Description

Mobile communication method and device for receiving incoming calls in shutdown charging mode

The invention relates to a mobile communication method and device, and more particularly to a mobile communication method and device for receiving an incoming call in a shutdown charging mode.

With the advancement of technology, the volume and weight of electronic products have been greatly reduced. In order to make it easy for users to carry around, portable electronic products use batteries to supply the power required for operation during most of their use. Once the power is exhausted, the battery needs to be replaced or recharged to continue operation.

Mobile communication devices, smart phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and other mobile communication devices provide a power-on charging mode and a power-off charging mode. In the power-on charging mode, all components in the mobile communication device are turned on and function normally, and complete communication can be performed through the RF chip and the nearby base station. If there is any incoming call or message during the power-on charging, the user can immediately answer the call or reply to the newsletter.

In the shutdown charging mode, most of the components in the mobile communication device will be turned off, and this will not be connected to the nearby base station, so the incoming call cannot be answered in time. In the prior art, when the mobile communication device is charged in the off state, the connection with the base station is established after the power is turned on, and then the base station can transmit the missed call information during the shutdown to the mobile communication device in a short message. However, if there are any important calls during the shutdown charge, the user cannot reply immediately, so the best processing opportunity may be missed.

The present invention provides a method for receiving an incoming call in a shutdown charging mode, comprising: a mobile communication device, after entering the shutdown charging mode, supplying a first power to maintain a basic communication with a base station; the mobile communication device After receiving an incoming call notification from the base station, providing a corresponding one of the incoming call messages; and after the mobile communication device leaves the shutdown charging mode, supplying a second power to maintain a complete communication with the base station, Wherein the first power is lower than the second power.

The present invention further provides a mobile communication device for receiving an incoming call in a shutdown charging mode, comprising a power supply for supplying a first power and a second power; and a wireless communication module for entering the shutdown charging Receiving the first power after the mode to maintain a basic communication with a base station, and receiving the second power after leaving the shutdown charging mode to maintain a complete communication with the base station, wherein the first power is low The second power; a decoding unit configured to analyze the basic communication to determine whether a signal transmitted from the base station is related to an incoming call notification; a display device for displaying an incoming call message related to the incoming call notification And a control unit for controlling the power supply, the wireless communication module, the decoding unit, and the operation of the display device.

1 is a functional block diagram of a mobile communication device 100 in the present invention. The mobile communication device 100 includes a power supply 10, a wireless communication module 20, a decoding unit 30, a control module 40, a screen 50, an indicator light 60, and a sound effect unit 70. A bootloader program can be installed in the mobile communication device 100. The control module 40 can control the components to operate in a shutdown charging mode or a power-on charging mode. The power supply 10 can be a built-in battery or a built-in rechargeable battery for one of the mobile communication devices 100.

2 is a flow chart of the mobile communication device 100 operating in the shutdown charging mode according to the first embodiment of the present invention, which includes the following steps: Step 210: Entering the shutdown charging mode.

Step 220: Determine whether a power-on command is received: if yes, go to step 270; if no, go to step 230.

Step 230: Start a specific communication between the specific components in the wireless communication module to maintain a basic communication with a base station, and perform step 240.

Step 240: Determine whether an incoming call notification is received from the base station: if yes, go to step 150; if no, go to step 220.

Step 250: Provide an incoming call message, and perform step 220.

Step 270: Exit the shutdown charging mode and execute a booting process, and execute step 220.

Step 280: Initiate all components within the mobile communication device 100 to maintain complete communication with the base station.

In step 210, the user may elect to charge the mobile communication device 100 in the off state. In the present invention, the mobile communication device 100 can turn off all components in the off-charge mode, or only a small amount of power can be supplied to inform the current state of charge on the screen 50 or using the indicator light 60.

In step 220, the mobile communication device 100 determines whether a power-on command is received. For example, if the user presses the power button during the shutdown charging, step 270 is performed to leave the shutdown charging mode and enter the normal booting process, thereby turning on all components in the mobile communication device 100. If no power-on command is received during shutdown charging, step 230 is performed.

In step 230, the control module 40 activates specific components within the wireless communication module 20 to maintain basic communication with the base station BS. For example, the power supply 10 can supply a small amount of power to a radio frequency chip set 22 and a power amplifier 24 in the wireless communication module 20 to open a channel of a specific bandwidth, thereby establishing a connection with the base station BS.

In step 240, the decoding unit 30 can analyze the basic communication to determine whether the received signal from the base station BS is related to an incoming call. If the mobile communication device 100 determines that the signal received from the base station BS is an incoming call notification, step 250 is performed to provide an incoming call message. For example, the mobile communication device 100 can display an incoming call message in a text or a pattern on the screen 50, or can use the sound effect unit 70 to emit a caller tones.

If it is determined in step 240 that no incoming call notification has been received from the base station BS, or after step 250 is performed, the present invention performs step 220 again. In other words, in the power-off mode, the mobile communication device 100 of the present invention can continuously monitor whether there is an incoming call. When the user receives the incoming call message in step 250, if the user decides to answer the incoming call, the power-on command can be issued. The device 100 leaves the shutdown charging mode in step 270 to perform the booting process, and then proceeds to step 280 to maintain complete communication with the base, allowing the user to immediately answer the incoming call.

FIG. 3 is a flow chart of the mobile communication device 100 operating in the shutdown charging mode according to the second embodiment of the present invention, which includes the following steps: Step 210: Enter a shutdown charging mode.

Step 220: Determine whether a power-on command is received: if yes, go to step 270; if no, go to step 230.

Step 230: Start a basic communication between a specific component in the wireless communication module and a base station, and perform step 240.

Step 240: Determine whether an incoming call notification is received from the base station: if yes, go to step 250; if no, go to step 220.

Step 250: Provide an incoming call message, and perform step 260.

Step 260: Determine whether the power supply of the power supply is higher than a predetermined value: if yes, go to step 270; if no, go to step 220.

Step 270: Exit the shutdown charging mode and execute a booting process, and perform step 280.

Step 280: Initiate all components within the mobile communication device 100 to maintain complete communication with the base station.

In the second embodiment of the present invention, the manners of performing steps 210 to 250, 270, and 280 are similar to those of the first embodiment, and are not described herein. The second embodiment of the present invention further includes a step 260. After the incoming call message is provided in step 250, the mobile communication device 100 determines in step 260 whether the power of the power supply 10 is higher than a predetermined value. If the power supply of the power supply 10 is higher than the predetermined value when the incoming call notification is received, step 270 can be directly executed to execute the booting process, so that the user can immediately answer the incoming call. The predetermined value can be determined by the minimum power required for the mobile communication device 100 to answer the call.

After entering the shutdown charging mode, the mobile communication device 100 of the present invention activates some components to maintain basic communication with the base station. Since the power required to maintain basic communication is much less than the power required to maintain complete communication, the present invention can monitor incoming calls at any time during shutdown charging, so that the user can answer important incoming calls in a timely manner without affecting the overall charging efficiency.

The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all changes and modifications made to the scope of the present invention should be within the scope of the present invention.
