The invention relates to an incoming call firewall control system and method, in particular to a mobile phone incoming call firewall control system and method.

Mobile phones have now become a communication tool that is inseparable from people's work and life. However, harassing calls and incoming calls that are inconvenient to answer in special cases, such as calls during a meeting or during sleep, can also cause problems for users. At present, the firewall technology in the mobile phone reduces the occurrence of such a problem to some extent, but the current firewall technology has simple filtering rules for incoming calls, and usually only a few numbers can be set in the list as the reject number for a certain period of time, and It is not possible to answer or reject only the numbers in the list at different times. For example, only answer the call from the boss during the meeting, or only receive calls from relatives while on vacation. This makes it impossible for users to meet the need for flexible filtering of incoming calls at different times for different situations.

In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a mobile phone call firewall control system, which can flexibly filter mobile phone calls at different time periods to meet the filtering requirements of users in different situations.

Referring to FIG. 1, it is a running environment diagram of a preferred embodiment of the mobile phone call firewall control system of the present invention.

In the present embodiment, the mobile phone 1 includes a memory 2 and a microprocessor 3. The microprocessor 3 is for processing various software programs stored in the memory 2 to perform various functions of the mobile phone 1 and process data. In the present embodiment, the software program stored in the memory 2 includes a communication unit 10, a mobile phone call firewall control system 20, and an application program 30.

The communication unit 10 is configured to implement the functions of the mobile phone 1 to communicate with other communication devices, including calling, sending and receiving messages, browsing web pages, and the like. When the mobile phone 1 calls, the communication unit 10 can know the incoming call time and the incoming call number through the communication carrier of the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card in the mobile phone 1.

The application 30 runs in user mode and interacts with the user with a visual user interface. In the present embodiment, the application 30 includes an address book 40 and a setting function table item 50.

Address Book 40 contains a list of contacts' names and numbers. The setting function item 50 provides an interface for the user to set the function of the mobile phone 1, and receives setting information input by the user. For example, the user can set the working mode and language selection of the mobile phone 1.

The user can edit the filtering rule by setting the function table item 50 and store the filtering rule in the memory 2. The filter rule includes a name, a selected filter list, and a time range defined by the filter rule.

The filter list is stored in the memory 2 and is one of the answer list or the reject list. The use of the answer list indicates that only the number of incoming calls in the answer list is answered, and the reject list is used to indicate that only the number of incoming calls in the rejected list is rejected. The user can select one of the answer list or the reject list as a filter list by setting the menu item 50, and select a number from the address book 40 to join the filter list.

For example, during the conference, the user only answers the call of the customer and the boss, the user can edit a filter rule named “meeting”, select the answer list, and select the number of the specified customer and the boss from the address book 40 to join the answer list. And edit the filter rule to limit the time range to a certain day's meeting time.

The user can initiate multiple filtering rules in the mobile phone 1 that do not conflict with each other. After the edit filter rule is completed, if there is no conflict between the started filter rule and the edited filter rule, the edited filter rule can be started.

When the mobile phone 1 calls, the mobile phone incoming call firewall control system 20 reads the incoming call time and the incoming call number from the communication unit 10. If the incoming call time is within a time range defined by a certain activated filtering rule, the mobile phone incoming call firewall control system 20 is based on The activated filtering rule determines whether the incoming call number is in the answer list or the reject list to determine whether to answer the incoming call.

The microprocessor 3 can control the mobile phone 1 to access the incoming call and remind the user, or control the mobile phone 1 to reject the incoming call.

Referring to FIG. 2, it is a functional module diagram of a preferred embodiment of the mobile phone call firewall control system of the present invention. The mobile phone call firewall control system 20 includes an editing module 201, a conflict determination module 202, an execution module 203, an answer determination module 204, a reading module 205, and an answering module 206.

The editing module 201 is configured to edit the filtering rule, including editing the name of the filtering rule, selecting a filtering list, selecting a specified number from the address book 40 to join the filtering list, editing a time range defined by the filtering rule, and filtering the filtering The rules are stored in the memory 2.

The conflict determination module 202 is configured to determine whether at least one activated filter rule exists in the mobile phone 1.

The conflict determination module 202 is further configured to determine whether there is at least one activated filter rule conflicting with the edited filter rule when at least one activated filter rule exists in the mobile phone 1. The conflict with the edited filter rule means that in the same time range, the activated filter rule and the edited filter rule have different rules for answering or rejecting the same number.

The method for judging whether there is at least one activated filtering rule conflicting with the edited filtering rule is: determining whether there is an intersection between a time range defined by the activated filtering rule and a time range defined by the edited filtering rule, if not existed If the time range defined by the initiated filtering rule intersects with the time range defined by the edited filtering rule, it is determined that there is no at least one activated filtering rule that conflicts with the edited filtering rule.

If there is an intersection between the time range defined by the activated filtering rule and the time range defined by the edited filtering rule, it is further determined whether the filtering list in the activated filtering rule is consistent with the filtering list in the edited filtering rule. The consistency means that the filter list in the activated filter rule is the same as the filter list in the edited filter rule, and the number in the list is exactly the same. If the filter list in the activated filter rule is consistent with the filter list in the edited filter rule, it is determined that there is no at least one activated filter rule conflicting with the edited filter rule; if the activated filter rule is The filter list does not match the filter list in the edited filter rule, and it is determined that at least one activated filter rule conflicts with the edited filter rule.

For example, a filter rule that has been activated is limited to a certain day from 15:00 to 16:00. The filter list in the activated filter rule is an answer list, and only three numbers of A, B, and C are in the answer list. . The edited filter rule is limited to the same day from 15:00 to 17:00. If the filtered list in the edited filter rule is also an answer list containing only the three numbers A, B, and C, then on that day 15 The activated filter rule and the edited filter rule in the period from 00 to 16:00 stipulate that only incoming calls of numbers A, B, and C are received, and the activated filter rule does not conflict with the edited filter rule. If the filtered list in the edited filter rule is an answer list containing only two numbers, A and B, the activated filter rule will only accept A, B, and C during the period from 15:00 to 16:00. The number of incoming calls, and the edited filter rules stipulate that only incoming calls of both numbers A and B are answered, and calls from other numbers including C are rejected. The activated filter rule conflicts with the edited filter rule.

The execution module 203 is configured to: when there is no at least one activated filtering rule, or when there is no at least one activated filtering rule conflicting with the edited filtering rule, Start the edited filter rule.

The execution module 203 is further configured to determine whether the edited filter rule is still to be started when there is at least one activated filter rule colliding with the edited filter rule.

If the edited filter rule is still to be launched, the execution module 203 starts the edited filter rule and closes the activated filter rule that conflicts with the edited filter rule. If the edited filter rule is not activated, the execution module 203 exits the edited filter rule.

The answer determination module 204 is configured to determine whether at least one filter rule has been activated when the mobile phone 1 calls.

The reading module 205 is configured to read the incoming time and the incoming call number from the communication unit 10 when at least one filtering rule has been activated. The communication unit 10 knows the incoming call time and the incoming call number through the communication carrier.

The answering decision module 204 is further configured to determine whether the incoming call time is within a time range defined by at least one activated filtering rule.

The answering decision module 204 is further configured to determine whether to access the incoming call according to the filtered list and the incoming call number in the activated filtering rule when the incoming call time is within a time range defined by the at least one activated filtering rule. When the filtered list in the activated filtering rule is the answering list, if the incoming call number is in the answering list, the incoming call is accessed, and if the incoming call number is not in the answering list, the incoming call is rejected. When the filter list in the activated filter rule is a reject list, if the caller number is in the reject list, the call is rejected, and if the caller number is not in the reject list, the call is accessed.

The answering module 206 is configured to: when the at least one filtering rule is not activated, or determine the incoming call When the time is not within the time range defined by the activated filtering rule, or according to the filtering list and the incoming call number in the activated filtering rule, when the incoming call is determined to be sent, the access command is sent to the microprocessor 3, and the processing is performed. The device 3 accesses the incoming call according to the access command and reminds the user.
