Description

Short message filtering method in mobile terminal

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the field of mobile communications, and more particularly to a method for filtering short messages by a mobile terminal. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The development of mobile communication technologies has brought about significant changes in the way people communicate, making communication between people more convenient and faster. At the same time, with the advent of short message technology; it has greatly enriched the way people communicate. However, with the deepening of short message applications, many kinds of advertising information and spam have begun to flood people's mobile phones. This creates interference and damage to people's daily communication needs. In order to avoid harassing short messages (messages) to the end user, some terminals have given short message filtering techniques. This short message filtering technique is based on a user-preset list of user numbers and a method of arranging short messages sent by numbers in this list to avoid receiving short messages from users in the list. This short message blocking method has a certain effect on the filtering of the harassing short message, and filters out the short message sent by the terminal user who explicitly states that the user number is not desired to be accepted. However, this short message filtering method relies on the user's maintenance of each number in the user number list. Whenever the user wants to filter out one of the numbers, the user list modification operation is complicated. At the same time, the advertisement short message unknown to the user, especially the service station short message; cannot be filtered because the service station number of the short message cannot be known in advance. In order to achieve more efficient short message filtering, the service station short message is purposefully shielded; the present invention provides a method for short message filtering based on short number matching. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems. Therefore, a main object of the present invention is to provide a method for filtering short messages in a mobile terminal, including: Step S102, after receiving a short message by the mobile terminal, Extracting the number information of the short message sender from the short message; Step S104, comparing the first N bits of the extracted number information with the number segment in the short number library, if the first N bits of the number information are the same as the number segment, prompting The user receives a short message and will short

1 P17180 The information is stored in the inbox. Step S104 may further include: if the first N bits of the number information are different from the number segment, comparing the number information with the exception number in the exception number library, and if the number information is the same as the exception number, prompting the user to receive the short message and Short messages are saved to the inbox, otherwise short messages are blocked. Shielding of short messages can be achieved by directly deleting the masked short messages or by creating a specific folder in the mobile terminal to store the masked short messages. The length of the first N bits may be equal to the length of the number segment in the short number library. The length of the first N bits can be 2 bits or 3 bits. The number segment in the short number library can be preset according to the statistical number information or set by the user. The method of prompting the user to receive a short message may include ringing, vibration, video, or light. The mobile terminal does not prompt the user to perform a mask on the short message. The mobile terminal prompts the user to perform masking of the short message in a different method than the method of prompting the user to receive the short message. Through the above technical solution, it is possible to filter the short message such as the information station advertisement short message.克 ^ ^ The terminal's SMS firewall function can only filter the short message of the explicit number. Other features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and The objectives and other advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by the <RTI The drawings are intended to provide a further understanding of the invention, and are intended to be a part of the description of the invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are intended to illustrate and illustrate the invention. 1 is a flow chart showing a method for filtering short messages in a mobile terminal according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a method for filtering a short message in a mobile terminal is provided. The method includes: Step S102: After receiving a short message, the mobile terminal extracts the number information of the short message sender from the short message; Step S104, The first N bits of the extracted number information are compared with the number segments in the short number library. If the first N bits of the number information are the same as the number segment, the user is prompted to receive the short message and store the short message in the inbox. Step S104 may further include: if the first N bits of the number information are different from the number segment, comparing the number information with the exception number in the exception number library, and if the number information is the same as the exception number, prompting the user to receive the short message and Short messages are saved to the inbox, otherwise short messages are blocked. The shielding of short messages can be achieved by directly deleting the shredded short messages or by creating a specific folder in the mobile terminal to store the displayed short messages. The length of the first N bits may be equal to the length of the number segment in the short number library. The length of the first N bits can be 2 bits or 3 bits. The number field of the same number will be stored in the number library of the setting number. For example, the number field in the number library 1 includes: "13", "15" or the number library 2 includes: "131""132""133""135""137""138""139""159" and so on. The number segment in the short number library can be preset according to the statistical number information or set by the user.

3 P17180 The method of prompting the user to receive a short message may include ringing, vibration, video, or light. The mobile terminal does not prompt the user to perform a mask on the short message. The mobile terminal prompts the user to perform masking of the short message in a different method than the method of prompting the user to receive the short message. 2 shows a flow chart of a short message filtering method based on number matching, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, in step 201, the terminal receives a new short message from the network through the wireless communication module; the terminal extracts the short message sender's number from the sender field according to the short message format. In step 202, the terminal extracts the first N-digit number from the number according to the sender's number extracted from the short message, and forms a number segment for performing matching verification. The matching number segment is compared to each stored number segment in the number library. The determination condition of whether the comparison is successful in step 203 is whether the extracted number segment matches any of the stored numbers in the number library. In step 204, the terminal stores the short message in the inbox and prompts the user to receive a new short message. In step 204, the method for prompting the user can be implemented by using various methods such as ringing, vibration, video, and lighting. In step 205, the terminal performs a masking operation on the short message. The terminal may not prompt the user to receive a new short message, or use a different prompting method in step 204 to perform a short message prompt. For processing the content of the short message, the terminal may directly delete the short message or store it in a specific folder. FIG. 3 shows a flow chart of a short message filtering method based on number matching according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, in step 301, the terminal receives a new short message from the network through the wireless communication module; the terminal extracts the short message sender's number from the sender field according to the short message format. In step 302, the terminal extracts the sender's number extracted from the short message, and extracts the first N-digit number from the number to form a number segment for performing matching verification. The matching number segment is compared to each stored number segment in the number library.

4 P17180 The determination condition of whether the comparison is successful in step 303 is whether the extracted number segment matches any of the stored numbers in the number library. In step 304, the terminal stores the short message in the inbox and prompts the user to receive a new short message. In step 304, the method of prompting the user can be implemented by using various methods such as ringing, vibration, video, and lighting. In step 305, the terminal compares the extracted short message sender number with the number in the exception number library. In step 306, if the matching is successful, if any number in the exception number library is the same as the extracted number, the terminal considers success. Otherwise, it is considered unsuccessful. In step 307, the terminal performs a masking operation on the short message. The terminal may not prompt the user to receive a new short message, or use a different prompting method in step 304 to perform a short message prompt. For processing the content of the short message, the terminal may directly delete the short message or store it in a specific folder. The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention, and various modifications and changes can be made to the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and scope of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
