Abstract

A method for incoming call notification is disclosed. The method may comprise, when receiving an incoming call, determining voice identification information of the incoming call according to number information of the incoming call, and playing the voice identification information of the incoming call.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for incoming call notification, comprising:
when receiving an incoming call, determining voice identification information of the incoming call according to number information of the incoming call; and
playing the voice identification information of the incoming call,
wherein the determining of the voice identification information of the incoming call includes:
inquiring contact information according to the number information of the incoming call;
when contact information corresponding to the number information of the incoming call is found, determining the voice identification information to be first voice prompt information of the incoming call, the first voice prompt information including the contact information corresponding to the number information of the incoming call;
when no contact information corresponding to the number information of the incoming call is found, inquiring yellow page information according to the number information of the incoming call;
when yellow page information corresponding to the number information of the incoming call is found, determining the voice identification information to be second voice prompt information of the incoming call, the second voice prompt information including the yellow page information corresponding to the number information of the incoming call;
when no yellow page information corresponding to the number information of the incoming call is found, inquiring identification tag information according to the number information of the incoming call; and
when identification tag information corresponding to the number information of the incoming call is found, determining the voice identification information to be third voice prompt information of the incoming call, the third voice prompt information including the identification tag information corresponding to the number information of the incoming call.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
when no identification tag information corresponding to the number information of the incoming call is found, determining the voice identification information to be fourth voice prompt information of the incoming call, the fourth voice prompt information including the number information of the incoming call.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein inquiring the contact information, the yellow page information, or the identification tag information according to the number information of the incoming call comprises at least one of:
locally inquiring the contact information, the yellow page information, or the identification tag information; or
inquiring the contact information, the yellow page information, or the identification tag information at a server end via a network.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein playing the voice identification information of the incoming call comprises:
converting the voice identification information of the incoming call into a voice message; and
outputting the voice message via a local audio output device, or transmitting the voice message to an audio output peripheral via a pre-established audio path.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein:
the audio output peripheral comprises a Bluetooth earphone, and
the pre-established audio path comprises one of an Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) path or a Synchronous Connection Oriented link (SCO) path.

6. A device for incoming call notification, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
when receiving an incoming call, determine voice identification information of the incoming call according to number information of the incoming call; and
play the voice identification information of the incoming call,
wherein the determining of the voice identification information of the incoming call includes:
inquiring contact information according to the number information of the incoming call;
when contact information corresponding to the number information of the incoming call is found, determining the voice identification information to be first voice prompt information of the incoming call, the first voice prompt information including the contact information corresponding to the number information of the incoming call;
when no contact information corresponding to the number information of the incoming call is found, inquiring yellow page information according to the number information of the incoming call;
when yellow page information corresponding to the number information of the incoming call is found, determining the voice identification information to be second voice prompt information of the incoming call, the second voice prompt information including the yellow page information corresponding to the number information of the incoming call;
when no yellow page information corresponding to the number information of the incoming call is found, inquiring identification tag information according to the number information of the incoming call; and
when identification tag information corresponding to the number information of the incoming call is found, determining the voice identification information to be third voice prompt information of the incoming call, the third voice prompt information including the identification tag information corresponding to the number information of the incoming call.

7. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
when no identification tag information corresponding to the number information of the incoming call is found, determine the voice identification information to be fourth voice prompt information of the incoming call, the fourth voice prompt information including the number information.

8. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
locally inquire the contact information, the yellow page information, or the identification tag information, or

9. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
convert the voice identification information of the incoming call into a voice message; and
output the voice message via a local audio output device, or transmit the voice message to an audio output peripheral via a pre-established audio path.

10. The device according to claim 9 , wherein:
the audio output peripheral comprises a Bluetooth earphone, and
the pre-established audio path comprises one of an Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) path or a Synchronous Connection Oriented link (SCO) path.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor of a terminal device, cause the terminal device to perform a method for incoming call notification, the method comprising:
when receiving an incoming call, determining voice identification information of the incoming call according to number information of the incoming call; and
playing the voice identification information of the incoming call,
wherein the determining of the voice identification information of the incoming call includes:
inquiring contact information according to the number information of the incoming call;
when contact information corresponding to the number information of the incoming call is found, determining the voice identification information to be first voice prompt information of the incoming call, the first voice prompt information including the contact information corresponding to the number information of the incoming call;
when
