Currently, consumers mainly use single-mode mobile phones based on CDMA or GSM networks. There are two types of CDMA/GSM networks in China and many other countries in the world. Both networks have their own strengths, but users cannot enjoy the convenience of both networks at the same time. The emergence of the CDMA/GSM silent mode mobile phone completely solved this problem, allowing users to freely switch between CDMA and GSM networks, killing two birds with one stone.

When a mobile user uses a mobile phone to call other mobile users, since the dual-mode mobile phone supports two networks at the same time, when the user makes a call, it is necessary to consider the specific network call from the network, because the quality of the call between the same network is generally better than that. Heterogeneous networks, and the cost of calls is generally lower than the cost between heterogeneous networks. Users generally want to choose calls between networks of the same type. However, there is currently no convenient way to know which network the called party belongs to, which gives the user a great inconvenience in judging which network to choose to make the call.

When using a single-mode mobile phone, the user only needs to press the dialing button directly after the selection to call out. At present, the business card holder, phone book and call record of the dual-mode mobile phone do not indicate which network the number corresponding to each record belongs to. If the network of the mobile number stored in the business card holder, the phone book and the call record can be indicated, then Users are much more convenient when they choose to make calls on the network. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First embodiment

In this embodiment, the CDMA/GSM silent mode mobile phone is taken as an example, and the dual mode mobile phone includes one or more inclusions for selecting a network to select a number from a business card holder, a phone book or a call record of the dual mode mobile phone. The application module 11 of the phone number information is further provided with a home network configuration module 14, a home network judgment module 12 and a call control module 13, and the application module 11 is respectively connected to the home network judgment module 12 and the call control module 13, the attribution The network judging module 12 is connected to the home network configuration module 14, as shown in FIG. 1, wherein:

The home network configuration module 14 is configured to preset a mobile number attribution network table in the multimode mobile phone.

The home network determining module 12 is configured to determine a home network of the phone number by calling the mobile number home network table after starting, and return a determination result. The result may be information of the number belonging to the network, or a prompt of the number not being a mobile number.

The application module 11 includes: a configuration unit 111, configured to add a number home network information in a record of an application including a phone number, and set a display area of the information on the application interface; the storage processing unit 112, When the mobile terminal's telephone number is saved in the application, the home network determining module 12 is activated and the number home network returned by the module is saved; and a calling unit 113 is configured to be called when the user selects a number to make a call. The number and its home network information are transmitted to the call control module 13.

The call control module 13 is configured to: when the number is selected for the call in the application, when the number home network is available, the network to which the number belongs is preferentially selected to initiate a call. There are two ways: One is the automatic selection method, that is, when the number home network can be used, the mobile phone automatically selects the number to belong to the network to initiate the call. If it cannot be used, the mobile phone automatically selects another network to initiate the call. The other is manually selected by the user based on the home network and network availability of the identified number.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the application module is a business card holder, the process of selecting a number to initiate a call from the business card holder includes the following steps: Step 110: First, preset a mobile number attribution network table in the dual-mode mobile phone, Business card holder In the recording, the information of the number attribution network is added, and the display area of the information is set on the interface; Step 120, after the user inputs the number to be saved in the business card holder, the mobile phone first determines whether the number is a CDMA/GSM network mobile number, if , the next step, if not, may be fixed telephone and PHS number, etc., processed separately, the method ends;

When judging whether the mobile number is a CDMA/GSM network mobile number, it may be judged according to the length of the number. When the numbers are the same, it may further be determined according to a specific feature of the mobile number of the network in the mobile number home network table, such as the first few digits. Wait.

The reason for this judgment is based on the characteristics of the mobile number, such as the length, because if the mobile number home network table is directly queried, the numbers of other networks can be obtained as a result of not belonging to the network, but it will waste time and system resources. . Step 130: The dual-mode mobile phone queries the preset mobile number home network table to determine the home network of the number;

Step 140: The mode mobile phone saves the home network of the number, and gives a prominent identifier to the record on the contact card interface, indicating the home network of the number;

The above four steps have completed the identification of the number attribution network in the business card holder.

Step 150: When the user selects a number in the contact card to make a call, the network that the number belongs to is preferentially selected to initiate the call.

If the number belongs to the network, the mobile phone can automatically select the number to send the call to the home network. If it cannot be used, the mobile phone automatically selects another network to initiate the call. Of course, it is also possible to manually select by the user based on the home network of the identified number, since the user may also need to consider other factors when selecting the network.

The above process is also applicable to the application in the phone book, just change the "name folder" to the phone book.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the application module is a call record, the process of selecting a number to initiate a call from the call record includes the following steps:

Step 210: First, preset a mobile number home network table in the dual mode mobile phone, add information of the number home network in the call record, and set a display area of the information on the interface;

Step 220: When the call record (including the opposite phone number) is saved, if the call is not received, the call is received. The telephone, the outgoing call, etc., the Hanmo mobile phone first determines whether the number is a CDMA/GSM network mobile number, and if so, performs the next step, if not, the method ends;

Step 230: The dual-mode mobile phone queries a preset mobile number home network table, and determines a home network of the number.

Step 240: The dual-mode mobile phone saves the home network of the number, and gives a prominent identifier on the call record interface, indicating the home network of the number;

The above four steps have completed the identification of the number home network in the call record.

Step 250: The user selects a number in the call record to make a call, and preferentially selects a network to which the number belongs to initiate a call.

Again, this step can automatically select the network or manually. Refer to the description of step 150. In the above process, the purpose of the identifier on the recording interface is to facilitate the user to manually select the network according to the identifier when making a call. In another embodiment, no identification may be given. When making a call, when the home network of the number is available, the mobile phone automatically selects the home network of the number from the mobile number home network information saved by the application module such as the business card holder, the phone book, and the call record to initiate a call, or indicates the number of the user. The home network and initiate a call based on the network selected by the user. In this way, the same network can be preferentially selected to make calls, saving call charges.

Second embodiment

This embodiment does not identify the stored number of the home network, but only determines the called home network at the time of the call to achieve the purpose of preferentially selecting the same network call.

Still taking a CDMA/GSM dual-mode mobile phone as an example, the dual-mode mobile phone includes a call control module 21, a home network judging module 22, and a home network configuration module 23, which are sequentially connected, as shown in FIG. 2, wherein:

The home network configuration module 23 is configured to preset a mobile number home network table in the multimode mobile phone.

The call control module 21 is configured to: when the user selects or inputs a mobile number to make a call in the multi-mode mobile phone, the home network determining module 22 is started to query the home network of the number, and the home network is preferentially selected when the home network is available. Initiate a call.

There are two ways to select the priority, one is the automatic selection method, that is, the number is in the home network. When the network can be used, the mobile phone automatically selects the number to belong to the network to initiate the call. If it cannot be used, the mobile phone automatically selects another network to initiate the call. The other is a manual selection method, that is, a selection interface of an available network may be popped up first, and the home network of the number is indicated in the interface when the home network is available, and then the call is initiated according to the network selected by the user.

The home network determining module 22 is configured to determine, after the startup, the home network of the phone number by calling the mobile number attribution network table, and return a determination result. The result may be information of the number home network, or a prompt of the number not a mobile number.

As shown in FIG. 5, the processing procedure of the method in this embodiment includes the following steps:

Step 310: First, preset a mobile number attribution network table in the silent mode mobile phone;

Step 320: The user selects a number in an application that includes mobile number information, or directly inputs a number to make a call, and the application may be a business card holder, a phone book, or a call record;

Step 330: The dual-mode mobile phone queries a preset mobile number home network table, and determines a home network of the number.

Step 340: The dual-mode mobile phone initiates a call according to the home network and preferentially selects the home network of the number.

If the home network of the number is available, the mobile phone can automatically select the number to belong to the home network to initiate a call. If not, the mobile phone automatically selects another network to initiate the call. Of course, a selection interface of an available network may be popped up first, and the home network of the number is indicated in the interface when the home network is available, and then the call is initiated according to the network selected by the user.

Although the above embodiment uses a CDMA/GSM dual-mode mobile phone as an example, it is obvious that in any dual mode (such as GSM/TD-SCDMA, etc.) or other multi-mode mobile phones that can save the number and call out according to the saved number. The method of the present invention can be applied to applications (referred to as "phonebook", "call record", "business card holder", etc.).
