Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to communication field, relate in particular to and utilize business card directly to produce the connection information management method and system of contact details.
Background technology
Average according to statistics nearly four e-mail accounts of each young man, these e-mail accounts may comprise dwelling house e-mail accounts, several general website (such as Yahoo, Hotmail and Gmail) the free email account number that a work email account number, a network provider (such as China Telecom) provide.The foundation of each e-mail accounts has different separately purposes, described work email account number may through be commonly used to work on the colleague communicate by letter, described dwelling house e-mail accounts may be used for communicating by letter with the household with friend, and other e-mail accounts may be used for various informal communications.Each e-mail accounts all has the address list (it also can be known as address book) of controlling oneself need not spell whole address to make things convenient for the user when giving other people send Email.But no matter what e-mail accounts the user has, the address list of each e-mail accounts is all managed independently.If a user is just in time owing to going on business in the other places and can not visiting the work email account number, he can get in touch with the colleague by other e-mail accounts (such as the Yahoo mail) so, yet prerequisite is the e-mail address that he must remember this colleague.
The Outlook of Microsoft and Outlook Express are present most popular e-mail application software, and they can be used for receiving the Email from different e-mail accounts.If managed a plurality of e-mail accounts with an Outlook or Outlook Express, it can provide one of these e-mail accounts to integrate address list so.Yet described Outlook or Outlook Express need move on PC, as user during away from described PC, visit very difficulty of described associating address list.
Same, many people not only have a mancarried device, and described mancarried device comprises mobile phone, PDA(Personal Digital Assistant) etc.On mobile phone, can be the user and create the telephone number of an address list (also can be described as address book) with the record contact person.After phone was called in, the user can upgrade address list according to the caller identification number on the described mobile phone, and the contact name who just imports this caller ID that the user need do.Similarly, also creating on the PDA has address list, is used to write down other people contact details of getting in touch by this device.
So just a problem occurs, individual contact information is disperseed to be stored on several means or the account number.When a user need get in touch certain man-hour by mobile phone, must use at ordinary times the mobile phone of getting in touch, otherwise this user may find this people's telephone number with this people.Equally, if when a user need get in touch with someone by Email is next, must use at ordinary times the e-mail accounts of getting in touch, otherwise this user also may find this people's e-mail address, unless this user remembers or phones this people's inquiry with this people.
Development in science and technology makes people come by different way to get in touch with other people by different device/instrument.Yet, from certain angle,, different device/Tool Room cooperates cooperation because lacking, and science and technology makes our life complicated on the contrary.In addition, mobile phone usually can be lost, the address book in the mobile phone of thereupon losing in addition, and the contact person in the address book just might again cannot relate to like this.Therefore, demand urgently proposing a kind of make we by science and technology complicated the solution that becomes simple of life ask individual contact information so that a people can both inquire about at any time, Anywhere, even certain contact person has upgraded contact details.For further facilitating the communication between each contact person, also need to propose a kind of technical scheme real-time between each contact person, safe and frequent communication that guarantees.
In addition, annual nearly tens name cards in the whole world are spreading according to statistics, but general 95% business card has all dropped in the dustbin at last.In fact, business card provides very important associated person information, but preserving or manage these business cards has but become trouble.
At present, the function of mobile phone is come complete more, even OCR (OpticalCharacter Recognition, optical character identification) function has appearred in some smart mobile phone.This type of mobile phone can be taken pictures to business card by the camera that carries, by self OCR software the business card of picture format is converted into the business card of text formatting afterwards, thereby can extract the various associated person informations in the business card, such as name, position, contact method etc., and then the associated person information that extracts is added directly in the address list of mobile phone, this model machine master does not just need manually typing associated person information in address list.Yet, in the future various OCR mobile phones may appear, though the OCR technology principle that adopts in each mobile phone is similar substantially, but recognition performance (such as recognition correct rate and recognition speed) has very big difference, and the mobile phone not outstanding for those recognition performances often may be subjected to the puzzlement that the OCR identification error maybe can not be discerned.In addition, compared to the OCR identification equipment of specialty owing to be subject to the restriction of hardware in the mobile phone, the recognition speed of the OCR software of mobile phone and recognition correct rate all more or less be subjected to negative effect.Further, be subjected to the influence of other factorses such as ambient light, the business card effect that coming appears in the mobile phone shooting may not be fine, and still carry out the wrong probability of business card identification appearance with the OCR software in the mobile phone this moment will be very high.In a word, use the OCR software in the mobile phone may run into various challenges.
Therefore, demand proposing a kind of business card that utilizes that can overcome above-mentioned all difficulties urgently and directly produce the solution of contact details.

Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the specific embodiment of the present invention is described.
Figure 1A illustrates the system architecture diagram of the present invention in a specific embodiment.Server 20 is used for to the registered user manages list of contact information, and its other service that provides will be described below.Database 30 is used for storing described list of contact information and other related data of described server 20 management.Generally include a series of contact person (also can image be referred to as contact circle) in a registered user's the list of contact information, some or all contact persons wherein are the registered user of server 20 also.A contacts entries in the described list of contact information records this contact person's brief introduction (also can be referred to as profile), described contact person's brief introduction comprises this contact person's name and contact method, and described contact method can be e-mail address, phone number and/or instant messaging ID etc.In the system in the present invention by suitable setting, when a user has upgraded its brief introduction content, but user's automatic reception of classifying this user as contact person by described server 20 is to described more new data, Data Update can the user know the inside story or unwitting situation under carry out.Need to prove that except other had statement, described list of contact information also can be known as address list, address book, contact list or contacts list etc. here; Described contact person can broad sense be interpreted as contact object, it both can be real people, such as household or friend etc., also can be virtual people, such as so-and-so company, so-and-so unit or certain contact device etc.; Described each contact person is presented as record clauses and subclauses (also can be referred to as clauses and subclauses, contact items or contacts entries etc.) in address list.
In a specific embodiment, described database 30 can be the part of described server, also can be to be distributed on the different computers device, can also be the far-end that is arranged at server 20. Terminal installation 10,12 and 14 the expression can with the multiple arrangement of server 20 communications, these terminal installations include but not limited to mobile phone, PDA and the computer of access network.The user can use arbitrary terminal installation and 20 communications of described server, so be implemented in the address list kept for this user on the server 20 synchronously, management and downloading.
Described server 20 can be used to the device communication with registered user's use, with the address list of the local storage of synchronous described device.Shown in Figure 1B, described registered user may use the Outlook of Microsoft 102 (e-mail application software) to receive and the relevant Email of working, use network mailbox 104 (such as, the E-mail address of Yahoo) receives the Email relevant with the individual, use work mobile phone 106 carries out and the relevant telephonic communication of work, use private mobile phone 108 to carry out and household or friend between telephonic communication.By registering an account number 110 to described server 20, described user can make each e-mail or install 102,104,106,108 (can be collectively referred to as device or terminal installation) and keep synchronously with described server 20.
Described account number 110 comprises respectively from the contact details of installing 102,104,106 and 108.For instance, the registered user may use 102,104,106 or 108 and contact persons that are named as " Zhang San " of any one device to get in touch.Like this, 102,104,106 or 108 part contact details of preserving " Zhang San " of each device.Because Zhang San may import some information in its mail is provided with, Outlook 102 may preserve the part profile information of " Zhang San ".Described part profile information may comprise title, CompanyName, CompanyAddress, company's e-mail address, phone and fax number etc.Because described registered user may link up a few thing thing in addition with Zhang San, described network mailbox 104 may be preserved Zhang San's private addresses of items of mail.Same, owing to, therefore on work mobile phone 106, may record Zhang San's Work Telephone often with the thing in work mobile phone 106 and the Zhang San's communication work.In addition, owing to may answer the phone that Zhang San makes from family, therefore on private mobile phone 108, may record Zhang San's home phone number with private mobile phone 108.In other words, each device 102,104,106 or 108 is all preserved Zhang San's part contact details.
Each device 102,104,106 or 108 is used for keeping synchronously with described server, and the local address list that will include the part contact details uploads onto the server 20.Described server 20 is integrated all part contact details and is added in the remote communication record (with respect to the local address list in the device, the address list in the server 20 can be called as the remote communication record) of some user's input informations (such as education background etc.) with this registered user on server 20 and forms the complete documentation clauses and subclauses 112 about respective contacts.Such remote communication record can be downloaded on arbitrary device 102,104,106 or 108 to upgrade or additional local original part contact details.
Fig. 2 A shows integration from flow process or method 200 from the part contact details of different information sources.Described information source includes but not limited to computer (such as notebook computer), mobile phone (such as GPRS or 3G mobile) and personal digital assistant PDA (such as Blackberry or iPhone).Described method 200 can be implemented as the combination of a kind of software or software and hardware.For the ease of understanding described method 200, can be in conjunction with reference Figure 1A and Figure 1B.
Suppose that user " Zhang San " has set up an account number on server (such as the server among Figure 1A 20).This user can utilize any computer expert to cross data network (wired or wireless) and visit described server to create his brief introduction.Described brief introduction can comprise his name, his e-mail address, his instant messaging ID (such as QQ number, MSN number), his telephone number etc.As required, described brief introduction also can comprise product/service that his title, his Business Name and address and his company can provide.Described brief introduction also can comprise his education background (degree, school and specialty) and his interested related data of some or all contact persons.With these account number contacts be a series of contact persons or the record clauses and subclauses, Zhang San has just had the contact circle of the continual renovation of oneself like this.Each contact person has the brief introduction similar to the brief introduction of aforementioned Zhang San's account number.Described contact person's brief introduction may be imperfect when beginning, but can As time goes on be upgraded by Zhang San or corresponding contact person oneself.For instance, if Zhang San has changed mobile phone and has changed new telephone number, he does not need to phone one by one each contact person, he only need replace original telephone number with new phone number in its people's brief introduction, those users that classify him as contact person just can find Zhang San's new phone number in the address list of oneself.Certainly, contact person a certain with it keeps in touch if Zhang San is unwilling, and he can delete this people from its list of contact information.Deleted like this contact person can not obtain Zhang San's new phone number.Advantage, benefit or a purpose of the present invention are that described server 20 can be kept in touch all users forever with the people that they wish to get in touch.
Practical application according to the user, user oneself can upgrade some the brief introduction content among a certain contact person in the address list, must be pointed out, there are many zones (also can be referred to as content bar etc. in a certain contact person or the clauses and subclauses, it is some content in the clauses and subclauses, can be called as a zone or content bar such as surname, name), not every zone can allow other users change or upgrade.E-mail address such as contact person's registration cannot allow others change, but has many zones can allow other users fill up.For instance, for a contact person who manages communication apparatus, though this contact person does not provide this type of information, described user can add this information in this contact person's the brief introduction, to make things convenient for user oneself search or get in touch with this contact person when needing communication apparatus in the future.
Suppose the brief introduction of setting up for a contact person who is named as Li Si.If Li Si also is the registered user of described server, described brief introduction can be upgraded by Li Si oneself.In one embodiment, no matter when Li Si has upgraded the brief introduction that comprises contact method (such as the change of telephone number) of oneself, and the renewal of being initiated by Li Si then is reflected in Zhang San's the address list immediately.Can be upgraded by Li Si about Li Si's content in its address list of being edited by Zhang San, the information that Li Si provides will cover original content.Yet if Li Si does not fill in any content in certain content bar, this area contents of being edited by Zhang San is kept intact so.
Described registered user " Zhang San " has several means and the contact person gets in touch.As mentioned above, recorded electronic addresses of items of mail only in some devices, other is recording phone number only then.See also shown in Fig. 2 A, produce a synchronization request in step 202.Described synchronization request can be produced by described each device automatic or manual, also can be produced by the server automatic or manual.When using a device, described device can be set up communication according to authentication information (such as username and password) and server, and detects further whether renewal is arranged on the described server.Same, if the user has at a time upgraded the local address list on the device,, the user logins to described server when utilizing this device, described user can make server and this device keep synchronously.In any case, but only just carry out described synchronization request in the Internet time spent.Whether accordingly, need to detect described interference networks in step 204 available.
Suppose that the Internet can use, described method 200 changes step 206 over to and removes to obtain local zone time.Described local zone time can obtain according to the data received, and described local zone time is the establishment or the update time of the described data of receiving, what the described data of receiving just were meant address list respectively writes down clauses and subclauses.In the data of relatively receiving with Already in during the data on the server, described local zone time is used for determining which data is up-to-date.
In step 208, the local zone time of the described data of receiving is converted to the standard time (such as the Greenwich Mean Time).Owing on the earth so much time zone is arranged, has only the same time standard of employing to come the new and old just more accurate and effective of specified data.For instance, a businessman plans to travel from Beijing to San Francisco, the Beijing time of leaving before the airport, Beijing is points in the mornings 11 January 1, he with its PDA and server sync once to upgrade a contact person's e-mail address, after he arrived airport, San Francisco, he received the e-mail address of same contact person's a renewal.The local time of supposing San Francisco than Beijing time by back 15 hours, the time that he arrives airport, San Francisco is 8 thirty of morning January 1 Pacific time.When all with the Greenwich Mean Time be with reference to the time, described server can conclude that described secondary more new data in fact is up-to-date.And if the time of not carrying out changes, described server then may draw opposite wrong conclusion.It should be noted that some devices may use the Greenwich Mean Time to store various records, this moment step 206 effect then to become the described local zone time of authentication be the Greenwich Mean Time, step 208 item has not needed.
In step 210, how more described record clauses and subclauses of receiving and existing record clauses and subclauses are upgraded to judge.When the corresponding record clauses and subclauses in record clauses and subclauses of receiving and the described already present contact list were same or similar, described method 200 changed step 212 over to and carries out merging.For instance, a record strip destination name that receives is " Mike Doe ", a record strip destination name in the contact list that exists is " M.Doe ", can carry out the verification step (not shown) to guarantee these two the corresponding same contact persons of record clauses and subclauses.Described verification step can be other information in the checking brief introduction in one example, whether identical such as the e-mail address in the corresponding record clauses and subclauses in the already present contact list with the record strip purpose e-mail address of receiving, can verify that also other data (such as telephone number) verify whether corresponding same contact person of two record clauses and subclauses.If the verification step conclusion is two corresponding same contact persons of record clauses and subclauses, these two record clauses and subclauses merge.Described method 200 changes step 216 over to upgrade whole contact list from step 212.
When in the record clauses and subclauses that receive and the already present contact list any one is all inequality or similar, this means the corresponding new contact person of described record clauses and subclauses.Described method 200 enters step 214 to increase new record clauses and subclauses in contact list.The result of synchronization request is: device and server have all had the latest edition of registered user's address list.No matter when Zhang San needs to search a contact person's contact details, and he can sign in to and finds him to want on the server, and he always can obtain the latest edition of address list.Same, Zhang San also can use each device with server sync, and described device can be downloaded the complete contact list or the more new portion of contact list from server.Zhang San can obtain its contact person's who needs up-to-date contact method from described device.
Nearly 60% cellphone subscriber will change one time phone number every year according to statistics.There are some mobile phone standards not support SIM card in the U.S..After having changed a mobile phone that does not have a SIM card, unless pay give the dealer with ask its will telephone number in the old mobile phone import in the new cell-phone (sometimes also may because interface problem and can not realize), otherwise all telephone numbers in the old mobile phone all can be lost.But the SIM card of many GSM mobile handset support storing phone numbers is also lost yet lose all telephone numbers in back at mobile phone thereupon.Like this, many people just may be owing to lost telephone number have lost and has got in touch with their colleague or friend.In the present invention, the user only need step on account number on the described server by GPRS, 3G or other wireless network on the new cell-phone.After having set up communication, his/her new cell-phone just can be downloaded up-to-date contact list from server.From an angle, the invention solves the problem that contact list is lost or broken down and lose because of mobile phone.
The local address list form that Fig. 2 B shows in the device is different from the situation that the remote communication on the server is recorded form.The record clauses and subclauses of the local address list in the record clauses and subclauses of the local address list in device and another device may have the different content hurdle.For instance, the Outlook of Microsoft has the content bar of manager's name and assistant's name, and the Outlook Express of Microsoft does not then have the foregoing hurdle, but the content bar that has these Outlook such as IP telephone numbers not have.Except from the identical recordings clauses and subclauses of two different devices the content bar difference, the record strip purpose content bar in the server also may be different with the content bar of identical recordings clauses and subclauses in the device.
Among the embodiment shown in Fig. 2 B, multiple arrangement has a plurality of record entry format 220.Correspondence or mapping table 222 are used for setting up bridge between the record entry format of the record entry format 220 of device and server.When carrying out synchronization program, carry out mapping program with on the corresponding contents hurdle that the data map of described record entry format 220 sides is defined in the server.Usually, the record strip purpose content bar of described server comprises such as substance hurdles such as name, surname, e-mail addresses.These substance hurdles 226 are displayable, and the major part in them is editable or renewable.For unwanted those extra content hurdles of server, can store with the hiding content bar 228 in the server from device.These hiding content bar 228 on server be can not see or the user can not edit.
For instance, an Outlook device has two content bar " manager's name " and " assistant's name ", and they are obsolete in the corresponding record clauses and subclauses of server.When described device during for the first time with server sync, all data in the record clauses and subclauses of Outlook all are transferred in the server, wherein have only the data in the described substance hurdle to be loaded or to be updated in the respective record clauses and subclauses of server, data in other content bar are stored in the hiding content bar such as " manager's name " and " assistant's name ".The benefit that all data in one in the described device record clauses and subclauses are all transmitted is to make synchronous realization fairly simple, does not just need to select different pieces of information in different devices like this when carrying out synchronization program.Same, when a record strip purpose renewal in the server need be synchronized to the respective record clauses and subclauses of local device, this contact person's whole record clauses and subclauses (comprising the data of hiding in the content bar) all are transferred into and are used for covering out-of-date record clauses and subclauses on the local device.In a different embodiment, can only transmit new data more to upgrade corresponding record clauses and subclauses.
Fig. 3 A shows an example of the contact list 300 in the address list of a registered user in server.Described contact list 300 has shown three records clauses and subclauses or contact persons, and each record clauses and subclauses or contact person comprise a photo or cartoon picture 302, contact person's brief description 304 and relation classification 308.
Click the name of described photo 302 or brief description 304, will demonstrate this contact person's the brief introduction that comprises all out of Memory, the registered user can edit segment or whole described brief introduction.Please refer again to Fig. 3 A, a contact person " Li Si " is divided into business connection people and classmate contact person, and the classification of such relationship level is used for defining which information of the user's that this contact person can see brief introduction.In one embodiment, the user can be provided with itself and each contact person's relationship level on described server.Described user can allow corresponding contact person see his part or all of profile information, also can not allow corresponding contact person see any other profile information.In one embodiment, some contact persons that are decided to be " secret friend " relationship level can only see name, e-mail address and the telephone number information in the user profile.Other contact persons that are decided to be " common " or " commerce " relationship level may be able to see all information in the user profile.
In one embodiment, described system predefined is provided several relationship level, comprise common, commercial, classmate, household and secret friend.Wherein, ordinary contacts may be able to see the most information of user profile so that development and utilize various chances, and secret friend (such as friends of the opposite sex) contact person can only see that partial information in the user profile is to give registered user's privacy.In another embodiment, described system allows the relationship level name of registered user for him.For instance, user may define one " university " relation, is classified as all details that contact person in " university " relation can see the specific part in this user profile, such as memorable activity in education background and the university etc.For the user, an advantage is that such classification helps the user that the contact person of oneself is managed, and all kinds of contact person will see the different content in oneself the brief introduction.In one embodiment, utilize relationship level can unify to send electronics and invite certain activity of participating in to the contact person in the contact circle.Like this, the user does not need to notify one by one and wants the contact person that invites, sends electronics and invites and only need determine to enclose to other contact person of which relative degree.For instance, Zhang San plans to open a birthday party, and only wishes that the kinsfolk participates in, and what he need do is exactly to send electronics invitation for the All Contacts of " household " group.
Please referring to shown in Figure 4, adding information of contact person can pass through variety of way in the local address list of terminal installation, such as the mode of bar code recognition, two-dimension code identification, speech recognition and manual input.Many mobile phones all dispose shooting capacity, and some business card is to adopt bar code or two-dimension code to write down the essential information of business card, comprise this business card owner's information such as title, post, contact method.Under the situation that is equipped with bar code or two-dimension code identification software on the mobile phone, also discerned the essential information that just can obtain the business card owner with mobile phone pick-up slip font code or image in 2 D code.In addition, some mobile phone has the language identification ability, so also can add new contact person and contact method in address list with the mode of phonetic entry.Certainly, can also adopt the mode of manual button input in the address list of mobile phone, to add or revise contact person and contact method.The contact person of these new interpolations and contact method can both be transferred to server 20, and so no matter which terminal equipment the user uses, and the up-to-date user information profile that the user can both obtain user oneself comprises the contact person and the contact method of new interpolation.
Business card is widely used now, and it provides very important associated person information, so the server among the present invention 20 can also provide and utilize business card directly to produce the associated person information service, and then realizes upgrading user's remote communication record.Fig. 5 shows flow process or the method 500 of utilizing business card directly to produce associated person information.Associated person information is printed in the mode of printing and has just formed business card on the card, described associated person information can comprise name, position, work unit, telephone number, e-mail address etc., for the associated person information electronization on the business card at first carry out step 502, generate business card image according to business card.Producing business card image can realize by various modes, in one embodiment, can use scanner that business card is scanned to form business card image, in another embodiment, can adopt camera installation that business card is taken to form business card image, further, can take, also can take with the Digital Video of specialty with the mobile phone that has camera.
Afterwards, just business card image need be imported in the preamble can with the terminal installation 10,12 and 14 of server 20 communications on, such as can business card image being sent on the PC 14 by USB.Certainly, if terminal installation itself just has scanning or shoot function,, and directly use these terminal installations to produce business card image to have imported again with regard to not needing such as mobile phone that has camera or scan function or PC.Subsequently, the user can utilize terminal installation 10,12 with image business card and 14 and server 20 carry out communication and utilize business card directly to produce the associated person information service with request.
Usually, server 20 only provides the service that utilizes business card directly to produce associated person information for the registered user, therefore whether be registered user verify to flow process if needing the user in step 504, if not the registered user, then flow process jumps to step 506 and carries out user registration, judges whether subsequently to succeed in registration in step 508, if succeed in registration, then flow process jumps to step 510, if registration is unsuccessful, then flow process is returned step 506 and proceeded user's registration.When the checking user is the registered user in step 504, then directly enter step 510, the user utilizes terminal installation 10,12 and 14 that business card image is transferred to server 20.
Have OCR (Optical Character Recognition, optical character identification) unit on the server 20, described OCR may be implemented as the combination of a kind of software, hardware or software and hardware.Because server 20 is the hardware resource limitations as mobile phone not, can be equipped with in the server 20 that recognition speed is fast, recognition correct rate is high and the identification kind more than OCR software or hardware.
After described business card image transfers to server 20, flow process promptly can enter step 512, also can enter step 514, at server described in the step 512 business card image is carried out optical character identification, in step 516, to obtain the text card information, show in server that at business card image described in the step 514 the server end staff is with the manual typing of all or part of information in the business card image, to obtain the text card information in step 516.In a preferred embodiment, after described business card image transfers to server 20, flow process can enter step 512 earlier makes described server carry out optical character identification to business card image, by the server end staff business card image and the text card information that identifies are compared afterwards, if it is entirely true, then jump to step 516,, then enter step 514 to allow the server end staff with the manual correction of the partial information of identification error if wrong.Owing to can adopt the best OCR technology of performance in the server 20, thereby can make the accuracy of business card image optical character identification very high, under the overwhelming majority situation, flow process can directly enter 516 by step 512, and server end staff's workload is little in fact like this.In a further advantageous embodiment, after described business card image transfers to server 20, flow process can enter step 512 earlier makes described server carry out optical character identification to business card image, server judges according to the optical character recognition process that business card image is carried out this time whether identification mistake may occur afterwards, mistake if possible appears, then enter step 514 to allow the server end staff with the manual typing of all or part of information in the business card image, if mistake can not occur, then enter step 516.Certainly, in one embodiment, at server 20 ends also only a conversion from business card image to the business card text message that carry out in step 512 and the step 514.
By the such design of the present invention, just do not need each terminal installation all to possess the OCR function such as user's mobile phone, just can enjoy the OCR service that server provides.Even terminal installation itself has the OCR function, user oneself can carry out the OCR of business card by terminal installation, but owing to be subjected to all restrictions, and to the influence of business card image etc., the success rate of OCR is not high such as OCR technology, illumination.Compare, therefore the OCR service that the server among the present invention provides can reach high recognition correct rate owing to can adopt best OCR technology also can be participated in the OCR process by the special messenger.In addition,, so not only caused the raising of the production cost of each terminal installation, also caused the waste of social resources if each terminal installation itself all is equipped with the OCR function.Get final product and only need increase the OCR function on server 20 among the present invention, by the OCR service that server 20 provides, the other-end device there is no need to add the OCR function fully just can enjoy OCR service accurately, has saved social cost greatly.
In addition, server 20 among the present invention also provides the address list synchronization service, utilize business card after having increased contacts entries for the user on the server 20, can be by the address list synchronization service with on the extremely any terminal installation of up-to-date address list synchronization, not only realized the OCR effect on the terminal installation, equally also realized the centralized management of address list, convenient for users to use.
According to an enforcement, server 20 can also invite the e-mail address on the business card to invite the business card owner to add server 20.The business card owner also can become the registered user of server 20.If the business card owner has the change of any contact details, server 20 obtains this change, just can all address lists that the business card owner classifies the contact person as be upgraded automatically.
The above only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is in order to restriction the present invention, within the spirit and principles in the present invention not all, any modification of being done, is equal to replacement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
