Abstract

A method for automatically saving an unknown number in a mobile phone includes comparing a telephone number being answered or dialed with numbers in an address book, and determines whether the telephone number is an unknown number. If yes, conversation content is monitored, and keywords of the conversation content are extracted after the call is successfully connected. After the call ends, a user is prompted whether to save, if yes, the keywords are arranged in order for the user to select.

Claims

1. A method for automatically saving an unknown number in a mobile phone, comprising:

step A, comparing, by a system of the mobile phone, a telephone number being answered or dialed with numbers in an address book when the mobile phone is answering or dialing a call, and determining whether the telephone number is an unknown number;

step B, if the telephone number is an unknown number, monitoring a conversation content after the call is successfully connected, and semantically analyzing the conversation content during the monitoring, and extracting keywords from the conversation content;

step C, automatically popping up a prompt box on a screen of the mobile phone after the call ends, which prompts a user whether it is necessary to save the unknown number, wherein if an answer is necessary, the keywords are arranged in order for the user to select.

2. The method for automatically saving an unknown number in the mobile phone as claimed in claim 1, wherein before the step A, the method further comprises:

step S, enabling a function of automatically saving the unknown number in a setting of the mobile phone in advance, wherein when the function is enabled, the system simultaneously turns on a permission function in a processor to semantically analyze the conversation content, and a duration of the semantic analysis is two minutes after the call is successfully connected.

3. The method for automatically saving an unknown number in the mobile phone as claimed in claim 1, wherein the keywords include a title and a name.

4. The method for automatically saving an unknown number in the mobile phone as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step A further comprises:

A1, when the mobile phone is answering or dialing the call and the screen also displays the phone number with a name or a title, indicating that the telephone number is in the address book, wherein the system does not compare the telephone number being answered or dialed with the numbers in the address book.

5. The method for automatically saving an unknown number in the mobile phone as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step B further comprises:

B1, operating the system not to process a telephone number and carrying on a normal conversation when it is determined that the telephone number being answered or dialed is not an unknown number;

B2, monitoring the conversation content for two minutes when it is determined that the call being answered or dialed is an unknown number, after the call is successfully connected, wherein the conversation content is semantically analyzed during the monitoring, and a period of the monitoring and a period of the semantic analysis are the same; and

B3, extracting the keywords from the conversation content as alternative options for a saved name of the unknown number.

6. The method for automatically saving an unknown number in the mobile phone as claimed in claim 1, wherein the step C further comprises:

C1, after the call ends, arranging in order of the semantic analysis, by the system, the keywords obtained from the semantic analysis of the conversation content for a period of two minutes;

C2, automatically popping up the prompt box on the screen of the mobile phone after the call ends, wherein when the unknown number is selected to be saved, the keywords are presented in a list for the user to select, and if the user chooses not to save, the monitored conversation is deleted; and

C3, manually modifying the keyword in the list and entering a correct name relative to the unknown number to be saved when there is an error in the keyword in the list, that is, the keyword obtained from the semantically analysis are not totally semantically correct.

step A, comparing, by the system of the mobile phone, a telephone number being answered or dialed with numbers in an address book when the mobile phone is answering or dialing a call, and determining whether the telephone number is an unknown number;

step B, if the telephone number is an unknown number, monitoring a conversation content after the call is successfully connected, and semantically analyzing the conversation content during the monitoring, and extracting keywords from the conversation content;

step C, automatically popping up a prompt box on a screen of the mobile phone after the call ends, which prompts a user whether it is necessary to save the unknown number, wherein if an answer is necessary, the keywords are arranged in order for the user to select.

12. The system for automatically saving an unknown number in the mobile phone as claimed in claim 11, wherein before the step A, the processor is configured to execute:

step S, enabling a function of automatically saving the unknown number in a setting of the mobile phone in advance, wherein when the function is enabled, the system simultaneously turns on a permission function in a processor to semantically analyze the conversation content, and a duration of the semantic analysis is two minutes after the call is successfully connected.

13. The system for automatically saving an unknown number in the mobile phone as claimed in claim 11, wherein the keywords include a title and a name.

14. The system for automatically saving an unknown number in the mobile phone as claimed in claim 11, wherein in the step A, the processor is further configured to execute:

A1, when the mobile phone is answering or dialing the call and the screen also displays the phone number with a name or a title, indicating that the telephone number is in the address book, wherein the system does not compare the telephone number being answered or dialed with the numbers in the address book.

15. The system for automatically saving an unknown number in the mobile phone as claimed in claim 11, wherein in the step B, the processor is configured to execute:

B1, operating the system not to process a telephone number and carrying on a normal conversation when it is determined that the telephone number being answered or dialed is not an unknown number;

B2, monitoring the conversation content for two minutes when it is determined that the call being answered or dialed is an unknown number, after the call is successfully connected, wherein the conversation content is semantically analyzed during the monitoring, and a period of the monitoring and a period of the semantic analysis are the same;
