In other words, the movement track input by the finger or the capacitive pen on the touch screen of the user equipment is collected, and the movement track corresponds to the input operation.

130. Control the voice message according to the input gesture, where controlling the voice message includes pausing playing or playing the voice message at a selected time.

In other words, different motion trajectories correspond to different voice message controls. Control the voice message according to the input motion trajectory.

It should be noted that the length of the bubbles of the voice message in the embodiment of the present invention may be positively correlated with the length of the voice message. In other words, when the length of the voice message is larger, the bubble of the corresponding voice message will be longer. When the length is smaller, the bubbles of the corresponding voice message will be shorter, for example, the length of the voice message may be proportional to the duration of the voice message. The total duration of the voice message can be displayed near the voice message bubble. For example, the total duration of the voice message can be displayed at one end of the voice message bubble, such as on the left or right of the voice message bubble, or can be displayed at the end of the voice message. Above or below the bubble, this embodiment of the present invention does not limit it.

It should be understood that the voice message in this embodiment of the present invention may be a voice message sent by a user, or may be a voice message received by the user and sent by another user.

Existing voice message software generally has a common problem: only the functions of "play" and "stop", cannot complete operations such as fast forward, rewind, and pause. When the user receives a voice message, he first touches the voice message with his finger to listen, and then clicks the voice message once to stop playing the voice message. At this time, if the voice message is clicked again, the voice message will be played from the beginning. The function of controlling the voice message is single, resulting in the inability to flexibly adjust the playback of the voice message, which affects user experience. However, the embodiment of the present invention can acquire gestures input on the voice message bubbles, and control voice messages according to the input gestures. Since controlling voice messages includes pausing playback or playing voice messages at selected times, the playback of voice messages can be flexibly adjusted. Improve user experience.

It should be understood that the voice message in the embodiment of the present invention can be an instant messaging voice message, for example, it can be a WeChat voice message, a rice chat voice message, a voice message of an enterprise internal chat software, a Yixin voice message or a QQ voice message, and it can also be an instant messaging voice message. The voice message collected or stored by the instant messaging software can also be a voice mailbox message, and the voice mailbox message in the embodiment of the present invention is a short message message composed of at least one voice message, such as a voice mailbox message that can be an enterprise internal chat software.

Wherein, the playback bubble is located on the bubble of the voice message, wherein acquiring an input gesture on the bubble of the voice message includes: acquiring a click on the playback bubble of the voice message or acquiring a gesture of pushing and pulling the playback bubble of the voice message.

Optionally, as another embodiment, in step 130, it may be determined that the input gesture matches a preset reference gesture, and the voice message is controlled according to an instruction corresponding to the reference gesture. In other words, it can be determined that the input gesture trajectory matches the preset reference trajectory, and the voice message is controlled according to the instruction corresponding to the reference trajectory.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, the length of the playing bubble increases as the playing progress of the voice message increases, and the length of the playing bubble is less than or equal to the length of the bubble of the voice message.

Optionally, as another embodiment, the time corresponding to the current playback progress is displayed above or below the playback bubble of the voice message.

In other words, the speech bubble has a total duration and is displayed around the speech bubble, for example, to the right or left of the speech bubble. After the voice message is played, the voice message has a playback bubble, which grows bigger and bigger as the playback time increases until the playback ends and the bubble of the voice message coincides. At the same time, the time of the current playback progress can be displayed around the playback bubble, such as voice The time corresponding to the current playing progress may be displayed above or below the length of the playing bubble of the message. It should be noted that in order to distinguish the voice message bubble from the voice message playback bubble, the color of the playback bubble and the voice message bubble may be different, for example, the voice message bubble is lighter in color, and the playback bubble is darker in color.

It should be understood that, in one case, the user equipment can play the generated playback bubble without gestures after receiving the voice message; in another case, the user equipment can also click on the bubble of the voice message to start playing the voice message Playback bubbles for voice messages.

Specifically, clicking on the playback bubble of the voice message corresponds to pausing or starting playback, and pushing and pulling the playback bubble of the voice message corresponds to playing at a selected time. Play the voice message or start playing at a certain moment in front, that is, realize fast-forward playback or fast-rewind playback.

Optionally, as another embodiment, when acquiring the input gesture on the bubble of the voice message includes: acquiring a click on the playing bubble of the voice message, in step 130, when the voice message is in the playing state, According to clicking the playback bubble of the voice message, the playback of the voice message is suspended; when the voice message is in the paused playback state, according to the click of the playback bubble of the voice message, the voice message is continued to be played from the paused playback position.

Specifically, when the current voice message is not playing, click the bubble of the current voice message to start playing the current voice message; when the current voice message is in the playing state, click the current voice message to pause the playback of the current voice message; When the message is in the paused state, click on the current voice message to continue playing the current voice message, in other words, start playing the current voice message from the paused moment.

Further, when the current voice message is in the unplayed state, click on the bubble of the current voice message to start playing the current voice message; when the current voice message is in the playing state, click on the current voice message to play the bubble to execute and pause the playback of the current voice message; When the current voice message is in the paused state, click the current voice message playback bubble to continue playing the current voice message, in other words, start playing the current voice message from the paused moment.

Optionally, as another embodiment, when acquiring the input gesture on the bubble of the voice message includes: acquiring the gesture of pushing and pulling the bubble of the voice message, in 130, according to the gesture of pushing and pulling the bubble of the voice message , to adjust the length of the playback bubble; according to the adjusted length of the playback bubble, the voice message will be played at the selected time.

Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention can adjust the length of the playback bubble by pushing and pulling the end edge of the playback bubble. According to the length of the playback bubble, the voice message can be controlled according to the time of the previous playback progress displayed above or below the playback bubble. From which moment to start playing. That is, playing the voice message when selected, in other words, pushing and pulling the playback bubble of the voice message can realize playing the voice message at a certain time later or starting playing at a certain time in front, that is, realizing fast forward playback or fast rewind playback. For example, pushing and pulling the end of the playback bubble increases the length of the playback bubble, which can realize fast-forward playback of voice messages, and for another example, pushing and pulling the end of the playback bubble makes the length of the playback bubble smaller, which can realize rewind playback of voice messages. In addition, the time at which the voice message starts to be played can be controlled according to the time of the previous playback progress displayed above or below the playback bubble.

Furthermore, as another embodiment, the method in the embodiment of the present invention further includes: when it is determined that the noise existing outside is smaller than a preset threshold, continuing to play the current voice message.

Specifically, in this embodiment of the present invention, when the current voice message is played, the microphone of the user equipment may be used to capture the surrounding noise, for example, the dialogue sound of the surrounding environment. When the noise is greater than the preset threshold, the playback of the current voice message is stopped, and when the noise captured by the microphone is smaller than the preset threshold, the playback of the current voice message is continued.

Optionally, as another embodiment, the maximum length of the voice message is 60s, 120s, 180s or 240s.

It should be noted that there is no limit to the maximum duration of the voice message. Preferably, it can take any value in 60s-600s, for example, it can also be 90s, 150s, 300s, or 480s or 600s, etc. This embodiment of the present invention does not do this limited.

Operations such as fast forward, rewind, and pause cannot be completed in the prior art. When the user receives a voice message, he first touches it with his finger to listen to it, and then clicks it again to stop playing. If you click again at this time, this voice message will start playing from the beginning. Because the existing software lacks these operations, it can only prevent everyone from sending too long voices by controlling the length of the voice (except for Yixin, which is 120 seconds, and most of WeChat, Michat, etc., have a sending limit of 60 seconds). Becoming a blocking factor to a driving factor in product usability. In daily use, if the user has to make a phone call if it is not very urgent, he will choose voice narration. The narration of 1 minute or 2 minutes is often not enough. At this time, the user can only create a new dialogue bubble to continue the previous arrival time. Limit the automatic sending of voice messages to record, which will cause redundant operations and interrupt the user's thinking. However, since the embodiment of the present invention can perform fast-forward, rewind, and pause operations, the voice message time limit is no longer affected by this usability hindrance factor, so the voice time limit can be appropriately expanded to improve user experience.
