Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a system and a method for automatic call synchronization. When a mobile terminal receives a called signal from a calling mobile terminal and determines that an automatic call synchronization function is enabled by itself, the mobile terminal transmits, to a wireless signal transponder, a call synchronization request which carries identification information and call information of the mobile terminal; a mode recognition unit which is connected to the wireless signal transponder performs an authentication on the mobile terminal according to the identification information of the mobile terminal; and transmits a call access request which carries the identification information and the call information of the mobile terminal to the fixed terminal via the wireless signal transponder, after the authentication on the mobile terminal is passed.

First claim

We claim:

1. An automatic call synchronization system, comprising: a wireless signal transponder, at least one mobile terminal, a fixed terminal, and a mode recognition unit connected to the wireless signal transponder, wherein
the mobile terminal is configured to transmit, to the wireless signal transponder, a call synchronization request which carries identification information and call information of the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal receives a called signal from a calling mobile terminal and determines that an automatic call synchronization function is enabled by itself;
the mode recognition unit is configured to authenticate the mobile terminal according to the identification information of the mobile terminal in response to receiving the call synchronization request forwarded by the wireless signal transponder, and transmit a call access request which carries the identification information and the call information of the mobile terminal to the fixed terminal via the wireless signal transponder when the mobile terminal is authenticated;
the fixed terminal is configured to notify a user of the mobile terminal that there is a call according to the identification information and the call information of the mobile terminal, in response to receiving the call access request, and transmit a call access response to the wireless signal transponder when it is determined that the user of the mobile terminal answers the call with the fixed terminal, and complete communication for the call over a network connected between the calling mobile terminal and the fixed terminal; and
the mode recognition unit is further configured to, when the mobile terminal is located in a coverage area of a wireless network of the wireless signal transponder, receive an addressing request which carries the identification information of the mobile terminal and is transmitted by the fixed terminal via the wireless signal transponder, authenticate the mobile terminal according to the identification information of the mobile terminal, and transmit a request for obtaining addressing information to the corresponding mobile terminal via the wireless signal transponder when the mobile terminal is authenticated.

2. The automatic call synchronization system according to claim 1 , wherein when it is determined that the user of the mobile terminal answers the call with the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal is configured to transmit the call access request which carries the identification information of the mobile terminal to the mode recognition unit via the wireless signal transponder; and
wherein when the mode recognition unit receives the call access response forwarded by the wireless signal transponder and the call access request of the mobile terminal, the mode recognition unit is configured to authenticate the mobile terminal according to the identification information of the mobile terminal, and
wherein when the mobile terminal is authenticated, a communication channel between the mobile terminal and the fixed terminal is established by the wireless signal transponder.

3. The automatic call synchronization system according to claim 1 , wherein the mode recognition unit is further configured to determine whether the mobile terminal is located in a coverage of a wireless network of the wireless signal transponder or not; and if so, to transmit an instruction of enabling the automatic call synchronization function to the mobile terminal and the fixed terminal respectively via the wireless signal transponder.

4. The automatic call synchronization system according to claim 3 , wherein the mode recognition unit is configured to obtain the identification information of the mobile terminal via the wireless signal transponder when it is determined that the mobile terminal is located in the coverage of the wireless network of the wireless signal transponder, and transmit the instruction of enabling the automatic call synchronization function to the mobile terminal and the fixed terminal respectively via the wireless signal transponder, when the mobile terminal is authenticated.

5. The automatic call synchronization system according to claim 3 , wherein the mobile terminal is further configured to disable the automatic call synchronization function when it is determined that the mobile terminal leaves the coverage of the wireless network of the wireless signal transponder.

6. The automatic call synchronization system according to claim 3 , wherein the mode recognition unit is further configured to determine whether the mobile terminal is within the coverage of the wireless network of the wireless signal transponder or not; if not, to transmit an instruction of disabling the automatic call synchronization function to the fixed terminal via the wireless signal transponder.

7. The automatic call synchronization system according to claim 1 , wherein the fixed terminal is further configured to display information on calling the user of the mobile terminal.

8. The automatic call synchronization system according to claim 1 , wherein
the mobile terminal is further configured to transmit, via the wireless signal transponder, corresponding stored information to the fixed terminal for displaying, in response to receiving the request for obtaining addressing information which is forwarded by the wireless signal transponder.

9. The automatic call synchronization system according to claim 1 , wherein the mode recognition unit and the wireless signal transponder are integrated in the fixed terminal.

10. The automatic call synchronization system according to claim 1 , wherein the mode recognition unit is integrated in the wireless signal transponder.

11. An automatic call synchronization method, comprising:
transmitting, by a mobile terminal, a call synchronization request which carries identification information and call information of the mobile terminal to a wireless signal transponder which is connected to a mode recognition unit, when the mobile terminal receives a called signal from a calling mobile terminal and determines that an automatic call synchronization function is enabled by itself;
authenticating, by the mode recognition unit, the mobile terminal according to the identification information of the mobile terminal when the mode recognition unit receives the call synchronization request forwarded by the wireless signal transponder;
transmitting, by the mode recognition unit, a call access request which carries the identification information and the call information of the mobile terminal to the fixed terminal via the wireless signal transponder when the mobile terminal is authenticated;
notifying, by the fixed terminal, a user of the mobile terminal that there is a call according to the identification information and the call information of the mobile terminal when the fixed terminal receives the call access request; and
transmitting, by the fixed terminal, a call access response to the wireless signal transponder when it is determined that the user of the mobile terminal answers the call with the fixed terminal, and completing communication for the call over a network connected between the calling mobile terminal and the fixed terminal;
wherein authenticating the mobile terminal further comprises:
receiving, by the mode recognition unit, when the mobile terminal is located in a coverage area of a wireless network of the wireless signal transponder, an addressing request which carries the identification information of the mobile terminal and is transmitted by the fixed terminal, via the wireless signal transponder;
authenticating, by the mode recognition unit, the mobile terminal according to the identification information of the mo
