Description

Short message-based information saving method and mobile terminal

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method for saving information based on a short message and a mobile terminal.

Background technique

At present, mobile phones have become popular, and everyone usually uses mobile phones to communicate with each other. However, for some reasons (such as work transfer, moving, lost mobile phones, etc.), mobile phone users may sometimes have to change their mobile phone number, and the first task after changing the number is to let their friends and family know and update their new ones in the first time. The number, in order to contact in the future. If their friends and family do not save their new number in the first place, it will affect future communication.

The existing method of notifying friends and relatives when changing the number of mobile phones is usually to send a new number to the relatives and friends by sending a short message. After receiving the short message, the good friend updates and saves the new number. There are two possible ways to save the current update:

(1) One method is the manual input method, in which the number to be saved is recorded first, and then the new number is saved in the phone book. This kind of method is very inconvenient, and the elderly who are generally unfamiliar with the function of the mobile phone often do this;

(2) Another way is to save the number by using the number extraction function provided by the mobile phone. The steps are as follows: First, open the short message, then open the action menu, select the extracted number, and finally select the number to be saved from the extracted number. save. This process is very cumbersome. Although it is not necessary to copy the number in the first way, it is very inconvenient for users who are not familiar with the function of the mobile phone due to the complicated operation flow.

In summary, the above two methods have the following disadvantages:

(1) The operation methods are relatively cumbersome. The first method requires manual copying of numbers, and the second method has too many operation steps. It is not convenient for users to save new numbers sent by others;

(2) It is easy to cause forgetting, because the number is located in the text message, the user needs to open the text message to save the number, and once it is not saved in the first time because of busy work, etc., then The period has been forgotten, and when the number of short messages is full, the text messages are all deleted accidentally, which will cause the new number sent by others to be deleted, and it will be inconvenient to contact them in the future.

Similarly, many mobile phones can store other contact information such as QQ number, home address, and fixed telephone number in the phone book.

The mode information update is saved to the phone book.

Of course, the above-mentioned update and save action may be performed after the user at the receiving end confirms, that is, after receiving the short message, the receiving end can determine that the contact information is saved by the flag bit, and then the user can be notified in the form of a pop-up prompt, such as " ***New contact information, please save", and then know that the user confirms the selection and save, execute the above update and save process.

In order to implement the above process, the sending and receiving processes of the short message need to be modified, and some function options supporting the above embodiments are added to add the related information items of the short message. Specifically, the implementation of the present embodiment can be divided into two parts: a sending end sends a new contact method through a short message, and a receiving end receives a contact information through a short message.

(1) The process by which the sender sends a new contact method via SMS:

It is necessary to add a menu option for implementing the functions of the foregoing embodiment on the sending end, and the user can send the special short message proposed by the above embodiment by using the menu selection, in order to distinguish from the ordinary short message, the short message is The first section of the content is reserved as a flag, as follows:

First, in order to achieve the above functions, three function menu selection items need to be added at the transmitting end: (1) content pushing mode, (2) the number pushing mode, and (3) the second information pushing mode. Explain the three menu function items as follows:

(1) Content Push Method: It means to send a new number to friends and relatives with the old card. In this case, you need to enter a specific new number in the SMS edit page; of course, you can also provide an interface for the user to enter their name. , so that the other party can identify;

(2) This number push method means that this number for sending SMS is the new number to be used in the future. In this case, you only need to input the original mobile phone number when editing the SMS. Of course, an interface can also be provided for the owner to enter his or her name;

(3) The second information push mode means that the short message is sent to the other party to modify the second information, wherein the second information includes: QQ number, MSN account number, email address, microblog account number, home address One or any combination. The specific information also needs to be combined with the contact settings allowed in the phone book in the existing model.

Secondly, in order to realize the identification of the above three special short messages, it can be realized in a relatively simple manner, that is, the first byte of the short message content is vacated as a flag bit, which is used to save the category of the short message sent by the user, for example, assuming the short message category If the definition is as shown in Table 1, if the user selects the content push, the number push, and the second information push mode function items when sending the short message, the sender sets the value of the corresponding flag bit to a non-zero value, such as 1. 2 or 3.

Table 1 SMS type and corresponding value

If the user wants to send a new contact information to friends and relatives by SMS, the user must first The situation selects one of the above three function items (content push, this number push, second information push), and the sender sets the short message flag to the corresponding value, and enters the edit message page after selecting the function item, if the user If the content push mode is selected, at least the new phone number needs to be entered. If the number push mode is selected, only the phone number can be sent. If the second message push is selected, the new second message needs to be input.

(2) The process of receiving the SMS to save the number at the receiving end:

In the above embodiment, the receiving end is mainly responsible for receiving the short message, identifying the corresponding short message sending mode according to the value of the flag bit, and popping up a prompt for the user to select the update and saving, and when the update is saved, the new recording process of the phone book needs to be implemented. Or update the record process as follows:

First, when the receiving end receives the short message, it determines whether the value of the flag bit indicates the information notification mode. If not, it processes according to the normal short message receiving process. If yes, the content pushing mode, the number pushing mode, and The second information notification method is distinguished. If the content is pushed, the new phone number is read from the short message. If the number is pushed, the sender number is extracted and the original number is extracted from the short message. The second information notification method extracts the second information from the short message, and then saves it to the temporary variable, and prompts "*** new contact method, please save" in the standby interface, and starts after confirming that the user selects "yes" Update the contact information.

Then, the update process for the new contact method is completed, including:

(1) If it is a content push mode, the new phone number information is used to update the phone number information in the record corresponding to the phone number information of the sender in the local phone book;

(2) If it is the number push mode, the phone number information of the sender is used to update the phone number information in the record corresponding to the old phone number information in the local phone book;

(3) If it is the second information notification mode, the new information is used to update the corresponding information item in the record corresponding to the telephone number information of the sender in the local phone book. That is, if a new QQ number is sent, the QQ number entry in the corresponding record in the phone book is updated.

In addition, the user can also input his name information through the sending end, and the name information can be sent to the receiving end as the short message content together with the contact information input by the user. In this case, the following processes can also be included: (1) If it is a content push mode, if the receiving end cannot find the corresponding record in the local phone book according to the phone number information of the sender, a new information including the name information and the new phone number may be created in the phone book. record of;

(2) If it is the number push mode, if the receiving end cannot find the corresponding record in the local phone book according to the old phone number information, a new phone number including the name information and the sender may be created in the phone book. Record of information;

(3) If it is the second information notification mode, if the receiving end cannot find the corresponding record in the local phone book according to the phone number information of the sender, a new one in the phone book is included in the phone book and the new number is included. The record of two information.
