Detailed ways

The main idea of the present invention is to judge whether the terminal is currently being used when a mobile terminal has an incoming call or a reminder event, and if so, prompt the user according to the preset power-saving prompt mode (first call prompt mode).

In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, an incoming call prompt system for a mobile terminal is provided.

Fig. 1 is a structural block diagram of an incoming call notification system for a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1, the system includes a judging module 10 and a processing module 20, which will be described in detail below.

When receiving an incoming call or a reminder event, the incoming call response circuit of the mobile terminal will generate an interrupt signal. At this time, the judging module 10 judges the current state of the mobile terminal, and the state includes: an in-use state and an unused state. If the judging module 10 judges that the mobile terminal is currently in use, it notifies the processing module 20 . The above-mentioned incoming call or reminder event is an event that needs to be prompted to the user when the terminal communicates, including but not limited to: incoming calls, new text messages, emails, or instant messaging messages.

After receiving the notification from the judging module 10, the processing module 20 prompts the user according to the preset first notification method of incoming calls. Preferably, the first notification method for an incoming call is a screen notification method (or called a silent notification method), that is, only a screen notification is provided without other notifications such as ringing or vibration. Therefore, the first incoming call prompting method is a kind of relatively power-saving incoming call prompting.

Through the processing of the above modules, when the mobile terminal receives an incoming call or a reminder event during use, a power-saving incoming call notification method (the first incoming call notification method) is executed, which can not only ensure the reminder to the user, but also save mobile phone calls. Terminal power consumption.

The key of the present invention is how to judge that the mobile phone is in use. One of the main characteristics of the mobile phone being in use is that the screen of the mobile phone is bright. In an embodiment of the present invention, whether the mobile phone is in use can be judged by checking the brightness of the screen of the mobile phone. Referring to FIG. 2 , the judgment module 10 further includes: a first detection submodule 110 and a first judgment submodule 120 . Wherein, the first detection sub-module 110 is used for detecting the brightness of the screen when there is an incoming call or a reminder event. The first judging submodule 120 is connected with the first detecting submodule 110 , and is used for judging that the mobile terminal is in use when the first detecting submodule 110 detects that the screen is on, and notifying the processing module 20 . After receiving the notification from the second judging sub-module 130, the processing module 20 prompts the user according to the preset first notification method for incoming calls. Generally, when the mobile phone is in use, the screen backlight will have a certain brightness (that is, the screen backlight is not 0), so by detecting the brightness data of the screen backlight, it can be judged whether the mobile phone is in use.

During the process from using the mobile phone to when the user stops using the mobile phone, since the screen backlight of the mobile phone has a certain delay mechanism (the time can be set by yourself), the mobile phone screen cannot immediately turn to a dark screen. For example, if the user leaves the phone immediately after using the phone or puts the phone in the bag, the screen brightness can be detected when the phone is in a delayed state, and when there is an incoming call or a reminder event, the power-saving incoming call reminder method may cause the user to miss Incoming call, so the second judging sub-module needs to be set. Continue to refer to FIG. 3 below. On the basis of FIG. 2 , the judging module 10 also includes: a second judging submodule 130 for judging the last touch when the first judging submodule 120 judges that the mobile terminal is in use Whether the event occurs within the preset time, if so, the processing module 20 is notified. After receiving the notification from the second judging sub-module 130, the processing module 20 prompts the user according to the preset first notification method for incoming calls. It should be noted that when setting the above-mentioned preset time, it must be shorter than the dark screen delay time of the mobile phone, and it should be set according to actual use. Through the judgment process of the second judging sub-module, the situation that the user may miss an incoming call due to the backlight delay mechanism is avoided.

Another characteristic when the mobile phone is in use is that the user often holds the mobile terminal. According to this feature, in one embodiment of the present invention, it is also possible to determine whether the mobile phone is in use by detecting the grip force of the hand on the mobile phone. Referring to FIG. 4 , the judgment module 10 further includes: a second detection submodule 140 and a third judgment submodule 150 . The second detection sub-module 140 is arranged on the shell of the mobile terminal, and is used for detecting the pressure data of the mobile terminal when there is an incoming call or a reminder event. Preferably, the second detection sub-module is one or more pressure sensors. The third judging submodule 150 is configured to judge that the mobile terminal is in use when the second detecting submodule 140 detects pressure data, and notify the processing module 20 . After receiving the notification from the second judging sub-module 130, the processing module 20 prompts the user according to the preset first notification method for incoming calls.

It should be noted that, in an embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned first judging submodule, second judging submodule and third judging submodule may be integrated into one.

In addition, when the processing module 20 does not respond to an incoming call after a preset period of time after prompting the user in the first preset incoming call prompting manner, the processing module 20 prompts the user in the second preset incoming call prompting manner. That is to say, when there is an incoming call, the processing module 20 first prompts the user according to the set power-saving prompt mode; after a period of time, the user does not respond to the incoming call, then prompts the user according to the set normal ringing mode, using ringing and/or Vibration prompts the user.

Referring to FIG. 5 below, the system further includes: a setting module 30 connected to the processing module 20 for setting the first incoming call prompting method and the second incoming call prompting method.

Generally, the user will set his/her preferred incoming call prompting method, specifically including: ringing, vibration or a combination of ringing and vibration, etc., and this incoming call prompting method is called the second incoming call prompting method. Obviously, the second incoming call prompting method has a better prompt effect than the first incoming call prompting method, and can better remind the user, but at the same time, the power consumption is correspondingly increased compared with the first incoming call prompting method. When the processing module 20 prompts the user according to the first power-saving prompt method for incoming calls, but the user does not respond to the incoming call after a preset period of time, the user is prompted according to the second incoming call prompt method that consumes electricity but has a good prompting effect. The prompting method can not only save battery power of the mobile phone, but also ensure a good prompting effect.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for prompting an incoming call of a mobile terminal is also provided. Referring to Figure 6, the method includes:

Step S602, judging whether the mobile terminal is in use when there is an incoming call or a reminder event.

Step S604, in the case of judging that the mobile terminal is in use, prompting the user according to the preset first notification method for incoming calls.

An example of the present invention is described below with reference to FIG. 7 . With reference to Figure 7, it specifically includes the following steps:

In step S702, the mobile terminal receives an incoming call or a reminder event occurs during normal use. The above-mentioned incoming call or reminder event is an event that needs to be prompted to the user when the terminal communicates, including but not limited to: incoming calls, new text messages, emails, or instant messaging messages.

Step S704, judging whether the mobile terminal is currently in use.

Whether the mobile terminal is in use can be judged by the following methods: (1) Detect the brightness of the screen when there is an incoming call or a reminder event, and when the detected screen is bright, determine that the mobile terminal is in use; (2) When there is an incoming call or When an event is reminded, the pressure data for the mobile terminal is detected, and when the pressure data is detected, it is judged that the mobile terminal is in use.

If it is judged that the mobile terminal is in use by the above-mentioned first method, then execute step S706; if it is judged by the above-mentioned second method that the mobile terminal is in use, then execute step S708; if it is judged that the mobile terminal is not in use, then execute step S712.

Step S706 , judging whether the last touch event occurred within the preset time ( T1 ), if so, judging that the mobile terminal is in use, otherwise, go to step S712 .

Step S708, execute the power saving prompt mode, that is, prompt the user according to the first incoming call prompt mode. Specifically, the first notification method for an incoming call may be referred to as a silent notification method, that is, only a screen notification is provided without other notifications such as ringing or vibration.

Step S710, the user does not respond to an incoming call within a preset time period (T2).

Step S712, execute the normal ringing method, that is, remind the user according to the second incoming call notification method, that is, ringing, vibration or a combination of ringing and vibration, etc., and the process ends.

The operation steps of the method of the present invention correspond to the structural features of the system, and can be referred to each other, and will not be repeated one by one.

To sum up, according to the technical solution of the present invention, when the mobile phone receives an incoming call or a reminder event during use, the user is prompted according to the set first incoming call prompting mode (power saving mode); , then use the second incoming call prompt method (ordinary ringing method) with better prompt effect to prompt the user. The invention can effectively save the battery power of the mobile phone while ensuring that the user is reminded of an incoming call.
