However, due to restriction of keyboard, screen and operation method of mobile terminal, users meet many problems such as inconveniently inputting link address with keyboard, complex operations of obtaining network services of net surfing and searching, incapable of obtaining service of vague phone querying, etc, when using intelligent terminal.
Taking access to the internet with mobile phone as an example, under standby state of mobile phone desktop, generally only number key can be input from keyboard, then by pressing dialing key can connect to telephone network to dial phone terminal of corresponding number. But the desktop design mode is very inconvenient for users to access to the internet, WAP network, and to use searching and vague phone querying services. Taking Nokia N70 as an example, if users want to entry SINA wireless WAP site with its domain name as “3g.sina.com.cn”, first users must enter into function interface from phone desktop, then click icon of “network”, after WAP browser loaded, users still need to input “3g.sina.com.cn” in the browser, then can visit the WAP site. The above operation procedures are difficult for many users, and these problems may exist: unclear of procedures of the operation, cannot remember the domain name “3g.sina.com.cn” of SINA wireless network, operation of inputting “3g.sina.com.cn” form keyboard being complex and inconvenient, which are obstacles for users to access to the internet with mobile phone.
For application of searching with mobile phone, current application of searching with mobile phone generally requires users to entry WAP site or WEB site of phone searching, and then searching requirement can be submitted. The above similar reasons cause much trouble for users to obtain searching services. In addition, currently there are some SMS searching technologies, i.e. through SMS users sending keywords to SMS searching platform which feedback to users after obtaining results also through SMS, which style has the disadvantage: users often cannot remember SMS special service number of SMS searching platform, causing application and development of the business not very well.
Moreover, during using mobile phone, the situation may often be met: users need to dial number of certain units, such as tickets booking telephone of “CTRIP” which is not stored in users' address list, upon which users generally query through 114 or find the number with searching engineer searching on the internet using mobile phone. But sometimes the returned results when querying with 114 are not accurate, especially when the number needs to be queried is not local, users need to dial the local 114 to query, which cost expensively for users; and searching the internet with mobile phone requires users to masterly use mobile phone, and the querying process costs some time, and sometimes cannot search correct result, sometimes return many invalid results, which still requires users to filter among them. And even if users obtain the phone number with the above method, users need to record it down with pen, and then dial it with mobile phone, finally can dial the number. The whole operation process is very fussy and inconvenient.
It can be seen through the above analysis, the current technique cannot solve problems of quickly retrieving information services of internet, WAP network, searching, vague phone querying on mobile terminal desktop.

Information uploading/returning method includes internet connection (realized by various access ways including GPRS, EDGE, CDMA, 3G, etc.), SMS (Short Messaging Service), and MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), which may set by users. The uploaded information of the invention refers to the information client module upload to server with information uploading method for the server to process, including input keywords of users, phone number, current selected service mode, current data matching mode, international mobile equipment identity IMEI, SIM card identity, international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI), cell identity of current location of mobile phone (CELL ID) and service region. The service region refers to the geographical range related to users' service mode, as a reference of processing input information of users, which may be a default setting of system or set by users. For example, if users set “service region” as “Beijing”, when users perform vague phone querying in vague phone yellow pages mode, system will query related phone information in Beijing only.
Client database refers to the local database stored on mobile terminal, at least provided with five datasheets: basic information sheet, key word mapping sheet, speedy service codes mapping sheet, website mapping sheet, phone number mapping sheet, wherein contents of basic information sheet include: unit ID, unit name, profession identity, profession name, region identity, region name, and remarks; contents of keywords mapping sheet include: unit ID, and keywords; contents of speedy service codes mapping sheet include: identity, corresponding service mode, speedy service code, corresponding content of speedy service code, and remarks; contents of website mapping sheet include: unit ID, keywords, website name, and website address; contents of phone number mapping sheet include unit ID, keywords, phone name, and phone number. Server database is stored in server, which has the same or similar structure with client database, but with different contents. In client database the most frequently used information which occupies small space in stored to save storage space of mobile phone, and the data contents in the client database can be obtained from server for dynamically updating. In server database the information which is less used and occupies larger space than contents of client database is stored. Applying the data storage method of client database and server database can improve response speed to users' searching operation, reduce frequency of client module accessing to network, and save user's mobile internet traffic. Server searching device is a function component which takes input formation of users as input, and outputs returned results which match with currently selected service mode and satisfy users' request, with its searching range within internet and wireless network, the simplest structure and working style of which is to call existing searching engineer to retrieve particular keywords.
Client default searching website of the invention refers to various default searching websites directed by client when client starts browser for searching, including WAP site or WEB site of baidu, zhongsou, iask of sina, google, yahoo, etc., also can be a certain SMS searching platform (for example mingfo SMS searching platform, users send keywords through SMS to whose corresponding SMS service number, then mingfo sends back its searched results to client through SMS or other ways), or website specially set by users.
Network waiting information refers to the information client module displays to users when client module connects to server and waits for server to return results, or when client module starts local browser and waits for returned result. The information is downloaded in real time from server by client module during users' waiting period, or downloaded to client for temporarily keeping from server and can be dynamically updated when users are not using service, whose forms include character, picture, video, audio or FLASH, and whose contents include news of current political affairs, finance, entertainment, sports, society, technology, house property, education, tourist, military, legal system, cars, health, advertisements and other information.
Data matching mode of the invention can include two types: accurate matching and vague matching. In accurate matching, only the unique result which matches the input information of users in current service mode is returned in client database and/or server database and/or server searching device, here keywords input by users in current service mode are required to be uniquely identified by client module and/or server, otherwise client module gives prompt of not finding relevant results. In vague matching, client module or server may return several pieces of results which are related to the input keywords of users in current service mode, for selection of users, then go on next operation. For example in “intelligent net surfing” service mode, when users input “sina WAP”, accurate matching only returns one result “3g.sina.com.cn”, and vague matching may return several pieces of results related to users' input for users to select from the results and perform subsequent operation. For example in “intelligent net surfing” service mode, users input “sina”, vague matching may return two results “3g.sina.com.cn” and www.sina.com.cn to users for selection.
