Optionally, each field in the association information is a relationship or a relationship in the retrieval request; the item information in each associated information field is or is related; that is, the social network account number and the associated label in the retrieval request are or are related, Both can be used as a condition for the retrieval; the individual tags entered by the user in the associated tag are also or related to each other, and can be used as a retrieval condition;

Among them, the search strategy is a mandatory item in the search request, and it needs to be provided before the search can be performed.

Step S706, the retrieval server feeds back the retrieval result to the retrieval terminal;

The search result includes two parts, the first part is the retrieval state, that is, the retrieval success or the retrieval failure; the second part is to retrieve the content, when the retrieval state is the retrieval failure, the content of the partial retrieval is empty, and the retrieval content is step 702. Information of 1) and 2); the information needs to be determined according to the associated information attribute of the record in the search server and the search strategy to determine whether to publicly display to the search user;

Optionally, the retrieval server does not feed back all the results to the retrieval terminal at one time, and only feedbacks according to the generation order of the retrieval results and according to a certain number (for example, displaying 10 contact information or 5 contact information at a time) The search terminal can be operated by the searcher to display the next set of search results, and the search server can send a search request to the search server, and the search server can perform corresponding result feedback.

Specifically, according to the retrieval strategy, the contact information that satisfies the requirements is retrieved, which involves 1) the contact information specified in the Vcard2.1 specification, 2) the contact associated information: the social network account (microblog, WeChat , E-mail, Facebook, Twitter), QR code information, does not directly feedback to the search user, only feedback to the search user in the following two ways:

Method 1: enumerate the contacts in the contact request for retrieving the user's local record;

Manner 2: The name of the contact retrieved to meet the user's requirements is displayed according to the search level in the search strategy, and each of the retrieved contacts is displayed by the contact recorded by the user through several levels of retrieval. of. If the search level is fully retrieved, the contact information that meets the user's requirements can be completely listed.

In particular, the display of the contact information that satisfies the search condition may also mark the familiarity of the contact and the contact recorded locally by the user;

Alternatively, the display of the contact information that satisfies the search condition may be sorted according to the familiarity of the contact and the contact recorded locally by the user, and the priority with higher familiarity is displayed.

Step S708, the retrieval terminal selects a trusted contact according to the retrieval result to initiate a contact establishment process;

The contact process may be that the contact information of the contact for obtaining the final search result is obtained by contacting the contact in the local record of the record in the search result to complete the final search result, or may be based on the retrieved The social network number is contacted, and the retrieved QR code information can be contacted, or the retrieved contact information content can be contacted.

As shown above, when Zhang San is a non-operator contact information, his relative information is relatively small. Li Si only records one phone number of Zhang San, WeChat name, and one associated tag. Meanwhile, Li Si did not publicly release Zhang. Three information, And only the specified type of crowd search is allowed (that is, only the contact person who is a friend of Li Si recorded as a friend can retrieve Zhang San), and the search strategy is one level, that is, only Zhang San can be retrieved through Li Si; Wang Wu also records only Zhang San’s phone number, Yixin name, and 1 associated label. At the same time, Wang Wu did not publicly release Zhang San’s information, and only allowed the specified type of people to search (that is, only Wang Wu recorded as a friend’s contact). Talents can be retrieved to Zhang San), and their search strategy is one level, that is, only Zhang San can be retrieved through Wang Wu.

Table 9 is a storage structure table of the contact information in the retrieval server according to the embodiment of the present invention;

Zhang San, Li Si and Wang Wu both updated their contact information to the search server. The search server associates the contact information. The associated results are as follows:

Table 9:

One owner can associate multiple non-owner record numbers; one non-owner can only associate one machine master record number; multiple non-lores are associated with one machine master record number during hierarchical retrieval; these records The number can be used for mutual indexing between contacts;

Illustrated on the basis of the above-mentioned respective tables, FIG. 8 is a logic flow chart 1 of a method for processing a contact of a contact according to an embodiment of the present invention; as shown in FIG. 8, the process includes the following steps:

Step S802, the user submits a retrieval request to the retrieval server according to the retrieval content;

Step S804, the search server performs a search in the associated contact of the user according to the search request. If the contact that meets the search request is searched, the search result is recorded, and the search is ended; if the search is not found, the return to the owner contact is not included. Retrieving the contact that meets the requirements, and then proceeding to step S806;

Step S806, the search server performs a level 1 search according to the search request, that is, searches from the non-owner contacts associated with the non-owner contact of the user; if the contact that meets the search request is found, records the search result, End the search; if the search fails, first return to the level 1 search and not find the contact that meets the requirements, and then proceed to step S808;

Step S808, the retrieval server performs an N-level (n>=2) search according to the retrieval requirement, that is, searches from the non-owner contacts associated with the non-owner contact of the user; if the contact that meets the retrieval requirement is searched Then, the search result is recorded, and the search is ended; if the search is not found, the contact that satisfies the requirement is not retrieved in the N-level search first, and N=N+1 is performed, and then step S808 is performed.

Specifically, in the process of steps S806 and S808, the retrieval server needs to record the record number of the search traversal. Once the record number in the search process is found to be repeated, the retrieval process of the search branch is immediately stopped, and the search branch is returned. One layer, and return to this layer of the search failed to retrieve the results that meet the requirements, and mark the layer to search the end, can not continue to search.

The following is an example. For example, Wang Wu needs to search for an associated contact, and hopes that the associated contact is a traffic police, so submits a search request to the check server, and the associated tag in the search request is “traffic police”; the search server first The owner of the number 3 owner contacted Wang Wu to search for the contact. Since the owner of the owner, Wang Wu, has only one contact record 13, the non-owner contact Zhang San, after searching for the information of Zhang San, is not satisfied. Search conditions, first return the contact in your contact that does not meet the conditions, and then carry out level 1 search, that is, whether the contact recorded when the non-owner contact Zhang San is the owner contact meets the conditions, first search for Zhang San The owner information of the record, the "traffic police" information is not retrieved, and the non-owner information of the Zhang San record is retrieved. There are two record numbers 11, 16, and the number 11 records the Li Si, and the search for the Li Si record has " If the traffic police" message returns to the level 1 search, find the contact Li Si who meets the search requirements; continue to retrieve the record number 16; if there is no "traffic police" information in the record of number 16, the search ends. ;

During the search process, the order of the recorded record numbers is as shown in the following table. The record number at which the search is started is 3, the level 0 is searched for record number 13, and the level 1 search for the record number is 1, 11, and 16;

Retrieve the search record number of "traffic police"

In particular, if there is no record of "traffic police" information in the numbers 11 and 16 of the non-owner information record of Zhangsan, a level 2 search is required. First, the number 2 of the record number 14 is found as the owner number 2, Lee at this time 4. As the owner of the machine, there is no information to record the traffic police. You need to check the non-owner contact of the Li Si record. At this time, only the Zhang 3 with the number 9 is found. After checking, the contact who meets the requirements cannot be found. The level 2 search of number 11; secondly, the record number 5 of the number 16 is found as the owner's number 3, and it is found that the number 3 already exists in the search record number, then the search of the branch is ended; the level 3 search is continued, and the number is first found. The number 3 of 9 is the owner's number 1, and it is found that the number 1 already exists in the retrieval record number, and the branch of the technology is retrieved. At this point, if all the branch searches are completed, the user is returned to the user and the contact that satisfies the condition is not retrieved, and the whole process of the search is ended.

Retrieve the search record number of "traffic police"

In particular, in all of the above retrieval processes, only the records of "whether publicly posted" or not in the associated information attribute of the contact record are retrieved.

The results of the contact search have the following possibilities:

1) failed to retrieve any results that satisfy the conditions;

2) The 0-level search retrieves the result that satisfies the condition, and directly displays the result stored in the local contact to the user;

3) N (N>=1) level search retrieves the results that meet the conditions, there are two ways to display:

1) Local contact xxx can contact the contact who meets the conditions;

2) Retrieving the contact that meets the conditions, the local contact xxx can contact him;

For example, to retrieve the “traffic police” in Figure 8, the level 1 search is an example, and the following two results can be displayed:

1) Local contact Zhang San can contact the traffic police 1 person;

2) Search for 1 person in the traffic police, you can contact the local contact Zhang San;

Specially, suppose the contact person of the owner's contact Wang Wu recorded Zhang San, there is no information about the traffic police, but when Zhang San is the owner, the related information has “traffic police”, the result of the search should also have:

3) Searching for local contact Zhang San is a traffic police;

For example, if you search for "traffic police" and pass Level 2 search, you can have the following two methods.

1) Local contact Zhang San, can contact one of the traffic police through another contact Li Si;

2) Search for the traffic police 1 and you can contact the other contact Li Si through the local contact Zhang San;

In particular, suppose the contact person recorded by the owner's contact, Zhang San, as the contact person of the owner's contact Zhang San, has no traffic police information, but when Li Si is the owner, the device related information has “traffic police”. The result of the search should also be;

3) Searching for the contact person of the local contact Zhang San, Li Si is the traffic police;
