Abstract

Disclosed are a telephone-number-based information loading method and device, wherein the method comprises steps of: detecting a telephone number in current display contents on a terminal side; determining whether the telephone number carries a feature identifier; and if yes, then generating a dial option control that is based on the telephone number in the current display contents, and/or invoking entry information of a webpage type service previously associated with the telephone number. According to the present invention, it is possible to conserve bandwidth resources, while preventing the occurrence of a situation in which a user mistakenly enters a dangerous website because of a search error, resulting in a security threat or other losses.

Claims

1. A method of loading information based on telephone number, comprising:

detecting a telephone number in current display contents on a terminal side;

determining whether the telephone number carries a feature identifier, wherein the determining whether the telephone number carries a feature identifier further comprises;

matching the telephone number in a local database where one or more telephone numbers carrying feature identifiers are stored,

determining that the telephone number carries the feature identifier when the matching is successful,

when no telephone number in the local database that matches the telephone number exists, generating a query request in accordance with the telephone number, and

sending the query request to a server, and receiving a response message returned from the server representing that the telephone number carries the feature identifier, wherein the response message is generated when the server searches a database on a server side for the telephone number in accordance with the query request and when the telephone number is found; and

in response to a determination that the telephone number carries the feature identifier, generating a dial option control that is based on the telephone number in the current display contents or invoking entry information of a webpage type service previously associated with the telephone number.

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

dialing the telephone number when detecting a trigger operation of a user on the dial option control.

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

displaying a service page corresponding to the entry information of the webpage type service, when detecting that the dialing of the telephone number fails.

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

displaying a service page corresponding to the entry information of the webpage type service, when detecting the trigger operation of the user on the telephone number.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the feature identifier is a promotional identifier for a merchant.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the current display contents include at least one of contents of a page opened by a browser and a current session interface.

7. A device, comprising:

a memory having instructions stored thereon;

a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations, the operations comprising;

detecting a telephone number in current display contents on a terminal side;

determining whether the telephone number carries a feature identifier, wherein the operation of determining whether the telephone number carries a feature identifier further comprises;

matching the telephone number in a local database where one or more telephone numbers carrying feature identifiers are stored,

when the matching is successful, determining that the telephone number carries the feature identifier,

when no telephone number in the local database that matches the telephone number exists, generating a query request in accordance with the telephone number, and

sending the query request to a server, and receiving a response message returned from the server representing that the telephone number carries the feature identifier, wherein the response message is generated when the server searches a database on a server side for the telephone number in accordance with the query request and when the telephone number is found;

when it is determined that the telephone number carries the feature identifier, generating a dial option control that is based on the telephone number in the current display contents; and

when it is determined that the telephone number carries the feature identifier, invoking entry information of a webpage type service previously associated with the telephone number.

8. The device according to claim 7, wherein the operations further comprise:

dialing the telephone number when detecting a trigger operation of a user on the dial option control.

9. The device according to claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise:

displaying a service page corresponding to the entry information of the webpage type service when detecting that the dialing of the telephone number fails.

10. The device according to claim 7, wherein the operations further comprise:

displaying a service page corresponding to the entry information of the webpage type service when detecting the trigger operation of the user on the telephone number.

11. The device according to claim 7, wherein the feature identifier is a promotional identifier for a merchant.

12. The device according to claim 7, wherein the current display contents include at least one of contents of a page opened by a browser and a current session interface.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer programs stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors of an application server, cause the application server to perform operations, the operations comprising:

detecting a telephone number in current display contents on a terminal side;

determining whether the telephone number carries a feature identifier, wherein the operation of determining whether the telephone number carries a feature identifier further comprises;

matching the telephone number in a local database where one or more telephone numbers carrying feature identifiers are stored,

determining that the telephone number carries the feature identifier when the matching is successful,

generating a query request in accordance with the telephone number when no telephone number in the local database matches the telephone number,

sending the query request to a server, and receiving a response message returned from the server representing that the telephone number carries the feature identifier, wherein the response message is generated when the server searches a database on a server side for the telephone number in accordance with the query request and when the telephone number is found; and

in response to a determination that the telephone number carries the feature identifier, generating a dial option control that is based on the telephone number in the current display contents, or invoking entry information of a webpage type service previously associated with the telephone number.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 13, wherein the operations further comprise:

dialing the telephone number when detecting a trigger operation of a user on the dial option control.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 13, wherein the operations further comprise:

displaying a service page corresponding to the entry information of the webpage type service, when detecting the trigger operation of the user on the telephone number.
