Abstract

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.

Claims

1. A method for processing incoming calls, implemented on a mobile terminal, the method comprising:

configuring, through an application on the mobile terminal, a designated target application for receiving incoming call reminder information, and sending configuration information of configuring the designated target application for receiving the incoming call reminder information to a server of the application;

determining whether a current state of the mobile terminal where a caller number is located meets an incoming call transfer condition which comprises the mobile terminal using network access, in response to detecting that an incoming call is calling the caller number;

transferring the incoming call to the server of the application in response to determining that the current state of the mobile terminal meets the incoming call transfer condition, for the server of the application to send incoming call reminder information to the designated target application; and

receiving, by the designated target application on the mobile terminal, the incoming call reminder information sent from the server of the application.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of determining whether a current state of a mobile terminal meets an incoming call transfer condition comprises:

determining whether the current state of the mobile terminal is in a set scenario, wherein the set scenario at least comprises one of the following;

running an online application or playing an online video with the network access.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein before the step of detecting that an incoming call is calling the caller number, the method further comprises:

setting the incoming call reminder service according to the set scenario, which comprising;

in response to a scenario being the set scenario of running an online application or playing an online video, then setting;

automatically enabling the incoming call reminder service in response to the mobile terminal opening the online application or the online video.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the designated target application is an instant messaging application, and the incoming call reminder information is formed into an instant messaging message and sent to an account of the instant messaging application.

5. An apparatus for processing incoming calls, comprising:

a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to cause the processor to perform the following steps;

configuring, through an application on the mobile terminal, a designated target application for receiving incoming call reminder information, and sending configuration information of configuring the designated target application for receiving the incoming call reminder information to a server of the application;

determining whether a current state of a mobile terminal where a caller number is located meets an incoming call transfer condition which comprises the mobile terminal using network access, in response to detecting that an incoming call is calling the caller number;

transferring the incoming call to the server of the application in response to determining that the current state of the mobile terminal meets the incoming call transfer condition, for the server of the application to send incoming call reminder information to the designated target application; and

receiving, by the designated target application on the mobile terminal, the incoming call reminder information sent from the server of the application.

6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the step of determining whether a current state of a mobile terminal meets an incoming call transfer condition comprises:

determining whether the current state of the mobile terminal is in a set scenario, wherein the set scenario at least comprises one of the following;

running an online application or playing an online video with the network access.

7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein before the step of detecting that an incoming call is calling the caller number, the instructions further cause the processor to perform the following step:

setting the incoming call reminder service according to the set scenario, which comprising;

in response to a scenario being the set scenario of running an online application or playing an online video, then setting;

automatically enabling the incoming call reminder service in response to the mobile terminal opening the online application or the online video.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising instructions executable by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

configuring, through an application on the mobile terminal, a designated target application for receiving incoming call reminder information, and sending configuration information of configuring the designated target application for receiving the incoming call reminder information to a server of the application;

determining whether a current state of a mobile terminal where a caller number is located meets an incoming call transfer condition which comprises the mobile terminal using network access, in response to detecting that an incoming call is calling the caller number; and

transferring the incoming call to the server of the application in response to determining that the current state of the mobile terminal meets the incoming call transfer condition, for the server of the application to send incoming call reminder information to the designated target application; and

receiving, by the designated target application on the mobile terminal, the incoming call reminder information sent from the server of the application.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 8, wherein the step of determining whether a current state of a mobile terminal meets an incoming call transfer condition comprises:

determining whether the current state of the mobile terminal is in a set scenario, wherein the set scenario at least comprises one of the following;

running an online application or playing an online video with the network access.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9, wherein before the step of detecting that an incoming call is calling the caller number, the instructions further cause the one or more processors to perform:

setting the incoming call reminder service according to the set scenario, which comprising;

in response to a scenario being the set scenario of running an online application or playing an online video, then setting;

automatically enabling the incoming call reminder service in response to the mobile terminal opening the online application or the online video.
