Abstract

An apparatus and method for processing an information processing request in a mobile device. In one embodiment, the method includes: receiving an information processing request message; collecting at least one type of environmental state information associated with the mobile device if the information processing request message is not processed by the mobile device within a predetermined time; generating prompt information according to the collected environmental state information, wherein the prompting information is used to prompt a user to process the unprocessed information processing request message. Therefore, a user can timely perceive the information processing request message that has been received but not processed by the mobile device in time, thus effectively increasing the usability of the mobile device.

Claims

1. An information processing method in a mobile device, wherein the method comprises:

receiving an information processing request message;

collecting at least one type of environmental state information associated with the mobile device if the information processing request message is not processed by the mobile device within a first predetermined time; and

generating prompting information according to the collected environmental state information, wherein the prompting information is used to prompt a user to process the unprocessed information processing request message.

2. The information processing method according to claim 1, wherein the step of generating prompting information according to the collected environmental state information comprises generating the prompting information if the collected environmental state information meets a preset condition.

3. The information processing method according to claim 2, wherein the environmental state information includes at least one of the following information:

first gravity sensing information, first sound sensing information and first light sensing information;

4. The information processing method according to claim 3, wherein the preset condition includes at least one of the following conditions:

the first gravity sensing information is smaller than a preset vibration amplitude, the first sound sensing information is smaller than a preset decibel, and the first light sensing information is greater than a preset light intensity.

5. The information processing method according to claim 1, further comprising:

continuing to collect the environmental state information if the collected environmental state information fails to meet the preset condition.

6. The information processing method according to claim 2, further comprising:

continuing to collect a part of the environmental state information if the collected environmental state information fails to meet the preset condition, wherein the part of the environmental state information includes;

all the environmental state information which fails to meet the preset condition in the environmental state information, or a part of the environmental state information which fails to meet the preset condition in the environmental state information, or a part of the environmental state information selected from the environmental state information.

7. The information processing method according to claim 5, further comprising:

collecting second light sensing information if the collected environmental state information fails to meet the preset condition; and

generating the prompting information if a light intensity of the second light sensing information is greater than a light intensity of the first light sensing information.

8. The information processing method according to claim 6, further comprising:

collecting second light sensing information if the collected environmental state information fails to meet the preset condition; and

generating the prompting information if a light intensity of the second light sensing information is greater than a light intensity of the first light sensing information.

9. The information processing method according to claim 1, wherein, after the generating the prompting information, the method further comprises:

collecting second sound sensing information if the information processing request message is not processed within a second predetermined time; and

generating the prompting information if a decibel of the second sound sensing information is greater than a decibel of the first sound sensing information.

10. The information processing method according to claim 1, wherein the information processing request message comprises a call, a short message or a schedule.

11. A mobile device, comprising:

a receiving module configured to receive an information processing request message;

a first collecting module configured to collect at least one type of environmental state information associated with the mobile device if the information processing request message is not processed by the mobile device within a first predetermined time; and

a first generating module configured to generate prompting information according to the collected environmental state information, wherein the prompting information is used to prompt a user to process the unprocessed information processing request message.

12. The mobile device according to claim 11, wherein:

the first generating module is configured to generate the prompting information if the collected environmental state information meets a preset condition.

13. The mobile device according to claim 12, wherein the environmental state information includes at least one of the following information:

first gravity sensing information, first sound sensing information or first light sensing information, and the preset condition includes at least one of the following conditions;

the first gravity sensing information is smaller than a preset vibration amplitude, the first sound sensing information is smaller than a preset decibel, and the first light sensing information is greater than a preset light intensity.

14. The mobile device according to claim 12, wherein:

the first collecting module is further configured to continue to collect the environmental state information if the collected environmental state information fails to meet the preset condition.

15. The mobile device according to claim 12, wherein:

the first collecting module is further configured to continue to collect a part of the environmental state information if the collected environmental state information fails to meet the preset condition;

wherein the part of the environmental state information includes;

all environmental state information which fails to meet the preset condition in the environmental state information, or a part of the environmental state information which fails to meet the preset condition in the environmental state information, or a part of the environmental state information selected from the environmental state information.

16. The mobile device according to claim 11, further comprising:

a second collecting module configured to collect second light sensing information if the collected environmental state information fails to meet the preset condition; and

a second generating module configured to generate the prompting information if a light intensity of the second light sensing information is greater than a light intensity of the first light sensing information.

17. The mobile device according to claim 11, further comprising:

a third collecting module configured to collect second sound sensing information if the information processing request message is not processed within a second predetermined time; and

a third generating module configured to generate the prompting information if a decibel of the second sound sensing information is greater than a decibel of the first sound sensing information.
