More or fewer components may alternatively be implemented. Elements of the mobile terminal will be described in detail below.

The wireless communication unit 110 typically includes one or more components that allow radio communication between the mobile terminal 100 and a wireless communication system or network. For example, the wireless communication unit may include at least one of a broadcast receiving module 111, a mobile communication module 112, a wireless internet module 113, a short-range communication module 114, and a location information module 115.

The broadcast receiving module 111 receives a broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information from an external broadcast management server via a broadcast channel. The broadcast channel may include a satellite channel and/or a terrestrial channel. The broadcast management server may be a server that generates and transmits a broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information or a server that receives a previously generated broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information and transmits it to a terminal. The broadcast signal may include a TV broadcast signal, a radio broadcast signal, a data broadcast signal, and the like. Also, the broadcast signal may further include a broadcast signal combined with a TV or radio broadcast signal. The broadcast associated information may also be provided via a mobile communication network, and in this case, the broadcast associated information may be received by the mobile communication module 112. The broadcast signal may exist in various forms, for example, it may exist in the form of an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB), an Electronic Service Guide (ESG) of digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H), and the like. The broadcast receiving module 111 may receive a signal broadcast by using various types of broadcasting systems. In particular, the broadcast receiving module 111 may receive a broadcast signal by using a signal such as multimedia broadcasting-terrestrial (DMB-T), digital multimedia broadcasting-satellite (DMB-S), digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H), forward link media (MediaFLO)^@) A digital broadcasting system of a terrestrial digital broadcasting integrated service (ISDB-T), etc. receives digital broadcasting. The broadcast receiving module 111 may be constructed to be suitable for various broadcasting systems that provide broadcast signals as well as the above-mentioned digital broadcasting systems. The broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information received via the broadcast receiving module 111 may be stored in the memory 160 (or other type of storage medium).

The mobile communication module 112 transmits and/or receives radio signals to and/or from at least one of a base station (e.g., access point, node B, etc.), an external terminal, and a server. Such radio signals may include voice call signals, video call signals, or various types of data transmitted and/or received according to text and/or multimedia messages.

The short-range communication module 114 is a module for supporting short-range communication. Some examples of short-range communication technologies include bluetooth^TMRadio Frequency Identification (RFID), infrared data association (IrDA), Ultra Wideband (UWB), zigbee^TMAnd so on.

The location information module 115 is a module for checking or acquiring location information of the mobile terminal. A typical example of the location information module is a GPS (global positioning system). According to the current technology, the GPS module 115 calculates distance information and accurate time information from three or more satellites and applies triangulation to the calculated information, thereby accurately calculating three-dimensional current location information according to longitude, latitude, and altitude. Currently, a method for calculating position and time information uses three satellites and corrects an error of the calculated position and time information by using another satellite. In addition, the GPS module 115 can calculate speed information by continuously calculating current position information in real time.

The a/V input unit 120 is used to receive an audio or video signal. The a/V input unit 120 may include a camera 121 and a microphone 1220, and the camera 121 processes image data of still pictures or video obtained by an image capturing apparatus in a video capturing mode or an image capturing mode.

In addition, a device having an identification module (hereinafter, referred to as an "identification device") may take the form of a smart card, and thus, the identification device may be connected with the mobile terminal 100 via a port or other connection means. The interface unit 170 may be used to receive input (e.g., data information, power, etc.) from an external device and transmit the received input to one or more elements within the mobile terminal 100 or may be used to transmit data between the mobile terminal and the external device.

In addition, when the mobile terminal 100 is connected with an external cradle, the interface unit 170 may serve as a path through which power is supplied from the cradle to the mobile terminal 100 or may serve as a path through which various command signals input from the cradle are transmitted to the mobile terminal. Various command signals or power input from the cradle may be used as signals for recognizing whether the mobile terminal is accurately mounted on the cradle. The output unit 150 is configured to provide output signals (e.g., audio signals, video signals, alarm signals, vibration signals, etc.) in a visual, audio, and/or tactile manner. The output unit 150 may include a display unit 151, an audio output module 152, an alarm unit 153, and the like.

Depending on the particular desired implementation, the mobile terminal 100 may include two or more display units (or other display devices), for example, the mobile terminal may include an external display unit (not shown) and an internal display unit (not shown). The touch screen may be used to detect a touch input pressure as well as a touch input position and a touch input area.

The audio output module 152 may convert audio data received by the wireless communication unit 110 or stored in the memory 160 into an audio signal and output as sound when the mobile terminal is in a call signal reception mode, a call mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, or the like. Also, the audio output module 152 may provide audio output related to a specific function performed by the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.). The audio output module 152 may include a speaker, a buzzer, and the like.

The alarm unit 153 may provide an output to notify the mobile terminal 100 of the occurrence of an event. Typical events may include call reception, message reception, key signal input, touch input, and the like.

For example, the alarm unit 153 may provide an output in the form of vibration, and when a call, a message, or some other incoming communication (incomingmunication) is received, the alarm unit 153 may provide a tactile output (i.e., vibration) to inform the user thereof. By providing such a tactile output, the user can recognize the occurrence of various events even when the user's mobile phone is in the user's pocket. The alarm unit 153 may also provide an output notifying the occurrence of an event via the display unit 151 or the audio output module 152.

The memory 160 may store software programs and the like for processing and controlling operations performed by the controller 180, or may temporarily store data (e.g., a phonebook, messages, still images, videos, and the like) that has been or will be output. Also, the memory 160 may store data regarding various ways of vibration and audio signals output when a touch is applied to the touch screen.

Also, the mobile terminal 100 may cooperate with a network storage device that performs a storage function of the memory 160 through a network connection.

The controller 180 generally controls the overall operation of the mobile terminal. For example, the controller 180 performs control and processing related to voice calls, data communications, video calls, and the like. In addition, the controller 180 may include a multimedia module 1810 for reproducing (or playing back) multimedia data, and the multimedia module 1810 may be constructed within the controller 180 or may be constructed separately from the controller 180. The controller 180 may perform a pattern recognition process to recognize a handwriting input or a picture drawing input performed on the touch screen as a character or an image.

The power supply unit 190 receives external power or internal power and provides appropriate power required to operate various elements and components under the control of the controller 180.

The various embodiments described herein may be implemented in a computer-readable medium using, for example, computer software, hardware, or any combination thereof. For a hardware implementation, the embodiments described herein may be implemented using at least one of an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), a Digital Signal Processing Device (DSPD), a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a processor, a controller, a microcontroller, a microprocessor, an electronic unit designed to perform the functions described herein, and in some cases, such embodiments may be implemented in the controller 180.

The software codes may be implemented by software applications (or programs) written in any suitable programming language, which may be stored in the memory 160 and executed by the controller 180.

Up to this point, mobile terminals have been described in terms of their functionality. Hereinafter, a slide-type mobile terminal among various types of mobile terminals, such as a folder-type, bar-type, swing-type, slide-type mobile terminal, and the like, will be described as an example for the sake of brevity. Accordingly, the present invention can be applied to any type of mobile terminal, and is not limited to a slide type mobile terminal.

The mobile terminal 100 as shown in fig. 1 may be configured to operate with communication systems such as wired and wireless communication systems and satellite-based communication systems that transmit data via frames or packets.

A communication system in which a mobile terminal according to the present invention is operable will now be described with reference to fig. 2.

Such communication systems may use different air interfaces and/or physical layers. For example, the air interface used by the communication system includes, for example, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) (in particular, Long Term Evolution (LTE)), global system for mobile communications (GSM), and the like. By way of non-limiting example, the following description relates to a CDMA communication system, but such teachings are equally applicable to other types of systems.

Referring to fig. 2, the CDMA wireless communication system may include a plurality of mobile terminals 100, a plurality of Base Stations (BSs) 270, Base Station Controllers (BSCs) 275, and a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) 280. The MSC280 is configured to interface with a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) 290. The MSC280 is also configured to interface with a BSC275, which may be coupled to the base station 270 via a backhaul. The backhaul may be constructed according to any of several known interfaces including, for example, E1/T1, ATM, IP, PPP, frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL, or xDSL. It will be understood that a system as shown in fig. 2 may include multiple BSCs 2750.

Each BS270 may serve one or more sectors (or regions), each sector covered by a multi-directional antenna or an antenna pointing in a particular direction being radially distant from the BS 270. Alternatively, each partition may be covered by two or more antennas for diversity reception. Each BS270 may be configured to support multiple frequency allocations, with each frequency allocation having a particular frequency spectrum (e.g., 1.25MHz,5MHz, etc.).

The intersection of partitions with frequency allocations may be referred to as a CDMA channel. The BS270 may also be referred to as a Base Transceiver Subsystem (BTS) or other equivalent terminology. In such a case, the term "base station" may be used to generically refer to a single BSC275 and at least one BS 270. The base stations may also be referred to as "cells". Alternatively, each sector of a particular BS270 may be referred to as a plurality of cell sites.

As shown in fig. 2, a Broadcast Transmitter (BT)295 transmits a broadcast signal to the mobile terminal 100 operating within the system. A broadcast receiving module 111 as shown in fig. 1 is provided at the mobile terminal 100 to receive a broadcast signal transmitted by the BT 295. In fig. 2, several Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites 300 are shown. The satellite 300 assists in locating at least one of the plurality of mobile terminals 100.

In fig. 2, a plurality of satellites 300 are depicted, but it is understood that useful positioning information may be obtained with any number of satellites. The GPS module 115 as shown in fig. 1 is generally configured to cooperate with satellites 300 to obtain desired positioning information. Other techniques that can track the location of the mobile terminal may be used instead of or in addition to GPS tracking techniques. In addition, at least one GPS satellite 300 may selectively or additionally process satellite DMB transmission.

As a typical operation of the wireless communication system, the BS270 receives reverse link signals from various mobile terminals 100. The mobile terminal 100 is generally engaged in conversations, messaging, and other types of communications. Each reverse link signal received by a particular base station 270 is processed within the particular BS 270. The obtained data is forwarded to the associated BSC 275. The BSC provides call resource allocation and mobility management functions including coordination of soft handoff procedures between BSs 270. The BSCs 275 also route the received data to the MSC280, which provides additional routing services for interfacing with the PSTN 290. Similarly, the PSTN290 interfaces with the MSC280, the MSC interfaces with the BSCs 275, and the BSCs 275 accordingly control the BS270 to transmit forward link signals to the mobile terminal 100.

Based on the above mobile terminal hardware structure and communication system, the embodiment of the present invention is mainly applied to a mobile terminal with an SIM card capable of performing a call, where the mobile terminal may be a smart phone, a smart watch, a handset, a tablet computer, and the like, but is not limited thereto.

The device and the method provided by the embodiment of the invention aim to solve the technical problems that in the prior art, the call charge is not changed, the charge is abnormal and the experience degree of a user is reduced due to no prompt.

The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with specific examples. The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a first embodiment of a call reminding device provided by the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, including: the system comprises an acquisition module 10, a query module 20 and a reminding module 30;

the obtaining module 10 is configured to obtain the location information of the terminal and confirm the attribution range of the location information of the terminal in the process of a call or dialing of the terminal.

Specifically, the obtaining module 10 obtains the location information of the terminal during a call or a dialing process of the terminal, and may obtain whether the current mobile terminal is in a roaming state to a network side through modulation and demodulation of the terminal, and obtain the current location information of the terminal through a Global Positioning System (GPS) or a wireless communication network, and may also determine the current location information of the terminal through a feature of a base station to which the terminal is connected, but is not limited thereto.

The acquiring module 10 acquires the location information of the terminal, compares the location information with the home location of the terminal, and determines that the location information is in the province where the home location is not located, for example: the home location of the mobile phone used by the user is Xian, when the user calls, the user can obtain the position information of the user, if the user is at the great goose tower of the Xian, the user can obtain that the mobile phone of the user is not in a roaming state, and can know that the position information of the user is in the city of the Xian, the user can use the call time (namely the local call time) or the flow rate of the home location, if the user is at the Beijing, the user can obtain that the mobile phone of the user is in the roaming state, and can know that the position information of the user is not in the city of the Xian, the user can not use the local call or the flow rate, or if the user is in the suburb area of the Xian, when the user enters the city of the Xian from the suburb, the user can know whether the user can switch to the local call or the flow rate in the call process by obtaining the position information of the user, but is not limited thereto.

The query module 20 is configured to query the home session time or the traffic usage status of the terminal when the confirmed result is not in the home range of the terminal.

Specifically, after confirming the attribution range of the location information of the terminal, if it is confirmed that the location information of the terminal is not in the attribution range of the terminal, the query module 20 queries the attribution call time or traffic use state of the terminal, wherein the attribution call time or traffic use state of the terminal can be queried by sending a short message, and then a query receipt short message of an operator is searched for a keyword or a correct expression, so as to confirm whether the terminal has the attribution call time or not, or the attribution call time or traffic can be queried by means of a webpage, and then the method of searching for a keyword by a correct expression or the like is used to query the attribution call time or traffic use state of the terminal, where the use case can include how many minutes the attribution call time of the month, how many megabytes of traffic, and how many minutes of used attribution call time, how many megabits of traffic have been used, how many minutes of home talk time have not been used, how many megabits of traffic have not been used, how many minutes of home talk time can be overdrawn, how many megabits of traffic can be overdrawn, and the like, but is not limited thereto.

The reminding module 30 is configured to send a reminder that the call time of the terminal home location or the traffic use state exceeds the standard if the queried result exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Specifically, when the result obtained after receiving the query by the query module 20 exceeds a predetermined threshold, for example: the local call time of the phone charged by the user in this month is 300 minutes, or the flow of the phone in this month is 500 million, when the used local call time of the inquired result exceeds 300 minutes or the flow exceeds 500 million, the local call time given to the user by the operator every month is 100 minutes, or the flow given to the phone by the operator every month is 50 million, when the used local call time of the inquired result exceeds 100 minutes or the flow exceeds 50 million, a prompt that the local call time or the flow exceeds the standard is sent to the phone, after the prompt is given, the call switching can be carried out when the used local call time of the user exceeds the standard, the call can be hung up, or the flow use is stopped when the used flow exceeds the standard, but not limited to this.

The reminding module 30 may use a pop-up prompt box to remind, or pop-up prompt tone to remind, etc., but is not limited thereto.
