The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for processing information. The method includes: receiving a message entered by a user in an information interface and recognizing a type of the message; based on the type of the message, calling an application to process contents of the message; receiving a processing result generated by the application in processing the contents of the message; and in addition to displaying the message in the information interface, displaying information related to the processing result in the information interface.

Embodiments are directed to implementing localized jump lists and to generating a locale-specific jump list. In one scenario, a computer system sends a synchronization request to receive a current contact list that includes a user's contacts. The computer system receives both a synchronized contact list and a locale-specific jump list, which includes jump header sort keys that indicate the relative sorting position of each jump header. The computer system receives a user input indicating that the user has selected a specified jump header and intends to jump to a specified point in the contact list. The computer system then jumps to the user-specified point in the contact list using the jump header sort key that corresponds to the selected jump header in the locale-specific jump list and displays the contact list to the user at the selected jump header that was jumped to using the jump header sort key.

An electronic device having a call handling function and operation method therefor are provided. The electronic device may include a display, a memory configured to store first contact information of a counterpart, a transceiver, and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to control for sending a request for first contact information of the counterpart through the transceiver to an external electronic device in response to a user request, receiving second contact information of the counterpart through the transceiver from the external electronic device, and presenting the first contact information and second contact information on the display.

Embodiments present a game in which an ordered plurality of characters is presented for entry by a user with a touch screen, a physical keyboard, or other key input layout. The game advances to each successive character when the user presses the intended character or a character adjacent thereto. Contact areas are determined for each press, and in some embodiments the contact areas are overlaid on the keyboard. The contact areas are used to adjust user-specific touch models to improve text entry by the user. In some embodiments, the contact areas indicate areas for improvement by the user. Game completion statistics are calculated including speed and accuracy.

A user equipment configured to receive a user input associated with a phone number is described herein. The phone number may be associated with a party the user is intending to call or message. The user equipment and an associated network may determine a personal identifier, such as an individual or entity name, associated with the phone number regardless of whether or not the phone number is included in a phone book or address book associated with the user. The user equipment may also present or display the personal identifier to the user prior to connecting the call or sending the message.

A method including detecting an input to a cellular device, the input corresponding to at least a portion of one or more identifiers corresponding with a respective content stored in the cellular device, displaying on the cellular device a list of the respective content associated with the input and enabling a user to select one or more of the content in the list.

A quick dialing method executable on a communication device includes detecting an action by a user on a touch screen of the communication device; dialing a selected quick contact when the detected action is a preselected triggering action.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for selecting database items from a database, where the database items are indexed by a list of item identifiers. The item identifiers may be in the form of text. An initial display is generated which includes one or more parts of the item identifiers. Selection of the one or more parts may be made and results in the generation of a display of a further one or more parts for selection. The further one or more parts may be selected in order to add to the selected one or more parts to build a larger part or whole of an item identifier. Selection from a large list of item identifiers may be carried out in a relatively short time period.

A method performed by a mobile communications device, including: populating a central database on the device with a title for each of a plurality of software modules installed on the device and associating each title with its software module; populating the central database with at least one keyword associated with each of the plurality of software modules and associating each keyword with its software module; receiving at the device a search query; displaying at the device a search result identifying at least one of the software modules installed on the device having either a title or one or more associated keywords matching the search query; and in response to receiving at the device a selection of a software module identified in the search result, activating the selected software module.
