said phone number marking module is used for receiving marking information that is inputted by the user and is correlated with said phone number, and delivering said marking information to the cloud number database.

2. The system for intelligent call blocking with block mode according to claim 1, characterized in that said marking information at least includes one of or a combination of:

the phone number security level prompt message, the phone number type, and number of terminal users that have marked the phone number.

3. The system for intelligent call blocking with block mode according to claim 2, characterized in that it further comprises:

an interception module, for performing corresponding interception operations on phone numbers of different phone number security levels or different phone number types, according to the setting of the user.

4. The system for intelligent call blocking with block mode according to claim 3, characterized in that:

said marking module records data of the interception operation performed on said phone number by said interception module, and uploads the interception operation to said cloud number database;

said cloud number database stores said uploaded interception operation data, correlating such interception operation and the security level or the phone number type of the phone number;

wherein as for other phone number that has same security level or same phone number type as said phone number, said cloud number database delivers said correlated interception operation data to said interception module, so that said interception module handles all the phone numbers that have same security level as said calling number of the incoming call, in light of said interception operation.

5. The system for intelligent call blocking with block mode according to claim 1, characterized in that it further comprises:

a terminal contact database located at the mobile terminal, for storing in the mobile terminal, phone numbers and corresponding marking information recorded by the user through the mobile terminal.

6. The system for intelligent call blocking with block mode according to claim 5, characterized in that, said analyzing module firstly delivers the obtained phone number to said terminal contact database for inquiring process, and when there is no matched result for the obtained phone number, further performs inquiring process on the obtained phone number according to at least one of said local number database and said cloud number database.

7. The system for intelligent call blocking with block mode according to claim 1, characterized in that it further comprises a verification module, for performing verification process on the phone number and the marking information that are stored in said cloud database.

8. The system for intelligent call blocking with block mode according to claim 7, characterized in that

said the verification module comprises:

a calculator, for calculating a credit degree of the marking information or recording the number of the marking information, according to the marking weight of the user;

a comparator, for comparing the credit degree of or the number of the marking information with a predetermined threshold;

alternatively, said the verification module comprises;

a calculator, for calculating a credit degree of the marking information or recording the number of the marking information, according to the marking weight of the user;

a timer, for recording a calculating time;

a comparator, for comparing the credit degree of or the number of the marking information with a predetermined threshold, during recorded time;

alternatively, said the verification module comprises;

a third-party system database.

17. The system for intelligent call blocking with block mode according to claim 3, characterized in that it further comprises:
