Encrypting the communication information may include encrypting the text communication information, for example, hiding sensitive content of the text communication information, or replacing the sensitive content of the text communication information with other content, and performing anti-eavesdrop process on the voice communication information.

[0034] The present disclosure further provides a terminal (not shown in the accompanying drawings) which includes the processing device 200 for communication information of the terminal illustrated by FIG. 2.

[0035] The following will specifically illustrate the technical solution of the present disclosure in combination with FIGS. 3-6, and a terminal which uses a normal system and a safe system to process an incoming call will be taken as an example.

[0036] As illustrated by FIG. 3, the terminal in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a virtual layer. When an incoming call is received, the virtual layer firstly queries a contact database to determine whether the caller identification (ID) is in a contact list of the terminal. If the caller ID is not found, it indicates that the caller ID is a strange caller ID, and the virtual layer controls a system 1 to answer the incoming call. If the caller ID is found, it indicates that the caller ID is in the contact list, and following operations will be executed.

[0037] The terminal system determines whether an "answering system" is set for the caller ID. If an "answering system" is not set for the caller ID, the incoming call is answered in the default system, that is, the system 1. If the "answering system" for the caller ID is set to be the system 1, the incoming call is answered in the system 1. If the "answering system" for the caller ID is set to be a system 2, the incoming call is answered in the system 2. Detailed process is illustrated by FIG. 4.

[0038] As illustrated by FIG. 4, a processing method for an incoming call in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure includes following.

[0039] Step 402, an incoming call is received.

[0040] Step 404, whether the caller ID is a strange caller ID is determined. If yes, step 410 is executed, otherwise, step 406 is executed.

[0041] Step 406, when it is determined that the caller ID is not a strange caller ID, whether an "answering system" is set for the caller ID is determined. If yes, step 408 is executed, otherwise, step 410 is executed.

[0042] Step 408, when it is determined that an "answering system" is set for the caller ID, the "answering system" is determined. If the "answering system" is set to be the "system 1", step 410 is executed, and if the "setting system" is set to be the "system 2", step 412 is executed.

[0043] Step 410, the incoming call is processed in the system 1.

[0044] Step 412, the incoming call is processed in the system 2.

[0045] A processing method for an incoming call in accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated by FIG. 5.

[0046] As illustrated by FIG. 5, the processing method for an incoming call in accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure includes following.

[0047] Step 502, an incoming call is received.

[0048] Step 504, whether the caller ID is a strange caller ID is determined. If yes, step 506 is executed, otherwise, step 508 is executed.

[0049] Step 506, when it is determined that the caller ID is a strange caller ID, the incoming call is processed in the system 1.

[0050] Step 508, when it is determined that the caller ID is not a strange caller ID, the incoming call is processed in the system 2.

[0051] In the embodiment, which system is determined to be used to process the incoming call is determined by determining whether the caller ID is a strange caller ID.

[0052] A processing method for an incoming call in accordance with yet another embodiment of the present disclosure can be illustrated by FIG. 6.

[0053] As illustrated by FIG. 6, the processing method for an incoming call in accordance with yet another embodiment of the present disclosure includes following.

[0054] Step 602, an incoming call is received.

[0055] Step 604, whether an "answering system" is set for the caller ID is determined. If yes, step 606 is executed, otherwise, step 608 is executed.

[0056] Step 606, when it is determined that an "answering system" is set for the caller ID, the "answering system" is determined. When it is determined that the "answering system" is set to be the "system 1", step 608 is executed. When it is determined that the "answering system" is set to be the "system 2", step 610 is executed.

[0057] Step 608, the incoming call is processed in the system 1.

[0058] Step 610, the incoming call is processed in the system 2.

[0059] In the embodiment, which system is determined to be used to process the incoming call is determined according to the "answering system" for the caller ID.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, an option for setting an "answering system" can be added to a contact editing interface of the terminal system. By means of the option, the user can select a system to answer the incoming call according to user's needs. Specifically, for an incoming call which needs to be kept secret or from an important contact person, a system having a high safe performance can be set to answer the incoming call. For an incoming call from an unimportant contact person or from a strange person, a normal system can be set to answer the incoming call. The processing method for other communication information is similar to the processing method for an incoming call, which will not be repeated herein.

[0061] In accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure, a setting option for correlating contact persons with systems can be added to a setting interface of the terminal system. The user can perform operations to correlate contact persons with systems by downloading the address book, and can also perform operations to correlate contact persons with systems by inputting telephone numbers.

[0062] For those skilled in the art, what needs to be understood is that in the present disclosure, the dual-system terminal is taken as an example to illustrate the processing scheme for communication information. Terminals having three or more systems can adopt the technical solution of the present disclosure to process communication information. That is, each system can adopt a corresponding process method for communication information. For example, for the dual-system terminal, the communication information can be directly processed in the normal system, or can be encrypted in the safety system.

[0063] The above specifically illustrates the technical solution of the present disclosure. In the present disclosure, a new processing method for communication information of a terminal is provided. On one hand, a user can independently set a system for processing communication information, thus operation experience of the user can be improved. On the other hand, communication information from important contacts can be set to be processed in the safe system, which can avoid leakage of the communication information from the important contacts, and can effectively ensure safety of the communication information from the important contacts.

[0064] The foregoing descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, but are not intended to limit the present disclosure. For those skilled in the art, various changes and variations can be made according to the present disclosure, within the scope of the claims.
