[0057] The following clearly describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0058] Unless otherwise specified, an application in specific implementation manners of this application may be short message service, instant messaging, email, or the like. A portable electronic device in this application includes, but is not limited to, an electronic device that is easy to carry, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a smartwatch, or a PDA. A voice assistant in specific embodiments of this application may include, but is not limited to, Siri, Cortana, and Google Now. Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of a portable electronic device according to an embodiment of this application. A portable electronic device 10 may be an electronic device such as a mobile phone, a PDA (Chinese: personal digital assistant, English: Personal Digital Assistant), a tablet computer, or a smartwatch. As shown in FIG. 1, the portable electronic device 10 includes: a processor 101, a memory 102, a transceiver 103, a bus 104, and a display 105. The transceiver 103 is configured to receive data from and transmit data to an external device. There may be one or more processors 101 in the portable electronic device 10. In some embodiments of this application, the processor 101, the memory 102, the transceiver 103, and the display 105 may be connected by using a bus or in another form. The portable electronic device may automatically respond to an incoming call. The auto-response needs to be preset by a user, and a type of a message that is automatically replied to also needs to be set. For example, the portable electronic device automatically responds to a call. The user pre-creates or presets an event in a schedule, and a structure of the event may include content of the event, and a telephone number and/or another account of a participant, and may further include a name of the participant, and permission of the participant (the permission may be specifically at least one of a type, content, or a range of information that can be obtained by each participant).

[0059] The memory 102 stores program code. The processor 101 is configured to invoke the program code stored in the memory 102 to perform steps according to another embodiment or still another embodiment below. For specific steps, refer to descriptions of the another embodiment of this application or the still another embodiment of this application, and details are not described herein.

[0060] The display 105 may be a touch control display. The display 105 may display a user-operable graphical user interface. The display 105 may receive a touch control message that is sent by the user by using the graphical user interface and send the touch control message to the processor 101 for processing. The processor 101 may perform the steps in the another embodiment or the still another embodiment below according to the touch control message and the program code that is stored in the memory 102. For specific steps, refer to descriptions of the another embodiment of this application or the still another embodiment of this application, and details are not described herein.

[0061] Referring to FIG. 2A, FIG. 2A shows a method according to another embodiment of this application. The method is applied to the portable electronic device shown in FIG. 1. The portable electronic device 10 may automatically respond to an incoming phone call, and that the portable electronic device automatically responds to the incoming telephone call may be set by a user by using a graphical user interface displayed by the display 105. Certainly, in an actual application, that the portable electronic device automatically responds to the incoming telephone call may be implemented by the processor 101 by running application software. For example, the incoming telephone call is automatically responded to in a manner of running application software such as a voice assistant. The method is executed by the portable electronic device. As shown in FIG. 2A, the method includes the following steps.

[0062] Step 201: Detect an incoming telephone call and automatically answer the phone call.

[0063] In step 201, there may be multiple conditions for automatically answering the phone call. For example, the voice assistant is triggered to automatically answer the call. Certainly, the electronic device may be in a particular mode, and when a call is incoming, the call is automatically answered immediately. Alternatively, when a particular specified condition is reached and the user does not respond, the electronic device may enter an auto-response mode of the voice assistant. The specified condition includes, but is not limited to: time for which the electronic device rings before the call is answered. Certainly, the call may be answered automatically when the electronic device is in a conference mode or a silent mode.

[0064] Step 202: Determine that in at least one pre-stored event, there is an event matching a telephone number of the phone call, where the event may include: at least one of content of the event, a starting time of the event, or a location of the event, contact information of a participant, and permission of the participant.

[0065] The contact information of the participant may be specifically a telephone number of the participant. Certainly, the contact information of the participant may further include information such as a name of the participant.

[0066] The event in step 202 may be manually entered and stored by the user by using the graphical user interface displayed by the display. Certainly, in an actual application, the event may also be automatically generated by the portable electronic device. A specific implementation manner may be: obtaining context information stored in the portable electronic device; after parsing the context information, determining whether the context information satisfies a creation condition; if the creation condition is satisfied, creating an initial event, and enabling a confirmation message for the initial event to pop up; and when the user confirms the initial event, converting the initial event to the event and storing the event. The context information may be specifically a stored historical chat record, for example, a historical chat record of an instant messaging application. Certainly, the context information may be other context information, for example, a program that has context information such as a short message service message record, schedule information, memo information, a reminder, and email content. The creation condition may be specifically: parsing the context information to determine whether at least one of the content of the event, the starting time of the event, or the location of the event, and the participant can be obtained.

[0067] A structure of the event in step 202 may be a universal set of information types, for example, {a location, a participant, permission of the participant, a contact list, a calendar, a status, a starting time . . . }. A format of the event is shown in FIG. 2C. As shown in FIG. 2C, a type of the event may be: having a party, going hiking, having a meeting, or the like. The permission of the participant may be set according to different contacts. The permission of the participant may include: a location, a schedule, a contact, a communication manner, and the like. Certainly, the permission of the participant may be set to same permission by default. The content of the event in step 202 includes, but is not limited to, one or more of a theme of the event, a type of the event, or a description of the event. The content of the event is described by using an actual example. Using having a party as an example, the content of the event may include: the theme of the event: having a party, and the description of the event: attending a classmate party as required. The description of the event may be specifically a text or audio that describes the event. Certainly, in an actual application, another description manner may be used. The type of the event may be specifically a meeting, a dinner party, or karaoke. Certainly, in an actual application, the type of the event or the theme of the event may be manually entered by the user by using the graphical user interface displayed by the display, or may certainly be selected by the user by using a selection menu displayed on the graphical user interface. A specific manifestation or an obtaining form of the type of the event or the theme of the event is not limited in this application.

[0068] The permission of the participant in step 202 may specifically include: at least one of obtaining a type of information, obtaining content of the information, or obtaining a range of the information. Certainly, in an actual application, the permission of the participant may be the same, or may certainly be different. For example, in a specific event, permission of all participants may be the same, that is, all participants have permission to obtain same information from the portable electronic device. Certainly, in an actual application, the user may separately set the permission of the participants. For example, when the participant is a family member, the participant correspondingly has large participant permission, and when the participant is a stranger, the participant correspondingly has small participant permission.

[0069] Step 203: If it is determined that in the at least one pre-stored event, there is the event matching the telephone number of the phone call, obtain and parse audio content of the phone call; and automatically respond to the audio content with response content according to the audio content, the telephone number, and permission that corresponds to the telephone number.

[0070] An implementation method of step 203 may specifically include:

[0071] recording audio content of a caller, and parsing the audio content to learn a call demand; and

[0072] determining a participant at least according to a mapping relationship between the telephone number of the telephone call and the contact information of the participant, and determining permission of the participant according to the participant and the permission of the participant; and determining that a response type of the audio content satisfies the permission of the participant, and automatically responding to the audio content with the response content; or determining that the response type does not satisfy the permission of the participant, and automatically responding with the preset content.

[0073] A specific implementation manner of determining whether the response type of the audio content satisfies the permission of the participant may be: parsing the audio content of the telephone call by using a natural language analysis processing algorithm to obtain the response type, and if the response type satisfies the permission of the participant and it is assumed that the permission of the participant is “contact” and the response type is “contact”, obtaining the response content for the audio content, and automatically responding with the response content. As shown in FIG. 2B, the audio content of the telephone call is: Tell me a telephone number of Toby (for convenient description, a corresponding text of the audio content is recorded), the response content obtained after the parsing is “Toby 1812000****”, and if the permission of the participant includes the contact, “Toby 1812000****” is automatically responded with.

[0074] An implementation method of step 203 may specifically include:

[0075] determining a participant at least according to a mapping relationship between the telephone number of the telephone call and the contact information of the participant, and determining permission of the participant according to the participant and the permission of the participant; determining the response content for the audio content; and determining that the response content satisfies the permission of the participant, and automatically responding with the response content; or determining that the response content does not satisfy the permission of the participant, automatically responding with the preset content.

[0076] A specific implementation manner of the determining that the response content satisfies the permission of the participant may be: parsing the audio content of the telephone call by using the natural language analysis processing algorithm to obtain the response content, and if the response content satisfies the permission of the participant, automatically responding with the response content. For example, as shown in FIG. 2B, content of the telephone call is: Tell me a telephone number of Toby, the response content obtained after the parsing is “Toby 1812000****”, and if the permission of the participant includes the telephone number, “Toby 1812000****” is automatically responded with. Certainly, in an actual application, there may be multiple types of response content, for example, a location, an estimated time of arrival, and a current status. The algorithm for analyzing the audio content of the telephone call may be an algorithm such as named entity recognition or syntax parsing, or may certainly be another natural language analysis algorithm.

[0077] Step 204: If it is determined that in the at least one pre-stored event, there is no event matching the telephone number of the phone call, automatically respond with preset content.

[0078] There may be multiple types of preset content according to actual cases. For example, the preset content may be audio. Certainly, in an actual application, the preset content may be a text, for example, I am busy now, please leave a message. Certainly, the preset content may be another text. A specific form of the preset content is not limited in this application.

[0079] According to this solution, a telephone call is automatically responded to, it is determined in the auto-response whether response content satisfies permission of a participant, and when the response content satisfies the permission of the participant, the telephone call is automatically responded to with the response content, or when the response content does not satisfy the permission of the participant, the telephone call is automatically responded to with preset content, to automatically distinguish between permission of different participants, and provide different response content for the participants according to different permission, thereby effectively protecting user privacy.

[0080] Optionally, the contact information of the participant may further include: voiceprint information. When the voiceprint information is included, the determining a participant at least according to a mapping relationship between the telephone number of the telephone call and the contact information of the participant may be specifically: determining the participant according to a mapping relationship among the telephone number of the phone call, voiceprint information in the content of the phone call, and the contact information of the participant.

[0081] The determining the participant according to a mapping relationship among the telephone number of the phone call, voiceprint information in the content of the phone call, and the contact information of the participant may specifically include: matching voiceprint information in the audio content of the telephone call with voiceprint information in the contact information of the participant by using a voiceprint information matching algorithm, so as to determine whether the voiceprint information is from the participant.

[0082] In the voiceprint information matching solution, it can be determined whether a calling terminal is used by the participant, and when the voiceprint information is matched, it is determined that the calling terminal is used by the participant, and the response content satisfying the permission of the participant is provided, or when the voiceprint information is not matched, the preset content is automatically responded with.

[0083] According to the method provided in the another embodiment of this application, after an incoming telephone call is detected, a telephone number of the telephone call is matched with a pre-stored event, and if it is determined that the telephone number matches an event, the telephone call is automatically responded to according to permission corresponding to the telephone number. By means of the technical solution, the telephone call is automatically responded to, and different permission can be provided for different participants, so that a problem of dynamically adjusting permission of a participant is resolved, and user privacy is protected when auto-response is implemented.

[0084] Referring to FIG. 2D, FIG. 2D shows a method according to another embodiment of this application. The method is applied to the portable electronic device shown in FIG. 1. The portable electronic device 10 may automatically respond to an incoming phone call, and that the portable electronic device automatically responds to the incoming telephone call may be set by a user by using a graphical user interface displayed by the display 105. Certainly, in an actual application, that the portable electronic device automatically responds to the incoming telephone call may be implemented by the processor 101 by running application software. For example, the incoming telephone call is automatically responded to in a manner of running application software such as a voice assistant. The method is executed by the portable electronic device. As shown in FIG. 2D, the method includes the following steps.

[0085] Step 205: Detect an incoming phone call.

[0086] Step 206: Determine that in at least one pre-stored event, there is an event matching a telephone number of the phone call, where the event may include: at least one of content of the event, a starting time of the event, or a location of the event, contact information of a participant, and permission of the participant.

[0087] For a specific implementation of step 206, refer to step 202.

[0088] Step 207: If it is determined that in the at least one pre-stored event, there is the event matching the telephone number of the phone call, automatically answer the phone call.

[0089] In step 207, there may be multiple conditions for automatically answering the phone call. The conditions may be, for example, determining that ringing duration exceeds a preset time, or the telephone call being from a particular contact. The conditions include, but are not limited to, automatically answering the call by triggering the voice assistant. Certainly, the electronic device may enter a particular mode, for example, a conference mode or a silent mode, and when a call is incoming, the call is automatically answered; or when a particular specified condition is reached and the user does not respond, the electronic device may enter an auto-response mode of the voice assistant.

[0090] Step 208: Obtain and parse audio content of the phone call, and automatically respond to the audio content with response content according to the audio content, the telephone number, and permission that corresponds to the telephone number.

[0091] For a specific implementation of step 208, refer to step 203.

[0092] Step 209: If it is determined that in the at least one pre-stored event, there is no event matching the telephone number of the phone call, skip automatically answering the phone call.

[0093] According to this solution, a telephone call is automatically responded to, the telephone call is automatically answered when a preset event is matched, it is determined in the auto-response whether response content satisfies permission of a participant, and when the response content satisfies the permission of the participant, the telephone call is automatically responded to with the response content, or when the response content does not satisfy the permission of the participant, the telephone call is automatically responded to with preset content, to distinguish between permission of different participants, provide different response content for the participants according to different permission, and effectively help a user process a call, thereby effectively protecting user privacy.

[0094] Referring to FIG. 3A, FIG. 3A is a method according to still another embodiment of this application. The method is applied to the portable electronic device shown in FIG. 1. The portable electronic device 10 may automatically reply to a message of an application, and the application includes, but is not limited to, one or more of short message service, instant messaging, or email. That the portable electronic device automatically replies to the application message may be set by a user by using a graphical user interface displayed by the display 105. The portable electronic device may automatically reply to a received message. Auto-reply to the message needs to be preset by the user, and a type of the message that is automatically replied to also needs to be set, for example, the portable electronic device automatically replies to a message of instant messaging (such as QQ and WeChat). The user pre-creates or presets an event in a schedule, and a structure of the event may include content of the event, and a telephone number and/or another account of a participant, and may further include a name of the participant, and permission of the participant (the permission may be specifically at least one of a type, content, or a range of information that can be obtained by each participant). That the portable electronic device automatically replies to the message of the application may further be implemented by the processor 101 by running application software. For example, the application message is automatically replied to in a manner of running application software such as a voice assistant. The type of the message of the application that is automatically replied to may be set by the user. For example, the user may set that the type of the message that is automatically replied to is only a message of an instant messaging application (such as QQ, WeChat, or Facebook). Certainly, the user may set a quantity of messages that are automatically replied to, for example, ten messages or less are automatically replied to each day. Certainly, in an actual application, auto-reply to the message may be set in another form. The method is executed by the portable electronic device. As shown in FIG. 3A, the method includes the following steps:

[0095] Step 301: Receive a message of an application, and obtain information about the message.

[0096] The information about the message in step 301 includes, but is not limited to, content of the message, and a telephone number or an account for sending the message.

[0097] The content of the message includes, but is not limited to, one or more of a theme of the message, a type of the message, or a description of the message.

[0098] Step 302: Determine whether in at least one pre-stored event, there is an event matching a telephone number or an account of the message, where the event includes: at least one of a telephone number of a participant or an account of a participant, at least one of a starting time of the event or a location of the event, content of the event, and permission of a participant.

[0099] For an event obtaining manner and the permission of the participant in step 302, refer to the description of step 202, and details are not described herein again.

[0100] Step 303: If it is determined that in the at least one pre-stored event, there is the event matching the telephone number or the account of the message, automatically reply to the message according to permission corresponding to the telephone number or the account of the message, and according to the information about the message.

[0101] The automatically replying to the message according to permission corresponding to the telephone number or the account of the message, and according to the information about the message in step 303 may specifically include:

[0102] determining the permission corresponding to the telephone number or the account of the message, according to a mapping relationship between the telephone number or the account of the message and the permission of the participant; and determining that a reply type of the message satisfies the permission corresponding to the telephone number or the account of the message, and automatically replying with reply content; or determining that the reply type does not satisfy the permission corresponding to the telephone number or the account of the message, and automatically replying with preset content or skipping replying to the message.

[0103] The automatically replying to the message according to permission corresponding to the telephone number or the account of the message, and according to the information about the message in step 303 may specifically include:

[0104] determining the permission corresponding to the telephone number or the account of the message, according to a mapping relationship between the telephone number or the account of the message and the permission of the participant; and determining that reply content for the message satisfies the permission corresponding to the telephone number or the account of the message, and automatically replying with the reply content; or determining that the reply content does not satisfy the permission corresponding to the telephone number or the account of the message, and automatically replying with preset content or skipping replying to the message.

[0105] The reply content may be obtained by parsing the content of the message, and a specific implementation manner may be: parsing the content of the message by using a natural language analysis processing algorithm to obtain the reply content, and if the reply content satisfies the permission corresponding to the telephone number or the account of the message, automatically replying with the reply content. For example, using an instant messaging application as an example, as shown in FIG. 3B, content of information is: “Are you there? Tell me a telephone number of Tom”, reply content that needs to be replied with after the parsing is: “Tom 18910006666”, and if the permission of the participant includes contact information, “Tom 18910006666” is automatically replied with. Certainly, in an actual application, the message may further be sent or replied to in group chat, and the permission of the participant may be a location. As shown in FIG. 3C, the content of the information is: “XX, where are you now?”, the reply content that needs to be replied with after the parsing is: “I have arrived at the YY metro station, and I will be there in about 10 minutes.”. If the permission of the participant includes a location, “I have arrived at the YY metro station, and I will be there in about 10 minutes.” is automatically replied with. The natural language analysis processing algorithm may be an algorithm such as named entity recognition or syntax parsing, or may certainly be another natural language analysis algorithm.

[0106] Step 304: If it is determined that in the at least one pre-stored event, there is no event matching the telephone number or the account of the message, automatically reply with preset content or skip replying to the message.

[0107] For the preset content in step 304, refer to the description in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2A, and details are not described herein again.

[0108] According to this solution, a message of an application is automatically replied to, it is determined in the auto-response whether reply content satisfies permission of a participant, and when the reply content satisfies the permission of the participant, the application message is automatically replied to with the reply content, or when the reply content does not satisfy the permission of the participant, the application message is automatically replied to with the preset content, to distinguish between permission of different participants, and provide different reply content for the participants according to different permission, thereby effectively protecting user privacy.

[0109] According to the method provided in the still another embodiment of this application, after a message of an application is received, a telephone number or an account of the message is matched with a pre-stored event, and if it is determined that the telephone number or the account matches an event, the message is automatically replied to according to permission corresponding to the telephone number or the account. By means of the technical solution, the message is automatically replied to, and different permission can be provided for different participants, so that a problem of dynamically adjusting permission of a participant is resolved, and user privacy is protected when a message is automatically replied to.
