Preset events related to a peer communication party are determined. The preset events are generated by operations performed by the peer communication party based on a communication application. Whether a communication page of a local communication party with the peer communication party is in an open state is detected. Description information of the preset events is displayed in an expedited processing page associated with the communication page in a centralized manner when the communication page is detected to be in an open state. Using the technical solutions of the present application, the local communication party can open and view the expedited processing page conveniently and quickly when communicating with the peer communication party, and view and process corresponding preset events, thereby further simplifying the user operations and improving processing efficiency. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: determining past preset events related to a peer communication party, the preset events including recorded description information describing historical operations performed by the peer communication party based on a communication application installed on a first electronic device;
