Abstract

The present application provides an information recording method, apparatus, browser and electronic device. The method includes: displaying a quick navigation item on the browser; receiving a trigger signal acting on the quick navigation item; after receiving the trigger signal, opening the preset webpage file according to the file save path corresponding to the quick navigation item; recording information in the editable region of the preset webpage file opened. By opening a corresponding preset webpage file using the quick navigation item corresponding to the file save path, a user can record information in the preset webpage file. Since the preset webpage file does not need to be logged into by connecting to a server via a network, notes can be made using the preset webpage file when offline and since a large amount of content is recorded in the preset webpage file, time and traffic can be saved.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information recording method, which is applied in an electronic device containing a browser and characterized in that, the information recording method includes:
storing a preset webpage file carried in a browser installation package to a file save path of the electronic device when installing the browser, the file save path being a default install path or a user-specified path, wherein the preset webpage file is configured to display a local depiction of an interactive web page while the browser is in an offline state without connection to a server hosting the interactive web page;
adding a bookmark quick navigation item in the browser, wherein the bookmark quick navigation item is configured to, when triggered, identify a bookmarked webpage;
receiving an add request for adding a preset webpage quick navigation item, wherein the add request indicates interaction with an interactive icon included in a homepage presented via the browser;
after receiving the add request, acquiring the file save path of the preset webpage file stored in the electronic device;
adding the preset webpage quick navigation item in the browser, wherein the preset webpage quick navigation item corresponds to the file save path of the preset webpage file stored in the electronic device, and wherein the preset webpage quick navigation item is configured to be presented for inclusion as an interactive icon in the homepage of the browser;
displaying the interactive icon in the homepage of the browser;
receiving a trigger signal indicating selection of the interactive icon displayed in the homepage of the browser while the browser is in the offline state;
executing, by the browser, the preset webpage file to display the local depiction of the interactive web page within the browser while the browser is in the offline state, wherein the local depiction of the interactive web page includes an editable region configured to receive information input by a user;
receiving information input by the user into the editable region; and
saving the received information in the preset webpage file stored on the electronic device.

2. The information recording method according to claim 1 , further including, after receiving the information in the editable region:
receiving a save request for saving the received information as a text document; and
saving the received information as a text document and storing the text document in the electronic device.

3. An information recording apparatus, included in an electronic device configured to run a browser. and characterized in that the information recording apparatus includes a processor and a memory storing program codes, wherein the processor is configured to execute the program codes to:
store a preset webpage file carried in a browser installation package to a file save path when installing the browser, the file save path being a default install path or a user-specified path, wherein the preset webpage file is configured to display a local depiction of an interactive web page while the browser is in an offline state without connection to a server hosting the interactive web page;
receive an add request for adding a preset webpage quick navigation item, wherein the add request indicates interaction with an interactive icon included in a homepage presented via the browser;
acquire the file save path of the preset webpage file stored in the electronic device after receiving the add request;
add the preset webpage quick navigation item in the browser, wherein the preset webpage quick navigation item corresponds to the file save path of the preset webpage file stored in the electronic device, and wherein the preset webpage quick navigation item is configured to be presented for inclusion as an interactive icon in the homepage of the browser;
display the interactive icon in the homepage of the browser;
receive a trigger signal indicating selection of the interactive icon displayed in the homepage of the browser while the browser is in the offline state;
