Method for processing interest message and apparatus for implementing the same

A terminal comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory configured to store one or more instructions;
• a local storage;
• and
• a communication interface configured to communicate with a message server;
• wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the stored one or more instructions to perform:
• receiving a message from the message server after a login event for a user of the terminal occurs, wherein the login event is related to a message service provided by the message server;
• storing, in response to determining that the received message corresponds to an interest message of the user, the received message in the local storage;
• receiving a search request for the interest message of the user;
• and
• searching and providing the interest message of the user through the local storage in response to the search request,
• wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the stored one or more instructions to further perform:
• receiving a plurality of unread messages from the message server;
• storing at least one message, including a first message, corresponding to the interest message of the user among the plurality of unread messages in the local storage;
• and
• selecting the first message among the plurality of unread messages, and displaying contents of the first message in a preview region located on a screen of the terminal,
• wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the stored one or more instructions to further perform:
• detecting occurrence of the login event;
• searching, in response to the detecting, interest messages of the user occurred before the login event through the message server;
• and
• storing the searched interest messages in the local storage of the terminal, and
• wherein the searching the interest messages of the user comprises:
• determining, in response to the detecting, whether a pre-stored interest message exists in the local storage;
• and
• searching the interest messages of the user only when it is determined that the pre-stored interest message does not exist.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing computer program executable by at least one processor to perform:

• receiving a message from a message server after a login event for a user of a terminal occurs, wherein the login event is related to a message service provided by the message server;
• storing, in response to determining that the received message corresponds to an interest message of the user, the received message in a local storage of the terminal;
• receiving a search request for the interest message of the user;
• and
• searching and providing the interest message of the user through the local storage of the terminal in response to the search request,
• wherein the computer program is executable by the at least one processor to further perform:
• receiving a plurality of unread messages from the message server;
• storing at least one message, including a first message, corresponding to the interest message of the user among the plurality of unread messages in the local storage;
• and
• selecting the first message among the plurality of unread messages, and displaying contents of the first message in a preview region located on a screen of the terminal,
• wherein the computer program is executable by the at least one processor to further perform:
• detecting occurrence of the login event;
• searching, in response to the detecting, interest messages of the user occurred before the login event through the message server;
• and
• storing the searched interest messages in the local storage of the terminal, and
• wherein the searching the interest messages of the user comprises:
• determining, in response to the detecting, whether a pre-stored interest message exists in the local storage;
• and
• searching the interest messages of the user only when it is determined that the pre-stored interest message does not exist.
