Contact searching method and apparatus, and applied mobile terminal
First Claim
1. A method of facilitating combinational searching in a mobile terminal for a contact label, the method comprising:
- performing a listing of a first sequence of graphemes on a display of the mobile terminal;
receiving a first input;
performing a selection of a first grapheme from the first sequence of graphemes in response to the first input, the first sequence of graphemes being associated with a first unit of characters relating to a plurality of contact labels, each of the contact labels comprising at least two characters, and each of the at least two characters being represented by at least one grapheme;
performing, on the display of the mobile terminal, a first display of a first set of contact labels being searched within the plurality of contact labels, if each of the first set of contact labels comprising a grapheme matching the first grapheme;
performing a listing of a second sequence of graphemes on the display, wherein the first sequence of graphemes is listed at a first position of the display, the second sequence of graphemes is listed at a second position of the display, and the first sequence of graphemes is hidden when the second sequence of graphemes is listed;
receiving a second input;
performing a selection of a second grapheme from the second sequence of graphemes in response to the second input, the second sequence of graphemes being associated with a second unit of characters relating to the plurality of contact labels; and
performing, on the display of the mobile terminal, an updated display of the first display, the updated display relating to a second set of contact labels being searched within the first set of contact labels, if each of the second set of contact labels comprising a grapheme matching the second grapheme.

Abstract
The present invention provides a contact searching method, including: receiving first input of a user; selecting a first grapheme from a first graphemes sequence according to the first input, the first graphemes sequence being displayed on a display; where the first graphemes sequence is associated with an initial unit of characters in multiple contact labels; receiving second input of the user; selecting a second grapheme from a second graphemes sequence according to the second input, the second graphemes sequence being displayed on the display, and the second graphemes sequence being associated with a secondary unit of characters in the multiple contact labels; where each of the contact labels comprises at least two units of characters, and a unit character is formed or represented by at least one grapheme; and searching for and displaying a contact label on the display, where contact label is matched with the first grapheme and the second grapheme.
