The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

Optionally, in the second case, the target application information may be one application information or may be multiple application information. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

Optionally, for the second case, the number of the target application information is different, and the input form of the second input may also be different.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the second input may include two forms, i.e., a form one and a form two, according to the amount of the target application information. The two forms (form one and form two) are described below as examples.

The first form: the number of the target application information is one, and the second input may be a direct input of the target application information by the user.

Optionally, for the first form, the second input may be a single-click input, a double-click input, a long-press input or a re-press input of the target application information by the user. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

The second form: the number of the target application information is at least two (i.e., a plurality), and the second input may include a first sub-input and a second sub-input.

The first sub-input may be a selection input of the user for at least two pieces of target application information, and the second sub-input may be an input of the user for a control (e.g., a "determination" control, a "completion" control, etc.) in the electronic device for determining that the application information selected by the user through the first sub-input is the target application information.

Of course, in actual implementation, the form of the second input may also be any other possible form, which may be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the number of the target application information is at least two, the step S204 may be specifically implemented by the step S204a described below.

And S204a, the electronic device responds to the second input, and shares the target information with the contact indicated by the target contact information through each of the at least two applications.

The at least two applications may be applications indicated by the at least two pieces of target application information.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the number of the target application information is at least two, the user may trigger the electronic device to share the target information with the contact person indicated by the target contact person information through the applications indicated by the at least two pieces of target application information (i.e., the at least two applications). Therefore, the efficiency of sharing information by the electronic equipment can be improved.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the at least two pieces of target application information may be different pieces of application information corresponding to the same contact information, may also be the same piece of application information corresponding to different pieces of contact information, and may also be different pieces of application information corresponding to different pieces of contact information. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

It can be understood that when the at least two pieces of target application information are different application information corresponding to the same contact person information, the target contact person information may be one piece of contact person information; when the at least two pieces of target application information are the same (or different) application information corresponding to different pieces of contact information, the target contact information may include at least two pieces of contact information.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic device can share the target information with the contact person indicated by the target contact person information through each of the at least two applications at a time, so that the user can trigger the electronic device to share the information with the contact person indicated by the contact person information through a plurality of applications at a time, or trigger the electronic device to share the information with the contact person indicated by the contact person information through one (or more) applications, and thus, the user can operate the electronic device more conveniently, and the information sharing efficiency of the electronic device is improved.

The following describes the above-mentioned steps S201 to S204 with reference to fig. 3.

For example, it is assumed that the first input is a click input of a user to the sharing control, the second input is target application information corresponding to target contact information by the user, the target information is information currently displayed by the electronic device, the M pieces of contact information are 4 pieces of contact information (i.e., M is 4), and the four pieces of contact information are contact information "zhangsan", contact information "liquan", contact information "wangwu", and contact information "magming", respectively; the contact information Zhang III corresponds to application information (application information application 1), the contact information Liqu corresponds to two pieces of application information (application information application 1 and application information application 2), the contact information Wangwu corresponds to one piece of application information (application information application 1), and the contact information Daming corresponds to two pieces of application information (application information application 2 and application information application 3); and the target application information is application information 'application 2' corresponding to the contact person information 'Liquan'. Then, as shown in (a) of fig. 3, the user clicks the sharingcontrol 31 displayed by the electronic device (i.e., a first input), and the electronic device may display the 4 pieces of contact information and the application information corresponding to the 4 pieces of contact information as shown in (b) of fig. 3 in response to the first input. Then, when the user clicks an application information "app 2" corresponding to the contact information "lie four" shown in (b) of fig. 3 (i.e., a second input), the electronic device may share the information as shown in (a) of fig. 3 to the contact indicated by the contact information "lie four" through the application "app 2" in response to the second input.

The embodiment of the invention provides an information control method, and when a user wants to share information with a certain contact person, the user can trigger electronic equipment to display at least one piece of contact person information through input aiming at the information, and then the user can directly trigger the electronic equipment to share the information with the contact person through application associated with the contact person information through input of the contact person information indicating the contact person or application information corresponding to the contact person information. Therefore, steps executed by the electronic equipment when the user shares the information through the electronic equipment can be reduced, the electronic equipment can share the information quickly, and the information sharing efficiency of the electronic equipment can be improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the M pieces of contact information may be contact information in the first application, and before the electronic device receives the first input for the target information, the user may first trigger the electronic device to associate the contact information in the first application with another application (for example, the target application) in the electronic device, that is, to associate the contact information in the first application with the contact information in the target application in the electronic device. In this way, when the contact information in the M pieces of contact information is associated with the contact information in the target application, after the electronic device displays the M pieces of contact information, the user may trigger the electronic device to share the target information with the contact indicated by the target contact information through the target application by inputting the target contact information in the M pieces of contact information through the second input or the input of the application information corresponding to the target contact information.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the first application may be an application that can store contact information in an electronic device.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first application may be a social application, a shopping application, and a financing application. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the target application may also be an application that can store contact information in the electronic device. The target application and the first application can be different applications.

For example, the first application may be an application "address book", and the target application may be an application "social 1".

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, two ways for the user to trigger the electronic device to associate the contact information in the first application with the contact information in the target application may be included, which are a way one and a way two, and the two ways are exemplarily described below.

The first method is as follows: the user may trigger the electronic device to associate the contact information in the first application with the contact information in the target application by an input (e.g., a third input in an embodiment of the present invention) to the icon indicating the first application and the icon indicating the target application.

For example, in conjunction with fig. 2, as shown in fig. 4, before S201, the information control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S205 and S206 described below.

S205, the electronic equipment receives a third input of the user for the first icon and the second icon.

The first icon may be used to indicate the target application, and the second icon may be used to indicate the first application.

S206, the electronic equipment responds to the third input, and the contact information in the first application and the contact information in the target application are associated.

In this embodiment of the present invention, before the electronic device receives the first input, the user may trigger the electronic device to associate the contact information in the first application with the contact information in the target application through a third input for the first icon indicating the target application and the second icon indicating the first application. Therefore, the electronic device can directly call the target application through the contact information of the first application, and particularly, the electronic device can directly call the contact information associated with the contact information in the first application in the target application through the contact information in the first application.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, before the electronic device receives a third input of the user for the first icon and the second icon, the user may first trigger the electronic device to enter an association preparation state, and then the user may trigger the electronic device to associate the contact information in the first application and the contact information in the target application through the third input for the first icon and the second icon.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, after the electronic device enters the association ready state, the first icon and the second icon may be in a shaking state.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the third input may be an input that the user drags the first icon to the second icon, an input that the user drags the second icon to the first icon, or an input that the user clicks the first icon first within a preset time period and then clicks the second icon.

Of course, in actual implementation, the third input may also be any other possible input, which may be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

For example, it is assumed that the first icon is an icon "social 1", the second icon is an icon "address book", and the third input is an input of the user dragging the first icon onto the second icon. Then, as shown in fig. 5, when the user drags the icon "social 1" 41 to the icon "address book" 42 (i.e., the electronic device receives the third input), the electronic device may associate, in response to the input, the contact information in the application indicated by the icon "social 1" (i.e., the target application) and the contact information in the application indicated by the icon "address book" (i.e., the first application).

In the embodiment of the present invention, for the description related to associating the contact information in the first application with the contact information in the target application, reference may be specifically made to the detailed description related to associating the contact information in the first application with the contact information in the target application in the following embodiments, and details are not repeated here to avoid repetition.

The second method comprises the following steps: the user can trigger the electronic device to display an object indicating the application in the electronic device through input of the association control in the first application, and then the user can trigger the electronic device to associate the contact information in the first application with the contact information in the target application through input of the object indicating the target application.

For example, with reference to fig. 2, as shown in fig. 6, before S201, the information control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S207 to S210 described below.

S207, the electronic equipment receives fourth input of the user to the associated control in the first application.

And S208, the electronic equipment responds to the fourth input and displays at least one object.

Wherein each of the at least one object may be used to indicate an application in the electronic device.

S209, the electronic equipment receives a fifth input of the first object by the user.

The first object may be an object of the at least one object, and the first object may be used to indicate the target application, and the target application may be different from the first application.

S210, the electronic equipment responds to the fifth input, and the contact information in the first application and the contact information in the target application are associated.

In this embodiment of the present invention, before the electronic device receives the first input, a user may trigger the electronic device to display the at least one object through a fourth input to the association control in the first application, and then the user may trigger the electronic device to associate the contact information in the first application with the contact information in the target application through a fifth input to the first object. Therefore, the electronic device can directly call the target application through the contact information in the first application, and particularly, the electronic device can directly call the contact information associated with the contact information in the first application in the target application through the contact information in the first application.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the fourth input may be a single-click input, a double-click input, a long-press input, or a re-press input of the user on the associated control, which may be determined specifically according to an actual use requirement, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the application indicated by the at least one object may include all applications in the electronic device, may also include an application capable of saving the contact information in the electronic device, and may also include an application, other than the first application, in the application capable of saving the contact information in the electronic device. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

In the embodiment of the present invention, one object (any one of the at least one object) may be an information field of an application program indicated by the object, may be an icon of an application indicated by the object, and may be a control related to the application indicated by the object. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the fifth input may be a single-click input, a double-click input, a long-press input, or a re-press input of the first object by the user, which may be determined specifically according to an actual use requirement, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

For example, it is assumed that the number of the at least one object is 3, the 3 objects are an object "app a", an object "app B", and an object "app C", respectively, the first object is an object "app B", the fourth input is a single-click input of the user on the associated control, and the fifth input is a long-press input of the user on the first object. Then, when the user clicks the association control "association" 51 shown in fig. 7 (i.e., the electronic device receives the fourth input), the electronic device may display at least one object as shown in (b) of fig. 7 in response to the input. Then, when the user holds down the object "application B" 52 shown in (B) of fig. 7 (i.e., the electronic device receives a fifth input), the electronic device may associate the contact information in the first application with the contact information in the application indicated by the object "application B" 52 (i.e., the target application) in response to the input.

It is to be understood that, the embodiment of the present invention is only exemplified in the first way and the second way, and the way of the electronic device to associate the first application and the target application is exemplarily described, which does not set any limit to the present application. In practical implementation, the manner in which the electronic device associates the first application with the target application may further include any other possible manner, which may be determined according to practical use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, specifically, the associating, by the electronic device, the contact information in the first application and the contact information in the target application may be: the electronic device associates the contact information in the first application with the contact information in the target application indicating the contact information of the same contact.

For example, in conjunction with fig. 6, as shown in fig. 8, S210 may be specifically implemented by S210a described below.

S210a, the electronic device, in response to the fifth input, associates the first contact information and the second contact information.

The first contact information may be contact information in the first application, the second contact information may be contact information in the target application, and the first contact information and the second contact information may indicate the same contact.

In an embodiment of the present invention, after the electronic device receives the fifth input, the electronic device may associate the first contact information with the second contact information in response to the fifth input.

In the embodiment of the present invention, before the electronic device associates the first contact information and the second contact information, the electronic device may determine the first contact information and the second contact information.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic device can determine whether the contact person indicated by the contact person information in the first application and the contact person indicated by the contact person information in the target application are the same contact person through the first target information.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first target information may include at least one of the following: telephone number, mailbox, nickname of contact person, account number and remark information.

Of course, in actual implementation, the first target information may also be any other possible information, which may be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may determine the first contact information and the second contact information according to priorities of a phone number, a mailbox, and/or an account, remark information, and/or a nickname.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the priority of the phone number is higher than the priority of the mailbox and/or the account, and the priority of the mailbox and/or the account is higher than the priority of the remark information and/or the nickname.

For example, when the phone number of a certain piece of contact information in the first application is consistent with the phone number of a certain piece of contact information in the target application, the electronic device may determine that the certain piece of contact information in the first application is the first piece of contact information and determine that the certain piece of contact information in the target application is the second piece of contact information. As such, the electronic device may associate the two contact information.

For example, when the phone number of the contact information in the first application is different from the phone number of the contact information in the target application, the electronic device may determine whether the mailbox and/or the account of the contact information in the first application has contact information consistent with the mailbox and/or the account of the contact information in the target application. If the mailbox and/or the account of a certain contact information in the first application is consistent with the mailbox and/or the account of a certain contact information in the target application, the electronic device may determine that the contact information in the first application is the first contact information, and determine that the contact information in the target application is the second contact information. As such, the electronic device may associate the two contact information.

For another example, when the mailbox and/or the account of the contact information in the first application is different from the mailbox and/or the account of the contact information in the target application, the electronic device may determine whether the remark information and/or the nickname of the contact information in the first application are consistent with the remark information and/or the nickname of the contact information in the target application. If the remark information and/or the nickname of a certain piece of contact information in the first application is consistent with the remark information and/or the nickname of a certain piece of contact information in the target application, the electronic device may determine that the contact information in the first application is the first contact information, and determine that the contact information in the target application is the second contact information. As such, the electronic device may associate the two contact information.

In the embodiment of the invention, as the first contact information and the second contact information indicate the same contact, the electronic equipment can associate the first contact information and the second contact information, so that the electronic equipment can accurately and reliably associate the contact information in the first application with the contact information in the target application.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, since the electronic device may not be able to associate all the contact information indicating the same contact in the first application and the target application, after the electronic device associates the contact information in the first application with the contact information in the target application, the electronic device may display the contact information that is not associated in the first application (for example, at least one third contact information in this embodiment of the present invention) and the contact information that is not associated in the target application (for example, at least one fourth contact information in this embodiment of the present invention), so that the user may manually trigger the electronic device to associate the contact information in these contact information according to the user's needs, and thus it may be ensured that the contact information indicating the same contact in the first application and the target application are both associated.

For example, in conjunction with fig. 6, as shown in fig. 9, after S210, the information control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S211 to S213 described below.

And S211, the electronic equipment displays at least one third contact information and at least one fourth contact information.

The at least one third contact information may be contact information in the first application, the at least one fourth contact information may be contact information in the target application, and the at least one third contact information and the at least one fourth contact information are contact information that is not associated.

S212, the electronic device receives a sixth input of the fifth contact information and the sixth contact information from the user.

The fifth contact information may be information in the at least one third contact information, and the sixth contact information may be information in the at least one fourth contact information.

And S213, the electronic equipment responds to the sixth input, and associates the fifth contact information with the sixth contact information.

In this embodiment of the present invention, after the electronic device associates the contact information in the first application with the contact information in the target application, the electronic device may display the contact information that is not associated in the first application (i.e., the at least one third contact information) and the contact information that is not associated in the target application (i.e., the at least one fourth contact information). If the user determines that certain contact information in the at least one third contact information (i.e., the fifth contact information) and certain contact information in the at least one fourth contact information (i.e., the sixth contact information) indicate the same contact, the user may trigger the electronic device to associate the fifth contact information and the sixth contact information through a sixth input of the fifth contact information and the sixth contact information. In this way, the electronic device can be made more flexible in the way of associating the contact information in the first application with the contact information in the target application.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may display the at least one third contact information in one area of a screen of the electronic device, and display the at least one fourth contact information in another area of the screen of the electronic device, so that the contact information that is not associated in the first application and the target application may be clearly shown to the user.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the sixth input may include a third sub input and a fourth sub input. The third sub-input may be a selection input of the user on the fifth contact information and the sixth contact information, and the fourth sub-input may be an input of the user on an associated button in the electronic device.

Of course, in actual implementation, the form of the sixth input may also be any other possible form, which may be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

The following describes the above-mentioned steps S211 to S213 by way of example with reference to fig. 10.

For example, it is assumed that the number of the at least one third contact information is 3, which are respectively contact information "AAA", contact information "BBB", and contact information "CCC", and the number of the at least one fourth contact information is 5, which are respectively contact information "AAA", contact information "BBB", contact information "CCC", contact information "ddd", and contact information "eee"; and the at least one third contact information is displayed in one area of the screen of the electronic device, and the at least one fourth contact information is displayed in another area of the screen of the electronic device. Then, after the electronic device associates the contact information in the first application with the contact information in the target application, as shown in fig. 10, the electronic device may display 3 pieces of contact information (i.e., contact information "AAA", contact information "BBB", and contact information "CCC") in onearea 61 of a screen of the electronic device, and 5 pieces of contact information (i.e., contact information "AAA", contact information "BBB", contact information "CCC", contact information "ddd", and contact information "eee") in anotherarea 62 of the screen of the electronic device. If the user determines that the contact information "AAA" and the contact information "bbb" indicate the same contact, the user may trigger the electronic device to associate the contact information "AAA" and the contact information "bbb" through a sixth input of the contact information "AAA" and the contact information "bbb".

In the embodiment of the present invention, since the user can trigger the electronic device to associate the fifth contact information with the sixth contact information by sixth input of the fifth contact information and the sixth contact information, it can be ensured that the electronic device associates all the contact information indicating the same contact in the first application and the target application, and thus the integrity of the electronic device associating the contact information in the first application and the target application can be improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, after the electronic device associates the contact information in the first application with the contact information in the target application, the electronic device may display a prompt message (for example, the first prompt message in this embodiment of the present invention) to prompt the user that the contact information in the first application and the contact information in the target application are associated. In this manner, the user may trigger the electronic device to perform other operations.

For example, with reference to fig. 6, as shown in fig. 11, after S210, the information control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S214 described below.

S214, the electronic equipment displays first prompt information, and the first prompt information is used for indicating that the contact information in the first application is associated with the contact information in the target application.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first prompt information may be any possible prompt information, such as a prompt information "association is completed", and a prompt information "contact information in the associated first application and contact information in the target application" and the like. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

In the embodiment of the invention, the electronic device can prompt the user to complete the association between the contact information in the first application and the contact information in the target application through the first prompt message so as to prompt the user to trigger the electronic device to execute other operations, thereby improving the man-machine interaction performance of the electronic device.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may display, in the first interface, the M pieces of contact information and at least one piece of application information corresponding to each piece of contact information.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first interface may include a first area and a second area, so that the electronic device may display the M pieces of contact information and at least one piece of application information corresponding to each piece of contact information in the first area, and display other pieces of contact information (which may indicate a contact of the electronic device that has shared information) and application information corresponding to the pieces of contact information in the second area, so that the user may quickly find the pieces of contact information and the application information corresponding to the pieces of contact information, and thus, the user may operate the electronic device more conveniently.

For example, in conjunction with fig. 2, as shown in fig. 12, after S201, the information control method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S215 described below. Specifically, S202 may be implemented as S202a described below.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the following steps of "displaying M pieces of contact information and at least one piece of application information corresponding to each piece of contact information in the first area" in S202a and "displaying, by the electronic device, seventh piece of contact information and at least one piece of application information corresponding to the seventh piece of contact information in the second area" in S215 may be steps performed by the electronic device in response to a first input ", and in order to clearly illustrate the relationship between the steps, only" the electronic device responds to the first input "is illustrated in S202a in the above-described fig. 12.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the execution order of S202a and S215 may not be limited. Specifically, S202a may be executed first, and then S215 may be executed; s215 may be executed first, and then S202a may be executed; s202a and S215 may also be performed simultaneously. The embodiment of the present invention is exemplarily illustrated by first performing S202a and then performing S215.

S202a, the electronic device responds to the first input, and displays M pieces of contact information and at least one piece of application information corresponding to each piece of contact information in a first area.

S215, the electronic device displays the seventh contact information and at least one piece of application information corresponding to the seventh contact information in the second area.

The seventh contact information may be used to indicate a contact of the electronic device that has shared information.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the electronic device does not share information with any contact, the second area may not display any contact information, or the first interface may not display the second area.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the at least one piece of application information corresponding to the seventh contact information may be understood as: the electronic device shares information with the contact person indicated by the seventh contact person information through the application indicated by the at least one piece of application information.

For example, assuming that the electronic device shares information with a contact indicated by the contact information "little rabbit" through the application a, the electronic device may display the contact information "little rabbit" in the second area, and display application information indicating the application a.

In the embodiment of the present invention, since the probability that the user wants to share information with the contacts of which the information is already shared by the electronic device is relatively high, after the electronic device receives the first input, the electronic device may display the contact information (i.e., the seventh contact information) indicating the contacts in an independent area (i.e., the second area), so that the user can quickly find the contact information and the application information corresponding to the contact information, and thus, the user can operate the electronic device more conveniently.
