Description

维护和通讯录中联系人有关的多维相关信息的方法和系统 技术领域
本发明涉及到个人通讯终端技术, 并且更具体地, 涉及一种用于 管理个人通讯录的方法和装置。 背景技术
随着移动通讯技术的发展, 手机成为人们最主要的沟通工具之 一。大多数手机都提供了通讯录储存和管理功能, 用户可以将联系人 的姓名 /电话号码 /公司名称等信息记录为名片; 并可以根据姓名或者 电话号码, 搜索联系人。
通讯录和通讯工具的结合, 带来了很大的方便, 人们也越来越习 惯将电话号码记录到手机中。 同时, 由于互联网, 电子邮件, 即时聊 天工具的发展, 人们相互之间的沟通和联系越来越方便, 社交圈子比 以前更广, 由此导致通讯录的增长非常迅速, 对于一些商务人士, 其 手机通讯录中的联系人往往达到了几百甚至上千人。
然而, 在一个固定的时间范围, 人们经常联系的人不过几十个人 而已, 手机中大部分的人很长时间都不会联系。这就给通讯录的管理 带来了麻烦: 时间长了不联系, 用户很容易忘记通讯录中的某位联系 人是谁, 因此, 很多通讯录较大的用户经常会遇到如下的问题: 想给 某个不熟悉的人打电话, 却怎么也想不起对方的姓名和号码, 即使已 经在通讯录中保存了对方的名片, 由于不记得名字, 将无法查询。
目前的大多数手机通讯录管理软件,虽然允许用户存储联系人更 多的属性, 例如公司、 电子邮件、 地址等信息, 用户也可以使用这些 属性进行搜索。

作为一个实施例,下面结合图 2所示的用于分析和维护与通讯录 中联系人有关的多维相关信息数据的方法,详细描述系统 100的操作 以及各种组件。
应当指出,本发明的用于分析和维护与某位联系人有关的多维相 关信息数据的方法也可在与系统 100类似的其他系统中实现,只要本 发明的用于分析和维护与联系人有关的多维相关信息数据的方法的 各步骤得到执行即可。
如图 2所示, 在开始时 (通常指用户手机开机之后), 手机事件 监视器 101将启动。
当用户根据需要使用手机时, 在步骤 201, 手机事件监视器 101 监听用户的操作, 用于确定影响该多维相关信息的事件是否发生。 当 手机事件监视器 101确认影响该多维相关信息的事件已经发生后,将 识别出的事件送入多维相关信息分析器 102进行分析,进入步骤 202。
在步骤 202, 多维相关信息分析器 102根据事件类别, 分析并更 新该事件所影响到的联系人有关多维相关信息。一旦多维相关信息分 析器 102完成事件的分析工作,则将其识别出的联系人和有关的多维 相关信息数据送入多维相关信息记录器 103, 进入步骤 203。
在步骤 203, 多维相关信息记录器 103保存多维相关信息数据到 多维相关信息数据存储库 104中, 并维护其与联系人之间的关联。
下面以具体监控的事件为例, 进一步地描述各个步骤的过程。 根据用户需要和手机提供的功能, 通常有各种操作事件会发生, 例如拨打或接听电话、创建或者修改通讯录中的联系人、发送或者接 收短信、 甚至玩游戏等。 在本实施例中, 优选地, 会影响所述多维相 关信息的事件通常包括创建新的联系人名片、修改已有的联系人名片 的内容、拨打电话、接听电话、发送短消息、接收短消息这 6种事件。 手机事件监视器 101将从用户的各种操作中识别出这 6种事件。
如果发生的事件是创建新的联系人名片的事件,则多维相关信息 分析器 102将执行以下步骤:读取并记录当时的手机系统时间作为名 片创建时的相关时间; 如果 GPS设备 106 (其是可选的)可用, 则从 GPS设备读取并记录当时手机所处地点的经纬度数据,否则读取并记 录当时手机设备的 Cell ID数据, 此地理位置数据作为名片创建时的 相关地点; 分析系统的通讯记录以获取相关的通讯时间; 分析系统的 短信收件箱和 /或发件箱以获取相关人。
如果发生的事件是修改已有的联系人名片的内容(例如, 包括添 加新的电话号码、 修改已有的电话号码等)事件, 则多维相关信息分 析器 102将执行以下步骤:分析系统的通讯记录以获取相关的通讯时 间; 分析系统的短信收件箱和 /或发件箱以获取相关人。
如果发生的事件是拨打电话事件,则多维相关信息分析器 102将 执行以下步骤:读取并记录呼叫发起时的手机系统时间作为相关的通 讯时间; 如果 GPS设备 106 (其是可选的)可用, 则从 GPS设备 106 读取并记录当时手机所处地点的经纬度数据,否则读取并记录当时手 机设备的 Cell ID数据, 此地理位置数据作为相关通讯地点。
如果发生的事件是接听电话事件,则多维相关信息分析器 102将 执行以下步骤:读取并记录呼入电话接通时的手机系统时间作为相关 的通讯时间; 如果 GPS设备 106 (其是可选的) 可用, 则从 GPS设 备 106读取并记录当时手机所处地点的经纬度数据,否则读取并记录 当时手机设备的 Cell ID数据, 此地理位置数据作为相关通讯地点。
如果发生的事件是发送短消息事件, 则多维相关信息分析器 102 将执行以下步骤:读取并记录用户发送短信时的手机系统时间作为相 关的短信联络时间; 如果 GPS 设备 106 (其是可选的) 可用, 则从 GPS设备 106读取并记录当时手机所处地点的经纬度数据,否则读取 并记录当时手机设备的 Cell ID数据, 此地理位置数据作为相关的短 信联络时地点;分析发送出去的短消息的内容和属性,识别出相关人。
如果发生的事件是接收短消息事件, 则多维相关信息分析器 102 将执行以下步骤:读取并记录用户接收到短信时的手机系统时间作为 相关的短信联络时间; 如果 GPS设备 106 (其是可选的)可用, 则从 GPS设备读取并记录当时手机所处地点的经纬度数据,否则读取并记 录当时手机设备的 Cell ID数据, 此地理位置数据作为相关的短信联 络时地点; 分析接收到的短消息的内容和属性, 识别出相关人。
优选地, 在步骤 203中, 多维相关信息记录器 103可进行判断: 如果 102识别出的联系人是新创建的联系人,则创建一条新的多维相 关信息记录,并以和该联系人相关联的方式保存到多维相关信息数据 库中;否则多维相关信息记录器 103将首先找到和该联系人有关的多 维相关信息记录并进行更新。
优选地, 如果在步骤 202中识别出了新的相关人, 则多维相关信 息记录器不但要更新该联系人的相关人列表,还要找到新识别出的相 关人的多维相关信息记录器,将该联系人添加到新识别出的相关人的 相关人列表中。
优选地,多维相关信息记录器 103完成了将多维相关信息数据保 存到多维相关信息存储库 104 之后, 如果用户根据需要转移通讯录 (例如, 换手机时转移通讯录中名片数据或备份数据), 则用户可以 使用数据转移装置 105 (其是可选的), 同时从多维相关信息存储库 104中转移多维相关信息数据, 以保持在新的手机系统中, 通讯录中 联系人和所述多维相关信息数据之间的关联和同步关系。
在本发明的另一个方面,还提供了一种依据所述和通讯录中的联 系人有关的多维相关信息数据执行多维检索、搜索联系人的装置 300, 如图 3中所示, 装置 300包括多维搜索条件接收模块 301, 用于接收 用户输入的多维检索条件; 多维相关信息数据检索模块 302, 用于根 据检索条件, 检索多维相关信息数据找出用户所搜寻的目标联系人; 搜索结果呈现模块 303, 用于向用户呈现多维相关信息数据检索模块 所匹配到的目标联系人列表, 并使用手机用户接口 306呈现给用户。
优选地, 本发明的依据多维相关信息执行多维检索、搜索联系人 的装置还可以包括地理信息数据库 304, 以允许用户输入地名而非经 纬度信息来执行多维检索。
应注意, 地理信息数据库 304是可选的, 即使没有该组件, 用户 也可以输入经纬度作为检索条件执行多维检索,因此装置 300可以缺 少组件 304, 但不会脱离本发明的基本原理范围。
另外应指出,本发明的依据所述和通讯录中的联系人有关的多维 相关信息数据执行多维检索、 搜索联系人的装置 300是独立的装置, 特别地用于检索和呈现已由本发明的系统 100 创建和维护的与通讯 录中联系人有关的多维相关信息数据。并且系统 100中的组件多维相 关信息数据存储库 104, 成为装置 300的组件多维相关信息数据检索 模块 302的数据来源。
作为一个实施例,下面结合图 4中所示本发明的依据上面所提到 的所述多维相关信息数据执行检索, 搜索联系人的方法, 详细描述装 置 300以及其各个组件的操作。
如图 4所示出的, 在步骤 401, 多维搜索条件接收模块 301接收 用户输入的查询条件 305, 查询条件 305可以是时间、 地点、 相关人 这 3个维度的组合, 并且在和时间与地点相关的条件中, 用户还可以 指定事件类型, 包括名片创建、 通话和短信。 然后, 在步骤 402, 多 维相关信息数据检索模块 302根据查询条件 305, 从系统 100的组件 多维相关信息数据存储库, 以及地理信息数据库 (其是可选的), 找 出满足条件的多维相关信息数据记录。 然后, 在步骤 403, 根据多维 相关信息数据和手机通讯录中联系人的关联关系, 检索手机通讯录 307, 进一步找出和步骤 402搜索得到的多维相关信息数据记录相关 的联系人。最后,在步骤 404, 搜索结果呈现模块 303将找出的结果, 通过手机用户接口 306呈现给用户。
下面以具体的搜索事件为例, 进一步地描述上述各个步骤的过 程。
例如, 当用户想要搜索某个联系人的电话号码, 但忘记了这个联 系人的姓名的时候, 使用装置 300, 用户可以使用时间、 地点、 相关 人这 3个维度的组合来搜索联系人, 在和时间与地点相关的条件中, 用户还可以指定事件类型, 包括名片创建、 通话和短信。 以下举例进 行说明:
假设当前时间为 2009年 9月 7日, 如果用户回忆起大概是在半 年前认识的这位联系人, 于是用户可以设定检索条件为: 类型为名片 创建, 时间范围 2009-3-1〜2009-3-15 (范围可调整)。 装置 300将返 回在该时间范围内新添加的名片。这将大大缩小用户搜索的范围, 帮 助用户找出目标联系人。
假设用户回忆起大概 1个月前在城市 A和这位联系人通过电话, 于是可以设定检索条件为: 类型为通话, 时间范围 2009-08-10〜 2009-08-20 (范围可调整), 地点范围为城市八。装置 300将返回在该 时间范围内和地点范围内和用户发生过通话的联系人。这将大大缩小 用户搜索的范围, 帮助用户找出目标联系人。
假设用户回忆起该联系人是自己的另一个朋友 F推荐给自己认 识的, 于是可以设定检索条件为相关人为联系人 F。 装置 300将返回 和联系人 F有关的所有联系人, 这同样会大大缩小用户搜索的范围, 帮助用户找出目标联系人。
由以上所举出的例子可知,本发明在不增加用户任何负担的情况 下 (不需要用户手动添加和维护任何额外的信息), 扩大了用户可用 的通讯录搜索条件。使得用户即使在忘记联系人的姓名或其它属性的 情况下, 也可以通过时间、 地点和相关人这三个维度进行多维检索, 从而可以大大提高找到目标的概率。
