Short message group sending method and terminal equipment

[0055]Example one

[0056]The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for group sending of short messages, such asfigure 1 As shown, the method for group SMS sending specifically includes the following steps:

[0057]101. When a terminal device sends a short message to M contact groups, the terminal device retrieves the contact information of the M contacts from the contact database pre-stored in the terminal device.

[0058]Among them, the above-mentioned contact information includes the name and number of the contact, and M is a natural number greater than 2. The above-mentioned terminal devices include but are not limited to mobile phones, handheld computers, notebook computers, smart TVs, or medical monitors, such as wired or group SMS messaging Wireless electronic equipment; the above-mentioned contact database may be a built-in address book on the terminal device, or may be a contact information table stored in an external storage device, which is not limited here. Exemplarily, the terminal device may retrieve the contact information of the M contacts from the contact database of the terminal device according to the contact names of the M contacts, or may also retrieve the contact information of the M contacts according to the contact category to which the M contacts belong (eg, Family members, colleagues, alumni, etc.), retrieve the contact information of M contacts from the contact database of the terminal device. Wherein, the contact names of the M contacts mentioned above may be that the terminal device obtains the contact names of the M contacts from the voice information, text information, and picture information input by the user.

[0059]102. If the contact information of N of the M contacts is retrieved from the contact database, the terminal device will input the contact information of each of the N contacts according to a predetermined input format Enter them one by one into the contact input box on the SMS editing interface of the terminal device.

[0060]Wherein, the aforementioned parameter N is a natural number, and M>N≥0. Exemplarily, the foregoing predetermined input format is a designated character input format used by the terminal device to identify the contact name and number in the contact information, and the predetermined input format of the contact information is to add a name after the contact name and number. End character and a number end character, and add an entry end character after the contact information. Among them, the name end character is used to indicate that the name input has ended; the number end character is used to indicate that the number input has ended; the entry end character is used to indicate that the input of the contact's contact information has ended; because the contact name can be in Chinese Name, English name or other name, therefore, the content corresponding to the name can be composed of Chinese characters, English alphabet characters or other language characters; the content corresponding to the number can be composed of numeric characters corresponding to Arabic numerals; name ending character , Number end character and item end character can be composed of symbol characters. For example: When the predetermined input format is: Xiao Wang<123456>; Lucy<654321>When, among them, "Xiaowang" and "Lucy" are the contact names, "123456" and "654321" are the contact numbers, "<" is the end of the name, ">"Is the end of the number, and ";" is the end of the entry.

[0061]Exemplarily, when the user needs to simultaneously send short messages to M contacts through the short message group sending function on the terminal device, the terminal device will first retrieve the contact information of the aforementioned M contacts in its pre-stored contact database. When only the contact information of N contacts is retrieved in the contact database, the terminal device will parse the retrieved contact information of the N contacts in turn, and analyze the information of the N contacts obtained after the analysis. The contact name and number are sequentially converted into a predetermined input format and imported into the contact input box of the SMS editing interface for display.

[0062]103. In the contact input box of the terminal device, the terminal device manually enters the contact information of each of the other (M-N) contacts in the M contacts in sequence according to a predetermined input format.

[0063]Among them, the aforementioned manual input refers to a wired or wireless input device that the user can input through a touch screen, a handwriting pad, an external keyboard or a mouse, etc., to input the contact information of the aforementioned MN contacts into the contacts of the terminal device Enter the box.

[0064]Exemplarily, after the terminal device obtains the contact names and numbers of N contacts with a predetermined input format from the pre-stored contact database, it fails to retrieve other (MN) contacts in the contact database The contact information of a person needs to be manually entered to complete the contact information of the (MN) contact. At this point, according to the predetermined input format of the terminal device, enter the contact name and number corresponding to the (MN) contact in the contact input box of the SMS editing interface in turn, and you can get the information that has not been retrieved in the contact database. And display the contact information of the (MN) contacts with a predetermined input format in the contact input box of the short message editing interface.

[0065]104. The terminal device extracts the contact name and number corresponding to the contact information of each of the M contacts, and retrieves whether the content of the short message edited by the user includes a name field field.

[0066]Exemplarily, the terminal device displays the acquired contact information of the M contacts in the contact input box of the short message editing interface, and then extracts the M contacts from the video memory in the contact input box of the short message editing interface The contact name and number corresponding to each contact in the person. For example: When the terminal device records the contact information of each contact according to the following predetermined input format: Xiao Wang<123456>; Lucy<654321>; When the terminal device will end the name according to the "<", number ending character ">", and the end of entry ";" extract the contact name "Xiaowang" and "Lucy" from the above contact information, and the contact number "123456" and "654321", and use the extracted contact name and number For the next step.

[0067]It should be noted that when the terminal device retrieves whether the text message edited by the user contains the name field field, it can be retrieved while the terminal device retrieves the contact’s name and number, or the terminal device retrieves the contact Search before or after the contact name and number, and there is no restriction here.

[0068]105. If it is retrieved that the content of the short message contains a name field field, the terminal device sequentially replaces the substitute characters in the name field field of the short message content with the contact name corresponding to each of the M contacts, and Send to the corresponding contact number.

[0069]Wherein, the aforementioned name field is a character used to display the name of the contact in the content of the short message. The aforementioned substitute character is a character preset by the terminal device for marking the name field in the short message content.

[0070]Exemplarily, when a short message needs to be sent through the SMS group sending function, the terminal device first retrieves whether the content of the short message edited by the user contains a name field field, and if the short message content does not contain a name field field, the short message is directly sent as a normal short message To the contact number corresponding to the first contact; if the name field is included, the terminal device extracts the contact name and number corresponding to the first contact from the contact names and numbers of the M contacts extracted in step 103 Person’s name and number, and replace the alternate characters in the name field with the contact name of the first contact, and then send the edited text message to the contact number corresponding to the first contact. After the contact successfully sends the SMS, the terminal device starts to extract the contact name and number of the second contact, and replace the substitution characters in the name field with the contact name of the second contact, and then the edited SMS Send to the contact number corresponding to the second contact, and then follow the above steps to send SMS to the remaining contacts in turn. After the terminal device successfully sends the SMS to the contact number corresponding to the Mth contact, the SMS group sending process End.

[0071]According to the method for sending short messages in an embodiment of the present invention, when a terminal device sends a short message to M contact groups, the terminal device retrieves the contact information of N of the M contacts from the contact database, and then retrieves And enter the contact information of each of the N contacts into the contact input box of the SMS editing interface of the terminal device according to the predetermined input format, and enter the other ( MN) The contact information of each contact in the contacts is manually input into the contact input box in sequence according to the predetermined input format; the contact name and the contact information corresponding to the contact information of each of the M contacts are extracted The name field is included in the text message content edited by the user; if the name field field is included in the text message content, the name of each contact in the M contacts is used in turn. The replacement characters in the domain field are replaced and sent to the corresponding contact number.

[0072]In this way, based on the above description, the present invention stores and displays the contact name and number of each contact in the contact input box of the terminal device by using a predetermined input format, so that the terminal device can read from the predetermined input format according to the predetermined input format. The contact input box quickly parses out the contact name and number corresponding to each contact, and replaces the replacement characters in the text message with the contact name of each contact in turn, thereby solving the problem of not storing the contact in the terminal device. When the contact’s name is used, the problem of the inability to send a short message containing the contact’s name to the contact through the SMS group sending function, which makes the content of the short message sent by the terminal device to the contact more targeted, and allows the contact to receive After the short message, there will be no feeling of receiving the group message, and the expected sending effect will be achieved.
