[0062] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0063] It should be noted that the contact grouping method provided in this application is generally executed by a terminal device, and accordingly, the contact grouping device is generally set in the terminal device.

[0064] Figure 1 An exemplary system architecture that can be applied to the contact grouping method or contact grouping device of the present application is shown.

[0065] like Figure 1As shown, the system architecture may include: a terminal device 101 and a server 102. The terminal device 101 and the server 102 may communicate via a network, which is used as a medium for providing communication links between the above-mentioned units. The network may include various types of wired communication links or wireless communication links, for example: wired communication links include optical fibers, twisted pairs, or coaxial cables, and wireless communication links include Bluetooth communication links, wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) communication links, or microwave communication links.

[0066] Among them, the server 102 is a cloud server or an operator server. The terminal device 101 can back up the address book to the cloud server or query the location of the phone number in the operator server. The terminal device 101 obtains the address book for grouping.

[0067] It should be noted that the terminal device 101 and the server 102 can be hardware or software. When the terminal device 101 and the server 102 are hardware, they can be implemented as a distributed server cluster consisting of multiple servers, or as a single server. When the terminal device 101 and the server 102 are software, they can be implemented as multiple software or software modules (for example, to provide distributed services), or as a single software or software module, without specific limitation herein.

[0068] Various communication client applications can be installed on the terminal device of this application, such as: video recording applications, video playback applications, voice interaction applications, search applications, instant messaging tools, email clients, social platform software, etc.

[0069] The terminal device can be either hardware or software. When the terminal device is hardware, it can be various terminal devices with a display screen, including but not limited to smartphones, tablet computers, laptop computers, and desktop computers. When the terminal device is software, it can be installed in the terminal devices listed above. It can be implemented as multiple software or software modules (for example, to provide distributed services), or it can be implemented as a single software or software module, which is not specifically limited here.

[0070] When the terminal device is hardware, it may also be equipped with a display device and a camera. The display device can be any device capable of displaying a video, and the camera is used to capture video streams. For example, the display device may be a cathode ray tube display (CR), a light-emitting diode display (LED), an electronic ink screen, a liquid crystal display (LCD), or a plasma display panel (PDP). Users can use the display device on the terminal device to view displayed text, images, videos, and other information.

[0071] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of terminal devices, networks, and servers in the embodiment is only illustrative. Any number of terminal devices, networks, and servers may be used as needed.

[0072] The following will be combined with the Figure 2 , the contact grouping method provided by the embodiment of the present application is described in detail. Among them, the contact grouping device in the embodiment of the present application can be Figure 1 The terminal device shown.

[0073] See Figure 2 , which provides a flow chart of a contact grouping method according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0074] like Figure 2 As shown, the method of the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps:

[0075] S201: Obtain a set of contact information in the address book.

[0076] Among them, the terminal device obtains all the contact information in the address book to generate a contact information set. The contact information set includes multiple contact information. The contact information includes: field values ​​such as contact name and phone number. In order to facilitate grouping, users may set group labels for certain contact information, for example: group labels are colleagues, classmates, poker friends, etc., not all contact information is set with group labels.

[0077] S202: Filter contact information with grouping tags from the contact information set, and generate a first subset according to the filtering result.

[0078] Among them, the terminal device traverses the contact information set, queries the field values ​​included in each contact information, and filters out the contact information with grouping tags to generate a first subset, that is, the contact information included in the first subset all has grouping tags, and the type of grouping tags may be one or more.

[0079] S203: For the first subset, group the contact information with the same grouping label into the same group.

[0080] Among them, the terminal device divides the contact information with the same grouping label in the first subset into the same group, and the contact information in the same group has the same grouping label. For example, the grouping label of all contact information in one group is "classmates", and the grouping label of all contact information in another group is "colleagues".

[0081] It should be noted that if there is no contact information with a grouping tag in the contact information set, that is, all contact information does not include a grouping tag, then the step of grouping according to the grouping tag is not performed, and the corresponding first subset is an empty set, that is, the first subset does not contain any elements.

[0082] S204: Obtain a second subset after removing the first subset from the contact information set.

[0083] According to the grouping result of S203, after the terminal device removes the first subset from the contact information set, the remaining elements form a second subset.

[0084] S205: For the second subset, group the contact information whose contact names include the same designated entity into the same group.

[0085] Among them, for each contact information in the second subset, the contact name in each contact information is obtained, and the entity included in each contact name is detected according to the entity detection algorithm, and the contact information corresponding to the contact name including the same designated entity is divided into the same group. The designated entity can be: relative name, company name, industry name, etc., that is, the contact information with relative names is divided into the same group, the contact information with the same company name is divided into the same group, and the contact information with the same industry name is divided into the same group.

[0086] The specific process includes: extracting the contact name of each contact information in the second subset; detecting the entities contained in each contact name according to the entity detection algorithm; filtering out the contact names whose entities are preset designated entities; the designated entities include: relative names, company names, and industry names; and based on the screening results, dividing the contact information corresponding to the contact names of the same designated entity into the same group.

[0087] For example: in the group of relatives, the contact names included are: cousin, eldest brother, second brother, ninth uncle, uncle, grandmother, grandfather, grandfather, and aunt. In the group of banks, the contact names included are: Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Agricultural Bank of China, AA Credit Union, and China Merchants Bank. In the group of Gree Electric Appliances, the contact names included are: Gree Engineer Tan, Gree Engineer Wang, and Gree Commuter Driver. In the group of Baidu Electric Appliances, the contact names included are: Baidu Engineer Li and Baidu Engineer Zhang. It can be seen that the contact names in each group have the same designated entity, and the type of the designated entity can be flexibly configured according to the default setting of the terminal device or by the user entering the configuration interface of the address book. This is not limited in this application.

[0088] S206: Eliminate the grouped contact information from the second subset to obtain a third subset.

[0089] According to the grouping result of S205 , the grouped contact information in the second subset is removed, and the remaining contact information is used to form a third subset.

[0090] It should be noted that if the second subset does not contain contact information of a specified entity, the second subset is an empty set.

[0091] S207: For the third subset, group the contact information with the same phone number into the same group.

[0092] Among them, for each contact information in the third subset, the telephone number of each contact information is obtained, and then the location of each telephone number is queried. The query method can be to query in the operator server or in the local location database, and the contact information with the same location is divided into the same group.

[0093] S208: Divide the ungrouped contact information in the third subset into one group.

[0094] According to the grouping result of S207, all the contact information (eg, customer service phone numbers) in the third subset whose location cannot be identified are divided into one group, thereby completing the grouping of all contacts in the contact information set.

[0095] S209: Count the number of elements in each group and generate a group name for each group according to the grouping result of the contact information set.

[0096] Among them, the number of elements is the number of contact information contained in the group, and the group name represents the name of the group, which can be determined by the classification rule of the group, specifically: the name of the group classified according to the group label is the group label, the name of the group classified according to the specified entity is the specified entity, the name of the group classified according to the place of origin is the place of origin, and the group name of the group where the contact information of the group is located in the third set in S208 is other.

[0097] S210: When it is detected that the user opens the address book, the group control of each group is displayed; when a click action of the group control is detected, the contact control associated with each contact information in the group is displayed.

[0098] Among them, when the user issues an open command through the input unit, the terminal device responds to the open command and displays the group controls of each group on the address book interface. The group control is a visual graphic control in the image interface. Each group corresponds to a group control. The group controls can be displayed in the address book interface in order from top to bottom. Each group control is set with the number of elements and the group name.

[0099] For example, see Figure 3 In the address book interface shown, when the user opens the address book, the terminal device displays the grouping controls of each group in order from top to bottom. The grouping controls are rectangular in shape. The first grouping control is named "Baidu" and has 5 elements, which means it contains 5 contact information. The second grouping control is named "Gree" and has 51 elements, which means it contains 51 contact information. This shows that when the user opens the address book, the grouping controls are in a collapsed state, which can save screen space and reduce the problem of complicated operation steps when users search for contacts due to page turning.

[0100] When a group control is in the collapsed state, when the terminal device detects a click action on a group control, which can be triggered by an input device such as a mouse, touch screen, or keyboard, the group control is switched to the expanded state. In the expanded state, a contact control for managing the information of each contact in the group is displayed below the group control, with each contact information being associated with a contact control. The contact control is a graphical control with a contact name set on it. It is easy to understand that when a group control is in the expanded state and a click action on the group control is detected, the group control is controlled to switch to the collapsed state.

[0101] Based on the above example, see Figure 4In the interface diagram shown, when the terminal device detects a click on the fifth grouping control in the address book interface, it determines the seven contacts contained in the grouping control and then displays the contact controls corresponding to the seven contacts below the grouping control. The names of the contact controls are Cui Gong, Dong Gong, Huang Gong, Ma Gong Bu Shou, Wang Gong, Wu Gong, and Xu Gong. When a user clicks on a contact control, an editing interface containing the contact information is displayed, where the user can set the values ​​of various fields of the contact information.

[0102] For example: See Figure 5 The editing interface shown in the figure, the user clicks the input unit Figure 4 When the fourth contact control is displayed Figure 5 The editing interface shown shows the values ​​of various fields of the contact information. The user can edit the field values ​​of the contact information in the editing interface as needed.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present application, the contact controls corresponding to the grouped controls can be arranged according to the first letter of the contact name to meet the user's daily usage habits. Furthermore, the contact controls corresponding to the grouped controls can be arranged in descending order based on the number of clicks on the contact controls within a preset time period, that is, contact controls with a high number of clicks are arranged before contact controls with a low number of clicks, so that the contact controls that users frequently use are arranged in front, improving user search efficiency.

[0104] Correspondingly, the arrangement order of each group control can also be arranged according to the first letter of the group name or the number of clicks. For details, please refer to the arrangement principle of the contact control, which will not be repeated here.

[0105] In some embodiments of the present application, in order to distinguish the contact control from the group control, the background colors of the contact control and the group control are set to different colors. The specific colors can be determined according to actual needs. For example, the background color of the group control is set to blue, and the background color of the contact control is set to white.

[0106] In some embodiments of the present application, a terminal device can respond to a user's drag action by dragging a contact control or a group control to a specified location. The drag action can be performed by the user using a mouse or a touch screen, and the specified location is the location where the drag action ends. It should be noted that the contact control can only be dragged under the group control. When the group control is dragged, the associated contact control is also dragged together. This allows the user to adjust the position of the group control or the contact control according to their own usage habits.

[0107] In an embodiment of the present application, the contact information in the address book is grouped using group labels, designated entities, and locations to reduce the number of groups. In addition, the group controls in the address book interface are displayed in a collapsed state according to the grouping results, which can reduce the screen controls occupied by the group controls. When the group control is clicked, the contact controls under the group control are expanded so that the user can view the detailed contact information under the group. In summary, the present application reduces the possibility of paging the address book by reducing the number of groups and reducing the controls occupied by the group controls in the address book interface. In this way, when the user searches for the target contact, the problem of low search efficiency due to page turning is reduced, thereby improving the efficiency of finding the target contact.
