Mobile Terminal Incoming Call Transfer to Server
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In 3G and 4G network environments, incoming calls often interrupt network access, leading to a poor user experience, as existing solutions either block all calls or require fee-based SMS reminders, which are limited and ineffective, especially when the mobile device is powered off.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that transfers incoming calls to a server, which sends reminder information to a designated target application, allowing for flexible call management and preventing interruptions during network use, using a mobile terminal with a processor and memory that determines the call transfer condition and transfers the call to a server for reminder processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If incoming calls are blocked to prevent network access interruption, then network access stability is improved, but call delivery reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the mobile terminal and the incoming call. When the terminal is in network access state, the server receives the incoming call and sends reminder information to the terminal via messaging applications, rather than directly blocking or delivering the call. This intermediary approach allows network access to remain stable while still providing call delivery capability through alternative channels.
2Adaptability or versatility
If SMS-based incoming call reminder service is used, then call reminder functionality is provided, but cost and accessibility deteriorate due to fee-based model and limitation when device is powered off
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the reminder system universal by supporting multiple communication channels including messaging applications (QQ, WeChat, etc.) and telephone numbers. The server can send reminders through any of these channels regardless of the terminal's power state, eliminating the limitations of SMS-based systems. This multi-channel approach ensures the system works whether the device is powered on or off, and provides free service without requiring premium SMS fees.
3Stability of the object's composition
If automatic call transfer to server is implemented, then network access interruption is prevented, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by having the mobile terminal automatically detect its network access state and autonomously decide whether to transfer incoming calls to the server. The terminal monitors its own state (whether network access is active) and automatically initiates the transfer process without requiring user intervention or complex external control systems. This automated self-service approach prevents network interruption while keeping the complexity manageable by leveraging the terminal's own state information.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a method, apparatus, and system for processing incoming calls. The method includes: determining whether a current state of a mobile terminal where a caller number is located meets an incoming call transfer condition in response to detecting that an incoming call is calling the caller number; and transferring the incoming call to a server in response to determining that the current state of the mobile terminal meets the incoming call transfer condition, for the server to send incoming call reminder information to a designated target application.
