Abstract
A contact person selecting interface is provided on a mobile terminal for a user. Using such an interface, the user can select one or more contact persons that are desired to transmit reminders. When receiving an incoming call or a new message, the mobile terminal determines whether a person sending the incoming call or the new message is selected by the user. If yes, the mobile terminal makes a wearable device give out a prompt message for remaindering the user. In such a way, it is convenient for the user to trace important calls or messages.
Claims10
A communication reminding system, comprising:
- a mobile terminal configured to provide a contact person selecting interface, the mobile terminal storing one or more contact persons selected by a user through the contact person selecting interface as a selected contact person data, the mobile terminal comparing a person sending an incoming call or a new message with the selected contact person data when receiving the incoming call or the new message from the person, and the mobile terminal transmitting a prompt requesting signal using wireless communication when the mobile terminal determines that the person sending the incoming call or the new message is contained in the selected contact person data;
- and
- a wearable device configured to provide a prompt message, the wearable device using the wireless communication to receive the prompt requesting signal transmitted from the mobile terminal, and giving out the prompt message according to the prompt requesting signal.
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a display device;
- a contact person selecting interface a contact person list displayed on the display device, the contact person selecting interface being configured to be provided to a user to select one or more contact persons from the contact person list;
- a storage unit configured to store the one or more contact persons selected by the user through the contact person selecting interface as a selected contact person data;
- a comparison unit configured to compare a person sending an incoming call or a new message with the selected contact person data when the mobile terminal receives the incoming call or the new message from the person;
- a wireless signal transceiver configured to transmit a prompt requesting signal using wireless communication when the comparison unit determines that the person sending the incoming call or the new message is contained in the selected contact person data.
