【具体实施方式】【detailed description】

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

The present invention provides a method for a mobile terminal to process contact information, which can quickly exchange contact information between mobile terminals, automatically store contact information into a phone book, and clearly identify new contact information in the phone book.

The invention mainly uses near field communication NFC (Near Field) Communication technology realizes the sending and receiving of electronic business cards between mobile terminals, and can automatically exist the phone book after receiving, and clearly prompts the user to newly added contacts in the phone book, which is convenient for user identification.

As a fast and convenient way to exchange data, near field communication has been applied to mobile communication devices. It has the advantage of fast and convenient information exchange. It can be placed close to the distance between two devices (generally less than 10cm). Establish a connection (generally less than 1s) and complete the transfer of data. Electronic business cards currently have a uniform format standard, and different devices can encode and decode them according to the standard. The present invention utilizes these features to complete the transmission and reception of electronic business cards. Specifically, when two users want to exchange contact information, they only need to close each other's mobile terminals, and can obtain the electronic business card of the other party through NFC, and simultaneously convert the electronic business card into contact information, and automatically save to the phone book. in.

The technical solution of the present invention will be described below.

1 is a schematic structural diagram of a function module in a mobile terminal of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the mobile terminal as a sender includes a near field communication (NFC) module, a phone book module, and a conversion module. The mobile terminal as the receiver includes a near field communication (NFC) module, a phone book module, a parsing module, and a prompt module.

Phone book module: mainly used for management of contact information. On the sender side, the phone book module obtains the contact information of the sender, and sends the contact information of the sender to the conversion module. After receiving the electronic business card of the other party, the receiver resolves the electronic card into contact information through the parsing module. After that, it is automatically saved to the phone book.

Near field communication module: mainly used for exchange of electronic business cards between different mobile terminals. The sender encodes and converts the electronic business card of the sender and sends it to the other party through the near field communication module. The receiver receives the electronic business card information through the near field communication module, decodes it, and sends it to the analysis module.

Conversion module: mainly used to convert contact information into standard VCARD format. VCARD is a standard for electronic business card format. Therefore, before sending contact information, you need to convert the contact information into VCARD format. After the sender's phone book module obtains the contact information, it sends it to the conversion module, and the conversion module converts the contact information into the VCARD format according to the standard.

Parsing module: mainly used to convert the VCARD format into contact information for storage in the phone book. Therefore, after receiving the VCARD file, the file is parsed into contact information, so that it can be saved, edited, and the like. After receiving the contact information and parsing the VCARD file, the near field communication module sends the file to the parsing module, and the parsing module parses the VCARD file into contact information, and sends the parsed contact information to the phone book module.

Prompt module: mainly used to prompt the user for newly added contacts. After the new contact is added, in order to let the user intuitively know that a contact belongs to the new addition, the module can prompt the user by: in the phone book contact list, the newly added contact is identified by a specific icon, when the user After viewing the contact's details, the icon can be automatically eliminated. It should be noted that the icon identification is only an example, and may be other methods such as high brightness display.

2 is a schematic diagram of hardware connections of the present invention.

From the perspective of hardware and electronic components, in the solution of the present invention, both the sender and the receiver are the NFC chip and the antenna ANT mainly including the baseband chip BB, the baseband chip.

The NFC chip is connected to the baseband chip through the I2C interface, and the baseband chip communicates with the NFC chip through the I2C interface, including acquiring data on the NFC chip and initializing data on the NFC chip; meanwhile, the baseband chip has a pin (INT) and NFC. The chip is connected, and the pin interrupts the detection pin, mainly when the NFC chip needs to interact with the baseband chip, and the baseband chip is notified through the interruption; the power management module PMU in the baseband chip is responsible for supplying power to the NFC chip; the NFC chip is connected to the antenna ANT, Receive and transmit data through the antenna.

In the following scheme, the process in which the sender and the receiver exchange contact information with each other is introduced:

The NFC communication mode mainly includes an active mode and a passive mode. In the present invention, the active mode is mainly used, that is, the sender and the receiver respectively transmit a frequency field to activate communication, and the sender transmits data to the receiver at a selected transmission rate, and receives the data. The party responds at the same rate.

When a user wants to exchange contact information, an NFC call can be initiated by either party, and the way to initiate is through the UI (User Interface, user interface) specific "exchange contact option", or by triggering a specific button, that is, after the user triggers the exchange contact process, the NFC chip is notified to initialize. At this time, the receiver device is placed within a distance close to the sender, and the sender and the receiver start to establish communication: that is, when the distance between the two mobile terminals with NFC is less than a certain value (generally less than 10 cm) The sender transmits the frequency field and transmits the data to the receiver according to the selected transmission speed (such as 424 kbps). The receiver also transmits the frequency field and responds at the same transmission rate to establish a peer-to-peer point-to-point data connection. In this way, the exchange of contact information between mobile terminals can be realized.

The invention requires the electronic business card to be sent between the two mobile terminals, that is, the mobile terminal of the first user sends the VCARD file information to the mobile terminal of the second user through the NFC, and the mobile terminal of the second user parses the mobile terminal after receiving the Information, and convert the parsed VCARD file into contact information and save it to the phone book. Then, the mobile terminal of the second user sends the VCARD file information to the mobile terminal of the first user by using the NFC. After receiving, the mobile terminal of the first user parses the information and converts the parsed VCARD file into contact information. Save to the phone book.

It should be noted that since NFC can transmit any type of data file, VCARD can be transmitted by NFC as an electronic business card file standard. In order to enable the receiver to know that the VCARD file is currently received, the VCARD file is sent. The method is as follows: the sender sends in the standard VCARD format, with the .vcf suffix, and sends the standard file to the receiver through NFC. When receiving the file, the receiver first determines the type of the received file, that is, whether the suffix name of the file is .vcf, and if so, the received file is a VCARD file.

Figure 3 is a flow chart of the processing method of the present invention.

As shown, the steps are as follows:

Step 31: Acquire a contact information file received by the near field communication method;

The step is specifically: after the data connection between the receiver mobile terminal and the sender mobile terminal establishes near field communication by using a call, the contact information file extracted and processed by the sender mobile terminal from its file system or the client identification module is obtained.

Step 32: After determining that the contact information file meets the requirements according to the electronic business card format standard, reading the content in the contact information file, and parsing the content;

In this step, it is determined whether the contact information file is a file with a .vcf suffix, and if so, the VCARD file is inferred to be an electronic business card format;

Step 33: Store the contact information after the parsing process to a phone book of the mobile terminal;

In this step, the content in the contact information file is read, and each type and value in the string of the VCARD file is converted into an item in the contact information structure;

Step 34: Identify the stored contact information in the phone book as being different from the original contact information in the phone book.

In this step, in the contact list of the phone book, the list member structure is added with an identifier bit, and the value of the identifier bit indicates that the new addition or the original is used; the value of the identifier bit indicates that when newly added, An icon is displayed in the contact list that disappears after the user reads the contact information.

In combination with the above-mentioned contents, the following describes different processing procedures.

Figure 4 is a flow chart showing the processing of the sender in the present invention.

As shown, the steps are as follows:

Step 401: The phone book module reads the current contact information into the file system or the SIM card;

When the sender is in standby, it can initiate the process of sending. The method can be initiated by using a specific “exchange contact option” in the UI, or by triggering a VCARD exchange by pressing a specific button, that is, the user triggers the exchange. After the VCARD process, the phone book module is notified to read the sender's contact information.

The contact information of the local user is generally stored in the file system of the mobile terminal or SIM (Subscriber Identity) Module, customer identification module) in a specific location in the card. The present invention preferably uses the "home number" in the SIM card as the storage location of the contact information. In the SIM card, there is a "local number", which is mainly used to store the contact information of the current user, and the user stores his contact information in the item. Of course, it is also possible to store the contact information of the local user to a specific location in the file system of the mobile terminal.

After receiving the notification sent by the phone book module, the contact information is read into the file system or SIM card of the mobile terminal, and the contact information is saved into a structure. Next, the phone book module sends the contact structure to the conversion module.

When the contact information exchange is to be performed, the phone book module reads the contact information of the sender user from the file system or the SIM card, and saves it to a structure, for example, the phone book module obtains the user contact information, and then saves The structure of the information is sent to the conversion module.

Step 402: The conversion module converts the contact information into a VCARD file.

The conversion module converts each piece of information in the contact information structure into a VCARD format, and finally adds the standard head and tail identifiers of the VCARD, thereby obtaining a string in the standard VCARD format. Next, create a new file with the .vcf extension and save the string contents of the VCARD format to the file. At this point, the sender's contact information is converted to a VCARD file.

Specifically, the conversion module converts the structure of the contact information into a string of the VCARD format as follows:

11) Automatically generate VCARD data headers such as: BEGIN: VCARD, and generate version number, such as: VERSION: 2.1;

12) According to the VCARD standard format, according to the types in the VCARD, read the corresponding items in the contact information structure in turn, and convert each information into a string of the data format line in the VCARD (type identifier: value) .

For example, the company information item in the structure is converted into the corresponding string in the VCARD: ORG: TCL communication Technology Holdings Ltd.

If there are some items in the VCARD standard that are not included in the contact structure, the corresponding value in the VCARD string is blanked.

13) When all types of items in the VCARD standard have been converted, they end with END:VCARD.

At this point, the conversion of the string content in the VCARD format is completed. Then, a file with a .vcf suffix is created in the file system of the mobile terminal, and the content of the converted VCARD string is saved in the file. In this way, the contact information is converted into a standard VCARD file.

Step 403, notifying the near field communication module to send the file, and transmitting the file path information to the near field communication module;

The conversion module notifies the near field communication module to start the sending process of the file, and transmits the path information of the VCARD file to the near field communication module.

Step 404: The near field communication module initializes the NFC chip, initiates a call, and establishes a data connection.

After receiving the VCARD file path, the near field communication module performs NFC initialization, that is, initializes the NFC chip, transmits the frequency field, and establishes a data link with the receiver.

Step 405: Encode VCARD data into an NFC transmission data format.

After completing the establishment of the data link, the near field communication module encodes the VCARD file and encodes it into the data format of the NFC transmission.

Step 406: Send the data to the receiver by using the NFC method.

This step sends the data to the receiver via NFC.

When the transmission ends, the sender stops the data transmission and waits for the receiver to initiate the NFC data transmission.

Figure 5 is a flow chart showing the processing of the receiver in the present invention.

As shown, the steps are as follows:

Step 501: The near field communication module establishes an NFC data connection.

After the receiver and the sender are less than a certain distance, the NFC call of the sender is received, and the frequency field is also transmitted, and the data is transmitted at the same transmission rate to establish a data link.

Step 502: Receive data through a wireless link, and decode the data.

After the data link is established, data reception is started, and the near field communication module decodes the data after receiving the data.

Step 503: Obtain a VCARD file whose .vcf is a suffix name, and save the file to the file system.

The near field communication module obtains the VCARD file with the .vcf suffix name sent by the other party through decoding, and saves the file to the file system of the mobile terminal.

Step 504: Determine whether the suffix name is a VCARD file of .vcf, and if yes, proceed to step 505, and if not, end;

The near field communication module determines the type of the file, that is, whether the suffix name of the file is .vcf: specifically, by reading the file name of the file, determining whether the last four strings of the name string are .vcf: if not, ending; if Yes, the description is a VCARD file, and the process proceeds to step 505.

Step 505: The parsing module parses the VCARD file.

The parsing module opens the file and reads the contents of the file to parse the VCARD file.

Step 506, determining whether it is a valid VCARD file, and if yes, proceeding to step 507, and if not, ending;

The parsing module reads the content in the VCARD file and saves the content to a string; first determines whether the content is a valid VCARD format, that is, whether the beginning and the end of the string are first conformed to the VCARD specification (because the VCARD content Start with BEGIN:VCARD, end with END:VCARD, and VERSION: after BEGIN:VCARD.

Step 507: Read the content in the VCARD file, and extract and process each item of the contact information according to the VCARD standard;

The VCARD is valid, and the parsing module converts each type and value in the VCARD file into one of the contact information structures.

Remove the beginning and end identifiers, obtain the data format lines (ie: type and value); read each type, assign the value after the type to the corresponding item in the contact structure according to the correspondence, such as After reading the type: EMAIL, the value after EMAIL is assigned to the mail item in the contact information structure. All types and values in the VCARD file are parsed in turn, and their values are assigned to individual items in the contact structure.

Step 508: The parsing module saves the obtained contact information to a structure, and sends the structure to the phone book module.

After all the types and values in the VCARD are converted, the parsing module saves the obtained contact information to a structure, and the VCARD file is converted into a contact information structure, and the contact information structure is transmitted to the phone book module.

Step 509: The phone book module saves the contact information to the phone book.

The phone book module initiates a contact save process and saves the contact information to the phone book.

After stopping the reception of the NFC data, the process of sending the user's VCARD is started. That is, when the receiving is completed, the receiving party stops the NFC receiving work and enters the contact information sending process; likewise, the sender stops the NFC sending work after completing the contact information transmission, and enters the state of waiting for receiving. That is, the sender and the receiver exchange roles, and the process of sending and receiving the electronic business card is performed according to the process described above, and will not be described here.

When the transmission and reception of the VCARD are completed again, the contact information of the other party is saved in the phone book of the sender and the receiver.

After receiving the electronic business card by the receiving party, the solution of the present invention further includes processing the contact information, and the process is also an important part of the present invention, and specifically includes the steps:

Step 601: The phone book module stores the parsed contact information in the phone book;

Step 602: The prompting module identifies the newly added contact information in the phone book to prompt the user.

In the traditional way, after the contact is newly added in the phone book, the user has no way to know which contact information is specifically added. To overcome the problem, the party further adds a new contact prompt after receiving the contact information.

After the new contact information is added in the phone book, the prompting module of the present invention identifies the column of the newly added contact with a special icon in the phone book contact list, indicating that the contact is newly added. of. The phone book contact list generally lists all the contacts in the phone book by user name, and the user can browse, search, and view the contact information through the list. After the icon is identified, when the user enters the column of the contact and the contact information is viewed, the icon disappears, indicating that the user has viewed the contact information, and is not the newly added contact.

It should be noted that the icon here can be any icon that can represent the newly added, such as a five-pointed star, a cloud icon, etc., of course, it can also be represented by an icon, for example, the contact column can be highlighted, using a color identifier, plus The background is distinguished.

If you add multiple contact information, after seeing the contact information, the icon disappears only for the contact that the user viewed, and the icons of other newly added contacts will not disappear. Therefore, assuming that 4 contacts are added at the same time, the 4 contact columns all have a newly added icon, and the user views one of the contacts, and the contact icon disappears, but other contact icons that are not viewed continue to remain.

As for the contacts added at the same time, different identifiers can also be used to indicate the order of addition. For example, using the icon containing the serial number, the time for adding the contact is recorded, and according to the time of adding the contact, the first added contact uses the one containing 1 The icon, the second uses an icon containing 2, followed by an example, so that the user can clearly know the order in which the contacts are added. After viewing one of the contacts, the icon will automatically re-update the order according to the added time. For example, after viewing the third added contact, after viewing, the third contact icon disappears, and the fourth added contact icon is updated. For the third, and so on.

The specific processing of this step is as follows:

There is a queue in the software of the phone book module to store all the contact information in the phone book. Each member of the queue stores a contact information, including a name, a number, and a corresponding storage location. When the phone book list is displayed, Display according to the contact information in the queue.

In order to be able to distinguish whether the added contact is newly added and unread, the present invention adds a flag bit in the list member structure by the prompting module (boolean). Be_new_contact_and_unread), this flag identifies if the contact is new and unread.

After the new contact interface is called in the phone book module to complete the contact joining, the prompting module sets the value of the flag bit to TURE, and enters the contact detailed information interface from the phone book (ie, the user selects to enter the phone book list). When the contact details interface is viewed, the prompting module sets the value of the flag bit to FALSE.

When displaying the phonebook list, the prompting module checks the flag of each member in the message queue (boolean) Be_new_contact_and_unread), if the value of the flag is TRUE, indicating that the contact is newly added and unread, when the contact column is displayed, a specific position (such as the head or the tail of the list) is displayed in the column. Icon; if the value of the flag is FALSE, indicating that the contact is not newly joined and unread, the icon is not displayed when the contact is displayed.

It should be noted that the value of the flag bit here is exemplified by TRUE and FALSE, but is not limited thereto, and may be represented by 1, 0, and the order of representation is not limited.

In this way, the columns of all the phone lists that are newly added and not viewed by the user are specially added icons. In this way, the user can be more clearly aware of the information of the newly added contact, which plays a good role in prompting the user to view the new contact information.

The new contact prompting method used in the present invention is applicable not only to the present invention through NFC exchange contact information, but also to other newly added contacts, such as receiving contact information through SMS, MMS, etc., or through Bluetooth, infrared. Wait for receiving contact information, etc.

It can be seen from the above technical solutions:

In the traditional way, when the contact information is exchanged, the operation is troublesome and the efficiency is not high; the solution provided by the invention uses the NFC technology to realize the fast transmission and exchange of the contact information, on the one hand, the speed of the exchange of information between the users is accelerated; on the other hand, the user is not required. By manually saving, you can automatically save the contact information to the phone book, which improves the user experience. Further, you can also provide new contact information in the phone book, and intuitively display the newly added contact information to the user through the icon. After the user receives the contact information of the other party, it is easy to know which one of the phone book is newly added, so that the identification is more convenient and the user experience is better.

The above is only the embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention, and the equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation of the present invention and the contents of the drawings may be directly or indirectly applied to other related technologies. The fields are all included in the scope of patent protection of the present invention.
