Abstract
A mobile communication system, a mobile communication device, and a method for incoming-call filtering are provided. The mobile communication device includes a wide area communication module and a local area communication module that are selectively enabled. A server includes a plurality of data groups and at least one response function. As the server receives an incoming call through a wide area communication network asking for communication with the communication device, the server compares a data of the incoming call with the plurality of data groups and then performs one response function based on the result of comparison.
Claims20
A communication system, comprising:
- a wide area communication network;
- a local area communication network;
- a mobile communication device, comprising a wide area communication module for communicating with said wide area communication network and a local area communication module for communicating with said local area communication network, said wide area communication module and said local area communication module being selectively enabled;
- and
- a server, having a database including a plurality of data groups and at least one response function, said mobile communication device sending a signal to said server when said local area communication module is enabled;
- wherein when said server receives an incoming call through said wide area communication network asking for communication with said mobile communication device, said server compares a data of said incoming call with said plurality of data groups and then performs said at least one response function according to the result of comparison,
- wherein said at least one response function includes asking a caller corresponding to said incoming call to leave a message as said data does not belong to one of said plurality of data groups.
A method, applicable in a communication system, for processing an incoming call, said communication system includes a wide area communication network, a local area communication network, a server, and a mobile communication device, said server comprises a database including a plurality of data groups and at least one response function, said mobile communication device comprises a wide area communication module communicating with said wide area communication network and a local area communication module communicating with said local area communication network, said wide area communication module and said local area communication module being selectively enabled, including:
- (a) enabling said local area communication module;
- (b) said mobile communication device sending a signal to said server to activate a predetermined incoming- call processing function;
- (c) when said server receives an incoming call through a wide area communication network asking for communication with said mobile communication device, said server comparing a data of said incoming call with said plurality of data groups;
- producing a result of comparison;
- and
- performing said at least one response function according to the result of comparison, wherein said at least one response function includes asking a caller corresponding to said incoming call to leave a message as said data does not belong to one of said plurality of data groups.
A mobile communication device operated in a communication system, said communication system including a wide area communication network, a local area communication network, and a server, said server comprising a database including a plurality of data groups and at least one response function, comprising:
- a wide area communication module for communicating with said wide area communication network;
- and
- a local area communication module for communicating with said local area communication network, said wide area communication module and said local area communication module being selectively enabled;
- wherein, said mobile communication device sends a signal to said server to activate a predetermined incoming call processing function as said local area communication module is enabled,
- wherein said at least one response function includes asking a caller corresponding to an incoming call to leave a message as a data of said incoming call does not belong to one of said plurality of data groups.
