Abstract
Embodiments of the present application relate to a method of controlling float-out messages, a system for controlling float-out messages, an instant messaging client for controlling float-out messages, and a computer program product for controlling float-out messages. A method of controlling float-out messages is provided. The method includes in the event that there is a float-out message that is ready to be sent to a recipient, determining a current status of the recipient of the float-out message, in the event that the current status of the recipient is online, determining whether the float-out message should be sent to the recipient, including determining whether an identifier value of the recipient has reached a threshold value, the identifier value being used to indicate whether the recipient is deemed to be currently in a state of fatigue or a level of fatigue the recipient is deemed to be in, in the event that the identifier value has not reached the threshold value, pushing the float-out message to the recipient to be made available for float out by the recipient, and updating the identifier value.
