When the mobile terminal receives the call request, it determines whether the number of the call request is automatic. Answer the specified number;

The mobile terminal can set the number selected by the user to automatically answer the designated number according to the user instruction. For example, an automatic answering token can be added to the phone number selected by the user and stored.

Specifically, each time the mobile terminal receives the call request, the mobile terminal may first obtain the number of the call request, and then locally query whether the number of the call request has an automatic answering identifier; if the number has an automatic answering identifier, It is determined that the number of the originating call request belongs to the automatic answering designated number, and the automatic answering can be performed. During the automatic answering process, the answering operation can be performed according to the automatic answering mode set by the user command or the automatic answering mode configured by the system.

It should also be noted that there are various ways to automatically answer the logo. For example, a new automatic answering identifier can be added to the telephone number selected by the user, and no additional identification is needed for other telephone numbers; one can also be added to all telephone numbers. The flag is used to indicate the automatic answering ID only when the value of this flag is a valid value. The embodiment does not impose any limitation on the specific identification manner.

In the following, the specific implementation process of the foregoing method is described by adding an identifier to the automatic value of the identifier. The process is as follows. The method provided in this embodiment includes the following operations:

Step 101: The mobile terminal gives an automatic answering capability to the phone number selected by the user according to the user operation;

In this step, if the user gives the automatic answering permission to the telephone number, the automatic answering flag of the number is set to 1 (that is, set to a valid value), and if the user does not give the automatic answering permission to the telephone number, the automatic numbering of the number is The answer flag position is 0 (that is, it is not a valid value).

Step 102: The mobile terminal encrypts, encodes, and the like the above phone number and the automatic answering flag bit information, and stores the same;

This step enhances the security of the automatic answering function through the encryption encoding process.

Step 103: The mobile terminal receives the call request through the radio network signal, and obtains the calling party number of the call request.

Step 104: Automatically pick up the caller number read by the mobile terminal from the locally stored phone number Whether the return value of the listening flag is 1 (that is, whether it is a valid value), if the automatic answering flag returns 0, no automatic answering behavior is generated, and the normal incoming call reminding process is continued. If the automatic answering flag returns a value of 1, then Go to step 105;

Step 105: Answer the call according to the set automatic answering mode.

The set automatic answering mode may be preset by the user or set by the system by default, for example, automatically answering after a set delay, turning on the hands-free calling mode, and collecting and transmitting voice/video information. Realize the call communication between the calling party and the called party.

It can be seen from the present embodiment that, after adopting the solution of the present application, if an elderly user sets the child's telephone number in advance to allow automatic answering of the number, he may not be able to move to the ground due to sudden illness at a certain day. The child just calls the old man, and the terminal inquires about the caller's number. By automatically answering the sign, it is judged that the number has automatic answering permission, and it is automatically connected. The child can hear the suspected old man's painful voice during the call. I suspect that the elderly may be ill. The old man hears the voice of the child's inquiry through the hands-free calling mode. It also raises the volume to explain his situation. After the child confirms, he calls the ambulance and quickly rushes to the old man. He promptly sends the old man to the hospital for treatment. .

The setting module can add an automatic answering identifier to the number selected by the user and store it. There are various ways to automatically answer the logo. For example, a new automatic answering identifier can be added to the telephone number selected by the user, and no additional identification is needed for other telephone numbers. It is also possible to add an identification bit to all telephone numbers, only when When the value of this flag is a valid value, it is used to indicate the automatic answering ID. The embodiment does not impose any limitation on the specific identification manner.

After the automatic answering identifier is added according to the foregoing manner, the first unit obtains the number of the originating call request, and locally queries whether the number of the call request has an automatic answering identifier, and when the number of the called call request has an automatic answering identifier, the first unit can determine The number that initiated the call request belongs to the automatic answering designated number.

The following describes the working process of the above device to realize automatic answering by adding an identifier bit and indicating the automatic answering identifier by the effective value of the flag bit.

First, the user automatically recognizes the telephone number owned by the mobile terminal. After these telephone numbers are authorized, an additional flag is added: the automatic answering flag is set. If the user gives the automatic answering permission to the telephone number, the number is automatically The answer flag is 1 (that is, set to a valid value). If the user does not give the phone number automatic answering permission, the automatic answering flag of this number is 0 (that is, it is not a valid value), and the automatic answering flag information is associated with the phone number. After processing together (such as encryption, encoding, etc.), it is stored locally in the terminal. When the mobile terminal receives a call request from another device, since the communication service provided by the operator is a number-to-number communication service, the first unit can obtain the calling party's telephone number, and the mobile terminal performs an incoming call reminder, and at the same time The automatic answering flag of the caller number is read by one unit, and the automatic answering flag of the telephone number assigned by the user to the automatic answering authority has a return value of 1, and the telephone number that is not given the automatic answering permission by the user is not stored on the mobile terminal. The return value of the automatic answering flag of the telephone number is 0. By querying the automatic answering flag of the telephone number, the first unit determines whether the automatic answering process is entered: if the automatic answering flag returns 0, the automatic answering process is not entered. The answering behavior needs to be implemented by the user. If the automatic answering flag returns a value of 1, the automatic answering process is entered: after a delay of 3 seconds (that is, the preset automatic answering mode, which can be customized or the system default), the second unit generates an automatic answering action, and completes the specified number. The automatic answering, then open the hands-free calling mode and realize the voice/video call communication between the user and the calling party by collecting and transmitting voice/video information.
