Description

Method for constructing dual-mode dual standby mobile terminal information creation list

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a method for constructing a list of information operations of a dual mode standby mobile terminal.

Background technique

The mobile terminal is generally a mobile phone. The existing dual-mode mobile phones are nothing more than GSM/PHS, CDMA/GSM and WCDMA/GSM, etc. The implementation of dual-mode is also different for each manufacturer, in order to let the end user experience the dual-mode mobile phone. Convenience, mobile phone manufacturers mostly want to adopt dual-mode dual standby mode, and in the current Chinese model combination, each mode can support the function of sending and receiving short messages and storing contact information (ie phone book). This means that both the mobile phone user identification card can store the short message and the phone book information, and the format stored on the two user identification cards may be different. Similarly, the phone's built-in memory can also store SMS and phonebook content in two modes.

Because the two modes are different, the corresponding short message or phone book format and processing method may also be different. If the processing method according to the prior art, two MMI (Man Machine Interface) layer pairs appear correspondingly. The mode of the user identification card is processed separately, that is, two short messages appear, two phonebooks, and the user can only operate separately for a short message or a phone book of a certain mode, which is extremely great for the terminal user. The troubles and inconvenience of use, the upper application is basically unable to accept such a design. If you want to meet the habits of end users, you need to combine the short message and phone book information in the two modes, and you can clearly distinguish them. The short message and the phone book are basically oriented to the end user in the form of a list and the operation for the list item. Then, how to build the short message and the phone book list merged in the two modes on the silent mode mobile phone becomes one problem.

Summary of the invention

The method for constructing the table overcomes the problem that the short message and the phone book of the dual mode dual standby mobile terminal are inconvenient to use and difficult to manage in the prior art.

In order to solve the above problem, the present invention provides a method for constructing an information operation list of a dual-mode standby mobile terminal, which uses a dual-mode control module to encapsulate and manage two modes of information; when the dual-mode control module receives a human-machine interface When the MMI layer requests, it returns the data required by the request, and the MMI layer arranges the received data in the form of a list.

Further, the constructing method includes the following steps:

(1) When the mobile terminal receives the information, the information is stored on the local or user identification card;

(2) When the information module is selected, the corresponding entry is entered, and the MMI layer sends a read request to the dual mode control module;

(3) After receiving the request, the dual-mode control module transmits the data that meets the requirements to the MMI layer; (4) The MMI layer arranges the received data in a list.

Further, the information is a short message or a phone number, and the information module is a short message module or a phone book module.

Further, in the step (1), when the mobile terminal receives the short message, the short message is stored locally; when the user adds the phone number to the phone book module, the user selects to deposit the local or deposit the user identification card. in.

Further, the short message stored in the local file system is provided with a mode identifier for identifying which mode receives the short message.

Further, the short message is divided into an inbox, an outbox, a draft box, a sent, a card, or a card; wherein the inbox is used to store all the received short messages; The sending box is configured to store a short message that fails to be sent; the draft box is used to store a short message that is not sent after the user edits; the sent message is used to store all short messages that are successfully sent; the card is a box and a card Two boxes of short messages for storing the user identification card.

further,

In the step (2), the step of selecting the information module and entering the corresponding entry is specifically: the user selects the short message module, and selects the list item of the main menu, and the list item includes the inbox, the outbox, and the draft box. , has been sent, card one box or two boxes; Specifically, the step (3) is that the dual mode control module sends the short message data stored on the local or user identification card to the MMI layer.

Further, in the step (1), when the user adds the contact information, the MMI layer provides an option of the sub-function menu for the user to select a storage location, where the storage location includes all, the group, the card one, or the card two; All of the information for storing a local contact; the group is used to store contact information of a local group; and the card 1 and the card 2 are used for storing contact information that needs to be stored on the user identification card. ;

In the step (2), the information module is selected, and the corresponding entry is entered. Specifically, when the user enters the phone book module, the user enters a list of the main menu, and the list includes all, group, card one or card two. Further, in the step (4), the MMI layer constructs the received short message data into a form of a list, and presents the mode to the terminal user by using an icon distinguishing mode.

Further, in step (4), after the information is arranged in the form of a list, the information is operated: when the information is a phone book, the operation includes deleting, copying to a card, or copying to the local; when the information is In the case of a short message, the operation includes deleting or copying to the card.

In the present invention, a dual mode control module is added, which is used for encapsulating and uniformly managing information in two modes (including a short message and a phone book), receiving a request from the MMI layer, and returning the request for the request. data. In this way, the two modes of information are well integrated, avoiding the need for two MMI layers for acquiring/receiving different mode information.

The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1 , in the short message list interface diagram of the embodiment of the present invention, the main menu includes a plurality of menu items, such as newly created information, an inbox, an outbox, etc., each menu item provides different functions or contents for providing User selection. After the user selects a menu item such as inbox or outbox, the short message in the corresponding location is displayed in a list. The figure shows that when the user selects the inbox in the main menu, the short message in the inbox is displayed in a list, and the short message can be identified by "ICON" (icon), such as CDMA, GSM, etc. . Each item in the list provides a sub-function menu for selection operations, such as deleting, emptying, moving to a user folder, etc. When the user selects a sub-function menu item, the corresponding function operation will be performed, such as a corresponding short message. Move or copy to the phone's user identification card.

As shown in FIG. 2, the upper layer application stores the short message in a local or card, and the local refers to the local memory/file of the mobile phone. In this example, two user identification cards, a USIM (Universal Subscriber Identity Module) card and a PIM (Personal Identity Module) card are used. Short messages are stored by type in the inbox, outbox, draft box, sent, card one box (in this case USIM card box), card two boxes (in this case, PIM card box). The inbox is used to store all the short messages received; the outbox is used to store short messages that fail to be sent; the draft box is used to store short messages that are not sent after the user edits; Short message; a box for storing a user identification card in one mode in dual mode (in this case, USIM card) The short message, the second box of the card is used to store the short message of the user identification card (in this case, the PIM card) of another mode in the dual mode.

The MMI layer rationally classifies short messages, which makes the user feel clear and clear, and provides the possibility for the implementation of the back-end service.

For short message operations, the main contents are as follows:

(1) Edit the short message, you can use the soft keyboard to edit, press the send button after the edit is completed, and the send is successful, then the short message is saved in the sent;

(6) Select short message from the inbox, select the forwarding (or direct reply) through the sub-function menu option, call the editing interface, select the soft keyboard to edit, press the send key after editing, and the sending fails, then short The message is saved in the outbox;

(7) Select short message from the inbox, select the forwarding (or direct reply) through the sub-function menu option, call the editing interface, select the soft keyboard to edit, press the send key after the editing is completed, and the transmission is successful, then short The message is saved in the sent one;

(8) Copy (or move) the short message of the USIM card box to the inbox from the box of the card (ie USIM card box) through the sub-function menu, select the menu copy (or move) to the phone; (9) From the inbox through the sub-function menu options, select the menu to move to the user folder, move the inbox's short message to the user folder, the user folder can generally store various types of files;

(10) The short message in the USIM card and PIM card can be exchanged through the sub-function menu options. Phase shift or copy;

(11) Copy (or move) the short message from the PIM card box to the inbox from the second box of the card (ie PIM card box) through the sub-function menu option, select menu copy (or move) to the phone.

When the user receives the short message, the dual-mode control module stores the received short message content to the local management, and the card does not store. Similarly, the Outbox, Drafts, and Sent Items are also stored locally.

The dual-mode control module performs unified storage management of the newly received short messages in the two modes, all stored locally, not stored in the respective cards, and model identification, which provides the services required by the MMI layer.

As shown in FIG. 3, the method for constructing the short message list of the dual mode silent standby mobile terminal includes the following steps:

Step S301: The user selects a short message main menu, and triggers a menu; the menu items in the main menu include an inbox, an outbox, a draft box, a sent, a card, and a card; the short message main menu corresponds to The short message module, the user selects the short message main menu, which is equivalent to selecting the short message module; Step S302: selecting the short message module, firstly calling the short message main function corresponding to the short message module;

Step S303: Because the menu item of the short message main menu is displayed, the number of short messages in each file box (such as inbox, outbox, draft box, etc.) is generally displayed, so the MMI layer sends a read to the dual mode control module. Taking the request for the number of short messages of each file box, the mode control module returns the number to the MMI layer;

Step S304: The MMI layer creates a list of short message main menus, that is, menu items, wherein each file box in the list displays the number of short messages saved by the file box;

Step S305: When the user selects a menu item, the menu menu processing function is triggered, and the MMI layer sends a request for reading the short message of the corresponding menu item to the dual mode control module; the dual mode control module sends the corresponding short message data. For the M layer, the short message data includes mode information; the MMI layer receives the data reported by the dual mode control module, and performs mode differentiation according to the information carried by the data, and the short messages in different modes adopt different icons, and All the short messages are sorted by time; Step S306: The MMI layer presents the short message to the terminal user in the form of a list, and the user can enter Each sub-function menu operates. For a short message, the MMI layer provides operations such as deleting and copying to the card. If the user selects a box or a box, the user can see the short copy from the local to the card. Messages; there may be different formats between different modes, and they cannot be copied to each other; after performing the operation on short messages, the main interface of the short message can be returned.

For the phone book, the upper application divides the contact information into all, group, card, and card by type. All of them are used to store information of all local contacts; the group is also the contact information of a group stored locally; the card is used to store the information of the contacts on a certain mode card; Information for a contact stored on another mode card. The MMI layer rationally classifies the contact information in the phone book, which makes the user feel clear and clear, and provides the possibility for the realization of the background service. At the same time, the local contact information is managed by the background service dual-mode control module, and can be further grouped.

When the user adds the contact information, the MMI layer provides the option of the sub-function menu for the user to select the storage, and the stored location can be selected locally, card one or card two.

After the storage location is determined, the format of the stored content is also determined, and the dual-mode control module uniformly manages the contact information stored locally, and can further group.

For the newly added contact information of the user, an interface prompt is given to let the user select the storage location, which not only reflects the friendliness of the interface, but also provides the possibility of realizing the background service.

As shown in FIG. 4, it is a schematic diagram of a phonebook list interface of the present invention. When adding contact information, the user can select to store in a mobile phone (ie, local) or a USIM card or a PIM card. Contact information for each storage location can be viewed under each list. Different operating menus are available for list items in different locations for the user to select.

The method for constructing the dual-mode dual standby mobile terminal phonebook list includes the following steps:

Step 1: When the user selects the phone book main menu, the phone book module is selected, and then selects a certain list of the main menu, that is, the menu item, the menu item includes all, group, card one and card two; the user can select Obtaining contact information corresponding to a menu item, and the MMI layer sends a request to the dual mode control module to read the contact information; Step 2: After receiving the request, the mode control module transmits the data that meets the requirements to the MMI layer. Step 3: The MMI layer arranges the received data in the form of a list, which can be sorted and presented to the end user.

For a record, the user can choose to delete, copy to card, copy to local, and so on.

As shown in Figure 5, the specific steps for adding a contact in the phone book are as follows:

Step S501: When the user adds the contact information, the user can select to store in the mobile phone, the PIM card or the USIM card (for the PHS single standby mobile phone, it can be stored on the mobile phone or the PIM card; for the TD single standby mobile phone, it can be stored in the mobile phone or On the USIM card; for dual standby phones, it can be stored on the mobile phone or USIM card or PIM card);

Step S502: The user selects to enter a list of menu items and edits the contact information. Step S503: The user selects whether to save, if necessary, press the save button to save the edited contact information;

Step S504: The mobile phone interface displays the location where the inquiry needs to be stored. When the user needs to store the contact information on the user identification card, step S506 is performed; when the user does not need to store the contact information on the user identification card, perform the steps. S505;

Step S505: Query whether to store on the mobile phone; when the user needs to store the contact information on the mobile phone, step S506; when the user does not need to store the contact information on the mobile phone, return to step S503;
