METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR LEAVING MESSAGES

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The disclosure relates to the field of communication technology, and particularly to a method and system for leaving a message.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

When a user makes a call by a phone, a called user may not answer the call in time due to various reasons. After the calling user hangs up or the called user rejects answering the call, both the calling user and the called user are unable to know an intention which the call expresses, which results in miscommunication, thereby causing confusion and misunderstanding. In this case, the user can use a function of short message and multimedia message of a cell phone system in a case of wanting to leave a message to the called user, however, this process is cumbersome.

For example, in a case that the short message is used to leave a message, operation steps thereof include:

[1] exiting a phone program and clicking on an icon to enter a short message program;

[2] editing a short message;

[3] selecting and clicking on a phone number of a called user to send the short message; For example, in a case that the multimedia message is used to leave a message, operation steps thereof include:

[1] exiting a phone program and entering a multimedia program to record voice in a case that a multimedia message is used to send a voice information;

[2] returning to an interface of a short message to add the recorded voice into the multimedia message in a form of attachment, selecting and clicking on a phone number of a called user to send the multimedia message;

[3] after the multimedia message is sent, clicking on a multimedia program to enter the multimedia program and playing the voice by a receiving part after the multimedia message is downloaded.

An operation of the process described above is cumbersome for a cell phone user. In addition, since data transmission amount of one short message or one multimedia message is limited, multiple short messages or multiple multimedia messages are sent in a case that content sent by a calling terminal is large, thereby increasing fees, and especially that the fees for the multimedia message is high. Also, in the case described above, the multiple short messages and the multiple multimedia messages are received by a called terminal, thereby having a cumbersome operation.

EMBODIMENTS

The exemplified embodiments of the disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Although the exemplified embodiments of the disclosure are shown in the drawings, it can be understood that the disclosure can be implemented in various ways other than the exemplified embodiments described here. Contrarily, the exemplified embodiments are provided to fully understand the disclosure, and the scope of the disclosure can be conveyed to those skilled in the art completely.

First Embodiment

With reference to FIG. 1, which is a schematic flow diagram of a method for leaving a message according to disclosure, the method includes steps 102 to 108.

In step 102, after a user starts a call process, a connection process of a call made from a calling terminal to a called terminal is monitored, and whether the call is connected is determined; and step 104 is entered in a case that the call is not connected.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, in a case that the user of the calling terminal makes a call, the connection process of the call from the calling terminal can be monitored, and whether the call is connected is determined, the monitoring the connection process is ended in a case that the call is connected. A shortcut message-leaving function provided in the disclosure is triggered in a case that the call is not connected.

In practice, in the embodiment of the disclosure, it is regarded that the call is not connected in a case that a user of the called terminal hangs up initiatively, then step 104 is entered. Also, it is regarded that the call is not connected in a case that the user of the calling terminal hangs up initiatively. In this case, whether a time length of the connection process exceeds a threshold can be determined, and step 104 is entered in a case that the time length exceeds the threshold.

Preferably, after a user starts a call process, a connection process of a call made from a calling terminal to a called terminal is monitored, and whether the call is connected is determined includes step A10.

In step A10, a phone management API of a system is called to monitor a voice service in a connection management sub layer of the GSM protocol or in an upper entity of the CDMA, and whether the call is connected is determined.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, a conventional phone communication is monitored, that is, a call function of the cell phone is monitored. For example, in an android system, a phone management API (Application Program Interface) provided by the android system is called to monitor a voice service in a connection management sub layer of the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) protocol or in an upper entity of the CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) 2000. In a case that it is learned that a call is dialed and then hanged up, a time length from dialing the call to hanging up the call is recorded in the voice service in the connection management sub layer or in the upper entity of the CDMA 2000 described above, a call record database of the system is queried, to check whether a value in an answering field of the call in the database represents that the call is connected. In a case that the call is not connected and the user waits for a time length greater than 15 s, the user is prompted to leave a message, and step 104 is triggered.

Alternatively, in an iOS system (a handset device operating system developed by the Apple Inc), similarly, a phone management API (Application Program Interface) provided by the iOS system is called to monitor a voice service in a connection management sub layer of the GSM protocol or in an upper entity of the CDMA 2000, the phone management API of the iOS system can monitor whether the call is connected, therefore, processing in the iOS system is simpler compared with the android system (an open-source operating system on a basis of Linux and JAVA), which only needs that the API is used to monitor a process from dialing the call to hanging up the call, and if the call is not connected, the user is prompted to leave a message in a case that a time length of the process exceeds 15 s.

Preferably, in a case that the call is not connected, step 102 further includes step A12.

In step A12, call duration for the call which is not connected is acquired, and it is determined whether the call duration exceeds a threshold, step 104 is entered in a case that the duration exceeds the threshold.

For example, in a case that the threshold is 15 s described above, and a voice-recording interface of the calling terminal is not triggered in a case that the call duration does not exceed 15 s. Step 104 is entered in a case that the call duration exceeds 15 s.

In step 104, the voice-recording interface of the calling terminal is triggered.

After it is determined in steps described above that the call made by the calling terminal is not connected (further it is determined whether the time length from dialing the call to hanging up the call exceeds the threshold), the voice-recording interface of the calling terminal is triggered.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, in a case that the user uses a terminal such as a cell phone to make a call, a call management interface for making a call is accessed, that is, the calling terminal performs a call-dialing action in a call management process. In a case that it is monitored that the call dialed by the user is not connected, the voice-recording interface of the calling terminal is triggered directly in the call management interface (that is, the call management process), as shown in FIG. 1a, which shows an exemplary interface after the voice-recording interface is triggered.

Practically, the call management interface can be closed first and then the voice-recording interface of the calling terminal is triggered in the embodiment of the disclosure.

In step 106, a voice input of the user is received, and audio data is generated.

In a case that the user wants to leave a voice message, voice is inputted via the voice-recording interface described above, and the calling terminal receives the voice input and then generates the audio data. As shown in FIG. 1a, the user presses on a bottom button, and then accesses an exemplary interface of a voice-recording process as shown in FIG. 1b to leave the message, the exemplary interface of the voice-recording process can display a process such as a voice-recording time length.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, since the audio data is transmitted via the Internet in step 108, a voice file format having smaller compression is selected to serve as a file format for generating the audio data, and the audio data can be stored in a memory card after a voice is recorded.

Preferably, after the voice is recorded, the embodiment further includes a process of determining whether to send the recorded voice. In a case that it is not desired to send the recorded voice, the recorded voice may be deleted, or in a case that the user determines to send the recorded voice, step 108 is entered. In a case that an operation that the user determines to send the recorded voice is received, step 108 is entered, as shown in FIG. 1c, which is an exemplary interface of waiting for the user to click to send the recorded voice.

In step 108, the audio data in the calling terminal is uploaded onto a server via the Internet Protocol, and the server provides the audio data to the called terminal for playing or downloading.

The audio data is uploaded onto the server via the Internet Protocol (such as the IP protocol) in step 108, as shown in FIG. 1d, which is an exemplary interface in which the audio data is sent to the server, as shown in FIG. 1e, which is an exemplary interface in which the audio data is sent by the calling terminal successfully. The server processes the audio data upon receiving the audio data, and then provides the audio data to the called terminal for playing or downloading.

In the embodiment, link information of the audio data processed by the server is sent to the called terminal. The called terminal can download the audio data from the server via the Internet to play in a case that a device (such as 360 safeguard) having a voice-playing function corresponding to the embodiment of the disclosure is installed in the called terminal, as shown in FIG. 1f, which is an exemplary interface in which the voice message is played by the 360 safeguard. The user can also open a corresponding web page via a browser based on the Internet according to the link information to play, as shown in FIG. 1g, which is an exemplary interface in which the voice message is played in a web page of the browser.

In the method for leaving a message according to the disclosure, after the user starts a call, the connection process made from the calling terminal to the called terminal is monitored, and whether the call is connected is determined. The voice-recording interface of the calling terminal is triggered in a case that the call is not connected, and a voice is recorded. The audio data is uploaded onto the server via the Internet protocol, and the server provides the audio data to the called terminal for playing or downloading, thereby solving problems that an operation of the user is cumbersome in a case that a short message or a multimedia message is used to leave a message and fees may be high, achieving beneficial effects of simplifying a operation process and reducing a possibility of high fees by performing data transmission via the Internet. In the embodiment of the disclosure, it is beneficial for the user to perform information interaction with a receiving part in time simply. In a case that the method for leaving a message according to the embodiment of the disclosure is not used, the user needs to perform cumbersome operation steps to send the voice message to the receiving part. However, in a case that the method for leaving a message according to the embodiment of the disclosure is used, only one step is required (in a case that the voice-sending acknowledge interface as shown in FIG. 1c is provided, only two steps are required) to send message information to the receiving part rapidly and conveniently.

Second Embodiment

With reference to FIG. 2 which is a schematic flow diagram of a method for leaving a message according to the disclosure, the method for leaving the message includes step 202 to step 214.

In step 202, after a user starts a call process, a connection process of a call made from a calling terminal to a called terminal is monitored, and whether the call is connected is determined; and step 204 is entered in a case that the call is not connected.

In step 204, the voice-recording interface of the calling terminal is triggered in the calling terminal.

In step 206, the calling terminal receives a voice input of the user and generates audio data.

In step 208, the calling terminal uploads the audio data in the calling terminal onto a server via the Internet Protocol.

In step 210, the server processes the audio data and generates link information corresponding to the audio data, and return the link information to a client terminal via the Internet Protocol.

In step 212, the calling terminal receives the link information sent by the server.

In step 214, the calling terminal sends the link information to the called terminal in a form of short message.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the server processes the audio data uploaded by the calling terminal, that is, the server stores the audio data and allocates the link information to the audio data, and returns the link information to the calling terminal via the Internet Protocol. The calling terminal sends the link information to the called terminal in the form of short message upon receiving the link information.

Preferably, a process of sending the link information to the called terminal in the form of short message includes step B10.

In step B10, the link information is sent to the called terminal in the form of short message by calling a short-message interface in a third-layer protocol of the GSM or the CDMA.

In a case that the user decides to send a voice message, the user uploads the voice message onto the server according to the Internet Protocol, and then the server returns link information to a sending teiniinal after processing the voice message. A client terminal sends the link information to a receiving terminal in the form of short message via the third-layer protocol of the GSM protocol or the CDMA2000 protocol (a connection management sub protocol layer in the third-layer protocol of the GSM, and the third-layer protocol referred to as an upper entity for the CDMA2000), and a window is closed after finishing sending the link information.

In the process described above, the calling terminal only sends the short link information to the called terminal, and the link information does not exceed a volume of a short message, thereby no extra fees are generated. Also, the short-message interface is called automatically to send the link information, thereby no operation of the user are increased.

The called terminal downloads the audio data corresponding to the audio data from the server or plays the audio data corresponding to the link information based on the link information upon receiving the short message. Furthermore, the called terminal further includes step 216.

In step 216, a received short message is monitored, and whether the short message is used for providing the link information of the audio data is determined; and the audio data is requested from the server based on the link information, and the audio data is played to the user, in a case that the short message is used for providing the link information of the audio data.

In the disclosure, a device having a voice-playing function can be installed in the called terminal. In the disclosure, the received short message is monitored, and whether the short message is used for providing the link information of the audio data is determined, and whether the device having the voice-playing function described above is installed in the system is determined. The audio data is requested from the server based on the link information, and the audio data is played to the user in the device, in a case that the short message is used for providing the voice message and the device having the voice-playing function described above is installed in the system. In practice, the user can be prompted whether to play the audio data before playing the audio data, and the audio data is played in a case that the user determines to play the audio data.

Preferably, the called terminal further includes step B12.

In step B12, in a case that at least two short messages for providing link information of the audio data are received, a popup is triggered to remind the user.

In a case that multiple short messages for providing link information of the audio data are received by the called terminal, a popup window is triggered by the called terminal to remind the user.

Alternatively, the called terminal further includes step 218.

In step 218, the user starts a browser to open a web page to play the audio data by clicking on the link information by the user in a case that a short message for providing the link information of the audio data is received.

In practice, in a case that the called terminal does not install the device having the voice-playing function, and the audio data cannot be downloaded directly to play in the disclosure, the user can open the short message and click on the link information, to start the browser to open a web page corresponding to the link information to play the audio data.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the client terminal sends the link information returned by the server to the called terminal automatically, the called terminal downloads the audio data to play the audio data or opens the web page to play the audio data via the Internet upon receiving the short message. In this case, the calling terminal does not need to send the voice message to the called terminal in a form of multimedia message, thereby no extra fees are generated as long as the cell phone is located in an environment of wifi network or is within a range of a GPRS traffic limit thereof and the operation is simplified.

Principles of steps in the embodiment similar to the steps in the first embodiment are similar, which is not described in detail anymore.

Third Embodiment

With reference to FIG. 3, which is a schematic flow diagram of a method for leaving a message according to the disclosure, the method for leaving the message includes step 302 to step 310.

In step 302, after a user starts a call process, a connection process of a call made from a calling terminal to a called terminal is monitored, and whether the call is connected is determined; and step 304 is entered in a case that the call is not connected.

In step 304, a voice-recording interface of the calling terminal is triggered in the calling terminal.

In step 306, the calling terminal receives a voice input of the user and generates audio data.

In step 308, the calling terminal uploads the audio data in the calling terminal onto a server via the Internet Protocol.

In step 310, the server provides link information for the audio data, and sends the link information to the called terminal in a form of short message.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the server can send the link information to the called terminal. The called terminal downloads the audio data corresponding to the link information from the server or plays the audio data corresponding to the link information based on the link information.

Preferably, the process of uploading the audio data in the calling terminal onto a server via the Internet Protocol includes step C10.

In step C10, identity information of the calling terminal is uploaded onto the server.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, in order to prompt the called terminal with which sends a short message received by the called terminal in a case that the short message is sent to the called terminal from the server, the identity information of the calling terminal needs to be uploaded onto the server. Specifically, the identity information of the calling terminal includes identity information such as a phone number.

Furthermore, the process of sending the link information to the called terminal in the form of short message includes C12.

In C12, the called terminal is prompted with the identity information of the calling terminal corresponding to the link information.

The identity information of the calling terminal is put into the short message when the server sends the short message to the called terminal, to prompt the called terminal with the identity information of the calling terminal corresponding to the link information.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the short message including the link information is sent to the called terminal by the server, thereby resource occupation of the called terminal is reduced.

The embodiment is similar to the first embodiment and the second embodiment, which is not described in detail anymore.

Fourth Embodiment

With reference to FIG. 4, which is a schematic flow diagram of a method for leaving a message according to the disclosure, the method for leaving the message includes step 402 to step 412.

In step 402, after a user starts a call process in a calling terminal, a connection process of a call made from the calling terminal to a called terminal is monitored, and whether the call is connected is determined; and step 404 is entered in a case that the call is not connected.

In step 404, a voice-recording interface of the calling terminal is triggered in the calling terminal.

In step 406, the calling terminal receives a voice input of the user and generates audio data.

In step 408, the calling terminal uploads the audio data in the calling terminal and at least one kind of identity information related to the called terminal onto a server via the Internet Protocol.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, multiple identity information corresponds to the called terminal, and different identity information may correspond to different receiving systems.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the identity information of the called terminal includes a physical address and/or a network address related to the called terminal. The physical address includes a phone number, an IP (Internet Protocol) address, a mac (physical) address of the called terminal. The network address includes an email account and an instant messaging account of the called terminal.

Therefore, a receiving system corresponding to the physical address is the called terminal, and receiving systems corresponding to the network address such as the email account and the instant messaging account are an email system and an instant messaging system (such as MSN), respectively.

In step 410, the server stores the audio data, and sends link information of the audio data to a receiving system corresponding to the identity information.

Multiple receiving systems can be used in the embodiment of the disclosure. The link information is sent to the receiving system corresponding to the identity information of the called terminal.

In a case that the calling terminal uploads an email account used by a user of the called terminal onto the server in the disclosure, the server in the disclosure will sends a mail to the email account of the called terminal by calling an email interface. The mail includes the link information.

In a case that the calling terminal uploads an instant messaging account used by a user of the called terminal onto the server in the disclosure, the server in the disclosure sends information to the instant messaging account of the called terminal by calling an interface of an instant messaging system. The information includes the link information.

Other cases are similar.

In step 412, the called terminal will play the audio data or download the audio data from the server after acquiring the link information via the receiving system.

The called terminal can acquire the link information by checking the receiving system such as the email account or the instant messaging account, and then play the audio data or download the audio data from the server based on the link information. For example, the called terminal can directly open a web page in a browser to play the audio data.

In a case that the receiving system can be accessed not by the called terminal, the user can not be limited to acquire the link information from the called terminal. For example, in a case that a receiving system such as an email account or an instant messaging account can be logged from a PC or other terminal, the link information can be checked and acquired from the PC or other terminal which can be connected with the Internet.

The process of uploading the audio data in the calling terminal onto the server via the Internet Protocol includes step D10.

In step D10, identity information of the calling terminal is uploaded onto the server.

Furthermore, the process of sending the link information of the audio data to the receiving system corresponding to the identity information includes:

prompting the called terminal or the receiving system with the identity information of the calling terminal corresponding to the link information.

The identity information of the calling terminal is put into the short message when the server pushes the link information to the receiving system of the called terminal, to prompt the called terminal with the identity information of the calling terminal corresponding to the link information.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the audio data sent by the calling terminal is pushed onto different receiving systems of the called terminal via the server, thereby operations of the calling terminal is simplified and senseless fees are avoided.

Principles of steps in the embodiment similar to the steps in the first embodiment, the second embodiment and the third embodiment are similar, which is not described in detail anymore.

Fifth Embodiment

With reference to FIG. 5, which is a schematic flow diagram of a method for leaving a message according to the disclosure, the method for leaving the message includes step 502 to step 508.

In step 502, after a user starts a call process, a connection process of a call made from a calling terminal to a called terminal is monitored, and whether the call is connected is determined; and step 504 is entered in a case that the call is not connected.

In practice, in the embodiment of the disclosure, it is regarded that the call is not connected in a case that a user of the called terminal hangs up initiatively, then step 504 is entered. Also, it is regarded that the call is not connected in a case that the user of the calling terminal hangs up initiatively. In this case, whether a time length of the connection process exceeds a threshold is determined, and step 504 is entered in a case that the time length exceeds the threshold.

Preferably, step 502 that after a user starts a call process, a connection process of a call made from a calling terminal to a called terminal is monitored, and whether the call is connected is determined includes step A10.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, a conventional phone communication is monitored, that is, a call function of the cell phone is monitored. For example, in an android system, a phone management API provided by the android system is called to monitor a voice service in a connection management sub layer of the GSM protocol or in an upper entity of the CDMA 2000. In a case that it is learned that a call is dialed and then hanged up, a time length from dialing the call to hanging up the call is recorded in the voice service in the connection management sub layer or in the upper entity of the CDMA 2000 described above, a call record database of the system is queried, to check whether a value in an answering field of the call in the database represents that the call is connected. In a case that the call is not connected and the user waits for a time length greater than 15 s, the user is prompted to leave a message, and step 504 is triggered.

Alternatively, in an iOS system, similarly, a phone management API provided by the iOS system is called to monitor a voice service in a connection management sub layer of the GSM protocol or in an upper entity of the CDMA 2000, the phone management API of the iOS system can monitor whether the call is connected, therefore, processing in the iOS system is simpler compared with the android system, which only needs that the API is used to monitor a process from dialing the call to hanging up the call and if the call is not connected, the user is prompted to leave a message in a case that a time length of the process exceeds 15 s.

Preferably, in a case that the call is not connected, step 502 further includes step A52.

In step A52, call duration for the call which is not connected is acquired, and it is determined whether the call duration exceeds a threshold, step 504 is entered in a case that the duration exceeds the threshold.

For example, in a case that the threshold is 15 s described above, and a photographing interface of the calling terminal is not triggered in a case that the call duration does not exceed 15 s. Step 504 is entered in a case that the call duration exceeds 15 s.

In step 504, the photographing interface of the calling terminal is triggered.

After it is determined in steps described above that the call made by the calling terminal is not connected (further it is determined whether the time length from dialing the call to hanging up the call exceeds the threshold), the photographing interface of the calling terminal is triggered.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, in a case that the user uses a terminal such as a cell phone to make a call, a call management interface for making a call is accessed, that is, the calling terminal performs a call-dialing action in a call management process. In a case that it is monitored that the call dialed by the user is not connected, the photographing interface of the calling terminal is triggered directly in the call management interface (that is, the call management process).

Practically, the call management interface can be closed first and then the photographing interface of the calling terminal is triggered in the embodiment of the disclosure.

In step 506, a photographing input of the user is received, and video data or photo data is generated.

In a case that the user wants to leave a video message or a photo message, the photographing interface described above is used to photograph a video or take a photo, and the calling terminal receives the video or the photo, and then generates the video data or the photo data. Preferably, after the photographing is finished, the embodiment further includes a process of determining whether to send photographed video or taken photo. In a case that it is not desired to send the photographed video or the photo, the video and photo are deleted, or in a case that the user determines to send the photographed video or the photo, step 508 is entered.

In step 508, the video data or the photo data in the calling terminal is uploaded onto a server via the Internet Protocol, and the server provides the video data or the photo data to the called terminal for playing or downloading.

The video data or the photo data is uploaded onto the server via the Internet Protocol (such as the IP protocol) in step 508. The server processes the video data or the photo data upon receiving the video data or the photo data, and then provides the video data or the photo data to the called terminal for playing or downloading.

In the embodiment, link information of the video data or the photo data processed by the server is sent to the called terminal. The called terminal can download the video data or the photo data from the server via the Internet to play in a case of installing a device (such as 360 safeguard) having a video-playing function or a photo-playing function corresponding to the embodiment of the disclosure.

In the method for leaving a message according to the disclosure, after the user starts a call, the connection process made from the calling terminal to the called terminal is monitored, and whether the call is connected is determined. The photographing interface of the calling terminal is triggered to photograph in a case that the call is not connected. The video data or the photo data is uploaded onto the server via the Internet protocol, and the server provides the video data or the photo data to the called terminal for playing or downloading, thereby solving a problem of high fees since that an operation of the user is cumbersome in a case that a short message or a multimedia message is used to leave a message, achieving beneficial effects of simplifying a operation process and reducing a possibility of high fees by performing data transmission via the Internet. In the embodiment of the disclosure, it is beneficial for the user to perform information interaction with a receiving part in time simply. In a case that the method for leaving a message according to the embodiment of the disclosure is not used, the user needs to perform cumbersome operation steps to send the video information or the photo information to the receiving part. However, in a case that the method for leaving a message according to the embodiment of the disclosure is used, only one step is required (in a case that a information-sending function is provided, only two steps are required) to send message information to the receiving part rapidly and conveniently.

The storage 2620 possesses storage space 2630 for carrying out procedure code 2631 of any steps of aforesaid method. For example, storage space 2630 for procedure code can comprise various procedure codes 2631 used for realizing any steps of aforesaid method. These procedure codes can be read out from one or more computer program products or write in one or more computer program products. The computer program products comprise procedure code carriers such as hard disk, Compact Disc (CD), memory card or floppy disk and the like. These computer program products usually are portable or fixed storage cell as said in FIG. 27. The storage cell can possess memory paragraph, storage space like the storage 2620 in the computing device in FIG. 26. The procedure code can be compressed in, for example, a proper form. Generally, storage cell comprises computer readable code 2631′, i.e. the code can be read by processors such as 2610 and the like. When the codes run on a computer device, the computer device will carry out various steps of the method described above.
