FIG. 6 shows a flowchart of a method for remotely retrieving data stored in a smart phone device according to a second preferred embodiment of the present invention. At the beginning, in step 601 , the user will use the public phone to continuously dial, for example, 3 calls to the smart phone device to activate the remote inquiry function of the smart phone device. If the smart phone device continuously receives, for example, 3 missed calls from the same phone number, the remote data retrieval service program will automatically answer the call when the user calls next time. Next, in step 602 , the user again uses the public phone to make an outgoing call to the smart phone device. Next, in step 603, the remote data retrieval service program will automatically pick up the phone and remind the user to speak the password to perform the user authentication process. At this time, in step 604, the user speaks the password after the reminder voice of the remote data retrieval service program is over, and the voice recognition unit of the remote data retrieval service program will perform voice recognition to transmit the data from the mobile communication platform. voice into text, so that the remote data retrieval service program can confirm the identity of the user according to the password. If the password is correct, then in step 605 the remote data retrieval service program will remind the user to issue a command to perform data query. For example, if the user wants to inquire about the phone number named Mary in the phonebook of the smart phone device, the user speaks out voice information such as 'phone Mary'. Next, in step 606, the voice recognition unit of the remote data retrieval service program will perform voice recognition to convert the voice transmitted by the mobile communication platform into text, and the remote data retrieval service program will Query the phone number named Mary in the phone book of the smart phone device. Next, in step 607, the remote data retrieval service program transmits the retrieved data back to the public phone in the form of voice information, for example. For example, if the result of the query shows that the phone number named Mary in the phone book of the smart phone device is 0911222333, then the remote data retrieval service program will send the voice message of 'Mary0911222333' to the public phone through the transceiver unit. In this way, the user can retrieve the data stored in the smart phone device by sending voice messages through the public phone when the smart phone device cannot be accessed. the

FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of a method for remotely retrieving data stored in a smart phone device according to a third preferred embodiment of the present invention. Initially, in step 701, the user will use an email sending and receiving device, such as a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a personal digital assistant, or a smart phone device, to send an email with the subject of the The stored data consists of text information. For example, if the user wants to inquire about the contact number named Mary in the phone book of the smart phone device, he can use the email sending and receiving device to send an email to the smart phone device, whose title is as shown in Figure 4 (A) text information. Next, in step 702, when the remote data retrieval service program of the smart phone device receives the email via the transceiver unit, the text analyzer of the remote data retrieval service program will determine the title of the email Whether the format of the text message is correct. If the format of the text information in the title of the e-mail is correct, in step 703 the remote data retrieval service program will confirm the identity of the user by judging whether the password in the text information in the title of the e-mail is correct. Next, in step 704, if the format of the text message is correct and the user's identity is confirmed, the remote data retrieval service program will execute the command in the text message to query Mary's phone number according to the analysis result of the text analyzer. Next, in step 705, the remote data retrieving service program will send the retrieved data to the e-mail sending and receiving device through the sending and receiving unit in the form of e-mail, for example. For example, if the result of the query shows that the contact number of Mary in the phone book of the smart phone device is 0911222333, then the remote data retrieval service program will send the email titled 'Mary 0911222333' to the email via the transceiver unit. transceiver device. In this way, the user can retrieve the data stored in the smart phone device by sending an email through the email sending and receiving device without being able to contact the smart phone device. the

FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of a method for remotely retrieving data stored in a smart phone device according to a fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention. At the beginning, in step 801, the user will use a network telephony device, such as a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a personal digital assistant or a smart phone device, to continuously dial, for example, 3 calls to the smart phone device to activate the smart phone The remote query function of the device. If the smart phone device continuously receives, for example, 3 missed calls from the same network address (IP address), the remote data retrieval service program will automatically answer the call when the user calls next time. Next, in step 802, the user again uses the Internet phone transceiver device to dial out a call to the smart phone device. Next, in step 803, the remote data retrieval service program automatically picks up the phone and reminds the user to say the password to perform the user authentication process. At this time, in step 804, the user speaks the password after the reminder voice of the remote data retrieval service program is over, and the voice recognition unit of the remote data retrieval service program will perform voice recognition to transmit the data from the mobile communication platform. The voice is converted into text, so that the remote data retrieval service program can confirm the identity of the user according to the password. If the password is correct, then in step 805, the remote data retrieval service program will remind the user to issue a command for data query. For example, if the user wants to inquire about the phone number named Mary in the phonebook of the smart phone device, the user speaks the voice message of 'phone Mary'. Next, in step 806, the voice recognition unit of the remote data retrieval service program will perform voice recognition to convert the voice transmitted by the mobile communication platform into text, and the remote data retrieval service program will Query the phone number named Mary in the phone book of the smart phone device. Next, in step 807, the remote data retrieval service program transmits the retrieved data back to the VoIP transceiver device in the form of voice information, for example. For example, if the result of the query shows that the phone number named Mary in the phone book of the smart phone device is 0911222333, then the remote data retrieval service program will send the voice information of 'Mary 0911222333' to the Internet phone transceiver device through the transceiver unit . In this way, the user can retrieve the data stored in the smart phone device by sending voice information through the Internet phone transceiver device without being able to contact the smart phone device. the

Based on the above, the present invention proposes a smart phone device that provides remote data retrieval services and a method for remotely retrieving data stored in the smart phone device, which allows users to In the case of a phone device, text messages or voice messages are used to retrieve data stored in the smart phone device. The feature of the present invention is to allow the remote user to send a text message or voice message to the smart phone device through a designated communication device, such as a mobile phone, a public phone, a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a personal digital assistant or a smart phone device, etc. And the smart phone device will execute a remote data retrieval service program, which will retrieve the data desired by the user according to the command in the text message or voice message, and send the retrieved data as text message or The voice information is sent back to the communication device designated by the user. Therefore, the user can retrieve the data stored in the smart phone device without touching the smart phone device, so that the user can access the data stored in the smart phone device at any place. the
