Abstract

A method for processing contact information includes setting a contact information list on a display; selecting a piece of contact information from the contact information list; binding the selected contact information to a specific area of the display; obtaining service information corresponding to the contact information, and displaying the service information on the specific area of the display.

Claims

1. A method for processing contact information, the method comprising:

setting a contact list on a display;

selecting a contact from the contact list;

binding the selected contact to an area of the display;

obtaining service information corresponding to the contact; and

displaying the service information on the specific area of the display.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the selected contact comprises at least one contact.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the contact comprises a mobile communication number and at least one additional contact that corresponding to the mobile communication number, the addition of an instant communication number, a web log address, an Email address, and/or an online shop address.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the step of obtaining the service information corresponding to the contact and displaying the service information on the specific area of the display comprises:

receiving short message service (SMS) information or multimedia message service (MMS) information;

matching a wireless terminal identifier of a sender carried in the SMS information or the MMS information with the mobile communication number; and

displaying the SMS information or the MMS information on the specific area of the display if the matching succeeds.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein the step of obtaining the service information corresponding to the contact and displaying the service information on the specific area of the display comprises:

receiving Email information, matching an Email identifier of a sender carried in the Email information with the Email address information, and

displaying the Email information on the specific area of the display if the matching succeeds.

6. The method of claim 3, wherein the step of obtaining the service information corresponding to the contact and displaying the service information on the specific area of the display comprises:

obtaining dynamically updated information corresponding to the instant communication number, the web log address, and the online shop address; and

displaying the dynamically updated information on the specific area of the display.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the step of obtaining the dynamically updated information corresponding to the instant communication number, the web log address, and the online shop address comprises:

logging in to a website corresponding to the instant communication number, the web log address, and the online shop address periodically, and obtaining the dynamically updated information corresponding to the instant communication number, the web log address, and the online shop address.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein setting the contact list, selecting the contact, binding the selected contact, obtaining the service information, and displaying the service information are all done on a wireless terminal.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the contact comprises a mobile communication number.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the contact comprises an instant communication number.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the contact comprises a web log address.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the contact comprises an Email address.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the contact comprises an online shop address.

14. A wireless terminal, comprising:

a setting module, configured to set a contact list on a display;

a selecting module, configured to select a contact from the contact list set by the setting module;

a binding module, configured to bind the contact selected by the selecting module to a specific area of the display;

an obtaining module, configured to obtain service information corresponding to the contact bound by the binding module; and

a displaying module, configured to display the service information obtained by the obtaining module on the specific area of the display.

15. The wireless terminal of claim 14, further comprising a storing module, configured to store the contact, wherein the contact comprises a mobile communication number and at least one of an instant communication number, a web log address, an Email address, and an online shop address corresponding to the mobile communication number.

16.
