Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure relates to a terminal, which can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart watch and other devices capable of installing an APP (Application), and the embodiment of the disclosure does not limit the terminal. In the related art, since the dual-card dual-standby mobile phone is periodically switched from the main card to the secondary card to monitor the paging message sent to the secondary card by the access network device, the data transmission of the main card is interrupted during the time period when the terminal stays in the secondary card. If the user is playing games by using the dual-card dual-standby mobile phone, the situation of game pause or disconnection may occur, and the experience of the user in playing games is greatly influenced. According to the technical scheme, when the terminal detects that the game application is started and the game application carries out data transmission through the main card, the call transfer service from the auxiliary card to the main card can be set, namely the main card is adopted to monitor the information of the auxiliary card, the condition that the terminal is frequently switched to the auxiliary card to monitor the information when a user uses the game application to cause discontinuous data transmission is avoided, and the user experience is improved.

Fig. 1a is a flowchart illustrating a call forwarding method applied to a terminal according to an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 1a, the call forwarding method includes the following steps 101 to 102:

in step 101, when it is determined that the preset application APP is started, a call forwarding command is sent to the access network device, so that the access network device notifies the core network device of completing call forwarding setting.

For example, the preset APP is set by the user according to actual needs, and may be a game APP, a video APP, or may also be a video call APP, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

Specifically, a process of the currently running application exists in a process list of the terminal processor, and processes of different APPs are distinguished by application identifiers in the process.

The terminal may monitor the process list in real time, and determine whether a process including the application identifier of the preset APP exists in the process list. If the process list contains the process including the application identifier of the preset APP, confirming that the preset APP is in an open state; and if the process list does not have the process comprising the application identifier of the preset APP, determining that the preset APP is in a closed state.

Or, the terminal may monitor the process list in real time, and when a new process is inserted into the process list, determine whether the new process includes the application identifier of the preset APP. If the new process comprises the application identifier of the preset APP, confirming that the preset APP is in an open state; and if the new process does not comprise the application identifier of the preset APP, continuously detecting the process list.

When determining that the preset APP is started, the terminal may send a call forwarding command to the access network device, and after receiving the call forwarding command, the access network device may notify a core network of an operator to set call forwarding from the secondary card to the primary card, so that interaction between the access network device and the terminal secondary card is forwarded to the primary card. Specifically, when the terminal determines that the preset APP is in an open state, a UI (User Interface ) may send an open notification to a telephony module of a frame layer, and the telephony module may generate a call transfer command according to the open notification and send the call transfer command to the access network device.

In step 102, during the preset APP being in the on state, a paging message for the secondary card is received by listening to the primary card.

For example, when it is determined that the preset APP is in the on state, it is described that the preset APP may receive transmission data by using the main card at this time, so that the terminal may receive a paging message for the secondary card by monitoring the main card, that is, various information of the secondary card is monitored by the main card, and a situation that data transmission is interrupted due to frequent switching of the terminal is avoided.

Optionally, in practical application, a situation that the preset APP transmits data through the secondary card may also occur. If the terminal sends a call forwarding command to the access network device at this time, it may be possible that the normal use of the preset APP is affected by implementing call forwarding from the secondary card to the primary card. Therefore, when determining that the preset APP is in an on state, the terminal may first determine whether the preset APP transmits data through the main card. If the preset APP transmits data through the main card, a call transfer command can be sent to the access network equipment, so that the access network equipment informs the core network equipment of completing call transfer setting, and further the terminal can be in an open state when the preset APP transmits data through the main card, and receives a paging message aiming at the auxiliary card through monitoring the main card; if the preset APP transmits data through the auxiliary card, the terminal can keep the current state unchanged.

Specifically, the terminal may first obtain a data connection currently established with the access network device, then determine an identifier of a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card for establishing the data connection, and determine whether the preset APP transmits data through the main card currently according to the identifier of the SIM card. If the SIM card identifier for establishing the data connection is a main card identifier, indicating that the preset APP transmits data through the main card currently; and if the SIM card identifier for establishing the data connection is the auxiliary card identifier, indicating that the preset APP transmits data through the auxiliary card currently.

According to the technical scheme, when the terminal detects that the preset APP is started, the paging message for the auxiliary card is received through the monitoring main card according to the setting of the access network equipment, the condition that the terminal is frequently switched to the auxiliary card to monitor the data transmission discontinuity caused by the information when the user uses the preset APP is avoided, and the user experience is improved.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1b, the method further comprises step 103:

in step 103, when it is determined that there is an incoming call of the secondary card according to the paging message for the secondary card, the incoming call of the secondary card is rejected.

Illustratively, the terminal monitors a paging message of the secondary card through the primary card in real time, whether a call comes from the secondary card currently can be determined through the paging message, if the paging message shows that the call comes from the secondary card currently, the terminal can indicate the telephony module to detect whether a preset APP is started, if the preset APP is started, the telephony module sends the starting state of the preset APP to the modem (communication) module, and the modem module can reject the call coming from the secondary card.

Or, the terminal may also display a prompt message on the current interface when determining that the secondary card has the call according to the paging message for the secondary card, so as to prompt the user that the user currently has the call for the secondary card. Illustratively, the paging message is provided with the calling number of the secondary card incoming call. When the terminal monitors the paging message through the main card, the paging message can be analyzed, and the calling number of the incoming call of the auxiliary card can be acquired and stored. After rejecting the incoming call of the auxiliary card, generating calling prompt information according to the calling number of the incoming call of the auxiliary card, and then displaying the calling prompt information on a current interface, so that a user is prompted to determine whether the call needs to be answered or not. In the process, the data connection of the main card is always on line, data transmission is normally carried out, and the use of the preset APP by the user cannot be influenced.

Specifically, after the modem module of the terminal rejects the incoming call of the secondary card, the reject notification can be sent to the telephony module, the telephony module can generate a call prompt message according to the calling number of the incoming call of the secondary card, then the call prompt message is popped up at the top end of the terminal screen in a push message popping mode, namely a prompt word sample can be displayed in a pop-up frame at the top end of the terminal screen, the prompt word sample can be that the secondary card receives the incoming call with the calling number of 13000000000 at 13 o' clock, 14 min 25 sec at 10/02/13/2017/h, the call is rejected at present, whether the call needs to be answered or not is determined, and a user can know the information of the incoming call of the secondary card in time while using a preset APP.

Optionally, after the terminal rejects the incoming call of the secondary card, the terminal may further obtain the calling number of the incoming call of the secondary card according to the paging message of the incoming call of the secondary card, and then add the calling number of the incoming call of the secondary card to the call record, so that after the user exits from the preset APP, the user determines whether to answer the call by looking up the call record.

According to the technical scheme, when the call of the auxiliary card is monitored through the main card, the call of the auxiliary card can be refused, the influence of the user on the normal use process of the preset APP due to the fact that the user has to answer the call of the auxiliary card is avoided, the continuity of data transmission when the preset APP is used is improved, and further the user experience is improved.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1c, the method further comprises step 104 and step 104:

in step 104, when determining that the user needs to set the APP for starting call forwarding, outputting an interface including a plurality of APP options.

In step 105, a preset APP is determined according to an APP selected by a user on an interface of a plurality of APP options.

In an example, in order to facilitate a user to select a preset APP which needs to improve the use experience, the terminal may display a selection interface in the setting function, all APPs installed by the terminal are listed in the selection interface, and each APP is further correspondingly provided with a function selection button. When the terminal determines that the user needs to set the APP for starting call forwarding, the selection interface can be displayed, and the user can click the function selection button of each APP displayed on the selection interface as required to select. The terminal can determine the preset APP according to the selection of the user. Specifically, the reference APP is taken as an example for explanation, if the terminal needs to improve the experience of using the reference APP, the function selection button corresponding to the reference APP displayed on the selection interface may be clicked, and after the terminal detects the click of the user, the reference APP is determined to be the preset APP. In practical application, a user can select a plurality of APPs as preset APPs according to self requirements, and each preset APP can be processed according to the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure.

According to the technical scheme, the terminal can determine the preset APP needing to improve the use experience according to the selection of the user, and the convenience and the accuracy of the user in selecting the preset APP are improved.

In one embodiment, when determining that the user needs to set the APP for starting call forwarding, the terminal may further determine whether the main card is in a roaming state, and when the main card is in the roaming state, display a charge prompt message and a charge confirmation button, where the charge prompt message is used to prompt the user to start a charge standard of the call forwarding function. And then when the expense confirmation button is clicked, determining a preset APP according to the APP selected by the user on the interfaces of the plurality of APP options.

For example, since the user may charge an extra fee when using the terminal in a non-home location, in order to improve the transparency of the charge between the operator and the user, the terminal may first detect whether the terminal is currently in a roaming state through a frame. If the terminal is detected to be in a roaming state currently, namely the current use place of the terminal is located in a non-home area, a roaming charge request can be sent to the access network equipment, after the access network equipment receives the roaming charge request, charge prompt information is generated according to the charging standard of a use place operator, the charge prompt information comprises the charge standard of the use place operator for providing the call transfer function service, and then the charge prompt information is sent to the terminal. The terminal can display the expense prompt information and the expense confirmation button on the display screen and prompt the user to check the expense prompt information and the expense confirmation button in a ringing or vibrating mode. The user can determine whether to start the call forwarding function according to the self requirement. If the user determines that the call forwarding function needs to be started, the cost confirmation button can be clicked, the terminal can output an interface comprising a plurality of APP options after detecting the click, and the preset APP is determined according to the APP selected by the user on the interfaces of the plurality of APP options. If the user determines that the call forwarding function does not need to be started, any other area except the expense confirmation button can be clicked, and after the terminal detects the click, the terminal stops setting the preset APP, so that extra fee deduction on for the user is avoided.

In the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, most operators need to collect the cost when providing the service of monitoring the information of the auxiliary card by the main card, so that the terminal can firstly feed the cost standard back to the user by displaying the cost prompt information, the user can conveniently select whether to set the preset APP according to the actual needs of the user, the property loss of the user is avoided, the transparency of the cost information is improved, and the user experience is further improved.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1d, in step 103, when it is determined that there is an incoming call of the secondary card according to the paging message for the secondary card, rejecting the incoming call of the secondary card may be implemented by steps 1031 and 1032:

in step 1031, when it is determined that there is an incoming call of the secondary card according to the paging message for the secondary card, it is determined whether the data volumes of a plurality of data packets transmitted by the primary card within a preset time period by the preset APP are all greater than or equal to a preset threshold.

In step 1032, if the data amount of the multiple data packets transmitted by the main card within the preset time period through the preset APP is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the incoming call of the secondary card is rejected.

For example, the user is not all using the APP in real time after opening the APP, and there is a high possibility that the user starts processing other emergency transactions after opening the preset APP. In this case, although the terminal displays the interface of the preset APP, the user does not normally use the preset APP. If the terminal still has an incoming call on the auxiliary card, refusing the incoming call on the auxiliary card, and possibly causing the user to miss an important call, when the terminal monitors the incoming call on the auxiliary card through the main card, the size of the data volume of each data packet transmitted by the preset APP through the main card in a preset time period can be determined, if the data volume of each data packet transmitted by the preset APP through the main card in the preset time period is large, namely the service uploaded or downloaded by the preset APP is busy, the situation that the user possibly uses the preset APP is indicated, and at the moment, the terminal can refuse the incoming call on the auxiliary card, so that the experience of the user when the user uses the preset APP is ensured; if the data volume of each data packet transmitted by the main card in the preset time period of the preset APP is small, namely, the uploading or downloading service of the preset APP is small, the preset APP is indicated to be possibly not normally used by a user, and at the moment, the terminal can display an interface for answering the incoming call of the auxiliary card, so that the user can answer the call in time. In practical applications, the preset time period may be set according to specific situations, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

Specifically, when the terminal monitors an incoming call of the auxiliary card through the main card, the terminal can firstly instruct a telephony module to detect the data volume of a data packet uploaded or downloaded by a preset APP, and if the data volume of the data packet uploaded or downloaded by the preset APP is smaller than a preset threshold value H within a preset time T, the terminal can display an interface for answering the incoming call of the auxiliary card; and if the data volume of the data packet uploaded or downloaded by the preset APP is greater than or equal to the preset threshold value H within the preset time T, the terminal can reject the incoming call of the auxiliary card.

According to the technical scheme, when the terminal detects the call of the auxiliary card through the main card, the terminal can also detect the size of the data volume transmitted by the preset APP through the main card, and when the data volume transmitted by the preset APP through the main card is large, the call of the auxiliary card is refused, so that the condition that the user misses an important call due to the fact that the call of the auxiliary card is refused when the requirement on data continuity of the preset APP is not high is avoided, and the user experience is improved.

The implementation is described in detail below by way of several embodiments.
