Abstract
A system and method for managing communication fees of a mobile phone are provided. The system is implemented by the mobile phone, and is used to manage communication fees when a user of the mobile phone uses a mobile communication service. The mobile phone includes at least one processor operable to execute a communication fees management system, and further includes a storage device and a display screen. The system can detect a current call when a user of the mobile phone makes a call, calculate a communication time and a communication fee of the current call, and display the communication time and the communication fee on the display screen at the termination of the current call.
Claims16
A mobile phone for managing communication fees, the mobile phone comprising:
- a storage device operable to store a plurality of charge standards of different telecommunication providers;
- a display screen operable to display a plurality of user interfaces;
- and
- at least one processor operable to execute a communication fees management system, comprising:
- a communication detecting module operable to detect a current call when a user of the mobile phone makes a call, generate a communication time reporting interface on the display screen, determine whether the current call needs to be recorded according to an input selection from the communication time reporting interface, and record a current communication time of the current call into the storage device;
- a charge standard selecting module operable to generate a charge standard selecting interface on the display screen, and select a charge standard for the current call from the storage device according to a destination phone number of the current call;
- and
- a communication fees calculating module operable to calculate a current communication fee of the current call according to the selected charge standard and the current communication time, record the current communication fee into the storage device, and display the current communication time and the current communication fee on the charge standard selecting interface of the display screen.
A method for managing communication fees of a mobile phone, the method comprising:
- configuring a plurality of charge standards of different telecommunication providers in a storage device of the mobile phone;
- detecting a current call when a user of the mobile phone makes a call, and generating a communication time reporting interface on a display screen of the mobile phone;
- determining whether the current call needs to be recorded according to an input selection from the communication time reporting interface;
- recording a current communication time of the current call into the storage device if the current call needs to be recorded, or directly ending the procedure if the current call does not need to be recorded;
- generating a charge standard selecting interface on the display screen, and selecting a charge standard for the current call according to a destination phone number of the current call;
- calculating a current communication fee of the current call according to the selected charge standard and the current communication time, and recording the current communication fee in the storage device;
- and
- displaying the current communication time and the current communication fee on the charge standard selecting interface of the display screen.
A non-transitory readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor of a mobile phone, cause the mobile phone to perform a method for managing communication fees, the method comprising:
- configuring a plurality of charge standards of different telecommunication providers in a storage device of the mobile phone;
- detecting a current call when a user of the mobile phone makes a call, and generating a communication time reporting interface on a display screen of the mobile phone;
- determining whether the current call needs to be recorded according to a user's selection input from the communication time reporting interface;
- recording a current communication time of the current call into the storage device if the current call needs to be recorded, or ending the procedure directly if the current call does not need to be recorded;
- generating a charge standard selecting interface on the display screen, and selecting a charge standard for the current call according to a destination phone number of the current call;
- calculating a current communication fee of the current call according to the selected charge standard and the current communication time, and recording the current communication fee in the storage device;
- and
- displaying the current communication time and the current communication fee on the charge standard selecting interface of the display screen.
