determining, by the server, information selected in the display page by the user; and if the selected information does not pass the verification, updating, by the server, the display page to comprise error description information for the selected information. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising: receiving, by the server, an online editing request initiated by the user; and editing, by the server, information in the error comparison file according to the online editing request. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising: receiving, by the server, an online correction request initiated by an information provider, wherein the online correction request is initiated by the information provider based on a correction invitation sent by the user; and providing, by the server, an online correction interface to the information provider, wherein the online correction interface comprises related information in the information importing file that corresponds to the information provider, for the information provider to perform correction. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method according to claim 10, wherein the online correction interface only comprises the related information corresponding to the information provider, wherein the related information corresponding to the information provider comprises: all information provided by the information provider, or a problematic field in the information provided by the information provider. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising: uploading, by a terminal, the information importing file to the server, for the server to verify information included in the information importing file and import the information into the system; and receiving, by the terminal, the error comparison file returned by the server. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method according to claim 12, further comprising: initiating, by the terminal, a correction invitation to an information provider corresponding to the information in the information importing file that does not pass the verification, for the information provider to perform correction. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method according to claim 13, wherein: the correction invitation is used for instructing the information provider to initiate an online correction request to the server, for the information provider to perform correction by using an online correction interface provided by the server; or the online correction request is used for instructing the information provider to return corrected information corresponding to the information in the information importing file that does not pass the verification; and the method further comprises: editing, by the terminal, the information importing file or the error comparison file according to the corrected information; or initiating, by the terminal, an online editing request to the server according to the corrected information, to perform editing by using an online editing interface provided by the server. ### Claim 15 One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing instructions executable by one or more processors, wherein execution of the instructions causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: receiving an information importing file uploaded by a user, wherein the information importing file comprises information for importing into a system;
