Abstract
A computer device comprises a display and a processor. The processor is configured to: intercept information sent from an application, to be displayed on the display; identify an information entity in the intercepted information, comprised in a predefined set of information entity types; reformat appearance of the identified information entity to be displayed on the display; forward the intercepted information including the reformatted appearance of the identified information entity to be displayed on the display. The display is configured to: present the identified information entity with the reformatted appearance to the user of the computer device. Also a corresponding method is disclosed.
Claims9
A computer device, comprising:
- a display;
- at least one processor;
- and
- one or more memories coupled to the at least one processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor to cause the computer device to:
- intercept information to be displayed on the display, wherein the information is sent through an application;
- identify, in the intercepted information, an information entity that matches at least one information entity type in a predefined set of information entity types, wherein the predefined set of information entity types comprises person name, address, and phone number, and wherein each information entity type in the predefined set of information entity types has a corresponding relationship with a mapped application;
- reformat appearance of the identified information entity to be displayed on the display, wherein the application is an instant messaging application, the intercepted information comprises an instant message when identifying the information entity that matches the at least one information entity type in the predefined set of information entity types, and
- display the intercepted information including the reformatted appearance of the identified information entity on the display, wherein the reformatted appearance of the identified information entity is different from an appearance of a remaining portion of the intercepted information;
- map the identified information entity with a mapped application, based on the information entity type of the identified information entity and the corresponding relationship;
- create a shortcut link between the identified information entity and the mapped application, wherein the shortcut link causes the mapped application to execute on the computer device when selected;
- and
- display the shortcut link.

A displaying method, comprising:
- intercepting information sent through an application, to be displayed on a display of a computer device;
- identifying, by the computer device, in the intercepted information, an information entity that matches at least one information entity type in a predefined set of information entity types, wherein the predefined set of information entity types comprises person name, address, and phone number, and wherein each information entity type in the predefined set of information entity types has a corresponding relationship with a mapped application;
- when identifying the information entity that matches the at least one information entity type in the predefined set of information entity types, reformatting appearance of the identified information entity to be displayed on the display, wherein the application is an instant messaging application, the intercepted information comprises an instant message, and
- displaying the intercepted information including the reformatted appearance of the identified information entity on the display, wherein the reformatted appearance of the identified information entity is different from an appearance of a remaining portion of the intercepted information;
- mapping the identified information entity with a mapped application, based on the information entity type of the identified information entity and the corresponding relationship;
- creating a shortcut link between the identified information entity and the mapped application, wherein the shortcut link causes the mapped application to execute when selected;
- and
- displaying the shortcut link on the computer device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program code which, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform operations comprising:
- intercepting information sent through an application, to be displayed on a display of a computer device;
- identifying, by the computer device, in the intercepted information, an information entity that matches at least one information entity type in a predefined set of information entity types, wherein the predefined set of information entity types comprises person name, address, and phone number, and wherein each information entity type in the predefined set of information entity types has a corresponding relationship with a mapped application;
- when identifying the information entity that matches the at least one information entity type in the predefined set of information entity types, reformatting appearance of the identified information entity to be displayed on the display, wherein the application is an instant messaging application, the intercepted information comprises an instant message, and
- displaying the intercepted information including the reformatted appearance of the identified information entity on the display, wherein the reformatted appearance of the identified information entity is different from an appearance of a remaining portion of the intercepted information;
- mapping the identified information entity with a mapped application, based on the information entity type of the identified information entity and the corresponding relationship;
- creating a shortcut link between the identified information entity and the mapped application, wherein the shortcut link causes the mapped application to execute when selected;
- and
- displaying the shortcut link on the computer device.
