Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and device for managing information, relating to the field of terminal information management, and solving the problem of cumbersome operation of information management. The method includes displaying, at a mobile terminal comprising a microprocessor, a network connection, and a display, a calendar interface, and when an operating instruction indicating extended display input by a user is detected on the calendar interface, displaying, at the mobile terminal, associated information corresponding to a date at a preset display position of the calendar interface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for managing information, comprising:
displaying, at a mobile terminal comprising a microprocessor, a network connection, and a display, a calendar interface comprising a plurality of display sub-regions corresponding to respective dates, all of the plurality of display sub-regions having a same original height; and
when an operating instruction indicating extended display input by a user is detected on the calendar interface, displaying, at the mobile terminal, the dates in a chronological order in the plurality of display sub-regions and associated information corresponding to the dates at respective preset display positions in respective display sub-regions of the calendar interface,
wherein the operation of displaying the associated information corresponding to the dates at respective preset display positions of the calendar interface comprises:
extracting the associated information corresponding to the date, the associated information comprising weather information and at least one of schedule information or user associated information, wherein the user associated information comprises user subscription information;
determining, in a display sub-region corresponding to each of the dates, the preset display position of the date on the calendar interface, the display position at least comprising a position below the date; and
displaying the associated information at the preset display position corresponding to the date, wherein all of the plurality of display sub-regions have their associated information completely displayed in the calendar interface, and all of the plurality of display sub-regions have a same extended height determined by the display sub-region having most pieces of associated information to be displayed.

2. The method for managing information of claim 1 , wherein the operating instruction input by the user is detected by:
acquiring, at the mobile terminal, operating information input by the user through an input device, the input device comprising at least one of the following devices:
a keyboard,
a touch screen, and
a voice recognition device;
comparing, at the mobile terminal, the operating information input with at least one set of preset operating instruction characteristics, at least one set of operating instruction characteristics corresponding to one operating instruction; and
when one or more operating instruction characteristics matches the operating information, determining, at the mobile terminal, that the user has input the operating instruction corresponding to the operating instruction characteristics.

3. The method for managing information of claim 1 , further comprising:
when it is detected on the calendar interface that the user has input an operating instruction indicating triggering of schedule setting, acquiring, at the mobile terminal, schedule information input by the user and corresponding to a date, and
saving, at the mobile terminal, the schedule information in a calendar application.

4. The method for managing information of claim 1 , further comprising:
when it is detected on the calendar interface that the user has input an operating instruction for setting a weather application, setting, at the mobile terminal, that weather information is acquired from the weather application.

5. The method for managing information of claim 1 , wherein the operation of displaying the associated information corresponding to the dates at respective preset display positions of the calendar interface comprises:
detecting, at the mobile terminal, an operating instruction indicating adjustment of display input by the user, the operating instruction indicating adjustment of display at least comprising any one of following operating instructions:
dragging a drop-down slider of the display position, and
expanding or narrowing the display position;
in response to the operating instruction for dragging the drop-down slider of the display position, performing, at the mobile terminal, scroll display on the associated information at the display position; or,
in response to the operating instruction for expanding or narrowing the display position, displaying, at the mobile terminal, the associated information so as to adapt to the expanded or narrowed display position.

6. The method for managing information of claim 4 , wherein the operation of displaying the associated information corresponding to the dates at respective preset display positions of the calendar interface comprises:
detecting, at the mobile terminal, an operating instruction indicating adjustment of display input by the user, the operating instruction indicating adjustment of display at least comprising any one of following operating instructions:
dragging a drop-down slider of the display position, and expanding or narrowing the display position;
in response to the operating instruction for dragging the drop-down slider of the display position, performing, at the mobile terminal, scroll display on the associated information at the display position; or,
in response to the operating instruction for expanding or narrowing the display position, displaying, at the mobile terminal, the associated information so as to adapt to the expanded or narrowed display position.

7. The method for managing information of claim 1 , further comprising: after the operation of displaying, at the mobile terminal, the associated information corresponding to the dates at respective preset display positions of the calendar interface:
when an operating instruction indicating thumbnail display input by the user is detected on the calendar interface, folding up, at the mobile terminal, the preset display positions, and canceling the display of the associated information.

8. The method for managing information according to claim 1 , wherein the user associated information further comprises a to-do list of the user.

9. A device for managing information, comprising:
a display screen;
one or more processors; and
a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by the one or more processors,
wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
cause the display screen to display a calendar interface comprising a plurality of display sub-regions corresponding to respective dates, all of the plurality of display sub-regions having a same original height; and
when an operating instruction indicating extended display input by a user is detected on the calendar interface, display the dates in a chronological order in the plurality of display sub-regions and associated information corresponding to the dates at respective preset display positions in respective display sub-regions of the calendar interface,
wherein the operation of displaying the associated information corresponding to the dates at respective preset display positions of the calendar interface comprises:
extracting the associated information corresponding to the date, the associated information comprising weather information and at least one of schedule information or user associated information, wherein the user associated information comprises user subscription information;
determining, in a display sub-region corresponding to each of the dates, the preset display position of the date on the calendar interface, the display position at least comprising a position below the date; and
displaying the associated information at the preset display position corresponding to the date, wherein all of the plurality of display sub-regions have their associated information completely displayed in the calendar interface, and all of the plurality of display sub-regions have a same extended height determined by the display sub-region having m
