The significance of Tencent's new patent "merging repeated messages in group chat" is that when the number of repeated messages in group chat reaches a certain number, the system will merge them and display them to avoid brushing the screen. The method comprises the following steps: 1, detecting whether instant messaging messages sent in an instant messaging group are repeated; 2. If it is detected that the instant messaging messages sent in the instant messaging group are repeated, the number of repeated instant messaging messages is recorded; 3. If the number of repeated instant messaging messages reaches a predetermined number, the repeated instant messaging messages are combined and displayed.
Tencent said that the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention can combine and display the repeated instant messaging messages, thus avoiding users from being bothered by too many repeated messages and improving the communication efficiency of instant messaging on the premise of not affecting the viewing of instant messaging messages.
