Contact sorting method and apparatus for terminal

Abstract

The invention discloses a contact sorting method for a terminal, which comprises the steps of: extracting a first group of multiple contacts which are most frequent in contact in a first preset time period; displaying the first group of multiple contacts on the first page of a contact page of the terminal depending on the contact frequency by an order from higher one to lower one; and displaying a second group of multiple contacts on a page after the first page of the contact page of the terminal by an order depending on letters of names of the contacts. According to the contact sorting method, a sorting way by letter order is combined with a sorting way by using frequency, so that users are convenient to operate,the sorting rule is taken into consideration; the operation is simple, and the time and the operation of the users to search the contacts are saved. Furthermore, the invention discloses a contact sorting apparatus for a terminal and a mobile terminal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer science and technology, in particular to a method and device for sorting contacts in a terminal. Background technique [0002] At present, various terminals used by people are rich in user information, and the terminals store user information and provide users with query and search services. For example, the address book in the mobile terminal contains a large number of contacts. The sorting methods of the telephone address book contacts provided by the prior art are mainly divided into two types: the first is sorting alphabetically, and the Chinese is based on the first letter of the Chinese pinyin Sorting by alphabetical order is in line with the habits of most users, the sorting rules are clear and easy to find; the second is sorting by frequency of use, which can facilitate users to contact people they often communicate with. Reduced user lookup time. [0003] However, although the method of sorting ...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, although the alphabetical sorting method is in line with the user's habit of managing contact data, for some users who have saved a large amount of contact information, such as thousands of pieces of data, each alphabetical list is also very large, which is not easy to find

In fact, users may only be in frequent contact with a few of them, so the complexity of finding a person who is often in contact is exactly the same as finding a person who is rarely in contact

But if you choose to use frequency sorting, it will take more time and effort when users search for people who are rarely contacted
