Abstract

The present invention discloses a method and device for message sending by a background program. The method for message sending by a background program comprises: acquiring a connection channel for message sending by a background program; according to a scenario of message sending by the background program, constructing a message to be sent; acquiring an interface for message sending by the background program; uploading the constructed message to the interface for message sending by the background program via the connection channel for message sending by the background program; and sending, by the background program, the message via the interface for message sending by the background program. The embodiment realizes automatic message sending by a background program, without the need for inputting a phone number or message content by a user, and the sending process does not affect the normal operation of the system.

First claim

1 . A method for sending a message by a background program, comprising:
acquiring a connection channel for messages ending by the background program; constructing the message to be sent, according to a scenario of message sending by the background program; acquiring an interface for message sending by the background program; and uploading the constructed message to the interface via the connection channel, and sending, by the background program, the constructed message via the interface.

2 . (canceled)

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the constructed message comprises the following information:
a message type, a message recipient, message content and a unique identifier of the message.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the constructed message further comprises at least one of the following information:
(a) a message subject and (b) whether to push sending the message.

5 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the message recipient is an array that stores at least one message recipient phone number or E-mail address.

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one message recipient phone number or E-mail address comprises:
at least one message recipient phone number or E-mail address preset by a user, or at least one message recipient phone number that is selected from mobile phone contacts and that has a maximum number of calls, or at least one message recipient phone number that is selected from mobile phone contacts and whose call duration is the longest, or at least one message recipient phone number or E-mail address selected randomly from all contacts.

7 . (canceled)

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the constructing the message to be sent, further comprises:
determining a recipient of the message according to the scenario of message sending by the background program.

9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the determining the recipient of the message according to the scenario of message sending by the background program comprises:
the background program sends a message to a designated recipient in the scenario in which a SIM card has changed for the mobile phone, and the recipient of the message sending by the background program is one or more selected from anti-theft contacts preset by the user; or one or more contacts who are selected from the mobile phone contacts and who have a maximum number of calls; or one or more contacts who are selected from the mobile phone contacts and whose call duration is the longest; or one or more contacts selected randomly from all mobile phone contacts; or in the scenario in which the background program executes a user operation instruction after the mobile phone is stolen and then replies with a message, the recipient of the message sending by the background program is a phone number or E-mail address that sends the operation instruction; or in the scenario in which the background program automatically subscribes to services, the recipient of the message sending by the background program is a mobile phone or E-mail address for subscribing services that is set by the user; or in the scenario in which the background program automatically replies with a message after a phone call is rejected, the recipient of the message sending by the background program is a rejected phone number.

10 . (canceled)

11 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
receiving a result message indicating whether the message is successfully sent, and if the sending fails, to resend the message.

12 . (canceled)

13 . (canceled)

14 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein
the message sending by the background program refers to directly sending the message without invoking a message interface.

15 . (canceled)

16 . A device for sending message by a background program, comprising a memory having instructions stored therein and at least one processor to execute the instructions to perform operations for sending a message by a background program, the operations comprising:
acquiring a connection channel for message sending by the background program; constructing the message to be sent, according to a scenario of message sending by the background program; acquiring an interface for message sending by the background program; and uploading the constructed message to the interface via the connection channel, and sending, by the background program, the constructed message via the interface.

17 . (canceled)

18 . The device according to claim 16 , wherein the constructed message comprises the following information:
a message type, a message recipient, message content and a unique identifier of the message.

19 . The device according to claim 18 , wherein the constructed message further comprises at least one of the following information:
(a) a message subject; and (b) whether to push sending the message.

20 . The device according to claim 18 , wherein the message recipient is an array that stores at least one message recipient phone number or E-mail address.

21 . The device according to claim 20 , wherein the at least one message recipient phone number or E-mail address comprises:
at least one message recipient phone number or E-mail address preset by the user, or at least one message recipient phone number or E-mail address that is selected from mobile phone contacts and that has a maximum number of calls, or at least one message recipient phone number or E-mail address that is selected from mobile phone contacts and whose call duration is the longest, or at least one message recipient phone number or E-mail address selected randomly from all contacts.

22 . (canceled)

23 . The device according to claim 16 , wherein the constructing the message to be sent, further comprises:
determining a recipient of the message according to the scenario of message sending by the background program, comprising any one of the following: the background program sends a message to a designated recipient in the scenario in which a SIM card has changed for the mobile phone, and the recipient of the message sending by the background program is one or more selected from anti-theft contacts preset by the user; or one or more contacts who are selected from the mobile phone contacts and who have a maximum number of calls; or one or more contacts who are selected from the mobile phone contacts and whose call duration is the longest; or one or more contacts selected randomly from all mobile phone contacts; or in the scenario in which the background program executes a user operation instruction after the mobile phone is stolen and then replies with a message, the recipient of the message sending by the background program is a phone number or E-mail address that sends the operation instruction; or in the scenario in which the background program automatically subscribes to services, the recipient of the message sending by the background program is a mobile phone or E-mail address for subscribing services that is set by the user; or in the scenario in which the background program automatically replies with a message after a phone call is rejected, the recipient of the message sending by the background program is a rejected phone number.
