Abstract

Claims (69)

1 . A file sending method, comprising:

when a conversation interface is displayed, receiving first input of a user, wherein the conversation interface comprises at least one file to be sent to another user, and the first input is performed by the user for a target file in the at least one file;

displaying a first interface in response to the first input, wherein the first interface is a desktop displaying thereon an icon identifying the target file and an icon identifying a target application program;

receiving second input of the user, wherein the second input is performed by the user to add the target file to the target application program, wherein the second input comprises dragging the icon identifying the target file to an area where the icon of the target application program is located;

in response to the second input, parsing the target file by using the target application program; and

when the target file is successfully parsed, sending the parsed target file by using the target application program,

wherein:

the first interface further comprises a target interface;

before displaying the first interface, the method further comprises:

obtaining the storage path of the target file, and displaying a prompt window based on the storage path of the target file, wherein the prompt window comprises at least one of the following: a first control or the storage path of the target file, wherein the first control is used to display a storage area of a file on an electronic device, and receiving third input of the user;

displaying the first interface comprises:

displaying the target interface in response to the third input; and

before receiving the second input of the user, the method further comprises:

receiving fourth input of the user, wherein the fourth input is input performed by the user for the target file in the target interface, and

moving the target file to a target folder in response to the fourth input.

2 . The file sending method according to claim 1 ,

wherein:

the prompt window comprises at least the storage path of the target file,

the conversation interface further comprises a target input area,

the target input area is used to input a file name of a file, and

the first input is input performed by the user for a file name of the target file in the target input area; and

wherein the obtaining the storage path of the target file comprises:

determining, from a storage area on the electronic device based on the file name of the target file, the file corresponding to the file name of the target file, to obtain the storage path of the target file.

3 . An electronic device, comprising a processor; and a memory having a computer program or instructions stored thereon, wherein the computer program or the instructions, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:

when a conversation interface is displayed, receiving first input of a user, wherein the conversation interface comprises at least one file to be sent to another user, and the first input is performed by the user for a target file in the at least one file;

displaying a first interface in response to the first input, wherein the first interface is a desktop displaying thereon an icon identifying the target file and an icon identifying a target application program;

receiving second input of the user, wherein the second input is input performed by the user to add the target file to the target application program, wherein the second input comprises dragging the icon identifying the target file to an area where the icon of the target application program is located;

in response to the second input, parsing the target file by using the target application program; and

when the target file is successfully parsed, sending the parsed target file by using the target application program,

wherein:

the first interface further comprises a target interface;

before displaying the first interface, the operations further comprise:

obtaining the storage path of the target file, and displaying a prompt window based on the storage path of the target file, wherein the prompt window comprises at least one of the following: a first control or the storage path of the target file, wherein the first control is used to display a storage area of a file on an electronic device, and receiving third input of the user;

displaying the first interface comprises:

displaying the target interface in response to the third input; and

before receiving the second input of the user, the operations further comprise:

receiving fourth input of the user, wherein the fourth input is input performed by the user for the target file in the target interface, and

moving the target file to a target folder in response to the fourth input.

4 . The electronic device according to claim 3 ,

wherein:

the prompt window comprises at least the storage path of the target file,

the conversation interface further comprises a target input area,

the target input area is used to input a file name of a file, and

the first input is input performed by the user for a file name of the target file in the target input area; and

wherein the obtaining the storage path of the target file comprises:

determining, from a storage area on the electronic device based on the file name of the target file, the file corresponding to the file name of the target file, to obtain the storage path of the target file.

5 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, storing a computer program or instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

when a conversation interface is displayed, receiving first input of a user, wherein the conversation interface comprises at least one file to be sent to another user, and the first input is input performed by the user for a target file in the at least one file;

displaying a first interface in response to the first input, wherein the first interface is a desktop displaying thereon an icon identifying the target file and an icon identifying a target application program;

receiving second input of the user, wherein the second input is input performed by the user to add the target file to the target application program, wherein the second input comprises dragging the icon identifying the target file to an area where the icon of the target application program is located;

in response to the second input, parsing the target file by using the target application program; and

when the target file is successfully parsed, sending the parsed target file by using the target application program,

wherein:

the first interface further comprises a target interface;

before displaying the first interface, the operations further comprise:

obtaining the storage path of the target file, and displaying a prompt window based on the storage path of the target file, wherein the prompt window comprises at least one of the following: a first control or the storage path of the target file, wherein the first control is used to display a storage area of a file on an electronic device, and receiving third input of the user;

displaying the first interface comprises:

displaying the target interface in response to the third input; and

before receiving the second input of the user, the operations further comprise:

receiving fourth input of the user, wherein the fourth input is input performed by the user for the target file in the target interface, and

moving the target file to a target folder in response to the fourth input.

6 . The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 5 ,

wherein:

the prompt window comprises at least the storage path of the target file,

the conversation interface further comprises a target input area,

the target input area is used to input a file name of a file, and

the first input is input performed by the user for a file name of the target file in the target input area; and

wherein the obtaining the storage path of the target file comprises:

determining, from a storage area on the electronic device based on the file name of the target file, the file corresponding to the file name of the target file, to obtain the storage path of the target file.
