FIG. 5 is a processing flowchart of the social information management system according to the embodiment of the present invention. First, the user (hereinafter referred to as the "current user") registers a user account on the initial interface of the social terminal 2 and enters his or her contact information (step S1). The input-output module 24 of the social terminal 2 accepts the registration information input by the current user. The registration information includes the user name and password input by the current user. The unit 124 forwards it to the account management unit 121 , and the account management unit 121 assigns a unique user ID to the current user and saves the registration information in the account data unit 131 . After the registration is completed, the current user continues to input his contact information on the initial interface of the social terminal 2, and the above-mentioned contact information is sent to the information scheduling unit 124 in the same way as the registration information, and the information scheduling unit 124 generates the user's address book according to the contact information The entry and the electronic business card entry are sent to the address book management unit 122 and the electronic business card management unit 123 respectively, and are stored in the address book data unit 132 and the electronic business card data unit 133 corresponding to the current user ID. That is, the current user's registration and association information, address book information, and electronic business card information are stored in the account data unit 131, address book management unit 122, and electronic business card management unit 123, respectively, and all correspond to the current user's ID.

After the registration is completed, the social terminal 2 displays an operation interface, on which there is an "address book" button. The current user can select the "Address Book" button on the operation interface to enter the address book operation interface. Then the current user can select the "edit address book" button on the address book operation interface to edit the address book (step S2). If the current user chooses to edit the address book (step S2: yes), the address book processing unit 222 of the social terminal 2 displays the address book editing interface on the input and output module 24, and the current user can select to edit a new communication on the address book editing interface. Directory contact entries or import address book contacts (step S3). Otherwise (step S2: NO), the process goes directly to step S6.

The address book processing unit 222 transmits the edited or imported address book contact entries to the information scheduling unit 124 of the cloud server 1 through the network. For each contact entry, the information scheduling unit 124 instructs the address book management unit 122 to use one or more fields of the contact entry as keywords to search in the corresponding fields of the address book contacts stored in the address book data unit 132 . If no consistent entry is retrieved, the address book management unit 122 creates a new entry for the contact in the address book data unit 132 and assigns a unique unregistered contact ID. If an entry with exactly the same information is retrieved, it means that the contact is a registered user of the system or a contact with an unregistered contact ID. Then, associate the newly created or retrieved user ID or unregistered contact ID with the current user (step S4). The method of associating the contact with the current user is: the address book management unit 122 sends the ID of the contact (maybe a user ID or an ID of an unregistered contact) to the information scheduling unit 124, and the information scheduling unit 124 forwards it to The account management unit 121, the account management unit 121 creates a new entry in the storage location of the current user's address book associated ID in the account data unit 131 for saving the ID of the contact. Perform the above operations on all address book entries edited or imported, so that the information of each contact is stored in the address book data unit 132 and has a corresponding ID, and the IDs of all contacts of the current user are stored in the account data unit 131 in.

After editing or importing contacts, the social terminal 2 can perform data synchronization with the cloud server 1 . The current user can select the "synchronization" button on the address book operation interface to perform synchronization. After pressing the "synchronization" button, the address book processing unit 222 of the social terminal 2 sends an address book synchronization instruction to the information scheduling unit 124 of the cloud server 1, The information scheduling unit 124 instructs the account management unit 121 to query the IDs of all contacts associated with the current user in the account data unit 131 and sends them to the address book processing unit 222 of the social terminal 2. After obtaining the contact ID, the information scheduling unit 124 instructs the communication The directory management unit sends the obtained address book entry corresponding to the contact ID to the address book processing unit 222 of the social terminal 2 . The address book processing unit 222 uses the received data to update the contact data stored in the address book storage unit 232 to complete data synchronization.

The user or contact information may also include avatars, and usually a real avatar photo can help users accurately identify a contact, so it is beneficial to include a real avatar photo in the address book. However, some users did not submit real avatar photos when registering, but replaced them with irrelevant pictures such as landscape pictures and cartoon patterns. Some of them are not real avatars. If the user wishes to change the avatar of the contact into a real avatar, he can select the attribute menu of the contact on the social terminal 2, select "search real avatar", and the address book processing unit 222 searches for the real avatar of the contact (step S5) . The avatar processing unit 223 has an application program interface for searching contacts from other social software on the social terminal 2 and obtaining avatar photos, and can also set an application program interface for retrieving keywords of contact information on the network and obtaining related pictures. The avatar processing unit 223 uses a certain field of the contact information as a key to search whether the contact's avatar photo is stored in other social software on the social terminal 2, and if so, grabs the photo. It is also possible to search online whether there are photos related to the contact person on the Internet, and among them, information such as network communication software and network information release related to the individual is prioritized, such as QQ profile picture, Weibo, etc. The avatar processing unit 223 analyzes the photos obtained from the above-mentioned ways, finds out the photo that is more likely to be a real avatar and displays it on the social terminal 2 together with the avatar photo obtained from the cloud server 1, and the user selects one of them as the link Profile photo of person. Here, the avatar processing unit 223 can use general-purpose face recognition technology to analyze whether the acquired avatar is a real avatar, an occluded avatar that is difficult to identify, a cartoon character's avatar, or a landscape without facial features. Photos that may be real avatars are screened out for the user to select. The screened photos are displayed on the social terminal 2, and the user selects one of them to use it as the avatar of the contact, and the address book processing unit 222 uploads the photo selected by the user to the account data unit 131 of the cloud server 1. The photo storage location corresponding to the corresponding contact ID under the user's address book association information.

Then, the current user can also choose whether to operate the electronic business card on the social terminal 2 (step S6). In addition to the "Address Book" button, there is also an "electronic business card" button on the operation interface of the social terminal 2 . The user selects the "electronic business card" button to enter the electronic business card operation interface. Then the current user can select the "edit electronic business card" button on the electronic business card operation interface to edit the electronic business card (step S7). The user can choose to edit a new electronic business card entry or import an electronic business card on the electronic business card editing interface (step S7: Yes). If you do not choose to edit or import the electronic business card (step S7: No), you can also scan the contact's physical information code 3 as described later to obtain the contact's electronic business card information (step S8: yes). The electronic business card processing unit 224 transmits the electronic business card of the contact to the electronic business card management unit 123 of the cloud server 1 through the network and stores it in a corresponding position of the electronic business card data unit 133 . The electronic business card management unit 123 then performs electronic business card association work (step S9 ). The entry of the electronic business card may also include information such as an avatar, and the way of determining the avatar may be consistent with the way of determining the avatar in the address book. The associating operation of the edited or imported electronic business card is similar to the associating operation of the address book. The scanned electronic business card can be directly associated with the contact, and the processing flow of the associating operation will not be repeated here.

When the registered user changes his contact information on the social terminal 2 to change or change his avatar picture (step S10: yes), the updated information is uploaded to the information management module 12 of the cloud server 1, and the information management module 12 detects the update Then correspondingly update the corresponding information of the user in the address book data unit 132 and the electronic business card data unit 133 (step S11), and at the same time send a Notification of information update (step S12). In this way, when the information of each user changes, its contacts can be informed in time and automatically update the information.

Fig. 6 is a flow chart of electronic business card exchange and management in the social information management system of the present invention. When the user registers in the system as described above and edits his electronic business card, the electronic business card processing unit 224 of the social terminal 2 sends the user's own electronic business card information to the code processing unit 226, and the code processing unit 226 sends the electronic business card The information is converted into a code in the form of a barcode or a two-dimensional code, that is, the physical information code 3 corresponding to the user. The user can print the physical information code 3 on his own paper business card, or display it on the display screen of the social terminal 2 through the input and output module 24, so that the user can exchange electronic business cards with others. When the user exchanges business cards with others, the user uses the input and output module 24 of the social terminal 2 to scan the other person's paper business card or the physical information code 3 displayed on the terminal screen (step S21), and the scanned code information is sent to the code processing unit 226 , the electronic business card information in the code is extracted by the code processing unit 226 and sent to the electronic business card processing unit 224 (step S22 ). The electronic business card processing unit 224 instructs the parameter acquisition unit 225 to acquire various parameters at this time. The parameter acquisition unit 225 is connected to functional modules such as GPS or base station positioning module, time and date module not shown in the figure, acquires relevant parameters from the above modules, and provides them to the electronic business card processing unit 224 (step S23 ). For example, the parameter obtaining unit 225 obtains the location information when the electronic business card is scanned from the positioning module, and judges the current specific location (such as: company, home, certain building, etc.) accordingly. Here, when the exact specific location cannot be determined, the parameter acquiring unit 225 may call the electronic map, present possible choices of the location to the user, and let the user select the exact specific location. The electronic business card processing unit 224 sends the information contained in the code recognized by the code processing unit 226 and various parameters acquired by the parameter acquisition unit 225 to the electronic business card management unit 123 of the cloud server 1 to store the electronic business card information and related parameters in the electronic business card. The corresponding position of the data unit 133 (step S24). Each time the user scans the physical information code 3 with the social terminal 2, the system repeats the above operations.

The user can browse the scanned electronic business card information on the social terminal 2. Since various parameters are recorded in each electronic business card, the display of the electronic business card can be classified and retrieved according to parameters such as scanning time and place. For example, a user attended a meeting in a conference center and scanned multiple electronic business cards. Even after a long time, he can find the electronic business cards scanned at that time according to the time period of the meeting or the location of the conference center, which can avoid scanning a large number of electronic business cards. Confusion and forgetting caused by electronic business cards. In this system, the user's address book and electronic business card exist in parallel, and their data have no influence on each other. Usually the contacts in the address book are more closely related to the user, but many contacts in the electronic business card do not need to be added to the address book. It is necessary for the data to be independent of each other. For the convenience of use, the user can add the selected contact on the electronic business card as a contact in the address book through the processing module 22 of the social terminal 2 . The account management unit 121 of the cloud server 1 adds the contact's ID information to the address book association information of the user's account data unit 131, so as to add the electronic business card contact as a contact in the address book.

Registered users of the social information management system of the present invention include not only individuals but also businesses. Merchants can register and edit their own electronic business cards in the system. The information of their electronic business cards includes the field of their geographical location or the location information on the electronic map. Other users can query the location and location of the merchant on the electronic map. contact information, etc. In this way, the system of the present invention not only has the function of social information management, but also has the function of electronic yellow pages.

In this embodiment, both the avatar processing unit 223 and the parameter acquisition unit 225 are set in the social terminal 2 , but not limited thereto, the avatar processing unit and the parameter acquisition unit may also be set in the cloud server 1 . Similarly, under the system architecture of this embodiment, some other functional modules can also choose whether to be set in the social terminal 2 or the cloud server 1 . At the same time, some functional modules can be traded off and replaced. For example, the data storage module 23 of the social terminal 2 can be omitted, and the social terminal 2 directly obtains data from the cloud server 1 through the network when in use.

In this embodiment, the information of the address book and the electronic business card are relatively independently stored, but it is not limited thereto. Usually, some or all of the fields in the address book and the electronic business card are repeated, resulting in a waste of storage space. To avoid this problem, you can use a unified field format to store address book and electronic business card information, and extract the corresponding fields when you need to query information. The address book or electronic business card function can also be stripped from the system to make the system an independent electronic business card management system or address book management system.

In this embodiment, the address books or electronic business card information of registered users and unregistered contacts are stored in the same database, but it is not limited thereto. It is also possible to store address book or electronic business card information of registered users separately from information of unregistered contacts. In step S4, in order to save storage space, this embodiment allows two registered users to associate with the same unregistered contact, which may cause a conflict of rights to modify the contact data. In order to solve this problem, you can only search whether there is a result matching the imported contact in the registered user data and establish an association, and do not retrieve or associate the unregistered contact information. In this way, the problem of modifying permission conflicts can be avoided. On the other hand, a conflict detection mechanism can also be added on the basis of this embodiment, which allows two registered users to associate with the same unregistered contact, and when a registered user modifies the contact information of the contact, the system Assign the modified information to another contact ID, and associate the registered user with the new contact ID. That is, the contact is split into two (before modification and after modification), which are respectively used as contacts associated with two registered users.

In this embodiment, if an unregistered contact with information in the system registers as a new user, the system will not replace the original unregistered contact with the new user. Here, it can also be set as follows: when a new user registers, the system searches the data in the address book data unit 132 and the electronic business card data unit 133 according to its contact information, and if there is a matching unregistered contact, the unregistered contact will be The contact's ID is assigned to the new user, and the user's account information is established in the account data unit 131 .
