Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a method, system, and terminal for calling an incoming call. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Call service is the most common service in mobile phones. When the calling party (also called the calling party and the calling party) initiates a call to the called party (also called the called party), the called party receives the incoming party notification on the network side, and generates a call ringtone and a caller picture, in the incoming call. The information such as the caller number notified by the network side is generally displayed on the screen. After the called party answers, both parties enter the call state. From the perspective of network signaling, the signaling flow of a general voice call is shown in Figure 1. The terminal first requests the network side to establish a radio resource control (radio resource control, referred to as RRC) connection. After the connection is established, the call management (call manager, referred to as CM) is initiated to the network side by the call management service request (CM SERVICE REQUEST) signaling. The request, after receiving the call management service acceptance (CM SERVICE ACCEPT) signaling on the network side, the terminal initiates a session setup message (SETUP) signaling to the network side. This message mainly includes the session identifier (Ή), bearer capability, called subscriber number, called subscriber subaddress, traffic identifier (SI), and some parameters related to ordinary calls. The message "CALL PROCEEDING" indicates that the network has received all the information required by the terminal (User Equipment, UE for short) to establish a call, and is processing the information. The network side then sends a SETUP message to the called party, including Ή, bearer capability, calling number, called number, and some parameters related to the ordinary call. After receiving the message, the receiver performs compatibility check on the received message. If the condition is met, the call is accepted and a call confirmation (CALL CONFIRMED) message is replied to the network side. The subsequent "Alerting" indicates that the called party has ringed. When the called party answers, it reports to the network side that the connection is completed (CONNECTED), and the network side also sends a CONNECTED to the calling party. After both parties confirm, the call setup is completed. The above is a brief introduction to the normal voice call setup process. There is a clear disadvantage in the existing processes and applications, that is, the caller cannot control the urgency of the call, and the called party cannot make a call whether the call needs to be urgently answered. Judge.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict. 2 is a flowchart of an incoming call reminding method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the method may include the following steps. Step S202: setting an emergency signal, where the emergency signal is used to indicate the urgency of the current call, and the urgency is used to control the manner in which the called party reminds the current call; Step S204: Carrying the emergency signal in The call signalling of the originating process is sent. Through the above steps, the calling end can complete the control of the current call urgency of the called end by setting the emergency signal in the call signaling during the process of actively initiating the call, thereby solving the prior art calling end. When the call is made, the technical problem of the urgency of the outgoing call cannot be controlled, and the technical effect of controlling the call reminding mode of the called end according to the setting of the calling party is achieved. Since there is an unused reserved value in the SETUP signaling in the protocol, the reserved value of the field may be used to deliver the message. Therefore, as a preferred implementation manner, the call signaling in step S202 may be in the call linking process. The establishment of session message (SETUP) signaling, of course, can not only carry emergency signals using SETUP signaling, for example, it can also carry the emergency signal through other signaling during the call. Preferably, the emergency signal is used to indicate or increase the number of consecutive missed calls of the call number, wherein the urgency level increases as the number of consecutive missed connections increases. This method is convenient and fast, and can be considered in combination with other consecutive missed calls of the current calling number, and the accuracy is high. Of course, those skilled in the art should understand that the emergency signal can not only use the consecutive missed numbers of the current incoming call corresponding number. The number of times indicates that there are other representation methods, such as direct text prompts or screen prompts. In the embodiment of the method, the called end receives the setup signaling sent by the network side, and after receiving the success, parses the setup signaling to include the call number information preset by the calling end (that is, the number of consecutive missed times). If the number of call times is not included in the setup message, the number of consecutive missed times of the number may not be changed. At this time, the called end may determine the urgency of the current call according to the number of consecutive missed times of the number, for example, one can be set. The more consecutive numbers of consecutive missed numbers, the higher the urgency of the current call, and the number of consecutive missed times of the number when the current call is still missed; and if the caller preset is included Call number information, you can directly change the number of missed times of the current caller number according to the number of calls resolved, or you can also call the current call. The number of missed times of the number is adjusted. For example, the call number information preset by the calling terminal may be superimposed on the missed number of the current caller number. Preferably, in step S202, the urgency is used to control the manner in which the called party reminds the current call, wherein the reminding manner includes at least one of the following: determining the ringing mode according to the urgency level, for example, adjusting according to the urgency Ringing volume, ringing frequency, etc.; determining the display content of the screen according to the urgency level; determining the vibration mode according to the urgency level. FIG. 3 is a description of the difference in the presentation manners for different call times. As shown in FIG. 3, the called party can actively set different ring tones, vibrations, or screen display contents according to the number of missed connections. Preferably, if the emergency signal is used to increase the number of consecutive missed times of the current caller's corresponding number, in this case, after the caller successfully answers, the number of missed calls of the caller number may be cleared. 4 is an embodiment of an incoming call alerting system provided by the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the system includes a setting module 400, a sending module 402, and a reminding module 404. The setting module 400 is configured to set an emergency signal, wherein the emergency signal is used to indicate the urgency of the current call, and the urgency is used to control the manner in which the called party reminds the current call. The sending module 402 is configured to carry the emergency signal in the call signaling of the originating process for transmission. The reminder module 404 is configured to perform an incoming call reminder according to the emergency signal. Figure 5 is an embodiment of a called terminal provided by the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the terminal includes a call management module 501, a missed counting module 502, an incoming call alert control module 503, and a user interface module 504. The call management module 501 receives the sent call setup message (setup) signaling from the network side, and after receiving the success, parses the setup signaling to include the caller preset call number information. If the call number information is not included in the setup signaling, the number of missed times of the number in the missed counting module 502 may not be changed. For example, if the call number information is included, the missed count may be directly changed according to the number of times the call is resolved. The number of missed times in module 502. The call management module 501 notifies the incoming call reminding module 503 to initiate an incoming call reminder. The incoming call reminding module 503 then queries the missed number of times in the missed counting module 502. If there is a missed number of records for the number in the missed counting module 502, the corresponding incoming call reminder is initiated according to the corresponding number of missed calls, if the call is made The management module 501 does not find the call number information in the call request forwarded from the network side, and searches for the number of missed times recorded in the current missed count module 502 for the number, and controls the call alert control module on the user interface according to the number of missed connections. Play the corresponding ringtone, screen, vibration, etc. If the incoming call is not successfully answered by the called user, the missed counting module 502 adds 1 to the number of missed calls of the calling number and saves; if the incoming call is successfully answered, the missed counting module clears the missed information of the number, that is, It can also be understood that the number of missed times of the number is reset to zero. The last user interface module 504 displays the corresponding incoming call screen, ring tone, and vibration prompts on the user interface according to the incoming call reminder initiated by the incoming call reminding module 503. The picture switching may generate different visual effects according to different information of the contact operation. The picture switching determines whether to switch to the previous picture or switch to the next picture according to other information in the operation information that is different from the information that controls the picture switching effect. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a user interface of an incoming call alerting device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention; as shown in FIG. 6, in the called interface 601, a difference from the normal called interface display is: The called interface includes a prompt area 6011 for accumulating consecutive missed times of the calling number, and the number of consecutive unsuccessful times of the number is displayed in the area, so that the called party can directly learn from the called screen. information. Figure 7 shows a way to obtain the number of missed calls set by the calling party from the network side, and thus control the called party's incoming call reminder. The advantage of this method is that if the calling party has an emergency during the call, it can pass The method of actively changing the number of missed calls causes the called party to obtain the information set by the calling party before the missed call by changing the manner of the screen and the sound. However, this method requires the network side to support the forwarding of the setup message containing the number of missed connections, which may not be implemented in the network that has not been processed. Thus, the embodiment of Fig. 7 presents a minimalist implementation from the perspective of a flow chart, i.e., the solution of the present embodiment is accomplished without any modification at the calling and network side. The main steps are shown in Figure 7:

S702: After receiving the call setup signaling sent by the network side, the calling party number is parsed normally from the message.

S704: Query the cumulative number of missed calls of the calling party number in the local machine.

S706: After obtaining the cumulative number of missed times of the number, query the corresponding call reminding scheme.

S708: The call reminding scheme is played on the user interface. S7012: If the user successfully answers, the accumulated missed number of the number is cleared.

S7014: Normally enters the call.

S7016: Conversely, if the user does not answer the call, the accumulated missed number of the number is incremented by 1, so that when the caller is called again next time, the call alert different from this time will be played. In the above embodiment, an implementation method for extracting the cumulative number of missed calls set by the calling party from the setup signaling sent by the called party is proposed. According to the prior art, the calling party sends the setup to the network side. Signaling, after the network receives it, it resolves it and forwards it to the called party according to its own processing rules. Only when the calling party supports setting the cumulative number of missed connections, and adding the set result to the call signaling (the most direct way is to join To the lj setup signaling), while the network side supports parsing and forwarding the signaling, the called party can receive the setup signaling with the accumulated number of missed connections. Although the called party can not receive the setup signaling, it can also change the incoming call reminder according to the accumulated missed number by means of self-counting, but the corresponding processing of the calling party and the network side is undoubtedly also explained in the embodiment of the present invention. One aspect of it. The call alerting system provided in this embodiment further includes a network side device, configured to parse the received call signaling after the emergency signal is carried in the signaling of the originating process. The network side device acquires the current call number included in the call signaling and the consecutive missed times corresponding to the number, and sends the consecutive missed times to the called end. A network side device capable of processing setup signaling with the number of missed connections is also provided. The network side device (such as the MSC) can parse the call number information included in the setup signaling initiated by the calling party according to a predetermined protocol, and forward the call signaling sent by the network side to the called party to the called party. . Before the call is initiated, the user can actively set the number of missed times of the number from the user interface (UI). When the user sets the number of missed calls, when the call is initiated, the number of missed calls is transmitted to the network side by the call setup signaling. If the user does not set the number of missed calls when the call is initiated, no changes are made to the setup signaling. FIG. 8 is an interface operation example 1 of the present invention for modifying the cumulative number of missed connections by the calling party. As shown in FIG. 8 , a character can be actively input after dialing the number without changing the existing dialing menu layout (eg, #) way to input the cumulative number of unsuccessful times of the active setting. For example, 4 # is entered in Figure 7, indicating that the cumulative number of unanswered calls for this call is set to 4 to indicate to the called party that the call is more normal. More urgent. 9 is an example 2 of an interface operation for modifying the cumulative number of missed calls by the calling party according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 9, it is another embodiment in which the calling party actively inputs the cumulative number of missed calls, for example, dialing at the calling party. The "Expedite" icon for urgent, follow-up is set in the menu. When the user enters the call number, click the icon to enter the call expedited setting interface. On this interface, the user can actively input the cumulative number of missed calls as the sign of the call expeditation, and dial the outgoing call. An aspect of the present invention further provides a terminal, where the terminal includes a setting module, a sending module, and a reminding module of the call reminding system, where the terminal can control the urgency of the outgoing call, and can pass the urgency of the incoming call. Different ring tones, vibrations and screen displays to remind you. The embodiment of the present invention can enable the calling terminal to control the urgency of the outgoing call, and can use the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention to actively send a message to the other party, so that the called party can not send the call before the call is answered. I found that the call is different from the normal call. Another aspect of an embodiment of the invention changes the present The caller interface ringtone and the single screen cannot distinguish the status of the information that the same number is not connected, so that the called user can judge how many times he has not received the other party according to the information such as the ringtone screen. From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments achieve the following technical effects (it is required that the effects are achievable by some preferred embodiments): The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention can be effectively In the related technology, the calling terminal cannot determine the urgency of the incoming call, and increases the way of the incoming call reminder, which brings great effects to the user experience. 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. INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present invention can be applied to the field of communications, and solves the technical problem that the calling terminal cannot control the urgency of the outgoing call when making a call in the related art, thereby achieving the control of the calling party. The degree of urgency is effective to improve the user experience.
