Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a method, apparatus, system and storage medium for information processing. In at least one embodiment of the disclosure, for a message containing a link sent in an instant messaging session, a message card including a preview control is displayed in an interface of the instant messaging session, which causes the message card itself supports the preview function and enables the user to trigger the preview control in the message card, thereby displaying the preview information of a linked object of the link in response an operation triggering the preview control by an user.

Claims (62)

1 . A method for information processing, the method comprising:

in response to sending a message containing a link to an instant messaging session, parsing the link to obtain information of the link;

displaying a message card containing the information of the link in an interface of the instant messaging session, the message card comprising a preview control; and

in response to an operation triggering the preview control, displaying preview information of a linked object of the link without leaving the interface of the instant messaging session, wherein the linked object comprising a webpage corresponding to the link, the preview information comprising a portion of or all of information of the webpage corresponding to the link, the information of the link contained in the message card comprises an access portal constructed based on themes or summaries extracted from the webpage corresponding to the link.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the preview control is a first preview control or a second preview control;

the in response to an operation triggering the preview control, displaying preview information of a linked object of the link comprises:

in response to an operation triggering the first preview control, displaying the preview information in the message card in the interface of the instant messaging session; or,

in response to an operation triggering the second preview control, popping up a layer in the interface of the instant messaging session and displaying the preview information in the popped-up layer.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein,

the first preview control is a scroll bar control in the message card; the in response to an operation triggering the first preview control, displaying the preview information in the message card in the interface of the instant messaging session comprises: in response to a sliding operation of the scroll bar control, scrolling and displaying part of information of the preview information in the message card in the interface of the instant messaging session; or

the first preview control is a view more control in the message card; the in response to an operation triggering the first preview control, displaying the preview information in the message card in the interface of the instant messaging session comprises: in response to an operation triggering the view more control, displaying all information of the preview information in the message card in the interface of the instant messaging session.

4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the in response to an operation triggering the second preview control, popping up a layer in the interface of the instant messaging session and displaying the preview information in the popped-up layer comprises:

in response to the operation triggering the second preview control, popping up the layer in the interface of the instant messaging session, and adding a scroll bar control or a view more control to the popped-up layer, and in response to a sliding operation of the scroll bar control, scrolling and displaying part of information of the preview information in the popped-up layer, or in response to an operation triggering the view more control, displaying all information of the preview information in the popped-up layer.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the message card further comprises at least one of the following controls: a first storage control or a copy link control;

the first storage control is used to cut and store the preview information of the linked object or all information of the linked object; and

the copy link control is used to copy the link.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the information of the link contained in the message card comprises at least one of the following:

an icon which is a logo pattern of a webpage corresponding to the link;

a hyperlink which opens a browser after being triggered and skipping to the webpage corresponding to the link; or

a label for identifying a type of the webpage corresponding to the link.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein before displaying the message card containing the information of the link in the interface of the instant messaging session, the method further comprises:

rendering the message card comprising the information of link and the preview control.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein,

before displaying the message card containing the information of the link in the interface of the instant messaging session, the method further comprises: deciding whether the link is a text link; and

if a result of the decision is yes, performing an act of displaying the message card containing the information of the link in the interface of the instant messaging session.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

pushing a link preview event to a service end of the link;

receiving preview information fed back by the service end in response to the link preview event; and

in response to the operation triggering the preview control, displaying the preview information in the interface of the instant messaging session.

10 . A system comprising at least one computing device and at least one storage device storing an instruction, wherein the instruction, when executed by the at least one computing device, causes the at least one computing device to perform a method comprising:

in response to sending a message containing a link to an instant messaging session, parsing the link to obtain information of the link;

displaying a message card containing the information of the link in an interface of the instant messaging session, the message card comprising a preview control; and

11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the preview control is a first preview control or a second preview control;

the in response to an operation triggering the preview control, displaying preview information of a linked object of the link comprises:

in response to an operation triggering the first preview control, displaying the preview information in the message card in the interface of the instant messaging session; or,

in response to an operation triggering the second preview control, popping up a layer in the interface of the instant messaging session and displaying the preview information in the popped-up layer.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein,

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the in response to an operation triggering the second preview control, popping up a layer in the interface of the instant messaging session and displaying the preview information in the popped-up layer comprises:

14 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the message card further comprises at least one of the following controls: a first storage control or a copy link control;

the first storage control is used to cut and store the preview information of the linked object or all information of the linked object; and
