DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to clearly describe objectives, the technical solutions and advantages of the application. A clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the application will be given below, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the application. Apparently, the embodiments described below are a part, but not all, of the embodiments of the application.

EMBODIMENT 1

[0033] As shown in FIG. 1, this embodiment provides a call notification method, which may comprise the following steps:

[0034] In S1: when a call is received, contact person information corresponding to a calling number is acquired; wherein, because the degree of importance of a contact person is generally decided by the following two aspects: first, user presetting; and second, historical call records, the obtained contact person information may comprise contact person information prestored in an address book (preset by a user) and/or historical call records corresponding to the calling number in a call log;

[0035] S2: according to the contact person information, determining a basic notification level of the calling number;

[0036] Wherein, as shown in FIG. 2, step S2 can be implemented specifically in the following manners:

[0037] In S21: according to the prestored contact person information, a prestored notification level is acquired, i.e. a notification level preset by the user, for example, no ringing in the silence mode, ringing and vibration in the silence mode, no ringing in any scenario mode, and the like;

[0038] In S22: according to historical call records of the calling number, a historical notification level is acquired; wherein, as a specific implementation manner, the historical notification level can be determined with historical call frequency and historical call duration; in general, it is considered that the higher the historical call frequency is and the longer the call duration is, the more important the contact person corresponding to the calling number is, that is, the higher the historical notification level is; in the actual use, a certain threshold can be set to conduct judgment, i.e. a threshold range corresponding to the historical call frequency and/or duration, and each level of threshold range corresponds to a historical notification level, specifically, the threshold range is set flexibly as required; and

[0039] In S23: according to the prestored notification level and the historical notification level, a basic notification level corresponding to the calling number is determined; wherein, the accuracy of the basic notification level obtained by steps S21 to S23 is higher, and the intelligent degree is high because the historical call records are obtained automatically without manual operation, thereby avoiding the occurrence of the situation of delaying an event because a user forgets to set a prestored notification level of a certain contact person to an important level;

[0040] In S3: a count of missed calls from the calling number within a preset time is acquired; wherein, when having an urgent or important event, a call contact person may generally dial a number needing to be dialed many times, so that it is very necessary to acquire the count of the missed calls within a preset time;

[0041] S4: according to the count of the missed calls, an additional notification level is determined;

[0042] Wherein, as shown in FIG. 3, step S4 can be implemented specifically in the following manners:

[0043] In S41: acquiring a threshold range corresponding to the count of the missed calls; and

[0044] In S42: according to the threshold range, acquiring a corresponding additional notification level;

[0045] Wherein, as a specific implementation manner, if the count of the missed calls is 0, the additional notification level is level 0; if the count of the missed calls is 1, the additional notification level is level 1; if the count of the missed calls is 2 to 3, the additional notification level is level 2; and if the count of the missed calls is greater than 3, the additional notification level is level 3; specifically, the notification level is set as required;

[0046] In general, the more urgent or more important the event is, the larger the count of calls is; and through step S41 and step S42, it is realized that the larger the count of calls from a certain number is, the higher the corresponding additional notification level is, and the additional notification levels are set hierarchically, so that an especially important event is further distinguished from a generally important event, and the user experience is optimized;

[0047] In S5: according to the basic notification level and the additional notification level, a current notification level corresponding to the current calling number;

[0048] Wherein, the following beneficial effects can be brought through steps S1 to S5: first, the situation of delaying an event because a user forgets to set a basic notification level of a certain important contact person (a certain calling number) to a higher level, and the user cannot answer the call when the important contact person calls the user's mobile phone repeatedly when having an urgent event is avoided to a certain extent; second, suppose that the current scenario is that the mobile phone of the user is in a silence mode, and the basic notification level of a certain calling number is no ringing in the silence mode; and at this moment, if the additional notification level is not set, the call from the number is always in the state of silence in the silence mode, i.e., even if the contact person of the calling number has an especially important event, and repeatedly calls the user's mobile phone, the user cannot detect it; however, by setting an additional notification level, the current notification level which is finally determined can be changed to ringing in the silence mode, thereby avoiding the occurrence of the situation of delaying an important event; to sum up, the current notification level determined through steps S1 to S5 is more objective and accurate;

[0049] S6: acquiring a notification manner corresponding to the current notification level, i.e. notification manners corresponding to all current notification levels are different, for example, only ringing; only vibration; ringing and vibration; different volumes of ringing; different amplitudes of vibration; no notification in the silence mode; only vibration notification in the silence mode; ringing and vibration notification in the silence mode, and the like; wherein, this step distinguishes call notifications of contact persons in different notification levels, and the user experience is good; and

[0050] S7: according to the notification manner, conducting a call notification on the calling number.

[0051] Although the occurrence of an event of missing to answer an important call can be avoided to a maximum extent through steps S1 to S7, an unexpected event still cannot be avoided, so that after step S7, the method may further comprise: a step of conducting alarm clock reminding on the call event at an interval of a preset time if a call from the calling number is not answered this time (that is, the user misses to answer a call). This setting further prevents the user from missing to answer the call.

EMBODIMENT 2

[0052] As shown in FIG. 4, this embodiment provides a call notification system, which may comprise:

[0053] a contact person information acquiring module 1 used for acquiring contact person information corresponding to a calling number when a call is received, wherein the contact person information may comprise contact person information prestored in an address book and/or historical call records corresponding to the calling number in a call log;

[0054] a basic notification level determining module 2 used for determining a basic notification level of the calling number according to the contact person information, wherein the module may further comprise:

[0055] a prestored notification level acquiring submodule used for acquiring a prestored notification level according to the prestored contact person information,

[0057] a basic notification level acquiring submodule used for determining a basic notification level corresponding to the calling number according to the prestored notification level and the historical notification level,

[0058] wherein the accuracy of the basic notification level obtained by the prestored notification level acquiring submodule, the historical notification level acquiring submodule and the basic notification level acquiring submodule is higher, and the intelligent degree is high because the historical call records are obtained automatically without manual operation, thereby preventing a user from forgetting to set a prestored notification level of a certain contact person to an important level;

[0059] a missed call count acquiring module 3 used for acquiring a count of missed calls from the calling number within a preset time, wherein when having an urgent or important event, a call contact person may generally dial a number needing to be dialed many times, so that it is very necessary to acquire the count of the missed calls within a preset time;

[0060] an additional notification level determining module 4 used for determining an additional notification level according to the count of the missed calls, wherein the module may further comprise: a threshold range acquiring submodule used for acquiring a threshold range corresponding to count of the missed calls, and an additional notification level acquiring submodule used for acquiring a corresponding additional notification level according to the threshold range,

[0061] wherein, in general, the more urgent or more important the event is, the larger the count of calls is, and by the threshold range acquiring submodule and the additional notification level acquiring submodule, it is realized that the larger the count of calls from a certain number is, the higher the corresponding additional notification level is, and the additional notification level is set hierarchically, so that an especially important event is further distinguished from a generally important event, and the user experience is optimized;

[0062] a current notification level determining module 5 used for acquiring a current notification level corresponding to the current calling number according to the basic notification level and the additional notification level;

[0063] a notification manner acquiring module 6 used for acquiring a notification manner corresponding to the current notification level; and

[0064] a notifying module 7 used for conducting a call notification for the calling number according to the notification manner.

[0065] When having an urgent or important event, a call contact person may generally dial a number needing to be dialed many times. However, the system provided by this embodiment determines the current notification level according to the basic notification level and the additional notification level, thereby avoiding to a certain extent the situation of delaying an event because a user forgets to set a basic notification level of an important contact person to a higher level, and the current notification level determined thereby is more objective and accurate. Meanwhile, for each current notification level, a corresponding notification manner is selected to conduct a call notification, so that call notifications of contact persons in different notification levels are distinguished, and the user experience is good.

[0066] Based on the above-mentioned solution, the call notification system provided by this embodiment further comprises a reminding module used for conducting alarm clock reminding on the call event at an interval of a preset time if a call from the calling number is not answered this time. This setting further prevents the user from missing to answer the call.
