Abstract

A method and apparatus for task information management, an electronic device and a computer readable storage medium are provided, and the present disclosure relates to the technical field of computer application, in particular to the field of information processing. A specific implementation solution is: generating task information according to a selected instant message, making a task creation interface pop up, and filling with recognized task information for editing by a user; and hooking a generated task in a dialog box in a form of a shortcut after creating the task. The task is created according to the selected instant message, so that manual operations of the user can be greatly reduced, it is quite convenient, a complicated step of looking for an entrance to a task information management function is omitted, and it is more convenient and faster to use. Besides, the task is displayed in the dialog box in the form of a shortcut so that follow-up management of the task can be greatly convenient for the user. In this way, task information management is more efficient, and easier to popularize and apply.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for task information management, comprising:
generating task information according to a selected first instant message in response to a first instruction for creating a task, displaying a task creation interface, and filling the task information into corresponding fields of the task creation interface for a user to edit;
creating the task according to values of respective fields in the task creation interface in response to a second instruction for confirming creation of the task, and hooking the task, as a shortcut, into a dialog box where the first instant message is located; and
detecting whether a duration between a current time and a preset time is shorter than or equal to a first time threshold, and if yes, pushing a third instant message into the dialog box so as to warn the user that there is a time limit for the task and the time limit is about to expire.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first instant message comprises a voice message, and correspondingly, the generating task information according to a selected instant message comprises:
performing voice recognition on a selected voice message to obtain the task information.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying a task editing interface in response to a third instruction for editing the task, and displaying task information corresponding to the task in respective fields of the task editing interface for the user to edit; and
updating the task according to values of the respective fields in the task editing interface in response to a fourth instruction for confirming updating of the task.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein after updating the task, the method further comprises:
pushing a second instant message into the dialog box so as to inform the user that the task has already been updated.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the second instant message comprises updated content of the task.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the pushing a second instant message into the dialog box comprises:
pushing a second instant message to a user who is associated with the task in the dialog box.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the shortcut displays status information of the task.

8. An electronic device, comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory in communication connection with the at least one processor; wherein
the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, and the instructions are executed by the at least one processor so as to enable the at least one processor to:
generate task information according to a selected first instant message in response to a first instruction for creating a task, display a task creation interface, and fill the task information into corresponding fields of the task creation interface for a user to edit;
create the task according to values of respective fields in the task creation interface in response to a second instruction for confirming creation of the task, and hook the task, as a shortcut, into a dialog box where the first instant message is located; and
detect whether a duration between a current time and a preset time is shorter than or equal to a first time threshold, and if yes, push a third instant message into the dialog box so as to warn the user that there is a time limit for the task and the time limit is about to expire.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the first instant message comprises a voice message, and correspondingly, the instructions executed by the at least one processor so as to enable the at least one processor to generate task information according to a selected instant message comprise instructions to:
perform voice recognition on a selected voice message to obtain the task information.

10. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the memory further stores instructions executed by the at least one processor so as to enable the at least one processor to:
display a task editing interface in response to a third instruction for editing the task, and display task information corresponding to the task in respective fields of the task editing interface for the user to edit; and
update the task according to values of the respective fields in the task editing interface in response to a fourth instruction for confirming updating of the task.

11. The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein the memory further stores instructions executed by the at least one processor so as to enable the at least one processor to:
push a second instant message into the dialog box so as to inform the user that the task has already been updated after updating the task.

12. The electronic device according to claim 11 , wherein the second instant message comprises updated content of the task.

13. The electronic device according to claim 11 , wherein the instructions executed by the at least one processor so as to enable the at least one processor to push a second instant message into the dialog box comprise instructions to:
push a second instant message to a user who is associated with the task in the dialog box.

14. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the shortcut displays status information of the task.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
generating task information according to a selected first instant message in response to a first instruction for creating a task, displaying a task creation interface, and filling the task information into corresponding fields of the task creation interface for a user to edit;
creating the task according to values of respective fields in the task creation interface in response to a second instruction for confirming creation of the task, and hooking the task, as a shortcut, into a dialog box where the first instant message is located; and
detecting whether a duration between a current time and a preset time is shorter than or equal to a first time threshold, and if yes, pushing a third instant message into the dialog box so as to warn the user that there is a time limit for the task and the time limit is about to expire.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein the first instant message comprises a voice message, and correspondingly, generating task information according to a selected instant message comprises:
performing voice recognition on a selected voice message to obtain the task information.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:
displaying a task editing interface in response to a third instruction for editing the task, and displaying task information corresponding to the task in respective fields of the task editing interface for the user to edit; and
updating the task according to values of the respective fields in the task editing interface in response to a fourth instruction for confirming updating of the task.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 17 , wherein after updating the task, the operations further comprise:
pushing a second instant message into the dialog box so as to inform the user that the task has already been updated.
