Communication terminal and number inquiry method

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a communication terminal and a number query method.

In recent years, the communication industry has flourished, and mobile phones have become popular. People can easily contact friends and family and handle work affairs by using mobile phones. Mobile phones have become an important part of people's lives.

One of the important functions of mobile phones is mobile phone communication, that is, using mobile phones to contact friends and family, and mobile phone communication is to know the other party's phone number. Since the number of friends and family members has more phone numbers, it is difficult to remember the phone number of each contact. Therefore, people store the phone numbers of each contact in the mobile phone address book. When the user needs to communicate with a bit contact in the mobile phone address book, the phone number of the contact person must first be found in the mobile phone address book before communication can be performed.

However, the contact number of the contact stored in the general user's mobile phone address book is relatively large, and the mobile phone button needs to be continuously operated to query the phone number of the contact person to be contacted from the phone numbers of the plurality of contacts. This query method is time consuming and inconvenient to operate.

In view of this, it is necessary to provide a communication terminal that implements a quick inquiry number.

In addition, it is necessary to provide a quick way to query numbers.

A communication terminal includes a storage unit for storing contact number information, the communication terminal further includes an input unit and an inquiry unit, the contact number information includes color information set by the user for the contact by the input unit, the query The unit is configured to obtain color information, and compare whether the color information of the contact in the storage unit is the same as the acquired color information, to find the contact number information that will have the acquired color information.

A number query method is used for querying the number information of the contact stored in the communication terminal. The method for querying the number includes the following steps: setting color information for the contact according to the user operation, and combining the color information with the number information of the contact Performing a save request; generating a query request for querying the contact number information according to the user operation; obtaining color information according to the query request; comparing the obtained color information with the color information in the saved contact number information; The color information has the same contact information as the acquired color information, and the contact number information is displayed.

The above communication terminal and the number query method can conveniently query the number information of the contact with the color information by acquiring the color information, thereby avoiding the continuous operation of the communication terminal to save time.

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a communication terminal according to a preferred embodiment.

2 is a flow chart of a method for number querying according to a preferred embodiment.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a functional module diagram of a communication terminal 100 according to a preferred embodiment. A user can communicate with another user holding the communication terminal 100 by using the communication terminal 100 .

The communication terminal 100 includes an input unit 11, a capturing unit 12, an identification unit 13, a selection unit 14, an inquiry unit 15, a storage unit 17, and a display unit 19.

The storage unit 17 is configured to store the number information of the contact and the color information pre-stored by the user through the input unit 11. The contact number information includes the name of the contact, the telephone number of the contact, and the color information set by the user through the input unit 11 for the contact. The color information is the color used by the background or text when the contact's number information is displayed. For example, the father's number information is set to blue, and the lover's number information is set to red.

The capturing unit 12 captures an image of an external object based on the user's operation on the input unit 11, and transmits the captured image to the recognition unit 13. The capturing unit 12 is an imaging component that is provided by the communication terminal, such as a mobile phone camera.

The identification unit 153 receives the image transmitted by the capture unit 12 and analyzes the image to determine the color information of the image. The identification unit 15 delivers the identified color information to the inquiry unit 15. The query unit 15 matches the identified color information with the color information in the number information of all contacts in the storage unit 17. If the color information of the contact among all the contacts is the same as the color information of the identification, the number information of the contact is displayed by the display unit 19, and the query failure message is displayed by the display unit 19.

The selection unit 14 selects the color information in the storage unit 17 based on the user's operation on the input unit 11, and transmits the color information to the inquiry unit 15. Query unit 15 will The selected color information is matched with the color information in the number information of all contacts in the storage unit 17. If the color information of the contact among all the contacts is the same as the selected color information, the number information of the contact is displayed by the display unit 19, and the query failure message is displayed by the display unit 19.

In this way, the user can quickly obtain the contact number information by capturing the image of the external object or by selecting the color information in the storage, thereby avoiding continuously operating the communication terminal 100 to obtain the contact number information, thereby reducing the operation. Steps to save time.

As shown in FIG. 2, it is a flowchart of a number query method according to a preferred embodiment, which includes the following steps:

Step 401: Set color information for the contact according to the user operation, and save the color information together with the number information of the contact.

Step 403: Generate a query request for querying contact number information according to a user operation.

Step 405: Acquire color information according to the above query request. The color information can be obtained by capturing an image of an external object and analyzing the image to obtain color information of the image. The color information can also be selected by the user's operation to select the color information that the user pre-stores in the storage.

Step 407: Compare the obtained color information with the color information in the number information of the saved contact. If the color information of the contact has the same contact as the acquired color information, step 491 is performed; otherwise, step 411 is performed.

Step 409: Display the number information of the contact with the same color information as the above image.

Step 411: Display a query failure message.

The above number query method can conveniently and quickly query the number information of the contact with the color information by sending a query request and obtaining color information, thereby avoiding continuous operation to save time.
