An account adding method is performed by a social networking application running at a mobile terminal when communicating with a second terminal (e.g., using a chat session). The method includes: recording voice information from the second terminal using the social networking application; extracting character string information and voiceprint information from the voice information; sending the character string information and the voiceprint information to a server; receiving an account that matches the character string information and the voiceprint information and that is sent by the server; and adding the account to a contact list of the social networking application. For example, the social networking application is started before starting a telephone call with the second terminal and the voice information is recorded during the telephone call.

A system for managing a conference call, the system comprising a call answering server configured to receive a call from an attendee device that has been forwarded from a host device, identify a conference call associated with the host device for the attendee device to join, receive a request from the attendee device to join the conference call, and connect the attendee device to the conference call.

A system includes a database to provide access to stored user profile information about a first user using a respective first mobile communications device and a second user profile, using a respective second mobile communications device. A computing device is to receive a unique member identifier from all communications devices from all users who are members of the network to associate with profiles and authenticate when users sign into a user account; send to the second mobile communications device, an invitation to accept or reject an invitation to connect to the first user including receiving personal attribute information from, or sharing personal attribute information with, the first user; receive, from the second user, an acceptance of the invitation to connect to the first user; and connect the first user and the second user through the computing device for personal communication between first user and the second user.

An interface display method and an electronic device are provided. The method includes receiving a first input by a user in a case that a first interface of a first application is displayed, displaying a second interface including a target list in response to the first input, receiving a second input by the user for N members in the target list, and displaying a third interface in response to the second input. The target list of the second interface includes at least one of the following: a member list of at least one group in the first application or a contact list in at least one address book in the first application. In a case that the target list is a member list of the first group, the third interface is a group chat interface.

A request initiated by a first user in a social network to add at least a second user of the social network as a contact of the first user in the social network can be received. A security policy for the second user can be accessed and, based on the security policy, whether the first user is authorized to add the second user as the contact of the first user in the social network without the second user being prompted to approve the request can be determined. Responsive to determining that the first user is authorized to add the second user as the contact of the first user in the social network without prompting the second user to approve the request, the second user can be added as the contact of the first user in the social network without prompting the second user to approve the request.

A method to generate a contact list may include receiving an identifier of a first communication device at a captioning system. The first communication device may be configured to provide first audio data to a second communication device. The second communication device may be configured to receive first text data of the first audio data from the captioning system. The method may further include receiving and storing contact data from each of multiple communication devices at the captioning system. The method may further include selecting the contact data from the multiple communication devices that include the identifier of the first communication device as selected contact data and generating a contact list based on the selected contact data. The method may also include sending the contact list to the first communication device to provide the contact list as contacts for presentation on an electronic display of the first communication device.
