DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The following description refers to the accompanying drawings in which the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise represented. The implementations set forth in the following description of exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with aspects related to the invention as recited in the appended claims.
A communication message processing method consistent with the present disclosure can be implemented in a terminal, which can be a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or the like. An application program managing a wearable device, also referred to herein as a “management application program,” is installed on the terminal. The wearable device can be a smart band, a smart pen, a smart pendant, or the like. The terminal can include a communication component and a positioning component. The communication component is configured to process data transmission associated with a communication message. The positioning component is configured to detect position information of the terminal, and can be a Global Positioning System (GPS) or the like. The terminal can be further equipped with a processor, a memory, a transceiver, and the like. The processor can be configured to process the communication message, and the memory is configured to store data required and/or generated during processing of the communication message. The terminal can be further provided with an input/output device, such as a screen, etc. The screen is configured to display an operation interface of the terminal, or the like, and can be, for example, a touch screen. The wearable device can include a positioning component configured to detect position information of the wearable device and can further include a communication component configured to interact with the terminal. The communication component can be, for example, a Bluetooth component, a Wireless-Fidelity (WiFi) component, or the like. The wearable device can further include a processor, a memory, and other components. In some embodiments, the terminal can be a mobile phone and the wearable device can be a band.
FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing a method 100 for processing a communication message according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, at 101, a distance between a terminal and a bound wearable device. This distance is also referred to herein as a “terminal distance.” In some embodiments, a management application program in the terminal can be used to set the binding between the wearable device and the terminal. After a user binds the terminal with the wearable device, the user can further turn on an auto-reply function in the management application program, which can trigger the terminal to send a distance query request to a server, e.g., a backend server of the management application program. After receiving the distance query request, the server acquires position information of the terminal and the wearable device for every preset period, such as one minute, calculates the distance between the terminal and the wearable device, i.e., the terminal distance, and sends a calculated distance to the terminal.
At 102, the terminal is switched to an auto-reply mode when the terminal distance exceeds a preset distance threshold. The auto-reply mode can be a profile of the terminal, in which the terminal automatically replies to received messages such as short messages, incoming calls, social application program messages, or the like. In some embodiments, the preset distance threshold can be set in the management application program by the user according to the user's actual needs, such as one kilometer or five kilometers. FIG. 2 schematically shows an exemplary communication message processing interface of the management application program installed on the terminal. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the preset distance threshold is set to one kilometer.
In some embodiments, after the terminal receives the terminal distance, the management application program determines whether the terminal distance is greater than the preset distance threshold. The terminal distance being greater than the preset distance threshold may infer that the user has forgotten to carry the terminal, and a local profile in the terminal can be switched to the auto-reply mode.
In the embodiments discussed above, whether the user forgets to carry the terminal is determined based on whether the terminal distance is greater than the preset distance threshold. In other embodiments, however, whether the user forgets to carry the terminal can be determined based on a continuous time period during which the terminal distance exceeds the preset distance threshold. Correspondingly, the terminal is switched to the auto-reply mode when the continuous time period, during which the terminal distance exceeds the preset distance threshold, reaches a preset duration threshold. The duration threshold can be set in the management application program by the user according to the user's actual needs, or can be preset in the management application program by a technical person. The duration threshold can be set to be, for example, five minutes, 30 minutes, or the like.
In some embodiments, after the terminal receives the terminal distance periodically sent by the server, the management application program compares the terminal distance received each time with the preset distance threshold. If each time in a specified duration, i.e., the preset duration threshold, the terminal distance is greater than the preset distance threshold, it is determined that the user has forgotten to carry the terminal, and a local profile can be switched to the auto-reply mode.
At 103, an application program is controlled to send a preset reply message to a sender of a communication message when the application program receives the communication message while the terminal is in the auto-reply mode. The reply message sent by the application program while the terminal is in the auto-reply mode is also referred to herein as an “auto-reply message.” The communication message may be a short message, an incoming call, or the like. The reply message can be one of related messages configured to illustrate that the user forgets to carry the terminal. The related messages can be set in the management application by the user or by a technical staff person.
In some embodiments, if the current profile of the terminal is the auto-reply mode, the management application program can monitor communication message receiving events of application programs in the terminal that have a communication function, such as a short message application program, a telephone application program, an instant messaging application program, etc. Such an application program is also referred to as a “communication application program.” When the management application program detects that a communication application program receives a communication message, the management application program can control the communication application program to send a reply message to the sender of the communication message through a pre-stored interface provided by the communication application program. For example, when detecting that the communication program Wechat receives a communication message sent by a contact account, the management application program can control Wechat to send a preset reply message such as “The subscriber forgot to carry the mobile phone. Please contact later.” to the contact account. In some embodiments, one single reply message can be set in the management application program. Alternatively, different reply messages can be set according to current position information of the wearable device or current time. In addition, words like “[Automatic reply]” can be added at the beginning or the end of each reply message to indicate that the message is not sent by the user manually.
As mentioned above, reply messages can be sent based on position information. For example, a corresponding relation between position information and reply messages can be pre-stored in the terminal. This corresponding relation is also referred to herein as a “position-message corresponding relation.” When the communication application program receives a communication message while the terminal is in the auto-reply mode, a reply message corresponding to a current position of the wearable device is determined according to the pre-stored position-message corresponding relation. The communication application program is then controlled to send the determined reply message to the sender of the received communication message.
In some embodiments, a table of position-message corresponding relation, such as Table 1, can be stored in the management application program. Such a table is also referred to herein as a “position-message corresponding table.” The position information can be place names. For example, the user can click on a map to input place names, and edit corresponding reply messages. Alternatively, the user can select corresponding reply messages from reply messages preset by the technical staff person. In the position-message corresponding table, the user can add his/her common position information and corresponding reply messages. For example, the name of the user's work place is “Zhongguan Building,” and a corresponding reply message can be “The subscriber is at work and has forgotten to carry the mobile phone. Please contact later” or “The subscriber is at work and has forgotten to carry the mobile phone. Please call XXXXXX.” A corresponding reply message for “XX cinema” can be “The subscriber is watching a movie. Please contact later.” A corresponding reply message for “XX supermarket” can be “The subscriber is in the supermarket. Please contact later.” Thus, when the management application program detects that the communication application program receives a communication message while the terminal is in the auto-reply mode, a current position name in current position information of the wearable device can be acquired, a position name in the position-message corresponding table that matches the current position name of the wearable device is found, and then a reply message corresponding to the position name is determined. The communication application program is then controlled to send the determined reply message to the sender of the communication message through a pre-stored interface provided by the communication application program.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3a, when “Zhongguan Building” as a position name of the wearable device is acquired, the terminal can control the communication application program to send a reply message “The subscriber is at work and has forgotten to carry the mobile phone. Please contact later” to the sender of the communication message. As shown in FIG. 3b, when “Wanda Cinema” as a position name of the wearable device is acquired, the terminal can control the communication application program to send a reply message “The subscriber is watching a movie. Please contact later” to the sender of the communication message. As shown in FIG. 3c, when “Yonghui Supermarket” as a position name of the wearable device is acquired, the terminal can control the communication application program to send a reply message “The subscriber is in the supermarket. Please contact later” to the sender of the communication message. As shown in FIG. 3d, when “Sunshine Plaza” as a position name of the wearable device is acquired, the terminal can control the first application program to send a reply message “The subscriber is exercising. Please contact later” to the sender of the communication message.
In some embodiments, after the terminal acquires a current position name of the wearable device, if the position name cannot be found from the position-message corresponding table, a position nearest to the current position, also referred to herein as a “nearest position,” can be acquired from the position-message corresponding table. Then it is determined whether a distance between the current position and the nearest position, also referred to herein as a “position distance,” is smaller than a threshold distance, such as 100 meters. If the position distance is smaller than the threshold distance, a reply message corresponding to the nearest position is acquired, and the communication application program is controlled to send the reply message to the sender of the communication message. If the position distance is larger than the threshold distance, a default reply message, such as “The subscriber has forgotten to carry the mobile phone. Please contact later,” can be acquired, and then the communication application program is controlled to send the default reply message to the sender of the communication message.
As described above, the user can manually add position information and corresponding reply messages into the position-message corresponding table. In some embodiments, position information and corresponding reply messages can also be determined according to a statistic of the user's historical position information, and automatically added to the position-message corresponding relation. This can be done by determining a usage scene corresponding to certain position information according to the historical position information of the wearable device within a preset historical duration, determining a reply message corresponding to the certain position information according to the usage scene corresponding to the certain position information, and adding the certain position information and the corresponding reply message to the position-message corresponding relation.
For example, the preset historical duration can be one year, one month, or the like. A corresponding relation between usage scenes and reply messages can be pre-stored in the management application program, and the usage scene can be set as working, running, supermarket shopping, or the like. The management application program can also provide a calendar to the user to define the time periods corresponding to the usage scenes, such as a working period, a running period, a supermarket shopping period, and the like. For example, the user can set the working period to be from 8:00 to 18:00 Monday to Friday, the running period to be from 20:00 to 21:00 every day, the supermarket shopping period to be from 8:00 to 10:00 every Sunday, and so on. For one time period, the terminal can acquire position information of the wearable device within that time period and determine a number of appearance times that each item of position information appears during that time period in the historical duration. For each item of position information appearing during that time period in the historical duration, the terminal determines an appearance ratio, i.e., a ratio of the number of appearance times of that item of position information to the total number of appearance times of all position information. The terminal then sets the item of position information having an appearance ratio larger than a preset ratio threshold, e.g., 60%, as the position information of the usage scene corresponding to that time period. A reply message corresponding to that position information can be determined according to the corresponding relation between usage scenes and reply messages, and then the position information and the determined reply message are added to the position-message corresponding relation.
In the exemplary methods described above, reply messages are sent according to position information of the wearable device. In some embodiments, a reply message can be sent according to a pre-stored corresponding relation between times and reply messages. Such a corresponding relation is also referred to as a “time-message corresponding relation.” Thus, when the communication application program receives a communication message while the terminal is in the auto-reply mode, a reply message corresponding to a current time is determined according to the pre-stored time-message corresponding relation, and the communication application program is controlled to send the determined reply message to the sender of the commutation message.
In some embodiments, a table of time-message corresponding relation, such as Table 2, can be pre-stored in the management application program. Such a table is also referred to herein as a “time-message corresponding table.” The time-message corresponding table can include reply messages corresponding to different time periods and can be edited by the user. For example, as shown in Table 2, the user can add a reply message “The subscriber is at work and has forgotten to carry the mobile phone. Please contact later” corresponding to a time period between 9:00 to 18:00 from Monday to Friday, a reply message “The subscriber is running and has forgotten to carry the mobile phone. Please contact later” corresponding to a time period from 20:00 to 21:00 every day, a reply message “The subscriber is sleeping” corresponding to a time period from 22:00 to next 7:00, and the like, into the time-message corresponding table.

Thus, if the profile of the terminal is the auto-reply mode, when the terminal detects that the communication application program receives a communication message, the terminal can acquire a communication message receiving time, identify a time period including the communication message receiving time in the time-message corresponding table, and acquire a reply message corresponding to the identified time period from the time-message corresponding table. Then, the terminal can control the communication application program to send the acquired reply message to the sender of the communication message through a pre-stored interface provided by the communication application program.
For example, as shown in FIG. 4a, if a communication message receiving time acquired by the terminal is 10:00 am, the communication application program is controlled to send “The subscriber is at work and has forgotten to carry the mobile phone, Please contact later” to the sender of the communication message. As shown in FIG. 4b, if a communication message receiving time acquired by the terminal is 20:30, the communication application program is controlled to send “The subscriber is running and has forgotten to carry the mobile phone. Please contact later” to the sender of the communication message. As shown in FIG. 4c, if a communication message receiving time acquired by the terminal is 23:15, the communication application program is controlled to send “The subscriber is sleeping” to the sender of the communication message.
In some embodiments, a reply message can be sent automatically according to a calendar stored in the terminal. That is, when the communication application program receives a communication message while the terminal is in the auto-reply mode, current event information corresponding to a current time is determined according to the calendar stored in the terminal, a reply message corresponding to the current event information is determined according to a pre-stored corresponding relation between event information and reply messages, and the communication application program is controlled to send the determined reply message to the sender of the communication message. The corresponding relation between event information and reply messages is also referred to herein as an “event-message corresponding relation.”
In some embodiments, the user can set daily event information, including the event's subject, time, and location, in the calendar. Table 3 is an exemplary table of event-message corresponding relation, which can be set in the management application program. Such a table is also referred to herein as an “event-message corresponding table.” The event-message corresponding table can include reply messages corresponding to different events, which can be edited by the user. For example, a reply message corresponding to event information of “At meeting” is “The subscriber is at meeting. Please contact later,” a reply message corresponding to event information of “Watching a movie” is “The subscriber is watching a movie. Please contact later,” and so on.

If the profile of the terminal is the auto-reply mode, when the terminal detects that the communication application program receives a communication message, the terminal can acquire a calendar of the user and a current time, identify event information corresponding to the current time from the calendar, determine a reply message corresponding to the current event information from the event-message corresponding table, and then control the communication application program to send the determined reply message to the sender of the communication message through a pre-stored interface provided by the communication application program.
In some embodiments, after the calendar and the current time are acquired, if the calendar does not have event information corresponding to the current time, or the event information corresponding to the current time is not in the event-message corresponding table, a default reply message, such as “The subscriber has forgotten to carry the mobile phone. Please contact later” can be acquired.
In some embodiments, when the user is in a sleep state, the terminal can also switch a current profile to the auto-reply mode. In some embodiments, the user is determined to be in the sleep state when sleep state information of the user sent by the wearable device is received. In some embodiments, the wearable device can use a gravity sensor to detect the user's sleep state. For example, when the wearable device detects that the user has not moved for 15 minutes, the wearable device sends user's sleep state information to the terminal. After the terminal receives the user's sleep state information sent by the wearable device, the management application program determines that the user is in the sleep state according to the user's sleep state information, and switches the local profile to the auto-reply mode.
