Terminal Contact Information Extraction from Short Messages
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In traditional communication systems, updating contact information in an address book is cumbersome and inefficient, requiring manual extraction and processing of information from short messages, which can lead to errors.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for automatically updating contact information in a terminal device by analyzing short messages for specific contact information fields, such as email addresses, mobile phone numbers, or instant messenger IDs, and prompting the user to select an action to update the address book using predefined determination conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual extraction of contact information from short messages is used, then the user can update contact information, but the operation is complicated and easily executed incorrectly
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically extracts contact information from short messages without requiring manual user intervention. The contact information determination module autonomously identifies and extracts relevant fields (phone numbers, email addresses, instant messenger IDs) from the message content, eliminating the need for users to manually copy and paste information while reducing errors associated with manual extraction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual extraction process with an automated information processing system. The contact information determination module uses algorithmic recognition to identify contact fields in short messages, substituting the manual mechanical operation of copying and pasting with automated digital processing that is both simpler and more accurate.
2Productivity
If manual extraction and processing of contact information is performed, then the user can update the address book, but the information processing efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically processing contact information extraction and validation without requiring user time and effort. The contact information determination module autonomously processes the entire workflow from receiving the short message to identifying extractable contact fields, eliminating the time loss associated with manual extraction and processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-processing the short message content to identify and extract contact information fields before the user needs to update the address book. The contact information determination module analyzes the message structure and extracts relevant data in advance, readying the information for immediate insertion into the address book without requiring additional user processing time.
3Ease of operation
If automated extraction of contact information is implemented, then the operation is simplified and efficiency is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the contact information processing system into distinct functional modules: a contact information determination module that identifies extractable fields, an extraction module that retrieves the actual data, and an update module that inserts the information into the address book. This modular segmentation reduces overall system complexity by making each component independent and manageable while maintaining ease of operation.
Data Source
AI summary
A communication connection is established with an information sending terminal. A short message sent from the information sending terminal is received. The short message is displayed on a display page. The short message is analyzed to identify whether a contact information field is in the short message by using a contact information determination condition. The contact information field is extracted from the short message when an identification result shows that the contact information field is in the short message. A box is displayed on the display page on which the short message is displayed to prompt a user to make a selection from function items to process the contact information field. The address book of the terminal device is updated by using the contact information field based on a function item selected by the user.
