The embodiment of the present application takes an Android system with a layered architecture as an example, and exemplarily illustrates a software structure of the electronic device 100.

Fig. 2 is a block diagram of a software structure of the electronic device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application. The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, each layer having a clear role and division of labor. The layers communicate with each other through a software interface. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers, an application layer, an application framework layer, an Android runtime (Android runtime) and system library, and a kernel layer from top to bottom. The application layer may include a series of application packages.

As shown in fig. 2, the application packages may include camera, gallery, calendar, phone call, map, navigation, WLAN, bluetooth, music, video, short message, etc. applications.

The application framework layer provides an Application Programming Interface (API) and a programming framework for the application program of the application layer. The application framework layer includes a number of predefined functions.

As shown in FIG. 2, the application framework layer may include a content provider, a content accessor, a window manager, a view system, a phone manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, etc.

Content providers (content providers) are used to store and retrieve data and make it accessible to applications. The data may include video, images, audio, calls made and answered, browsing history and bookmarks, phone books, short messages, etc.

Content accessor (content resolver): application A may access the data provided by the content provider of application B through the content resolver of application A.

In order to interact data between applications, Android provides content provider, which is a standard API for data interaction between different applications. When an application needs to expose its data to other applications for use, the application can be implemented by a content provider.

When other applications need to use the data, the data exposed by the content provider can be operated by a content accessor (content resolver) regardless of whether the application providing the data is started. The operation data may include query data (query ()) and the like.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the operation data may include query data, for example, data provided by the content provider of the application B may be accessed by the application a through a query interface in the content resolver of the application a. The operation data may also include others, such as, for example, add data (insert ()), delete data (delete ()), update data (updata ()), and the like.

Illustratively, application A may add data to the content provider of application B through an insert interface in the content resolver of application A.

Illustratively, application A may delete data from the content provider of application B through the delete interface in the content resolver of application A.

For example, application A may update data in the content provider of application B through the updata interface in the content resolver of application A.

The data provided by the content provider may be from a database, a file, or data on a network (for example, data acquired from a cloud side or data acquired from a server).

For example, the data provided by the contact data provider may be from a contact database, which may be a contact provider (contact provider) in the application layer; or, the data provided by the contact data provider can also come from a certain file locally stored by the electronic device; alternatively, the data provided by the contact data provider may also come from the cloud side.

The window manager is used for managing window programs. The window manager can obtain the size of the display screen, judge whether a status bar exists, lock the screen, intercept the screen and the like.

The view system includes visual controls such as controls to display text, controls to display pictures, and the like. The view system may be used to build applications. The display interface may be composed of one or more views. For example, the display interface including the short message notification icon may include a view for displaying text and a view for displaying pictures.

The phone manager is used to provide communication functions of the electronic device 100. Such as management of call status (including on, off, etc.).

The resource manager provides various resources for the application, such as localized strings, icons, pictures, layout files, video files, and the like.

The notification manager enables the application to display notification information in the status bar, can be used to convey notification-type messages, can disappear automatically after a short dwell, and does not require user interaction. Such as a notification manager used to inform download completion, message alerts, etc. The notification manager may also be a notification that appears in the form of a chart or scroll bar text at the top status bar of the system, such as a notification of a background running application, or a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window. For example, prompting text information in the status bar, sounding a prompt tone, vibrating the electronic device, flashing an indicator light, etc.

The Android runtime comprises a core library and a virtual machine. The Android runtime is responsible for scheduling and managing an Android system.

The core library comprises two parts: one part is a function which needs to be called by java language, and the other part is a core library of android.

The application layer and the application framework layer run in a virtual machine. And executing java files of the application program layer and the application program framework layer into a binary file by the virtual machine. The virtual machine is used for performing the functions of object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, safety and exception management, garbage collection and the like.

The system library may include a plurality of functional modules. For example: surface managers (surface managers), media libraries (media libraries), three-dimensional graphics processing libraries (e.g., OpenGL ES), 2D graphics engines (e.g., SGL), and the like.

The surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provide fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications.

The media library supports a variety of commonly used audio, video format playback and recording, and still image files, among others. The media library may support a variety of audio-video encoding formats, such as MPEG4, h.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, and the like.

The three-dimensional graphic processing library is used for realizing three-dimensional graphic drawing, image rendering, synthesis, layer processing and the like.

The 2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawing.

The kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. The inner core layer at least comprises a display driver, a camera driver, an audio driver and a sensor driver.

Fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of data access between application a and application B. As shown in fig. 3, application a (app a) accesses the content provider of application b (app b) through the content resolver of application a.

When data access is performed, the content resolver of the application a needs to use a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), which is an identifier that the content resolver of the application a performs data interaction with the content provider of the application B.

Illustratively, a URI may be divided into four parts:

topic name (schema): URI prefix of content provider. For example, the URI prefix of the content provider may be specified by Android as content: //;

authorization information (authority): since this content provider is uniquely identified, the content resolver can find the corresponding content provider according to this identification.

Path (path): an item (item) under the URI that is used to determine the path of the request (which data is accessed). Common here would be the names of tables in the database.

Identification (ID) of requested specific data: if the URI contains an identifier representing the requested specific data, the content provider can return the specific data corresponding to the identifier to the content resolver; if the identity of the particular data being requested is not present, it indicates that all of the data needs to be returned.

For example, to operate a record with an ID of 10 in the contact list of the contact database, a path may be constructed that: content:// contact provider/contact/10.

For example, to operate the contact list of the contact database with a record name (name) field with an ID of 10, a content resolver may construct such a path: content:// contact provider/contact/10/name.

For example, content resolver is to operate all favorite contact records in the contact list of the contact database, and may construct a path: content:// contact provider/vip _ contact.

In the embodiment of the application, the favorite contact can be a contact which is manually added into a contact favorite by a user or automatically added into the contact favorite by electronic equipment according to a preset rule.

For example, content resolver is to operate the email addresses of all contacts in the contact list of the contact database, and may construct such a path: content:// contact provider/contact/email address.

For example, content resolver is to operate all call records in the call record list of the contact database, and may construct a path as follows: content:// contact provider/calls.

For example, content resolver is to operate all short message records in the short message list of the short message database, and may construct such a path: content:// message _ log/messages.

It should be understood that the identification of the particular data being requested in the URI is optional.

It should also be understood that the data to be operated by the content resolver may be from other storage means such as files, besides from the database. Illustratively, to operate a name node under a contact node in an extensible markup language (XML) file, such a path may be constructed: content:// contact product/contact/name.

The above describes how the content resolver of the application a accesses the content provider of the application b (app b), and the following describes the data in the database in the content provider of the application b (app b). A database in a contact application, such as a contact provider, is taken as an example for illustration.

Illustratively, table 1 shows a list of contacts and their corresponding information in the contacts application database.

TABLE 1 contact and corresponding information List

ID	Contact person	Mobile phone number 1	Mobile phone number 2	Address	Mailbox address
						1	User A	187××××	151××××	Address 1	517310229@qq.com
2	User B	182××××	NULL	Address 2	187××××@163.com
						3	User C	186××××	187××××	NULL	NULL
4	User D	156××××	NULL	NULL	NULL
						5	User E	177××××	NULL	NULL	NULL
6	User F	152××××	NULL	NULL	NULL
						…	…	…	…	…	…

It should be understood that table 1 is merely illustrative and that the information corresponding to each contact may include less or more information. For example, the information corresponding to each contact may also include work address information, nickname information, birthday information, and the like.

Illustratively, when an application needs to query a contact and information corresponding to the contact in a contact application database, a content resolver corresponding to the application may call a query interface to send a corresponding URI to a query interface of a content provider corresponding to the contact application, where the URI may be content:// content provider/contact. After the query interface of the content provider of the contact application receives the URI, it may be determined that the application program needs to query the contact and the information corresponding to the contact in the database of the contact application, and after the information is found from the database, the query interface of the content provider of the contact application may return the queried information to the query interface of the content resolver corresponding to the application program.

Illustratively, when an application program only needs to query a contact and information corresponding to the contact in the contact and information corresponding to the contact, the content resolver corresponding to the application program may call a query interface to send a corresponding URI to a query interface of a content provider corresponding to the contact application, where the URI may be content:// content provider/contact/email address. After the query interface of the content provider of the contact application receives the URI, it can be determined that the application program needs to query the contact and the mailbox address information corresponding to the contact, and after the information is found from the database, the query interface of the content provider of the contact application can return the queried information to the query interface of the content resolver corresponding to the application program.

For example, the information that the query interface of the content provider of the contact application can return the query to the query interface of the content resolver corresponding to the application program may be as shown in table 2.

TABLE 2 information returned by the query interface of the content provider for a contact application

ID	Contact person	Mailbox address
			1	User A	517310229@qq.com
2	User B	187××××@163.com
			3	User C	NULL
4	User D	NULL
			5	User E	NULL
6	User F	NULL
			…	…	…

Illustratively, table 3 shows a list of information for call records for contacts in the contacts application database.

TABLE 3 information List of call records for contacts

ID	Contact person	Total number of calls	Number of calls in this month	Last time of conversation
					1	User A	100	20	2019/04/15 09:45:32
2	User B	85	15	2019/04/14 18:32:21
					3	User C	30	0	2019/03/20 15:14:58
4	User D	65	5	2019/04/08 13:17:06
					5	User E	77	2	2019/04/06 08:45:36
6	User F	32	1	2019/04/10 12:52:20
					…	…	…	…	…

It should be understood that table 3 is merely illustrative and that less or more information may be included in the list of information for the call records. For example, the call record corresponding to each contact may further include the earliest call time, the latest week number of calls, and the like.

Illustratively, when an application needs to query a call record in a contact application, a content resolver corresponding to the application may call a query interface to send a corresponding URI to a query interface of a content provider corresponding to the contact application, where the URI may be content:// content provider/calls. After receiving the URI, the query interface of the content provider of the contact application may determine that the application program needs to query the information of the call record in the database of the contact application, and after finding the information from the database, the query interface of the content provider of the contact application may return the queried information to the query interface of the content resolver corresponding to the application program.

Illustratively, when an application needs to query the total call times in the call records, the content resolver corresponding to the application may call the query interface to send a corresponding URI to the query interface of the content provider corresponding to the contact application, where the URI may be content:// content provider/calls/total number of calls. After the query interface of the content provider of the contact application receives the URI, it may determine that the application program needs to query the information of the total number of calls in the call record, and after finding the information from the database, the query interface of the content provider of the contact application may return the queried information to the query interface of the content resolver corresponding to the application program.

For example, the information that the query interface of the content provider of the contact application can return the query to the query interface of the content resolver corresponding to the application program may be as shown in table 4.

TABLE 4 information returned by the query interface of the content provider for a contact application

ID	Contact person	Total number of calls
			1	User A	100
2	User B	85
			3	User C	30
4	User D	65
			5	User E	77
6	User F	32
			…	…	…

Illustratively, table 5 shows a list of information for favorite contacts in the contacts application database.

TABLE 5 information List of favorite contacts

ID	Contact person	Whether it is a favorite contact
			1	User A	Is that
2	User B	Is that
			3	User C	Whether or not
4	User D	Whether or not
			5	User E	Whether or not
6	User F	Whether or not
			…	…	…

It should be understood that the above tables 1, 3 and 5 may be stored in the database of the contact application in a plurality of tables, any two tables may be combined in one table, and the tables 1, 3 and 5 may be stored in the database of the contact application separately.

Illustratively, table 6 shows the short message list information in the short message application database.

Table 6 short message list information

It should be understood that table 6 is merely exemplary and that less or more information may be included in the short message list. For example, the short message record corresponding to each contact may further include the earliest receiving/sending time, the latest week number of mutual short message sending, and the like.

Illustratively, when an application needs to query a short message list in a short message application, a content resolver corresponding to the application may call a query interface to send a corresponding URI to the query interface of a content provider corresponding to the short message application, where the URI may be content:// message _ log/messages. After the query interface of the content provider of the short message application receives the URI, it may be determined that the application program needs to query the short message list information in the short message application database, and after finding the information from the database, the query interface of the content provider of the contact application may return the queried information to the query interface of the content resolver corresponding to the application program.

Illustratively, when an application needs to query the total number of times of sending messages to each other in a short message list in a call record, a content resolver corresponding to the application may call a query interface to send a corresponding URI to a query interface of a content provider corresponding to a contact application, where the URI may be content:// message _ log/messages/total number of messages. After the query interface of the content provider of the short message application receives the URI, the information of the total times of sending short messages to each other in the call record, which is needed to be inquired by the application program, can be determined, and after the information is found from the database, the query interface of the content provider of the contact application can return the inquired information to the query interface of the content resolver corresponding to the application program.

For example, the information that the query interface of the content provider of the contact application can return the query to the query interface of the content resolver corresponding to the application program may be as shown in table 7.

TABLE 7 information returned by the query interface of the content provider of the short message application

ID	Contact person	Total number of times of sending short messages to each other
			1	User A	55
2	User B	30
			3	User C	10

For convenience of understanding, the following embodiments of the present application will specifically describe, by taking a mobile phone having a structure shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2 as an example, a method for adding a mail contact provided by the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 4 shows a set of Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) of a cell phone.

Referring to fig. 4 (a), the GUI is a desktop 401 of a mobile phone. When the mobile phone detects that the user clicks an icon 402 of an email Application (APP) on the desktop 401, the email application may be started to display a GUI as shown in (b) of fig. 4, where the GUI may be referred to as an email application interface. The mail application interface comprises an address book, an inbox, an outbox, a draft box, a VIP (very important person) mail contact person and the like, wherein the address book comprises the information of the name, the mailbox address, the mobile phone number and the like of the addressee recorded by a user. Referring to (b) in fig. 4, when the mobile phone detects an operation of clicking the control 403 by the user, a GUI as shown in (c) in fig. 4 may be displayed.

A VIP mail contact refers to a particularly important mail contact that the system may specially mark to alert the user for mail from the VIP mail contact, such as a star symbol next to its name; alternatively, a folder is added for each VIP mail contact to facilitate the user to view all of the mails of the VIP mail contact.

Referring to the GUI shown in (c) of fig. 4, the GUI is an address book interface of a mail application, and the address book of the mail application includes 10 mail contacts. When the mobile phone detects that the user clicks the control 404 corresponding to the mail contact, the mobile phone may add the corresponding mail contact to the VIP mail contact.

Referring to the GUI shown in (d) in fig. 4, the GUI is a VIP mail contact interface of the mail application, and when the mobile phone detects that the user clicks controls 404 corresponding to Apple, Bob, and Charles in the mail contact, the mobile phone may add Apple, Bob, and Charles to the VIP mail contact. The user can click on the corresponding Apple in the VIP mail contact person, so that the mail information interacted with the Apple can be checked.

Referring to the GUI shown in (e) in fig. 4, which is a setting interface of the mail application, when the mobile phone detects an operation of clicking the setting control 405 by the user, the GUI shown in (e) in fig. 4 may be displayed. The GUI includes account settings, mail text size settings, settings of whether to always send themselves closed, and settings of whether to automatically add VIP contacts, etc. When the cell phone detects an operation of the user to open the control 406 that automatically adds the settings of the VIP contacts, a GUI as shown in (f) of fig. 4 may be displayed.

Referring to the GUI shown in (f) of fig. 4, which is another interface of the mail application, the cell phone may display a window 407, where the window 407 includes a functional introduction to automatically add a VIP contact. As shown in fig. 4 (f), the window 407 includes a text reminder, for example, "after the function is turned on, a contact with high frequency of talking with you can be automatically added to the VIP mail contact".

Referring to the GUI shown in (g) of fig. 4, the GUI is an interface of a phone application, and as can be seen from the phone application interface, the contacts that the user has recently frequently called include Frank and Joe.

Fig. 7 shows another set of GUIs for a handset.

When the cell phone detects that the user starts the operation of automatically adding a VIP mail contact, a GUI as shown in (a) of fig. 7 is displayed.

Referring to the GUI shown in (a) of fig. 7, which is another interface of the mail application, the cell phone may display a window 701, which includes a functional introduction to automatically add a VIP contact in the window 701. As shown in fig. 7 (a), the window 701 includes a text reminder "after the function is turned on, a contact who can communicate with you often is automatically added to the VIP mail contact".

Referring to the GUI shown in (b) of fig. 7, the GUI is an interface of an inbox of a mail application. As can be seen from the GUI, the mails Dendi and Emily are mail contacts with high frequency of communicating mails with the user.

Referring to the GUI shown in FIG. 7 (c), the GU is another interface for VIP mail contacts in a mail application. The method comprises the steps that in addition to Apple, Bob and Charles which are in the past, Dendi and Emily are automatically added to VIP mail contacts of a mail application, wherein the Dendi and the Emily are contacts which are in the mail application and have high mail communication frequency with a user.

In one embodiment, the email contact with high frequency of communicating emails with the user may be a mailbox address of a contact with frequency of communicating emails with the user greater than or equal to a preset frequency within a preset time period.

In an embodiment, before or after determining the mailbox address of the contact with the frequency of the email intercommunicating with the user being greater than or equal to the preset frequency, the mobile phone may filter and screen the emails within the preset time period or the emails of the email contact with the determined high intercommunicating email frequency, and determine which emails are spam and which emails are non-spam. The conditions for the mobile phone to determine whether the email is spam include, but are not limited to:

(1) determining whether the mail is spam through keywords in the mail

For example, the mobile phone may collect some characteristic words in the spam email (such as discount, free, promotion, etc.) according to the keyword recognition to form a large database, and when a piece of email is sent out, the characteristics of the email header, the email title, the email content and the keywords in the database are automatically matched, and if there are similar words, the piece of email is determined to be spam.

(2) Judging whether the mail is junk mail or not according to rules set by a user

For example, the user has set 00: 00 to 07: the mail received in 00 is spam.

For another example, the user sets a mail having a mail size larger than 10Mb as spam.

(3) Determining whether the mail is spam through URL link contained in the mail

For example, if a piece of mail includes a URL link, the mobile phone may determine from the website pointed by the URL link, and if the website is an advertiser website or a website that other users do not wish to open, may determine that the piece of mail is a coming mail and a mail.

And the mobile phone filters and screens the mails received within the preset time so as to determine which mails are junk mails. The handset may only determine the address of the sender identified as non-spam to determine if it is a VIP mail contact. It should be understood that if Dendi and Emily are saved between the mail applications, i.e., the name and mailbox address of Dendi and the name and mailbox address of Emily are saved, the names of Dendi and Emily may be displayed in the VIP mail contact. If only the mailbox addresses of the Dendi and Emily are stored in the mail application, the corresponding mailbox addresses of the Dendi and Emily can be displayed in the VIP mail contact.

According to the method for adding the mail contact persons, the mobile phone can automatically add the mail contact persons with high mail communication frequency with the user in the mail application to the VIP mail contact persons of the mail application, so that the user is prevented from manually adding the mail contact persons, the operation complexity of the user is reduced, the operation efficiency of the user is improved, the intelligent degree of electronic equipment is improved, and the user experience is improved.

In one embodiment, the cell phone may prompt the user to select the type of contact that needs to be automatically added to the VIP mail contact.

Fig. 8 shows another set of GUIs for a handset.

Referring to the GUI shown in (a) of fig. 8, the GUI is another setting interface of the mail application, and includes an account setting, a mail text size setting, a setting of whether to always give itself a secret, and a setting of whether to automatically add a VIP contact. When the cell phone detects an operation of the user clicking a control for automatically adding a VIP mail contact, a GUI as shown in (b) of fig. 8 may be displayed.

Referring to the GUI shown in fig. 8 (b), which is another interface of the mail application, the cell phone may display a window 801 that includes a selection to automatically add a VIP mail contact in the window 801. As shown in (b) in fig. 8, in the window 801, the mobile phone may prompt the user to select a type of a contact that needs to be automatically added, where the type of the contact that needs to be automatically added includes "a contact with a high frequency of talking with you", "a contact that is favorite in a contact application", "a contact with a high frequency of communicating with you with a short message", and "a contact with a high frequency of communicating with you with an email". When the mobile phone detects that the user selects the control 802 corresponding to the contact with high call frequency and detects that the user clicks the control 803, the contact with high call frequency with the user can be automatically added to the VIP mail contact. For example, the cell phone may automatically add users to the VIP mail contact who have communicated with the user more frequently than a first frequency threshold for a first time period.

For example, the cell phone may automatically add users who have been talking to the user more than or equal to 20 times a week to the VIP mail contact.

Frank and Joe are automatically added to VIP mail contacts of the mail application except for Apple, Bob and Charles which are in the contact application, wherein the Frank and the Joe are users with high conversation frequency with the users in the contact application.

In one embodiment, in the window 801, the mobile phone may prompt the user to select a type of a contact to be automatically added, where the type of the contact to be automatically added includes "a contact with a mailbox address and having a high frequency of talking with you", "a contact with a mailbox address and you in a contact application", "a contact with a mailbox address and having a high frequency of communicating with you", and "a contact having a high frequency of communicating with you with a mail".

For example, the cell phone may automatically add a user having a mailbox address that is greater than or equal to 20 conversations with the user to a VIP email contact within one week.

According to the method for adding the mail contact persons, the mobile phone enables the user to select the type of the contact persons to be automatically added, manual adding of the user is avoided, the method is helpful for reducing operation complexity of the user, improving operation efficiency of the user, improving intelligent degree of electronic equipment and improving user experience.

In the above, with reference to fig. 4 to fig. 8, several sets of GUIs provided in the embodiment of the present application are described, and a method for adding a mail contact provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below.

Fig. 9 shows a schematic flow chart of a method 900 for adding a contact according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 9, the method 900 includes:

s910, the electronic device acquires one or more contacts in the first application and contact information associated with the one or more contacts.

For example, after a mobile phone detects that a user clicks a control for automatically adding a VIP mail contact, a content resolver of a mail application may call a query interface to send first query request information to a query interface corresponding to a content provider of a phone or a contact application, where the first query request information is used to request for querying information of a call record with one or more contacts in the phone or the contact application in a first time period; or the first query request information is used for requesting to query whether one or more contacts in the contact application are the contact information collected by the user.

After receiving the URI, the telephone or the content provider of the contact application analyzes the URI, then inquires the information of the call record in the contact application database, carries the inquired information in the first inquiry request response information, and sends the inquired information to the query interface of the content resolver of the mail application through the query interface. And the content resolver of the mail application returns the received data to the mail application of the application program layer. The mail application can determine the contact person with the conversation frequency greater than or equal to the first frequency threshold value in the first time period from the one or more contact persons according to the returned data; alternatively, the contacts of the user's favorite in the contacts application are determined from the one or more contacts.

Illustratively, the first query request message includes a URI, and the URI is used for indicating to query the call record message or indicating to query the contact information collected by the user.

For example, if the URI is used to indicate to query the call record information, the content provider of the contact application may send all the call records of the queried user to the content resolver of the mail application; alternatively, the content provider of the contacts application may send the user's call record to the content resolver of the mail application for a period of time (e.g., a month or a week).

After receiving the call record information, the mail application may determine a contact from the one or more contacts that has a call frequency greater than or equal to a first frequency threshold for a first time period. For example, the mail application may determine contacts for which the user has had a call log number of 20 or more times a week; for example, the mail application may determine contacts for which the user has a number of calls greater than or equal to 200 times a month.

For example, if the URI indicates to query the contact information of the user collection, the content provider of the contact application may send the queried contact information of the user collection to the content resolver of the mail application.

The contact application, upon receiving the call record information, may determine contact information of the user collection from the one or more contacts.

For example, after the mobile phone detects that the user clicks the control for automatically adding the VIP mail contact, the content resolver of the mail application may call the query interface to send second query request information to the query interface corresponding to the content provider of the short message application, where the second query request information is used to request a query to communicate information of the short message with one or more contacts in the short message application in a second time period.

After receiving the URI, the content provider of the short message application analyzes the URI, then inquires the information of the intercommunicated short message in the short message application database, carries the inquired information in the second inquiry request response information, and sends the inquired information to the query interface of the content resolver of the mail application through the query interface. And the content resolver of the mail application returns the received data to the mail application of the application program layer. The mail application may determine, according to the returned data, a contact from the one or more contacts that has communicated the short message with the user within the second time period with a frequency greater than or equal to a second frequency threshold.

It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, the telephone or contact application may communicate data with the short message application, and the mail application queries data stored in the short message application, which may also be understood as the mail application querying data stored in the telephone or contact application.

For example, the mail application may perform query through the mail application database, and determine a mail contact whose number of times of sending mails to and from the user in the third time period is greater than or equal to a preset value. It should be understood that the number of times the user sends and receives the email sent by the email contact may be the number of times the user receives the email sent by the email contact and/or the number of times the user sends the email to the email contact.

S920, the electronic device determines the at least one contact from the one or more contact applications according to the contact information, and determines that the mailbox address of each contact in the at least one contact is stored in the first application.

Illustratively, the first application is a phone or a contact application, the contact information is call data of the one or more contacts stored in the phone or the contact application, and each contact in the at least one contact is a contact with which a frequency of calls made by a user is greater than or equal to a first frequency threshold in a first time period; or, in the first time period, the user communicates with the contact whose number of times is greater than or equal to the preset number of times (including the number of times of calling the first contact, and/or the number of times of receiving the call from the first contact).

Illustratively, the first application is a telephone or a contact application, the contact information is short message data of the one or more contacts stored in the telephone or the contact application, and each contact in the at least one contact is a contact with which the frequency of the short message interworking by the user is greater than or equal to a second frequency threshold in a second time period; or, in the second time period, the number of times of the short message intercommunication between the user and the contact is greater than the preset number of times of the short message intercommunication (including the number of times of sending the short message to the first contact and/or the number of times of receiving the short message sent by the first contact).

Illustratively, the first application is a contacts application, the contact information is whether the one or more contacts stored in the contacts application are favorite contacts, and each of the at least one contact is a favorite contact of the user.

For example, after determining the at least one contact, the mail application may continue to send a third query request message to the content provider of the contact application through the content resolver of the mail application, where the third query request message is used to query whether the at least one contact has a mailbox address. After receiving the third query request information through the query interface, the content provider of the contact application may query the mailbox address of the at least one contact application database, and carry the queried result in the third query request response information and send the third query request response information to the content resolver of the mail application.

After the mail application receives the information of the mailbox address of the at least one contact, if each contact in the at least one contact has a corresponding mailbox address, the electronic device may add the mailbox address of each contact in the at least one contact to the first set of mail contacts.

In an embodiment, the URI of the call record of the query phone or the contact in the contact application and the URI of the mailbox address of the query contact may be carried in the first query request message sent by the content resolver of the mail application to the content provider of the contact application. After receiving the first query request message, the content provider of the contact application may carry the queried result in the first query request response message and send the first query request response message to the content resolver of the mail application.

After receiving the query result, the mail application may determine information of at least one contact with a call frequency greater than or equal to a first frequency threshold in a first time period, and then determine a contact with a mailbox address in the at least one contact.

Alternatively, the mail application may also determine the contacts with the mailbox addresses in all the contacts, and then determine the contact with the call frequency greater than or equal to the first frequency threshold in the first time period from the contacts with the mailbox addresses.

S930, the electronic device adds the mailbox address of each contact in the at least one contact to a first mail contact set in the mail application.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device adds the mailbox address of the at least one contact to the first set of mail contacts in the mail application, and it may also be understood that the electronic device adds the mailbox address of the at least one contact to the first set of mailbox addresses in the mail application.

It should also be understood that, in this embodiment of the present application, the first set of mailbox addresses may be a set of mailbox addresses of VIP mail contacts in the mail application, and may also be a set of mailbox addresses of all contacts in the mail application, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In one embodiment, some of the at least one contact includes a plurality of mailbox addresses, the electronic device may prompt the user to select a mailbox address from the plurality of mailbox addresses to join the first set of mailbox addresses; or, the electronic device may save the first mailbox address by default to be added to the first mailbox address set; alternatively, the electronic device may add the mailbox address newly saved by the user to the first mailbox address set.

In one embodiment, the electronic device may first determine whether the mailbox address for each of the at least one contact is already included in the first set of mailbox addresses. When none of the mailbox addresses of the at least one contact are in the first set of mailbox addresses, the electronic device may automatically add the mailbox addresses of the at least one contact to the first set of mailbox addresses; when the mailbox addresses of at least part of the at least one contact are already in the first set of mailbox addresses, the electronic device may determine not to add the mailbox addresses of the at least part of the contact to the first set of mailbox addresses, thereby avoiding repeatedly adding the same mailbox addresses.

Illustratively, the first set of mail contacts are VIP mail contacts of a mail application.

According to the method for adding the mail contact persons, the mobile phone can automatically add the mailbox addresses of some more important contact persons into the VIP mail contact persons of the mail application, wherein the adding mode includes but is not limited to automatically adding the mailbox addresses of the contact persons with high conversation frequency with the user into the VIP mail contact persons, automatically adding the mailbox addresses of the contact persons collected by the user into the VIP mail contact persons, automatically adding the mailbox addresses of the contact persons with high communication frequency with the user and high communication frequency with the short messages into the VIP mail contact persons, and automatically adding the mailbox addresses of the contact persons with high communication frequency with the user and high communication frequency with the user into the VIP mail contact persons, so that the manual adding of the user is avoided, the operation complexity of the user is reduced, the operation efficiency of the user is improved, the intelligent degree of electronic equipment is improved, and the user experience is improved.

It should be understood that the manner of automatically adding the contact in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the above several manners, and other manners are also possible. For example, the email application may communicate data with a social application, where a database of the social application stores friends of the user and mailbox address information corresponding to each friend, and the electronic device may determine whether to add the mailbox address of each friend to a VIP email contact list of the email application according to the frequency of interaction with each friend. If the social application adopts a white list mechanism, the electronic device does not need to perform filtering and screening operations when the VIP mail contact is automatically added, because friends of the user in the social application are all friends authenticated by the user. The frequency of interactions with each buddy may include the frequency of messages with each buddy (e.g., the number of times a week messages with the buddy), the frequency of calls with each buddy (e.g., the number of voice or video calls with the buddy within a week), and so on.

Illustratively, the social application is Facebook, Twitter, QQ, WeChat, MSN, and the like.
