Abstract
A method for searching a phone book for desired contacts and a communication terminal using the method are provided. The method includes the steps of: enabling an image acquisition device to capture a present image, calculating a color value of the present image, comparing a reference color value for each contact in the phone book with the color value of the present image, selecting the desired contacts for which the reference color value matches the color value of the present image and displaying the desired contacts.
Claims15
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- enabling an image acquisition device to capture a present image;
- calculating a color value of the present image;
- comparing a reference color value for each contact in a phone book with the color value of the present image;
- selecting one of the desired contacts comprises:
- calculating a difference between the reference color value for the one of the desired contacts and the color value of the present image;
- selecting the one of the desired contacts if the numerical value of the difference is not larger than a predetermined threshold;
- and
- displaying the desired ones of the contacts.
A communication terminal comprising:
- a storage medium for storing a phone book;
- an image acquisition device for capturing images;
- a processor executing a recognition module and a searching module, for searching the phone book for desired contacts;
- and
- a display device for displaying the desired contacts;
- wherein the recognition module is configured for enabling the image acquisition device to capture a present image and calculating a color value of the present image;
- and
- the searching module is configured for comparing a reference color value of each contact in the phone book with the color value of the present image, and selecting the desired contacts for which the reference color value matches the color value of the present image;
- wherein the processor further executes a defining module configured for selecting a choice for adding the reference color value for a selected contact;
- enabling the image acquisition device to capture a reference image;
- calculating a color value of the reference image;
- storing the color value of the reference image into the phone book;
- and defining the color value of the reference image as the reference color value for the selected contact.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a computerized device, cause the computerized device to execute a computer-implemented method comprising:
- enabling an image acquisition device to capture a present image;
- calculating a color value of the present image;
- comparing a reference color value for each contact in a phone book with the color value of the present image;
- calculating a difference between the reference color value for the one of the desired contacts and the color value of the present image;
- selecting the one of the desired contacts if the numerical value of the difference is not larger than a predetermined threshold;
- and
- displaying the desired ones of the contacts.
