Embodiment 2

The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific scenarios.

As shown in FIG. 7, the core of the embodiment of the present invention is that when the terminal device (for example, the terminal device's address book detects) detects that the user has changed the phone number (ie, replaces the SIM card), the new user information or The existing contact information in the address book is encapsulated and transmitted to the local social software according to a certain data format, and the social software forwards the received data to the friend. After the friend receives the information, the social software of the receiver is decoded and found to be the communication. After the updated data is recorded, the data is sent to the address book, and the address book updates the local information based on the new contact data.

The above technical solution aims to simplify and intelligently change the contact information of the address book, thereby reducing the situation that the contact information is incorrect in the address book due to the failure to update the contact information in time.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes an implementation of an address book side and an implementation of a social software side such as WeChat, and the specific solution is:

First, a data format is agreed between the address book and the social software, and the contact information is encapsulated according to the data format for data exchange.

As shown in FIG. 8, the format for exchanging data between the address book and the social software may include a header tag, a number of pieces of information, a contact information body, and an end flag.

The information header flag is used to identify that this is an address book information for social software and address book identification;

The number of pieces of information is used to identify the number of contact information to be shared, that is, several pieces of contact information need to be sent to other people;

The contact information body is used to identify the specific contact information content. As shown in FIG. 9, a specific contact information data format can be represented, which is composed of basic information such as a name, a phone number, and a mailbox.

The end flag is used to identify the end of the data.

As shown in FIG. 10, in order to explain the workflow of the present invention, we stipulate the sender user A and the receiver user B, and the relationship in the actual application can be mutually reciprocal.

The workflow for User A is:

1. The number change detection module in the address book detects that the SIM card replacement causes the local number update to prompt the user to share the new personal information to the friend through the social software (or the user chooses to pass one or more contact information in the address book by himself) Social software is shared with friends, one or more of which can include local user information)

2. The contact information sending module encapsulates and encodes the contact information that the user selects to share according to the agreed data format, and sends the encoded data to the social software of the local machine.

3. The social software forwards the contact data to the social software of user B.

The workflow for User B is:

3. The social software receives the information sent by the user A social software.

4. After detecting the contact information by the information header mark, forwarding the data to the address book of the machine Module.

5. The contact information receiving module in the address book decodes the received information.

6. The contact information update module in the address book matches the decoded contact information with the contact information in the address book, and if it is an existing contact, prompts the user to update the existing contact information or create the same name. New contact information, if it is new contact information, prompt the user to create new contact information.

The embodiment of the invention further discloses a computer program, comprising program instructions, when the program instruction is executed by the first terminal device (the terminal that sends the contact information to be shared), so that the first terminal device can execute the shared contact The method of updating any address book on the information sending side.

The embodiment of the invention also discloses a carrier carrying the computer program.

The embodiment of the invention further discloses a computer program, comprising program instructions, when the program instruction is executed by the second terminal device (the terminal receiving the contact information to be shared), so that the second terminal device can execute the shared contact A method of updating any address book on the information receiving side.

The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention, and various modifications and changes can be made to the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and scope of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that all or a portion of the steps described above can be accomplished by a program that instructs the associated hardware, such as a read-only memory, a magnetic or optical disk, and the like. Optionally, all or part of the steps of the foregoing embodiments may also be implemented by using one or more integrated circuits.
