Abstract

A communication display method and a terminal are disclosed, and the method includes: when detecting that a terminal user is communicating with a contact, a central processor module retrieving communication statistics information of the terminal user with the contact in a program storage module and sending it to a user interface management module; the user interface management module displaying the communications statistics information after receiving it; after the communication between the terminal user and the contact ends, the central processor module updating and storing the communications statistics information in the program storage module. The abovementioned technical solution makes it convenient for the user to accurately learn the communications statistics information with the contact, which is favorable for the user making judgment and action on the current communication.

Claims

1. A terminal communication display method, wherein, the method comprises:

when detecting that a terminal user is communicating with a contact, a central processor module retrieving communication statistics information of the terminal user with the contact in a program storage module and sending the communication statistics information to a user interface management module;

the user interface management module displaying the communication statistics information after receiving the communication statistics information;

after the communication of the terminal user with the contact ends, the central processor module updating and storing the communication statistics information into the program storage module.

2. The terminal communication display method of claim 1, wherein, the step of the central processor module detecting that the terminal user is communicating with the contact comprises:

the central processor module detecting that the terminal user is in a call with the contact;

or

the central processor module detecting that the terminal user is sending/receiving messages to/from the contact.

3. The terminal communication display method of claim 1, wherein, the communication statistics information comprises:

last communication information of the terminal user with the contact;

communication ranking information of the terminal user with the contact; and

/or,

contact frequency information of the terminal user with the contact.

4. The terminal communication display method of claim 1, wherein, the step of the user interface management module displaying the communication statistics information after receiving the communication statistics information comprises:

after receiving the communication statistics information, the user interface management module displaying the communication statistics information before the call is connected, while no longer displaying the communication statistics information after the call is connected;

after receiving the communication statistics information, the user interface management module keeping on displaying the communication statistics information before as well as after the call is connected, and no longer displaying the communication statistics information after the call ends;

or

after receiving the communication statistics information, the user interface management module displaying the communication statistics information when receiving or sending messages.

5. The terminal communication display method of claim 1, wherein, the step of the central processor module updating the communication statistics information comprises:

the central processor obtaining current communication information with the contact;

the central processor updating the communication statistics information according to the current communication information.

6. The communication display method of claim 3, wherein, the method further comprises:

the central processor sending a contact reminder notification to the user interface management module when the contact frequency in the contact frequency information is less than a preset contact frequency threshold;

after receiving the contact reminder notification, the user interface management module displaying the contact reminder message on a screen of the terminal.

11. The terminal communication display method of claim 2, wherein, the communication statistics information comprises:

last communication information of the terminal user with the contact;

communication ranking information of the terminal user with the contact; and

/or,

contact frequency information of the terminal user with the contact.

12. The terminal communication display method of claim 2, wherein, the step of the user interface management module displaying the communication statistics information after receiving the communication statistics information comprises:

after receiving the communication statistics information, the user interface management module displaying the communication statistics information before the call is connected, while no longer displaying the communication statistics information after the call is connected;

after receiving the communication statistics information, the user interface management module keeping on displaying the communication statistics information before as well as after the call is connected, and no longer displaying the communication statistics information after the call ends;

or

after receiving the communication statistics information, the user interface management module displaying the communication statistics information when receiving or sending messages.

13. The terminal communication display method of claim 2, wherein, the step of the central processor module updating the communication statistics information comprises:

the central processor obtaining current communication information with the contact;

the central processor updating the communication statistics information according to the current communication information.

7. A communication display terminal, wherein, the terminal comprises:

keep on displaying the communication statistics information before and after the call is connected, and no longer display the communication statistics information after the call ends;

or,

display the communication statistics information when receiving or sending messages.

10. The communication display terminal of claim 7, wherein,

the central processor module is further configured to:

collect current communication information with the contact, and update the communication statistics information according to the current communication information.

14. The communication display terminal of claim 8, wherein, the user interface management module is further configured to:

after receiving the communication statistics information, display the communication statistics information before the call is connected, and no longer display the communication statistics information after the call is connected;

keep on displaying the communication statistics information before and after the call is connected, and no longer display the communication statistics information after the call ends;

or,

display the communication statistics information when receiving or sending messages.

15. The communication display terminal of claim 8, wherein,

the central processor module is further configured to:

collect current communication information with the contact, and update the communication statistics information according to the current communication information.
