One or more name of contact person is preserved first；
The entry for including its each initial is set up for name of contact person, arrangement of the order of wherein each initial with each initial in corresponding relationship people's name is identical, table two is name of contact person and the corresponding table of the entry comprising its each initial, here the entry comprising each initial of name of contact person is the entry for including each initial digital code of name of contact person, wherein the corresponded manner of initial and digital code can use the corresponded manner of conventional telephone, as the correspondence of digital code 2 is alphabetical " a ", " b ", " c ", digital code " 3 " correspondence is alphabetical " d ", " e, , , " f " etc..
Table two
For example：Search " Li Yiwu ", determine that user is inputted after " 5 " in the search box at touch screen operation interface, the initial that first character is searched in all entries is the entry of " 5 ", in contacts list, only show in all entries the entry that first initial is " 5 ", here the entry in this contacts list can be referred to as first entry set, first entry collection is combined into here：" 54 ", " 55 ", " 593 ", " 598 ", " 57 ", " 599 ", " 52 ", and by second initial prompt of all entries in first entry set to user, i.e., " 2 ", " 4 ", " 5 ", " 9 ", " 7 " optional alphabet key are only shown in input disc;Then it is " 9 " to determine user's input, the entry that second initial is " 9 " is searched from first entry set, referred to as second entry set, here second entry collection be combined into " 593 ", " 598 ", " 599 ", both more than one bar in now second entry set
Mesh, and all initials in entry do not require identical with " 59 " that user inputs yet, then only display " 3 ", " 8 ", 9 in input disc " optional alphabet key; the 3rd initial for continuing to determine user's input is " 9 "; the entry that the 3rd initial is " 9 " is then searched in second entry set; as third entry; third entry collection is combined into " 599 " here; both only one of which entry in now second entry set, and all initials in entry are also identical with " 599 " that user inputs, that is, navigate to the information required to look up.
Following contact positioning method can also be used, equally exemplified by searching " Li Yiwu ", process is as follows:Determine that user is inputted after " 5 " in the search box at touch screen operation interface, the initial that first character is searched in all entries is the entry of " 5 ", in contacts list, only show in all entries the entry that first initial is " 5 ", here the entry in this contacts list can be referred to as first entry set, first entry collection is combined into here：" 54 ", " 55 ", " 593 ", " 598 ", " 57 ", " 599 ", " 52 ", and by second initial prompt of all entries in first entry set to user, i.e., " 2 ", " 4 ", " 5 ", " 9 ", " 7 " optional alphabet key are only shown in input disc；Then it is " 9 " to determine user's input, search institute again in entry the first two initial for " 59 " record, in contacts list, only show the entry that the first two initial in all entries is " 5Y ", referred to as second entry, here second entry collection is combined into " 593 ", " 598 ", " 599 ", both more than one entry in now second entry set, and all initials in entry do not require identical with " 59 " that user inputs yet, then only display " 3 " in input disc, " 8 ", 9 " optional alphabet key, the 3rd initial for continuing to determine user's input is " 9 ", the entry that first three initial is " 599 " is searched in all entries, as third entry, here third entry collection is combined into " 599 ", both only one of which entry in now third entry set, and all initials in entry are also identical with " 599 " that user inputs, navigate to the information required to look up.
When the contact person required to look up does not know full name, it can be searched by inputting asterisk wildcard.For example：User wishes to search " Li Yiwu ", but only knows " 100,000,005 ", and the surname of uncertain contact person, then the matching symbols for the fuzzy wildcard for representing single character can be inputted in search box "", now button all in dummy keyboard is illustrated as " available " state or will only be stored in the alphabetic code or the corresponding key symbols of digital code of the second letter of all initials of contact database being shown as " available " state；Secondly, the alphabetic code of the known second letter of input or digital code " Y " or " 9 ", second the alphabetical alphabetic code or digital code that mobile terminal filters out name of contact person are the record of " Y " or " 9 ", in contacts list,
Only show that the contact data that correspondence position has " Y " or " 9 " in contact library is recorded, in dummy keyboard, show in contact library with " Υ " or " 9 " to be the alphabetical related record of second prefix, such as the contacts list in embodiment one, now " T ", " W " button are shown " available " in dummy keyboard, or as in the contacts list in embodiment one, now " 8 ", " 3 " or " 9 " button is shown " available " in dummy keyboard；Finally, navigated to " Li Yiwu " after input " W " or " 9 ".Exception can also set the unrestricted string matching symbol of the quantity for representing matching, and as assumed, now user wishes to search " Li Yiwu ", but user now only determines contact person's surname " strict ", name to contact person is but less affirmed, then now user in addition to first inputting after " L " and waiting terminal and show next matching letter, it can also directly input " L* ", at this moment screen can be directly targeted to that " strict three " and " Li Yiwu " place, user selecting as needed.
In embodiment above, we are name of contact person initial alphabetic code or digital code just for entry, in actual applications, many users can set each bit identifier before name of contact person as needed, in this case, the mode of positioning is similar to embodiment one and two, simply in corresponding table now, and other identifiers are also included in addition to alphabetic code or digital code.
Corresponding table below based on name of contact person and name of contact person initial is name of contact person and the alphabetic code corresponding table of name of contact person initial, illustrates this special circumstances.Assuming that now user adds identifier " W " " Li Yitian " is preceding, " strict three " are preceding to add identifier " 1 ", adds identifier " # " " space dragon " is preceding, then contact person's corresponding table now is as follows：
Name of contact person alphabetic code
