Description

Method and device for controlling called call of mobile terminal

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method and apparatus for controlling a called call of a mobile terminal. Background technique

With the coverage of current mobile communication networks, mobile terminals such as mobile phones have become popular. At this stage, most communication operators adopt the prepaid method, that is, the user must pay the call fee in advance before using the call service provided by the communication carrier, and the prepaid call charge is actually deducted after the user successfully uses the service.

Among them, the calling service includes a calling service and a called service. The calling service initiates paging, which is the traditional Italian book.

In the sense of "calling", the called service is paged, that is, in the traditional sense of "answering the phone."

In the process of implementing the present invention, the inventors have found that the prior art has at least the following problems:

At present, landline telephones have basically realized one-way charging. When conducting a call service, the communication carrier deducts the calling fee of the calling user. In the call of the mobile terminal, the one-way charging has not been fully implemented, that is, when the call service is performed, the called user is also deducted from the call charge. Since the called call is unpredictable, it is often the case that the mobile terminal is forced to be terminated during the called call because the call charge is insufficient, and the called user cannot immediately recharge the call charge. Important events that may affect users, poor service experience for users, and lack of humanity. Summary of the invention

In order to solve the problem that the called user experience is poor in the existing prepaid mode, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method and apparatus for controlling a called call of a mobile terminal. The technical solution is as follows:

A method for controlling a called call of a mobile terminal, the method comprising:

When the call balance of the called user is less than a preset value, paging the terminal corresponding to the call forwarding number preset by the called user, and prompting the called user to transfer the call;

Disconnecting from the called user, establishing a call of the calling user to the terminal corresponding to the call forwarding number. A device for controlling a called call of a mobile terminal, the device comprising:

a paging module, configured to: when the called party's credit balance is less than a preset value, paging the terminal corresponding to the call forwarding number preset by the called user; a prompting module, configured to prompt the called user to transfer the call;

And a re-establishment module, configured to disconnect the connection with the called user, and establish a call of the calling user to the terminal corresponding to the call forwarding number. The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: when the call balance of the called user is less than the preset value, the call is transferred to the call forwarding number preset by the called user, so that the called user can be free from arrears. The impact of the call disrupts the call, affects the handling of important events, and gives the user a good user experience and is more user-friendly. DRAWINGS
