[0028] FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for generating a desktop shortcut according to an example of the present disclosed desktop shortcut application 155. FIG. 2 is a simplified diagram according to one embodiment of the present invention. This diagram is merely an example, which should not unduly limit the scope of the claims. One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize many variations, alternatives, and modifications.
[0029] As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes at least the following processes.
[0030] At block 201 , a mobile terminal transmits an visit request for visiting CP contents to a server, such that the server generates visit response information according to the visit request, wherein the visit response information includes a CP icon and a CP content link.
[0031 ] In this block, the mobile terminal may transmit the visit request to the server through calling a system communication interface of the mobile terminal by a first application installed in the mobile terminal.
[0032] After receiving the visit request, the server generates the visit response information according to the visit request and transmits the visit response information to the mobile terminal. The visit response information includes a CP icon and a CP content link.
[0033] At block 202, the mobile terminal receives the visit response information returned by the server.
[0034] At block 203, the mobile terminal calls a system interface of the mobile terminal according to the visit response information, transmits a shortcut generating request carrying the visit response information to a system of the mobile terminal, such that the system generates a desktop shortcut for the CP contents according to the visit response information.
[0035] In this example, the first application of the mobile terminal transmits the visit request for visiting CP contents to the server through calling the system communication interface. After receiving the visit request, the server returns visit response information including the CP icon and the CP content link to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal transmits the shortcut generating request according to the visit response information to the system of the mobile terminal. The system generates the desktop shortcut according to the visit response information. Thus, a user of the mobile terminal is capable of browsing CP contents via the desktop shortcut on the mobile terminal, which is convenient for the user. [0036] The CP contents are digital CP contents fit to be displayed on the mobile terminal. The CP contents may be encapsulated by other devices and directly obtained by the server. Or, the server may encapsulate the CP contents by the server itself. Various encapsulation methods may be adopted to digitalize the CP contents.
[0037] The user of the mobile terminal may know the CP contents through an address of the CP contents or other methods (e.g., through searching, or linked from other contents). The first application of the mobile terminal calls the system communication interface and transmits a visit request to the server.
[0038] After receiving the visit request transmitted by the mobile terminal, the server generates the visit response information according to the visit request and transmits the visit response information to the mobile terminal. The visit response information includes the CP icon and the CP content link. The CP icon may be a picture representing the CP contents. The CP content link may be a link of the CP contents in the server.
[0039] After receiving the visit response information, the mobile terminal calls the system interface according to the visit response information, transmits the shortcut generating request carrying the visit response information to the system. The system generates the desktop shortcut for the CP contents according to the visit response information. In one example, the mobile terminal may transmit broadcast information to the system, wherein the broadcast information includes the CP icon and the CP content link. After receiving the broadcast information, the system generates the desktop shortcut automatically.
[0040] After the desktop shortcut is generated on the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal may further transmit prompt information to the server indicating that a desktop shortcut has been generated for the CP contents.
[0041 ] In this example, the mobile terminal directly calls the system interface after receiving the visit response information and transmits a shortcut generating request to the system. This implementation manner is applicable for most mobile terminals. However, this implementation manner may be inapplicable for some mobile terminals. For these mobile terminals, the shortcut has to be generated by calling the system interface using a browser or an application.
[0042] In particular, for these mobile terminals, after the mobile terminal receives the visit response information, a second application (such as a browser or another application) of the mobile terminal calls the system interface and transmits the shortcut generating request to the system. In other words, the above process of calling the system interface according to the visit response information and transmitting the shortcut generating request to the system includes:
the first application transmits the visit response information to the second application; and the second application calls the system interface according to the visit response information and transmits the shortcut generating request to the system.
[0043] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for generating a desktop shortcut according to another example of the present disclosure. FIG. 3 is a simplified diagram according to one embodiment of the present invention. This diagram is merely an example, which should not unduly limit the scope of the claims. One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize many variations, alternatives, and modifications.
[0044] In this example, the mobile terminal transmits a visit request through scanning a two-dimensional code corresponding to the CP contents.
[0045] As shown in FIG. 3, the method includes the following processes.
[0046] At block 301 , the mobile terminal scans a two-dimensional code corresponding to CP contents to be visited, and generates a visit request for visiting the CP contents according to scanned information of the two-dimensional code.
[0047] At block 302, the mobile terminal transmits the visit request to a server, such that the server generates visit response information according to the visit request and transmits the visit response information to the mobile terminal, wherein the visit response information includes a CP icon and a CP content link.
[0048] At block 303, the mobile terminal receives the visit response information returned by the server.
[0049] At block 304, the mobile terminal calls a system interface according to the visit response information, transmits a shortcut generating request carrying the visit response information to the system, such that the system generates a desktop shortcut for the CP contents according to the visit response information.
[0050] In this example, the user is not required to know the address of the CP contents. Through scanning the two-dimensional code, the mobile terminal is capable of transmitting the visit request to the server, which is convenient for the user.
[0051 ] In this example, the two-dimensional code is corresponding to the CP contents to be visited. It may be exhibited on magazines, advertisements, or other media. The two-dimensional code may be generated via various kinds of methods, which is not restricted in the present disclosure. After the two-dimensional code corresponding to the CP contents is distributed, the user of the mobile terminal is able to visit the CP contents through scanning the two-dimensional code.
[0052] In accordance with the above methods, an example of the present disclosure provides a mobile terminal. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a mobile terminal according to an example of the present disclosure. FIG. 4 is a simplified diagram according to one embodiment of the present invention. This diagram is merely an example, which should not unduly limit the scope of the claims. One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize many variations, alternatives, and modifications. [0053] As shown in FIG. 4, the mobile terminal includes:

a shortcut generating module 403, adapted to call a system interface according to the visit response information, transmit a shortcut generating request including the visit response information to a system of the mobile terminal, such that the system generates a desktop shortcut for the CP contents according to the visit response information.
[0054] In this example, the request transmitting module 401 may transmit the visit request to the server through calling a system communication interface of the mobile terminal.
[0055] The user of the mobile terminal may know the CP contents through an address of the CP contents or other methods (e.g., through searching, or linked from other contents). The request transmitting module 401 of the mobile terminal calls the system communication interface and transmits a visit request to the server.
[0056] The mobile terminal may also generate the visit request through scanning a two-dimensional code corresponding to the CP contents. Thus, the user is not required to know the address of the CP contents. Through scanning the two-dimensional code, the request transmitting module 401 of the mobile terminal is capable of transmitting the visit request to the server, which is convenient for the user.
[0057] In this example, the mobile terminal directly calls the system interface after receiving the visit response information and transmits a shortcut generating request to the system. This implementation manner is applicable for most mobile terminals. However, this implementation manner may be inapplicable for some mobile terminals. For these mobile terminals, the shortcut has to be generated calling the system interface using a browser or an application.
[0058] In particular, for these mobile terminals, after the mobile terminal receives the visit response information, a second application (such as a browser or another application) of the mobile terminal calls the system interface and transmits the shortcut generating request. In other words, the shortcut generating module 403 transmits the visit response information to the second application; and the second application calls the system interface according to the visit response information and transmits the shortcut generating request to the system.
[0059] In this example, the processor 410 may execute the program modules in the memory 420 to further execute all or some of the processes described in the above method examples, which is not repeated herein.
