Abstract

The invention can be applied to the field of communication, and provides a method and apparatus for information transmission. The method includes: detecting call status changing information of a voice call module; determining whether the call status changing information is failure information; selecting a communication number of a current callee, if the call status changing information is the failure information; triggering an edit mode in a SMS module and setting the communication number of the selected callee as a SMS recipient. As a consequence, a user can automatically enter the edit mode of the SMS module once the call fails and also automatically acquire the communication number of the current callee as the recipient number. The complex operations of switching to the SMS module and looking for the contact number can be avoided, the efficiency of information transmission is increased and meanwhile convenient user operations can be achieved.

Claims

1. A method for information transmission, wherein the method comprises the steps of:

detecting call status changing information of a voice call module;

determining whether the call status changing information is failure information;

selecting a communication number of a current callee, if the call status changing information is the failure information; and

triggering an edit mode of a SMS module and setting the selected communication number of the callee as a SMS recipient.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein before the step of triggering the edit mode of the SMS module and setting the selected communication number of the callee as the SMS recipient, the method further comprises:

determining whether the communication number of the callee is able to receive a SMS message by matching the communication number of the callee in accordance with a predefined feature library of communication numbers; and

if yes, moving to the next step, otherwise, terminating the method.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method also further comprises:

determining whether the communication number of the callee is owned by a contact person in a contact group of the caller'"'"'s contacts; and

if yes, the step of triggering the edit mode of the SMS module and setting the communication number of the selected callee as the SMS recipient comprises;

triggering the edit mode of the SMS module and setting contact persons in the contact group, which includes the selected callee, of the caller'"'"'s contacts as SMS recipients.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:

determining whether the communication number of the current callee is present in the caller'"'"'s contacts; and

if yes, acquiring a name of a contact person recorded in the caller'"'"'s contacts which corresponds to the communication number of the current callee, and copying the name of the contact person into a SMS content area under a SMS edit mode.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the failure information comprises one or more of the followings:

call rejection, off hook, no answer, powered off, not in service and short call duration time.

6. An apparatus for information transmission, wherein the apparatus comprises:

call status changing information detecting means for detecting call status changing information of a voice call module;

call status changing information determining means for determining whether the call status changing information is failure information;

communication number selecting means for selecting a communication number of a current callee, if the call status changing information is the failure information; and

SMS mode triggering means for triggering an edit mode of a SMS module and setting the selected communication number of the callee as a SMS recipient.

7. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the apparatus further comprises:

communication number matching and determining means for determining whether the communication number of the callee is able to receive a SMS message by matching the communication number of the callee in accordance with a predefined feature library of communication numbers.

8. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the apparatus further comprises:

contact group determining means for determining whether the communication number of the callee is owned by a contact person in a contact group of the caller'"'"'s contacts;

if yes, the SMS mode triggering means is further configured to trigger the edit mode of the SMS module and set contact persons in the contact group, which includes the selected callee, of the caller'"'"'s contacts as SMS recipients.

9. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the apparatus further comprises:

contact name acquiring and copying means for determining whether the communication number of the current callee is present in the caller'"'"'s contacts; and

if yes, acquiring a name of a contact person recorded in the caller'"'"'s contacts which corresponds to the communication number of the current callee, and copying the name of the contact person into a SMS content area under a SMS edit mode.

10. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the failure information comprises one or more of the followings:

call rejection, off hook, no answer, powered off, not in service and short call duration time.
