Abstract

A method and apparatus for generating prompt information of a mobile terminal are disclosed. The method includes: selecting a start point and an end point in a multimedia file; clipping a part of the multimedia file between the start point and the end point in the multimedia file; and encoding the clipped part of the multimedia file, and generating prompt information of the mobile terminal. An apparatuses for generating prompt information of a mobile terminal is also disclosed. Therefore, the present invention enables a user to control the generation of prompt information of a mobile terminal.

Claims

1. A method for generating prompt information of a mobile terminal, comprising:

selecting information of prompt elements including a start time and an end time of both a vibration media file and a light twinkle media file, separately;

generating an association file specifying the information of prompt elements and locations of both the vibration media file and the light twinkle media file; and

generating prompt information of the mobile terminal by implementing the vibration media file and the light twinkle media file according to the information of prompt elements and the locations in the association file.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the information of prompt elements further includes a vibration mode, and wherein the vibration mode is any one or combination of stable vibration, accelerating vibration and shift vibration.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the information of prompt elements further includes a light twinkle mode, and wherein the light twinkle mode is any one or combination of interval twinkle, accelerating twinkle and disorder twinkle.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the locations of both the vibration media file and the light twinkle media file are specified in the association file as relative locations.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the locations of both the vibration media file and the light twinkle media file are specified in the association file as absolute locations.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the association file further specifies names of both the vibration media file and the light twinkle media file.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the association file further specifies a number of replaying times.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the association file does not include a portion of the vibration media file and a portion of the light twinkle media file.

9. An apparatus for generating prompt information of a mobile terminal, comprising:

a processor coupled to a non-transitory computer readable medium having computer executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to;

select information of prompt elements including a start time and an end time of both a vibration media file and a light twinkle media file, separately;

generate an association file specifying the information of prompt elements and locations of both the vibration media file and the light twinkle media file; and

generate prompt information of the mobile terminal by implementing the vibration media file and the light twinkle media file according to the information of prompt elements and the locations in the association file.

10. The apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the information of prompt elements further includes a vibration mode, and wherein the vibration mode is any one or combination of stable vibration, accelerating vibration and shift vibration.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the information of prompt elements further includes a light twinkle mode, and wherein the light twinkle mode is any one or combination of interval twinkle, accelerating twinkle and disorder twinkle.

12. The apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the locations of both the vibration media file and the light twinkle media file are specified in the association file as relative locations.

13. The apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the locations of both the vibration media file and the light twinkle media file are specified in the association file as absolute locations.

14. The apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the association file further specifies names of both the vibration media file and the light twinkle media file.

15. The apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the association file further specifies a number of replaying times.

16. The apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the association file does not include a portion of the vibration media file and a portion of the light twinkle media file.
