Abstract

Disclosed are a mobile phone and a method for processing received information thereof. The method comprises the following steps: determining whether received information under current processing is from a secondary subscriber identity module (SIM) card of the mobile phone, and determining whether the secondary SIM card is locked; if the received information is from the secondary SIM card of the mobile phone and the secondary SIM card is locked, waiting for a subscriber to determine whether to process, through a primary SIM card of the mobile phone, the received information; and if the subscriber determines to process, through the primary SIM card of the mobile phone, the received information, processing the received information through the primary SIM card. In the present invention, when the secondary SIM card in the mobile phone is locked and it is necessary to reply to or forward a short message on the secondary SIM card, received information from the secondary SIM card can be processed in time through the primary SIM card, which is greatly convenient for the use of the subscriber.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mobile phone, comprising:
a memory;
a processor coupled to the memory;
one or more programs stored in the memory and executable by the processor, the one or more programs comprising:
an identity (ID) reading module, being configured to read a Mobile Network Code (MNC) and a Mobile Country Code (MCC) of each of subscriber identity module (SIM) cards in the mobile phone one by one;
a primary/secondary card determining module, being configured to only determine whether the MNC and the MCC of the SIM card exist in a pre-stored license code list, if the MNC and the MCC of the SIM card exist in the pre-stored license code list, then the SIM card is determined to be a primary SIM card, and if the MNC and the MCC of the SIM card do not exist in the pre-stored license code list, the SIM card is determined to be a secondary SIM card, such that the primary SIM card is satisfied with a standard defined by a communication operator of the mobile phone, and the secondary SIM card is not satisfied with the standard defined by the communication operator of the mobile phone, and satisfied with an another standard defined by an another communication operator;
a determining module, being configured to determine whether a short message being processed is from the secondary SIM card of the mobile phone and whether the secondary SIM card is locked out because the secondary SIM card is not satisfied with the standard defined by the communication operator of the mobile phone, wherein the determining module comprising:
a destination address acquiring module, being configured to acquire a destination address comprised in the short message; and
a comparing module, being configured to compare the destination address with address information of the primary SIM card, wherein if the destination address is inconsistent with the address information of the primary SIM card, then it is determined that the short message is from the secondary SIM card;

a choosing module, being configured to, if the short message is from the secondary SIM card of the mobile phone and the secondary SIM card is locked out because the secondary SIM card is not satisfied with the standard defined by the communication operator of the mobile phone, prompt a user to choose whether to process the short message via the primary SIM card of the mobile phone; and
a received information processing module, being configured to process the short message via the primary SIM card when the user chooses to process the short message via the primary SIM card of the mobile phone.

2. The mobile phone of claim 1 , wherein the received information processing module is further configured to set a destination server address of the short message being processed as a destination server address of the primary SIM card.

3. The mobile phone of claim 1 , wherein the received information is a short message.

4. A received information processing method for a mobile phone, comprising the following steps of:
identifying a primary subscriber identity module (SIM) card and a secondary SIM card by reading a Mobile Network Code (MNC) and a Mobile Country Code (MCC) of each of the SIM cards in the mobile phone one by one and only determining whether the MNC and MCC of the SIM card exist in a pre-stored license list, wherein if the MNC and the MCC of the SIM card exist in the pre-stored license list, then the SIM card is determined as the primary SIM card; and if the MNC and the MCC of the SIM card do not exist in the pre-stored license code list, then the SIM card is determined as the secondary SIM card, such that the primary SIM card is satisfied with a standard defined by a communication operator of the mobile phone, and the secondary SIM card is not satisfied with the standard defined by the communication operator of the mobile phone, and satisfied with an another standard defined by an another communication operator;
determining whether received information being currently processed is from the secondary SIM card of the mobile phone and determining whether the secondary SIM card is locked out because the secondary SIM card is not satisfied with the standard defined by the communication operator of the mobile phone, wherein the step of determining whether received information being currently processed is from the secondary SIM card of the mobile phone, comprising:
acquiring a destination address comprised in the received information; and
comparing the destination address with address information of the primary SIM card, wherein if the destination address is inconsistent with the address information of the primary SIM card, then it is determined that the received information is from the secondary SIM card;

if the received information is from the secondary SIM card of the mobile phone and the secondary SIM card is locked out because the secondary SIM card is not satisfied with the standard defined by the communication operator of the mobile phone, then waiting for a user choice of whether to process the received information via the primary SIM card of the mobile phone; and
if the user choice is to process the received information via the primary SIM card of the mobile phone, then processing the received information via the primary SIM card.

5. The received information processing method for a mobile phone of claim 4 , wherein the step of processing the received information via the primary SIM card comprises the following step of:
setting a destination server address of the received information being processed as a destination server address of the primary SIM card.

6. The received information processing method for a mobile phone of claim 4 , wherein the received information is a short message.
