can be any text message customized by the user.

In addition, after the terminal inputs the target auto-reply template in the auto-reply input box, the terminal may further update the template library of the first user based on the target auto-reply template, and a specific process of updating the template library of the first user by the terminal is similar to the process from step a1 to step A3, which is not described in detail herein in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

The foregoing steps 304 to 305 are described with respect to the process of the terminal acquiring the target automatic reply template, taking the template library of the first user as an example, and the template library of the first user may also be stored in the terminal. When the template library of the first user can also be stored in the terminal, the process of the terminal obtaining the target automatic reply template is the same as the process from step 304 to step 305, and details of the embodiment of the present disclosure are not repeated here.

In addition, after the terminal acquires the target automatic reply template, the target automatic reply template can be associated with the second user. The association process is described below by taking the example of associating the target automatic reply template with the second user in the terminal: the terminal may associate the target auto-reply template with the second user in a locally stored target multi-person session record for the first user. Specifically, after the terminal acquires the target automatic reply template, the terminal may trigger an association instruction, and the terminal may locally acquire the target multi-person session record from the terminal according to the user identifier of the first user and the identifier of the target multi-person session, which are carried by the association instruction. Furthermore, the terminal can correspondingly store the target automatic reply template and the user identifier of the second user carried by the association instruction in the target multi-person session record, so that the purpose that the terminal associates the target automatic reply template with the second user is achieved. The target multi-person conversation record may store therein relevant settings of the first user for the target multi-person conversation, for example, a list of audiences of the first user in the target multi-person conversation. Of course, the target multi-person session record may also have auto-reply templates stored therein that are associated with respective interested users of the first user. Of course, the target multi-hot session record may also have stored therein an identification of an auto-reply template associated with the respective interested user. In addition, the terminal may also send the association instruction to the server, and the server associates the target automatic reply template with the second user.

When the terminal receives a new message, a second subscriber identity is extracted from the new message in step 306.

In this disclosure, the new message is a new message issued by a user other than the first user in the target multi-person conversation, and the new message may carry a first alert flag, where the first alert flag is used to prompt the first user to issue the new message. The second user identification is used to uniquely represent the second user.

In step 307, the terminal obtains a target auto-reply template associated with the second user identity.

For example, the process of the terminal acquiring the target automatic reply template associated with the second user identifier may include the following steps 307A to 307B:

307A, the terminal acquires a template acquisition instruction.

When the terminal receives the reminding message, the terminal can trigger the template obtaining instruction, the template obtaining instruction is used for indicating the terminal to obtain the target automatic reply template associated with the second user identification, and the template obtaining instruction can carry the second user identification, the user identification of the first user and the identification of the target multi-person conversation.

307B, the terminal acquires the target automatic reply template associated with the second user identification from the terminal based on the template acquisition instruction.

Specifically, corresponding to the process in which the terminal associates the target automatic reply template with the second user, the terminal may locally determine the corresponding target multi-user session record of the first user according to the user identifier of the first user and the identifier of the target multi-user session, which are carried by the template acquisition instruction. Based on the second user identifier carried by the template acquisition instruction, the terminal may acquire the target automatic reply template associated with the second user identifier from the target multi-person session record.

The foregoing steps 307A to 307B are described by taking an example that the terminal obtains the target automatic reply template associated with the second user identifier from the local terminal, and of course, in other embodiments, the target automatic reply template associated with the second user identifier may also be obtained from the server, the obtaining process is the same as the obtaining process in the local terminal, and details of the embodiment of the present disclosure are not repeated here.

In step 308, the terminal obtains the second reminder mark and the second username carried in the new message.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second reminding mark is used to prompt the publishing user of the new information to view the new message. The second reminding mark may be a reminding mark preconfigured in the terminal, for example, the reminding mark may be "@", and of course, the terminal may also be preconfigured with the second reminding character in another form, which is not limited in this embodiment of the disclosure. The second user name is a user name of the second user.

In step 309, the terminal generates a target message based on the second reminder label, the second username, and the target auto-reply template.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the target message is a message to be published into the target multi-person conversation.

The terminal can place the second reminding mark and the second username at a preset position in the target automatic reply template based on the target automatic reply template, and then splice the second reminding mark, the second username and the target automatic reply template into the target message. For example, the second reminding mark preconfigured by the terminal and the second username located at the end of the target automatic reply template are "@", the second username is "queen", the target automatic reply template acquired by the terminal is "i am not present and replies you later", the target message generated by the terminal may be "i am not present and replies you @ queen" later ". Of course, the terminal may also configure the second reminder mark and the second username to be located in other positions of the target automatic reply template, which is not limited herein in this disclosure.

The above-mentioned steps 307 to 309 are processes of generating the target message for the terminal, and the process is described by taking the example of generating the target message based on the second reminding mark, the second username and the target automatic reply template. Of course, in other embodiments, the terminal may not configure the second reminding mark in advance, the terminal may also directly use the target automatic reply template as the target message, and the terminal may also generate other forms of target messages based on the target automatic reply template, which is not limited herein in this disclosure.

In step 310, the terminal issues the target message into the target multi-person conversation.

The above-mentioned embodiment shown in fig. 3 is an example of associating the target automatic reply template with the second user at the terminal, and the message automatic reply method is described, the process of associating the target automatic reply template with the second user may also be performed in the server, and the process of associating the target automatic reply template with the second user in the server is described below with the embodiment shown in fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a message automatic reply method according to an exemplary embodiment, which may be applied to a server, as shown in fig. 4, and includes the following steps:

in step 401, the terminal obtains a correlation instruction.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the association instruction is configured to instruct the server to associate the target auto-reply template with the second user in the target multi-person session record of the first user. The association instruction may carry a user identifier of a first user, an identifier of a target multi-person conversation, and a user identifier of a second user, where the user identifier of the first user is used to uniquely identify the first user, the identifier of the target multi-person conversation is used to uniquely identify the target multi-person reply in the social application, and the user identifier of the second user is used to uniquely identify the second user. In addition, the association instruction may further carry a target automatic reply template identifier, where the target automatic reply template identifier is used to uniquely identify the target automatic reply template acquired by the terminal for the second user, and the target automatic reply template is any one of the automatic reply templates acquired by the terminal based on any one of the implementation manners in steps 304 to 305. For example, the association instruction may be triggered by any one of the following scenarios:

in the first scenario, the terminal detects a selection operation of the first user on any one of the preset number of automatic reply templates displayed by the terminal in step 304. In this scenario, it may be considered that the first user selects any one of the automatic reply templates for the second user, and the selected one is used as a target automatic reply template that can reply the reminder message of the second user, and at this time, the terminal may trigger the association instruction.

And in a second scenario, the terminal detects that the first user inputs the target automatic reply template in the automatic reply input box displayed by the terminal. In this scenario, the first user may be considered as a second user who self-defines the target automatic reply template, and at this time, the terminal may trigger the association instruction. Of course, in other embodiments, the terminal may also trigger the association instruction in other manners, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not specifically limited herein.

In step 402, the terminal sends the association instruction to the server.

In step 403, after receiving the association instruction, the server obtains the target auto-reply template identifier carried by the association instruction.

Wherein the target auto-reply template identification is associated with the template library of the first user stored in the server referred to in step 304 above. The template library of the first user stores the preset number of automatic reply templates related in step 304, and also stores the automatic reply templates input by the first user in the automatic reply input box each time.

In step 404, the server associates the target auto-reply template identification with the second user in the target multi-person session record of the first user.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, similar to the target multi-person conversation record of the first user stored in the terminal, the target multi-person conversation record of the first user stored in the server may also store the relevant setting of the first user on the target multi-person conversation. For example, the target multi-person conversation record may store a message record of the target multi-person conversation, and of course, the target multi-person conversation record may also store each target automatic reply template identifier.

Specifically, the server may determine, from the server, the target multi-person session record associated with the user identifier of the first user and the identifier of the target multi-person session according to the user identifier of the first user and the identifier of the target multi-person session carried by the association instruction. Furthermore, the server may correspondingly store the user identifier of the second user and the target automatic reply template identifier carried by the association instruction in the target multi-user session record of the first user, so as to achieve the purpose that the server associates the target automatic reply template identifier with the second user.

The steps 401 to 404 are processes of associating the target automatic reply template with the second user in the server, and of course, in other embodiments, the target automatic reply template may also be associated with the second user in other ways, which is not limited herein in this disclosure.

In step 405, the terminal obtains an automatic reply request of the first user.

The automatic reply request is used to instruct the terminal to automatically reply to a new message issued by another user in a multi-person conversation, where the another user is a user concerned in any multi-person conversation with the first user, and for example, the another user may be the second user. The multi-person conversation may be any multi-person conversation of the first user on the social application, and the new message may carry a first reminder tag for prompting the first user to post the new message. The automatic reply request may carry a user identifier of the first user, an identifier of the target multi-person session, and a user identifier of the second user. When the terminal detects the new message, the terminal may trigger an automatic reply request of the first user.

In step 406, the terminal sends the auto-reply request to the server.

In step 407, after the server receives the auto-reply request of the first user, the target auto-reply template is obtained.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the process of the server sending the target automatic reply template to the terminal may include the following exemplary steps 407A to 407B:

407A, the server determines a target auto-reply template identification associated with the second user based on the auto-reply request.

Specifically, the server may determine the target multi-person session record of the first user according to the user identifier of the first user and the identifier of the target multi-person session carried in the automatic reply request. Furthermore, the server may obtain, from the target multi-user session record, a target automatic reply template identifier stored in correspondence with the user identifier of the second user, according to the user identifier of the second user carried by the automatic reply request.

407B, the server acquires the target automatic reply template associated with the target automatic reply template identification based on the target automatic reply template identification.

The server may extract the target automatic reply template associated with the target automatic reply template identifier from the template library of the first user related in step 304 according to the target automatic reply template identifier, and of course, the server may also obtain the target automatic reply template in other manners, which is not limited in this embodiment of the disclosure.

In step 408, the server sends the target auto-reply template to the terminal.

In step 409, after receiving the target automatic reply template, the terminal generates a target message based on the target automatic reply template, and issues the target message to the target multi-person conversation.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the process is the same as the process related to the above step 308 to step 310, and details of the embodiment of the present disclosure are not repeated here.
