Method and terminal for processing short message

Abstract

Method and terminal for processing short message are provided, wherein the method includes: when a short message is received, an index identifier corresponding to the short message is created, and the index identifier is stored into a preset index file, and the short message is stored into a preset message file according to the index identifier. The method performs processes to short message in storage space of mobile terminal according to actual data length of short message, and stores as many short messages as possible in limited storage space.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The disclosure relates to the field of mobile communication, and in particular to a method and a terminal for processing short message in an intelligent subscriber identity card.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]At present, with the development of mobile communication technology, the short message service has become a popularized service ranked second in frequency of use of all mobile communication services, because of the low expense and convenience in communication. Many value-added services, such as weather forecast and information delivery, of operators are increasingly introduced by taking the advantages of short message.[0003]Therefore, the importance of the function and method of storing the short message to the mobile terminal is self-evident. The memory of mobile terminal itself can store short message. Nonetheless, because a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card has the unique feature of being replaceable and pluggable, users prefer to store shor...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a method and a terminal device for improving the storage capacity of short messages in mobile devices, such as SIM cards. The method involves storing short messages based on their actual data length and deleting them based on the same data length. This allows for more short messages to be stored in limited storage space, improving the utilization ratio of storage space, saving resources, and providing convenience for mobile device manufacturers and users.

Problems solved by technology

If space is reserved for each short message according to a fixed length, then the actually reserved space cannot be fully utilized because of different data length of each short message, thereby reducing the number of short messages actually stored in limited storage space, and inevitably wasting resources.
