To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following further describes the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to
Step 101: Receive a user identifier of a user and a data package that are sent by a terminal, where the data package includes a configuration file and a contact file that is corresponding to a contact group, the configuration file is used to store a correspondence between a group ID of the contact group and a file ID of the contact file, and the contact file corresponding to the contact group is used to store contact information of a contact included in the contact group.
Step 102: Acquire, from the data package, the group ID of the contact group and the file ID of the contact file corresponding to the contact group.
Step 103: Acquire, from the data package according to the file ID of the contact file, the contact information of the contact included in the contact group.
Step 104: Store a correspondence between the user identifier of the user, the group ID of the contact group, and the contact information of the contact included in the contact group.
In this embodiment of the present invention, a user identifier of a user and a data package that are sent by a terminal are received, where the data package includes a configuration file and a contact file that is corresponding to a contact group, the configuration file is used to store a correspondence between a group ID of the contact group and a file ID of the contact file, and the contact file corresponding to the contact group is used to store contact information of a contact included in the contact group; the group ID of the contact group and the file ID of the contact file corresponding to the contact group are acquired from the configuration file in the data package; the contact information of the contact included in the contact group is acquired from the data package according to the file ID of the contact file; and a correspondence between the user identifier of the user, the group ID of the contact group, and the contact information of the contact included in the contact group is stored. In this way, group information of the contact of the user is retained when the contact is imported.
On the basis of the embodiment shown in
Step 201: A terminal acquires a data package, where the data package includes a configuration file and a contact file that is corresponding to a contact group, the configuration file includes a correspondence between a group ID of the contact group and a file ID of the contact file, and the contact file corresponding to the contact group is used to store contact information of a contact included in the contact group.
The contact information of the contact includes at least a contact ID of the contact, and may further include information such as a name and/or a birth date of the contact.
The terminal may generate a data package in advance, and a user selects a data package of a contact needs to be imported and inputs to the terminal.
The terminal may generate the data package according to the following process, which is specifically:
The user classifies corresponding contacts into one or more contact groups. For any one of the contact groups, the terminal stores, in a blank contact file, contact information of a contact included in the contact group, so as to obtain a contact file corresponding to the contact group, and stores, in a configuration file, a correspondence between a group ID of the contact group and a file ID of the contact file corresponding to the contact group. For each of the other contact groups, an operation is performed according to the same process, so as to obtain a contact file separately corresponding to each of the other contact groups; a correspondence between a group ID of each of the other contact groups and a file ID of the contact file corresponding to each of the other contact groups is stored in the configuration file; and then the contact file corresponding to each contact group and the configuration file are packaged into a data package.
The group ID of the contact group may be a name of the contact group, and may also be another identifier that can identify the contact group.
A name of the configuration file included in the data package may be the same as a name of the data package; a format of the configuration file may be an Extensible Markup Language (XML) format, a text (txt) format, or the like.
The file ID of the contact file corresponding to the contact group may be the same as or different from the group ID of the contact group. A format of the contact file may be a versitcard (vCard) format (a file format standard for an electronic business card), a comma separated values (CSV) format, or the like. An extension of the contact file in the vCard format is .vcf, and an extension of the contact file in the CSV format is .CSV. Contact files corresponding to multiple contact groups included in one data package must be in a same format.
Step 202: The terminal sends an import request message to a server, where the import request message carries a user identifier of the user and the data package.
Step 203: The server receives the import request message sent by the terminal, where the import request message carries the user identifier of the user and the data package.
Step 204: The server acquires the configuration file from the data package and acquires, from the configuration file, the group ID of the contact group and the file ID of the contact file corresponding to the contact group.
Specifically, the server acquires the configuration file from the data package according to the name of the data package and/or the extension of the configuration file included in the data package; sets, in the correspondence between the group ID of the contact group and the file ID of the contact file included in the configuration file, a pointer that points to a first record; and acquires, from the record to which the pointer points, the group ID of the contact group and the file ID of the contact file corresponding to the contact group.
If the name of the data package is the same as the name of the configuration file, the configuration file may be directly searched for in the data package according to the name of the data package.
Because the format of the configuration file included in the data package is the XML format or the txt format, a configuration file in the XML format or the txt format may be found in the data package.
Step 205: The server acquires, according to the file ID of the contact file corresponding to the contact group, the contact information of the contact included in the contact group.
Specifically, the server acquires, from the data package according to the file ID of the contact file corresponding to the contact group, the contact file corresponding to the contact group, and acquires, from the contact file corresponding to the contact group, the contact information of the contact included in the contact group.
Step 206: The server stores a correspondence between the user identifier of the user, the group ID of the contact group, and the contact information of the contact included in the contact group.
Specifically, the server stores, in a correspondence between a user identifier, a group ID of a contact group, and contact information, the user identifier of the user, the group ID of the contact group, and the contact information of the contact included in the contact group.
Further, the server determines whether a record to which the pointer points is the last record in the correspondence between the group ID of the contact group and the file ID of the contact file included in the configuration file. If no, the pointer is set to point to a next record, the group ID of the contact group and the file ID of the contact file corresponding to the contact group are read from the record to which the pointer points, and then the process returns to step 205 for execution. If yes, the server completes importing the contact.
Further, after completing importing the contact, the server sends an import success message to the terminal.
Accordingly, the terminal receives the import success message and displays a prompt message “Import succeeded” to the user.
In this embodiment of the present invention, a terminal receives a data package that is input by a user, and then sends a user identifier of the user and the data package to a server; the server acquires, from a configuration file in the data package, a group ID of a contact group corresponding to the user and a file ID of a contact file corresponding to the contact group, acquires, from the data package according to the file ID of the contact file, contact information of a contact included in the contact group, and stores a correspondence between the user identifier of the user, the group ID of the contact group, and the contact information of the contact included in the contact group. In this way, group information of the contact of the user is retained when the contact is imported.
Referring to
Step 301: Receive an export request message sent by a terminal, where the export request message carries a user identifier of a user and a contact export manner.
Step 302: If the contact export manner is a manner of exporting all contacts, acquire a group ID of a corresponding contact group and contact information included in the contact group from a stored correspondence between a user identifier, a group ID of a contact group, and contact information according to the user identifier of the user.
Step 303: Send the group ID of the contact group and the contact information included in the contact group to the terminal.
In this embodiment of the present invention, an export request message sent by a terminal is received, where the export request message carries a user identifier of a user and a contact export manner; if the contact export manner is a manner of exporting all contacts, a group ID of a corresponding contact group and contact information included in the contact group are acquired from a stored correspondence between a user identifier, a group ID of a contact group, and contact information according to the user identifier of the user; and the group ID of the contact group and the contact information included in the contact group are sent to the terminal. A contact group to which a contact who needs to be exported belongs is acquired when the contact is exported. In this way, group information of the contact is retained when the contact is exported.
On the basis of the embodiment shown in
Step 401: A terminal acquires a contact export manner, and performs step 402 if the contact export manner is a manner of exporting one or more contacts.
Specifically, if the user inputs a contact export manner, the terminal receives the contact export manner that is input by the user; if the user does not input a contact export manner, a preset contact export manner is acquired and the preset contact export manner is a manner of exporting all contacts. It is assumed that in this embodiment, the terminal receives the contact export manner that is input by the user, and the contact export manner that is input by the user is the manner of exporting one or more contacts.

Step 404: The server performs determining on the contact export manner, and if it is determined that the contact export manner is the manner of exporting one or more contacts, performs step 405.
Step 405: The server acquires, according to the user identifier of the user and the contact ID of the contact who needs to be exported, a group ID of a contact group to which the contact who needs to be exported belongs and contact information of the contact who needs to be exported.
Specifically, the server acquires, from a stored correspondence between a user identifier, a group ID of a contact group, and contact information according to the user identifier of the user and the contact ID of the contact who needs to be exported, contact information that includes the contact ID of the contact who needs to be exported, and the group ID of the contact group to which the contact who needs to be exported belongs, where the contact information that includes the contact ID of the contact who needs to be exported is the contact information of the contact who needs to be exported.
Step 406: The server creates a contact file for the contact group to which the contact who needs to be exported belongs, where the contact file is used to store contact information of a contact included in the contact group.
Specifically, the server acquires a file format; creates a blank contact file for the contact group to which the contact who needs to be exported belongs, where a format of the contact file is the acquired file format; and stores, in the contact file, the contact information of the contact included in the contact group, so as to obtain a contact file corresponding to the contact group.
The acquiring a file format may specifically be: if the export request message carries a file format, the carried file format is acquired from the export request message; if the export request message does not carry a file format, a preset file format is acquired.
The preset file format may be a CSV format or a vCard format.
If multiple contacts need to be exported and the multiple contacts belong to different contact groups, a contact file corresponding to each contact group is created according to the foregoing step 406.
Step 407: The server stores, in a blank configuration file, a correspondence between the group ID of the contact group and a file ID of the contact file corresponding to the contact group.
A format of the configuration file may be a txt format, an XML format, or the like.
Step 408: The server packages the configuration file and the created contact file into a data package and sends an export response message to the terminal, where the export response message carries the data package.
Further, if the export request message carries a data package name, the server names the packaged data package the data package name that is carried in the export request message; if the export request message does not carry a data package name, the server acquires a preset data package name and names the packaged data package the preset data package name.
Further, the terminal receives the data package sent by the server. If the user inputs a storage path, the data package is stored according to the storage path that is input by the user; if the user does not input a storage path, the data package is stored according to a preset storage path, and a prompt message “Export succeeded” is displayed to the user.
If one contact needs to be exported or multiple contacts who need to be exported belong to a same contact group, a contact file corresponding to the contact group is created. In this case, the server may directly send the contact file corresponding to the contact group to the terminal.
In this embodiment of the present invention, after receiving an export request message sent by a terminal, a server acquires, according to a user identifier of a user and a contact ID of a contact who needs to be exported that are carried in the export request message, a group ID of a contact group to which the contact who needs to be exported belongs and contact information of the contact who needs to be exported; stores, in a contact file, contact information of a contact included in the contact group, so as to obtain a contact file corresponding to the contact group; stores, in a configuration file, a correspondence between the group ID of the contact group and a file ID of the contact file corresponding to the contact group; and packages the configuration file and the contact file into a data package and sends the data package to the terminal, thereby retaining group information of the contact.

Further, if the export request message carries a data package name, the server names the packaged data package the data package name that is carried in the export request message; if the export request message does not carry a data package name, the server acquires a preset data package name and names the packaged data package the preset data package name.
Further, the terminal receives the data package sent by the server. If the user inputs a storage path, the data package is stored according to the storage path that is input by the user; if the user does not input a storage path, the data package is stored according to a preset storage path, and a prompt message “Export succeeded” is displayed to the user.
In this embodiment of the present invention, after receiving an export request message sent by a terminal, a server acquires, from a stored correspondence between a user identifier, a group ID of a contact group, and contact information according to a user identifier of a user carried in the export request message, a group ID of a contact group corresponding to the user and contact information of a contact included in the contact group; stores, in a blank configuration file, a correspondence between the group ID of the contact group and a file ID of a contact file corresponding to the contact group; and packages the configuration file and the contact file into a data package and sends the data package to the terminal, thereby retaining group information of the contact.
