Abstract

A method, system and mobile terminal for deleting a chat record are provided. The method includes: receiving an instruction for deleting the chat record; and deleting the chat record in responding to instruction. By implementing the technical solution according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is able to selectively delete chat records, thus prevent losses of a user.

Claims

1. A method for deleting a selected chat record, comprising:

receiving, by a device comprising a processor, an instruction to delete the selected chat record from a batch, the batch having a plurality of chat records; and

deleting, by the device, the selected chat record in responding to the instruction.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

moving up a chat record located below the deleted chat record to fill the position of the deleted chat record.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the instruction to delete the selected chat record is trigger-input by an operation from a user of the chat records on a chat interface in an instant messenger.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the chat interface of the instant messenger is trigger-entered after the user logs in the instant messenger on a mobile terminal using account information.

5. The method according to claim 3, wherein receiving an instruction to delete the selected chat record comprises:

receiving the instruction when the user clicks, double-clicks or long-presses the selected chat record on the chat interface of the instant messenger.

6. The method according to claim 3, wherein receiving an instruction to delete the selected chat record comprises:

receiving the instruction when the user drags the selected chat record on the chat interface of the instant messenger out of the chat interface of the instant messenger.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein deleting the selected chat record in responding to the instruction comprises:

outputting a chat record deletion option in responding to the instruction; and

deleting the selected chat record when the user selects the chat record deletion option.

8. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

outputting information for prompting the user that the selected chat record is deleted.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein the outputting information for prompting the user that the selected record is deleted comprises at least one of:

outputting animation information for prompting the user that the selected chat record is deleted; and

outputting voice information for prompting the user that the selected chat record is deleted.

10. A system for deleting a selected chat record, comprising:

a receiving unit, configured to receive an instruction for deleting the selected chat record from a batch, the batch having a plurality of chat records; and

a responding and deleting unit, configured to delete the selected chat record in responding to the instruction.

11. The system according to claim 10, further comprising:

a position moving unit, configured to move up a chat record located below the deleted chat record to fill a position of the deleted chat record.

12. The system according to claim 10, wherein the receiving unit is configured to receive the instruction which is trigger-input when a user clicks, double-clicks or long-presses the selected chat record on a chat interface of an instant messenger.

13. The system according to claim 10, wherein

the receiving unit is configured to receive the instruction which is trigger-input when a user drags the selected chat record on a chat interface of an instant messenger out of the chat interface of the instant messenger.

14. The system according to claim 10, wherein the responding and deleting unit is configured to:

output a chat record deletion option in responding to the instruction; and

delete the selected chat record if the user selects the chat record deletion option.

15. The system according to claim 10, further comprising:

an output prompting unit, configured to output information for prompting the user that the selected chat record is deleted after the responding and deleting unit deletes the selected chat record.

16. The system according to claim 15, wherein the output prompting unit is configured to output at least one of animation information and voice information for prompting the user that the selected chat record is deleted after the responding and deleting unit deletes the selected chat record.

17. A mobile terminal comprising a system for deleting a selected chat record, wherein the system comprises:

a receiving unit, configured to receive an instruction for deleting a selected chat record from a batch, the batch having a plurality of chat records; and

a responding and deleting unit, configured to delete the selected chat record in responding to the instruction.

18. The mobile terminal of claim 17, wherein the system further comprises a position moving unit configured to move up a chat record located below the deleted chat record to fill a position of the deleted chat record.

19. The mobile terminal of claim 17, wherein the system further comprises an output prompting unit configured to output information for prompting the user that the selected chat record is deleted after the responding and deleting unit deletes the selected chat record.

20. The mobile terminal of claim 19, wherein the output prompting unit is configured to output at least one of animation information and voice information for prompting the user that the selected chat record is deleted after the responding and deleting unit deletes the selected chat record.
