Abstract

Methods, devices, and systems for processing contact information are provided. A request for generating virtual contact information can be received from a terminal. According to the request for generating virtual contact information, real contact information that is preset can be obtained. According to the real contact information, the virtual contact information can be generated. The virtual contact information can be sent to the terminal for a user to use.

Claims

1. A method for processing contact information, comprising:

receiving a request for generating virtual contact information sent from a terminal;

obtaining real contact information that is preset, according to the request for generating virtual contact information;

generating the virtual contact information according to the real contact information; and

sending the virtual contact information to the terminal for a user to use.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

receiving the virtual contact information sent from the terminal;

converting the virtual contact information into the real contact information using a preset analytical algorithm; and

sending the real contact information to the terminal.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein, before receiving the request for generating virtual contact information, the method further includes:

receiving the real contact information sent from the terminal; and

storing the real contact information.

4. The method according to the claim 2, wherein generating the virtual contact information according to the real contact information includes:

generating temporary virtual contact information according to the real contact information;

or

generating fixed virtual contact information according to the real contact information.

5. The method according to claim 2, wherein the request for generating virtual contact information contains identity verification information, and wherein obtaining the real contact information includes:

obtaining the real contact information according to the request for generating virtual contact information, when a valid identity of the user is determined according to the identity verification information.

6. A device for processing contact information, comprising:

a receiving unit, configured to receive a request for generating virtual contact information sent from a terminal;

an obtaining unit, configured to obtain real contact information that is preset, according to the request for generating virtual contact information;

a generating unit, configured to generate the virtual contact information according to the real contact information; and

a sending unit, configured to send the virtual contact information to the terminal for a user to use.

7. The device according to claim 6, further including a converting unit, wherein the receiving unit is further configured to receive the virtual contact information from the terminal;

and the converting unit is configured to convert the virtual contact information into the real contact information using a preset analytical algorithm.

8. The device according to claim 7, further including a storing unit, wherein the receiving unit is further configured to receive the real contact information from the terminal, and the storing unit is configured to store the real contact information.

9. The device according to claim 7, wherein the generating unit is configured to generate temporary virtual contact information or generate fixed virtual contact information, according to the real contact information.

10. The device according to the claim 7, wherein the request for generating virtual contact information contains identity verification information;

wherein the obtaining unit is configured to obtain the real contact information according to the request for generating virtual contact information, when a valid identity of the user is determined according to the identity verification information; and

wherein the sending unit is configured to send the real contact information to the terminal.

11. A communication system comprising the device according to claim 6.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer program for, when being executed by a processor, performing a method for processing contact information, the method comprising:

receiving a request for generating virtual contact information sent from a terminal;

obtaining real contact information that is preset, according to the request for generating virtual contact information;

generating the virtual contact information according to the real contact information; and

sending the virtual contact information to the terminal for a user to use.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 12, the method further comprising:

receiving the virtual contact information sent from the terminal;

converting the virtual contact information into the real contact information using a preset analytical algorithm; and

sending the real contact information to the terminal.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 13, wherein, before receiving the request for generating virtual contact information, the method further includes:

receiving the real contact information sent from the terminal; and

storing the real contact information.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to the claim 13, wherein generating the virtual contact information according to the real contact information includes:

generating temporary virtual contact information according to the real contact information;

or

generating fixed virtual contact information according to the real contact information.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium according to claim 13, wherein the request for generating virtual contact information contains identity verification information, and wherein obtaining the real contact information includes:

obtaining the real contact information according to the request for generating virtual contact information, when a valid identity of the user is determined according to the identity verification information.
