The implementation of the invention

The present invention relates to a method for setting a mode for voice calling, starting a data service and transmitting a short message when the dual-mode mobile communication terminal is in a standby state in the 3G (third generation) mobile communications area. Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1 is a block diagram of modules of one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the structure comprises a memory module 101, a mode setting module 102, and a display module 103.

A memory module 101 is used to store the setting value of the mobile terminal mode.

The mode setting module 102 associated with the memory module 101 is used to set the modes of the mobile phone according to different types of services when the mobile terminal is in a standby state and store the mode setting value in the memory module 101.

The display module 103 associated with the mode setting module 102 is used to display the set mode.

FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C respectively relate to block diagrams of a display interface of the present invention, wherein FIG. 2A is a display of the standby screen, and the standby menu of this screen contains menu options “mode”, “menu” and “cardholder” in the mode setting interface shown in FIG. 2B, you can enter by selecting the menu option "mode", and in the mode setting interface, the terminal user can set the modes of the mobile phone. FIG. 2C is the menu display interface after setting the mode to dual standby.

The mode setting interface shown in FIG. 2B may include one or more of the following modes:

(1) operating mode,

(2) voice call mode,

(3) short message transmission mode,

(4) data service start mode.

The successful installation interface shown in FIG. 2C, contains two modes, i.e., TD-SCDMA and GSM, wherein TD-SCDMA refers to time division multiple access - synchronous code division.

For dual-mode single-standby, the menu setting is single-mode. When the mobile terminal makes a call, the single mode setting can be ignored, or the single mode is automatically set to a single standby mode for operation.

The memory module 101 stores the mode setting option in the memory of the mobile terminal.

When the mobile terminal is turned on for the first time, the initial mode of the mode setting module 102 can be automatically set to any of the standby modes selected for the first start and stored in the memory of the mobile terminal. Each time a mobile phone is subsequently turned on, the mode setting module 102 reads the aforementioned installation value from the memory and compares it with the mode in which the mobile terminal is in the standby state, and if no corresponding mode value is included in the standby modes, then the module 102 mode settings can automatically set the mobile terminal mode to any of the standby modes or leave it vacant so that the terminal user selects when processing services.

When a terminal user initiates a call, the mobile terminal can make a regular call according to a mode set in advance without setting a mode for each call, which allows the terminal user to have dual-mode functions of dual-mode mobile phones and also experience the convenience and flexibility of dual-mode mobile phones. Different types of service modes can be set differently, and different types of service modes can also be set the same, so that the functions and user-friendly interface of the dual-mode mobile phones can be improved.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of setting a voice call mode in a bimodal dual standby state of the present invention, which describes a universal method for setting up modes for services of different types of bimodal mobile phones for free, wherein the mobile terminal can make a regular call according to a mode set in advance when the terminal initiates a call , and there is no need to set a mode for each call. This method comprises the following steps.

Step 301, direct selection of the mode setup menu option in the standby mode and entering the mode setup menu in which the displayed modes can contain all or part of the following modes, or the options of similar service modes can also be added:

nl) operating mode

n2) voice call mode,

n3) short message transmission mode,

n4) data service start mode.

At this point, the terminal user can select any of the above modes for installation. In the present embodiment, the terminal user selects a voice call mode.

Step 302, the mode setting module compares the current standby mode and the service mode previously set by the terminal user, automatically sets the mobile phone to any of the standby modes (the service mode for the first start of the mobile phone can be automatically set to any of the selected standby modes for the first start, or remain vacant) if no corresponding mode value is in standby modes, and displays an optional mode menu on the screen and marks the current set The default mode in the Mode menu.

Step 303, assessing whether the terminal user needs to select the mode again, if so, then the step continues, otherwise the terminal user immediately selects the call and proceeds to step 306 if it is detected that the desired mode was already the default mode or only exists one selectable mode.

Step 304, the terminal user selects the desired mode and presses the confirmation button.

Step 305, the display module displays a successful installation interface.

Step 306, action.

In the aforementioned Step 301, in the mode setting menu, it is possible to distinguish between different types of services for setting different modes, which assists the terminal user in the flexible management of call modes used by various types of services to save payments for a mobile phone and increase network speed.

In the aforementioned Step 301, various call mode setting sub-items may be selected, for example, voice call mode, short message transmission mode, and data service start mode.

In the aforementioned Step 303, only in the dual standby state the menu is displayed on the screen for the terminal user to select a mode, and the terminal user is notified by marking which mode is the current default operating mode.

In the above Step 304, if the desired mode is not the current default mode, and there are several selectable modes, then the desired mode is selected.

In the above Step 305, the successful setup interface comprises two modes, i.e., TD-SCDMA and GSM.

The aforementioned method of setting the dual-mode mobile phone mode allows the terminal user to select different modes for calling according to different types of services so that the terminal user can have more options, which allows the terminal user to experience the convenience of a dual-mode mobile phone and also avoid the complexity of the software implementation.

In the dual-mode dual standby state, the terminal user selects the mode setup menu, and selects the default default modes, and then selects the voice call sub-item, the mobile phone mode setting module calculates which mode can be used for the call by reading the service setting in the module memory, determines the current default mode, informs the display module, displays the mode selection menu on the screen, and marks the current default mode for the user to select. The terminal user selects the appropriate mode according to individual requirements and presses the virtual selection button so that the mode installation module saves the mode selected by the user in the memory module of the mobile phone, and at the same time informs the display module to display a notification about the successful installation of the corresponding mode. When voice calls are subsequently made, the currently selected voice call mode can be used for the call without a new selection. This not only reflects dual-mode characteristics, but also satisfies different user requests for services of different types without a choice for each call. The terminal user, of course, can change the default mode at any time before the call.

By introducing a selectable menu interface for terminal users, the present invention simplifies the architecture of application-level software and background processes, makes the human-machine interface more user-friendly, shortens the development period of dual-mode mobile phones, increases the development efficiency of dual-mode mobile phones and reduces the development cost.

The foregoing descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, the use of which does not limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various changes and variations. Any changes, equivalent replacements, enhancements, etc. within the essence and principle of the present invention, all are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
