On the other hand, communication information from important contacts can be set to be processed in a 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.

The invention is defined in the independent claims: additional embodiments are covered by the dependent claims.

To understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present disclosure more clearly, the present disclosure will be further described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and the specific implementations. What needs to be illustrated is that, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with one another without conflicts.

Many specific details will be described below for sufficiently understanding the present disclosure. However, the present disclosure may also be implemented adopting other manners different from those described herein. Accordingly, the protection scope of the present disclosure is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below, but only by the appended claims.

In the present disclosure, a terminal includes a first system and a second system. The first system may be a normal system, and the second system may be a safe system.

Communication information may include voice communication information and text communication information. The voice communication information may be voice call information, voice call information of third-party applications (for example, QQ, Wechat, and so on), and so on. The text communication information may be message information, mail information, text messages of the third-part applications, and so on.

<FIG> is a schematic flow chart of a processing method for communication information of the terminal in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As illustrated by <FIG>, the processing method for communication information of the terminal in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: step <NUM>, acquiring information of an initiator of communication information when the communication information is received, and step <NUM>, processing the communication information in the first system or the second system according to attribute information of the information of the initiator.

In the technical solution, the system for processing the communication information is selected according to the attribute information of the information of the initiator. On one hand, a corresponding system can be selected to process communication information from some initiators according to the attribute information set by a user. For example, communication information from some initiators are set to be processed in a specified system, which can ensure that the 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 effectively ensure safety of the communication information from the important contacts.

The information of the initiator can be contact information of the initiator (for example, a telephone number, a mail address, and so on), an identifier of the initiator (for example, a name of the initiator), and so on. Processing the voice communication information includes answering the voice call, and so on. Processing the text communication information includes viewing the text communication information, editing the text communication information, forwarding the text communication information, and so on.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, processing the communication information in the first system or the second system according to the attribute information of the information of the initiator includes: determining whether an address book of the terminal includes the information of the initiator; and processing the communication information in the first system when it is determined that the address book of the terminal does not include the information of the initiator.

In the technical solution of the embodiment, the attribute information of the information of the initiator can be that whether the initiator is a contact person of the address book of the terminal. When the initiator is not a contact person of the address book of the terminal, the communication information is directly processed in the first system (e.g., the normal system).

Additionally, when the initiator is a contact person of the address book of the terminal, on one hand, following processing can be executed, that is, when it is determined that the address book of the terminal includes the information of the initiator, the communication information is processed in the second system. On the other hand, a system related to the information of the initiator is further determined, so as to cause the system related to the information of the initiator to process the communication information. Specifically, when it is determined that the system related to the information of the initiator is the first system, or when it is determined that the information of the initiator is not related to any system, the communication information is processed in the first system. When it is determined that the system related to the information of the initiator is the second system, the communication information is processed in the second system.

According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, processing the communication information in the first system or the second system according to the attribute information of the information of the initiator includes: determining a system related to the information of the initiator according to the attribute information of the information of the initiator; processing the communication information in the first system when it is determined that the system related to the information of the initiator is the first system, or it is determined that the information of the initiator is not related to any system; and processing the communication information in the second system when it is determined that the system related to the information of the initiator is the second system.

In the technical solution of the present disclosure, whether the initiator of the communication information is a contact person of the address book of the terminal is not determined, and the communication system is directly processed in the system related to the information of the initiator. Specifically, for example, an identifier for setting related initiators can be displayed on a setting interface of the terminal system. The user can set related initiators by loading the address book, and can also set related initiators by directly inputting contact information of the initiators.

In the above technical solution, preferably, the method further includes: processing the communication information directly when it is determined that the communication information is to be processed in the first system; and encrypting the communication information when it is determined that the communication information is to be processed in the second system, so as to avoid leakage of the communication information.

In the technical solution, the communication information is encrypted when the communication information is processed in the second system (for example, the safe system), which can avoid leakage of the communication information, and can effectively ensure safety of user information. 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.

The present disclosure further provides a terminal (not shown in the accompanying drawings) which includes the processing device <NUM> for communication information of the terminal illustrated by <FIG>.

The following will specifically illustrate the technical solution of the present disclosure in combination with <FIG>, and a terminal which uses a normal system and a safe system to process an incoming call will be taken as an example.

As illustrated by <FIG>, 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 <NUM> 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.

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 <NUM>. If the "answering system" for the caller ID is set to be the system <NUM>, the incoming call is answered in the system <NUM>. If the "answering system" for the caller ID is set to be a system <NUM>, the incoming call is answered in the system <NUM>. Detailed process is illustrated by <FIG>.

As illustrated by <FIG>, a processing method for an incoming call in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure includes following.

Step <NUM>, an incoming call is received.

Step <NUM>, whether the caller ID is a strange caller ID is determined. If yes, step <NUM> is executed, otherwise, step <NUM> is executed.

Step <NUM>, 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 <NUM> is executed, otherwise, step <NUM> is executed.

Step <NUM>, 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 <NUM>", step <NUM> is executed, and if the "setting system" is set to be the "system <NUM>", step <NUM> is executed.

Step <NUM>, the incoming call is processed in the system <NUM>.

A processing method for an incoming call in accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated by <FIG>.

As illustrated by <FIG>, the processing method for an incoming call in accordance with another embodiment of the present disclosure includes following.

Step <NUM>, when it is determined that the caller ID is a strange caller ID, the incoming call is processed in the system <NUM>.

Step <NUM>, when it is determined that the caller ID is not a strange caller ID, the incoming call is processed in the system <NUM>.

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.

A processing method for an incoming call in accordance with yet another embodiment of the present disclosure can be illustrated by <FIG>.

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

Step <NUM>, whether an "answering system" is set for the caller ID is determined. If yes, step <NUM> is executed, otherwise, step <NUM> is executed.

Step <NUM>, 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 <NUM>", step <NUM> is executed. When it is determined that the "answering system" is set to be the "system <NUM>", step <NUM> is executed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
