Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for reminding a forgotten mobile terminal, wherein information of a mobile terminal currently connected to a predetermined device is detected, detected information of the mobile terminal connected to the predetermined device is compared with preset information so as to judge whether both of them are the same with each other, in a case where both of them are different from each other, it indicates that there is a mobile terminal that should be taken way, and in this case, a user is notified and reminded to take away the mobile terminal in time, avoiding unnecessary troubles for people'"'"'s life and work due to forgetting the mobile terminal.

Claims

1. A method for reminding a forgotten mobile terminal, comprising steps:

S1, detecting information of a mobile terminal connected to a predetermined device;

S2, comparing detected information of the mobile terminal connected to the predetermined device with preset information to judge whether both of them are the same with each other;

S3, notifying a user whether there is a mobile terminal should be taken away in accordance with a judgment result of S2.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the information of the mobile terminal to be detected comprises the number of mobile terminals, and the preset information comprises a preset threshold,

in a case where a detected number of the mobile terminals connected to the predetermined device is different from the preset threshold,

the step S2 further comprises calculating a difference between the number of the mobile terminals connected to the predetermined device and the preset threshold, and

the step S3 further comprises notifying the user of the difference.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the step S3 comprises:

transmitting the difference to a predetermined terminal to notify the user via the predetermined terminal.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the information of the mobile terminal to be detected comprises an identifier of the mobile terminal, and the preset information comprises a preset identifier of a mobile terminal,

in a case where the detected identifier of the mobile terminal connected to the predetermined device is different from the preset identifier,

the step S2 further comprises determining the identifier of the mobile terminal different from the preset identifier, and

the step S3 further comprises notifying the user of the determined identifier of the mobile terminal different from the preset identifier.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the information of the mobile terminal to be detected comprises the number of mobile terminals and identifiers of the mobile terminals, the preset information comprises a preset threshold and a preset identifier of a mobile terminal,

in a case where the detected number of the mobile terminals connected to the predetermined device is different from the preset threshold and the detected identifiers of the mobile terminals are not all the same as the preset identifier,

the step S2 further comprises calculating a difference between the number of the mobile terminals connected to the predetermined device and the preset threshold and determining an identifier of a mobile terminal among the mobile terminals different from the preset identifier, and

the step S3 further comprises notifying the user of the calculated difference and the determined identifier of the mobile terminal different from the preset identifier.

6. The method of claim 2, further comprising steps of:

detecting the number of mobile terminals connected to the predetermined device periodically by taking a predetermined first time period as a cycle;

determining a minimal value of the number of the mobile terminals connected to the predetermined device by taking a predetermined second time period as a cycle, and setting the minimal value as the preset threshold, the predetermined second time period comprises at least one the predetermined first time period.

7. The method of claim 5, further comprising steps of:

detecting the number of mobile terminals connected to the predetermined device periodically by taking a predetermined first time period as a cycle;

determining a minimal value of the number of the mobile terminals connected to the predetermined device by taking a predetermined second time period as a cycle, and setting the minimal value as the preset threshold, the predetermined second time period comprises at least one the predetermined first time period.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the predetermined device is a device fixed in a place where the user is leaving, and a trigger condition which triggers the step S1 to be executed is an event which indicates that the user is leaving the place.

9. The method of claim 2, wherein the step S1 comprises:

detecting the information of mobile terminals connected to the predetermined device in respective ways, and calculating the total number of the mobile terminals connected to the predetermined devices in respective ways.

10. The method of claim 4, wherein the step S1 comprises:

detecting identifiers of all mobile terminals connected to the predetermined device in respective ways.

20. A recording medium recorded with a computer program for executing the method for reminding a forgotten mobile terminal of claim 1.

11. An apparatus for reminding a forgotten mobile terminal, comprising a processor configured to detect information of a mobile terminal connected to a predetermined device, compare the detected information of the mobile terminal connected to the predetermined device with preset information to judge whether both of them are the same with each other, and notify a user whether there is a mobile terminal should be taken away in accordance with a judgment result.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the information of the mobile terminal to be detected comprises the number of mobile terminals, and the preset information comprises a preset threshold,

the processor is configured to, in a case where the detected number of the mobile terminals connected to the predetermined device is different from the preset threshold, calculate a difference between the number of the mobile terminals connected to the predetermined device and the preset threshold, and notify the user of the difference.

13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the processor is configured to transmit the difference to a predetermined terminal to notify the user via the predetermined terminal.

14. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the information of the mobile terminal to be detected comprises an identifier of the mobile terminal, and the preset information comprises a preset identifier of a mobile terminal,

the processor is configured to, in a case where the detected identifier of the mobile terminal connected to the predetermined device is different from the preset identifier, determine the identifier of the mobile terminal different from the preset identifier, and notify the user of the determined identifier of the mobile terminal different from the preset identifier.

15. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the information of the mobile terminal to be detected comprises the number of mobile terminals and identifiers of the mobile terminals, the preset information comprises a preset threshold and a preset identifier,

the processor is configured to, in a case where the detected number of the mobile terminals connected to the predetermined device is different from the preset threshold and the detected identifiers of the mobile terminals are not all the same as the preset identifier, calculate a difference between the number of the mobile terminals connected to the predetermined device and the preset threshold and determining an identifier of a mobile terminal among the mobile terminals different from the preset identifier, and notify the user of the calculated difference and the determined identifier of the mobile terminal different from the preset identifier.

16. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein the processor may further be configured to detect the number of mobile terminals connected to the predetermined device periodically by taking a predetermined first time period as a cycle, determine a minimal value of the number of the mobile terminals connected to the predetermined device by taking a predetermined second time period as a cycle, and set the minimal value as the preset threshold, wherein the predetermined second time period comprises at least one the predetermined first time period.
