Real-time traffic and call cost reminding apparatus and method

Abstract

The present invention provides a real-time traffic and call cost reminding method. The method includes the steps that an application installed on a terminal monitors a lock screen state of the terminal; the application sends a query request to a first server according to lock screen state information; the application receives a query response returned from the first server; and correspondingly, the application generates and shows reminding information according to a query result. A specific function, that is cellphone lock screen, is used skillfully, so that it is ensured that the latest traffic and call cost use conditions can be seen in real time at where user concerns are.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device and method for reminding real-time traffic and telephone charges. Background technique [0002] With the advent of the mobile Internet era, a large number of mobile terminal APPs not only bring great convenience to people, but also bring some risks. A typical problem is that many APPs consume the user's mobile data traffic without the user's knowledge, causing a sudden increase in the phone bill of the mobile phone user, causing user dissatisfaction. In order to reduce and eliminate the occurrence of such abnormal traffic, telecom operators on the one hand recommend that mobile phone users download software from regular app stores, do not install software from unknown sources, and do not click on links of unknown origin that are spread through text messages or the Internet. On the other hand, telecom operators have also strengthened active reminders of data usage, sending SMS reminders to users when their mobile data ...

Problems solved by technology

However, the problem with similar technologies is that it is difficult to predict the user’s online behavior through algorithms, and the network environment where the user is located is also changing all the time. For example, when the user suddenly switches from the 2G network environment to the 4G network environment, the Internet access speed will increase. More than 1000 times, if you use historical data to predict, there will be very large errors

[0008] Traffic reminders through telecom operators' traffic reminder text messages are poor in timeliness and are easily intercepted by security software. Mobile phone users are less and less concerned about text messages, and the reminder effect is not good.

[0009] Existing technologies cannot accurately capture the timing of user traffic reminders. Many solutions require users to initiate initiative, or send traffic query requests as long as users have Internet access requests. However, on the one hand, users may not always actively query data traffic. On the other hand, the always-on APP makes it unfeasible to query traffic as long as you surf the Internet, so the timing of traffic reminders is difficult to solve with existing technologies

[0010] In addition, it is not feasible to judge the timing of traffic reminders based on historical traffic usage behavior, because it is difficult to predict the behavior of users using traffic, and the network environment in which users live changes too quickly. Predicting traffic usage based on historical data will cause many problems. big error

[0011] To sum up, there are certain defects in the existing traffic reminder or call fee reminder technical solutions
