Abstract

A calling method using a short message transmission on a calendar group is utilized to send a coded calendar in a man machine interface of a mobile device from this mobile device to another mobile device through a short message transmission. A short message is decoded by using a same decoding method used for the transmitter mobile device to transfer into a corresponding calendar state in the receiver mobile device after it receives the short message in order to inform a meeting participant or a group member a meeting appointment, meeting time or other messages. And, a function such as an alarm time prompting can be set for a receiver side to mention the receiver through a same manner. Therefore, not only calendar-receiving mobility can be increased, but also expenses can be saved because informing meeting participants by telephone is unnecessary if the method according to the present invention is used.

Claims (44)

1. A method for transmitting an application state of a mobile device by a short message type, mainly comprising:

(a) switching to a calendar function of a message originator's mobile device;

(b) setting in the message originator's mobile device a calendar short message transmission establishment function;

(c) setting in the message originator's mobile device a meeting group to be transmitted;

(d) compiling an application state of calendar software to be transmitted by the message originator's mobile device through a coding mode designed in man machine interface software of the message originator's mobile device;

(e) transmitting said coded application state to a mobile device of a receiver through a short message transmission manner; and

(f) decoding the content of said short message through a decoding mode same as said coding mode and transferring said decoded short message to a corresponding state in the receiver's mobile device after said receiver's mobile device receives said short message, thereby causing said corresponding state in the receiver's mobile device to be the same as the application state of the calendar software in the message originator's mobile device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said application state comprises an alarm setting, memo content and calling mode.

3. A method for transmitting a calendar short message, mainly comprising:

(1) entering a short message transmission setting of a calendar function table in a mobile device;

(2) selecting or editing a content of a message;

(3) selecting a receiver including a person or group;

(4) choosing and setting an alarm time and type in said mobile device of said person and said group

(5) compiling said selected or edited message through a calendar short message coding mode in said mobile device; and

(6) transmitting said message to a receiver's mobile device by a short message transmission.

4. A method for receiving a calendar short message, mainly comprising the following steps:

(1) a calendar short message receiving person or group's mobile device is in standby mode;

(2) said mobile device receiving codes of said calendar short message;

(3) opening said calendar short message;

(4) decoding said calendar short message;

(5) displaying a content of said short message; and

(6) said mobile device further enabling setting of a calendar alarm or message prompt in response to decoding of said calendar short message.

5. A calling method using a short message transmission on a calendar group, mainly taking three procedures: a calendar short message transmission, a calendar short message receiving and a calendar short message activation; wherein said calendar short message transmission comprises the following steps:

(1) enter a calendar short message transmission setting of a calendar function table in a mobile device;

(2) choose calendar short message receivers;

(3) edit a content of said calendar short message;

(4) choose and set an alarm time and type for a calendar short message of a receiver's mobile device;

(5) process compiling on said content of said calendar short message through a calendar short message coding method;

(6) transmit said content through a short message; and

(7) go back to said calendar function table after said transmission;

wherein said calendar short message receiving comprises:

(8) enter a standby mode of said receiver's mobile device;

(9) receive said calendar short message in said receiver's mobile device;

(10) open said calendar short message;

(11) decode said calendar short message;

(12) display said content of said short message; and

(13) set a calendar alarm or short message prompting;

wherein said calendar short message activation comprises:

(14) enter a standby mode of said receiver's mobile device;

(15) activate calendar short message;

(16) display said content of said calendar short message and activate said alarm to remind said receiver;

(17) close said calendar short message and stop said alarm; and

(18) go back to said standby mode.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein said receiver is a person or group.
