Previous mobile phone; ^ (mobile phone) is a communication tool commonly used by modern people, and with the increasing popularity of mobile phones, the SMS function provided by it is more and more widely used. Because text messaging is a convenient, fast, and cost-effective way to exchange information, the use of text messages by users has gradually expanded to such occasions as sending blessings, noting notes, or chatting. However, when a user sends a text message, the status of the other phone is usually unknown. In other words, when the user sends a text message, the person receiving the text message may just turn off the phone, and it is inconvenient to answer the phone when the meeting is in progress, or the mobile phone is not around, so the person receiving the text message cannot respond to the received message in the first time SMS. For the sender of the text message, these situations become the inconvenience of being unable to wait for the reply of the message after sending the text message, or not knowing whether the other party has received the text message sent by himself. Therefore, for users, a mobile phone operation method that can automatically reply to text messages when necessary can bring them great convenience. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for a mobile phone to automatically reply to a short message. This method can automatically reply to received short messages when necessary. The invention proposes a method for automatically replying a short message to a mobile phone, which is suitable for

Ptd Page 8 576118 V. Description of the Invention (4) _ A lot of time spent replying to text messages. However, in order to obtain better results, many settings can be added. For example, the judgment made in step S 104 may be to determine whether to send a reply message according to whether the sender of the short message is in a preset list, or to determine the sender of the short message first. Whether it has been answered before, and then decide whether to send a reply message based on the result of the judgment. Of course, both judgment mechanisms can be implemented together. In addition, the procedure mentioned in the foregoing step S 106 can also respond to the corresponding default text message according to the user status set on the mobile phone, and these user statuses can include emergency Transaction mode, mobile phone departure mode and other modes. Furthermore, if the status of the mobile phone is considered to be off, the related communication system can be notified when the mobile phone is off. If the short message is to be delivered to the phone that was shut down when the phone was shut down, the aforementioned communication system can send a reply message on its behalf. In addition, if you consider that the user does not want the phone to automatically reply to text messages, you can also add an option in the user interface to set whether the phone automatically responds to text messages. Next, please refer to FIG. 2, which shows a flowchart of an implementation method according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention. It must be noted that although this embodiment unifies all the functions mentioned in the above embodiments and becomes a method for mobile phones to automatically reply to text messages with excellent capabilities, those skilled in this art should know that such integration The result is not the only one. Anyone should adjust the aforementioned functions whether they are added and the integration order of the added functions according to the needs of the environment.
10528twf.ptd 第9頁 576118 五、發明說明（5) Λ 在第2圖所示之實施例中，若於步驟S 2 0 2收到一條短 _ 信，則先在步驟S 2 0 4中判斷手機是否被設定為自動回覆短 信。若手機沒有被設定為自動回覆短信，則流程進入步驟 S 2 2 8以等待人工回覆；但若手機被設定為自動回覆短信， 則於步驟S 2 0 6中判斷剛收到的短信的發送者是否和未讀短 信中的發送者相同。 經過步驟S 2 0 6的判斷，若剛收到的短信的發送者與未 讀短信中的任一位發送者相同，則判斷是否又有收到短信 (步驟S 2 0 8 )，若此時有收到短信，則回頭執行步驟S 2 0 4， 否則執行步驟S 2 1 0。此外，若在步驟S 2 0 6的判斷中發現剛 收到的短信的發送者與未讀短信中的任一位發送者都不 同，則進行步驟S 2 2 0以延遲一段時間。這段延遲時間是可 以由使用者所預先設定好的。而由於有了這一段延遲時 間，所以使用者就可能在這段時間内對於此條短信做人工 回覆，因此，在步驟2 2 0延遲一段時間之後，還必須以步 驟S 2 2 2來判斷此一短信是否已被人工.回覆。若短信已被人 工回覆，則結束此流程；反之，若未被人工回覆，則繼續 步驟S2 1 0。 判斷發送人是否在電話簿中的步驟S 2 1 0係為了過濾掉 電話薄中沒有紀錄的短信發送者。如此一來，使用者就無 須煩心因接收到一般商業廣告短信而耗費發送短信所需的 成本。在步驟S210中，若發現短信的發送者並不在電話薄 中，則進行步驟S 2 1 8以等待人工回覆，否則即進入步驟 S212 °10528twf.ptd Page 9 576118 V. Description of the invention (5) Λ In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, if a short _ letter is received in step S 2 0 2, first judge in step S 2 0 4 Whether the phone is set to automatically reply to text messages. If the mobile phone is not set to automatically reply to the short message, the process proceeds to step S 2 2 8 to wait for a manual reply; but if the mobile phone is set to automatically reply to the short message, the sender of the newly received short message is determined in step S 2 06. Is it the same as the sender in the unread message? After the judgment of step S 2 06, if the sender of the short message just received is the same as any of the unread short messages, then it is determined whether another short message has been received (step S 2 0 8). If a short message is received, go back to step S 2 0 4, otherwise go to step S 2 1 0. In addition, if it is found in the judgment of step S206 that the sender of the newly received short message is different from any one of the unread short messages, step S220 is performed to delay for a period of time. This delay time can be preset by the user. And because of this delay time, the user may manually reply to this text message within this period of time. Therefore, after a period of delay in step 2 2 0, it is necessary to judge the step S 2 2 2 A message has been manually answered. If the text message has been manually responded, the process ends; otherwise, if there is no manual reply, then step S2 10 is continued. Step S 2 10 of determining whether the sender is in the phone book is to filter out the sender of the short message that is not recorded in the phone book. In this way, users do not need to worry about the cost of sending short messages because they receive general commercial short messages. In step S210, if it is found that the sender of the short message is not in the phone book, go to step S 2 1 8 to wait for a manual reply, otherwise go to step S212 °
10528twf. ptd 第10頁 576118 五、發明說明（6) ， 步驟S 2 1 2係判斷手機是否關機，此一功能係由與手機 相關的通訊系統，包括基地台，來執行。由於手機在關機 時會發出一組訊號給基地台以使基地台記錄該手機係處於 關機狀態。因此，若手機設定有自動回覆功能，則基地台 可以在收到短信時代替手機回覆手機已關機的訊息。當步 驟S 2 1 2判斷出手機已經關機，而且在基地台中記錄該手機 啟動關機自動回覆短信功能時，流程即進入步驟S 2 1 4以判 斷此短信的發送者是否已被回覆過。若是，則進行步驟 S 2 1 8以等待人工回覆，否則即進入步驟S 2 1 6而由相關通訊 系統代為傳遞回覆訊息。 步驟S 2 2 4與步驟S 2 1 4相同，皆是用以判斷此短信的發· 送者是否已被回覆過。若是，則進行步驟S230以等待人工 回覆，否則即進入步驟S 2 2 6以根據手機中所設定的使用者 狀態來選擇回覆的模式與訊息。 在本實施例中，使用者狀態可以分為緊急事物處理模 式S2 3 2、手機離身模式S2 34與其他模式S2 3 6，而各種模式 也有其相對應的回覆訊息S2 3 8、S24 0與S242。這些使用者 狀態與相對應的回覆訊息都可以由使用者預先加以設定， 因此可以讓使用者視不同的情況而靈活的運用。 此外，本發明所提供的方法尚可以通過設定回覆範圍 來決定是否自動回覆。這些回覆範圍的決定模式除了上述 以一個預先設定的名單，如電話薄來決定之外，還可以是0 一種時間決定模式，亦即，先由使用者自行設定一段時 間，而在這段時間内只對相同的使用者回覆一次。10528twf. Ptd Page 10 576118 V. Description of the Invention (6) Step S 2 1 2 determines whether the mobile phone is turned off. This function is performed by the communication system related to the mobile phone, including the base station. When the mobile phone is turned off, it will send a set of signals to the base station to make the base station record that the mobile phone is in the off state. Therefore, if the mobile phone is set with an automatic reply function, the base station can reply to the message that the mobile phone is turned off instead of the mobile phone when receiving a text message. When it is determined in step S 2 1 2 that the mobile phone has been turned off and the mobile phone is recorded in the base station to start the auto-reply SMS function for shutdown, the process proceeds to step S 2 1 4 to determine whether the sender of the short message has been responded to. If yes, go to step S 2 18 to wait for a manual reply, otherwise go to step S 2 16 and the relevant communication system will pass the reply message on behalf of it. Step S 2 2 4 is the same as step S 2 14 and both are used to determine whether the sender or sender of the short message has been replied. If yes, go to step S230 to wait for a manual reply, otherwise go to step S 2 2 6 to select the reply mode and message according to the user status set in the mobile phone. In this embodiment, the user status can be divided into emergency transaction processing mode S2 3 2, mobile phone departure mode S2 34 and other modes S2 3 6 and each mode also has its corresponding reply message S2 3 8, S24 0 and S242. These user states and corresponding reply messages can be set in advance by the user, so they can be flexibly used by users according to different situations. In addition, the method provided by the present invention can also determine whether to reply automatically by setting the reply range. In addition to the above-mentioned decision mode of the response range, in addition to the above-mentioned predetermined list, such as the phone book, it can also be a time decision mode, that is, the user first sets a period of time, and during this time Reply to the same user only once.
