Abstract

An incoming-call management method of mobile telecommunication devices is provided. The method includes offering options for telephone holder and caller, and controls the procedure according to the telephone holder's setting and caller's decisions.

Claims (37)

1. An incoming-call management method of a mobile telecommunication device, comprising:

comparing a phone number of a incoming-call from a caller with data in a database of the mobile telecommunication device belonging to a user;

allowing the incoming call to be answered by the user when the phone number matches the data of a first database group in the database; and

providing selectable response processes to the caller to select when the phone number does not match the data of the first database group in the database, wherein the response processes comprises:

waiting the user to allow the incoming call to be answered; and

ending the incoming call from the caller and leaving missed call information to the user,

wherein when the response process of ending the incoming call from the caller and leaving missed call information to the user is selected, the mobile telecommunication device records a message of text, voice or image of the incoming-call.

2. The incoming-call management method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first database group includes the phone numbers must be answered.

3. The incoming-call management method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein when waiting the user to allow the incoming-call to be answered is selected, the mobile telecommunication device displays a message for reminding the user.

4. The incoming-call management method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein when the incoming-call is answered, a message of text or predetermined option is transmitted to a phone with the phone number of the incoming-call.

5. The incoming-call management method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein when the incoming-call is answered, a sound reception function of the mobile communication device is disabled to prevent the sound of the environment is transmitted out.

6. The incoming-call management method as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising an artificial voice assistant to transform the message of text to a voice message for transmitting out.

7. The incoming-call management method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein when the mobile telecommunication device detects no any response is selected by the caller and the phone number does not match the data of a first database group in the database, the mobile telecommunication device records the phone number and calling time of the incoming-call.

8. An incoming-call management method, comprising:

(a) receiving an incoming-call from a caller by an mobile communication device belonging to a user;

(b) comparing a phone number of the incoming-call with data in a database of the mobile telecommunication device;

(c) allowing the incoming-call to be answered by the user when the phone number matches the data of a first database group in the database; and

(d) checking whether a information of the incoming-call is available in the mobile communication device, when the phone number does not match the data of the first database group in the database; and

(e) providing selectable responses to the caller of the incoming-call by the mobile telecommunication device when the information of the incoming-call is available in the mobile communication device, wherein the response processes comprises:

waiting the user to allow the incoming call to be answered; and

ending the incoming call from the caller and leaving missed call information to the user,

wherein when the response process of ending the incoming call from the caller and leaving missed call information to the user is selected, the mobile telecommunication device records a message of text, voice or image of the incoming-call.

9. The incoming-call management method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein when allowing the incoming-call being answered by a user, the incoming-call management method further comprises:

determining whether to answer the incoming-call immediately;

sending a message for reminding of answering the incoming-call immediately when the incoming-call is to be answered immediately; and

sending a waiting message for asking waiting for being answered before the incoming-call is answered when the incoming-call is not to be answered immediately.

10. The incoming-call management method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein when the information is not available in the mobile communication device, the incoming-call information is requested to be left by the incoming-call management method and then executes step (e).

11. The incoming-call management method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the leaving missed call information is the phone number, phone number owner or time of the incoming-call.

12. The incoming-call management method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the selectable responses further comprises call on-line holding, wherein the call on line holding comprises:

providing a message for reminding of the incoming-call is on-line for being answered by the mobile communication device.

13. The incoming-call management method as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the message is an image, a sound or a vibration as a periodical reminder.

14. The incoming-call management method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the selectable responses further comprises asking for calling back, wherein the asking for calling back comprises:

recording the phone number and calling time of the incoming-call and periodically reminding of calling back by the mobile telecommunication device.

15. The incoming-call management method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the selectable responses further comprises leaving the message, wherein the leaving the message comprises:

recording the left voice message from the incoming-call in the mobile telecommunication device.

16. The incoming-call management method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the selectable responses further comprises recording incoming-call information, wherein the recording incoming-call information comprises:

recording the phone number, phone number owner of the incoming-call or time of the incoming-call in the mobile telecommunication device.
