Abstract

An instant communication system comprising an instant communication server, a plurality of mobile terminals, and a communication network is provided; the instant communication server includes an instant communication server processor and an instant communication server memory electrically connected to the instant communication server processor; each of the mobile terminals includes a terminal central processor, a terminal communication processor, a display unit, a terminal memory, and at least one information storage unit configured for storing a CID (Calling ID); the terminal central processor is electrically connected with the display unit and the terminal communication processor respectively; the terminal communication processor is further electrically connected with the information storage unit to obtain the CID. The following advantageous effect can be achieved: communications using different phone numbers of one mobile terminal can be distinguished from each other.

Claims

1. An instant communication system, comprising:

an instant communication server, a plurality of mobile terminals, and a communication network;

wherein, the instant communication server includes an instant communication server processor and an instant communication server memory electrically connected to the instant communication server processor;

each of the mobile terminals includes a terminal central processor, a terminal communication processor, a display unit, a terminal memory, and at least one information storage unit configured for storing a CID (Calling ID);

the terminal central processor is electrically connected with the display unit and the terminal communication processor respectively;

the terminal communication processor is further electrically connected with the information storage unit to obtain the CID;

each of the mobile terminals communicates with the instant communication server via the communication network; and

the terminal central processor of each of the mobile terminals communicates with the instant communication server processor of the instant communication server;

when any one of the mobile terminals contacts the instant communication server for the first time, a MTID (Mobile Terminal ID) corresponding to the mobile terminal is automatically obtained by the mobile terminal, and the MTID is stored in the instant communication server memory and the terminal memory of the mobile terminal respectively;

when the mobile terminal is communicatingly connected to the instant communication server, the instant communication server obtains the CID stored in the terminal memory of the mobile terminal, and builds a map between this CID and the MTID of the mobile terminal or another of the mobile terminals;

in this instant communication system, when any one of the mobile terminals sends communication information to another of the mobile terminals using the CID mapped to the MTID of the calling mobile terminal, the calling mobile terminal sends the CID mapped to the MTID of the calling mobile terminal, the communication information, and the CID of the called mobile terminal to the instant communication server;

when the instant communication server receives the CID of the called mobile terminal, the instant communication server obtains the MTID of the called mobile terminal mapped to the CID of the called mobile terminal, and sends the CID of the calling mobile terminal and the communication information received by the instant communication server to the called mobile terminal;

when the called mobile terminal receives the CID of the calling mobile terminal and the communication information sent from the instant communication server, the CID of the calling mobile terminal and the communication information received by the called mobile terminal are shown by the display unit of the called mobile terminal.

2. The instant communication system according to claim 1, wherein, the mobile terminals are cell phones, and/or tablet computers, and/or wearable electronic devices.

3. The instant communication system according to claim 1, wherein, the communication network is mobile telecommunication network and/or the Internet.

4. The instant communication system according to claim 3, wherein, the information storage unit is a SIM card;

and the CID is a telephone number.

5. The instant communication system according to claim 4, wherein, each of the mobile terminals includes an information transceiver;

and the MTID is a user account of the information transceiver.

6. The instant communication system according to claim 5, wherein, the information transceiver is an IM Client.

7. The instant communication system according to claim 6, wherein, when the CID is mapped to a plurality of user accounts of the information transceivers respectively, and the instant communication server receives the communication information sent from the calling mobile terminal, the instant communication server sends the communication information to a called mobile terminal including a user account of an information transceiver last mapped to this CID.

8. A method for building a map between a CID and a MTID using the instant communication system according to claim 6, wherein, the method includes these steps:

using a user account of an information transceiver to log in an application interface of an information transceiver;

using the mobile terminal equipped with the information transceiver to deliver the user account of the information transceiver and a CID registered under the user account to the instant communication server;

using the instant communication server to build a map between the user account of the information transceiver and the CID registered under the user account.

9. A method for building a map between a CID and a MTID using the instant communication system according to claim 6, wherein, the method includes these steps:

Inserting an information storage unit storing a constant CID into an buckling recess of a vice mobile terminal configured for accommodating the information storage unit, so that the information storage unit is electrically connected to a terminal communication processor of the vice mobile terminal defining the buckling recess;

using a primary mobile terminal to send a request for building a map between the stored CID and a MTID of the primary mobile terminal to the instant communication server;

using the instant communication server to receive the request and send a short message including a security code to the vice mobile terminal;

using the primary mobile terminal to further send the security code to the instant communication server;

using the instant communication server to receive the security code sent from the primary mobile terminal and determine whether the received security code and the security code sent to the vice mobile terminal by the instant communication server are the same;

if the two security codes are the same, building the map between the CID and the MTID of the primary mobile terminal.

10. A method for building a map between a CID and a MTID using the instant communication system according to claim 6, wherein, the method includes these steps:

using a mobile terminal having a MTID (hereinafter referred to as “

initial MTID”

) to send a request for building a map between the initial MTID and a CID mapped to another MTID (hereinafter referred to as “

objective MTID”

) to the instant communication server;

using the instant communication server to receive the request and send a request confirmation including a security code to a mobile terminal having the objective MTID;

using the mobile terminal having the initial MTID to send the security code to the instant communication server;

using the instant communication server to receive the security code sent from the mobile terminal having the initial MTID and determine whether the received security code and the security code sent to the mobile terminal having the objective MTID by the instant communication server are the same;

if the two security codes are the same, building the map between the CID mapped to the objective MTID and the initial MTID.
