Abstract

Examples of the present disclosure provide a method, an apparatus, and a mobile terminal for obtaining information, and belong to a communication technology field. The method includes: enabling a function for scanning a two-dimensional code; obtaining a resource request; performing, based on the resource request, a resource-locating operation to locate requested resource information; and obtaining the located resource information. By this manner, a user does not need to manually input any information in a browser, and the browser may perform the resource-locating operation based on the resource request obtained through scanning the two-dimensional code. As such, operations of the browser may be simplified and the accuracy and efficiency of input may be improved.

Claims

1. A method for obtaining information, comprising:

monitoring an entry for scanning a two-dimensional code;

upon a triggering message associated with the entry is received, enabling a function for scanning the two-dimensional code;

scanning the two-dimensional code;

parsing the two-dimensional code to obtain a resource request carried by the two-dimensional code;

performing, based on the resource request, a resource-locating operation to locate requested resource information; and

obtaining the requested resource information.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the entry is in a browser.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the entry is a shortcut entry for scanning the two-dimensional code, and the shortcut entry is on a user interface;

and

the operation of enabling the function for scanning the two-dimensional code comprises;

when a triggering message associated with the shortcut entry is received, enabling the function for scanning the two-dimensional code.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the resource request comprises at least one of a uniform resource locator (URL) of a requested web page, a downloading address of requested resources, and text information.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein before the operation of performing, based on the resource request, the resource-locating operation, the method further comprises:

exiting the function for scanning the two-dimensional code.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein the operation of performing, based on the resource request, the resource-locating operation to locate the requested resource information comprises at least one of:

if the resource request comprises the URL of the requested web page, obtaining, based on the URL, a request for sending a web page from a server, and locating web page data associated with the URL;

if the resource request comprises the downloading address of the requested resources, querying the server for the downloading address, and locating downloading resources associated with the downloading address; and

if the resource request comprises the text information, opening a local search engine, inputting the text information to the search engine for searching, and locating a search result.

7. An apparatus for obtaining information, comprising:

a resource requesting module, configured to monitor an entry for scanning a two-dimensional code;

upon a triggering message associated with the entry is received, enable a function for scanning the two-dimensional code, and obtain a resource request carried by the two-dimensional code;

a resource locating module, configured to perform, based on the resource request, a resource-locating operation to locate requested resource information; and

a resource obtaining module, configured to obtain the requested resource information;

wherein the resource requesting module comprises;

a scanning unit, configured to scan the two-dimensional code; and

a parsing unit, configured to parse the two-dimensional code to obtain the resource request.

8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the entry is in a browser, the resource requesting module comprises:

a first enabling unit, configured to

monitor the entry in the browser; and

when the triggering message associated with the entry is received, enable the function for scanning the two-dimensional code.

9. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the entry is a shortcut entry for scanning the two-dimensional code, and the shortcut entry is on a user interface;

the resource requesting module comprises;

a second enabling unit, configured to

monitor the shortcut entry; and

when a triggering message associated with the shortcut entry is received, enable the function for scanning the two-dimensional code.

10. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the resource request comprises at least one of a uniform resource locator (URL) of a requested web page, a downloading address of requested resources, and text information.

11. The apparatus of claim 7, further comprising:

an exit module, configured to exit the function for scanning the two-dimensional code before the resource locating module performs the resource-locating operation.

12. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the resource locating module comprises at least one of:

a first locating unit, configured to obtain, if the resource request comprises the URL of the requested web page, a request for sending a web page from a server based on the URL, and locate web page data associated with the URL;

a second locating unit, configured to query, if the resource request comprises the downloading address of the requested resources, the server for the downloading address, and locate downloading resources associated with the downloading address; and

a third locating unit, configured to open a local search engine if the resource request comprises the text information, input the text information to the search engine for searching, and locate a search result.

13. A mobile terminal, comprising an apparatus for obtaining information, wherein the apparatus is configured to

monitor an entry for scanning a two-dimensional code,

upon a triggering message associated with the entry is received, enable a function for scanning the two-dimensional code,

obtain a resource request carried by the two-dimensional code,

perform, based on the resource request, a resource-locating operation to locate requested resource information, and

obtain the requested resource information;

wherein the apparatus is further configured to scan the two-dimensional code and parse the two-dimensional code to obtain the resource request.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with a plurality of instructions that when executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

monitoring an entry for scanning a two-dimensional code;

upon a triggering message associated with the entry is received, enabling a function for scanning the two-dimensional code;

scanning the two-dimensional code;

parsing the two-dimensional code to obtain a resource request carried by the two-dimensional code;

performing, based on the resource request, a resource-locating operation to locate requested resource information; and

obtaining the requested resource information.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the entry is in a browser.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the entry is a shortcut entry for scanning the two-dimensional code, and the shortcut entry is on a user interface;

the operation of enabling the function for scanning the two-dimensional code comprises;

when a triggering message associated with the shortcut entry is received, enabling the function for scanning the two-dimensional code.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the resource request comprises at least one of a uniform resource locator (URL) of a requested web page, a downloading address of requested resources, and text information.
