Abstract

An information processing method and an electronic device are provided to rend key content of a short message in picture and text so that the user may observe the key content of the short message clearly and quickly. The method includes extracting target content from the content of a short message upon receiving the short message, with the target content corresponding to a preset field of the short message and generating and displaying a graphics-text card according to the target content, such that content rendered in the graphics-text card is matched with the content of the short message.

Claims

1. An information processing method applied to an electronic device with a processor configured to perform the information processing method, comprising:

extracting target content from content of a short message upon receiving the short message, the target content corresponding to a preset field of the short message; and

generating and displaying a graphics-text card according to the target content, wherein content rendered in the graphics-text card is matched with the content of the short message.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

obtaining sender information of the short message before generating and displaying the graphics-text card;

determining a preset graphics-text card template corresponding to the short message from at least one graphics-text card template according to the sender information;

wherein the step of generating the graphics-text card comprises updating the preset field of the preset graphics-text card template with the target content.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of generating the graphics-text card comprises:

obtaining sender information of the short message;

judging, based on the sender information, whether at least one card comprises a first graphics-text card, wherein the first card is generated according to a historical short message received from the sender; and

adding the target content into the first graphics-text card according to a preset rule for displaying the historical short message in the first graphics-text card, if the at least one card comprises the first card.

4. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

a first application judging whether event information is included in the content rendered by the graphics-text card, after displaying the graphics-text card, the first application being used to generate the graphics-text card according to the short message; and

the first application generating an event reminder according to the event information in the graphics-text card, if the event information is included in the content rendered by the graphics-text card.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein, the first application generating an event reminder according to the event information in the graphics-text card comprises:

the first application determining a priority in relation to the graphics-text card when generating the event reminder according to a first parameter among multiple parameters of the event information; and

generating the event reminder according to the determined priority and the event information of the graphics-text card.

11. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored therein computer program instructions which, when being executed by a processor of an electronic device, performs the method of claim 1.

6. An electronic device, comprising:

a housing;

a receiver operative to receive a short message;

a processor connected to the receiver and operative to extract target content from content of the short message upon receiving the short message, the target content corresponding to a preset field of the short message; and

to generate a graphics-text card according to the target content; and

a display arranged on a surface of the housing, connected to the processor, and operative to display the graphics-text card, wherein content rendered in the graphics-text card is matched with the content of the short message.

7. The electronic device of claim 6, wherein the processor is operative to obtain sender information of the short message before generating and displaying the graphics-text card to determine a preset graphics-text card template corresponding to the short message from at least one graphics-text card template, according to the sender information;

and to update the preset field of the preset graphics-text card template with the target content.

8. The electronic device of claim 6, wherein the processor is operative to obtain sender information of the short message;

to judge, based on the sender information, whether at least one card template comprises a first graphics-text card, wherein the first card is generated according to a historical short message receiving from the sender; and

to add the target content into the first graphics-text card according to a preset rule for displaying the historical short message in the first graphics-text card, if the at least one card comprises the first card.

9. The electronic device of claim 7, wherein the processor is further operative to control a first application to judge whether event information is included in the content rendered by the graphics-text card, after the display displays the graphics-text card, the first application being used to generate the graphics-text card according to the short message;

and to control the first application to generate an event reminder according to the event information in the graphics-text card, if the event information is included in the content rendered by the graphics-text card.

10. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the processor is operative to control the first application to determine a priority in relation to the graphics-text card when generating the event reminder, according to a first parameter among multiple parameters of the event information;

and to generate the event reminder according to the determined priority and the event information of the graphics-text card.
