Taking fig. 2C and 2D as an example, the time axes may be presented in a sequence from 2016 before, as shown in fig. 2C, or in a reverse sequence from 2015, as shown in fig. 2D, and fig. 2C and 2D are only two specific presentation methods, and are not limited to these, and will not be described in detail here.

For example, after the user clicks the "year 2015" option as in fig. 2D, the terminal expands the notes of year 2015 according to the hierarchy of months, as shown in fig. 2E, and note 6 and note 7 are located under month 8 and month 9, respectively, to which the added time point belongs. In one embodiment, the icon is a thumbnail of the note.

For example, after the user clicks the "8 month" option and the "9 month" option as in fig. 2E, the terminal expands the months in 2015 year by the date hierarchy, as shown in fig. 2F, with note 6 and note 7 located under dates 8 month 27 and 9 month 13 to which the added time point belongs, respectively.

The foregoing describes how to expand by month after clicking the "year" option, for example, after clicking "2015 year", 2015 year is expanded by month, and after clicking "2016 year", 2016 year is expanded by month, of course, the "expand by month" option may also be clicked, 2015 year and 2016 year may both be expanded by month, and month expansion is managed in a unified manner, and of course, there are other implementation manners, which are not described in detail herein.

Similarly, the method may be a method of expanding according to the date after clicking the "month" option, or may also be a method of expanding according to the date, and may expand 2015 and 2016 according to the date to perform unified management on date expansion.

That is, in the "by time" presentation dimension, the notes are arranged in chronological order or reverse order of creation and support a scaled presentation of three levels of years, months, days, or other levels of presentation.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the note taken may be further refined, and in this case, optionally, the refined note may be placed under the time of the modified time point, and therefore, the method further includes:

For example, if note 7 shown in FIG. 2D is modified, the point in time of the modification belongs to 2016, then note 7 after the modification is placed 2016 below, as shown in FIG. 2G.

In the embodiment of the present invention, in a time hierarchy presentation manner, after a certain note is clicked, the specific content of the note is presented, and after a user clicks a note 1 in fig. 2G, the specific content of the note 1 is presented, as shown in fig. 2H.

In another embodiment, after clicking any note icon of a certain year, the notebook is expanded according to a month mode, and after clicking any note icon of a certain month, the notebook is expanded according to a date. And the specific content of the note is not presented until the note is clicked again after the time axis which is the minimum unit is expanded.

In the foregoing, a manner of presenting notes arranged according to time is described, in the embodiment of the present invention, the notes may also be presented according to book names, and therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the responding to the dimension selection operation on the notes includes:

presenting an operation in response to the book name arrangement for the note;

the presenting the note in the selected dimension includes:

Referring to fig. 2I, note 1 is under the book name of "Guangrong & dream", notes 2, 3, 4 are under the book name of "Hongholding & constitutional history", note 5 is under the book name of "Snail story painting", note 6 is under the book name of "essence data analysis", and note 7 is under the book name of "and ancient are apprentices and beautiful hair houses".

In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the book name is presented as follows:

In another embodiment, the order of book presentation may be arranged according to a user-defined priority, which is not specifically limited herein.

In the embodiment of the invention, a plurality of notes may be in one book, and for any book, when at least two notes are added in any book, the adding time point closest to the current time point is used as the adding time point of the notes added in any book.

For example, if the addition time points of note 2, note 3, and note 4 shown in fig. 2I are 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively, 2016 is taken as the addition time point of note addition of book [ carry and constitution history ].

In the embodiment of the present invention, further, a book architecture of a book corresponding to the title of the book may be hierarchically expanded, and therefore, the method further includes:

For example, after receiving a catalog expansion operation for the book structure of book "how to read a book" shown in fig. 2J, the book structure of book "how to read a book" is expanded according to the chapter catalog level, as shown in fig. 2K, and after receiving a chapter catalog expansion operation for the book structure under the interface shown in fig. 2K, the book structure of book "how to read a book" is expanded according to the chapter catalog level, as shown in fig. 2L, and further, after specifically clicking the note in fig. 2L, the specific content of the clicked note is presented, as shown in fig. 2M.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the note to be taken may be further refined, and in this case, optionally, the name of the book to which the note after being refined belongs may be placed at the top, that is, further, the method further includes:

In the embodiment of the invention, for convenience of searching or management, a label can be added to the note, namely the note has a corresponding label.
