Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method for providing a communication resource of a communication device.
Background
The development of science and technology enables communication modes of people to be greatly changed, intelligent terminal products such as smart phones and the like are continuously appeared, and various application programs (Apps) are continuously introduced, so that people can establish communication with families, colleagues and friends at any time and any place without being limited by distance.
However, in real life, some users, including but not limited to old people and children, have difficulty adapting to technological development of daily and new technology due to lack of capability, are difficult to adapt to upgrading and updating of various communication means, and cannot proficiently use intelligent terminals and various communication apps, so that they may not be able to well establish communication with families and friends.
This situation is more pronounced in the following circumstances: young children work in metropolitan areas, while parents and young children may remain in distant hometown. Even though a child buys a smart phone for the elderly and installs various communication apps and other apps, the elderly often cannot normally operate the smart phone and various apps inside, and thus cannot effectively establish communication with family members and friends.
On the other hand, the technical routes of the related communication technologies and the related communication application software technologies also take place for many generations of complex evolution processes.
The communication system may provide a fixed line connection or a wireless connection for subscribers to communicate, such as voice or data communications. An example of a fixed line system is the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). One example of a wireless communication system is a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), and another example is a satellite-based mobile communication system. Wireless communication typically occurs via a radio frequency connection between a subscriber's mobile station and at least one network element of the communication system. Communications within a network are typically, but not necessarily, handled using fixed line connections between different network elements. Communications may also be transmitted within a system that includes one or more data networks. One example of such communication is a voice over IP (internet protocol) scheme that implements a voice call over a packet switched data network.
The communication network is a cellular radio network consisting of access entities, commonly referred to as cells. In most cases, a cell is defined as a certain area covered by one or more Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs) that serve User Equipment (UEs), such as Mobile Stations (MSs), via a radio interface that may be connected to a Base Station Subsystem (BSS). Several cells cover a larger area and typically form a radio coverage area called a Location Area (LA) or in some standards a Routing Area (RA). It should be appreciated that the size of the location area or routing area depends on the system and environment and may be equal to one cell or less, such as a portion of the coverage area of a base station. One feature of a cellular system is that it provides mobility for a mobile station, i.e. enables the mobile station to move from one location area to another, even from one network to another that is compatible with the standard for which the mobile station is adapted.
The wireless communication is a communication system using only electromagnetic waves and not through a cable, and mainly includes microwave communication and satellite communication. Microwaves are radio waves that travel distances of typically only tens of kilometers. But the frequency band of the microwave is wide and the communication capacity is large. A microwave relay station is built every tens of kilometers for microwave communication. Satellite communication is the establishment of microwave communication links between two or more earth stations or between mobile bodies on the ground using communication satellites as relay stations.
The wireless communication (Wireless Communication) is a communication system for exchanging information by utilizing the characteristic that electromagnetic wave signals can propagate in free space, and in the field of information communication in recent years, the most widely-developed wireless communication technology is the fastest-growing one. Wireless communication implemented in mobile is also known as mobile communication, and both are commonly referred to as wireless mobile communication.
In the network system of wireless mobile communication, the network system of mobile phones for mobile users mainly comprises four types of GSM, CDMA, 3G and 4G, and the mobile phones have undergone the first generation of analog mobile phones (1G), the second generation of digital mobile phones (2G) such as GSM, TDMA and the like, the 2.5 th generation of mobile communication technology CDMA, the third generation of mobile communication technology 3G and the fourth generation of mobile communication technology 4G from the prior art.
Wherein the full digitization starts from GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications global system for mobile communications), which developed on the basis of cellular systems, belongs to the second generation digital mobile communications system. The method is characterized by the most mature and advanced technology, and has the advantages of multiple types of openable mobile communication service, high mobile phone connection speed, good conversation quality, strong security and confidentiality, strong anti-interference capability and wide network coverage. In the topology structure, the public mobile communication network generally adopts a cellular topology, which is based on the consideration of improving the frequency spectrum utilization rate, reducing the mutual interference and increasing the system capacity.
In order to realize the support from the traditional voice service to the data service, the GPRS superimposes the network supporting the high-speed packet data on the basis of the original GSM network, provides the functions of WAP browsing (browsing Internet pages), E-mail and the like for users, promotes the initial leap development of the mobile data service, and realizes the perfect combination of the mobile communication technology and the data communication technology (especially Internet technology).
From the second generation GSM, most mobile communications are digital, and besides voice communications, they can also send and receive short messages (short messages, SMS), MMS (technical) MMS (multimedia messaging), wireless Application Protocol (WAP), etc.
The short message (short message service, SMS) is a part of a "converged communication" service plan, and the number of characters that a user can receive and send a short message each time is 160 english, digital characters or 70 chinese characters by directly sending or receiving text or digital information through a mobile phone or other telecommunication terminals.
In general, the term "mobile data traffic" refers to data traffic generated by surfing the internet through mobile communication technologies such as GPRS, EDGE, TD-SCDMA, HSDPA, WCDMA, LTE or using related data value added services, and does not include traffic generated by surfing the internet through other means such as WLAN and CSD.
A mobile communication network between mobile subscribers or between mobile subscribers and fixed subscribers, the public mobile communication network and the private mobile communication network being classified according to service objects; a distinction can be made between mobile telephone networks and mobile data networks by service nature. The mobile telephone network supports communication in the form of short messages and voice. Correspondingly, the terminal equipment is provided with an SMS short message interface and a voice interface, so as to access a mobile telephone network, send and receive short messages and dial/answer a telephone from the voice network.
In addition, the mobile terminal may be connected to the internet through the mobile data traffic based on the public mobile data network, or may be connected to the internet through a WLAN access point based on a conventional home or enterprise broadband derivative, so that real-time communication is one of various network services and programs.
The above-mentioned WLANs are all referred to as: wireless Local Area Networks, chinese name: the wireless local area network is a system for transmitting data by utilizing Radio Frequency (RF) technology, and the technology is used for overcoming the defects of a wired local area network so as to achieve the aim of network extension and realize a clear network without network wires and distance limitation. The protocol standards currently included in WLANs are: IEEE802.11b protocol, IEEE802.11a protocol, IEEE802.11g protocol, IEEE802.11e protocol, IEEE802.11i protocol, wireless Application Protocol (WAP), etc., and WIFI (wireless fidelity) technology is a wireless network communication technology based on the IEEE802.11 series of standards.
And for both mobile data networks and WLAN communication networks, are known in the industry as wireless data transmission networks.
The real-time communication (Instant Messaging, abbreviated as IM) derived by the above communication technology is a real-time communication system (generally including service and user side software), which allows two or more people to communicate text messages, files, data, voice and video using the network in real time, including ICQ, skype, MSN, etc. before the mobile data network is not popularized, and a great deal of mobile instant messaging services and software, such as micro-messaging, wechat, etc. have been developed with the popularization of wireless data transmission technologies such as mobile data network, WLAN, etc. and smart phone operation systems.
There is a need to provide a communication method, an interaction method and related devices based on the above mentioned communication technology and software applications that meet the potential requirements of users including but not limited to elderly people, children, etc.

In another embodiment of the present application, there is also provided a communication apparatus including: a processor unit; a memory; and one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor unit, the one or more programs comprising instructions for performing any of the various resource providing methods or steps of the present application.
In another embodiment of the present application, there is also provided an information processing apparatus for use in an electronic device having one or more processors, including: apparatus for performing any one of a plurality of resource providing methods in the present application.
An electronic device according to some embodiments of the application includes a display, a touch-sensitive surface, optionally one or more sensors for detecting intensity of contact with the touch-sensitive surface, a processor unit, a memory, and one or more programs; one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the processor unit, and the one or more programs include instructions for performing or causing performance of the operations of any of the methods herein.

In some embodiments, communication resources associated with multiple communication networks of different nature are integrated on a communication interface for a first contact, centered on the first contact and its communication interface, in other words, different communication resources in these electronic devices are directed towards the accessibility (communicative accessibility) of the communication for the first contact, integrated on or assigned to the first contact interface. This is different from the case where a communication tool such as a different communication program is used as a center and a contact is attached to one module of the communication tool (for example, an address book, a telephone directory, or the like for the contact) as one communication object to which the communication tool is applied. This shields the user from different communication tools/programs run by the electronic device during communication with the first contact, from different communication networks accessed, and in some embodiments also shields the user from the operating system of the electronic device, which improves accessibility/accessibility of communications to the first contact at the electronic device, operability of communication resources between the user and the first contact, and related user experiences. It can be understood that: in some embodiments, different contact communication interfaces are configured with different contacts as distinction, e.g., the first contact interface and the second contact interface are two different independent interfaces, associated with two different communication objects, a first contact and a second contact, respectively. The first contact interface may be a unique communication interface for the first contact in the electronic device, in other words, communication resources related to the first contact are integrated on the first contact interface, rather than being distributed on different communication interfaces.
From another aspect, since some users are more concerned about the content of the communication information itself in the communication device, rather than what application program or communication channel the communication information is provided by, the communication information is output in an audible or visual manner, for example, through a separate application program, so that the user can be prevented from acquiring the communication information through different application programs or communication channels in the communication device, respectively, and the interaction process of the user is simplified during the process of using the communication device to communicate by the user, in other words, in the prior art, the user selects a target contact on a specific communication application program, for example, an interface of dialing a phone call, which is an application program-oriented and application program-centered communication resource allocation manner; by integrating the communication resource on the communication interaction interface with the contact, the user can directly access the entries of various communication modes/channels/networks on the contact interface of the mobile terminal, and acquire the communication information between various communication modes/channels/networks and the contact through the interaction interface of the contact, wherein the communication information occurs based on different communication network/communication channel/service interfaces available to the mobile terminal. Therefore, in the aspect of initiating communication, the resource providing method of the embodiments simplifies the interaction process of selecting a communication initiation entrance for a certain contact by a user, and in the aspect of receiving communication information, the accessibility (accessibility) of related communication information to the user is also improved.
In some embodiments of the resource providing method, a plurality of communication enabling units/user interface elements, such as a plurality of virtual keys, are provided on the first contact communication interface collectively, and the keys are respectively associated with different multiple communication networks, such as a mobile phone network, a mobile data network/WLAN, etc., so that different communication paths, different communication tools and different communication tools are integrated on the same user interface, which is centered on contacts, and is guided by simplification of interaction operations in the process of establishing communication with the contacts by a user, so as to perform integrated configuration on communication resources, and make significant progress in operability and accessibility of communication resources or communication information of electronic devices or communication apparatuses. The improvement in the embodiments of the present invention reconstructs the functional architecture of the technical elements including the interactive interface elements in the mobile communication device, mutually coordinates the technical elements, redefines the functions of some technical features, has a certain development in the aspect of communication interaction, and has outstanding substantial characteristics compared with the mobile phones with functions as guiding in the prior art. The method or apparatus of these embodiments overcomes, to some extent, the technical bias of those skilled in the art of mobile communication devices, particularly smartphones, that is inherited by desktop and "platform/operating system + functionality" based logic architecture in electronic devices, particularly smartphones, and the corresponding manner of providing software resources guided by the differentiation of the functionality or groups of functionalities of the application.

For example, all embodiments under the heading "integrate interactive interface", "some embodiments of the first resource providing method", and the like, and variations of the modules and modules involved therein, are correspondingly applicable to other embodiments in the present application. The combination possibility between these embodiments and between the modules of the embodiments will not be described in detail elsewhere.
The inventor finds that the instant messaging schemes in the prior art all require a user to perform complex hierarchical interactive operation on a communication device and application software therein, but lack of schemes for implementing instant messaging through simple hardware operation, and such missing schemes can allow the user to operate a physical keyboard to trigger a corresponding software program to be executed so as to establish instant messaging. Such a missing scheme will be schematically illustrated by the following examples.
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of internal components of a communication device according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, where the communication device includes:
an operation part, a housing (not shown), a processor 12 accommodated in the housing, and a media collection unit 13 and a media play unit 14 and a wireless data transmission unit 15 accommodated in the housing and coupled with the processor 12, respectively. The operating part may be embodied in the form of a physical operating element, such as a button, a lever, a handgrip, a (reduced) keyboard or the like. Here, a physical keyboard 11 of a simplified structure is schematically illustrated, and the physical keyboard 11 is provided on a housing and connected to a processor 12.
Wherein the physical keyboard 11 may issue a first trigger signal to the processor 12 in response to a first operation by a user, and may issue a second trigger signal to the processor 12 in response to a second operation by the user.
The communication device also includes a memory 16 storing one or more programs, or at least one machine readable instruction, coupled to the processor 12, and the at least one readable instruction is executable by the processor 12 to: in response to the first trigger signal, acquiring the first media signal by the media acquisition unit 13 and transmitting the first media signal by the wireless data transmission unit 15 via the wireless data transmission network; in response to the second trigger signal, a second media signal received by the wireless data transmission unit 15 via the wireless data transmission network is output by the media playing unit 14.
The communication device includes, but is not limited to, a handheld electronic device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a digital assistant, etc.
Here, it should be noted that the communication process in which the processor 12 sends the first media signal and receives the second media signal through the wireless data transmission unit 15 via the wireless data transmission network is an instant communication, and the instant communication is typically duplex (duplex) communication. In other words, at least one readable instruction is executable by processor 12 to: the first media signal is acquired by the media acquisition unit 13 in response to the first trigger signal and the acquired first media signal is transmitted instantaneously by the wireless data transmission unit 15 via the wireless data transmission network, and the instantaneous second media signal from the other communication device is output by the media play unit 14 in response to the second trigger signal.
Optionally, the first media signal and the second media signal are instant messages (instant messages) such as voice messages (voice messages) and/or video/image messages (video messages) shorter than a preset duration, respectively. Of course, the instant message may also include a text type message. Alternatively, both the voice message and the video message may have a preset maximum value over the duration, for example 60 seconds; and the text message may also have a preset maximum value, e.g. 1000 words, over the text length.
In addition, it should be noted that: the wireless data transmission network includes at least a data network with which the communication device can establish a data link and a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) or a data network typified by an access method of WIFI, not a voice network such as a mobile phone network. The communication device may include a processor 12 therein. In practice, the communication device may further include a communication interface or the like. In addition, physical keys such as a power key, a volume adjustment key, etc. may also be provided on the communication device on the side or elsewhere.
Alternatively, the processor unit may comprise one or more processors 12, and the processor or processor units may operate as a centralized, unique Central Processing Unit (CPU), or may operate as several sub-processing units, processors 12, which are connected to the media acquisition unit 13 and the media playback unit 14, respectively, as their own dedicated processors, in a distributed manner. Various variations of the processor or processor unit described herein may be applied to the methods and apparatus of all embodiments described above or below, and other parts of this document are not repeated here.
The physical keyboard 11 is arranged on the communication device, and based on the arrangement of the physical keyboard 11, the user can more quickly and conveniently conduct instant communication with the contact person. The communication device provided by the embodiment of the invention is suitable for users such as the elderly.
The physical keyboard 11 is accommodated in the housing, that is, accommodated as a whole in the housing, but the physical keyboard 11 may be exposed to the outside through the through hole so as to be partially protruded outside the housing.
In practice, the physical keyboard 11 may comprise one or more independently arranged physical keys with a triggering communication function. The user can operate one or more physical keys through a single action (single) to directly trigger instant messaging, real-time communication, etc. with the contact, unlike conventional keyboards for inputting information such as text.
In an embodiment of the present invention, optionally, a certain communication application program, such as an instant messaging application program, may be installed in the communication device, and in the prior art, for example, when a user needs to send a voice message to a certain contact person, the user may need to start the communication application program first, select the contact person, then display a chat window with the contact person, and further find a function button for sending the voice message in one or more layers of function menus included in the chat window, and operate the function button to complete sending the voice message. For another example, in the prior art, when a user receives one or more voice messages from a contact, the user also needs to enter a chat window with the contact, and then click on the received voice messages one by one to listen to each voice message. In this way, in the prior art, a complex interface operation is required in the process of establishing communication between the user and the contact through the communication application. When a user such as the elderly cannot be proficient in performing these operations, it takes longer to send out a message that needs to be sent out, or it takes longer to actually receive a message sent from a contact, or it may not be possible to actually complete communication with the contact.
In addition, it is found through studies on communication behavior habits of users such as the elderly, children, and the like that: the specific gravity of sending media type messages, such as voice, video type messages, is significantly increasing. Because the way in which the message to be transmitted is directly spoken is more direct and convenient than in the case in which a text-to-text message is composed. Meanwhile, the messages received by the user are more heavily weighted and are also media type messages.
Based on the above, the embodiment of the invention provides the communication device, so that when a user uses the communication device, the user can more conveniently, quickly, timely and reliably realize the receiving and transmitting of the communication message between the user and the contact person through simple operation of one or more physical keys, and particularly, the receiving and transmitting of the message of the media type is realized.
In fact, the physical key of the physical keyboard 11 may be implemented in various manners, for example, may be a key, may be a toggle key, and when the physical key is implemented in different manners, the manner in which the user can operate the physical key will be different. For example, for a key, the operation that can be performed may be one or more continuous pressing operations, for example, may be a pressing operation that lasts for a certain period of time (simply referred to as a long pressing operation). For example, for a toggle key, the operation that can be performed may be a toggle operation in different directions.
However, regardless of the specific implementation manner of the physical key, the operation performed on the physical key in the embodiment of the present invention may preferably be a single action (single) operation, for example, a single press, multiple presses (which may be rapid, continuous), long press, toggle, or the like, as illustrated above. In this sense, a conventional numeric dialing pad is different from the physical pad, the numeric dialing pad representing only digits and requiring multiple keys to be pressed one after the other before a communication can be initiated via the call key.
In addition, in practical applications, the physical keyboard 11 may be connected to the processor 12 through a direct connection wire or a key signal circuit, which may be a switch circuit, a logic processing circuit, or the like. It should be noted that, the triggering in the above-mentioned "the physical keyboard is operable to trigger" refers to hardware triggering. For example, alternatively, when at least one key is included in the physical keyboard 11, each key may operate in the form of a switching circuit, wherein one end of the switch is connected to the processor 12 and the other end is connected to the key. The key may be connected to the processor 12 by a key signal circuit such as a "direct connect" circuit, or an adjustment circuit, an adaptation circuit, a logic determination circuit, etc. Thus, when a key is pressed, the switch circuit is turned on, and a specific trigger signal is output to the processor 12, which may trigger the processor 12 to perform a corresponding operation or no operation, and when the key is released, the switch circuit is turned off, and at this time, the trigger signal is turned over, which may trigger the processor 12 to perform a corresponding operation or no operation. The processor 12 may also determine whether the press operation is a short press operation or a long press operation based on the length of time the trigger signal is sustained.
Alternatively, the key signal circuit may be composed of a general purpose input output (General Purpose Input Output, GPIO) chip, also referred to as a bus expander, and peripheral circuits. The GPIO chip includes a plurality of input/output ports, simply a plurality of ports, and the peripheral circuit may be, for example, a resistor and a switch circuit connected in series with each port. Thus, when a plurality of keys are included in the physical communication keyboard 11, each key may be connected to one port through a switch circuit, and at this time, each port has two level states corresponding to the key being pressed and the key not being pressed, respectively.
Optionally, when there are multiple physical keys that all need to be connected to the GIPO chip, but the number of ports of the GPIO chip is limited, one physical key may also be connected to multiple ports, so that multiplexing of multiple physical keys to multiple ports of the GPIO chip is achieved, for example, multiplexing of 16 physical keys may be achieved by 4 ports, where when different physical keys are triggered, the 4 ports will present different level states. At this time, the ports are no longer connected in one-to-one correspondence with the physical keys.
It will be appreciated that the GPIO chip may include, in addition to a plurality of ports connected to physical keys, interfaces for connection to the processor 12, as well as power interfaces, ground interfaces, and the like. Thus, the processor 12 can determine which physical key is operated according to the trigger signals received from the ports of the GPIO chip, that is, the identification of the operation behavior of the physical key by the user is realized.
In one aspect, in the present embodiment, after the user applies the first operation to the physical keyboard 11, the physical keyboard 11 sends the first trigger signal to the processor 12. For example, when the physical keyboard 11 includes a physical key, the user performs a first operation on the physical key, the physical key is connected to a port of the GPIO, and based on the first operation, a circuit between the physical key and the port is turned on, and a first trigger signal is sent to the processor 12. In response to the first trigger signal, the processor 12 may control the media capturing unit 13 to start capturing the first media signal of the user, and further send the captured first media signal through the wireless data transmission unit 15 via the wireless data transmission network. Based on this, in practical application, when a certain communication application program is installed in the communication device, the user only needs to select a contact person that wants to communicate currently from the communication device, after a certain contact person is selected, the first operation is applied to the physical keyboard 11, and the processor 12 can control the media collection unit 13 to start collecting the first media signal of the user, so that the collected first media signal is sent to the communication application program of the contact person through the wireless data transmission unit 15 via the wireless data transmission network. In an alternative embodiment, the media capturing element 13 may be a microphone, whereby the first media signal may be a voice message captured by the microphone. In another alternative embodiment, the media capturing element 13 may be a camera, such that the first media signal may be a video/image message captured by the camera. In another alternative embodiment, the media capturing element 13 may be a microphone and a camera, so that the first media signal may be an audio/video signal that is obtained by merging a voice message captured by the microphone and a video/image message captured by the camera after the processor 12 receives the voice message.
The process of sending the collected first media signal through the wireless data transmission network may be simply: and carrying out compression coding on the acquired first media signal according to a certain coding standard such as H.264 and the like, further, packaging the first media signal after compression coding into a data packet according to a network communication protocol, and transmitting the packaged data packet to an opposite terminal user through a wireless data transmission network.
On the other hand, in the present embodiment, after the user applies the second operation to the physical keyboard 11, the physical keyboard 11 sends the second trigger signal to the processor 12. For example, when the physical keyboard 11 includes a physical key, the user performs a second operation on the physical key, the physical key is connected to a port of the GPIO, and based on the second operation, a circuit between the physical key and the port is turned on, and a second trigger signal is sent to the processor 12. In response to the second trigger signal, the processor 12 may control the media playing unit 14 to start playing the second media signal that the wireless data transmission unit 15 has received over the wireless data transmission network. In practical applications, when the user receives the second media signal sent by a certain contact through the communication application, the second operation can be triggered on a certain physical key in the physical keyboard 11, and the processor 12 controls the media playing unit 14 to play the received second media signal based on the operation, so that the user can realize one-key listening to the communication data sent by the contact.
In some embodiments, the media playback unit 14 may be a second speaker, such that the second media signal may be a voice message. In another alternative embodiment, the media playback unit 14 may be a display and a second speaker, such that the second media signal may be a video/image message. But also text, pictures, etc. In another alternative embodiment, the media playing unit 14 may be a display, whereby the second media signal may be text, pictures, etc.
Moreover, it should be noted that, in the method, the communication apparatus, and the electronic device according to some embodiments of the present invention, the mentioned display screen (display screen) generally refers to a screen portion of a display (display) to which the communication apparatus/the electronic device is coupled (built-in or external), preferably a touch display, a touch display screen, or also simply referred to as a display, which may be a separate display unit independent of the electronic device, such as a television, or may be a touch display integrally assembled with the electronic device, and will not be described herein.
Wherein, optionally, the display is disposed on a first surface side of the housing, such as above the first surface; the physical keyboard 11 is disposed on the other side of the first surface, such as the lower side, or the second surface of the housing, wherein the first surface may be the front surface of the housing and the second surface may be the side surface of the housing.
In the process of playing the second media signal received through the wireless data transmission network, for example, in the case that the second media signal is an audio/video signal, the audio/video signal may be compressed and encoded in the transmission process, so that during playing, decoding processing is required according to a corresponding encoding standard, and then the decoded audio/video signal is played.
In summary, a physical keyboard for establishing communication for a user is provided on the communication device provided in this embodiment, and when the user wants to send a message to a contact, a first operation may be performed on the physical keyboard to trigger the media collection unit to collect a first media signal of the user, and the first media signal is sent to the contact through the wireless data transmission network. When the communication device receives a second media signal sent by the contact person through the wireless data transmission network, the user can trigger the media playing unit to output the second media signal to the user by performing a second operation on the physical keyboard. Therefore, based on the communication device, a user can realize instant communication with a contact through a wireless data transmission network instead of a mobile telephone network such as GSM and the like through the physical keyboard, compared with the traditional mode that the user needs to perform multiple interface interaction operations on a communication application program, the man-machine interaction level is greatly reduced, so that the success rate of communication between the user and other people can be improved, and the communication instantaneity can be improved.
In some alternative embodiments, such as when a user wants to send a voice message to someone, and such as when a user wants to initiate an online audio-video call to someone, the user needs to select an opposite user with whom to communicate first, and then perform some operation on the physical key according to the communication requirement. While the user selection of the opposite user's operation involves an operation on a communication application installed in the communication device. At this time, in order to further improve operability (operability) of the communication device in the process of the user communicating with the contacts through the interactive operation, the processor 12 may run a communication application program serving as a desktop interactive program in the communication device, where the communication application program includes a plurality of contact information, so that the user may select a contact as a peer user from the plurality of contact information included in the communication application program.
Thus, the at least one machine readable instruction comprises a communication application that can provide a plurality of contact information, and the at least one machine readable instruction is further executable by the processor 12 to: in response to the first trigger signal, obtaining a first media signal through a microphone and/or a camera, and sending the first media signal through the wireless data transmission unit 15 to a first contact selected by the user from a plurality of contact information through the communication application via a wireless data transmission network; outputting, by the second speaker and/or display, a second media signal from the first contact or the second contact received by the wireless data transmission unit 15 via the wireless data transmission network in response to the second trigger signal; and the communication application is executable by the processor 12 to record the first media signal and the second media signal on the display in an identified manner, wherein the first media signal and the second media signal are voice messages and/or video/image messages, respectively.
Wherein the signifi-cant recording refers to the presentation of the transmitted first media signal, the received second media signal in some identification pattern, which will be schematically presented in the following embodiments.
Wherein the communication application may alternatively be executed by the processor 12 as a desktop interactive program during start-up of the communication device for loading on the display screen.
Alternatively, in some Android operating systems, the communication application may be set to a start-up (Launcher) level application under the ROOT authority of the operating system, that is, the communication application is set as a desktop interactive program, so that, with the start-up of the operating system, the processor 12 may load the communication application without the presence of a conventional desktop or any other application on the display screen.
In some of the embodiments described above, the communication application may be specifically executed by the processor 12 to display a plurality of contact information on the display.
In practical application, when the operating system is started or is regarded as the communication device is awakened, the touch screen displays a plurality of contact information. The communication device is awakened from a power-off state to a power-on state, or from a state that the screen is changed into a bright state after being dark for a period of time, and the like.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the display of "touch screen" may also be referred to as "touch screen" or "touch front screen" display. The communication application program provided by the embodiment of the invention is exclusively displayed on the screen in the communication device, and the plurality of contact information can be always displayed or can be displayed based on a specific gesture operation of a user during the running of the communication application program and the whole running process. In general, communication applications are more difficult for a user to access (almost have no access to) other programs via a display while they are displayed by a display.
In addition, in the process of displaying the plurality of contact information on the touch screen, the interface bearing the plurality of contact information is the interface of the highest level of the communication application program, which is equivalent to the top layer in the interface interaction level, and is displayed first along with the starting of the communication application program.
Among these, setting the communication application as a desktop interactive program can be considered as a means for realizing display of a plurality of contact information on a screen.
The plurality of contact information may be configured by the user himself or may be configured remotely by another person. The contact information in the following embodiments, which is also referred to as contact profile information (profile), may include basic user information such as a name, an avatar, a phone number, etc. of the corresponding contact.
Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present invention, the communication application may not be set as a desktop interactive program, but may be one of many applications on the desktop of the user terminal device, and the user may start the communication application by clicking an icon of the communication application. At this time, after the communication application is started, the plurality of contact information may be displayed first.
Whether displaying the plurality of contact information on the touch screen or after the user manually initiates the communication application, in an alternative embodiment, the displaying of the plurality of contact information may be implemented as: the processor 12 executes a communication application to display a contact interface on the display, the contact interface displaying a first set of contact information of the plurality of contact information; a second set of contact information or application portal of the plurality of contact information is displayed in the contact interface in response to a user-applied switching operation.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, when a communication device of a user is started, the processor 12 may load a communication application program and display a contact interface of the communication application program on a screen, where the plurality of contact information may be located in the contact interface, and the contact interface may be a home page of the communication application program.
In practical applications, for a user, the total number of contacts may be fewer or more, but if all the contact information is displayed in the same screen, on one hand, the interface is too disordered, on the other hand, the area occupied by the information of each contact may be too small, so that the user cannot find the required target contact, and therefore, optionally, when the total number of contacts is more, such as greater than a certain value, the contacts may be displayed in groups, and each group contains a small number of contacts, such as two and three contacts. An upper limit on the number of contacts that can be accommodated within a contact group may be set such that the number of contacts contained within each contact group does not exceed the upper limit.
Based on this, as shown in fig. 2, alternatively, the processor 12 may display a plurality of contact information on a screen, which may be implemented as:
displaying a first contact group in a contact interface;
and responding to the switching operation of the user, and switching and displaying a second contact group or an application program entry in the contact interface.
The first contact group and the second contact group are short for the first contact information group and the second contact information group.
One or more application icons, namely application portals, can be further included in the contact interface, so that a user can click on a certain application icon to use a corresponding application program when needed. At this time, optionally, the display priority of the application icon may be set lower than the display priority of the contact, and therefore, in response to the switching operation of the user, the second contact group or the application icon may also be displayed in a switching manner in the contact interface.
In particular, each contact group may comprise a single contact information or 2 to 4 contact information, i.e. related information of one contact or related information of 2 to 4 contacts. In general, it is not preferable to include too much contact information in each contact group to avoid including too much contact information such that the display size of each contact information is too small for the user to view.
Based on the display of the contact interface, during execution of the communication application, the processor 12 may also display a first contact interaction interface corresponding to the first contact information on the display in response to a user selection of the first contact information in the contact interface, and record the voice message and/or the video/image message on the first contact interaction interface in an identified manner. Wherein the first contact information is located in the first contact information group or the second contact information group.
In fig. 2, it is illustrated that, after the user terminal device is turned on, a first contact group including contacts 1 and 2 is displayed in a contact interface, if no contact required by a user is in the first contact group, the user may apply a switching operation such as sliding on the interface, and at this time, based on the switching operation, an icon of the application 1 and a second contact group including contact 3 are displayed in the contact interface in a switching manner. If contact 2 in the first contact group is the contact for which the user desires to communicate, the user selects contact 2 as the peer user. At this time, an interactive interface corresponding to the opposite terminal user may be further displayed, and the interactive interface may include historical communication information and some function buttons of the opposite terminal user.
Of course, if the user selects the icon of the application 1, the user responds to the selection operation of the user on the application icon, and then a corresponding application interface is displayed, and the user can finish the use of the application in the application interface.
As shown in fig. 2, in the interactive interface corresponding to the contact 2, profile information such as a head portrait, a name, etc. of the contact 2, and some function buttons such as a "back" button illustrated in the figure are displayed in an upper area of the interactive interface. The remaining area is a history communication information display area in which various communication messages that the user has transmitted to the contact 2 and various communication messages that the contact 2 has received to transmit can be displayed.
Taking a voice message as an example, as shown in fig. 2, the voice message sent by the user to the contact 2 and the voice message sent by the contact 2 to the user may be represented by bars in different styles, and the differences in styles may be represented by differences in color, shape, and the like, for example. In addition, each bar may be associated with identification information such as a length of time, whether the bar has been read, etc.
For video/image messages and picture messages, they may be presented in the form of thumbnails. For a text message, if the number of text words is too long, only a certain number of partial text words may be displayed.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 2, the processor 12 optionally highlights second contact information or an application entry adjacent to the first contact information in the contact interface in response to a preset gesture operation by the user on the interactive interface of the first contact during operation of the communication application. At this time, if not the contact interface but an interactive interface with a certain counterpart user or an application program interface is displayed on the screen of the current communication device, the user may also directly return to the contact interface through a certain gesture operation, and may switch to displaying the effect of the next contact of the current contact, so that the user may reselect another counterpart user, and thus may trigger communication to another counterpart user, for example, a multi-finger pinch operation, a sideslip operation, or the like.
In another alternative embodiment, the display of the plurality of contact information may be implemented as: the processor 12 executes a communication application to display a first area and a second area on the display, to display at least a portion of the plurality of contact information in the first area, to maintain the first area in a set-top display state, and to be displayed always at a top-most level of the visual interaction level such that the plurality of contact information is always within the field of view of the user.
In these embodiments, the user selection process for the plurality of contact information may be: displaying the selected first contact information in the second area according to the selection operation of the user on the plurality of contact information; responsive to a confirmation operation of the user for the first contact information in the second area or the first area, displaying a first contact interaction interface corresponding to the first contact information in the second area, and recording voice messages and/or video/image messages on the first contact interaction interface in an identifying manner; wherein the second region has a size greater than the size of the first region. At this time, the first contact is the opposite end user of the communication of the user.
The user may perform, for example, a clicking operation on the first contact information displayed in the second area, so as to consider that the user performs a confirmation operation on the first contact information, and determine that the first contact is a peer user. The user may perform, for example, a click operation on the first contact information in the first area, so that the user is considered to trigger a confirmation operation for the first contact information, and the first contact is determined to be the opposite-end user.
Additionally, optionally, during execution of the communication application, the processor 12 may also highlight second contact information adjacent to the first contact information in the first area and display the second contact information in the second area in response to a preset gesture operation applied by the user with respect to the interface displayed in the second area. Based on the above, whether a certain interactive interface is displayed on the current display, a certain functional interface under the interactive interface or a certain application program interface, the user can quickly switch to display the effect of the next contact of the current contact through a certain gesture operation, so that the user can reselect another opposite-end user.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, when a communication device of a user is started, the processor 12 loads the communication application and then displays a user interface of the communication application on a screen, and the user interface may be divided into two areas, which are called a first area and a second area. As shown in fig. 3, the first region may alternatively be located below the second region. And displaying a plurality of contact information in the first area. Optionally, in addition to the plurality of contact information, an identifier of a plurality of applications, such as icons, may be displayed in the first area, that is, access to other applications used by the user is also provided to the communication application.
The plurality of contact information and the plurality of application identifications may be displayed in a line in the first area. It will be appreciated that, limited to the screen size of the user terminal device, when the number of contacts and applications is large, the number of contact information and application identifications that can be displayed simultaneously at most in the first area may be set, for example, to 3, so that, assuming that there are a total of 5 contact information and application identifications, in the case where the first three have been displayed, the user can slide the display of the remaining two by a sliding operation, for example, to traverse one time to the left, the first one that has been displayed on the left side removes the display field of the first area and the fourth one moves in.
In this embodiment, the first area is kept in the set-top display state, which means that the first area is displayed as a top interface of the communication application program, and the first area is not limited to be displayed on the top of the screen, and thus, the first area is set-top display and may also be referred to as set-front display. The first area is displayed by the top setting, so that a user can conveniently select a current required contact in the first area when communication with another contact is required to be established in the process of communication with the certain contact or in the process of using the certain application program. And the second area is used for displaying interface contents such as an interactive interface with the contact person, interfaces of other application programs and the like.
In this embodiment, it is still assumed that the first area is capable of displaying related information of 2 contacts at the same time. Assuming that the above-mentioned related information of the example contact 1 and contact 2 is displayed in the first area at the beginning, the first contact information displayed by default is placed in the selected state, then the contact 1 may be placed in the selected state at this time, so that profile information (profile), such as enlarged head portrait, phone number, etc., of the contact 1 in the selected state is displayed in the second area, after which the user may switch the contact currently in the selected state by a sliding operation in the first area or the second area, such as the user performs a sliding operation from right to left once, and the profile information (profile), such as enlarged head portrait, phone number, etc., of the contact 2 is displayed in the second area when the contact 2 is placed in the selected state. Then, when the user performs a sliding operation from right to left once again, since the first contact group has been switched to display, icons showing the second contact group and the application 1 are switched at this time, and at this time, the contacts 3 within the second contact group are placed in a selected state, profile information (profile) of the contacts 3, such as enlarged head portraits, telephone numbers, and the like, is displayed in the second area. If contact 2 is the desired end user of the user, the user may click on the avatar of contact 2 in the second area to complete the confirmation operation for contact 2.
When the user selects the contact 2 as the opposite user, optionally, as shown in fig. 3, an interactive interface corresponding to the opposite user, that is, an interactive interface corresponding to the contact 2, may be displayed in the second area. The interactive interface may include a history of communications with the peer user and a number of function buttons. Alternatively, in response to a user selection operation of the application icon displayed in the first area, an application interface may also be displayed in the second area.
As shown in fig. 3, the interactive interface corresponding to contact 2 occupies a second area in the screen, the first area still remaining displayed. The interactive interface displays profile information such as the head portrait, name, etc. of the contact 2 and some function buttons, such as a "back" button illustrated in the figure. The remaining area is a history communication information display area in which various communication messages that the user has transmitted to the contact 2 and various communication messages that the contact 2 has received to transmit, such as voice messages illustrated in fig. 3 in different styles of bars, can be displayed.
In the embodiments shown in fig. 2 and 3, optionally, among the plurality of contact information, a differential display effect may be set for a part of contact information, where the contact corresponding to the part of contact information may be a main contact of the user, so that the user may more conveniently find the main contact through the differential display effect. The differential presentation effect may be, for example, rendering the contact information in a certain highlighting color, or displaying the primary contact's avatar in a larger avatar size than the other contacts, etc.
In another alternative embodiment, the display of the plurality of contact information may be implemented as: the processor 12 executes a communication application to display a first contact interaction interface corresponding to a first contact on a display. If the user triggers the first operation or the second operation under the display condition of the first contact interaction interface, the first contact is used as the opposite user, and at this time, in response to the first trigger signal, the processor 12 acquires the voice message and/or the video/image message through the microphone and/or the camera, and sends the voice message and/or the video/image message to the first contact through the wireless data transmission network by the wireless data transmission unit 15; in response to the second trigger signal, voice messages and/or video/image messages received by the wireless data transmission unit 15 via the wireless data transmission network from the first contact or the second contact are output via the second speaker and/or the display and the voice messages and/or video/image messages are recorded on the first contact interactive interface in an identifying manner.
Wherein the second contact may not be user-selected, but rather the second contact is automatically treated as an opposite user upon receipt of a second media signal, i.e. a voice message and/or a video/image message, sent by the second contact. It can be appreciated that when receiving the second media signal sent by the plurality of contacts and not output, the corresponding opposite-end user when the user triggers the second operation can be determined according to the preset priority of the contacts.
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, during operation of the communication application, processor 12 may display a second contact interactive interface corresponding to the second contact on the display; and responding to the switching operation of the user, and switching and displaying the first contact interaction interface on the display. At this time, if the first contact interaction interface is displayed on the screen when the user triggers the first operation on the physical keyboard, it is determined that the first contact is the opposite user.
The second contact interaction interface may be a previous interface of the first contact interaction interface.
In this embodiment, each contact interaction interface may include related information of the corresponding contact, historical communication record information between the user and the contact, and some function buttons. The relevant information of the contact includes, for example, information such as an avatar, a telephone number, a name, and the like of the contact.
Alternatively, the switching display sequence of each contact interaction interface may be set in advance according to the importance degree and the creation sequence of each contact of the user.
The user can perform switching operation on the contact interaction interface, such as sliding operation of horizontal drawing to the left, and when the next contact interaction interface is switched and displayed on the screen every time the switching operation is performed, until the contact corresponding to the contact interaction interface to be switched and displayed is the contact which the user currently wants to communicate, the user stops performing the switching operation, and then triggers a certain operation on the physical key according to the communication requirement.
It will be appreciated that the above-mentioned selection procedure of several optional peer users is often required to be performed when the user needs to send data to a specific contact, and if, for example, the user receives data sent by a specific contact and immediately triggers playing of the received data, it may be considered that the selection procedure of the peer user is not required at this time, that is, it is not required to select which contact to play the data sent by.
Thus, in the case that the user needs to select the opposite-end user according to the communication requirement of the user, taking fig. 2 or fig. 3 as an example, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the user wants to establish communication with the opposite-end user, the operations that need to be performed sequentially include only: waking up the communication device (such as powering on or lighting up a screen) to directly display a plurality of contact information; selecting a peer user from the plurality of contact information; and triggering corresponding operation on the physical keyboard according to actual communication requirements. The operation process is greatly simplified.
The above operation is simplified, and as can be seen from the cases illustrated in fig. 2 to 4, the interface layers in the communication application provided by the embodiment of the present invention are less, and only two or three layers are provided. Such as in the embodiment shown in fig. 2 and 3: the first layer is an interface carrying a plurality of contact information, the second layer is an interactive interface or an application program interface of the contact, and the third layer is a functional interface which is entered by triggering a functional button in the interactive interface or the application program interface. In the embodiment shown in fig. 4: the first layer is an interactive interface or an application program interface of the contact person, and the second layer is a functional interface which is entered by triggering a functional button in the interactive interface or the application program interface.
In other words, in the embodiment of the invention, the interface level of the communication application program is simplified, that is, the interface level of the communication application program is flattened more, so that the flattened interface level reduces the interface interaction times required for establishing communication with a certain contact person, and on the other hand, the size of the installation package of the communication application program is effectively compressed, and the occupation of storage resources and processing resources of the user terminal device is reduced.
The foregoing describes the process of selecting a contact by the user through the interface operation, and after selecting a desired contact, the user may operate the physical keyboard 11 according to the communication requirement, thereby triggering communication with the selected contact.
However, it should be noted that the selection of the contact may be implemented not only by means of interface operations, but also by means of physical keys.
The following description will be given by way of example only, and not by way of limitation, of several alternative embodiments of the physical keyboard 11 and the process of establishing communication via the physical keyboard; the contact is selected by the physical key, and the physical keyboard 11 is operated to trigger the communication process with the selected contact.
Key/button layout and its form and function
Fig. 5a is a schematic structural diagram of a physical keyboard according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 5a, the physical keyboard includes a first key 21 and a second key 22, and optionally, the first key 21 and the second key 22 may be detachable with respect to a main body of a communication device, such as a mobile phone, and may be disposed on a separate base (not shown in the figure) and connected to a processor in a terminal communication device through a physical interface (not shown in the figure) of a connector between the main body of the communication device and the base.
The first key 21 and the second key 22 may be provided on the first face (front face) or the second face (side face) of the housing, for example, in an adjacent manner. The two physical keys can be square or round or other shaped outline structures. Of course, the first key 21 and the second key 22 may be disposed in a dispersed manner, for example, one disposed on the first surface of the housing and one disposed on the second surface of the housing; alternatively, the first key 21 and the second key 22 are provided on the same surface of the housing in a dispersed manner. In other alternative modifications, the first key 21 and the second key 22 may be connected together or integrally provided, and the key arrangement mentioned herein may be applied to the above or the following other embodiments of the present invention, and other parts will not be described herein.
Wherein the first key 21 may issue a first trigger signal to the processor 12 in response to a first single action by the user. At this time, the processor 12 collects a first media signal shorter than a preset time period through the media collection unit 13 in response to the first trigger signal, and transmits the first media signal through the wireless data transmission network through the wireless data transmission unit 15. Wherein the second key 22 may issue a second trigger signal to the processor 12 in response to a second single action by the user. The processor 12 outputs a second media signal received by the wireless data transmission unit 15 via the wireless data transmission network through the media playing unit 14 in response to the second trigger signal.
Wherein the first media signal and the second media signal may comprise a voice message and/or a video/image message, respectively, having a duration shorter than a preset duration.
As illustrated in fig. 5a, the first key 21 and the second key 22 may be keys, may be coupled to the processor directly or through a physical interface (not shown) and may be detachable with respect to the handset through the physical interface. Thus, in the present embodiment, the first single action may be a long press operation (one press but the duration of the press is long, such as at least 2 seconds), and the second single action may be a simple operation such as a single press operation (one press and the duration of the press is short, such as not more than 1 second), a rapid multiple continuous press operation, or the like.
In this embodiment, the two physical keys are set so that the user can implement different communication requirements, such as sending a first media signal and playing a received second media signal, by operating the two physical keys respectively.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the user can realize the communication requirement for the voice message or the audio-video message of the contact person through the one-key operation by the collection and the sending of the first media signal, and at this time, the processor 12 can respond to the first trigger signal to collect the first media signal not exceeding the preset duration through the media collection unit 13.
Specifically, the processor 12 may control the longest collection duration (i.e. the above-mentioned preset duration) for which the media collection unit 13 works once, for example, 1 minute, so that the user can only send the first media data to the contact for at most 1 minute at a time, and when the user still needs to continue to send, the first key 21 may be triggered again to perform the first operation once again. In practical applications, taking the first single action as an example of a long press operation, the user may perform a long press operation on the first key 21 to trigger the collection of the first media data (for example, voice), after the user presses the first key 21, the user may start speaking, at this time, the media collection unit 13 starts to collect the voice of the user under the control of the processor 12, if the pressing duration has not reached the above-mentioned longest collection duration, the user releases the key, and the media collection unit 13 stops collecting under the control of the processor 12 and sends the collected voice to the processor 12. Conversely, if the user has not released the key when the duration of the pressing has reached the above-described maximum acquisition duration, the media acquisition unit 13 may also stop the acquisition under the control of the processor 12 and send the voice that has been acquired to the processor 12.
In this example, after the user performs the first single action on the first key 21, the media capturing unit 13 may be caused to record the first media signal for a certain period of time, and then the recorded first media signal is sent out by the processor 12, that is, the user may be able to implement the voice message to the contact.
In practical applications, during the process of sending the first media signal, the processor 12 may first perform compression encoding processing on the first media signal by using a certain encoding standard, for example, h.264, and then encapsulate the compressed and encoded first media signal according to a certain network transmission protocol, for example, TCP, UDP, etc., and send the encapsulated data packet to the opposite terminal contact.
In this embodiment, the first key 21 and the second key 22 may be separately operated to trigger the acquisition and transmission of the first media signal and the playing of the second media signal, respectively, and alternatively, the first key 21 and the second key 22 may send a third trigger signal to the processor 12 in response to the third operation, and the processor 12 initiates an audio-video call through the wireless data transmission network via the wireless data transmission unit 15 in response to the third trigger signal. The third operation may be a pressing operation applied to the first key 21 and the second key 22 at the same time.
Specifically, the user may apply a third operation to the first key 21 and the second key 22, i.e., simultaneously pressing the first key 21 and the second key 22, after selecting a certain contact in the communication application. At this time, the first key 21 and the second key 22 respectively send the third trigger signal to the processor 12, and the processor 12 receives the third trigger signals sent by the first key 21 and the second key 22 respectively at the same time or in a shorter time interval, so as to initiate an online audio/video call to the corresponding contact.
It will be appreciated that if the contact answers the audio/video call, the processor 12 may control the media capturing unit 13 to start capturing the media signal of the user (referred to as a third media signal), and send the real-time captured third media signal to the contact side, where the third media signal may be an audio/video signal captured through a microphone and a camera.
To more clearly illustrate that the different operations performed on the first key 21 and the second key 22 correspond to different communication procedures, as shown in fig. 5b, a correspondence relationship between the different operations performed on the first key 21 and the second key 22 and the different communication procedures is illustrated in the drawing: a long-press operation is carried out on the first key 21, a first media signal shorter than a certain time length is triggered to be recorded, and the first media signal is sent after the first media signal is released; a short pressing operation, i.e. a single pressing operation, is performed on the second key 22, triggering playing of the received second media signal; simultaneously pressing the first key 21 and the second key 22 initiates an audio-video call.
Of course, optionally, the physical keyboard may further include another key disposed adjacent to the first key 21 and the second key 22, where the aforementioned initiation of the audio/video call may be implemented by performing a short-press operation on the other key.
In summary, through the two physical keys (the first key and the second key) provided in the embodiment, the user can realize the communication requirements of voice message, message receiving playing and online audio/video call through simple operation of the two physical keys.
Fig. 6a is a schematic structural diagram of another physical keyboard according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6a, the physical keyboard includes a third key 31.
In this embodiment, the third key 31 may send the first trigger signal and the second trigger signal to the processor 12 directly or through the connector and the physical interface in response to the first single action and the second single action, respectively.
The processor 12 collects a first media signal shorter than a preset time period through the media collection unit 13 in response to the first trigger signal, and transmits the first media signal through the wireless data transmission network through the wireless data transmission unit 15. The processor 12 outputs a second media signal received by the wireless data transmission unit 15 via the wireless data transmission network through the media playing unit 14 in response to the second trigger signal.
Optionally, a third key 31 may also issue a third trigger signal to the processor 13 in response to a third single action. In response to this third trigger signal, the processor 12 initiates an audio-video call via the wireless data transmission network through the wireless data transmission unit 15.
In this embodiment, through a single action operation on one physical key, the user can realize the communication requirements of sending a section of media signal, playing the received media signal, and initiating an online audio/video call.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 6a, the third key 31 may be a key, so that operations that may be performed on the key include, for example: single press operation, relatively continuous multiple press operation, long press operation. Thus, alternatively, the above-described first operation, second operation, and third operation may be a long press operation, a single press operation, a multiple press operation, respectively. The response processing logic of the user to trigger different operations of the post-processor 12 may refer to the description in the foregoing embodiment, and is not repeated.
When the third key 31 is implemented as a key, in order to more clearly illustrate that the different operations performed on the third key 31 correspond to different communication processes, as shown in fig. 6b, a correspondence relationship between the different operations performed on the third key 31 and the different communication processes is illustrated: performing long-pressing operation on the third key 31, triggering recording of a first media signal shorter than a certain time length, and sending the voice message after loosening; performing short pressing operation, namely single pressing operation, on the third key 31 to trigger playing of the received second media signal; and performing short pressing operation on the third key 31 for a plurality of times to initiate an audio-video call.
In summary, through the physical keyboard 11 provided on the communication device according to the embodiment of the present invention, a user can realize different communication requirements only by performing simple operations on at least one physical key included in the physical keyboard 11, so that the operation is convenient, and the timeliness and reliability of sending a communication message to a contact by the user and the timeliness of receiving a communication message sent by the contact are also ensured.
The foregoing describes several implementations of the physical keyboard 11 on a communication device, which may have different implementations in practical applications. For example, the communication apparatus may be implemented as a communication terminal such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, or the like, may be implemented as a portable terminal device, may be implemented as a remote controller, or the like. In the following, several specific implementations are described in connection with the following embodiments.
Design for separating button and host
In an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, the communication device is embodied as a communication terminal such as a smart phone, tablet computer, or the like. The physical keyboard illustrated in fig. 7 includes the third key and the fourth key mentioned in the foregoing embodiments, wherein the third key is illustrated as a key with an L/T letter and the fourth key is illustrated as a key with an E letter. At this time, the front side of the communication device further includes a display with a larger size, and the display supports the triggering operation, so that the display may also be a touch screen, and may be used to display interface elements such as the contact interaction interface illustrated in fig. 7. The physical keyboard is shown in fig. 7 in a position below the display, but the physical keyboard may be located on the left or right side of the display, for example, without limitation.
Additionally, in some alternative embodiments, a housing of the communication device may be further provided with a warning light that reflects the operating state of the communication device, such as a warning light that reflects whether the power is sufficient (e.g., the power warning light illustrated in fig. 7), and blinks or lights up when the power is low to prompt the user to charge the communication device; such as a warning light reflecting the status of network connection (e.g., a network warning light as illustrated in fig. 7), blinks or lights up when the network quality is abnormal to warn the user that the network is poor.
In addition, as shown in fig. 7, a power key, a volume adjustment key may be provided on the side of the communication device.

Integrated interactive interface
It should be appreciated that: in' Integrated interactive interfaceAny of the methods or apparatus according to embodiments of the invention mentioned hereinafter may be used in conjunction with the foregoing methods including, but not limited to "Key/button layout and its form and function”“Button and host computer separable equipment Meter with a meter body"etc. in accordance with the description of the method or apparatus of the embodiment of the present invention, or seek to implement means, etc.
In the process of researching a communication device, such as a mobile terminal device like a mobile phone, the inventor discovers that in a software system and a communication system in the prior art, different application programs independently receive and present data and utilize communication resources; the applications also each design independent interoperation, and there is no possibility of integrating data and resources of each application for use by users, and there is an unaware need in the prior art, and accordingly, the related solutions are also lacking. Under the existing architecture of operating system software and application software, users need to perform independent interaction with respect to different application programs respectively in the process of accessing required data through an interaction interface of a communication device, which reduces the efficiency of accessing data or information stored in different application programs by the users.
FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of a prior art system architecture for establishing communication with contacts via a mobile terminal, and the following will describe the system architecture in conjunction with FIG. 11 to reduce the inefficiency of a user to obtain data from multiple applications via human-computer interaction. As shown in fig. 11, the existing man-machine interaction, the access relationship between the person and the program can be clearly expressed. The prior art is to configure communication resources with multiple communication applications in an operating system as a guide, which makes it necessary for a user to access different application programs 1101 and application programs 1102, respectively, even multiple communication information for the same contact, such as Short Messages (SMS) and voice messages, respectively, which correspond to different services and may come from different communication networks, or happen (ocur) based on different communication networks or corresponding interfaces. Such as from the mobile phone network 1108 and the WLAN (Wireless Local Area Networks, wireless local area network) network 1107, respectively, this configuration of the decentralized communication resources for the same contact 1103 is due on the one hand to the diversification development in the evolution of the communication network and on the other hand to the diversification development of the application development ecology in the development of the software technology, but of course there may be other reasons, but in any event this results in that the information of this contact 1103 is stored decentralized in different applications and that the various communication information similar to the one mentioned above for this contact is also required to be handled and stored decentralized in different applications, respectively. In addition, this situation also results in the user 1104 having to access to different applications, the application 1101, the application 1102, etc., respectively, and perform different or somewhat repetitive, large number of, multi-level interactions with respect to each application, respectively, to obtain the corresponding information. And each application program has independent interaction interfaces and information presentation modes, and the possibility of integrating the application programs by taking user interaction as a guide does not exist.
In addition, for users desiring to simplify man-machine interaction, the elderly and some general users, they are more concerned about a certain communication object in a communication device such as a mobile phone and the content of communication information itself generated between the communication object and the communication object can be conveniently accessed, rather than which application program or communication channel the communication information is provided by, for example, in a use scene of the mobile phone, some users are more concerned about communication with contacts in the mobile phone, such as short messages sent and received through a mobile phone network, dialing/answering a phone call, or voice messages sent or received through a wireless data transmission network, network phones of incoming and outgoing calls, etc.; however, these contact information and the communication information of the related contacts are stored in different application programs in a decentralized manner, for example, in the existing smart phone, the contacts need to be stored in a phone address book, and the contacts need to be stored in an internet communication tool, although in many cases, the two corresponding contacts are the same contact, which causes redundancy of information. This is determined by the software architecture of the multi-application plus operating system described above, and is not described in detail herein.
As described above, this potential problem arises in part because the existing multiple application software developed by different vendors and running on an operating system is a technical problem that a technician cannot predict as necessary and cannot be solved under the prior art architecture.
The potential need in the above-described scenario has not been identified in the prior art, but based on the above-described research effort and the discovery of solutions to the deficiencies of the prior art, the inventors have recognized that it would be beneficial if the accessibility (accessibility) of the communication information or the user interface for communication by the user during interaction with the communication device could be improved. This means that it is necessary to propose a user-oriented or simplified-oriented interaction between the user and the communication device, instead of the architecture of "operating system + multiple applications" in the prior art, to redesign the interaction interface or man-machine interface of the communication device.
Some embodiments of the first resource providing method
Based on the inventors' findings of these deficiencies of the prior art and the corresponding studies of potential needs; in an embodiment of the present invention, a resource providing method for a communication apparatus is proposed, optionally the method may be run at an electronic device having a processor unit, a memory, and a display, fig. 12 is a flow chart of the resource providing method according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 12, the resource providing method comprising:
In step 1201, communication is established with a first communication object over at least one communication network available to a communication device to generate a plurality of communication information.
In step 1202, a plurality of communications are provided to a user of a communications device through at least one interactive interface of the communications device.
From the viewpoint of user interaction, the above step 1202 may be understood as taking the first communication object as a guide to configure the communication resources and the communication information on the interactive interface in the communication process of the user and the first communication object through the communication device, or taking the first communication object as a center (center) to reconfigure the communication resources on the interactive interface in the communication process of the user and the first communication object through the communication device, which also improves the accessibility of a plurality of communication information for the user. This is quite different from the configuration of communication resources in the prior art, which is often conducted by taking communication resources such as communication functions, communication applications, communication channels, and the like as directions.
Meanwhile, it should be noted that: the first communication object mentioned in the above step may be a company or a person as a communication object, or a virtual object such as a robot, chat application software, or the like. And in particular to establish communication with the first communication object, it may be that the communication with the first object is actually performed by means of a communication tool associated with the first communication object, which communication tool has access to the at least one communication network.
The communication means associated with the first communication object may be understood as a communication device in a hardware form used by the first communication object or a communication means in a software form running on an entity communication device, for example, the former may be a mobile device for communication with or without an operating system, the latter may be instant messaging software running on a communication apparatus or an electronic device, or the like.
Optionally, in some embodiments of the present invention, the at least one communication network may include a plurality of wireless communication networks, or may further include one or more wired communication networks, and in some embodiments below, the resource providing method in the embodiments of the present invention will be described by taking a scenario in which a user establishes communication with a certain (indirect) contact using a mobile terminal connected to the plurality of wireless communication networks as an example. For example, if the first contact uses two communication devices, i.e. a mobile phone and a tablet computer connected to the internet, one of the communication tools corresponding to the first contact in at least one communication network is: the mobile telephone corresponding to the first contact in the mobile telephone network is provided with a telephone number, for example 1376118xx52, in the mobile telephone network through which the communication is addressed in the network. The tablet personal computer is provided with Instant Messaging (IM) software, and another communication tool corresponding to the first contact in at least one communication network is the Instant Messaging (IM) software; the tablet computer is allocated with address information such as an IP address and a port number on the internet, and the instant messaging software can be addressed to communicate through the address information. Of course, the user may change the communication tool, for example, log in the instant messaging software in another computer, smart phone, tablet, etc., and at this time, the communication network and network address (IP, network segment) where the user is located may also change, so that the communication device of the user may communicate with the first contact person through the communication network based on the changed address information.
Here, those skilled in the art will understand that: the user communicates with the contact via the mobile terminal, in effect via an electronic, optoelectronic or photonic medium/channel or network, with the communication device or means associated with the communication object or contact, and the communication address used is also typically the destination address assigned to the communication device on a network or network information similar to the communication means that enables the user to be identified and located on the communication network. Hereinafter, details of such communication will not be described again. While in some embodiments of the invention described above or below, it may be simplified to describe: communication between the user and the communication object, the contact, or communication information between the two, or communication between the user and the communication object or the contact through the mobile terminal, etc.
In the resource providing method according to the previous and subsequent embodiments of the present invention, the plurality of communication information may have a plurality of different attributes, for example, a plurality of different media types, services belonging to different properties, communication networks from different service properties, and the like, and the above-mentioned first communication object may be a first contact, as a communication object, stored in the mobile terminal by a user (not shown in the figure), and the step 1201 of integrally providing may further include the steps of: the plurality of communication information is integrated and output to at least one interactive interface for the first contact. Wherein the number of at least one interactive interface is smaller than the number of "a plurality of different properties". The at least one interactive interface, if comprising a plurality of interactive interfaces, for example a plurality of interactive interfaces for the first contact, may appear continuously in the sequence of interactive interfaces of the communication device or may appear independently at different positions in the sequence of interactive interfaces of the communication device due to a plurality of unassociated operations of the user.
Of course, the at least one interactive interface may also include a single user interface for the first contact, where the plurality of communications information may be displayed on the first contact interactive interface collectively or centrally, or may be displayed on the first contact interactive interface in groups, for example, for two setting modes of the communications device, the plurality of communications information may be divided into multiple groups and displayed on the first contact interactive interface sequentially in time. For example, in the interactive interface diagram in the resource providing method according to another embodiment of the present invention shown in fig. 20, the communication device may switch the connection between the WLAN and the mobile communication network in response to a clicking operation of a mode switching button such as "handset mode"/"internet mode" or "outdoor mode"/"home mode" for easy understanding by the user on the upper right side of the first contact interactive interface. Whereas communication traffic corresponding to WLAN is primarily data traffic, e.g., transmitting or receiving one or more of the following information: audio messages, video messages, picture messages, geographic locations, text messages, files, data, and so forth. The communication service corresponding to the mobile communication network is mainly a voice service and a short message service. Voice telephony, short message related information may be displayed on the first contact interactive interface in handset mode, as shown in the first message area 2003 in the left hand diagram of fig. 20. And data service related information such as voice message receiving and transmitting can be separately displayed on a first contact interaction interface (not shown in the figure) in the internet mode. Here, i) voice service information and short message service information ii) the data service information through the mobile data network or WLAN are separately displayed on the display screen. Of course, not limited to the case where the plurality of pieces of communication information are displayed in the same space at different times, that is, the first contact interaction interface, the plurality of pieces of communication information may be collectively displayed on the first contact interaction interface, as shown in the first message area 2003 in the right-hand drawing of fig. 20. Here, by integrating and displaying a plurality of communication information from one or more communication networks carrying different communication services, accessibility of the plurality of communication information is enhanced, and interaction complexity of users in accessing the information is reduced.
Alternatively, on the same interaction interface level (hierarchy), only one interaction interface may be set for the same contact, for which case the first contact interaction interface is hereinafter referred to as the first contact interaction interface. Of course, a plurality of interaction interfaces may also be provided, for example, two communication interaction interfaces are configured in the mobile terminal of the user, in the first communication interaction interface, or may also be referred to as a first communication recording interface, a voice message between the two communication interaction interfaces and the first contact person is provided in an integrated manner, a recording of a video/voice call through a wireless local area network/mobile data network, a short message sent and received through a mobile phone network is provided in an integrated manner, a video message between the two communication interaction interfaces and the first contact person through a wireless data transmission network, GPS position information, a call record of dialing/answering through the mobile phone network/voice network is provided in an integrated manner in the second communication recording interface, and so on. Of course, the examples herein merely illustrate that communication interfaces including communication information via different communication networks may be presented for viewing by a user in response to a user switching operation between a first communication interface and a second communication interface. Likewise, the first communication interaction interface and the second communication interaction interface may also include communication information that is transmitted and received and processed by different communication application software through a plurality of communication networks, which are different or the same, and these similar embodiments are not described herein again.
Meanwhile, it should be noted that: in the step 1201, the mobile terminal of the user may establish communication with the first contact through only one communication network, or may establish communication with the first contact through a plurality of communication networks, but may generate a plurality of different attribute or different types of communication information. Referring to the above example of receiving and transmitting a short message and making/receiving a call through a mobile phone network, in the resource providing method of the above embodiment, a user may communicate with a first contact only through the mobile phone network to which the mobile terminal is connected, so as to obtain two types of communication information, such as a call making/receiving record and a short message. This case also falls within the scope of the method of the present embodiment, and a description of this case of obtaining multiple communication information through a single network will not be given in the following embodiments. Here, by integrating and displaying the plurality of communication information from one or more communication networks carrying different communication services, accessibility of the plurality of communication information corresponding to various service properties is enhanced, and complexity of interaction of a user in accessing the information is reduced, for example, the user does not need to access different application programs such as a call management program, a short message management program and the like in a mobile phone respectively to obtain two different communication information respectively.
The communication information, communication content or communication data displayed in the communication interactive interface is not limited to the content with various properties/types, and the different properties of the communication information also include different network sources, such as networks from different service properties, or networks based on different service properties. Such as a mobile communication network, a fixed communication network, a wireless data transmission network, a WLAN typified by WIFI, a mobile telephone network, a mobile data network, and the like. Furthermore, the communication device may connect to a plurality of communication networks of different traffic properties while the generated communication information is from interfaces of the plurality of communication networks corresponding to the different traffic properties, respectively, or occurs (ocur) based on the plurality of communication networks of the different traffic properties or the corresponding network interfaces, respectively. These interfaces are communication interfaces following the communication protocols of the plurality of communication networks described above, or simply a plurality of communication network interfaces.
Taking as an example a wireless data transmission network interface based on the open system interconnection communication reference model (OSI, open System Interconnection Reference Model), the wireless data transmission network interface may be divided into a plurality of parts, for example, may include an interface belonging to a physical layer; an interface belonging to the data link layer, or a data link interface, can also be included; the system also can comprise interfaces belonging to a network layer, and particularly can comprise communication addresses, port numbers, hardware chips, corresponding drivers and other software and/or hardware resources; interfaces corresponding to traffic carried by the network, or simply traffic interfaces, may also be included. As an integral part of the wireless data transfer network interface, the communication interfaces, e.g., data link interfaces, in the various layers may be implemented at least in part in the communication device or distributed among a plurality of network devices including switches, servers, while providing a calling interface, e.g., a system calling interface or a network calling interface, to an application running in the communication device. As another part of the overall wireless data transport network interface, some of the higher layer interfaces in OSI may be implemented in the operating system of the communication device, or in an application running therein. In the same way, in the communication device of the present embodiment, the voice interface and the sms interface for the mobile phone network may be managed by the operating system such as Android or the underlying software and then indirectly provided to the application program of the instant messaging class after being encapsulated, and the wireless data transmission interface may also be directly or indirectly provided to the application program of the same instant messaging class. The configuration and deployment manners of the multiple communication network interfaces are also applicable to the methods or apparatuses of the other embodiments described above or below, and will not be described in detail hereinafter.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the specific embodiments of these communication network interfaces are varied and that the specific embodiments do not limit the invention. For example, the sms interface and the voice interface managed by the os for the mobile phone network may be integrated with the data link interface of the wireless data transmission network supporting the instant messaging function through redevelopment of the os interface, and encapsulated into the same application. Further, it should be noted that the interface resources of the plurality of communication networks of the communication apparatus of the present embodiment are integrated and provided to the same instant messaging application in a direct or indirect manner, in other words, the instant messaging application in the communication apparatus of the present embodiment may call up interfaces of a plurality of different communication networks, such as a voice interface of a mobile phone network, a short message interface, and a wireless data transmission network interface, etc., so as to transmit and receive data through the plurality of different communication network interfaces, which may be duplicated and utilized differently by a plurality of independent applications, respectively, as compared with the interfaces of the communication networks in the related art.
Based on this, optionally, in the resource providing method of some embodiments, the communication establishing step 1201 further includes establishing communication with the network address corresponding to the first contact through the mobile phone network and the wireless data transmission network to generate a plurality of communication information having different service properties. The integrating outputting step 1202 further includes an arrangement displaying step of displaying a plurality of communication information arrangements with different service properties for the first contact through the mobile phone network and the wireless data transmission network on the first contact interaction interface.
Alternatively, the plurality of communication information may be generated through a corresponding network protocol interface among the interfaces of the plurality of communication networks, where the plurality of communication information corresponds to different service properties. Correspondingly, the communication establishing step 1201 may further include that the user establishes communication with the first contact via a plurality of communication network interfaces to generate a plurality of communication information of different traffic properties. The foregoing arrangement display step may further include integrating and outputting, on the first contact interaction interface, a plurality of communication information for different service properties of the first contact through the plurality of communication networks. Here, by integrating and displaying the plurality of communication information from one or more communication networks carrying different communication services, accessibility of the plurality of communication information corresponding to various service properties is enhanced, and interaction complexity of a user in accessing the information is reduced, for example, the user does not need to access different application programs such as a call management program, a short message management program and the like in a mobile phone respectively to obtain two different communication information respectively; similarly, two kinds of communication information with different service properties, such as a short message and a voice message, are respectively acquired without respectively accessing different application programs, such as a short message management program and an instant communication program, in the mobile phone.
Optionally, the plurality of communication information of different service properties includes, for example, i) voice service information, ii) short message service information; iii) Data traffic information including one or more of the following: audio messages, video messages, picture messages, geographic locations, text messages, files, data; and the foregoing arrangement display step further includes:
and displaying at least two of the voice service information and the short message service information aiming at the first contact person and the data service information in a first message area according to the occurrence time sequence.
Optionally, in the above first message area, only the latest 1 or 2 to 3 records in at least two of the voice service information and the short message service information for the first contact person and the data service information may be displayed, so that if the first message area is only used for displaying 1 to 3 communication records, the fonts of each communication record may be relatively large, and the visual presentation effect for the user is relatively good.
In some embodiments, the plurality of communication information may further include a plurality of different attributes, where the plurality of communication information may originate from a plurality of communication function modules, that is, the plurality of communication information is processed by or transmitted through a plurality of communication function modules, and the plurality of communication function modules are configured in the communication device, and may respectively follow different communication protocols to be compatible with different communication networks. Correspondingly, the resource providing method in the embodiment according to the present invention may further include the step of providing the communication function module: a plurality of communication function modules are provided in the communication device that are compatible with at least one communication network, compatible with which communication tools of the at least one communication network can establish communication with the first contact. And, the communication establishing step 1201 may further include the sub-steps of: communication is established with the first contact via at least one communication network through a plurality of communication function modules to generate a plurality of communication information.
FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram of a communication device and its interactive interface according to another embodiment of the present invention; the first contact interaction interface and the communication information available therein are further explained in connection with fig. 14. In this embodiment of the present invention, the at least one interaction interface for a single first contact described above may be the only one layer interaction interface for the first contact in the interface hierarchy, i.e. the first contact interaction interface for providing the user with multiple types of communication records as described above, or referred to as an interface layer of communication records with the first contact. Of course, it is not excluded that the first contact interaction interface comprises, in addition to the interface layer of the communication record, other interaction interface layers, such as a first contact profile interface layer, located at a level above the interface layer of the communication record. By providing the first contact profile interface over the communication record interface, the structural and conciseness of the presentation of information to the user may be further enhanced.
The integration output step 1202 of the resource providing method of this embodiment may further include the steps of: integrating and outputting the communication information aiming at the first contact through the communication network on the first contact interaction interface. For example, in the above embodiment, the different types of communication data that are distributed and integrated in the first communication interaction interface and the second communication interaction interface may be alternatively displayed only on the first contact interaction interface in the resource providing method of the present embodiment, instead of being displayed on the first communication interaction interface and the second communication interaction interface respectively. In other words, in the resource providing method of the present embodiment, in response to the switching operation of the user, a plurality of different attribute or type of communication data of different groups may be switched on the first communication interactive interface to be provided to the user. Of course, in another alternative embodiment, instead of the user switching the display of the grouped communication information of different media types/service types in the first contact interaction interface, the communication information or the communication data of multiple different attributes or types may be all integrally displayed in the first contact interaction interface, as shown in the first contact interaction interface in fig. 14.
The method further uses the contact person as a guide, configures communication resources and communication information, and improves accessibility of the communication information to users. This reduces interaction complexity for some users who are relatively concerned about the communication information with the communication contacts and who desire to have access to such information in a simple operation. The resource providing method reconfigures the communication information at the interaction layer by taking the contact person as the center so as to integrate and output, and pre-judges (anti-date) the potential requirement in the prior art and solves the corresponding technical problem.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the at least one communication network comprises a wireless communication network, and the wireless communication network further comprises two networks: mobile telephone network, wireless data transmission network. Correspondingly, the plurality of communication function modules include a mobile phone network communication function module, a wireless data transmission network communication function module, and the step 1201 of communicating through at least one communication network further includes: the communication function module is connected to the mobile telephone network and the wireless data transmission network respectively through the mobile telephone network communication function module and the wireless data transmission network communication function module, and communication is established between the mobile telephone network and the wireless data transmission network through communication tools associated with the first contact person through the two networks so as to generate a plurality of communication information; and, the integrating outputting step 1202 further includes: arranging and displaying a plurality of communication information aiming at a first contact through a mobile telephone network and a wireless data transmission network on a first contact interaction interface; the arrangement order can be longitudinal or transverse, such as a mobile phone operated on a transverse screen, etc.
Fig. 15 is a schematic diagram of an interactive interface in a resource providing method according to another embodiment of the present invention, and the resource providing method in this embodiment is further described below with reference to fig. 15. In the resource providing method according to this embodiment of the present invention, the first contact interaction interface includes a first message area 1502, and the mobile phone network communication function module includes a voice interface and a short message interface configured in the mobile terminal 1500, and the plurality of communication information respectively used for transmission/processing includes, but is not limited to: i) Voice call recording, ii) short message text; the communication information which is correspondingly processed or transmitted by the communication function module of the wireless data transmission network is data service information, and comprises one or more of audio information, video information, picture information, geographic position, text information, file and data. The arrangement display step further includes: at least two of the three types of i) voice call records, ii) short message text, iii) data service information for the first contact are integrated and displayed in the first message area 1502 according to the occurrence time sequence, as shown in fig. 15. Here, by integrating and displaying the plurality of communication information from one or more communication networks carrying different communication services, accessibility of the plurality of communication information corresponding to various service properties is enhanced, and interaction complexity of a user in accessing the information is reduced, for example, the user does not need to access different application programs such as a call management program, a short message management program and the like in a mobile phone respectively to obtain two different communication information respectively; similarly, two kinds of communication information with different service properties, such as a short message and a voice message, are respectively acquired without respectively accessing different application programs, such as a short message management program and an instant communication program, in the mobile phone.
In the method of the above embodiment, the method may further include the step of: in response to a selection operation by the user, the above-mentioned various audio/video type messages presented in the first message area 1502 are output to the user through a display or a speaker in a visual or audible (audio) manner, and optionally, when the network to which the mobile terminal is connected is a mobile data network, in this case, the above-mentioned various audio/video type messages may be downloaded through the mobile data network when the user selects to play. Of course, additional text information such as short messages may be automatically downloaded by the mobile terminal over the network and presented in the first message area 1502 of the display.
FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram showing switching of an interactive interface for displaying the latest message or messages in a resource providing method according to another embodiment of the present invention, where in the embodiment, the time-sequence arrangement displaying step further includes: in i) voice call records, ii) short message text, iii) data service information for the first contact, one or more of the following are specifically included: in at least two types of message queues of the three types of communication information, only the latest record or records are selected, or information such as a timestamp of the displayed message can be associated with the information, and the information is displayed in the first message areas 1602-A and 1602-B. Because less information is displayed, the display space in the first contact interaction interfaces 1603-a, 1603-B can be fully utilized, facilitating easy visualization of the information by the user.
Optionally, in the resource providing method according to the above and the following embodiments of the present invention, the first contact interaction interface belongs to a single application program, which means that a plurality of communication information are integrally displayed in the same application or associated multiple programs, and the following situations are not included: the first application program displays the first communication information or the interactive content on the display screen of the communication device, and the second application program independent of the first application program temporarily pops up the second communication information or the interactive content such as the notification on the screen, thereby sharing the space of the display screen of the whole communication device with the first application program. Here, the plurality of communication information with different service properties are integrated and displayed in the same application or in the same application, so that the presentation order of the communication information is improved, the accessibility of the communication information is further improved, and the user can manage and acquire the information conveniently. In this connection, the embodiments described hereinabove and hereinafter are applicable and will not be described in detail hereinafter. Additionally, here, optionally, before the step of establishing communication through the communication network, further includes: a single application is loaded as a desktop interactive program during a startup phase of the communication device. In some Android operating systems, the communication application may be set to a start-up (Launcher) level application under the ROOT authority of the operating system, that is, the communication application is set to be a desktop interactive program, so that, with the starting of the operating system, the processor 12 may load the communication application to which the first contact interactive interface belongs, without any conventional desktop or other application program. In this manner of initiation, the communication application may be specifically executed by the processor 12 to occupy display resources on the display, i.e., the display screen, in an exclusive manner.
Here, optionally, the first contact interaction interface, the second contact interaction interface, and the subsequent interface providing the application, which are one of the interaction interfaces provided by the single application, may be displayed on the display of the communication device as a first level or top level in the interaction level with the start of the single application, which is applicable to the previous and subsequent embodiments, and will not be described herein. Thus, the first contact interaction interface, and the content such as the contact profile interface, the contact interaction interface and the like in the first contact interaction interface can be displayed on the display screen in a 'super screen' manner. By means of the exclusive resource integration providing mode, communication contacts are used as centers or are used as guidance, communication resources such as a plurality of pieces of communication information or user interfaces aiming at communication networks are integrated and configured in a priority mode at the upper layer of the interaction level, and accessibility of contact related information and communication inlets is greatly facilitated.
The resource providing method according to the above embodiment of the present invention may further include the steps of: a user interface element is provided on the first contact interaction interface, the user interface element(s) being associated with the communication network to form a communicable coupling relationship to establish or terminate a corresponding communication, such that a user may initiate/accept a communication request through the corresponding communication network by manipulating the user interface element(s) on the first contact interaction interface. On the one hand, the user interface elements are each associated with a plurality of communication networks, and on the other hand, the functional operation (functional operation) of the user interfaces is also triggered by a plurality of different operations from the user, respectively. Correspondingly, the step of establishing communication over the communication network further comprises: in response to a user operation of the user interface element, communication is established with the first contact over the communication network to generate a plurality of communication data.
It should be noted that: the user operation on the user interface element mentioned herein generally refers to a single action operation, where a single action has been explained above, where the user can conveniently establish the communication on only a single interface through a single action operation, and no independent operation is generally required for two or more times, or even switching of the interactive interface for two or more times. The accessibility of the communication information and the interface elements is improved, and the complexity of user interaction is reduced. In addition, on the one hand, one or more user interface elements may be responsive to a plurality of operations by a user, and on the other hand, one or more user interface elements may be associated with one or more communication networks, respectively, by a processor, such that communication via this/these communication networks may be established for the communication device by the processor, e.g. a first user interface element may trigger the processor to establish communication with a wireless data transmission network of a contact for the mobile terminal in response to a first operation by the user, while a second user interface element may trigger the processor to establish communication with a mobile telephone network of the contact for the mobile terminal in response to a second operation by the user. The association between one or more user interface elements, one or more communication networks, and one or more user operations described herein may be applied to the methods, apparatuses, and devices of the previous and subsequent embodiments, and will not be described in detail in other embodiments.
Fig. 17 is a schematic view of an interactive interface of a providing button in a resource providing method according to another embodiment of the present invention, and user interface elements in the resource providing method according to this embodiment include a first button 1706 and a second button 1707. The first button 1706 and the second button 1707 or still other buttons comprised by the user interface element may be responsive to different operations of the user, such as a single press of the first button 1706, a double press of the first button 1706, or a single long-time press of the second button 1707, etc., respectively, to establish communications over different 2 or 3 communication networks, such as a wireless data transmission network or a mobile telephone network, respectively, to transmit communication data or information of various different media types conforming to the communication protocols of these networks, online or offline, including online video, online voice, text information, audio information, video information, data information, etc., through the communications of these networks; the data information may also include GPS address location, files, data, etc., as well as calls, short messages, etc. from the mobile telephone network.
Correspondingly, the step of establishing a communication over the communication network further comprises: responsive to independent operation of the first button 1706 and the second button 1707, respectively, the enabled mobile terminal may be enabled to send audio messages and/or video/image messages and/or text messages over a wireless data transmission network and output audio messages and/or video/image messages and/or text messages received over the wireless data transmission network on the first contact interaction interface 1703.
Optionally, the first button and the second button may be disposed in relatively close proximity (not shown in the figure), and the step of establishing communication over the communication network further comprises: in response to an associated operation such as a synchronous press of the first button and the second button, the mobile terminal may be enabled to initiate an audio-video call over the wireless data transmission network.
Optionally, the step of establishing communication over the communication network further comprises: in response to a plurality of user operations on the user interface element, respectively, a plurality of communications are conducted with the first contact over the communication network to generate a plurality of communication data. In other words, the user may enable the mobile terminal to perform various communications with the first contact through one or more mobile communication networks by applying different operations and gestures to a certain interface element to generate a plurality of communication data.
Optionally, user interface elements on the first contact interaction interface, e.g. a first button, a second button, may switch the functions of these buttons in response to a switching operation by the user. In some embodiments, when the mobile terminal is connected to a different communication network, the first button and the second button may automatically redefine their functions, or redefine the functions of the first button and the second button in response to a switching operation of the user. For example, when the mobile terminal is connected to a mobile telephone network, the first button may be responsive to a single press to place a voice call to the first contact via the mobile telephone network or to listen to a short message from the first contact via the mobile telephone network, and the second button may be responsive to a single press to send a short message to the first contact via the mobile telephone network. And when the mobile terminal is connected to the WLAN in the room, the first button and the second button can respond to a single pressing to send voice leave words to the first contact person and listen to voice messages from the first contact person.
Fig. 19 is a schematic diagram of an interactive interface in a resource providing method according to another embodiment of the present invention. The user interface elements in the resource providing method according to this embodiment include a first key 1902, a second key 1903, a third key 1904, and a fourth key 1905. As another modification of the user interface element of the present embodiment, the four keys may be associated with communication functions of the mobile phone network and the wireless data transmission network, such as a mobile data network or a WLAN, respectively. For example, the first key 1902 may listen for a short message from a first contact via the mobile telephone network in response to a single press, while the second key 1903 sends the short message to the first contact via the mobile telephone network. While the third key 1904 may collect a voice message of the user and send the voice message to the first contact through the mobile data network or WLAN in response to a long press operation, the fourth key 1905 may listen to the voice message from the first contact through the mobile data network or WLAN in response to a short single press operation. All the above-described records of the transmitted and received voice messages, the transmitted and received short messages, the incoming/outgoing calls, and the like are displayed in the first message area 1906. The mobile phone can provide the sending and receiving of a plurality of communication information such as short messages of short message service and audio messages of data service on the same interface, thereby further improving the accessibility of the communication information and interface elements and reducing the complexity of user interaction.
Of course, it should be understood that: the specific implementation of sending a short message or short message to the first contact via the mobile phone network in response to a single press is various, for example, a soft keyboard may be provided on the display of the mobile terminal in response to a single press by the user for the user to edit the short message, and in response to a sending operation by the user, the edited short message is sent out via the mobile phone network via the SMS short message interface in the mobile terminal. Alternatively, the audio signal of the user may be collected through the microphone in response to a single press of the user and converted into the short message content by using the software conversion module of "voice→text" in the mobile terminal, and then the converted short message content is sent out through the SMS short message interface in the mobile terminal via the mobile phone network in response to the sending operation of the user, where specific implementation forms are not enumerated any more.
Optionally, the user interface element may further include another third button (not shown in the figure); and establishing communication over the wireless communication network further comprises: in response to operation of the third button, an online audio group call or video group call is alternatively initiated via the mobile telephone network or the wireless data transmission network. In other words, when the user operates the third button, if the network environment of one of the mobile phone network, the mobile data network, or the wireless lan is not good enough, which may affect the call quality or even fail to call out, the resource providing method of the present embodiment may support the mobile terminal to automatically switch the network connection to the network with better network signals, so as to ensure the call quality.
Preferably, in all of the foregoing or following embodiments, these user interface elements, similar to the first, second and third buttons 1706, 1707 of the present embodiment, that correspond to a variety of communication means, such as sending voice messages to contacts, making phone calls, etc., may each be provided in a persistent manner on a directly viewable portion of a single-level interactive interface, such as the first contact interactive interface 1703 shown in FIG. 17. On the one hand, these user interface elements are continuously and stably present in the same (idetical) partial area on the interface, which avoids the need for the user to reproduce the user interface elements on the interface by additional operations when the user interface elements are automatically hidden; on the other hand, through this configuration of the user interface elements, in the communication process of the user with the first contact through the communication device 1700, the interface resources used by the user through the interactive interface, such as the first button 1706, the second button 1707 and the third button (not shown in the figure), are integrated in the directly visible part of the single interactive interface and are collectively provided to the user, so that the user can access all the user interface elements without crossing different levels of interactive interfaces or additional operations, in other words, the configuration mode of the user interface elements does not need to click certain entry buttons to enter the interface of the next level or the sub-interface of the current level after the user accesses the first communication means/user interface element through the interface of the current level, which further improves the accessibility of multiple communication resources in the same communication network or multiple communication resources in different multiple communication networks to the user, or the efficiency of the user in the process of interacting with the first contact.
The resource providing method according to other embodiments of the present invention further includes: in response to a user's switching operation, a second contact interaction interface or application portal is displayed from the first contact interaction interface, which supports the user to switch contacts or to other functional interfaces through a single action, reducing interaction complexity, as shown in fig. 4, while at the same time displaying the title'Key/button layout and its form and functionThe embodiments relating to the various user interface elements, such as the buttons, referred to herein may be combined or reversed with the embodiments described herein and above. Of course, the switching operation may also include a set of simple interactive operations, that is, switching the contact through a plurality of actions or switching to other functional interfaces, for example, switching back from the first contact interactive interface to the previous interactive level through the first gesture to display the first contact profile interface, switching to display the second contact profile interface through the second gesture, and then entering the next interactive level through the third gesture to display the second contact interactive interface or the application program, which may refer to the interface interaction schematic shown in fig. 3. The functions of the user profile interface described above have been described previously and will not be described in detail.
In addition, the application program portal may be a first functional interface corresponding to an application other than communication interaction, where the first contact interaction interface, the second contact interaction interface, and the first functional interface all belong to or are associated with a single application or multiple associated programs, and the first contact interaction interface, the second contact interaction interface, and the first functional interface are all located at a top layer of interaction of the single application, so that the interaction interfaces may be switched to each other at a first level of interaction of the application in response to a switching operation of a user. Also, in some embodiments described above or below, a single application or associated multiple programs may be loaded as desktop interactive programs during a startup phase of the communication device, such that the first contact interactive interface, the second contact interactive interface, and the first functional interface are located at the top level of interaction of the entire software system, including the operating system, after system startup of the communication device. As previously described, the user may access the contact interaction interface and other functional interfaces through a first level of operation of the interaction of the software system of the communication device. The first contact interaction interface may comprise a single level interaction interface, i.e. a communication content interface or a communication record interface between the user and the contact. Of course, the first contact interaction interface may also comprise two levels of interaction interfaces, such as a user profile interface and a communication content interface between the user and the contact, in which case, typically, after system start-up of the communication device, the user profile interface in the first contact interaction interface will be loaded on top of interactions of the whole software system for direct access by the user after start-up of the communication device. In summary, this is a resource allocation that is directed to communication with contacts, or is centered on contact related information, which greatly increases the accessibility of communication resources to users, such as contact related information, and various available communication functions around contacts. This is quite different from prior art resource configurations that are oriented with the division of application, software functions/groups of functions (functions groups).
Notably, are: the first functional interface may belong to or be associated with a single application of the communication device, but the first functional interface or the content provided by the first functional interface, such as an application program, may be developed by a third party, for example, a plug-in developed by the third party, or an application program of a separate third party running outside the system of the communication device or outside an operation platform of the communication device. These plug-ins or shortcuts to third party applications are provided to the user at the communication device through the first functional interface. If the third party application is launched, then interaction of the third party application may be presented at the communication device, but if the third party application exits, then a first interaction level of the software system of the communication device, such as a first contact interaction interface, the second contact interaction interface, and the first functional interface, will still be presented on the desktop of the communication device.
Alternatively, the profile interface may include an avatar image of the first contact and a display area for displaying a single piece or a few pieces of latest information including weather, stock market, health information, latest instant message, or reminder information (reminder), etc.

Specifically, the communication device in fig. 13B transmits some data traffic information on the first contact communication recording interface 1310 'as shown in fig. 13B through the wireless data transmission network in response to an operation on the first button 1330b_1 or 1330a_1, and outputs data traffic information received through the wireless data transmission network through the message region 1312 on the first contact communication recording interface 1310' in response to an operation on the second button 1330a_2 or 1330b_2. Or, in response to an operation of the first button 1330b_1 or 1330a_1, a phone call is initiated or an incoming phone call is received to or from the first contact through the mobile phone network, and in response to an operation of the second button 1330a_2 or 1330b_2, a short message service is established with or a short message from the first contact received through the mobile phone network is output through the mobile phone network. And thereafter, in response to a user's switching operation, the processor executes the program module 1201-1 to cause the communication device to switch display a second contact interaction interface or application portal (not shown) from the first contact interaction interface in response to the user's switching operation.

On the one hand, these input interfaces are continuously and stably provided on the interface, which avoids the need for the user to use the input interfaces to reproduce on the interface through additional operations when the input interfaces are automatically hidden; on the other hand, through this configuration of the user interface elements, in the communication process of the user with the first contact through the communication device 1300, the interface resources used by the user through the interactive interface, such as the input interface, are integrated and collectively (collectively) provided in a persistent manner on the direct visual portion of the single interactive interface, so that the user can access all the input interfaces without crossing different levels of interactive interfaces or additional operations, in other words, the configuration mode of one or more user interface elements does not need to click certain entry buttons after the user accesses the first communication means/user interface element through the current level of interface to enter the next level of interface or the sub-interface of the current level of interface to access the second communication means/user interface element, which further improves the accessibility of multiple communication resources in the same communication network or multiple communication resources in different communication networks to the user, or the interactive efficiency of the user in the communication process with the first contact. For simplicity, in the methods or apparatuses according to other embodiments of the present invention, an implementation of an interaction interface in which a plurality of or all communication input interfaces are collectively provided at the same level will not be described, where the plurality of or all communication input interfaces may be associated with the same communication network, or may correspond to different multiple communication networks.

Of course, in the process of switching from the interactive interface of the first contact to the interactive interface of the second contact or other application program entry interface, one or more operations from the user may be performed, and one or more interfaces of different levels may be spanned.
It should be noted that: the application portal may be a first functional interface corresponding to an application other than a communication interaction. The first contact interaction interface, the second contact interaction interface and the first function interface all belong to or are associated with a single application or a plurality of associated programs, and the first contact interaction interface, the second contact interaction interface and the first function interface are all located on top of interaction of the single application, so that the interaction interfaces can be mutually switched on a first level of interaction of the application in response to switching operation of a user. Also, in some embodiments described above or below, a single application or associated multiple programs may be loaded as desktop interactive programs during a startup phase of the communication device, such that the first contact interactive interface, the second contact interactive interface, and the first functional interface are located at the top level of interaction of the entire software system, including the operating system, after system startup of the communication device. As previously described, the user may access the contact interaction interface and other functional interfaces through a first level of operation of the interaction of the software system of the communication device. The first contact interaction interface may comprise a single-level interaction interface, i.e. a communication content interface, or communication record interface, between the user and the contact. Of course, the first contact interaction interface may also include two levels of interaction interfaces, such as the user profile interface and the communication content interface between the user and the contact, where in the latter case, typically, after system start-up of the communication device, the user profile interface in the first contact interaction interface is loaded on top of interactions of the entire software system for direct access by the user after start-up of the communication device. In summary, this is a resource allocation that is directed to communication with contacts, or is centered on contact related information, which greatly increases the accessibility of communication resources to users, such as contact related information, and various available communication functions around contacts. This is quite different from prior art resource configurations that are oriented with the division of application, software functions/groups of functions (functions groups).
Notably, are: the first functional interface described above may belong to or be associated with a single application of the communication device, but the first functional interface or content provided therein, such as an application, may be developed by a third party, for example, a plug-in developed by a third party, or an application of a separate third party running outside the system of the communication device or outside the operating platform of the communication device. These plug-ins or shortcuts to third party applications are provided to the user at the communication device through the first functional interface. If the third party application is launched, then interaction of the third party application may be presented at the communication device, but if the third party application exits, then a first interaction level of the software system of the communication device, such as a first contact interaction interface, the second contact interaction interface, and the first functional interface, will still be presented on the desktop of the communication device.
Some electronic devices or mobile terminals according to embodiments of the present invention, including the embodiment shown in fig. 13, include a connector between a mobile phone and an operation part, where the connector may be a spring probe connector, for example, a pogpin connector, and two ends of the connector are a probe interface and a pinhole interface, and the connector is not easy to be damaged even if the connector is repeatedly plugged. Preferably, the probe interface of the pogpin connector is disposed on the base and coupled with at least one physical operation part, and the mobile phone is correspondingly configured with the pinhole interface of the pogpin connector. The pinhole interface of the connector is connected with the processor unit in the mobile phone in pairs, and is connected with the probe interface of the pogpin connector in pairs in a detachable mode so as to be coupled with at least one entity operation part on the base.
Fig. 21 is a schematic structural view of a terminal communication device according to another embodiment of the present invention. The following describes in detail the relevant operation of the communication device of the embodiment in connection/disconnection of the connector, in which network connection switching occurs, etc., with reference to fig. 21. As for the communication device of the present embodiment, the available plurality of communication networks include a wireless lan and a mobile communication network, and the terminal communication device of the present embodiment further includes a connector interface 2140, the connector interface 2140 being connected to the processor unit in pairs, the connector interface 2140 being externally used for detachably coupling the entity operation section, for example, through a connector second interface 2140' provided on the base 2120. The base 2120 is physically independent of the handset 2110. The operation unit is embodied as a physical keyboard 2130, the physical keyboard 2130 is disposed on the housing of the base 2120, and both ends of the connector interface 2140 are disposed on the housing of the mobile phone 2110 and the base 2120, respectively, so that the physical keyboard 2130 can be connected to a processor disposed inside the communication device through the connector interface 2140.
Alternatively, for the embodiment shown in fig. 21 that includes the communication device of the connector interface 2140 and the base 2120, and other communication devices of all embodiments, one or more programs are executable by the processor to: switching the communication device between the wireless local area network and the mobile communication network according to one or more of the following three: i) Network switching operations from the user, ii) peripheral (ambient) communication network conditions, iii) connection or disconnection of the connector interface 2140, and simultaneously, the cell phone 2110 and the base 2120 are also combined or separated by the connector interface 2140.
In particular, in one aspect, in some exemplary application scenarios, a WLAN wireless data transmission network signal is generally available to a mobile phone of a user in a residence such as a user's room, while a mobile communication network is also available for access, and in this scenario, one or more programs in the mobile phone 2110 may be executed by a processor to enable the mobile phone 2110 to access the WLAN in the room, and as the geographic location of the user changes, for example, the user shifts from indoor to outdoor, the change in the geographic location may cause a communication network condition around the mobile phone 2110 carried by the user, such as a signal strength of the wireless communication network, to change. Generally, during the movement of the user, the WLAN signal will be weaker and the mobile communication network will be stronger, and when the WLAN communication network signal is below a predetermined threshold, one or more programs in the handset 2110 may be executed by the processor to cause the handset 2110 to access the mobile communication network. If the user returns to the home or a surrounding area of a residence, one or more programs in the handset 2110 may be executed by the processor to re-access the handset 2110 to the WLAN based on a comparison of the signal strengths of the available networks.
Meanwhile, it is noted that: the handset 2110 may be used in conjunction with the base 2120 or may be used independently as a mobile terminal. When the user is indoors, the mobile phone 2110 may be disposed on the base 2120, and the mobile phone 2110 is operated by a physical keyboard 2130 disposed on the base, while when the user is outdoors, the user typically operates the mobile phone by virtual keys/buttons provided on a screen of the mobile phone 2110, and the virtual keys/buttons and the keyboard 2130 have at least one of correspondence and/or consistency in number, layout, morphology, appearance, orientation, color system, color, shape, and pattern, which are not described herein.
In summary, one or more programs within the handset 2110 may be executed by the processor to make a comprehensive decision to access the handset 2110 to a WLAN or mobile communications network based on the connection or disconnection of the connector, or based on the connection or disconnection of the connector in combination with the communications conditions or communications environment of the network. Wherein, the communication conditions of the network include: signal strength, network connectivity/stability, etc., or network status, etc.
Further, optionally, the media capturing element in the above-mentioned communication device may include at least one of a microphone and a camera, and the media playing element may include at least one of a speaker and a display.
Moreover, it should be noted that, in the method, the communication apparatus, and the electronic device according to some embodiments of the present invention, the mentioned display screen (display screen) generally refers to a screen portion of a display (display) to which the communication apparatus/the electronic device is coupled, preferably a touch display, a touch display screen, or also simply referred to as a display, which may be a separate display unit independent of the electronic device, such as a television, or may be a touch display integrally assembled with the electronic device, and may not be repeated elsewhere.
When the mobile phone 2110 can be used in combination with the base 2120, that is, the connector interface 2140 communicates with the connector opposite interface 2140' provided on the base, the user is also typically located indoors and thus the WLAN signal is strong, and correspondingly, the mobile phone 2110 may also automatically access the WLAN. When the user removes the mobile phone 2110 from the base 2120, the connector interface 2140 is separated from the connector opposite interface 2140' provided on the base, and in this case, the user may move to the open air and away from the WLAN, so the mobile phone 2110 may automatically access the mobile communication network, or comprehensively determine whether the mobile phone 2110 should be accessed to the mobile communication network or maintain the access state of the WLAN according to the disconnection state of the connector and the signal strength of a plurality of communication networks available in the environment and whether the network switching operation of the user occurs. In other words, as a result of switching the communication device between different communication networks such as the wireless lan and the mobile communication network, it is possible to still maintain the connection with the current communication network or to switch from the current communication network to another available communication network, which maintains the quality and stability of the communication connection, and to obtain the optimal communication effect as a whole.
In one or more programs in the mobile phone 2110, when the communication device such as the mobile phone is combined with the home base, a signal identifying connection with the base is sent to the operating system or the processor of the mobile phone through the data interface in the connector interface 2140, and after the one or more programs acquire the signal/event notification through the software system, the corresponding program module can switch the WLAN in the connection room and switch the software mode to the "home mode". On the contrary, when the communication equipment such as the mobile phone and the household base are disconnected, a signal for identifying disconnection with the base is sent to an operating system or a processor of the mobile phone through a data interface, after one or more programs acquire the signal/event notification through a software system, the corresponding program modules can be switched to be connected to the mobile communication networks such as 3G, 4G, 5G and the like, and correspondingly, the software mode of the system is also switched to the "mobile phone mode". The "mobile phone mode" and the "home mode" herein generally relate to home scenes and scenes of outdoor movement, and in particular, relate to different ways of calling and running software and hardware resources or ways of providing interactive resources provided by users and different interaction styles generated thereby. For example, in the "mobile phone mode" mode, communication resources such as voice telephone service carried by the mobile telephone network, short message service, or data service carried by the mobile data network are mainly used or used by default. And is mainly used in the above-mentioned "home mode", or by default, uses instant communication resources such as video phones, voice messages, etc. carried through WLAN, internet. In addition, in the "home mode", resources such as a camera in the mobile phone can be automatically activated to start a monitoring function, and in the "mobile phone mode", resources and functions related to the camera are closed and a speaker is enabled. In "handset mode", the processor may be configured to automatically activate resources such as GPS in the handset to enable outdoor location/navigation services for the user; while in "home mode" this function and related resources are turned off.
Furthermore, if the above-mentioned connection switching between WLAN or mobile communication network performed automatically by the mobile phone 2110 does not meet the needs of the user, the user may also manually operate an interaction portal provided on the mobile phone, such as a button for switching connection of a communication network presented on a display screen, according to an actual usage scenario, so as to switch connection of the mobile phone 2110 to the communication network selected by the user. In other words, one or more programs within the handset 2110 may be executable by the processor to switch the handset 2110 between wireless local area network and mobile communications network in response to a network switch operation from the user.
In some of the communication devices described above or below, the media playing unit comprises a display screen, preferably a touch display screen, or also simply a display screen; one or more programs are executable by the processor unit to: providing, via the display screen, a first array of user interfaces corresponding to the wireless data transmission network and a second array of user interfaces corresponding to the mobile telephone network in response to any one of: i) Network switching operations from the user, ii) changes in surrounding communication network conditions, iii) connection or disconnection of the connector. Wherein the second user interface array and the first user interface array respectively comprise one or more interface elements such as buttons presented on the display screen for a user to establish communication via a communication network such as a wireless data transmission network by operating the buttons.
Notably: all the connectors in the communication device according to the embodiments of the present invention described above and below may include a spring probe connector, such as a pogo pin connector, with a probe interface and a pin hole interface at two ends, respectively, and are not easily damaged even if the connectors are repeatedly plugged. Preferably, the probe interface of the pogo pin connector is configured on the base, and the pinhole interface of the pogo pin connector is correspondingly configured on the mobile phone.
Alternatively, when the above-described communication apparatus makes a connection handover between wireless local area networks or mobile communication networks, one or more programs stored in the communication apparatus may be executed by the processor unit to: the user interface element on the first interactive interface is functionally and formally reconfigured to be associated with the wireless local area network in response to the communication device switching connection to the wireless local area network. Or one or more programs stored in the communication device may be executable by the processor unit to: the user interface element on said first interactive interface is functionally and formally reconfigured to be associated with a mobile communication network, in particular a mobile telephone network, in response to the communication device switching connection to the mobile communication network.
Fig. 22 is a schematic diagram of an interactive interface in a terminal communication device according to another embodiment of the present invention. The following exemplifies the terminal communication device of the embodiment shown in fig. 22, and the above-mentioned user interface elements, such as the second user interface array and the first user interface array shown in the drawings, may be reconfigured to have their functions and forms after the communication device performs a network connection handover.
As shown in fig. 22, the first user interface array 2230A provided on the first contact interaction interface on the left side includes three interface elements, or three buttons, on the touch display screen, corresponding to "short message", "short message" and "online talk" communications with the current contact on the display screen, respectively. The second user interface array 2230B provided on the first contact interactive interface on the right also includes three buttons corresponding to communications for "send voice message", "listen to voice message", "video call" for the current contact on the display screen, respectively. One or more programs stored in the memory in the terminal communication device of this embodiment may be executed by the processor unit (not shown in the figure) to collect a first media signal, such as a voice message, a video message, through the microphone, the camera, etc., and transmit the first media signal, such as the voice message or the video message, etc., through the wireless data transmission network in response to a fifth operation, such as a single long-time press, a double-click touch, etc., of a middle button among the three buttons of the second user interface array 2230B by the user. In general, the wireless data transmission network may include a WLAN and a mobile data network belonging to a mobile communication network. In addition, one or more programs may also be executed by the processor unit to output, through a media playing unit such as a speaker, a display screen, etc., a second media signal received via the wireless data transmission network in response to a sixth operation, e.g., a single press/touch, by the user on a lower button of the three buttons of the second user interface array 2230B. Alternatively, the second media signal, the first media signal are not limited to the above-mentioned voice message, but may be a video message, a text message, etc. belonging to data service information. By integrating and displaying a plurality of communication information from one or a plurality of communication networks carrying different communication services in the same contact interaction interface, the network connection can be switched according to comprehensive judgment of various conditions, the behavior of a user and the network environment to be in can be predicted to a certain extent according to the on-off state of the connector, and correspondingly, the electronic equipment can synchronously provide corresponding user interfaces for networks with different service properties. The interaction layer and the number requirements in the process of the user operating the mobile terminal to access the related communication information are reduced, for example, the user does not need to access different application programs such as a call management program and a short message management program in a mobile phone respectively to acquire two different communication information respectively; similarly, two kinds of communication information with different service properties, such as a short message and a voice message, are respectively acquired without respectively accessing different application programs, such as a short message management program and an instant communication program, in the mobile phone. The accessibility of the relevant communication resources/communication information in the user interaction is further improved.
Preferably, the display screen may be a touch display screen, the mobile communication network includes a mobile telephone network, and the one or more programs are further executable by the processor unit to: i) In response to a seventh operation of a user on a middle button included in the first user interface array 2230A, for example, a single press/touch or the like, collecting a short message edited by the user through a touch display screen or collecting a third media signal such as voice of the user through a media collection unit such as a microphone and transmitting the third media signal through a mobile phone network; ii) outputting said fourth media signal, e.g. a short message, received via the mobile telephone network by means of a media playing unit such as a display screen, a speaker, etc. in response to an eighth operation of the lower button in the first user interface array 2230A by the user, e.g. a single press/touch, etc., i.e. one or more programs are executable by the processor to convert text of the short message into speech by means of a "text-to-speech" function, which is output in the speaker. It should be understood that the third media signal and the fourth media signal are not limited to the short message service information, but may be voice service related information such as voice call records and voice calls.
It should be noted that: the voice service information, the short message service information and the data service related information transmitted by the wireless data transmission network can be displayed on the first contact interaction interface on the display screen in a collective or centralized way, or can be divided into a plurality of groups, and each group is independently displayed on the first contact interaction interface in different time periods. In other words, one or more programs in the communication device are executable by the processor unit to: alternatively, the one or more programs may be further executed by the processor unit to integrate and display the first media signal, the second media signal, the third media signal, and the fourth media signal on the display screen. The user can browse the voice service information, the short message service information, the voice message, the video message, the text message and the like belonging to the data service information on the same first contact interaction interface. This integrated display promotes the accessibility (accessibility) of the information generated by the various communication services to the user.
In addition, it should be understood that: in a state where the communication device is connected to the mobile communication network but not to the WLAN, such as the "handset mode" or the "outdoor mode" of the embodiment shown in fig. 22 described below, the operation interface of the data service or the user interface element of the communication network supporting the data service may still be provided on the display screen of the communication device by one or more programs in the communication device, so that the user may perform data service based communication with the current contact through these interfaces, where the communication of the data service may be established through the mobile data network in the mobile communication network, such as sending a voice message, receiving a picture message, a video message, etc. Conversely, when the electronic device is in the "home mode" state of connecting to the WLAN, the electronic device may still provide an operation interface of the mobile voice service and the short message service or a user interface element supporting operation of the mobile communication network on the display screen of the communication device through one or more programs in the communication device, so as to allow the user to send a short message, answer a call, and so on. The same applies to the methods or devices, apparatuses in other embodiments described above or below. And will not be described in detail elsewhere.
In the schematic diagram of the interactive interface in the resource providing method in the embodiment shown in fig. 22, the above-mentioned multiple media signals, or called communication information, may be divided into two groups, and displayed on the first contact interactive interface sequentially in time for two setting modes of the communication device. For example, the communication device may switch the connection between the WLAN and the mobile communication network in response to a user's clicking operation of a mode switch button such as "handset mode"/"internet mode" or "outdoor mode"/"home mode" on the upper right of the first contact interaction interface. Whereas communication traffic corresponding to WLAN is mainly data traffic, e.g. sending or receiving the following information: audio messages, video messages, picture messages, geographic locations, text messages, files, data, and so forth. The communication service corresponding to the mobile communication network is mainly a voice service and a short message service. The data service related information such as voice message sending and receiving may be displayed on a first contact interaction interface (not shown in the figure) in the internet mode, and the information related to voice call and short message may be displayed on a first contact interaction interface in the mobile phone mode, as shown in a first message area 2203 in the left diagram in fig. 22. Of course, it should be understood that: voice messages, video messages, text messages, etc. belonging to the data traffic information may also be displayed independently on the first contact interactive interface in the internet mode, for example a first message area (not shown in the figure). Furthermore, the above-mentioned plurality of communication information is not limited to the case where the plurality of communication information are displayed in the same space at different times, that is, the first contact interaction interface, and the plurality of communication information may be collectively displayed on the first contact interaction interface, as shown in the first message area 2203 in the right-hand diagram of fig. 22, the communication records of the "voice call incoming record" and the "short message" are all from communication through the mobile phone network, and the "internet voice message", "geographic location information" and the "picture" are all from the wireless data transmission network such as the mobile data network or the WLAN.
Of course, the user interface elements available to the user for operation and use of the communication capabilities of the mobile data network, mobile telephone network, WLAN, etc. network may be provided collectively on the first contact interface or displayed in time sequence on the first contact interface, e.g. in a group, without being limited by the communication network available or actually accessed by the communication device. Here, reference may also be made to the diversity of the display manners of the plurality of communication information with different service properties on the first contact interaction interface in the embodiment shown in fig. 22, or reference may also be made to the diversity of the display manners of the user interface elements and the plurality of communication information with corresponding different service properties on the interface in the embodiment shown in fig. 19, where various modifications referred to herein are also applicable, or reference is made to the methods or apparatuses, devices in the above or other embodiments described below. And will not be described in detail elsewhere.
Optionally, the physical operation part and the virtual user interface element are functionally redefined for the application of the first interactive interface and the application of the second interactive interface, respectively. In other words, the entity operation part may be functionally configured as user interfaces corresponding to similar or different application programs provided in the first interactive interface and the second interactive interface through one or more programs in the cellular phone. The virtual user interface element may also be functionally configured by one or more programs in the handset as user interfaces corresponding to similar or different application programs provided in the first and second interactive interfaces. Thus, the user can operate the software functions on different interactive interfaces by using the same entity operation part, or can operate the software functions on different interactive interfaces by using the same or similar virtual user interface elements on different interactive interfaces. This follows the usage habit of the user, and improves the operability of the terminal device or the communication device such as the mobile phone. For example, when the interactive interface is switched, the user interface element is correspondingly provided on the switched user interface and the function associated with the user interface element is redefined according to the function of the switched user interface. For example, the first interactive interface provides a communication application program, a communication interactive program, and the second interactive interface provides an application program of an album, correspondingly, when the communication device displays the first interactive interface, a plurality of entity buttons/keys provided on the base, or a plurality of virtual buttons/keys provided on the first interactive interface, respectively, the associated functions may be "send voice message" and "listen to voice message", or "make/answer phone call" and "edit/send short message", etc., while when the communication device displays the second interactive interface, a plurality of entity buttons/keys provided on the base, or a plurality of virtual buttons/keys provided on the second interactive interface, respectively, the associated functions may be "take a picture/record video", or "browse a picture/video", etc.
The virtual user interface elements provided on the user interface described above may be maintained in form consistent with the physical operations provided on the base, and the processor may also be programmed to maintain form consistent across interfaces. In other words, the user interface elements are configured by one or more programs in the handset to maintain formal consistency across interfaces, and at the same time also formal consistency with the physical operator. For example, the user interface elements distributed on the first interactive interface and the second interactive interface are configured by one or more programs in the mobile phone to have consistency and/or correspondence with the entity operation part for at least one of: number, layout, morphology, look, orientation, color system, color, shape, pattern. Taking consistency of the layout as an example, fig. 21 is a schematic layout diagram of a physical operation portion and virtual user interface elements of a communication device according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the virtual user interface elements 2002 include three virtual keys distributed on a first contact interaction interface: "listen", "talk", "telephone". The physical operation unit 2001 includes three physical keys provided on the base 2003: "listen", "talk", "telephone". The key layout of the entity operation unit 2001 and the user interface element 2002 corresponds to each other, or has consistency. Wherein, the "listen", "talk" two keys of the user interface element 2002 are arranged adjacently, and are located in the middle of the right side of the first contact interaction interface, while the "phone" key is located in the upper right side of the first contact interaction interface, and correspondingly, the "listen", "talk" and "phone" three entity keys of the entity operation portion 2001 on the base 2003 have the same/similar layout. The mobile phone terminal device is further compatible with the use habit of a user, and the operability of the mobile phone terminal device or the electronic equipment is improved.
