DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The disclosure will be further discussed in detail below in conjunction with the specific embodiments together with the drawings to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the disclosure more clear.

[0036] In the present situation of call transfer on a mobile phone, a remote automatic control on setting a call transfer function for a SIM card of the mobile phone cannot be realized according to an operation requirement of a user. As a result, for a remote mobile phone, call transfer function of a SIM card can only be manually set by calling the service number of the operator manually. In order to solve such a problem, the inventors, from the perspective of the user, realize that a user hopes to be able to automatically control the call transfer function of a SIM card remotely. Therefore, the concept of the present disclosure lies in that an operation on the call transfer function of a remote mobile phone is realized by a third-party mobile phone.

[0037] Referring to FIG. 1, it is a schematic flow chart of a method for realizing remote control of call transfer according to the first embodiment of the disclosure, wherein the method for realizing remote control of call transfer includes:

[0038] In step 101: a message sent by a third-party mobile phone is received.

[0039] In this embodiment, the mobile phone that is left at a place may receive a message sent by a third-party mobile phone. Wherein, the message may be a short message, a WeChat message and a mail, etc.

[0040] In step 102: the content of the message is analyzed, and it is judged whether the content is a request for initiating call transfer.

[0041] Preferably, the request for initiating call transfer is set with a specified format.

[0042] Preferably, the request for initiating call transfer is in the form of a short message, and the format of the short message is: KT#password for initiating call transfer#call transfer type#receiving number for transferred calls. Wherein, the password for initiating call transfer refers to a password for initiating a call transfer mode. Moreover, the call transfer type may be different types input according to user requirement, for example, an unconditional call transfer. furthermore, the receiving number for transferred calls refers to a number that may receive communication content from the mobile phone after the call transfer mode is initiated.

[0043] In step 103: a password for initiating call transfer is acquired according to the message.

[0044] Wherein, a password for initiating call transfer is included in the request for initiating call transfer, and the password for initiating call transfer may be abstracted from the request for initiating call transfer.

[0045] In step 104: it is determined whether the password for initiating call transfer is correct, if yes, it turns to step 105; if not, it turns to step 106.

[0046] It should be noted that, a password for initiating call transfer is set in advance on the mobile phone that is left at a place, and it may determine whether the password for initiating call transfer in the request is correct by comparing the password for initiating call transfer in the request with the preset password for initiating call transfer.

[0047] In step 105: the call transfer mode is initiated.

[0048] Preferably, the network mode that the mobile phone currently operates on is acquired. Then, a call transfer mode corresponding to the network mode is initiated according to the network mode. It should be noted that, in the prior art, based on different network modes, respective call transfer modes for a mobile phone are also different. Preferably, the network mode that the mobile phone currently operates on may be acquired by looking up/searching the network modes that are supported by the MODEN protocol stack of the mobile phone, which is prepared for setting call transfer. For example, by looking up the MODEN protocol stack of the mobile phone, it is obtained that the network mode that currently operates is CDMA, thus a CDMA call transfer mode will be initiated on the mobile phone.

[0049] In step 106: a failure of call transfer request is sent back to the third-party mobile phone.

[0050] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the password for initiating call transfer in the request is not correct, the mobile phone that is prepared for setting call transfer may send a short message to the third-party mobile phone and inform the third-party mobile phone that the call transfer request failed.

[0051] As another embodiment of the disclosure, after step 101 is performed, the number of the third-party mobile phone may be acquired. Then, a preset call transfer directory is retrieved/searched, and it is determined whether the number of the third-party mobile phone is included in the call transfer directory; if the number of the third-party mobile phone is included, it may turn to step 102; if the number of the third-party mobile phone is not included, it may directly turn to step 106. In this embodiment, the call transfer directory is set in advance in the mobile phone that is prepared for setting call transfer, and the numbers that can initiate the call transfer mode for the mobile phone are stored in the call transfer directory. That is, by setting the call transfer directory and the above process, the safety of initiating the call transfer mode on the mobile phone that is prepared for setting call transfer via a third-party mobile phone may be further ensured.

[0052] In another preferred embodiment of the disclosure, when step 102 is performed, it is determined whether the request for initiating call transfer conforms to a preset short message format. If it conforms to the preset short message format, it goes to step 103; if it does not conform to the preset request format, it directly turns to step 106. Preferably, after it is determined that the request for initiating call transfer conforms to the preset request format, the receiving number for transferred calls is abstracted from the short message, and a preset receiving directory is retrieved. Wherein, the numbers that calls to the mobile phone can be transferred to are stored in the receiving directory. Then, it is determined whether the receiving number for transferred calls is included in the receiving directory. According to the determination result, if the receiving number for transferred calls is included, it goes to step 103; if the receiving number for transferred calls is not included, it directly turns to step 106.

[0053] As a referable embodiment, referring to FIG. 2, the method for realizing remote control of call transfer may specifically include the steps of:

[0054] In step 201: a message sent by a third-party mobile phone is received;

[0055] In step 202: the number of the third-party mobile phone is acquired, and a preset call transfer directory is retrieved; wherein, the numbers that can initiate the call transfer mode for the mobile phone are stored in the call transfer directory;

[0056] In step 203: it is determined whether the number of the third-party mobile phone is included in the call transfer directory; if included, it may turn to step 204; if not included, it may turn to step 208.

[0057] Wherein, the numbers that calls to the mobile phone can be transferred to are stored in the receiving directory.

[0058] In step 204: it is determined whether the request for initiating call transfer conforms to a preset short message format, if yes, it turns to step 205, and if not, it turns to step 208.

[0059] Wherein, the short message format is: KT#password for initiating call transfer#call transfer type#receiving number for transferred calls.

[0060] In step 205: a password for initiating call transfer is acquired according to the short message.

[0061] In step 206: it is determined whether the password for initiating call transfer is correct, if yes, it turns to step 207, and if not, it turns to step 208.

[0062] In step 207: the network mode that the mobile phone currently operates on is acquired, and a call transfer mode corresponding to the network mode is initiated.

[0063] In step 208: a failure of call transfer request is sent back to the third-party mobile phone.

[0064] In another aspect of the disclosure, there further provides a system for realizing remote control of call transfer. As shown in FIG. 3, the system for realizing remote control of call transfer includes a request receiving unit 301, a request determining unit 302, a password acquiring unit 303 and a mode initiating unit 304 that are connected in turn. Wherein, the request receiving unit 301 is configured for receiving a message sent by a third-party mobile phone. The request determining unit 302 is configured for analyzing the content of the message and judging whether it is a request for initiating call transfer. The password acquiring unit 303 is configured for acquiring a password for initiating call transfer according to the message. The mode initiating unit 304 is configured for determining whether the password for initiating call transfer is correct, if yes, initiating a call transfer mode, and if not, sending back to the third-party mobile phone a failure of call transfer request.

[0065] It should be noted that, before initiating the call transfer mode, the mode initiating unit 304 may acquire the network mode that the mobile phone currently operates on and then initiate a call transfer mode corresponding to the network mode.

[0066] As a referable embodiment of the system, as shown in FIG. 4, the request determining unit 302 may acquire the number of the third-party mobile phone from the request receiving unit 301 and retrieve a preset call transfer directory. Then, the request determining unit 302 determines whether the number of the third-party mobile phone is included in the call transfer directory, if included, the request determining unit 302 will be connected with the password acquiring unit 303; if not included, the request determining unit 302 will be connected with the mode initiating unit 304, and the mode initiating unit 304 directly sends back a failure of call transfer request to the third-party mobile phone.

[0067] In a preferred reference embodiment, the request determining unit 302 may further determine whether the request for initiating call transfer conforms to a preset short message format. Wherein, the preset request format is: KT#password for initiating call transfer#call transfer type#receiving number for transferred calls. According to the determination result, if the request conforms to the preset short message format, the request determining unit 302 will be connected with the password acquiring unit 303; if the request does not conform to the preset request format, the request determining unit 302 will be connected with the mode initiating unit 304, and the mode initiating unit 304 directly sends back a failure of call transfer request to the third-party mobile phone.

[0068] Preferably, after the request determining unit 302 determines that the request for initiating call transfer conforms to the preset short message format, it requires to abstract the receiving number for transferred calls from the request for initiating call transfer and retrieve a preset receiving directory. Wherein, the numbers that calls to the mobile phone can be transferred to are stored in the receiving directory. Then, the request determining unit 302 determines whether the receiving number for transferred calls is included in the receiving directory. According to the determination result, if the receiving number for transferred calls is included, the request determining unit 302 will be connected with the password acquiring unit 303; if the receiving number for transferred calls is not included, the request determining unit 302 will be connected with the mode initiating unit 304, and the mode initiating unit 304 directly sends back a failure of call transfer request to the third-party mobile phone.

[0069] It should be noted that, the specific implementation content of the system for realizing remote control of call transfer according to the disclosure has been illustrated in detail in the above method for realizing remote control of call transfer, and will not be repeatedly discussed here.

[0070] In conclusion, by the method and the system for realizing remote control of call transfer according to the disclosure, a mode of opening a call transfer function without the aid of manual call and manual labor is provided creatively, thereby an automatic control on the call transfer function of a remote mobile phone may be realized; moreover, the process of an automatic remote control may be carried out and performed securely and reliably, thus personal information of the owner of the mobile phone may be protected wonderfully.
