Description

Dialing name matching method and terminal

technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a dialing name matching method and a terminal.

Background technique

Today, when the relationship between mobile phones and people's daily life is becoming more and more complicated, users usually store a large number of contact numbers in their mobile phones. It is obviously difficult to memorize all the numbers one by one, and the tedious search process before dialing each time is extremely time-consuming. In order to solve this problem, the prior art proposes a dial matching technology, which can prompt the corresponding matching number according to the user's input for the user to choose, which can greatly shorten the time for the user to search for the number.

Some existing dial matching methods mainly have the following three modes:

One is the matching of the first string of the number, by entering the first few digits of the contact number for matching search, such as inputting "139", the terminal will match all the contacts whose mobile phone numbers start with "139" for the user to choose;

The second is the number substring matching, by entering several consecutive digits in any position of the contact number for matching, such as inputting "139", the terminal will match all the contacts whose mobile phone numbers contain consecutive "139" digit strings for the user to choose;

The third is the matching of the first letter of the Chinese pinyin, by entering the first letter of the contact person's pinyin for matching search, such as inputting "39", the terminal will recognize it as the letter corresponding to the number key, and match the first two letters of the pinyin of all names as "DW ", "FW" and so on.

However, there are defects in different degrees in the existing dial matching methods. When adopting number first string matching or number substring matching, there are at least the following defects: one is that the user must clearly remember the consecutive digits of the contact number, but most Under normal circumstances, the user often only remembers the name of the contact; the second is that when the number of contacts stored on the mobile phone is large, there will be more consecutive contacts in the first few or any positions of the mobile phone, and it still takes a long time for the user to Only then can the number to be dialed be found.

When adopting contact person's pinyin initial letter matching mode, there is following defect at least: the one, the user must clearly remember the name of contact person; It takes a long time to find the number to dial.

Detailed ways

In order to improve the user's dialing experience and make up for the shortcomings of the existing dialing matching method, the embodiment of the present invention provides a dialing name matching method, which can accurately and quickly perform contact name matching, improves the accuracy of dialing fuzzy matching, and reduces the burden on users. Regarding the requirements for the accuracy of contact name memory, the specific processing flow is shown in Figure 1, including:

Step 101, receiving multiple digit strings and separators input by the user on the dial interface via the dial pad, the separator is located between the multiple digit strings, and the multiple digit strings separated by the separator are respectively based on the surname or first name of the contact being searched. The letter substring containing its first letter in the corresponding pinyin or English letter string is determined;

Step 102, converting a plurality of numeric strings separated by separators into corresponding alphabetic strings;

Step 103, sorting the converted letter strings according to the preset alphabetical sorting rules to obtain the sorted letter string groups;

Step 104, each letter string in the letter string group is stored in the contact name list and corresponding to each contact name, and the pinyin corresponding to the contact's last name and first name sorted according to the preset initial alphabet sorting rule or English letter strings to determine the matching contact name.

In daily life, users may not be able to fully remember the name of the contact being searched for, and may only remember two characters in the contact name, such as one character between the last name and the first name, or two characters in the first name , it is even possible to only remember two words in the contact name, but not remember the order of the two words. In this case, the existing initial letter matching method cannot match the contact name that the user is looking for. In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the embodiment of the present invention proposes the method that utilizes delimiter to separate a plurality of input numeral strings, and specific implementation is as follows: In one embodiment, when step 101 is being implemented, the user passes the dial pad on the dialing interface Enter multiple number strings and delimiters, wherein the delimiter is located between the multiple number strings, and each number string separated by the delimiter is based on the pinyin or English letter string corresponding to the surname or first name of the contact being searched for. The letter substring of the first letter is determined. That is to say, in the embodiment of the present invention, the user only needs to enter a plurality of digit strings and separators on the dial interface through the dial pad, and can directly query the contacts without entering the address book or other query contact information. interface, simple and quick.

In one embodiment, the delimiter can be realized in many ways, for example, a space can be used as a delimiter, a "*" can be used as a delimiter, a "#" can be used as a delimiter, and Symbols other than numbers are used as separators, as long as the symbols can achieve the purpose of separating multiple strings of numbers.

In one embodiment, since there are few contact names with the same two characters, at least one delimiter should be input in order to achieve accurate and rapid contact name matching. A string of digits corresponds to two characters in the last name or first name of the contact being searched for.

In one embodiment, when step 102 is implemented, the plurality of strings of numbers separated by separators are converted into corresponding letter strings respectively, and the conversion rules are the corresponding conversion rules of numbers and letters preset on the dial.

In one embodiment, when step 103 is implemented, the converted letter strings are sorted according to the preset alphabetic sorting rule to obtain the sorted alphabetic string group, wherein the preset initial alphabetic sorting rule can be the first letter Sort in ascending order, or in descending order with the first letter. In the implementation, the sorting method to be used depends on the actual situation.

In one embodiment, when step 104 is implemented, each letter string in the letter string group is stored in the contact name list corresponding to each contact name and sorted according to the preset initial alphabetical ordering rule. Match the pinyin or English letter string corresponding to the first and last name of the contact to determine the matching contact name. During implementation, when sorting the pinyin or English letter strings corresponding to the contact's last name and first name according to the preset first letter sorting rule, the pinyin or English letter strings corresponding to the contact's last name and first name can be separated by a separator. During implementation, the list of contact names can be realized in various forms, for example, it can be in the form of a file, it can also be in the form of a table, and it can also be in other forms that can store the contact names and their corresponding pinyin or English letter strings.

In the embodiment of the present invention, each letter string in the letter string group is matched with the pinyin or letter string corresponding to the sorted contact surname and first name stored in the contact name list. Therefore, the two need to use the preset The same first letter sorting rule, for example, both are sorted in ascending order of first letter, or both are sorted in descending order of first letter.

During implementation, the specific matching process is shown in Figure 2, including:

Step 201, obtain the first letter string in the letter string group, and determine the contact corresponding to the pinyin or English letter string containing the first letter string in the stored pinyin or English letter string corresponding to the first and last name of the contact collection of person names;

Step 202, obtain the next letter string in the letter string group, and further determine that the pinyin or English letter string corresponding to the last name and first name of the contact person contains the obtained this time in the contact name set corresponding to the previous letter string A collection of contact names corresponding to the pinyin or English letter string of the letter string;

Step 203: Determine the contact name in the set of contact names corresponding to the pinyin or English letter string containing the last letter string in the letter string group as the matching contact name.

In an embodiment, the contact name list may also store a phone number corresponding to each contact name, and when a matching contact name is determined, the phone number corresponding to the matching contact name is also determined.

If there are many contact names stored in the contact name list, the matching range can be narrowed by increasing the length of each character string. In the embodiment of the present invention, fuzzy matching is performed on each word in the contact name, and the probability that two words in the contact name are the same is small, so the matching range is greatly reduced and the matching accuracy is improved.

Let’s take a specific example to illustrate. In this example, a space is used as an identifier, and the default rule for initial letters is to sort them in ascending order of initial letters:

Now assume that the name of the contact the user is looking for is "Ge Jinglan", but the user only remembers the two characters "Ge" and "Jing" in the contact name, and does not remember the order of the two characters, nor the third character , at this time, the user can input "454" on the dial interface through the dial pad, and the terminal detects multiple received number strings, and after detecting spaces, converts the number strings separated by spaces into the corresponding string "G JI ". Sort "G JI" according to the ascending order of the first letter, and get the sorted letter string "G JI". In this example, the contact name list stores a large number of contact names, and also stores the pinyin or English corresponding to the contact's first and last names sorted according to the preset initial alphabetic sorting rules corresponding to each contact name Alphabet strings, such as "Ge Jinglan", the corresponding character string obtained after conversion is "GE JING LAN", which is still "GE JING LAN" after sorting in ascending order of the first letter. Of course, the contact name list also stores other contacts name, as shown in Figure 3.

When matching, first obtain the first letter string "G", and determine all the strings that contain "G" as the first letter in the pinyin or English alphabet strings corresponding to the contact's surname and first name stored in the contact name list The contact name collection corresponding to the pinyin or English letter string; secondly, obtain the second letter string "JI", and continue to search for the string starting with "JI" in the previous matching contact name collection to narrow the matching range , it is easier to match "Ge Jinglan". In a specific embodiment, the matching result (including name and number) can be output to the display screen, as shown in FIG. 4 .

If the sequence of dialing information entered by the user is "54 5", the terminal converts it to "JI G". In this example, the terminal sorts "JI G" in ascending order of the first letter, and the sorted result is still "G JI" , therefore, the matching result is still the same, and the specific display result is shown in FIG. 5 .

Of course, if there are many contact names stored in the contact name list, the length of the matching character string can be increased, such as using the first three letters of the pinyin alphabet strings corresponding to "Ge" and "Jing" to match, so as to improve the matching accuracy and Find speed.

The dialing name matching method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is also applicable to English names, and is now described with a specific embodiment:

Now assume that the name of the contact the user is looking for is "Jim Carter". In this example, "Jim Carter" is sorted in ascending order of the first letter to "CARTER JIM". The user may not remember all the English spellings, and the order may not be remembered. For example, only "Ji Ca" or "Car J", assuming that the user only remembers "Car J", the user enters "227 5" on the dial interface, and the terminal will display a space The number strings on both sides are converted to "CAR J", and the alphabet string obtained after sorting is "CAR J".

When matching, first obtain the first letter string "CAR", and determine the strings containing all the strings starting with "CAR" in the pinyin or English alphabet strings corresponding to the first and last name of the contact stored in the contact name list The contact name collection corresponding to the pinyin or English letter string; secondly, obtain the second letter string "J", and continue to search for the string starting with "J" in the previous matching contact name collection to narrow the matching range, Then "Jim Carter" can be easily matched, and the name and number are displayed, as shown in Figure 6.

Similarly, if the user only remembers "Ji Ca", the user enters "54 22" on the dial interface, and the terminal converts it to "CA JI". Therefore, the matching result is still the same, as shown in Figure 7.
