Abstract
A method for managing an incoming call includes sending a first predetermined voice message to a caller when a fixed-line telephone receives the incoming call from the caller, capturing an image of a predetermined scene range of the fixed-line telephone when the incoming call is determined to be calling for the owner of the fixed-line telephone, sending prompt information to at least one mobile device when the owner of the fixed-line telephone is not detected, performing a corresponding function according to a selected operation of an owner of the at least one mobile device.
Claims18
A controlling method applied in an electronic device, the electronic device comprising an image acquisition device and a storage device, the electronic device establishing communication connections with a fixed-line telephone and at least one mobile device, the method comprising:
- sending a first predetermined voice message to a caller when the fixed-line telephone receives an incoming call from the caller;
- determining whether the incoming call is calling for an owner of the fixed-line telephone;
- capturing an image of a predetermined scene range of the fixed-line telephone using the image acquisition device, when the incoming call is determined to be calling for the owner of the fixed-line telephone;
- determining whether the owner of the fixed-line telephone is detected by analyzing the captured image;
- sending prompt information to the at least one mobile device when the owner of the fixed-line telephone is not detected;
- and
- performing a corresponding function according to a selected operation of an owner of the at least one mobile device.
An electronic device being connected with a fixed-line telephone and at least one mobile device, the electronic device comprising:
- an image acquisition device;
- at least one processor;
- and
- a storage device configured to store one or more programs that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- send a first predetermined voice message to a caller when the fixed-line telephone receives an incoming call from the caller;
- determine whether the incoming call is calling for an owner of the fixed-line telephone;
- capture an image of a predetermined scene range of the fixed-line telephone using the image acquisition device, when the incoming call is determined to be calling for the owner of the fixed-line telephone;
- determine whether the owner of the fixed-line telephone is detected by analyzing the captured image;
- send prompt information to the at least one mobile device when the owner of the fixed-line telephone is not detected;
- and
- perform a corresponding function according to a selected operation of an owner of the at least one mobile device.
A non-transitory storage medium having instructions stored thereon, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, cause the processor to perform a method for controlling an incoming call, the electronic device comprising an image acquisition device and a storage device, the electronic device being connected with a fixed-line telephone and at least one mobile device, wherein the method comprises:
- sending a first predetermined voice message to a caller when the fixed-line telephone receives an incoming call from the caller;
- determining whether the incoming call is calling for an owner of the fixed-line telephone;
- capturing an image of a predetermined scene range of the fixed-line telephone using the image acquisition device, when the incoming call is determined to be calling for the owner of the fixed-line telephone;
- determining whether the owner of the fixed-line telephone is detected by analyzing the captured image;
- sending prompt information to the at least one mobile device when the owner of the fixed-line telephone is not detected;
- and
- performing a corresponding function according to a selected operation of an owner of the at least one mobile device.
