Description

Terminal and operation method

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a terminal and an operating method.

Background

A Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE) is a high-speed wireless communication standard for mobile phones and data terminals. It is based on an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network, using control plane and media plane tailored profiles for voice services over LTE, which enables voice services to be transported as data streams in LTE data-bearing networks without the need to maintain and rely on traditional circuit-switched voice networks. The most immediate experience that VoLTE technology brings to 4G users is shorter turn-on latency, and higher quality, more natural voice-video call effects.

The supplementary service is a service for modifying or supplementing the basic telecommunication service, which is a service function that is provided specifically for the user depending on the basic call and satisfies a specific application scenario, and which cannot be provided to the user separately from the basic call service. Typical supplementary services mentioned in the 3GPP protocol include a number display service, a call forwarding service, a call waiting and call holding service, a multi-party call service, a call barring service, and an incoming call forwarding service.

When a mobile terminal with a inserted VoLTE card is used to operate a call restriction service or an incoming call forwarding service, it needs to operate through a UT interface of a PS (Packet Switch) domain, and this process needs to consume a small amount of data traffic. For example, the inquiry and setting of the call forwarding service refers to inquiring or setting a number to which a call is forwarded and, in what case, forwarding to the number through interaction between the mobile terminal and the network.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram for illustrating a user interface on a terminal (e.g., terminal 100 of fig. 1). In some implementations, a user can open a corresponding application by touching an application icon on the user interface, or can open a corresponding folder by touching a folder icon on the user interface.

Fig. 3 is a flow chart for illustrating a method of operation provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, the operation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes: at a terminal having one or more processors, memory, an input unit, a display unit, and a SIM card:

step 301, receiving a request of a user for operating a supplementary service. The supplementary service is a call restriction service or an incoming call forwarding service.

Step 301 comprises detecting a user input. And if the corresponding user input is detected, the user requests to operate the supplementary service. In some implementations, the user requests to operate the supplementary service by opening a supplementary service setting interface. Wherein, setting the supplementary service and inquiring whether the set supplementary service belongs to the operation supplementary service.

In some implementations, the user input may be a touch operation of the user on the input unit 130. Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram for illustrating a display setting interface of the display unit 140, and a user may request to operate supplementary services for call forwarding by touching a location where "call forwarding" is located in the touch screen 131, or may request to operate supplementary services for call limiting by touching a location where "call limiting" is located.

In some implementations, the user input may also be a voice input by the user. The user requests to operate the supplementary service by inputting voice to the microphone 162, for example, the user may request to operate the supplementary service for call forwarding by saying "please help me open call forwarding setting page", or may request to operate the supplementary service for call restriction by saying "please help me open call restriction setting page".

Step 302, in response to receiving the request: and determining that the data switch is in a closed state, and opening the data switch.

In some implementations, the SIM card supports VoLTE functionality. The terminal using the SIM card supporting VoLTE functions to operate the call restriction service or the incoming call forwarding service needs to operate through the UT interface of the PS domain, which consumes the data traffic of the SIM card. After a request of a user for operating the supplementary service is received, whether the data switch is turned on or not needs to be confirmed, if the data switch is determined to be in the off state, the data switch is turned on, the user does not need to enter a setting page to manually turn on the data switch and then enter a corresponding interface to operate the supplementary service, the user operation is simplified, and the user experience is improved.

It should be appreciated that after receiving a request from a user to operate a supplementary service, if the data switch is determined to be in an open state, the data switch need not be opened.

It should be appreciated that in response to receiving the request for the user to operate the supplementary service in step 302, the steps include: and after the data switch is opened, displaying a corresponding interface for the user to operate the supplementary service on the interface.

In some embodiments, the step 302, in response to receiving the request for the user to operate the supplementary service, includes: and displaying a supplementary service setting interface after the data switch is opened. Before displaying the supplementary service setting interface, whether the supplementary service is set or not needs to be inquired, and different supplementary service setting interfaces are displayed according to whether the corresponding supplementary service is set or not.

In some implementations, a prompt is output to the user that the data traffic is needed to operate the supplementary service. Step 302 specifically includes:

and step 3021, determining that the data switch is in a closed state.

And step 3022, outputting information for prompting the user to use the data traffic for operating the supplementary service.

In some implementations, step 3022 is implemented by popping up a prompt dialog. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a pop-up prompt dialog. In a specific example, if the user touches the location of the "call forwarding" in fig. 4, that is, the user requests to operate the service of call forwarding, a prompt message dialog box shown in fig. 5 pops up, and prompts the user that the supplementary service of call forwarding needs to be operated through the mobile data network, that is, data traffic needs to be used.

Step 3023, receiving a request for the user to continue operating the supplementary service.

In the above example, the user may request to continue operating the supplementary service for call forwarding by touching the "continue" button in fig. 5, or may end the request to operate the supplementary service for call forwarding by touching the "cancel" button in fig. 5.

Step 3024, in response to receiving the request: the data switch is opened.

Fig. 6 and 7 are schematic diagrams for illustrating an incoming call forwarding setting interface. In the above example, if the user touches the "continue" button in fig. 5, that is, the user requests to continue operating the supplementary service for call forwarding, an interface as shown in fig. 6 or fig. 7 is displayed.

It should be appreciated that if the user has previously set an answer to no-one to forward the call to number 1368800, the interface shown in FIG. 6 is displayed after the user has touched the "continue" button in FIG. 5; if the user has not previously set the supplementary service for incoming call forwarding, the interface shown in fig. 7 is displayed after the user touches the "continue" button in fig. 5. As can be seen from section a of the interfaces shown in fig. 6 and 7, the data switch has been opened. Fig. 8 is an enlarged view for illustrating a portion a in fig. 6 and 7. In some implementations, the appearance of the data switch identification 700 in fig. 8 means that the data switch is in an open state and the disappearance of the data switch identification 700 means that the data switch is in a closed state.

Fig. 9 and 10 are diagrams for illustrating setting up a supplementary service. In the above example, if the user has not previously set the supplementary service of the incoming call relay, the interface as shown in fig. 7 is displayed after the user touches the "continue" button in fig. 5. If the user wants to set the busy line, the user switches the call to the number 1368800, and may touch the location of "busy line" in fig. 9, and the interface after the setting is completed is shown in fig. 10.

In some implementations, in response to receiving the request for continuing to operate the supplementary service from the user, the step 3024 further includes: and recording that the user continues to operate the supplementary service through the prompt message. In some implementations, this may be recorded by setting the value of a flag bit, for example the value of gsm.

In some implementations, to prevent the data switch from being still open after the user finishes operating the supplementary service, which may cause consumption of data traffic, the data switch needs to be closed in time. Step 3024 is followed by the steps of:

step 303, determining that the user finishes operating the supplementary service.

In some implementations, if the user detects that the supplementary service interface is exited, the user is said to end operating the supplementary service.

And step 304, determining that the user continues to operate the supplementary service through the prompt message before, and closing the data switch.

In step 304, it is actually the data switch that is turned on under the determined condition, and if it is determined that the user continues to operate the supplementary service through the prompt message before, it means that the data switch is turned on in step 3024, that is, the data switch is not turned on by the user manually, and in this condition, the data switch needs to be turned off. If the situation is not the case, the data switch is actively opened by the user, and in this case, the data switch does not need to be closed.

In some implementations, the determination that the user has previously continued to operate the supplementary service via the notification information can be made by determining the value of the flag bit. In the above example, it can be determined by judging that the value of gsm.cf.data.enable is true. In some implementations, since exiting the supplementary service interface means that the corresponding activity is finished, and the endmost () function is called, the value of the flag bit can be determined in the endmost () function.

In some implementations, if it is recorded in step 3024 that the user continues to operate the supplementary service through the prompt message, step 304 further includes: the record in step 3024 is cleared. In the above example, the record in step 3024 may be cleared by assigning the value of gsm.cf.data.enable to false.
