Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method, a client device and a server of accessing network information through a graphic code. The method comprises: receiving an access request from a client, where the access request includes information of a graphic code; querying and obtaining, in a server, display information and action instruction that is configured in correspondence with the information of the graphic code in the access request; and performing a corresponding action in the display information according to the action instruction information to obtain an access result of the graphic code. The disclosed method simplifies operations of a user without waiting for the user'"'"'s step-by-step operation requests, and further simplifies a handling process of the server. In addition, this method of directly returning an access result of a graphic code to a client fulfills an intention of a publisher of the graphic code.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving an access request from a client, wherein the access request includes information of a graphic code, the information of the graphic code corresponding to a particular combination of display information and action instruction information;

querying and obtaining the particular combination of display information and action instruction information from among a plurality of different combinations of display information and action instruction information;

performing a corresponding action according to the particular combination of display information and action instruction information to obtain an access result of the graphic code; and

storing a correspondence relationship between the access result and a login account in the server after obtaining the access result of the graphic code.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the graphic code comprises a two-dimensional code or a barcode.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the corresponding action is performed further in correspondence with the login account.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising configuring the plurality of different combinations of display information and action instruction information to correspond to a plurality of graphic codes.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein each of the plurality of graphic codes corresponds to a different one of the plurality of different combinations.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising distinguishing the particular combination of display information and action instruction information from among the plurality of different combinations of display information based on identification of the client and the information of the graphic code.

7. A client device comprising:

one or more processors;

memory;

an information sending module stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to send an access request to a server, wherein the access request includes information of a graphic code, the information of the graphic code corresponding to a particular combination of display information and action instruction information;

an information receiving module stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to receive the particular combination of display information and action instruction information that corresponds to the information of the graphic code in the access request from the server; and

an action execution module stored in the memory and executable by the one or more processors to perform a corresponding action according to the particular combination of display information and action instruction information to obtain an access result of the graphic code, wherein the information sending module is further configured to send the access result to the server to cause a correspondence relationship between the access result and a login account to be stored in the server.

8. The client device of claim 7, further comprising a graphic code collection module to collect the graphic code.

9. The client device of claim 8, wherein the graphic code collection module comprises at least one of an image input device or a scanning device.

10. The client device of claim 7, further comprising a graphic code identification module to identify the graphic code and obtain the information of the graphic code.

11. The client device of claim 7, wherein the graphic code comprises a two-dimensional code or a barcode.

12. The client device of claim 7, wherein the particular combination of display information and action instruction information received by the information receiving module is further in correspondence with the login account.

13. The client device of claim 7, wherein the client device comprises a mobile device configured with at least one of an image input device or a scanning device for collecting the graphic code.

14. The client device of claim 7, further comprising a screen for presenting the access result of the graphic code.

15. One or more computer-readable media storing executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:

receiving an access request from a client, wherein the access request includes information of a graphic code, the information of the graphic code corresponding to a particular combination of display information and action instruction information;

querying and obtaining the particular combination of display information and action instruction information from among a plurality of different combinations of display information and action instruction information;

performing a corresponding action according to the particular combination of display information and action instruction information to obtain an access result of the graphic code; and

storing a correspondence relationship between the access result and a login account in the server after obtaining the access result of the graphic code.

16. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 15, wherein the graphic code comprises a two-dimensional code or a barcode.

17. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 15, wherein the corresponding action is performed further in correspondence with the login account.

18. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 15, the acts further comprising configuring the plurality of different combinations of display information and action instruction information to correspond to a plurality of graphic codes.

19. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 18, wherein each of the plurality of graphic codes corresponds to a different one of the plurality of different combinations.

20. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 15, the acts further comprising distinguishing the particular combination of display information and action instruction information from among the plurality of different combinations of display information based on identification of the client and the information of the graphic code.
