Abstract

In a method for process information using a communication device, a plurality of specific events of the communication device and sets a receiver number of a receiver device are set. A specific message comprising predetermined characters and state information of the communication device is complied, upon the condition that one of the specific events is triggered. The specific message is sent to the receiver device according to the receiver number.

Claims

1. A method for sending information in a communication device, the method comprising:

setting a plurality of specific events of the communication device, and setting a receiver number of a receiver device in the communication device;

compiling a specific message comprising predetermined characters and state information of the communication device, upon the condition that one of the specific events is triggered;

sending the specific message to the receiver device according to the receiver number.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the specific events comprise a first event type representing that the communication device is in a busy state and a second event type representing that the communication device is in an available state.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the state information comprises the available state and the busy state.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the predetermined characters comprise characters of the first 32 of the American Standard Code for Information Interchange codes.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the receiver device identifies a received message and determining whether the received message is the special message, upon the condition that the receiver device receives the received message from the communication device;

obtains the state information of the communication device from the special message and obtaining a sender number of the communication device, upon the condition that the received message is the special message;

searching for the sender number from a contact list in the receiver device, and remarking the state information of the communication device at a memo of the sender number in the contact list.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the received message is determined to be the message, upon the condition that the predetermined characters are found in the received message.

7. A method for receiving instant information in a communication device, the method comprising:

identifying a received message and determining whether the received message is a specific message, in response to receiving the received message from a sender device, the specific message representing a message comprising predetermined characters and state information of the sender device;

obtaining the state information of the sender device from the specific message and obtaining a sender number of the sender device, upon the condition that the received message is the specific message;

searching for the sender number from a contact list in the communication device, and remarking the state information of the sender device at a memo of the sender number in the contact list.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the received message is determined to be the specific message, upon the condition that the predetermined characters are found in the received message.

9. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the state information comprises an available state and a busy state of the sender device.

10. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the predetermined characters comprise characters of the first 32 of the American Standard Code for Information Interchange codes.

11. The method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the sender device sets a plurality of specific events of the sender device, and sets a receiver number of the communication device in the sender device;

compiles the specific message comprising predetermined characters and state information of the sender device, upon the condition that one of the specific events is triggered;

sending the specific message to the communication device according to the receiver number.

12. The method as claimed in claim 11, wherein the specific events comprise a first event type representing that the sender device is in the busy state and a second event type representing that the sender device is in the available state.

13. A communication device, comprising:

a storage system and at least one processor; and

one or more programs that are stored in the storage system and executed by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising;

a setting module that sets a plurality of specific events of the communication device and sets a receiver number of a receiver device in the communication device;

a compilation module that compiles a specific message comprising predetermined characters and state information of the communication device, upon the condition that one of the specific events is triggered;

a sending module that sends the specific message to the receiver device according to the receiver number.

14. The communication device as claimed in claim 13, wherein the one or more programs further comprises:

an identification module that identifies a received message and determines whether the received message is the specific message, upon the condition that the communication device receives the received message from a sender device;

a process module that obtains the state information from the specific message and obtains a sender number of the sender device, upon the condition that the received message is the specific message;

the process module further searches for the sender number from a contact list in the communication device, and remarking the state information of the sender device at a memo of the sender number in the contact list.

15. The communication device as claimed in claim 14, wherein the identification module determines that the received message is the specific message, upon the condition that the predetermined characters are found in the received message,

16. The communication device as claimed in claim 13, wherein the specific events comprise a first event type representing that the communication device is in a busy state and a second event type representing that the communication device is in an available state.

17. The communication device as claimed in claim 16, wherein the state information comprises the available state and the busy state.

18. The communication device as claimed in claim 13, wherein the predetermined characters comprise characters of the first 32 of the American Standard Code for Information Interchange codes.
