A short message identification method, comprising: receiving, by means of an obtaining module, a short message via a terminal; extracting, by means of an identification module, key information from the short message via a preset short message identification engine to identify the short message; and providing, by means of a feedback module, the key information to applications associated with the key information, wherein extracting the key information comprises: classifying, by means of a classification sub-module, the short message to obtain a classification result corresponding to the short message, the classification result including a normal short message in which key information needs to be extracted or an abnormal short message in which key information needs not to be extracted; and extracting, by means of an identification sub-module, the key information from the short message by identifying the short message when the classification result corresponding to the short message is the normal short message, wherein providing the key information to the applications comprises: determining, by means of a determining sub-module, types of the key information; and based on associations between the types of the key information and the applications, sending, by means of a second sending sub-module, the key information to the applications associated with the types of the key information. receiving, by means of an obtaining module, a short message via a terminal; extracting, by means of an identification module, key information from the short message via a preset short message identification engine to identify the short message; and providing, by means of a feedback module, the key information to applications associated with the key information, wherein extracting the key information comprises: classifying, by means of a classification sub-module, the short message to obtain a classification result corresponding to the short message, the classification result including a normal short message in which key information needs to be extracted or an abnormal short message in which key information needs not to be extracted; and extracting, by means of an identification sub-module, the key information from the short message by identifying the short message when the classification result corresponding to the short message is the normal short message, wherein providing the key information to the applications comprises: determining, by means of a determining sub-module, types of the key information; and based on associations between the types of the key information and the applications, sending, by means of a second sending sub-module, the key information to the applications associated with the types of the key information. classifying, by means of a classification sub-module, the short message to obtain a classification result corresponding to the short message, the classification result including a normal short message in which key information needs to be extracted or an abnormal short message in which key information needs not to be extracted; and extracting, by means of an identification sub-module, the key information from the short message by identifying the short message when the classification result corresponding to the short message is the normal short message, wherein providing the key information to the applications comprises: determining, by means of a determining sub-module, types of the key information; and based on associations between the types of the key information and the applications, sending, by means of a second sending sub-module, the key information to the applications associated with the types of the key information. determining, by means of a determining sub-module, types of the key information; and based on associations between the types of the key information and the applications, sending, by means of a second sending sub-module, the key information to the applications associated with the types of the key information.
