The invention provides an information detection method, an information transmission method, an information processing method, an information receiving method, a terminal and network equipment. The detection method comprises the following steps of: detecting; under the condition that N pieces of downlink control information scheduled for the target service and in a preset format are detected, stopping detecting the downlink control information scheduled for the target service in the time unit, or stopping detecting the downlink control information scheduled for the target service in other preset formats in the time unit. According to the embodiments of the present invention, on one hand, by limiting the number and/or format of downlink control information detected by a terminal, the numberof blind detection times of the terminal in a time unit is reduced on the premise of not exceeding the maximum number of blind detection times supported by the terminal, so as to reduce the terminal complexity, improve the terminal processing time and reduce the terminal processing power consumption; and on the other hand, the embodiment of the invention allows the terminal to report the downlinkcontrol information detection capability information so as to assist the network equipment in judging the scheduling of the terminal and improve the performance of the terminal.
