Abstract

A method for processing an EMN (E-Mail Notification) is disclosed, including: a terminal obtains an EMN policy of a user; and the terminal controls the processing of an EMN according to the EMN policy. The present invention further provides a terminal for processing an EMN, including: an EMN policy setting module, adapted to obtain the EMN policy of a user; and an EMN control processing module adapted to control the processing of an EMN according to the EMN policy. The present invention further provides a system for processing an EMN. By using the technical solution of the present invention, the degree of humanization of an EMN processing device may be improved.

Claims

1. A method for processing an EMN (E-Mail Notification), comprising:

processing the EMN according to a preconfigured EMN policy.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein, the processing the EMN according to the preconfigured EMN policy comprise:

generating, by a server, the EMN; and

controlling a time when to send the EMN according to the preconfigured EMN policy.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein, the processing the EMN according to the preconfigured EMN policy comprise:

generating, by a server, the EMN; and

controlling a content of the EMN according to the preconfigured EMN policy.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein, the processing the EMN according to the preconfigured EMN policy comprise:

receiving the EMN;

interpreting a content of the EMN;

processing the content of the EMN according to the preconfigured EMN policy; and

notifying a user of a processed EMN.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein, the processing the EMN according to the preconfigued policy comprise:

receiving the EMN;

interpreting a content of the EMN; and

controlling a time when to send the EMN to a user.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the EMN policy further comprises an address of an E-mail sender rejected by a user.

7. A system for processing an EMN (E-Mail Notification), comprising a terminal and an E-mail server, wherein:

the terminal comprises an EMN policy setting module adapted to obtain an EMN policy of a user; and

the system further comprises a first EMN configuration control module adapted to control at least one E-mail server to process the EMN according to the EMN policy provided by the EMN policy setting module.

8. The system according to claim 7, wherein the E-mail server comprises:

an EMN generating module adapted to generate the EMN when a new mail arrives, and an EMN sending module adapted to send the EMN to the terminal;

wherein the first EMN configuration control module comprises;

an EMN content configuration control module adapted to control a content of the EMN generated by the EMN generating module in at least one E-mail server, according to the EMN policy provided by the EMN policy setting module;

and/or

an EMN sending configuration control module adapted to control a time when the EMN sending module in at least one E-mail server sends the EMN, according to the EMN policy provided by the EMN policy setting module.

9. The system according to claim 7, wherein the terminal further comprises:

an EMN resolving module adapted to resolve the EMN from an E-mail server;

a prompting module adapted to notify the user of the EMN according to the content of the EMN provided by the EMN resolving module; and

a second EMN configuration control module adapted to control a time when the prompting module notifies the user of the EMN and/or the content of the EMN, according to the EMN policy provided by the EMN policy setting module.

10. The system according to claim 7, wherein the EMN policy comprises the content of the EMN required by the user and/or a time to receive the EMN.

11. The system according to claim 7, wherein the first EMN configuration control module lies inside or outside the E-mail server.

12. A terminal for processing an EMN (E-Mail Notification), comprising:

an EMN policy setting module adapted to obtain an EMN policy of a user; and

an EMN control processing module adapted to control a processing of an EMN according to the EMN policy.

13. The terminal according to claim 12, wherein the terminal further comprises an EMN resolving module adapted to resolve the EMN from an E-mail server, and the EMN control processing module comprises an electronic EMN configuration control module and a prompting module, wherein:

the prompting module is adapted to notify the user of the EMN according to an content of the EMN provided by the EMN resolving module; and

the EMN configuration control module is adapted to control a time when the prompting module notifies the user of the EMN and/or the content of the EMN, according to the EMN policy provided by the EMN policy setting module.

14. The terminal according to claim 13, wherein the EMN policy setting module, the EMN configuration control module and the prompting module are all set in an EMN user agent of the user;

or,

the EMN policy setting module and the EMN configuration control module are set in the EMN user agent of the user, and the prompting module is set in an E-mail client of the terminal.

15. The terminal according to claim 12, wherein the EMN policy comprises a content of the EMN required by the user and/or a time to receive the EMN.

16. A system for processing an EMN (E-Mail Notification), comprising a terminal and an E-mail server adapted to send the EMN to the terminal, wherein the terminal comprises:

an EMN policy setting module adapted to obtain an EMN policy of a user; and

an EMN control processing module adapted to control the processing of the EMN from the E-mail server according to the EMN policy.

17. The system according to claim 16, wherein the terminal further comprises an EMN resolving module adapted to resolve the EMN from the E-mail server, and the EMN control processing module comprises an electronic EMN configuration control module and a prompting module, wherein:

the prompting module is adapted to notify the user of the EMN according to an content of the EMN provided by the EMN resolving module; and

the EMN configuration control module is adapted to control a time when the prompting module notifies the user of the EMN and/or the content of the EMN, according to the EMN policy provided by the EMN policy setting module.
