Description

Callout method for multi-standby mobile terminal

Technical field

The present invention relates to a method for calling out a mobile terminal, and more particularly to an outgoing call method for a mobile terminal that can be multi-standby.

Background technique

The existing dual-mode phones include GSM/PHS (Global System for Mobile communication, Personal Handyphone System, Personal Handyphone System), CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) / GSM and WCDMA ( Wide Code Division Multiple Access, /GSM, etc., the implementation of dual-mode mobile phones varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, including: dual-mode single standby and dual-mode dual standby.

If the frequencies of the two modes (network standard) in the dual mode are relatively close, considering the RF interference, if a dual standby solution is used, then one mode in the dual mode is used for the call, and the other mode is the RF interference. The service cannot be performed or the service shield is significantly reduced. Therefore, dual-mode single standby is usually adopted, that is, only one mode can be in the standby state. If another mode call is required, the system needs to be powered off and then powered on. Enter this mode.

If the frequency of the two modes in the dual mode are far apart and the interference between them is low, the dual mode dual standby scheme can be adopted, that is, the two modes can be in the standby state at the same time, when using a certain mode to make a call. There is no need to consider the RF interference generated by another mode.

However, considering that the frequency bands of each mode in the 3G frequency band division are adjacent to each other, if the dual-mode single standby scheme is adopted, the user cannot experience the convenience of the dual-mode mobile phone. Therefore, even if RF interference is likely to occur, manufacturers of various models of mobile phones tend to use a dual standby solution.

At present, there is no exhalation method for the Chinese model dual standby mobile phone that allows the user to conveniently select one of the two modes to initiate a call. Summary of the invention The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an outgoing call method that allows a user to conveniently select one of a plurality of modes to initiate a call when using a multi-standby mobile terminal.

In order to solve the above problem, the present invention provides a method for calling out a multi-standby mobile terminal, wherein when the number of available call modes is greater than 1, a menu containing each available call mode description information is displayed for selection, and selected The outgoing mode corresponding to the outgoing mode description information initiates a call; the multi-standby mobile terminal is a multi-number mobile terminal including a double number and supports multiple standbys including dual standby, the type of which is multi-mode, one-card multi-number, one-machine multi-card One of the three types; the outgoing mode description information is network standard information or a calling number corresponding to the outgoing mode.

In addition, the method includes the following steps:

A) After inputting or selecting the called number and pressing the dialing button, judge the current number of available outgoing modes: If the number of available outgoing calls is greater than 1, proceed to the next step;

B) displaying a mode selection menu including description information of each available call mode;

C) determining an available call mode corresponding to the menu item selected by the user as the current call mode;

D) Initiate a call in the selected outgoing mode.

Further, in the step A), if the number of available outgoing calls is equal to 1, the current outgoing mode is determined to be the available outgoing mode, and the process jumps to the step D).

In addition, between the steps C) and D), the following steps are further included: performing an interference avoidance operation; the interference avoidance operation is to turn off the radio frequency of other available outgoing call modes other than the current outgoing mode, or enter the deep sleep state. .

In addition, after the step D), the method further includes the following steps: displaying prompt information according to the outgoing mode and the call state; the prompt information includes: a current outgoing call mode or a calling number, a call state.

The invention performs the pre-judgment of the outgoing mode before initiating the call, and displays the mode selection menu for the user to select according to the judgment result, so that the user can flexibly select the outgoing mode of the multi-standby mobile phone. BRIEF abstract 1 is a flow chart of an outgoing call method of a multi-standby mobile terminal according to the present invention;

2 is a schematic diagram of a mode selection menu adopted by the calling method of the multi-standby mobile terminal of the present invention. Preferred embodiment of the invention

The present invention realizes the outgoing call of the mobile terminal in a multi-standby (including dual standby) state by adopting a pop-up mode selection menu before the call, and letting the user select the outgoing mode.

The invention will now be described in detail in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

1 is a flow chart of an outgoing call method of a multi-standby mobile terminal according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the method for calling out a multi-standby mobile terminal includes the following steps:

101: The user inputs or selects the called number from the application module such as phone book, business card holder, short message, call record, etc. and presses the dial (confirm) button;

102: Perform pre-judgment of the outgoing call mode, that is, determine the current available outgoing call mode (calling number):

If the number of available outgoing calls is greater than 1, the next step is performed;

If the number of available outgoing calls is equal to 1, the outgoing call mode is set to the currently available outgoing call mode, and the process proceeds to step 106;

If the number of available outgoing calls is equal to 0, then go to step 107.

When the current standby mode is single standby, the number of available outgoing calls is 1; when the standby mode is 2, the available outgoing mode is 2; when there is no available network or the user identification card is not inserted, and the number entered by the user is the emergency call number, the number of available outgoing calls is Is the number of networks or calling numbers that support emergency calls.

103: Display the mode selection menu on the display for the user to select;

As shown in FIG. 2, each menu item in the mode selection menu is the description information of the currently available outgoing mode, and the outgoing mode can be arranged according to the priority of each outgoing mode set by the user, or according to the current network signal strength.

In FIG. 2, a TD-SCDMA/PHS silent mode mobile phone is taken as an example to show a mode selection menu displayed on a mobile phone display screen. The mode selection menu includes two menu items, each item corresponding to different call mode description information, respectively : "TD Call" and "PHS Call"; where "TD Call" Corresponding to TD-SCDMA (Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access) call mode; "PHS Call" corresponds to PHS call mode.

The outgoing mode description information in FIG. 2 is network standard information corresponding to the available outgoing call mode. The call mode description information may also be a calling number, that is, the calling number corresponding to each available calling mode is displayed in the mode selection menu for the user to select.

104: Determine an available call mode corresponding to the menu item selected by the user as the current outgoing mode, and notify the background service program;

105: notify the background service program to perform the interference avoidance operation;

When the number of available outgoing calls is greater than 1, the background service program can turn off the radio (baseband processing chip) of another available outgoing mode, or put it into a deep sleep state to reduce interference during the call.

106: The background service program initiates a call in the currently set outgoing call mode;

107: Display a prompt message on the display according to the current outgoing mode and the call state; the prompt information may include: the currently used outgoing call mode or calling number, call status (initiating call, call failure, etc.), error information, etc., for example: "Initiating a call in GSM mode, , "No network/mode available", etc.

As can be seen from the above description, for a multi-mode multi-standby mobile phone, if a plurality of modes are currently available for calling, a pop-up mode selection menu is provided for the user to select an outgoing mode, and when only one outgoing call mode is available, the mode is directly used to initiate a call; This not only makes full use of the advantages of multi-mode mobile phones, but also simplifies the user's operation steps as much as possible.

Industrial applicability

The invention performs the pre-judgment of the outgoing mode before initiating the call, and displays the mode selection menu for the user to select according to the judgment result, so that the user can flexibly select the outgoing mode of the multi-standby mobile phone. In addition, the present invention is also applicable to a multi-standby mobile phone that can be multi-standby in the form of one-machine multi-card or one-card multi-number. For multi-number mobile phones, different call-out modes correspond to different calling numbers.
