technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a free call sharing method and device.

Background technique

With the development of communication technology, there are more and more mobile phone users, and in order to attract more mobile phone users to use their applications, some developers will purchase a large amount of airtime from communication operators, and then allocate these airtime for free It is used by mobile phone users who use its application. For mobile phone users, their mobile phone numbers can use a certain length of free call time without paying.

However, due to certain restrictions on purchased airtime, for example, the above-mentioned airtime will expire at the end of each month. And for mobile phone users, some mobile phone users use free calling time more, and some mobile phone users use free calling time less. For developers who have purchased a large amount of airtime, after these airtimes are allocated, the allocated airtime is used by the allocated mobile phone user. If the mobile phone user uses less, the final invalid airtime will be more. For developers who purchase call time, it is a waste of resources.

Detailed ways

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided for more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

One of the core ideas of the embodiments of the present invention is that, for each calling number assigned a free call duration, put the above calling number into the free call sharing set, when a calling number in the free call sharing set makes a call , if the free call duration of the calling number reaches the upper limit, the remaining free call duration of other calling numbers in the free call sharing set can be transferred to the aforementioned calling number, so that the free call duration of each calling number can be shared, The utilization rate of the free call time is improved, the waste of resources is reduced, and the cost of the user with a long call time is reduced.

Embodiment one

Referring to Fig. 1, it shows a schematic flow chart of a free call sharing method of the present invention, which may specifically include:

Step 110, monitoring whether the free call duration of the first calling number used by the calling terminal reaches the upper limit;

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first calling number and the second calling number mentioned can be understood as telephone numbers.

In the embodiment of the present invention, whether the free call duration of the first calling number used by the calling terminal reaches the upper limit can be monitored through the application installed in the mobile address book. Then, when the calling terminal makes a call through the address book application, the address book application monitors the free call duration of the first calling number of the calling terminal. Of course, other applications can also monitor the free call duration of the first calling number.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the address book application monitors the free call duration of the first calling number locally at the calling terminal, and then sends the free call duration to the server, and the server then assigns the first calling number according to the total free call duration. Call duration, to determine whether the free call duration of the first calling number reaches the upper limit. For example, the address book application monitors that the first calling number 13011111111 of the calling terminal has currently used a free call duration of 30 minutes, and sends the 30 minutes and 13011111111 to the server, and the server queries the total free calls allocated to 13011111111 based on 13011111111. The call duration is 60 minutes, so the free call duration of the first calling number has not reached the upper limit.

Of course, the address book application of the calling terminal can also locally record the total free calling time of the first calling number, and then record the free calling time used by the first calling number of the calling terminal during the call.

Preferably, from the free call sharing set, before inquiring whether there is a second calling number with remaining free call duration, it also includes:

Step A101, sending a free call duration sharing request to at least one second calling number recorded in the address book of the calling terminal;

Step A102: Add the second calling number to the free call sharing set after receiving the share sharing response returned by the second calling number.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the user can initiate a free call duration sharing request to each other calling number in the address book of the calling terminal, and the free call duration enjoyed by the other calling number can only be shared after the user of the other calling number agrees. .

In practical applications, the calling terminal may send the request for free call duration sharing to the server, and the server then sends the request to the terminals where the respective second calling numbers pointed to by the free call duration sharing request are located. The user of each second calling number can choose to return to allow sharing in its terminal, or not to allow sharing. If the user of the second calling number chooses to allow sharing, the second calling number can be added to the free call sharing set; if the user of the second calling number chooses not to allow sharing, the second calling number will not be added Free call sharing collection.

Of course, the sharing permission response returned by the terminal where the second calling number is located may be returned to the server, and the server will add the second calling number to the free call sharing set.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a calling number can be restricted to join only one free call sharing set, and can also be allowed to join multiple free call sharing sets. When a calling number is added to multiple free call sharing sets, the free calling time corresponding to the calling number is updated synchronously to each free call sharing set.

Preferably, the sending the free call duration sharing request to at least one second calling number recorded in the address book of the calling terminal includes:

Sub-step A1011, for a second calling number, determine whether the second calling number has free call duration authority;

Sub-step A1012, if the second calling number does not have free call duration permission, then do not send a free call duration sharing request to the second calling number;

Sub-step A1013, if the second calling number has the permission of free call duration, send a free call duration sharing request to the second calling number.

In the embodiment of the present invention, among the second calling numbers recorded in the address book of the calling terminal, some of the second calling numbers may not be assigned free calling rights, that is, the server does not assign any second calling numbers to these second calling numbers. For free calling rights, if the terminal where the second calling number is located is not installed with the address book application of the embodiment of the present invention, the server will not assign free calling rights to the second calling number. Then, for these second calling numbers that do not have permission for free call duration, the embodiment of the present invention does not add these second calling numbers to the free call duration sharing set.

In practical applications, the calling terminal sends the free call duration sharing request for each second calling number to the server, and the server judges whether the corresponding second calling number has the free call duration permission, and if the second calling number has Free call duration permission, then send the free call duration sharing request to the terminal where the second calling number is located; The terminal where the calling number is located.

Of course, the free call duration permission can also be determined according to the communication operator to which the calling number belongs. For example, the developer purchases the free call duration of communication operator A, and allocates these free call durations to the calling numbers under communication operator A. If the second calling number targeted by the free call duration sharing request is a number under the communication carrier B, then the second calling number does not have the right to use the free call duration.

Preferably, the monitoring whether the free call duration of the first calling number used by the calling terminal reaches the upper limit includes:

Sub-step 111, according to the call type of the first calling number, monitor whether the free call duration of the first calling number under the calling type reaches the upper limit.

In practical applications, the duration of free calls may have geographical restrictions. For example, the tariffs for long-distance calls and local calls are different. Then for the embodiment of the present invention, if the developer only purchases the call duration of the local call from the communication operator, and allocates the corresponding free call duration for the first calling number, then the call type of the first calling number needs to be local Only when the call type is selected, the free call duration of the local call allocated by the server can be used.

Of course, if the developer purchases the call duration for long-distance calls and allocates corresponding free call duration for the first calling number, then the call type of the first calling number must be a long-distance call type in order to use the long-distance call assigned by the server. The free duration of the call.

Certainly, in the embodiment of the present invention, various types of free call durations may exist simultaneously, which is not limited by the present invention.

It can be understood that, for the above call type of the first calling number, when the first calling number calls the called number, the call type of the first calling number can be determined according to the region where the called number is located. Such as local call type, long distance call type, international call type and so on.

In the embodiment of the present invention, each time the calling terminal uses the first calling number to make a call, its free call time is recorded, for example, the calling terminal uses

In addition, the calling terminal may be a terminal with a call function such as a mobile phone, and the first calling number may be a phone number dialed from the terminal such as the mobile phone.

Preferably, before monitoring whether the free call duration of the first calling number used by the calling terminal reaches the upper limit, it also includes:

Step 112, before the user uses the address book to make a call, determine whether the address book has the authority to make a call;

Step 113, if the address book does not have the right to make calls, jump to the call setting interface to guide the user to set the call right in the address book.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after the calling terminal needs to install the address book application of the embodiment of the present invention, the user can perform free call sharing only by operating the address book application. Then when the user makes a call through the address book application, the address book application in the embodiment of the present invention needs to determine whether the address book itself has the authority to make a call, that is, whether it has the authority to call the dialing function of the operating system itself, if the address book does not have For the authority to make a call, the operation interface is jumped to the call setting interface through the jump interface of the system, and the user is guided to set the dialing authority of the address book.

Then the user can realize free call sharing through the address book of the embodiment of the present invention.

Step 120, if the free call duration of the first calling number reaches the upper limit, query whether there is a second calling number with remaining free call duration from the free call sharing set;

In the embodiment of the present invention, the upper limit of the free call duration is the total free call duration obtained by the first calling number. For example, the aforementioned first calling number 13011111111 has a total free call duration of 60 minutes, so the upper limit of the free call duration is 60 minutes.

Then, when the accumulated free calling time of the first calling number reaches 60 minutes, it is checked from the free calling sharing set whether there is a second calling number with remaining free calling time.

For example, the free call sharing collection includes {13011111111: 0, 13022222222: 30, 13033333333: 10, 13044444444: 40}, which records the remaining free call duration of each calling number, such as 13011111111 remaining 0 minutes, 13022222222 remaining 30 Minutes, 13033333333 remaining 20 minutes, 13044444444 remaining 40 minutes.

Certainly, in the embodiment of the present invention, after any calling number in the free calling sharing set makes a call, the remaining free calling time of the calling number in the free calling sharing set can be calculated according to the calling time and the upper limit of the free calling duration. .

It can be understood that the free call sharing collection can also adopt other record forms, such as {calling number: used free call duration/free call duration upper limit}, such as {13011111111: 60/60, 13022222222: 30/60, 13033333333: 50/ 60,13044444444: 20/60,} Then the remaining free call duration of the calling number = upper limit of free call duration - used free call duration.

Based on the above free call sharing set, the embodiment of the present invention can search for a second calling number whose free call duration has not reached the upper limit of free call duration in the free call sharing set, such as the aforementioned example {13011111111:0,13022222222:30,13033333333 : 10, 13044444444: 40}, querying whether there is a second calling number with remaining free calling time can be understood as querying a calling number with remaining free calling time, such as 13022222222. For example, in the aforementioned example {13011111111: 60/60, 13022222222: 30/60,, 13033333333: 50/60, 13044444444: 20/60,}, it is understandable to query whether there is a second calling number for the remaining free calling time To query a calling number whose free call duration is less than the upper limit of free call duration in "used free call duration/free call duration upper limit", such as 13022222222.

Preferably, said querying whether there is a second calling number with a remaining free call duration from the free call sharing set includes:

Sub-step 122, query a second calling number whose remaining free call duration is greater than the first threshold from the free call sharing set.

In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to avoid frequently switching the allocation of the free call duration and affecting the system performance, the embodiment of the present invention searches for the second calling number greater than the first threshold when querying the second calling number with the remaining free call duration , such as the first threshold is 20 minutes, then the second calling number in the aforementioned example {13011111111:0,13022222222:30,13033333333:10,13044444444:40} includes: 13022222222, 13044444444, and then a second calling number can be selected call the number.

Certainly, in the embodiment of the present invention, the second calling number with the longest remaining free calling time may be selected.

Of course, if none of the remaining free call durations is greater than the first threshold, the second calling number with the longest remaining free call duration may be selected.

Preferably, from the free call sharing set, query whether there is a second calling number with remaining free call duration, including:

Sub-step 124, from the free call sharing set, query each second calling number whose free call duration has not reached the upper limit;

Sub-step 126, according to the usage history of each second calling number for the free call duration, select a second calling number whose average usage time is less than a second threshold.

In practical applications, some calling numbers may not make frequent calls, while some calling numbers may make frequent calls. Then the present invention can use the free calling time according to the history of each calling number, such as using free time every week. total time to select the second calling number with less usage. For example, if a certain second calling number only uses 10 minutes of free calling time each week, then the second calling number can be selected. Avoid affecting the use of free calling time by other calling numbers using Jiaoduo.

As in the previous example, after finding 13022222222: 20, 13033333333: 10, 13044444444: 40, analyze the usage history of 1302222222, 13033333333, and 13044444444 to determine the average free call duration of 13022222222 per week The usage time is 10 minutes, if you judge that the average usage time of 13033333333 is 15 minutes per week for free calls, and if you judge that the average usage time of 13044444444 is 20 minutes per week, then select 13022222222.

Step 130, allocate the remaining free call duration of the second calling number to the first calling number.

Then, after selecting a second calling number that meets the aforementioned conditions in the free shared call set, the present invention allocates the remaining free call duration of the second calling number to the first calling number. For example, the remaining free call time of the aforementioned 13022222222 is allocated to 13011111111 for use, and 13011111111 can continue to make calls with the free call time.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the developer purchases a certain duration of call time from the communication operator, which can be understood as obtaining a certain duration of call time for the server, such as 10,000 minutes, then the server allocates the 10,000 minutes as N shares to each The calling number is then notified to the server of the communication operator of the allocated information, and the server of the communication operator will deduct from the allocated call duration of the calling number during the dialing process of the calling number. The developer's server can change the calling number bound to each free call duration, so that the calling number can use the free call duration.

Preferably, after allocating the remaining free call duration of the second calling number to the first calling number, the method further includes:

Step 132: After the call of the calling terminal ends, modify the used free call of the second calling number according to the first duration of the remaining free calling duration used by the first calling number duration.

For example, in the toll-free sharing set {13011111111: 0, 13022222222: 30, 13033333333: 10, 13044444444: 40} in the preceding example, when the first calling number 13011111111 uses the second calling number 13022222222, the remaining free call duration is 30 minutes 10 minutes, then modify the remaining free call duration of 13022222222 in the free call sharing set to 20 minutes, that is, get the modified free call sharing set {13011111111: 0, 13022222222: 20, 13033333333: 10, 13044444444: 40}.

Preferably, after allocating the remaining free call duration of the second calling number to the first calling number, the method further includes:

Step 134: After the call of the calling terminal ends, according to the first duration of the remaining free call duration used by the first calling number, notify the mobile terminal where the second calling number is located, the The first duration used by the first calling number.

In order to make it easier for the second calling number shared with the free calling time to know its shared free calling time, after the first calling number uses the first duration of the free calling time of the second calling number, Then the mobile terminal where the second calling number is located can be notified of the first duration. After 13011111111 has used 10 minutes of the remaining free call time of 13022222222, and the call of 13011111111 ends, then 13022222222 will be notified that 13011111111 has used its 10-minute free call time, and there are still 20 minutes of free call time left.

In the embodiment of the present invention, for each calling number allocated with a free call duration, the calling number is put into a free call sharing set, and when a calling number in the free calling sharing set makes a call, if the calling number If the free call duration reaches the upper limit, the remaining free call duration of other calling numbers in the free call sharing set can be transferred to the aforementioned calling number for use. Therefore, the free call duration of each calling number can be shared, the utilization rate of the free call duration is improved, the waste of resources is reduced, and the cost of the user with a long call time is reduced.

Embodiment two

Referring to Fig. 2, it shows a schematic flow chart of a free call sharing method of the present invention, which may specifically include:

Step 210, according to the call type of the first calling number, monitor whether the free call duration of the first calling number under the calling type reaches the upper limit;

In practical applications, the duration of free calls may have geographical restrictions. For example, the tariffs for long-distance calls and local calls are different. Then for the embodiment of the present invention, if the developer only purchases the call duration of the local call from the communication operator, and allocates the corresponding free call duration for the first calling number, then the call type of the first calling number needs to be local Only when the call type is selected, the free call duration of the local call allocated by the server can be used.

Of course, if the developer purchases the call duration for long-distance calls and allocates corresponding free call duration for the first calling number, then the call type of the first calling number must be a long-distance call type in order to use the long-distance call assigned by the server. The free duration of the call.

Certainly, in the embodiment of the present invention, various types of free call durations may exist simultaneously, which is not limited by the present invention.

Step 220, if the free call duration of the first calling number reaches the upper limit, query whether there is a second calling number with a remaining free call duration corresponding to the call type from the free call sharing set;

In the embodiment of the present invention, developers can purchase free call durations of various call types at the communication operator, and then distribute them to each calling number, such as purchasing free call durations for local calls and free call durations for long-distance calls . Then constructing a free call sharing collection can be as follows: {call number: (call type, remaining call time), (call type, remaining call time)...;...}, such as {13011111111: (A,0),(B, 10); 13022222222: (A,30), (B,10); 13033333333: (A,10), (B,20); 13044444444: (A,40), (B,10)}.

Then, when the first calling number 13011111111 makes a call with call type A, its free call time reaches the upper limit, that is, its free call time is exhausted. In the free call sharing set, it is checked whether there is remaining free call time under the call type A of other calling numbers. For example, if 13022222222, 13033333333, and 13044444444 all have remaining free talk time under call type A, the embodiment of the present invention may select one of them, such as 13022222222.
