According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
In step 101, service option information with an information type identifier of a yellow-pages number is acquired.
Here, the yellow-pages number is a contact number corresponding to a person, a business or an organization that provides various types of services to users. The information type identifier is used to indicate the type of information displayed by the service option information of the yellow-pages number. For example, a terminal device may obtain service option information of any yellow-pages number transmitted from a server, so as to display a service option corresponding to the yellow-pages number in a contact list according to the type of information.
In step 102, a service option corresponding to the service option information is displayed in a contact page of the yellow-pages number according to the information type identifier.
In the present disclosure, the service option corresponding to the service option information may be displayed in the contact page of the yellow-pages number in the contact list of the terminal device. However, the present disclosure is not limited hereto.
In the method according to the present disclosure, the service option information of the yellow-pages number, which contains the information type identifier, is acquired, and the service option corresponding to the service option information is displayed in the contact page of the yellow-pages number according to the information type identifier. By displaying the service option corresponding to the service option information in the contact page of the yellow-pages number, the technical solution of present disclosure can add various service options corresponding to various services provided by the person, business or organization, represented by the yellow-pages number into the contact list, and may prompt a user without costing excessive manpower and material resources on separate developments for each service, and thus the method is expandable, easy to operate and time efficient.
For example, the acquiring of the service option information of the yellow-pages number includes acquiring the service option information of the yellow-pages number by calling an interface of a server for upgrading the service option information.
For example, the displaying of the service option in the contact page of the yellow-pages number depends on the information type identifier and the service option information. In the present disclosure, four examples of various information type identifiers and various service option information will be explained. However, the present disclosure is not limited hereto.
When the information type identifier is a webpage type identifier and the service option information includes webpage contents, the displaying of the service option in the contact page of the yellow-pages number comprises determining the webpage contents included in the service option information as the service option and displaying the service option corresponding to the service option information in the contact page of the yellow-pages number.
When the information type identifier is a webpage type identifier and the service option information includes a webpage link, the displaying of the service option in the contact page of the yellow-pages number comprises acquiring webpage contents corresponding to the webpage link, determining the acquired webpage contents as the service option, and displaying the service option corresponding to the service option information in the contact page of the yellow-pages number.
When the information type identifier is a jump-link type identifier and the service option information includes a first illustrative text and an application identifier, the displaying of the service option in the contact page of the yellow-pages number comprises determining the first illustrative text as the service option, displaying the service option corresponding to the service option information in the contact page of the yellow-pages number, and creating a mapping relationship between the first illustrative text and an application corresponding to the application identifier.
When the information type identifier is a jump-link type identifier and the service option information includes a second illustrative text and a corresponding webpage link, the displaying of the service option in the contact page of the yellow-pages number comprises determining the second illustrative text as the service option, and displaying the service option corresponding to the service option information in the contact page of the yellow-pages number.
For example, when an operation of triggering the first illustrative text is detected, which is after determining the first illustrative text as the service option, displaying the service option corresponding to the service option information in the contact page of the yellow-pages number, and creating the mapping relationship between the first illustrative text and the application corresponding to the application identifier when the information type identifier is the jump-link type identifier and the service option information includes the first illustrative text and the application identifier, the method further includes: starting the application corresponding to the application identifier according to the mapping relationship.
For example, when the operation of triggering the first illustrative text is detected, a step of starting the application corresponding to the application identifier according to the mapping relationship is performed, which includes: acquiring additional information corresponding to the application identifier, when the operation of triggering the first illustrative text is detected, and starting the application corresponding to the application identifier according to the mapping relationship so as to input the additional information in an interface of the application.
For example, when the information type identifier is the jump-link type identifier and the service option information includes the second illustrative text and the corresponding webpage link, the method further includes a step of jumping to a webpage directed to by the corresponding webpage link when an operation of triggering the second illustrative text is detected. In this case, the step of jumping is performed after the second illustrative text is determined as the service option, and the service option corresponding to the service option information is displayed in the contact page of the yellow-pages number.
All of the above technical solutions may form other alternative embodiments according to the present disclosure in an arbitrary combination thereof, and the description thereof will be omitted herein.
In step 201, a terminal device acquires service option information with an information type identifier of a yellow-pages number by calling an interface of a server for upgrading the service option information, and then the steps 202, 203, 204 or 206 is performed.
Moreover, the server is configured to collect service option information of various persons, businesses or organizations associated with their respective yellow-pages numbers. The interface of the server may be set up by a skilled person during development, or may be added, modified or deleted by a user during usage. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
In addition, the service option information contains an information type identifier, which is configured to indicate the type of information displayed by the service option information and may include a webpage type identifier or a jump-link type identifier. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
In the present disclosure, the yellow-pages number and one or more service option provided by a person, a business or an organization which associates with the yellow-pages number may be displayed in a contact list of the terminal device, so as to facilitate the user to obtain information on services provided by the person, business or organization as well as some basic information such as a phone number. When the person, business or organization updates the service option information at the server, the updated service option information is acquired, and the service option displayed in the terminal device is updated so as to facilitate the user to obtain the most recent information on services provided by the person, business or organization.
Further, the interface of the server is used for upgrading service option information. When a contact page of the yellow-pages number is created or the service option information corresponding to the yellow-pages number is upgraded in the contact page of the yellow-pages number, the terminal device acquires service option information by calling the interface of the server. It should be noted that, in addition to being acquired at the above timing, the service option information may also be acquired when the terminal device is starting or may be acquired periodically. However, the present disclosure does not limit the timing of acquiring service option information to the above.
Accordingly, step 201 may further includes: when the terminal device receives an instruction for creating the contact page of the yellow-pages number, acquiring basic information on the yellow-pages number, and acquiring the service option information by calling the interface of the server for upgrading service option information. Herein, the instruction for creating the contact page may be triggered by the user, or transmitted by the server. In addition, the basic information of the yellow-pages number may include information on a name, a phone number and an address corresponding to the yellow-pages number, which may be inputted by the user, or may be acquired by calling the interface of the server. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
In another embodiment according to the present disclosure, step 201 may further includes: detecting the interface of the server for upgrading service option information, and when the upgraded service option information of the yellow-pages number is detected, acquiring the upgraded service option information of the yellow-pages number by calling the interface. Herein, the terminal device may detect the interface in real time or periodically. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
In step 202, when the information type identifier is the webpage type identifier and the service option information includes webpage contents, the step of displaying of the service option in the contact page of the yellow-pages number comprises determining the webpage contents included in the service option information as the service option and displaying the service option corresponding to the service option information in the contact page of the yellow-pages number.
For example, when it is detected that the information type identifier is the webpage type identifier, and the service option information includes webpage contents, the terminal device may determine all of the webpage contents included in the service option information as the service option and display the service option in the contact page of the yellow-pages number, i.e. display all of the webpage contents included in the service option information. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, when it is detected that the information type identifier is the webpage type identifier, and the service option information includes webpage contents, the terminal device may also determine a part of the webpage contents included in the acquired service option information as the service option and display the service option in the contact page of the yellow-pages number, i.e. display the part of the webpage contents included in the service option information. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. It should be noted that, the part of the webpage contents may be the part directly associated with the service provided by the person, business or organization. For example, in the case of a room reservation service, the part of the webpage contents may include number of available rooms and the rates of the rooms.
It should be noted that, the service option may retain the original format of the webpage contents, i.e. the service option may include text information, pictures and jump links in the webpage contents. After the service option is displayed in the contact page of the yellow-pages number, the process may jump to an address directed by a jump link in the webpage contents when it is detected that there is a jump instruction.
a illustrates an exemplary display showing a contact page of a yellow-pages number. The displayed basic information of the yellow-pages number includes a name “XX restaurant”, a phone number “Number 1” and an address “Address 1”. Here, the picture 1 is a phone identifier, and the picture 2 is an address identifier. When an instruction of clicking the “Picture 1” is received, the yellow-pages number may be dialed. When an instruction of clicking the “Picture 2” is received, a map, including a region where an address corresponding to “Address 1” of the yellow-pages number is located, may be displayed. Referring to
In step 203, when the information type identifier is the webpage type identifier and the service option information includes a webpage link, the terminal device acquires corresponding webpage contents according to the webpage link, determines the acquired webpage contents as the service option, and displays the service option corresponding to the service option information in the contact page of the yellow-pages number.
For example, when the information type identifier is the jump-link type identifier and the service option information includes the webpage link, the terminal device acquires all of the corresponding webpage contents according to the webpage link, determines all of the acquired webpage contents as the service option, and displays the service option corresponding to the service option information in the contact page of the yellow-pages number. When the information type identifier is the jump-link type identifier and the service option information includes a webpage link, the terminal device may also acquire a part of the corresponding webpage contents according to the webpage link, determines the acquired part of the webpage contents as the service option, and displays the service option corresponding to the service option information in the contact page of the yellow-pages number. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the acquired webpage contents disclosed above.
Alternatively, when the information type identifier is the jump-link type identifier and the service option information includes a webpage URL (Uniform Resource Locator), the terminal device acquires the webpage contents corresponding to the webpage URL, determines the acquired webpage contents as the service option, and displays the service option in the contact page of the yellow-pages number.
In step 204, when the information type identifier is the jump-link type identifier and the service option information includes a first illustrative text and an application identifier, the terminal device determines the first illustrative text as the service option, displays the service option corresponding to the service option information in the contact page of the yellow-pages number, establishes a mapping relationship between the first illustrative text and an application corresponding to the application identifier, and then a step 205 is performed.
Here, the first illustrative text may be a name of the application corresponding to the application identifier, or a subject matter of a service provided by the yellow-pages number. However, the present disclosure is not limited hereto.
It should be noted that, when the application corresponding to the application identifier has been already installed in the terminal device, after the terminal device determines the first illustrative text as the service option and displays the service option, the terminal device establishes the mapping relationship between the first illustrative text and the application corresponding to the application identifier. When the application corresponding to the application identifier has not been installed in the terminal device, the terminal device may display an installation notice that informs the user of accessing an application store to download the application corresponding to the application identifier, and after the application corresponding to the application identifier is installed in the terminal device, the terminal device establishes the mapping relationship between the first illustrative text and the application corresponding to the application identifier.
Referring to
In step 205, when an operation of triggering the first illustrative text is detected, the application corresponding to the application identifier is started according to the mapping relationship, and the process is finished.
Herein, the triggering operation may be an operation of clicking the first illustrative text, or a long press on the first illustrative text. However, the present disclosure is not limited hereto.
For example, when the operation of triggering the first illustrative text is detected, the application corresponding to the application identifier is started according to the mapping relationship. Here, after the application corresponding to the application identifier is started, a home interface of the application may be displayed, or an interface of the application corresponding to the function described by the first illustrative text may be displayed. However, the present disclosure is not limited hereto.
For example, referring to
In practice, an application that requires the input of additional information may be installed in the terminal device, so that more functions may be achieved by acquiring additional information inputted by the user when the application is used. For example, a function of prepaying for a mobile phone bill in the Alipay application requires inputting the phone number of the mobile phone, which serves as the additional information of the Alipay application. Accordingly, step 205 may include: when the operation of triggering the first illustrative text is detected, acquiring the additional information corresponding to the application identifier, starting the application corresponding to the application identifier according to the mapping relationship, and inputting the additional information in the interface of the application.
For example, when the operation of triggering the first illustrative text is detected, additional information required by the application corresponding to the application identifier is determined according to the first illustrative text, the additional information corresponding to the application identifier is acquired, the application corresponding to the application identifier is started according to the mapping relationship, and causing the additional information input into the interface of the application.
For example, referring to
In step 206, when the information type identifier is the jump-link type identifier and the service option information includes a second illustrative text and a corresponding webpage link, the second illustrative text is determined as the service option, the service option corresponding to the service option information is displayed in the contact page of the yellow-pages number, and then a step 207 is performed.
Here, the second illustrative text may be a webpage title of the corresponding webpage link or a part of the webpage contents, and the like. However, the present disclosure is not limited hereto.
For example, referring to
In step 207, when an operation of triggering the second illustrative text is detected, the process jumps to a webpage directed to by the corresponding webpage link, and then the process is finished.
Here, the trigger operation may be the click operation or the long press on the second illustrative text. However, the present disclosure is not limited hereto.
Referring to
It should be noted that, in the present disclosure, a plurality of functions may be provided through the yellow-pages number and a plurality of service options may be displayed in the contact page of the yellow-pages number. Alternatively, a slide bar is created in the contact page of the yellow-pages number so as to facilitate the user to view the plurality of service options.
Furthermore, when the number of the service options provided by the yellow-pages number exceeds a preset threshold, “more options” is determined as a first-level service option, a preset number of service options are selected, the preset number of service options are determined as the sub options of the first-level service option, and the first-level service option is displayed in the contact page of the yellow-pages number. When an operation of triggering the first-level service option is detected, the preset number of service option is displayed. The preset number of service options may be the service options corresponding to the service option information containing the webpage type identifier, or may be the service options corresponding to the service option information containing the jump-ink type identifier. However, the present disclosure is not limited hereto.
